Winter 2017 - Out of the 3 courses I have taken for my core MCDB classes, I would say that by far my most favorite class had to be MCDB 144 with Dr. Clark. As opposed to the professors I had for 165a and 138, Dr. Clark ensured that this class was not us memorizing a bunch of pathways but rather understanding the big idea behind topics covered in class and being able to design experiments. There is only 1 midterm in this class (~5th week) and it is worth 35%. The exams have two "sections," the first section involves short answer questions and this usually entails 1 sentence answers or even one word answers depending on the question. The second section of the exam is the "long answer" portion and this greatly focuses on being able to interpret the data presented while also being able to outline designing an experiment to test a particular idea. Overall, I greatly enjoyed MCDB 144 with Dr. Clark and I would definitely recommend this professor to any person that is seeking to take a class with a very caring and direct professor.
