Most Helpful Review
One of the most interesting and best classes here at UCLA. The class is easy, ALTHOUGH it is IS graded like a GE. Meaning stupid attendance, weekly assignments, etc. Very good class though, and easy midterms and finals with lots of extra credit. If you were looking for a GE that won't bore you to death, here it is. Take it.

MCDB 138 W14 ***DOES NOT GRADE ON A CURVE*** Professor Lee shows a lot of enthusiasm for the subject and has a lot of knowledge as well. She goes over a lot of classic/old school experiments in the course and at some point midway through the course the experiments get pretty repetitive (read: EXTREMELY repetitive). Exams are all free response questions. Most are "design an experiment" and only a couple are straight up recall. My advice is to study HOW to set up experiments for different concepts more so than studying the details of the concepts. I think people understood this since the average for the first exam was 77% and the average for the second exam was 91%. There is no curve for this class (or any of her classes apparently). With that being said, there are a lot of extra credit points given during the exams. A lot of extra credit. Overall, great professor. I absolutely bombed the first exam and averaged 95% on the next two exams. After the first exam, I basically decided to focus on experiments of each concept rather than the concept itself. Do this for all three exams and you will be fine.
