This class with Jarrett is terrible. Easy, but terrible. For starters, she is an awful lecturer. She goes through her lecture slides in an extremely robotic manner that has no rhyme or reason. She rarely explains things on her slides, it's kinda like she has a script she just goes through. One particular thing that drove me crazy was her use of the same 3 phrases about 40 times in a 50 minute lecture. It really just shows that she doesn't really know what she's doing when it comes to lecturing. Honestly, the only way I managed to get good grades on the exams was by attending the remote lecture, then rewatching the recorded lecture the same day and taking notes on what she says WORD FOR WORD. But if the exams weren't open note I wouldn't have done nearly so well. That being said, she does supply a lot of EC so you could get by with B's on all the exams and still get an A. It's an easy class, but it's frustrating. Maybe try another professor if you're an actual biochem major.

If you can take this class with a different professor, I would urge you to do so. While its definitely not the worse class I've ever taken, there is most certainly a lot of room for improvement.
Her lectures are often short, and she mainly reads off of the slides. The notes that she does jot down are typically illegible, so make sure you are listening closely to catch her saying what she is writing. You will want to write down pretty much any extra info she says. The weekly worksheets are sometimes helpful for preparing for her exams, however, the lecture slides and your notes are definitely what you want to be studying.
Her exams are hard. Start studying a week in advance so it does not snowball because there is so much content to know. The way she words the questions on her exams is often confusing, so read carefully and take advantage of her question asking time that she gives on exam day.
She also does not respond to emails, so if you need to ask a question about grades or content, go to office hours.

I LOVE THIS PROFESSOR. She is so kind.

You do not need ochem to take this class. Yes its a prereq but if you did not do so well in ochem wont mean youll do bad in this class. Thee do not correlate at all.

The class is 3 exams that it. 2 midterms and one final. 400 points total 100 for each midterm and 200 for the final. EVERY thing she says can be on the exams, but I tell you that the exams are really fair. Like if you just pay attention and take notes on the slides you will do very well on the exams.

PLEASE TAKE HER!!
