Winter 2025 - I LOVE ERIC DEEDS! Professor Deeds was definitely my favorite and most memorable professor during my first year. He would always crack random jokes and make lectures really engaging and fun. He would also make an effort to remember as many names as possible during office hours/review sessions and refer to students by their names. When I took the class, he provided iClicker answers after lectures and a bunch of practice questions, which I found useful for preparing for exams. I also felt the exams were pretty fair and very straightforward. Awesome professor--would highly recommend taking him for LS 30A!!!

Fall 2024 - I highly recommend this class to all Computational Biology major. Not only is it easy, but I genuinely learned information beyond what is covered in a textbook. The class is designed by Prof Deeds and Hoffman based on their experience and research in the field. The class consists of weekly homework assignments (9 total with the lowest one dropped) worth 75% of the grade, attendance worth 10% of the grade, and a final project (2-3 page paper + 4 figures) worth 15% of the grade. The grading is VERY easy; even if you don't pay attention in class, the homework takes around 1-2 hours (3 hours max) with little to no coding. The TAs in the class are also very helpful with debugging and the final project. We were also allowed to work in groups for the final project, but everyone had to submit their individual paper. As the grade distribution indicates, this class is a VERY easy A. Overall, I'd highly recommend this class.
