Dr. Clark is a very good professor and you could tell he cares about his students. I took this class with only LS7A under my belt (had no previous science experience before) and managed to get an A, but I did work for it. I really did not know anything about research coming into this class (I am a freshman) and this really gave me insight on what biomedical research is about. After this class, I was able to decide if I really wanted to pursue biomed research and I think I rather not. So if you don't know if you would like to pursue biomed research, take this class to dip your toes. The minor is really meant for students who are passionate about it (not just to make yourself look good for med school or anything like that), and it is super highly competitive to get in. Even though I may not pursue biomed research, I am glad I took this class.

Dr. Clark is simply the best. Always puts students first. He is very understanding and kind and always willing to help and dedicate time to students. He truly wants to see everyone learn and do well. Probably the best instructor/ advisor at UCLA.
