I TOOK HIM FOR LIFE SCIENCE 15. (SO IGNORE THE MCDB 89, I JUST HAD TO PICK ONE AND LS15 WASNT ON THERE)
EVERYONE LOVES HIM. HIS PERSONALITY IS BOMB! BUT NO THAT MIDTERM OR FINAL. THERE ARE ALOTTA SHORT ANSWERS SO DON'T JUST TRY TO MEMORIZE STUFF. KNOW CONCEPTS AND THEN THE MULTIPLE CHOICE SHUD COME EASILY. I DID MEDIOCRE IN HIS CLASS (C+) BUT I'M SURE THATS A MISTAKE SO HE'LL BE SEEING ME NEXT YEAR :) BUT YEA HE'S EASY BUT HIS FINAL IS HARD. BUT IF YOU ACE THE FINAL YOU AUTOMATICALLY GET AN A N THE CLASS REGARDLESS OF OTHER GRADES

- Life Science 15 -
Best professor at UCLA.
He is so enthusiastic about the material and really knows how to teach it.
His book "Mean Genes" is great! Not only do you learn about science and fulfill a requirement, but his teachings are applied to REAL LIFE. He is amazing and taught me so much. Loved it.
The textbook was great too ("What is Life?"), but it's identical to lectures so I'd recommend you go to lectures and listen rather than read.
Very easy class and highly enjoyable.
HIGHLY recommended teacher! :)
