Fall 2025 - As someone who never took an AP science class in high school…this class was rough for me. In my opinion, the class work was manageable, I enjoyed the topics I was learning and I even understood the content fully. However, the intensity of the tests truly made me lose all hope. I did enjoy having a pod to participate in lectures, complete group tests with and sit with in discussion, which overall helped my success in this course. However, despite this, the exams involved intense critical thinking and I felt as though we should have been taught how to approach the questions prior to taking the exams. Yes, we do practice exams every week (PALS) but even before the first one, we were never taught how to approach questions. Professor Julie is very nice and willing to help and my TA, Elena, was very good as well.

Fall 2023 - Dr. Ko is in my top 2 most amazing professors I've taken at UCLA, she is so sweet and her lectures are organized so logically and beautifully. I never walked out of lecture confused because she's just so good at explaining. The grading and midterms were also super reasonable. I love her!!!
