Fall 2025 - I loved Professor Ko! She was pretty straightforward in her explanations (in my opinion) since the lectures are question-based as it's a reverse classroom course. She was really relaxed/lets you sleep and you can tell she's passionate about the material. I will say this class is mostly busy work/participation points in my opinion as every assignment does have weight even tho they're mainly completion, but that also means you can do relatively bad of the tests and be ok generally. I took AP Biology with an amazing teacher and AP Chemistry in high school, so I may be biased but I believed the class was relatively easy (but again, I did have exposure to the material prior to this course). I know some of my friends didn't do as will on the first AOL and still finished with A's in the end as there's a lot of extra practice you can do/videos online but keep in mind it's application-based questions over straight memorization.

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!!!
