Most Helpful Review
Winter 2024 - Lawson was probably my favorite professor that I have had at UCLA up to this point. He is incredibly clear even when explaining very in depth topics. This is one of the only classes I have ever taken where I actually wanted to go to lecture because it was so interesting. Like all biochem classes, the class requires a lot of memorization, but he allows a cheat sheet which makes this much easier. The negative of the cheat sheet, however, is that there are more problem solving style questions rather than just straight memorization. Overall however, if you understand the material, study, and make a good cheat sheet, the exams are very doable. I definitely would not call this class easy, but if you want to learn a lot take this class with Lawson. I also highly recommend asking him questions during class, right after class, or in office hours, because he is a very smart professor and knows a lot more than just what is on the slides.
