Spring 2020 - Mitra Hooshmand is an absolute GOAT. She is incredible knowledgeable, with engaging lectures that cover everything one needs to know about stem cell biology and policy. Although I am not a STEM major at all and was worried about learning all the biology, the science behind stem cells was actually the most fascinating part of the course for me. While she didn't cover as much of U.S. stem cell policy and ethics, she did an incredible job structuring the course, making the content easy to understand for non-STEM students, and getting us to critically think about stem cells. The tests do require studying and really good understanding of the material. I would absolutely recommend this class. (note: this class is definitely geared towards people without a background in stem cells, so it probably won't be as interesting for people that already know a lot) Grade breakdown: 5.5% - section participation 22% - homework (super short and easy, basically graded on completion) 13.5% - paper (kinda long tbh but not that hard) 11% - 2 short quizzes 32% - final

Fall 2019 - **SELLING COURSE STUDY GUIDE FOR $30** **EMAIL - ************* - IF INTERESTED** Hooshmand is probably the most passionate professor I've met who has a deep and vested interest in her study of stem cells. Here are some key points. 1. Show up to lectures. Since there is no textbook for this class, all test questions come directly from lecture slides. Though she posts her slides online, it is mostly pictures and diagrams. 2. There is NO homework, labs, or projects. 3. There are only 3 quizzes, a midterm, and final. Mix between multiple choice and short answer. 4. Show up to discussion. You get participation points for being active in discussion.
