Prof Tulipana is a great professor. He is always open to questions and gives plenty of examples to help students understand the concepts.

This was not enjoyable. It was rather easy, however.

The first half of the quarter was spent just discussing ethics. Think Kant, consequentialism, etc. It was quite dry. I also don't think he had any experience with bioethics specifically, so the connections between course concepts from the first half and medical/biological examples in the latter half were not super evident or helpful. I feel as though I left with decent ethics knowledge, but that's not why I took the class. The only time I really gleaned *bioethics* knowledge was in my discussion section.

There were two reflection papers and one midterm for this course. The midterm was quite long and took forever, but it was take-home and open book. We did not have a final due to the TA strike. (I don't know if UCLA technically allows this but Tulipana told us he couldn't think of a better alternative because he didn't want to personally grade a bunch of essay-based finals.)
