This class is an easy A (unless you have a bad TA, in my case). Dr. Lee provides in-depth study guides for both the midterm and final and takes exam questions straight from the lecture slides. The lecture reading isn't necessary, but can be interesting. Definitely do the discussion readings. There is one group project, which is easy and is split between 20 people, so the workload is light. TAKE THE MIDTERM PAPER SERIOUSLY. I got an A on all exams and 100% for participation and I still finished the class with a B+ because I was slightly off topic on the midterm paper. The class is about 65% biology and 35% ethics/moral philosophy.

I took this class to satisfy my Social Analysis requirement. It was both interesting and easy. Definitely attend the lectures, not only because they help for the midterm and final but also because there were interesting discussions and really cool guest speakers.
A lot of points were practically given away, like clicker questions (just participation) and discussion board posts (sharing one article/post/question) a week. Apart from that, there was no weekly work. The readings weren't necessary for the class at all, but they were fun to read occasionally and might give you ideas for your paper.
The midterm and final were straight from the lecture slides. Learn that extremely carefully. It might take 2 days for the midterm and the final. The midterm was more technical while the final had a lot more ethical questions, and if you prepare well, you can get above a 100% in both (she gives extra credit). The midterm paper wasn't too bad (4 sides) and this is coming from someone who hates writing papers. There was one group presentation which wasn't a whole lot of work.
My TA (Devin Gibbs) deserves a shout-out, he was extremely passionate about the material and made discussions very interesting. He was also very prompt in answering questions.
Overall, this class has practically no work on a weekly basis but does require extensive study time right before the midterm and final. The paper and presentation should not take too long. It's also an easy A. Definitely recommend this class!

Easy A GE. Prof Lee is super nice and gives fun lectures. I learned a lot by attending the lectures, but they are also bruin casted. Participation worths a lot, breaking down to discussion, clicker questions, and a in-class presentation. The tests are straightforward, and there's also a decent amount of extra credit(like you can get 110% on the midterm and final). Nice and interesting class, strongly recommended.

This class would be a really tough GE for anyone who does not have a strong foundation in molecular biology. I would not suggest you take this course if you are looking for an easy GE, the tests are pretty much just memorization based. The professor is a great lecturer, the class has practically no homework, but you will end up just spending your time memorizing all of the intricate details of everything she goes over in lecture.
