Great class! I would definitely recommend everyone to have it. It is challenging, but it's so worth it.

Prof. Cvrkel is funny and knowledgeable and Jessica the TA is literally the BEST TA ever- she compliments the study of the class so well.

If you are willing to commit and want to walk away with some solid knowledge, take the class.

I make it A- in the end and I am not regretting taking the class.

Selling the 2015 Fall edition of coursereader for MCDB 60.

Dr.Cvrkel is wonderful and her lectures are fantastic.
The content itself, as well as what is expected for exams/paper, can be pretty difficult to understand. However, if you do not take advantage of the multitude of office hours with the TAs you would be doing yourself a disservice. The TAs and Sophie, the undergraduate assistant(?), were super helpful and if I had not gone to office hours I would have been so lost.
You should also make sure to practice argumentation from the beginning as this becomes key for the exams and your paper.

Quarter: Fall 2015
Grade: B+

The class is not curved, so it makes it very hard to get an A or even an A-. Don't take this class if you are just looking for an easy GE. I got a B- (first midterm), A- (second midterm), A (paper), and B (final) and ended up with a B+. It is a very interesting class, but I would not recommend it unless you're premed and want to know more about the ethics involved with stem cell research (I'm an EE major). Selling the course reader and stem cell book from MCDB 50 Fall 2015 for $15 (I'll also throw in some extra review notes if you want). (text me at **********)

My second time taking class with Dr. C and I recommend her if you are up for challenges. I like 60 better, may cuz I'm a math major and have no clue about biology. But still, politics, biology and ethics combined is just so cool. You can never go wrong.

Selling brand-new coursereader and used Slack book (in good condition and with useful notations). Both required by the class.

I took this course in Fall 2013, my first quarter in UCLA. This is the hardest course I've ever taken, although not the one I got the worst grade. The exams and the paper are hard, since you can't just memorize and you have to go far beyond what you've been taught and sometimes challenge your cherished beliefs. This course really helped a lot for critical thinking and greatly influenced my style of argument. However, there's one thing that I don't really like about the professor, is that she's a bit arrogant and makes fun of people who get wrong.

Selling the Course reader. It is brand new, I had to drop the course. Selling for $25 (Originally $35).

I can also sell the "Stem Cells" by Slack for $5. It has some high lights in the beginning. Otherwise in a great condition.

I've taken Cvrkel for MCDB 50 and 60 and I can hands down say she is my favorite professor to tread UCLA ground. This won't be your easy peasy A class but it will be the only class at UCLA where you retain useful information. This class completely changed my outlook on certain topics in life (for the better). It is not absurdly difficult! It is the type of class that makes you enjoy arguing and debating topics. That's how you learn.
