I liked the professor, he is very kind and helpful and you can tell he cares about the subject. For tests, there are 3 tests which are all equally weighted and each of them only test one module (so there is no cumulative final). The material can be dense at times and there are a lot of new terms to learn but overall it isn't too difficult, especially if you have some background knowledge (I took AP Psych in high school and a lot of the biology information was covered in this class). The lectures weren't super engaging but they were easy to follow and he did crack some jokes. For homework, there were 4 homework assignments. They are basically just labeled coloring which was easy but time consuming as each one was very detailed. This isn't a super easy GE but overall I thought it was ok.

A relatively easy class to get a B in, no cramming required since all three tests are weighted equally. You get a cheat sheet for the exams which is nice. Lectures were really boring but the best way to learn the material. I have basically no background in science but I got a B with minimal effort. Would recommend for a science GE.

I found this class challenging as it seemed most of it was very coding heavy which was not my strength. I felt as if the coding was not taught in a proper way to be giving such difficult labs. There was not much practice problems for exams so it was difficult to study for them. The midterm was graded harshly which made me get a B and the final was really difficult and not what I expected compared to the practice problems given. Overall, unless you are really interested in the content, I would not really recommend this class as I found it to be a way more difficult version of LS30A and LS30B content. I think the lack of practice is what contributed to my thoughts about this.

Everything on the tests are stuff that the Professor talks about in class. Sometimes the exam questions can be a little tricky because he puts questions in there purposely to trick you, but if you read closely then you will do well (although I did second guess myself a lot on some of the multiple choice questions, but the free response were really simple, such as knowing neurological diseases).

I was hesitant to take this class, but it turned out to be a pretty easy A. I definitely recommend taking this class as the professor is fair and tries his best to be funny at times too. The class is straightforward and only has four multiple choice tests that cover material straight from the lecture slides.
