REVIEW FOR LS 3: Do not take him unless you want him to ruin your GPA. I am usually great at life science because I have good short-term memory, but I couldn't do it for this one. His final was extremely hard and was worth 60% of your grade which is complete bs. I didn't do so well on it because of how lengthy and wordy it was. I knew the material, but I did not know how to take that test. I ended up with a grade that I am extremely disappointed in. He is a good person, but no. His class was not fair at all.

Spring 2022 - For this class, attending lecture was not mandatory while attending lab was mandatory. The material covered in lecture was not important and I stopped watching the recordings after a week into the quarter. The only time I had to go to lecture was when we did our presentations (super easy). I didn’t like how we had to go to lab because it felt like everything we talked about (using GenSAS) could’ve been a step-by-step guide sent over email. Lab sessions were taught by TAs, so I barely saw the professor during the quarter. Go to the TA office hours to get an idea of what they want in your presentation and final paper because they do all the grading for the class.
