Fall 2021 - God I loved this class. It made materials science in bioengineering incredibly accessible. Kasko is delightful, incredibly invested in advancing underrepresented students, and extremely welcoming. I was seriously thinking of quitting bioE before she really changed my mind. Now I feel very confident in my abilities! This class is taught flipped classroom style, where you have to watch ~1 hour of lecture before coming in. Most classes are not two hours long even though the course is scheduled for that (because it goes for 2 hours for the last two weeks for group presentations). There is no weekly homework, but instead a group project at the end (not the easiest, but doable and you learn a lot), a midterm, and a final. Protip as someone who got an A on both midterm and final: review the TA review slides basically to the point of memorization, spend a lot of time on the practice test, and take careful notes in discussion. You'll be chillin. :))

Spring 2016 - Do not take. There are other BE electives out there with far less work. There was a project(proposal) in this class about drug delivery and the requirements were highly unclear. Additionally, the slides were horrible and did not prepare you for the exams. Just do yourself a favor and take a different elective.
