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. :))

Dr. Kasko runs an interesting class. There is one midterm and one final, plus a group project which runs for the entire quarter and has several components. Your group (3-5 people) gives two initial presentations plus a final presentation as well as a short written report. The group project is essentially theorizing a novel implant or some sort of biomaterial that can be used to solve a current clinical problem. Depending on your group members (you choose your group), this can be a really fascinating project (or really difficult). Lectures are fairly interesting, some days they get boring but I generally liked the material. It starts out with materials science basics, moves into common materials used as implants and their properties/uses, and finishes on the body's reaction to implants. There are no homework assignments to key you in to what she thinks is important, so that made it quite difficult to study for tests but pretty easy/minimal workload when it's not time for a midterm or final.
Basically, if you're interested in the implants side of materials science, this is a great class to take. Nothing is handed to you, so you better have good study skills, but it's quite interesting and I would recommend it.
