Winter 2025 - deeds is the absolute best 30a teacher!!! i unfortunately had to retake 30a as i received a D fall quarter and previously had bennoun which was a nightmare of its own, but deeds' energy and urge to help any and everyone really made this class honestly enjoyable. workload is extremely manageable, midterm allows for corrections up to 1/2 points, homework is graded on completeness. take this class with deeds!!

Fall 2024 - I highly recommend this class to all Computational Biology major. Not only is it easy, but I genuinely learned information beyond what is covered in a textbook. The class is designed by Prof Deeds and Hoffman based on their experience and research in the field. The class consists of weekly homework assignments (9 total with the lowest one dropped) worth 75% of the grade, attendance worth 10% of the grade, and a final project (2-3 page paper + 4 figures) worth 15% of the grade. The grading is VERY easy; even if you don't pay attention in class, the homework takes around 1-2 hours (3 hours max) with little to no coding. The TAs in the class are also very helpful with debugging and the final project. We were also allowed to work in groups for the final project, but everyone had to submit their individual paper. As the grade distribution indicates, this class is a VERY easy A. Overall, I'd highly recommend this class.
