The CPR assignments are absolute trash. You basically have to write a scientific paper based on hypothetical data and arguments. Everything is busy work, and I learned nothing new. You learn literally everything else in this class from your LS lectures and upper division classes. The TAs don't let you leave early, and my TA spent way too much time talking about stuff that everyone already knew.

This class was the easiest class I have taken at UCLA. It is such a great class. The lectures are really boring, and sometimes the labs are too, but it's an easy grade. I found the writing assistants/TAs the most helpful. I thought that some of the directions are hard to understand, but there are online office hours that are helpful to go to.

Honestly, I have never been a fan of the lifescience department, especially with classes that go with the lifescience 7 series. There is always a ton of work, and a ton extra stuff you have to do that requires a lot of time commitment. However, compared to the last 3 quarters this class was extremely doable. Professor Pfluegl is so nice and his lectures are right to the point, with many centered around the writing assignments which is the bulk of the work in the class aside from the labs and the final exam. The final exam was probably the hardest part of this class, but because there are multiple parts and chances for revision it wasn't awful, just time consuming and sometimes tedious. The labs take a lot of time and you usually have to complete a lab worksheet as a group which I wasn't a fan of, but other than that the writing assignments are not as difficult or time consuming as I thought and are fairly easy to do well on if you follow the rubric exactly.
