The course was very light in workload and was very interesting as well. It wasn't very biology heavy, especially in the last couple weeks which focused on the ethics regarding stem cells. There were no exams, but rather there was a group project in the middle of the quarter and a final paper at the end. In the group project, we were assigned a disease that could be treated by stem cells and had to create a website, infographic, or presentation regarding it. It was not a big time commitment and was graded through peer and instructor reviews. The final paper was straightforward and simple as well, being a paper about health disparities with a 5 page limit, which was not graded harshly. Other than that, the class had weekly quizzes that usually revolved around the content discussed in discussion that week and the questions could easily be answered using the discussion slides that were posted on Canvas. They were free response and were not graded harshly. Discussions were not mandatory, but it was necessary to look at the slides for them to complete the quizzes. There were also weekly article responses starting week 3 where you had to write a 50-100 word response to one of the articles Dr. Lee posted for that week, very straightforward as well. Lectures were not mandatory as well, but were interesting and were usually recorded. Overall, I really recommend the class as a light GE, especially if you need to fulfill your Social Analysis or Life Science requirement.
