Most Helpful Review
Spring 2024 - This class was fairly easy and interesting for those who'd like a more nitty-gritty look omics and systems biology. Prof. Xiao and the TAs care a lot about the students and provided study guides, plenty of review sessions, and recorded lectures for those unable to attend. Participation was a bit sad after the first week, which is why coming to class and getting your name known will set you up for a grade bump if you need it. The midterm seemed fair and honestly quite easy if you review just the lecture & discussion material, plus in my opinion the pace of the class was fairly reasonable. Past reviews seem to indicate many mandatory readings, but I only recall three this quarter -- all of which were fairly interesting as a CaSB major. Breakdown: Class Participation - 10% Lit. Review / Presentation - 25% Student (Proteomic) Lecture Feedback - 5% Midterm - 30% Final - 30%
