Great course. Content is very heavy and can be difficult but the prof helps explain it. Lectures and modules were straightforward and easy to follow. Quizzes weren’t hard and assignments were overall ok. Group project is easy if you ask your TA questions, otherwise it can be quite confusing. Tests and exams were fair and the practice test had the exam same questions as the exam which made it very easy. The course is very useful and is needed for lots of upper year bio, bio chem, and life sci courses

Pay attention to the application part of the lectures because it pops up on tests. TAKE LOTS OF NOTES

The modules for this course were tough (the module lady spoke insanely quickly), but the applied lectures were interesting. The first midterm was the most challenging, but the subsequent evaluations were more fair.

Dr. da Silva was pretty accomodating during the semester, and even dropped everyone's worst test of the 3.

Keep on top of the work and try not to cram your studying. Focus on having an understanding of the concepts covered over memorization
