My review: Super awesome class - took this as an undergrad and it really dives into the nitty-gritty of metabolism that is left to being too intricate in exercise physiology. With that said, having taken Orgo and microbiology helped and the first part of this class is biochem heavy (think 10 steps and the mitochondria no longer just being the powerhouse of the cell, but rather the site of ATP synthesis for oxidation). Malin is super passionate and does a lot more chalk board in this class, which helps a ton. He encourages dialogue and is always open to questions and diving in different directions. 10/10 recommend

What you need to know: 3 tests (including final, which is cumulative) - 2 review papers totalling 350 points (100 for each test and 25 for each review) -- the second test was our hardest and lowest average, and most are short answer questions with a few tricky multiple choice -- you really have to know your stuff or you will get time capped by the tests since it's short answer and you want to nail every point, especially since Malin usually asks in ambiguous ways. Nonetheless, this class is great and you should take it.
