BIOL 5070

Peri is great. He really knows his stuff and if you put in the effort you will gain a lot from this class. The labs typically run longer than the allotted time and it's annoying at times when he schedules your one-on-one or poster presentation at odd times in the week, but other than that it's a must-take for anyone interested in microscopy.

Dr. Peri is a man who knows his stuff. He's a leader in the field of FRET and you really can't find much better. The lecture material is rather dry in the beginning and the lectures are long, but the labs are a nice change of pace. Homework doesnt take long, exams are multiple choice. End of semester project is on your own topic and you get to use the microscopes for free. The toughie is the one on one final exam but as long as you've paid attention, you will be just fine.

Great class if you are interested in imaging. The final project was a bit difficult to complete and the class is still in flux in terms of content. However, Periassamy is still one of the best imaging guys out there and the class is worth at least $1500(the price of his microscopy workshop which covers similar content)
