BME 3310

Saucerman is a little uptight, but he's a good teacher.

This class wasn't bad at all, initially anyways. But then the average was too high so the homeworks got ridiculous and the final was the devil incarnate. All in all, a horrible experience and Saucerman comes off as a d-bag. It's probably useful if you're into systems and EE stuff, but otherwise, worthless.

For a first-time professor, Saucerman wasn't bad. The average was ridiculously high, so the later, more difficult homeworks and final exam were an effort to drop the average to something below an A-. He covers stuff like convolution, Laplace, and Fourier transforms in a more qualitative manner which makes the material a bit easier.

The project wasn't bad, provided you pick a reasonable system to model. Modeling some complex hormonal pathway that we barely scratched the surface of in BIOM 202 with 5 different inputs is nuts.

Saucerman is mild and willing to wait inordinate amounts of time for class participation. Homework isn't too bad, but tests are hard. Group projects don't begin until late in the semester, but involve hours of research and collaboration.

Saucerman is very good at making the topics seem simple while the book makes them complex. Homeworks were hard but the tests were fair. Projects were a ridiculous amount of work if you did them correctly but the majority of people didn't and still got average grades. So don't stress out on the project because he's looking for effort, not quality, unlike the rest of the class work.

Easy class if you're good at math. The only terrible part is the MATLAB stuff.

This class is definitely one of the more labor-intensive biomed classes. Homework sets can take a long time and are much trickier than the in-class examples. Professor Saucerman is very prepared for lecture, but sometimes can be a bit dry. After asking a question, he is willing to wait in a painfully silent room for several minutes before speaking. The tests were fair and considerably easier than the homework sets.

The worse class in BME

Great class but you definitely need to put the time in on homework and the final project early on.

Class is hard but fun and very interesting.
