BME 4641

Materials and lectures are hard to follow. Homeworks can be tough since he doesn't teach everything required (being EE helps a lot), but the tests are pretty easy.

Thought this class would be a walk in the park after taking Kims Electronics Lab and Physiology classes.. Had an A average until the final.. bombed it. watch out for that final.. study more than 3 hours.

Definitely one of the best BME electives. Yong Kim is hilarious and literally knows everything about the field of bioelectricity. He gives a lot of "discretionary points" to boost everyone's grades, and I'm pretty sure that about 75% of the class gets some sort of A. I didn't really learn a whole lot and I still have no idea how to do circuit analysis, but I did well in the class and loved listening to Dr. Kim talk about all the important research that he and his friends do. Take this class. You will not regret it.

The professor is hard to pay attention to in class, as he goes over each topic numerous times and has a rather sleep-inducing voice. But the material is interesting and for the most part easy. The professor is also fairly generous with grading, so as long as you pay attention and study before tests and do the problem sets this class isn't hard.

Dr. Kim is a BOSS!!! The class is pretty easy. Most people do really well on the first test. The Hodgkin Huxley model project took a lot of time. The grading is very fair and there is homework about once a week. Dr. Kim definitely knows what he's talking about.

Prof. Kim is the man. This course is very interesting and not too difficult. He has tons of different stories about all of the cool research he has done. Not really great at answering questions in class, but he's genuinely excited about teaching you the material.

I am an EE, and I did not need to take any BME classes to do well in this class. Homework due maybe every other week, with a midterm and a final. There were two group projects worth a large portion of the grade, but only one was time consuming. Pay attention during lecture and understand the homework and you'll be fine.

Dr. Kim loves teaching this course, and you can tell. It's awesome how excited he is about bioelectricity. Take this course if you want to learn more about real-world applications of bioelectricity, like cardiac pacemakers, defibrillators, EMG, ECG, EEG, etc. A word of advice: start early on the Hodgkin-Huxley project.
