BIOL 3250

love kawasaki. although lecture can be slow, the material he provides is very interesting and his tests aren't confusing at all. if you know the vocab and simple concepts, you WILL get an A (as opposed to a lot of biol classes in which even know all the material might land you a b+ if you're not a good test taker). his tests only had 2 answer choices, and he also dropped the lowest exam for us, but also this may just be a covid only thing. i learned a ton of fascinating things in this class, and it's not too bad difficulty wise. definitely recommend for that biol requirement

Super easy and interesting class to take if you need a bio elective! Grades were based on the top 4 scores of 5 exams, so if you did well on the first four you could skip the last. Exams were multiple choice and were pretty straightforward from lecture slides, but I found the textbook really useful for clarify things that were confusing. Lectures are kind of slow but Kawasaki is so sweet and you can tell he really loves teaching this subject! He records lecture but you only were able to view the recording if you emailed the TA. If you read the textbook or just go to class/use the slides to study it’s an easy A.

I took this an an elective for the Interdisciplinary Neuroscience Major and it was a doable course. The material is not very hard and I would consider this one of the easier bio courses to take. The only thing I did not enjoy was how many exams there were. It was 4 midterms and a final with 1 drop but you can't drop the final. At some point it was like we had midterms every two weeks which was a little hard to keep up with during the busy midterm season. But overall the questions are not too hard and you can get what you need from the slides. Lectures are recorded but you have to email the TA to get access. #tCFS25
