Bennoun prepares you really well for the exams and the homework isn't overwhelmingly hard

Easy A, but the coding labs can be really annoying so work with friends. Go to office hours! Don’t bother reading the textbook it’s pointless. Bennoun is so much better than Shevtov DO NOT TAKE SHEVTSOV!!!

The content was a little weird, but the class was pretty easy.

Bennoun was definitely the best of the lecturers in my opinion. He explains things relatively well, sometimes going a bit fast. The textbook doesn't really help, the slides and lecture will be the main source of info. The coding wasn't too bad in my opinion, but it really depends on how helpful your TA is. A bit of calc knowledge also is helpful, but I never took calc and still did fine.

Though this class was challenging at times, it was very interesting and engaging. Professor Bennoun is a great lecturer and the material was presented well.

I liked his interactive lectures and I received the grade I expected. However, the math does not make sense at times.

The slideshows are really helpful and you can look back at it to re-learn matieral.

People I talked to who took it in the past said it was alright... It didn't feel alright during the first few weeks but eventually you get the hang of it. It just takes some time getting used to. It seems subjective sometimes, because you're applying math to biology. Overall, not my favorite class but it's honestly not that bad. Ask for help if you need it, that's the best thing you can do for yourself.

Bennoun was a great lecturer d he was very organized. Practice midterms and finals that he posted were very helpful. Coding was the most difficult part, but still fairly manageable for someone with no previous coding experience.

The lectures had all the information you needed to pass the tests. However, the math in the LS30 series is strange so you definitely need to spend some time with the information that you get from the lecture before you actually start to understand that. That being said, the actual math was very easy, just the conceptuality that will get to you.
