    Quarter Taken: Fall 2023 In-Person
    Grade: A

    Its just a seminar once a week with a feedback form due every wednesday -- pretty chill class overall

    Quarter Taken: Fall 2023 In-Person
    Grade: P

    The class mainly involved guest lectures to which you had to write a critique for each one every week. To pass, you would need to do at least 8 of the 10 critiques.

    Quarter Taken: Fall 2023 In-Person
    Grade: P

    The class exposes students to the different research going on around UCLA specifically in the computational biology field. Assignments were just a critique of the lectures on google forms.
