I found that I did much worse in this class than in BIOL 373. Oftentimes, we would learn a general concept in BIOL 373, but be expected to know it in more detail in HLTH 310.
TAs mark the assignments pretty hard, too, imo.Mar 2024 · didn’t like it · 2 found this helpfulOn UW FlowRemove this
Quite easy if you take the time to actually learn and understand the content. Information was really interesting too.

This was a very content heavy course. But if you took 373 before then you should find much of the lecture, especially at the beginning, to be review. Overall, the exams were very straightforward and there weren't really any trick questions. The content was also very interesting and I found everything relatively crammable.

Course was made of 3 term tests (one during the exam period) which were noncumulative. 3 assignments as well, which were tedious but not difficult. I found the content for this course wasn't anything particularly new (especially if you've taken other GERON courses) but as long as you put in the time you should get a decent grade. The test questions were straighforward, but required a lot of memorization.

3 term tests, found there to be lots of memorization in the courses which made it difficult and then 3 assignments that were long but easy to do well in.
