Such a great course! I thought it was fun and Dr. Williams does an amazing job delivering the content both with her recordings and her in person classes. The grading was fair and it was super helpful when it came to understanding aging from the very beginning. This was a class i looked forward to a lot during this term.

This is one of the best courses to take as a science student! If you are thinking about the medical field I cannot stress this more; please take this course. Dr. Williams is an excellent teacher and provides the content in a very manageable and sensible way. Weightings of the marks were also distributed nicely across module tests and fair assignments.

Very interesting course with a ton of important topics. The main grading components were 3 20%, non-cumulative midterms, and 3 10% assignments. The midterms weren't trying to trick you and as long as you put effort into studying you can do very well. The assignments took a good amount of time to do properly but if you take your time and do them well you can easily get very high grades on these. Finished with a 95.

Taken W25, was three 20% non-cumulative tests (last test was during exam period for some reason), three 10% assignments, a 5% iClicker participation and a 5% in-class worksheet thing. Overall very straightforward, having taken BIOL303 the first half was almost entirely review. Test questions are never trying to trick you and as long as you know your stuff you will do great. Finished with a 97

KIN 310 or KIN 406?? 1 point, 6 comments
u/basilsucks: “KIN310: Development, Aging and Health VS. KIN406: Physiology of Muscle Aging and Disease Any insight on either would help! Im not sure which one to take but they seem similar? There's also BIOL355 (Bio of Human Aging) but I've heard that's no fun. …”
u/tblzxx: “Just finished KIN 310 this past semester. Very easy and interesting course. Had 3 assignments and 3 exams (non-cumulative). I've heard KIN 406 is harder but not too sure.”
