• This course consists of 3 non cumulative midterms and a small project. There is no assigned textbook for the course, so all material on tests comes directly from the slides. You should spend at least a few days studying for each midterm, but as long you properly prepare you should do just fine. The averages on the tests were all high 70s. Make sure to talk to Dr. Q. if there is any material that needs clarifying, as it will surely appear heavily on the tests. Overall, this course is quite fascinating and I highly recommend it!!

• Straightforward, make sure you get to lecture early to catch the questions he posts (they show up on the tests). Very interesting muscle physiology course, 10/10 recommended. Not recommended to cram the night before though

• Extremely interesting course. For KIN students, this courses looks at pretty much the pathological aspects of KIN 205 in detail. The course was extremely early and content heavy, but all the lectures were worth attending to. Lots of information to be written out during class, so make sure you don't miss any! Discussions and socrative with the prof was pretty informative and hilarious at times

• Class is great. interesting topics and well structured. the median for the midterms ranged in the mid 70s. there are like 5 quizzes worth 3 percent each, 5 questions and you have 30 minutes to do them anytime on select Fridays. Dr.Q claims we should be able to get perfect, but I honestly struggled with them. I dont know why, but to be fair so did the rest of the class. class average on the supposedly freebie quizzes was high 70 low 80s. I still managed to do well in the mid terms and end the course with a 90+, but be careful about those quizzes would be my advice.

• Dr. Q is a great prof with a lot of experience teaching this course, but I wouldn't recommend taking this course if you are not prepared to have to memorize a good number of proteins, enzymes, cofactors, etc. Also his test questions can be very deceiving. Unless you are interested in biochem and molecular biology, I would be cautious taking this course.
