The class comes off very daunting at first but Dr. Louis is very aware of its perception and makes it as fair as it can be with his tests. Lecture heavy imo and it was hard for me to stay engaged during them but the video lectures were 80% of what I needed to be successful. Section, TAs, LAs were so helpful! Not my fav biochem class but v doable.

honestly think he doesn't get enough credit for how much he does for this class. very nice man who tries to understand where we get confused and his tests are very fair because he understands most people are new to coding and less familiar with calculus. material was fairly interesting but maybe not for everyone

108C seems irrelevant to biology and the biochemistry series. Prof makes everything math based and none of this seems to apply to real life. Posts online lectures in addition to in person lectures doubling the time commitment per week. Too much work and none of the material is applicable to biochemistry - maybe to bioinformatics.

Very good professor with great lectures and reasonable homeworks. Our midterm was quite difficult but rereading lecture notes helps a lot.

Good professor, great environment in the class. But his teaching is likely to be an info seminar than a lecture. So, if u really want to learn something, I recommend you utilize office hours to talk with him. He's so EZ to contact! And u can use the information from OCW as ur REAL lecture notes if you want both an A grade and a good environment.

Always helpful, tries to make you understand.
