This hands-on research course will integrate investigation of diverse biological phenomena in the lab with quantitative analysis of hypotheses related to the function of living systems. Analysis across different length scales and levels of complexity invokes a synergistic combination of tool building, quantitative data acquisition, complementary theoretical model building. Students will work in subgroups on modules developed by different BMSE faculty to illustrate current research topic in Quantitative Biology.

Prerequisites: For first-year BMSE graduate students only. Grad students from other programs will be considered but they should seek for the approval of the teaching coordinators. Number of participants will be limited to 12 or the number of first-year BMSE students, whichever is smaller.

PHY5L . Fygenson D K 1 Year, 1 Month Ago

Never thought i would not receive an A for a lab class. Everything was graded at the end and had extremely vague instructions. Gotten points knocked off for a bad conclusion. even though it told me to summarize. By the time I knew what type of lab report she wanted, the labs were all done. Someone should honestly fire this atrocity of a professor.

minimal instructions, yet maximum scrutiny when it comes grading. horrible.

Typical physics class, but Dogic is honestly a pretty good lecturer. As long as you study and show up, understand concepts like any other class, you will do well. Also do the homework, questions are literally gonna be on the test. Lecture examples show up on tests. It easier if you like physics XD.

Awful class. Unclear grading, tons of work for 2 units

I cannot emphasize how horrible this professor is as a person and an instructor. The course is beyond poorly designed. The lab "guides" are horrendously bad at elucidating what is actually happening in the thing in front of you. She has the empathetic capacity of a single RNA strand. However, you will for sure learn how to do a linear fitting.

A good professor that has insightful answers to any question thrown at them. Allows for a fluid flow of lecture material and helps bring topic points together. Class engagement is friendly, and students walk away ready to take homework while learning more from the problems.
