Writing is key to success in graduate school and in many careers in science, but there are aspects of it that people can struggle with (e.g., clearly communicating complex ideas, writing regularly, writing for general audiences, etc.). In this course, students will (i) learn about and discuss the mechanics of writing academic papers, (ii) receive feedback on their writing and learn to provide constructive feedback to others, and (iii) engage in reading and discussion about time management, handling rejection, and other challenges that academic writers may face.

Amazing professor, who genuinely cares for his students and takes the time to get to know everyone! The class consisted of 5 assignments, that were based on lecture/lab material. I would highly recommend taking this class.

Very chill class, i found the lectures/content a bit boring but in terms of helping the class and being accessible to students this was a very good class

Prof Woo is awesome, this is a clearcut class that total beginners in stats and programming in R will have a clear path to success in. No tests or quizzes, just 5 analysis assignments that are very similar to the lab code. Don't miss easy points with participation, weekly quizzes, and the teaching assessments. Very approachable for any questions.

i havent had any coding experience but this class def helped me understand how to code. it consists of 5 major assignments for ur grade along with attendance and some surveys with your grade. pretty low stress level class as long as you go to lab and lecture you go this!

5 major assignments make up your grade but this professor is amazing. He genuinely cares for his students and wants everyone to succeed. It's easy to get behind because there is no weekly homework or textbook but put effort into the assignments and you will be good. Love Brandon!
