Stu was the best professor out of the three. He explained content thoroughly and the first midterm reflected exactly what was on the practice exam and stressed topics in class. Pay attention to the diagrams concerning NADH, ATP, glycolysis, etc. (how much ATP is made from what). Also, he sparked my Fleetwood Mac obsession!!! Cool and super smart!

For me Feinstein's Biochemistry section of MCDB1A was the easiest to understand out of the three. He did a really good job at explaining the topics and if you studied well, rewatched the lectures, and did the practice exam then his exam and his portion of the final were a majority questions you've reviewed and already seen. Great Professor.

He was ok, he wasn't AMAZING but he wasn't the worst either. A lot of his portion of 1A is about memorization. He provided a practice but it was riddled with errors. Tbh I think if you just cram everything he's said in lecture into your head somehow, you'll be fine

He is a friendly and easygoing professor with an aptitude for teaching. He made learning basic biochemistry as simple as possible. I appreciate the slides complementing his lectures. His quizzes were fair too. The rest of doing well is knowing how to study and take exams, which is the most challenging part of this class.

Really good lecturer and made class interesting. His section of class (biochem) was by far the easiest and he explains all the concepts really well. The midterm was straightforward and super similar to the practice tests. Watching the CLAS videos really helps! Textbook isn't necessary but can help if you want an additional resource.

Feinstein taught this class great, he clearly has passion and an incredible understanding of the material. The TAs werent the most helpful and couldn't answer questions clearly. Exams are 80% of the grade, quizzes are 20%. Exams are graded strictly but lowest gets dropped, understand the experiments inside and out. Curve was steep, OH is helpful.
