Course summary

Mixed

The course covers fundamental concepts in chemistry and biology relevant to biomedical engineering. It can be challenging for those without prior knowledge but is generally not difficult overall. The workload varies; some find it manageable, while others struggle with the vocabulary load and group projects.

Grading

Grading appears generous, as multiple students received A- or higher despite cramming before the final exam.

Workload

The course has a moderate workload, including lectures, labs, and a group project. Some find it heavy due to the need for last-minute review before the final exam.

Assessments

Assessment includes two simple labs, a small group project, and a final exam with no in-semester assignments or quizzes.

Teaching

The professor, Alan Wong, is highly regarded by some students as a big shot in biomedical sciences. However, others find the lectures difficult to follow due to the large vocabulary load.

Tips

Be prepared for a heavy workload and last-minute cramming before the final exam. Engage with the material actively during classes to better understand the content.
