The best aspects of the course included restricting non-engineers from enrol ment, the manageable workload, and the accessibility of the professors. Students appreciated the frequent quizzes and assignments that encouraged them to stay on top of the work. Many students reported that exams tested memorization rather than an understanding of the material, and that they were too short given their impact on final grades. Suggestions for improvement included providing more detailed and organized lecture notes, and amending the exams to make them longer and more clearly worded. Prospective engineering students should consider this class as a good alternative to the biology department’s course.
