The best parts of this course were the interesting subject material, good lectures, and labs. The negative aspects of the course were the very difficult exams and complex math that was involved in a lot of the assignments. Some students also said that the lectures were too similar to the textbook and that there were not enough examples. Students suggested using a better textbook and giving out practice exams or more practice problems to study. Students also wished the class had covered more practical applications. Students considering this course should expect a difficult course that is dependent on knowing MATLAB. Students said that overall this is a difficult class, but the textbook is a great resource.

Students praised the way the course material for this class was delivered by the instructor in a clear and straightforward way. They found that the biggest drawback of the class was the three-hour-long time allotment for classes. Some students thought the course could be improved if sessions were divided up over multiple days. Students also felt the course could benefit if more practice problems were reviewed before exams. People considering taking this class should have some background knowledge of math, biology and biochemistry, students said.
