Fall 2019 - **SELLING COURSE STUDY GUIDE FOR $30** **EMAIL - uclanotes23@gmail.com - IF INTERESTED** Hooshmand is probably the most passionate professor I've met who has a deep and vested interest in her study of stem cells. Here are some key points. 1. Show up to lectures. Since there is no textbook for this class, all test questions come directly from lecture slides. Though she posts her slides online, it is mostly pictures and diagrams. 2. There is NO homework, labs, or projects. 3. There are only 3 quizzes, a midterm, and final. Mix between multiple choice and short answer. 4. Show up to discussion. You get participation points for being active in discussion.
