Selling textbooks: Mean Genes ($7) and What is Life ($15). What is Life is not the required edition but the difference is minimal. Text me at 626-354-8144 if interested.
Definitely go to office hours! Dr. Phelan is super interesting and willing to engage with students, and my only regret with this class is not going more often.
The class itself is really interesting, but the tests can be pretty hard since a large part is free response. Lecture slides aren't posted online, so going to lecture is pretty necessary, but they're super interesting and straightforward so taking notes is pretty easy. Just review those notes and be familiar with that and you'll be fine for the midterm/final.
Phelan is AWESOME. He is such a cool/nice/smart guy. His lectures are interesting and fun. The only work in this class is reading the book really. There are weekly quizzes but they aren't a big deal because they aren't that many points, he gives you the questions the week before, and you can just get the answers from someone who took the class last quarter. On the midterm I got below the average and was predicted to get a C. For the final, he had a review where he listed 35 questions to know. He said if you know the answers to these questions you'll get an A. So i wrote out the answer to each question and got and A in the class. He says that the top 5% on the final get an A in the class no matter your grade on the midterm (which I think is what happened to me). The material is very interesting and applicable to your life. Take this class for sure.
Jay is my favorite professor so far at UCLA! He wrote me a letter of recommendation, and I really enjoyed his class. I'm taking the lab for his class right now and I'm really enjoying that too. My major is in the life science department, and I hope I'll have the chance to take another class with him. Go to office hours (they're actually fun), do the online quizzes, go to discussion, and you'll do well.
Selling all problem set (homework) answers and graded quizzes and midterm.

Great science GE for non science majors. A lot of the material is applicable to daily life. Professor Phelan lectures in an engaging way and really cares about his students. Highly recommend this class!
Selling both What is Life? 3rd Edition and Mean Genes for $90. (Including all problem sets, graded quizzes, and graded midterm) Giving it to the first offer!

Professor Phelan is super funny with his random stories that apply to the concepts we learn in class. He's fun in office hours and genuinely loves teaching this course, which is evident in the way he lectures and makes it so much more worthwhile. I learned a lot about life in this class and was even a bit sad when walking out of the final lecture. :^( Definitely recommend for a life science GE class if you're not a science person.
