Easiest biology course at UCLA--TAKE THIS CLASS for an easy A+** (**side note: I did take this during the quarantine quarter so it might have been a tad bit easier, but I don't see how the in-class version would be that much harder). If you haven't taken EEBIO 162, don't worry because this lab doesn't require much plant physiology/anatomy knowledge to do the assignments since the TA basically teaches you all that you need to know. We have a week to complete our assignments (2 assignments = 1 case study + 1 FUNanatomy) which usually take 6-7 hours to complete with breaks.

Class breakdown of online version:

Every week there is a case study (consisting of 4-10 questions) that are either based on a scientific paper or a topic (e.g., biofuels, or GMOs). This is super easy because the TA goes over the case study (basically discusses the answers) and we get a week to complete it. It usually takes me 6 hours to complete with breaks. Also, there is a FUNanatomy (short for FUNdamental Anatomy) which requires drawing and labeling a part of a plant (the slide at 1000x magnification is given). This is also really easy since the TA discusses the slide and the parts we should label during the recorded lecture. We are graded on effort and accuracy and NOT drawing ability.

If Alec Baird is TAing for this course, take this class with him! He's thorough and emails you each week reminding us of deadlines. He also replies really quickly to emails and explains concepts without being patronizing. Super understanding!

Selling pdf versions of past lab reports, quizzes and Funanatomy for EEB 162L, including the recent spring quarter 2017 ones. I received an A+ for this class. They were pretty helpful for me this past quarter, based off overhearing other classmates working on their lab assignments until 4 AM the day it was due. Email me at pandabruin54@gmail.com.

Fun, easy class!
