well, 154 is a 5unit course with 8hours of lab every week, so do expect a lot of work!! there are 2 fairly straight forward midterm, avg was like 75%. Lab reports were painful but i think they were wayyy easier than 153L. There is not weekly quiz and you don't have to write the protocols like u have to for 153L. in many ways, 154 is easier than 153L..

so abt the prof, you really don't have any other option for professor cause she's the only one teaching. nonetheless, i like her teaching style, very straight to the point and shes willing to explain stuff numerous times as long as u ask her. good prof overall and fun class - take it and u'll understand why

dude, if u're taking this class, there is NO reason for you to read this. You're probably a biochem senior who HAS to take this class, and is dying to graduate. Whether Nakamoto is good or not at what she does, does it really matter? You still have to take this class, and it's not bad at all! Just get a good TA, find good group to work with, find previous midterms, and work hard!

In order to succeed in the class, you need to fully grasp the underlying concepts of the 2 projects. One of the exams is easy and the other is comparatively harder. The harder one takes a lot of thinking on top of your understanding in the experimental procedure, and remember, u only have 50 minutes to finish the exam! So, get enough sleep before the exam~ In general, it is not hard to get into the A range and 154 has been the most interesting lab course for me at UCLA!!
