這門課的Grade：Not too bad
BIEN2610 Chemical Biology for Engineers
内容和LIFS生化差别还是蛮大的，主要讲是一些分子生物的工科应用之类的东西。
我觉得这个课应该改名叫Introduction to Molecular Bioengineering
由于这个课是随着Bioengineering的新major应运而生的新课，大家可能不是很了解，我就列一下syllabus吧

讲的东西都是很introduction的level，很多东西和CENG4640重合（但是4640的Prof SUN Fei讲课讲不清楚，参考那几篇CENG1600的评价，但是SUN Fei之前的老板拿了诺奖啊）。
上课很容易听懂，1/4内容是高中学过的。Becki部分的ppt做的非常简洁而清晰，非常适合课后复习。Ni Rong的part就会放上好多东西，还有很多很confusing的case study，相对来说难理解一点。
Quiz、midterm和final都让带cheat sheet，可以把ppt所有内容全抄下来带去（虽然时间很紧张几乎没有时间看）。另外这些考试全部non-cumulative。
需要背的分子结构的部分并不是很多，所以workload并不大。每次workload集中的时候也就是quiz之前做cheat sheet了。
期中有一个小论文作业，3页A4，不难，那一天出来查查资料写一下就可以啦。
第一年的课，只有十几个人上，这种小班一般给龟就比较松啦。Overall 90分拿A（但是91就有A+……
另外说一下教授。Becki在分子生物工程（尤其是DNA、RNA方面）的学术研究很高，之前在美国和日本有过非常丰富的research经历，人也非常和善，非常棒的教授！对DNA、RNA等方面有兴趣的童鞋可以跟她做做research～
