I liked Dr. Panofsky. He was one of three professors who taught during the fall quarter, and focused on sociological concepts of biotechnology. His slides were pretty clear and were posted which was helpful for review. The class had two exams which were each worth 20% of the final grade, and the final didn't include topics from before the midterm so it was extremely manageable. The TAs provided study guides that were very similar to the actual tests. 15% of the final grade was based on an essay and a short speech that you present in your discussion session about GMOs, and the rest of the grade was from participation in discussion, lecture attendance, and annotations on the readings. The workload was pretty light, except that before each class you had to read 2-3 articles and write a couple comments (just graded for completion). I definitely recommend this cluster! It was really interesting, not too difficult, and balanced between STEM and humanities topics.
