I felt BE 110 was more straightforward then 100. Basically as long as you do and understand all the practice problems and problem sets he gives you, the tests are pretty much the same. He tends to pull from old problem sets/practice tests so definitely as least look over every problem/solution because things tend to reappear. His office hours are decently helpful, but more so if you have questions as the office hour problems just elaborate a little further than lecture.

Very challenging class. Problem sets are HARD, and the exams are difficult but doable if you do lots of practice problems. Lectures cover lots of material pretty quickly, so don't fall behind

This class applies math 33b to some different biology-related systems. The main topics are diffusion of molecules, bioreactors, receptor/ligand binding, and fluid mechanics/mass transfer. I enjoyed and understood this class much more than BE 100, and as a result did much better grade wise.

A big part of doing well in this class is simply doing as many problems as you can that Kamei gives during OH, discussion, and lecture, and then not bs-ing the psets. This class tests the ability to translate the word problems into math problems and then solving those math problems correctly.

The class did 'well' this year, so Kamei curved to an A-/B+ average (Above the mean gets an A- and below the mean gets a B+). The Exam 1 average was 67, Exam 2 average was 73, and Final average was 69.

I'm surprised that the last and only written review for this class is from 2015. I guess there really isn't much to say besides that it's a required class for all bioengineers. Less conceptual than 100, but more variables to keep track of throughout the differential equations you need to solve. Also, you don't get to bring in a cheat sheet. Good luck, and don't cheat!

Courses Taken: BE 100, BE 110, BE C101

I took all 3 of Kamei's classes and I would say out of all the BE classes I've (I am a senior) had Kamei's classes have been the most interesting.

Don't be scared off by how difficult they can be. I recommend going to discussion AND office hours since this is where extra problems are covered. It is important to stay on top of the HW too.

The tests also have a lot of math/application of math questions as Prof Kamei wants to make sure we haven't forgotten our math from the 31/32/33 series. These are essentially freebies if you know how to do it.

He is also a generous grader and if the classes have a high test average the average grade of the class also goes up.
