Pham is one of the best professors I have had. He took his time explaining topics in lecture, and the pre-lecture videos were clear and concise. He is also super approachable and is always willing to answer questions. Discussion sections were really helpful, where we would go over that week's worksheet and concepts. Between the clicker questions from lecture, weekly worksheets, and previous exams that he posts, there were never any surprises on the exams. As long as you study the material that is given, you will get the grade you want. The weekly quizzes were also really helpful to know where you need to focus more time during studying. I cannot recommend this class enough.

This class is def very content-heavy, and focuses on cell and molecular bio and can get confusing and difficult if you don't have a strong foothold in it from high school + don't consistently study and figure out your weak spots. Exams have individual and group phases and your final grade for those are the averages, so that should def help your grade if your group is good (mine was and I ended up getting very close to perfect on the group section). Pham is amazing and super nice and responsive to emails. To succeed in this class: DO NO FALL BEHIND. It's really hard to get back on track and there's so much content to learn. The grading scheme for this class makes it easier to get an A, so as long as you understand the Launchpad + Launchpad quiz/exams, Clickers, Discussion, and PLF sheets, you are more than prepared to do really well in this class. Good luck!

He is popular for a reason. Best thing about him is that his class and especially the review sessions are organized and timely. He cares about students in OHs too. Great professor. Homework and stuff should be all the same regardless who you take.

I was super stoked to take this class because Pham has one of the highest ratings for this course, however I felt a little disappointed. His accent + the mic + his mask made it very hard to understand him, and although that's an uncontrollable situation, I found that if I zoned out for 2 seconds I could no longer follow along. As someone who sometimes struggles with maintaining focus for extensive periods of time, I ended up learning more from my TA and review sessions than I did actual lectures.

This class was still very interesting and there were still a lot of extra credit opportunities to help bump final grades up. DO THE EXTRA CREDIT! You won't regret it; grades are based on total points, so those extra few points can make or break your grade.

Professor Pham is one of my favorite professors that I had last quarter. You can tell that he genuinely cares about his students and he is always a very helpful resource. This class has a lot of pre-class work of taking notes and reading on LaunchPad, it is a lot of work but it's manageable. The 7 series tests are pretty challenging, but an A is definitely attainable in this class.

Professor Pham was an incredible professor. He was super patient with everyone and would spend hours helping students outside of class. The class itself has some busy work, but I could not recommend taking LS7B with Professor Pham more.

GOAT as usually. Cares a lot about whether students can learn well, and he also does the work into making information clear. He may either do lecture recordings of more content or do faster lectures and have you all ask questions during OHs. Either way, he is very helpful and clear. Exams are the same for all and can be quite hard. Regardless, passing is easy since relatively no brainer homework and labs should earn you a significant portion of points guaranteed.

SUCH A FUN CLASS AND AN AMAZING PROFESSOR! Pham was the absolute sweetest and one of the best professors I've had here. He really cares about his students and answers every question we have. His exams are very easy if you do the past exams that he posts on CCLE, because the question types are very similar. The class gets harder in the second half of the quarter, but still doable if you don't get behind. The only negative thing I have to say about this class was that we were a little behind, so we weren't able to get through all the material which I was looking forward to. But this might have just been for this quarter! Definitely recommend taking with Pham!

He was a lovely teacher!! Easy to understand and was very considerate when it came to student's difficulty in understanding the content. One time, I made a mistake on my AOL 1 of not saving my answers and my grade was really bad because of it, and he offered me a proposition that if my grade, by the end of the quarter looked really bad, he'd drop it. Very considerate teacher, I miss him lots. The coursework itself is pretty hard though, so I recommend not skipping lecture (if you can) and really pay attention and ask questions in lecture.

Dr.Pham deeply cares for his students who take his course. He makes sure to answer your questions thoroughly and is open to feedback on the structure of his class. I loved going to his class as he made genetics so much more engaging, and he oftentimes stays late during his OHs to make sure every student is cared for. I highly recommend taking his course when he is teaching 7B. An absolutely wonderful professor!
