Professor Kane is one of more genuine and upbeat professors at UCLA. I love the way she organizes her slides as there's important bullet points and pictures that help us understand concepts. Moreover, a large portion (if not all of it) of the exams comes from the concepts/bullet points right out of the slides.
As a professor, she explains topics in a simple way and knows how to communicate well. She is very helpful in office hours and makes an effort to learn your name.
Exams: These exams were fair in that you should have learned everything from reading over the slides. The textbook isn't as helpful but she does get her lecture slides off stuff from the book so reading over the book is helpful in rounding out the concepts. However, I mostly focused on the slides and did very well on the exams.
Assignments: yea thes can be a bit of a pain but they are easy free points so don't miss these. She even gives us extra credit (up to 9 points which 4 test questions worth of extra credit).
You can miss abut 63 points in the class out of 900 and get a solid A. It's very doable, the concepts don't require a lot of understanding but more so just memorizing names, categories, and characteristics of cycles, animals, plants, and natural phenomenon. 10/10 would recommend Kane over anyone for LS1

Professor Kane is one of my favorite professors I've had at UCLA. She's very funny and cares about her students' understanding of the material. Her lectures are engaging and she often makes jokes. Her great personality makes the material more interesting. She uses iClickers to track attendance, but you get three free days and there are lots of extra credit opportunities available throughout the quarter. She offers midterm and final study guides which are extremely helpful if you complete all or most of the bullet points. The second midterm is more difficult than the first, but the final is pretty fair. Overall, Dr. Kane makes this class great. I highly recommend taking it with her if you can!

Dr. Kane is an incredibly sweet lecturer who demonstrates a lot of care for both the material and the student experience. Our lectures were in the morning and she usually spent the first 5 or so minutes just chatting or letting people file in before actually speaking. The lectures themselves aren't super impactful, I think they could have used a little more depth or gone a little faster, but they're also very clear and move at a manageable pace. Dr. Kane is kind of bad at responding via email though.

The class itself is an easy A, it just requires you to do a couple of readings before each class so you can take a short multiple choice quiz. These are super easy and they're practically recycled for the exams, which were mostly multiple choice. There were a couple of free response and always had small bits of extra credit. I kind of wish the class taught more, but it was definitely a fun class to take to get some units without putting a major burden on your schedule. Really wish the discussion wasn't mandatory though, that shit was always some hot trash. I don't know if my TA (Onny) was responsible but they started with the TA giving a mandatory 20-30 minute yap session about the same conservation topic every time.

Prof. Kane is excellent for this class, as I had heard from many people before. The course is highly similar to AP Bio; if you did well in the class in high school, you should already know much of LS1. While the course isn't difficult in content, there are a lot of "components" to this class and your grade (exams, clicker questions, online quizzes, labs, lab pre-reading quizzes), so you'll spend a lot of time just trying to remember all of these things and staying on top of deadlines, which come twice a week or so. You'll also have to be tolerant of labs that might seem a bit pointless or like busy work.

I love Dr. Kane. Her class is extremely reasonable. Highly recommend taking her class if you can!!!

Dr. Kane is the best professor for LS1 as far as I can tell. She integrated dense information with fun facts and stories. I enjoyed going to class every day and the tests were fair and straightforward as long as you review the slides.

Really fun and interesting. Kanes classes are all relatively similar to one another. If youve taken a class with her, its pretty much similarly structured.

Concepts covered are interesting, exams are extremely straightforward so long as you paid attention in lecture and reviewed slides, and overall, not too bad.

Very interesting and chill class. Kane tells you exactly what to expect on midterms and exams. Class is straightforward in expectations.

Super fun! If you liked 109, youll probably enjoy this class too.

Kane was a good professor! As far as LS 7 lecturers go, I thought she taught well and tried to keep the class engaged. She could have maybe spent a little less time between clicker questions, but otherwise, she was solid. In terms of the actual class itself, I found it to be a little harder and more frustrating than LS7A. While the material for a lot of people is a bit easier to understand, I thought the exams themselves were a bit harder (Although that might have been because I had very little interest in the material). Also, there were times where I felt the class was wasting my time. The "labs" for this class are two hours long, but I felt like a lot of the activities we did either could be finished in much less time or could be better formatted to finish earlier. Additionally, there is a project where you basically have to research a plant in the Botanical Gardens, and honestly, that was a fat waste of time, as none of the material required for that project was relevant to the class. Long story short, I thought the class sucked, but Kane was good.

I thought she was very helpful and also very approachable as a professor! She taught concepts really well and I actually enjoyed the pace of her clicker questions because I got to answer the question on my own, ask people around me, then relax a little before getting back into the material.
