Current Teaching
My colleague Dr. Joel Porquet-Lupine has a great discussion on the value of sites such as RateMyProfessor. If you are a BME student, you probably know that BME students rarely post reviews to these sites. I strongly believe that transparency from the instructor themselves (and information sharing between the students) is much more valuable than anything you read on these sites.
Therefore, along with my current teaching schedule, I will also provide the average teaching evaluations across all times I have taught the course (out of 5.0), as well as an average workload as reported by the students if I have taught this course (lecture/lab/self study; unit is hours per week), so you may make your own informed decisions.
| Course | Units | Title | Course /5 | Inst /5 | Exp. Load | Next Offering |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| BIM 1 | 2 | Introduction to Biomedical Engineering | 3.8 | 4.5 | 1/3/4 | Fall 2027 |
| BIM 89C | 4 | Scientific Computing for BME (Python) | 4.6 | 5.0 | 3/2/7 | Winter 2027 |
| BIM 107 | 2 | Manufacturing Processes for BME | 4.7 | 4.9 | 1/3/1 | Winter 2027 |
| BIM 111 | 6 | Biomedical Instrumentation Lab | 4.6 | 4.6 | 4/3/12 | Fall 2026 |
| BIM 155 | 4 | Machine Learning for BME | 4.6 | 4.7 | 3/3/6 | Spring 2027 |
| FRS 3 | 1 | Navigating Challenges as a Woman in Engineering | 4.5 | 4.6 | 1/0/1 | Fall 2026 |
| MDD 423 | 3 | Engineering Skills 3 | N/A | N/A | 2/3/4 | Spring 2027 |
If you elect to take my course, my syllabus also has a grade distribution of all students who have taken this course in the previous three years.
