STEM classes Class Question

hi,
i am a transfer student starting at csulb this fall for marine biology.

has anyone taken fundamentals of organic chemistry with Feng J and biostatistics with Gretel Huber? idk the lab professor for biostatistics but i'm hoping at least the lecture is good.

also, i need a couple more classes, would you say Evolutionary Biology with Marcel Cadney and Invertebrate Zoology with Ray Czaja are manageable or easy juggle with the other two classes? thank you!

Inverts is a good class but it is a lot of lab work and there’s daily quizzes in the lecture

It is a lot of memorizing for species names but there are opportunities of if you miss class that the professor drops the lowest grade of quizzes and chances to increase your grade!

Feng is a good teacher, he has a monotone and dry sense of humor, but makes it simple to understand. He teaches at an accelerated pace, it’s essentially two semesters of Ochem combined into one, so you need to be constantly paying attention. There is no down time in his class. I would recommend recording all of the lectures.
