I went to every lecture, but did not get much out of them. The only way to succeed on exams is to read hundreds of pages. He was unavailable for office hours! so it was very hard to get feedback if you wanted itBIOL2323 2014-04-25 17:51:52 +0000 UTC
Exams were relatively easy, just study the lecture material and you should do more than fine. Lectures were sometimes atrociously mundane but he's extremely helpful otherwise.BIOL3401 2012-12-10 05:15:58 +0000 UTC
Nice man, but poor teacher. VERY unclear about what you actually need to know for the midterm and final. Only preparation for midterm and final is to read 14+ chapters from the textbook for each test. Only uses slides from the textbook for powerpoint during lecture. Tests not impossible, but you do not learn very much in this class.BIOL2323 2012-12-04 12:11:16 +0000 UTC
