Dr. Bennett is great. I had him for BIOL 2301. His lectures are long and his handwriting is sometimes impossible to read but he explains concepts very well. His exams are pretty hard but curved. Put in the work and a B or above is guaranteed. He's also just very nice and overall a wonderful guy. Highly recommend taking him for 2301 and 3611.2301 2026-02-18 21:33:54 +0000 UTC
Is this guy a professor or the reincarnation of 2018 LeBron? Great guy, looks out for you, lecture heavy, group projects. Accessible outside of class. Had him for biochem, tests were hard but curved.BIOL3611 2026-02-07 17:44:06 +0000 UTC
Definitely recommended!BIOL-2309 2026-01-09 23:38:58 +0000 UTC
One of the most straightforward learning experiences I've had taking his genetics class. As others here have said, just put in the work and follow the protocol.2301 2025-12-18 01:58:53 +0000 UTC
I took biochem with Prof. Bennett as a summer course and it genuinely traumatized me. - exams were based off Achieve, NOT what was covered in class (I only picked up on this on the final, where people either got 90-100s or 30-40s) - get ready to teach yourself the material... - didn't seem to know any topics - would give wrong answers to questionsBIOL3611 2025-12-01 18:58:27 +0000 UTC
Two thumbs up! Liked the class and all the activities!BIOL-2309 2025-12-18 22:38:19 +0000 UTC
Show up for the lectures and he will take notice. He is very helpful outside of class and hosts zoom office hours at night, and will host more before exams. He genuinely cares about his students, and wants to see everyone succeed in the class. Do the homework, go over the study guides, and go to office hours and you will be set.2301 2025-12-17 15:52:07 +0000 UTC
I've had him for several classes. Nice and very helpful. I liked the lectures and one really opened me up to the field I'm going into. Exams were easier as he gives a lot of study material.BIOL-2309 2025-12-13 12:10:45 +0000 UTC
Study sessions are very helpful.2301 2025-12-17 02:21:52 +0000 UTC
If you can sit through his lecture and actually listen to what he's saying you'll know all you need to. Worst e-handwriting ever because he uses a mouse. This guy needs an apple pen or something. But he'll tell you what to learn for exams, which is clutch tbh. Such a king, my only regret is that I didn't talk to him more.BIOL-2309 2025-12-12 00:10:28 +0000 UTC
I received a B+ in the genetics class, but admit I had my own issues going on. He helped me overall, but with missing class and some assignments my grade dropped. I respect his teaching style a lot and will take him again2301 2025-12-16 21:23:11 +0000 UTC
Leverages online assignments with in-class problem solving very well. One study tip is to pay attention to the in-class activities!BIOL-2309 2025-08-31 13:42:06 +0000 UTC
Most of the exams are based primarily on the Achieve homework. All lectures are based on the textbook. READ THE TEXTBOOK, master the achieve questions and you'll be set. Hes a great guy, super funny and enjoyable lecture.2301 2025-12-12 22:49:49 +0000 UTC
Overall I liked his genetics course a lotBIOL-2309 2025-08-29 01:21:23 +0000 UTC
