The teacher himself is an amazing dude you can tell he is passionate about what he teaches. Just be sure to study well for the tests cause majority of your grade is from that and your final project. He does group discussions so that is participation grade. Very understanding and accessible outside of class.BIOL2299-Regene 2026-09-04 14:49:14 +0000 UTC
I took his current topics class and it was my favorite class I have taken at Northeastern. He was an INCREDIBLE teacher. Super enthusiastic, great at explaining complex topics, super kind and understanding when answering questions. 3 exams, challenging but very fair. He would often give points back if a lot of people got them wrong.BIOL3411 2025-12-13 04:16:45 +0000 UTC
He's great and his tests are online in class lockdown browser. I would say to go to class since he reviews before every exam and basically tells you what's going to be on the test. Make sure to take good notes during class because his slide shows kinda suck since they are basically all images/graphs LOL.BIOL2299-Regene 2026-04-14 21:37:14 +0000 UTC
This class was great! You read papers, present a poster, and listen to lectures that help you become well-versed in limb regeneration. Prof. Duerr is genuinely one of the nicest professors I've had at Northeastern - his exams are fair, he's accessible outside of class, and he truly cares about student understanding! Plus, axolotls are super cool :)BIOL3411 2025-12-03 23:53:37 +0000 UTC
good professor knows what he is doing.BIOL2299-Regene 2026-04-09 16:42:25 +0000 UTC
Duerr is incredibly passionate about regeneration, though teaching is evidently not his area of expertise, at least not yet as a postdoc. He teaches at an accelerated pace, and lectures can oftentimes be difficult to follow - owing to the specificity of his research. He is an amicable person outside of class though and is always willing to help.BIOL2299-Regene 2023-12-01 19:32:23 +0000 UTC
