Comment:

Had him for the Immunology section of Micb 202. He covered the material pretty well - his lectures complemented the course notes for the course and makes them more student friendly in my opinion. He answers questions before/after class and is extremely helpful. The exams for this course, however, were all multiple choice.

A really nice fellow. Class is well-paced and easy to follow. However, this class isn't easy. LOTS to memorize and you must memorize it all!

Comment:

Dr. Teh made everything very clear in my opinion (the supplemental notes are great), and his final was incredibly straight forward. Didn't need to use the textbook even once. His lectures are boring, as he just reads through his notes (verbatim), but the way he lays out concepts and figures makes them easy to understand.

he was difficult to understand, boring, he read completely off his notes, and required too much memorization.

Comment:

difficult to understand what he says. his lecture slides are the exact same as the packaged course notes and so he just reads off of them. the midterm was much harder than the practice midterm. MC questions were vague and were along the lines of "i/ii are correct, i/iii are correct, all of the above, and none of the above".

Comment:

Bad prof for a not-so-bad course. Very knowledgeable, but fairly incomprehensible voice & accent, need extreme concentration. Huge posted notes, need lots of time to organize and take it all in, which you MUST do before the brutal Finals. Questions answered alright.

Comment:

Final was okay, no tricks, just requires you to memorize everything. Make sure you know the names and the functions of the interferons, cytokines, chemokines, and the integrins. I suggest using a seperate note to keep track of them. There were a few thinking questions that don't relate to specific sections. Say all the things that you can think of.

Comment:

Nice fellow but his accent makes him hard to follow. I used the text book extensively for his section. FT was fair but many didn't think so. Spends too much time trying to answer everyone's questions and doesn't help on the forums like Gold did. Notes are okay but not great. Lecture is pretty bland. Ppl said tutorial was pretty good. I didn't go.

Comment:

Not a bad professor and knowledgeable by all means. Says 'okay' and 'right' alot after his sentences, which can get annoying. Some midterm questions can be vague. I hate it when he lets students ask questions on forever though; that's what office hours are for.

Comment:

He is extremely knowledgeable in his field, and very receptive to questions. He makes an effort to help students too. The only problem is, its hard to understand him and follow his lectures. His notes are not as detailed as one would hope, but they get the point across.

Comment:

Not as bad as some people make him out to be. Yes, he is a little monotone and queit when speaking but he is very responsive to questions and has fairly clear notes. The only downfall is that he uses his own research to teach, which can be a bit too in depth in terms of detail for a 3rd year undergrad.

the immunology part of MICB202 is HARD!!! way harder than the other 2 parts. His midterm was pretty hard, I got a 60ish mark. So study your ass off, but the Micb202 final was very easy!!!! My final mark was A- in the end, thanks to the final!!!! Btw, there is NO SCALING for this course...!

Comment:

He tries really hard but he's sometimes hard to understand. He has trouble interpreting student questions so it's best not to ask. His powerpoint presentation is the same as the notes and he goes on to re-copy the whole powerpoint onto the overhead... waste of time in my opinion.
