Comment:
awesome lectures; awesome notes; too much expectation of regurgitation on the exam though; e.g. "tell me 12 things about how a lysosome is moved from ER to lysosome" If you only remember 6 things -- you'd only get half the marks. The whole midterm and exam were like this; what if you knew your stuff passively but not actively?

Comment:
I like him, he reminds me of winnie the pooh.. especailly when he laughs. He is definately random, but he puts a ton of effort into his lecture notes, and he is always organized. Very receptive to talking after class - he loves to talk, but he is cute, so it is ok!

He's a smart guy, and very nice too. I think any criticism about unclarity in the lectures should be leveled at the complexity of biochemistry, not at JAT.

He has fair exams, knows what he's talking about... tells some interesting stories sometimes! Doesn't seem like he's very easy to talk to though.. always rushed.

Great prof, but what's with the powerpoint lecture notes? Be consistent and stop changing the slides last minute. Mutiple versions of the same lecture makes it quite confusing.
