Comment:

His lectures are really monotone and boring. The only thing fascinating about his lectures was the way he said "fructose". One positive is that he made the material applicable to bio majors, especially in the context of disease and disorders.

His slides can be a little dense but overall informative. Unfortunately, he can be a little monotone and his lectures are therefore boring.

Comment:

Shapleigh is one of those professors who knows how to balance helping students out and letting them solve problems independently. He was a Godsend in our purple non-sulfur bacteria project. Definitely recommend this course if you're into microbiology.

Teaches the last third of the course. Genuinely cares about his students and is very good at explaining things.
