Comment:
He's the department head. His section of the course is probably the most interesting, especially if you're into the health sciences. Exam was very fair and the format was interesting with two take home questions that were quite fun to do. Enjoy this section of the course because the other profs are lacking.

Comment:
Supplemental notes are great, used those as main notes, and the actual class notes as supplemental. Fair teacher, makes the material interesting by relating a lot of the information to current medical issues.

Comment:
He tried his best to feed us amino acid catabolism, but for me it was simply too much to cram in 2 months. Sometimes his notes are just way too long. Read and re-read everything if you want to do well on the exam

Comment:
Material is rather difficult, but all notes are highly organized. There will be questions you cannot answer unless you study alternative sources (although he says he only tests from notes) , but if you memorize everything, there should not be a problem to get A from his section of the course

In class notes are helpful. Online notes are very good but you will have to pre read so that you can figure out what goes on in class. Exams are 100% memorization, although the exams will have questions that you will not know about unless you keen out on the text. He will not mention this to you so beware. Otherwise a helpful guy.

he's really a nice person. he tried to help us not just for materials in this course, but other academic issues as well. he's a role model for us all. it's just that he cant' teach. and i must admit the material is hard.

A nice person, but not very talented in terms of teaching. Lost me for most of the classes. Lots of material to digest and memorize, but exams are do-able.

Comment:
At first seemed pretty dull, but got more interesting as the term went along. Towards the end he even told us jokes and wore a mullet wig :) He really cares about how we do, not only in the course but in biochemistry as a discipline. Taught historical aspects as well, which I enjoyed.

Nice guy, exams aren't as hard as everyone makes them out to be--bioc 303 isn't a cake-walk. Handwriting could be a little more legible, but it isn't unreadable.

Rely heavily on web notes. Memorize everything on web notes and you shall be fine. A very nice person tho, willing to answer questions and offer studying tips.
