Comment:

He is the most terrible lecturer I have ever had. He assumes everyone has his level of knowledge and his course reader is a scattered mosaic of thoughts. He also says his exams are not specifics but they are almost purely the details of the course. Worst prof I have had at Queen's

Comment:

Plaxton should teach every biology course at Queens. Exam questions super fair, clearly wants students to do well. Helpful, very nice, and I liked his little tangents during class, they were interesting. I thought I would hate biochem, but thanks to Plaxton I absolutely loved this class. Great alternative to chem 282! You'll be happy with your mark

Helpful and very caring. Really tries to provoke your interest in the subject. Made Biochemistry interesting even for the least-expecting students.
