He makes you earn an that A but does not make it impossible and wants you to succeed. He even drops the lowest test and double counts the highest! He is a good, kind, brilliant man.

Dr Spence is truly an amazing, intelligent man. His tests are hard and you have to study your booty off. He does give you extra credit though if you go to study sessions. Take good notes and study all the time for his class would be my advice to his future students

High school biology kicked my butt, but Dr. Spence was amazing. Had to work hard, but he made it possible to EARN an A.

BEST PROFESSOR EVER! He makes science so easy. He draws everything on the board, has slides, gives typed notes, an exam review, and extra credit for attending SI sessions once a week. If anything he Over explains things. Homework is easy and takes 10 minutes. He is OCD and particular but ALWAYS tells you want he wants.

Great professor! Made Gen I easy to understand and learn. There were many opportunities to get help such as attending the numerous amounts of SI sessions or simply passing by his office. He informs the class about the important information you should know and the homeworks can be finished in 10 minutes. He loves teaching and is HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Comment:

Not Biochem. Cell Bio is not very challenging, compared to microbiology, and the material for quizzes and tests come directly from his own lecture notes

Dr.Spence is extremely passionate about teaching. He knows his biology! He will help you anytime you email/call/or stop by his office. Tests are difficult, but if you study and pay attention, they are not bad.

Dr. Spence was dedicated, and showed up extreemly early every morning. Excessive amounts of drawings. He also tends to go off on rabbit trails, and thus get behind schedual.

very good professor! He is also an excellent advisor. He will do anything to help you and he'll answer any question you have, no matter how stupid or unrelated to biology. He knows a ton about history, all science (physics, chem, math, etc.) He is a super nice guy (most of the time) too. Just don't piss him off, because he can get mad easily.
