Comment:

Other posts seems to say that he was not a good lecturer, but I can surely say that he was very nice instructor in biochemistry lab. He made such a great effort to make his student do well on their experiment and encourge them by giving an incentive. I got the feeling that he actually cared his student very much. I just graduated and would miss him

Comment:

On the first day of class, he put up a statement on the overhead projector that said, "Rules for My Half of the Course." One of the rules was that we weren't supposed to email him. What a dope- no professors devise 'rules' for a biology course.

All time worst teacher in my entire history of being a student! He mumbles through the entire lecture and tests on unimportant details. You will be docked several times for 1 mistake. No possible way to finish test in a 50 minute session. He SUCKS!!!!!!!!

The absolute worst teacher I've ever had period! I can get over the fact that he mumbles and no one understands him but how dare he blame 150 students for getting an average score of a 48% on the midterm! Get a f*$%ing clue! You suck at teaching!

Comment:

He is a teacher that believes in setting students up to fail. He obviously wasn't hired for his teaching ability. No notes, lecture slides illegible or completely undecipherable. He believes that he can get a class to learn by not teaching us anything.

PUT THIS OFF UNTILL A NEW PROF. TAKES OVER! He can't teach, isn't helpful, rambles about unimportant material, gives 10p exams for 50min, and then has the nerve to tell the entire class that WE are stupid!! Why am I paying for this? Who hired him?

I have to say he is the worst instructor I have ever had. He misuses terminology. He shows up late to class. Did a test that was about ten pages long for a 50 minute time period. Not to mention he showed up late to the exam as well!

This is by far the most unhelpful professor I have ever had. It is sad that students have to completely rely on the text and TA’s. Why is he getting paid?

Comment:

He cannot lecture for ****, for the most part it consists of incoherant rambling of seemingly unimportant material. Though his 10 page tests reflect that he only values the minute details of the subject rather than an overall grasp of the concepts.

Comment:

before the first midterm he had a 30% drop out rate and i only expect it to go up after this midterm. he's a brilliant man but needs to learn to connect with his students and to except criticism.
