Comment:

Lectures are a bit unstructured though you can always listen to podcasts and the TAs post their notes. There is also no section for this class, which doesn't really matter as the TA notes are pretty helpful. MC midterm is easy, but final is a bit tricky as he wants very specific info and the questions are a bit vague.

Comment:

I usually skip lecture and just read the text book but you don't want to try that in this class.Some of the material is from his personal research and not in the book.Test questions need to be written more clearly as they are sometimes vague and your answer may be correct but not what he wants=WRONG!Tricky tests but a good lecturer none the less.

I had him for Cancer bio, and it was one of the most interesting classes I've ever taken. He's also really nice and helpful. Highly recommended for those interested in graD or med school!

Comment:

Great lecturer. One of the most interesting classes, and so applicable to the world around us. Podcasted, so dont HAVE to attend lectures, but always better, since lectures are so interesting. Clear professor with clear/fair exams. MC midterm, short response final. The class is pretty smart, so be prepared to study a lot!

lectures are boring. paces back and forth continuously, having a staring contest with the floor. multiple choice exams are easy, just read the book.

Boring lectures - powerpoint presentations in a dark room made me fall asleep. Super-easy multiple choice exams - just be sure to read the book. Instructor friendly and helpful outside of class.
