Entertaining man. 77%A with curve. Tests were HARD and TRICKY. I enjoyed his lectures. But the instant his TAs took over the second half of the semester, the course went in a tailspin as lectures became hard to follow and there was so much information. Better off watching Khan Academy and reading textbook. Study guides were 55% useful.

Comment:

Best professor of the semester! Amazing lecturer, he managed to keep my attention in the material. Definitely makes the material crystal-clear. So do yourself a favor and go to class. On top of that, the exams are a piece of cake (multiple choice, scantrons...) He would be a first choice instructor for any class honestly.

Comment:

He was a great lecturer and definitely one of my favorite lecturers for this class. His powerpoints are good study material and is very helpful. The downside is that the questions he chose for the exam were very difficult, as in even if you studied and knew the material, the questions were confusing. I recommend reading the book.

Comment:

This is one of the easier bio courses at UIC. Leonard's portion of the class is xtremly easy. This guy is also pretty easy. IOW, Leonard: 5/5 and Park 4/5 on hardness. As I said in Leonards rating, treat this as a social sci/humanities course while planning ur schedule. Good luck!

Be wary- he may seem all lax and jovial, but his tetsts are not. He's definitely amusing, but he has a professional edge.
