He explains very well and make everything simple for everyone. If you ask questions he explains it to you no matter how much you ask him. There’s a lab quiz at every lab but you can do it in teams. Take notes during classes bc they help a lot. His exams are not that hard but you should review the lecutres really well. Had him for bio 1 and honestly it was fun

took him for Bio 2 and it was an extremely tough class, its a lot of molecular biology and less about organisms and what not

go to class, he explains things very well and simplifies it, he sometimes posts the powerpoint right before the class so you got to remind him to post it. it helps to read it before the class. he grades very slow. he's very knowledgeable and makes class fun with cahoot questions and does review of last week lecture in beginning of each class.
