- Explained things well: was not too complex or too simple - Did not just read off of slides: spoke about current events. - Caring: He quizzed me over the phone because I had a doctor's appointment at the same time as our quiz! - Content is easy if you have background information on biology, but some test questions can still be tricky.

Dr. Eskin is definitely someone who cares about what he is teaching, just be prepared for his midterms and final as it took me by surprise. I took this course as a GPA booster because it was recommended but that really depends on the professor. learned my lesson will always check ratemyprofs first!

Comment:
Eskin is a knowledgeable prof that cares about his studies, however, he can be quite boring to listen to and he is very slow to respond to emails. I had an assignment remarked and it took two emails and a visit to his office. Although the course is a easy GPA booster, still study for the midterm and final because they were harder than I expected.

One piece i can give you is, never take a course with Michael Eskin. I took his class this fall after hearing how easy the course is, and that is true, the class is very easy but the prof sucks. He lost my assignment twice, ignored my emails, turned me down when i went to his office hours AND THEN lost my final exam!!!!! DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS!!!!

This was the easiest class I've ever taken. The assignments are ridiculously easy and boost your mark a TON! Don't even bother reading the textbook, I studied it like crazy for the midterm and all the questions were from the lectures. Eskin is the most boring lecturer ever and his British accent is honestly the only thing that got me through class

He's a funny guy, but he also cares about his students, he's very approachable and easy to talk to, especially if there is a problem with the assignments. Recommended!

His raps are amazing, go to lectures so you don't miss the raps. Assignments are easy GPA boosters and exams are pretty easy just make sure if you don't go to the lectures (I did not) you are still taking the notes and reading the textbook

Comment:
Rap god. His music videos (of himself rapping) make the whole class worth it. 1000 years old, very quiet, reads straight from the textbook. Easy class, he posts partial notes, but because he reads straight from the textbook you can figure out what you need to know on your own. Lyrical genius. Dances like an angel

Going to class is PAINFUL. Goes ridiculously slowly through the material by reading exactly what is on the PowerPoint slides. Seems like a nice guy but pretty much just straight up reads word for word whats written on the slides

Once in a lifetime rap artist, might be Eminem's dad. Professor by day, spitting bangers by night. Someone sign this man.

Comment:
I could read through this course's entire curriculum faster than this guy can teach one chapter. Going to class is painful, reading off slides at a rate of about 5 words per minute (exaggeration). Besides that, seems a decent enough guy who knows his stuff. Fairly easy course.

I found this prof very poor. Did not answer questions with any clarity and you couldn't hear him in class at all. All he did was read off his slides and called people out whenever there were practice questions and made them feel unintelligent. If you have accessibilities this prof does not understand them and is not accommodating. Notes are posted.

Dr. Eksin really knows his stuff, but he talks very softly so id highly recommend sit closer to the front if possible. The lecture notes are very straight forward and easy to understand. He is very approachable and enjoys answering questions, this class is definitely a GPA booster!!

Dr. Eskin is a solid professor but he can be really hard to hear in large lecture halls. As well, save your questions for after class because he is hard of hearing. He is very knowledgeable and teaches the course well. This class is a great GPA booster.

The prof is a good one, very nice and social outside class and in office. However, the lectures are heavy and reading the textbook is a must to succeed in this course.

Comment:
Well, the main issue is that he just read through slides... and he posts PPT on UMlearn. Finally, half of the class never show up. This course became a Distance course... If the pro just read slides, no one will come to class... I know he is nice and kind but as a pro, he need to be more professional rather than read slides.... ...

He is a very nice professor!! Even the class was not that funny, but he could give you a very helpful scale of the exam, and his assignments were not that difficult, anyway, his class was valued to take!

Comment:
Assignments are an easy way to boost grades, and tests are not bad at all if you just read the information on his slides and jot down any information from the textbook he mentions. He seems like a genuinely nice person, however his heart isn't into teaching the class, he often just reads over slides without clarification (besides personal stories)
