Comment:
Fantastic professor. As a psychology student with no high school experience or interest in biology, I loved this course. I am now much more interested in biology and may pursue other bio classes. Levine is very helpful and more than fair.He even asked us to write on our M/C midterm booklet if we thought a question was unfair-for removal.Great prof!

I had to take this course as a prerequisite and was not excited, but he made it way better for me. A fabulous lecturer and really helpful, responds to emails quickly and is eager to help. I would take another course with him for sure!

Comment:
I'm really not a science person, but this probably was my favourite course this semester. Though he sometimes goes on to tell stories that are not that relevant, the lectures are overall interesting and engaging. He's also funny, which made everything better especially when the class is at 8:30 a.m.

extremely witty, obviously brilliant. slides can get a bit lazy but he's still good at explaining things, you will do well if you listen to all the lectures.

Funny during class and a fair grader, but not great in explaining concepts. A little scatter-brained.

Professor Levine is great, who knew somebody could make cell metabolism seem interesting! One of the funniest professors I've ever had, made me laugh for the entire class.

Comment:
Levine is a great prof, very clear, and the midterms and final are very fair. I didn't open my textbook ONCE (still has the plastic on it!) and I got a B+; he says himself that the book is just there to clarify what he says in lectures, which are recorded. Take notes, pay attention, study, and you'll do well. Easiest bio class at McGill!

Dr. Levine is an amazing professor. He is extremely clear and helpful and up to date on the material. The best part about Dr. Levine's course is that he does not go out to trick you, If you put in the time, you will get the mark you want. All lectures are recorded and posted, although Dr. Levine's sense of humor makes attending class worthwhile.

Dr. Levine is amazing! You can tell that he is constantly updating what he knows about the field of biology.I would recommend taking the class for fun, i learned a great deal about the basics of biology. Also the last part on evolution is crazy interesting!

Good professor. Pretty funny and you can tell that he's passionate about the subject, even though the class itself is very broad. As for the exams, review the lectures!! If you take good notes, you'll do very well. No one shows up to class because you don't really need to, but I'd say it's worth it.

A funny dude! Sit up front and be privy to his quirky sense of humor and self-deprecation. A nice intimate class to attend (because no one shows up). Makes cool references - you can tell he has good musical taste, etc. and is just an all-around awesome individual. Students are very fond of him.

Great prof! Midterms seemed quite straight forward. He's extremely helpful. As long as you go to lectures, you should be fine. Everything he says in lectures is everything you need to know. Textbook is definitely NOT REQUIRED. I never enjoyed bio before but he's a good prof. I would definitely take another course with him.

Comment:
Definitely more boring than Brown and always ran classes right til the end unlike Brown. However his exams questions were so much easier unlike Brown's convoluted nonsense. If you're taking this class, it's likely not by choice anyway. You'll be fine. Get the book/cd (any edition) and use the book's website.

i really don't like biology, but i really didn't think prof. levine helped. i found it impossible to get through his classes, and ended up listening to them online. the exams were not easy- they had a lot of random, in depth, annoying questions. the curve helps a lot though.
