Comment:
90% of the grade is based on 3 exams. Exams are 80% multiple choice and very short (20 questions or less). He is wicked funny and nice if you get to know him. He provides lots of clear examples, and supplemental videos. Definitely the easiest of the Biochem's

Comment:
Very rude and unhelpful. Once refused to answer a question when asked in class. Misspellings abound in everything he writes. Clearly values research over the students. Lectures are extremely unhelpful. Exams are basically all multiple choice, zero partial credit. Group projects are easy but he will take off many points for minor citation issues.

Comment:
While he was nice, he did not explain material clearly and was not helpful one-on-one. He was also a very strict grader and exams were 20 multiple choice questions. I would avoid this class at all costs or be EXTREMELY COMMITTED to study on your own.

Comment:
It seems like he doesn't even try to pronounce things correctly, and in a class where you have to learn a lot of new vocabulary, this is bad news. I don't want to go around saying Fo-ffo-leeped! The whole class tends to sleep though his lectures, and in a class of 18, it can be prettty akward to be around. AndIhavenoideaWHATTOSTUDY

Comment:
Had him for Biochem II. Probably one of the worst profs. I've ever had. Unhelpful, full of himself, unclear, expects you to read his mind, and treats you like you're stupid if you don't get something. If you don't need it don't take it.

Comment:
Took biochem lab +upper level biochem lecture with him (8yrs ago,ugh). Terrified of this guy, because he would make such a big deal out of details like keeping labbook, planning an exp't. when I had coasted thru other labs. But now as a 'real' scientist, the things he made too big a deal about are what I'm glad I ever learned...
