Comment:
I took PhD level Bio-Organic Chemistry at my alma mater as in undergrad, a top 20 ranked National University (US News), receiving A's in Organic Chemistry and Bio-Organic Chemistry. With this experience in mind, I must say that while the lectures are interesting, the exams for his class are absolute garbage. Nit picky.

Comment:
Schaffhausen teaches graduate biochem, and this is certainly a touch graduate level course. The course is based a lot on experiments, and is therefore tough to follow at times. Overall he just really wants people to understand biochem. I like the course, but had to work really hard for the grade I got. (test averages are in the 40's)

AWFUL LECTURES!! He didn't even bother to put lecture slides (like ever other professor does weeks in advance) until AFTER the lecture! Lectures were extremely disorganized.

Comment:
The class is very hard, so much material. The teacher is tough and strict. Most people I talked to openly admited they were extremely stressed out while taking the class, they could not sleep. The lectures are like pulling teeth,but u do learn a lot.
