Comment:
biochem is difficult to begin w/ so many students do bad. it requires regular studying and no procrastination when it comes to studying. know everything well in detail. even if he only spends 5 min on a topic, make sure to know it well! he also curves a lot at the end. don't cram for this class or else youll find it hard. utilize his office hours

Comment:
Horrible questions on quizzes--and doesn't know answer himself. However, teaching wise, he's decent. Same as on the test, one clear answer. Just study SARs and generalities. Asks questions in class; be prepared to dig back to inorganic, organic, and biochemistry.

Comment:
Like in Biochemistry, tested us from the slides and incorporated basic scientific knowledge inbetween. Tested us on slides, but took a few corrections to get our actual grade. Between Conry, Jodlowski, Ashby, Cantor, and Stephani, Respiratory was an enjoyable and informative D&D.

He is one of the toughest biochemistry professors..it's not easy to get an A in his class and you have to attend every single lecture, take good notes and never ask him what's on the test because he will tell you the complete opposite...avoid him if u can!!!

Comment:
For Biochem, there are three steps to get an A. Write down everything he says in class, study, and FIGHT FOR TEST POINTS. On the first test, 8 points were found. He will go off topic and forget frequently; stay with him. Write down everything he says: what he says is on the test may not be, what he says to skip may be. FIGHT FOR YOUR POINTS.

Keeping good notes is 1/2 the battle, the other 1/2 is studying it. Not very difficult professor. Between him and Lau-cam, he's the lesser evil.

Biochem is hard overall. Gotta read the book and the notes to pass. He's constantly off tangent and messes up on his grading constantly. Def must go look at your test at his office and argue for the pts. He actually curved for the one's who didn't drop the class

HE is not as bad as people say. He is rude and not helpful that is true, but he is managable.Out of all the others I hear he actually has the highest averages.

The old tests DO NOT HELP. His exams are way different. I hope to God I don't have this man for any subject ever again. I studied mad hard and I still barely passed. The extra credits will save your life.

He can't teach and his tests are completely erratic...you spend the whole day studying one chapter and nothing from that chapter appears on the test. And for the person that said to get his old exams...yeah don't even bother...they didn't do much because he has changed his tests dramatically.

You might as well just take a D or F and go home. Don't even think about trying to do well with Dr. Stephani b/c you won't. He's unclear, his notes are retarded and most of all, he wants you to know things that only graduate Biochem students need to know. Better drop him while you can! for those who already has him, GET HIS OLD EXAMS!!they help!

I have gotten an A in every chem until biochem. This guy is ridiculous, he just sits on his chair and blabbers and wont answer questions well. His tests are ridiculous and unfair and pretty stupid. He has potential but as of now he has no game. Stay away, for for Ochs, becuase stephani is arrogant and doesnt realize it. Ochs = #1
