good teacher. He gives very detailed lectures and also record audio to study from. The information itself if very dense, but completely doable. The hard thing are the tests. The tests are meant to trick you, so read the questions carefully and you will do well! No lab, but put as much time into it as you would in a lab class.

Daggett is very clear cut in what he expects from you. His lectures are helpful but not mandatory. If you put in the time to study you can absolutely succeed in this class. Exams can be a little tricky but if you go in prepared you will be totally fine! If you need the credits its worth taking!

It's a huge lecture so it's very tempting to skip -- but dont! Take brief notes during lecture but try to understand and appreciate the concepts. Review the slides before coming to class for ease of understanding. After class go over the slides again in depth and make sure you understand everything. Exams are specific but very straightforward.

Records lectures and explains concepts pretty well (no accent) and reads off slides (which are the textbook) from time to time. Multiple choice exams can be tricky, but are more straight forward than PNB2274/75. Material is dense, don't fall behind, DO the problem sets. Highly recommend to anyone interested in cell dynamics/mitosis and signalling.

Optional, non-graded problem sets are nearly identical to the exams, but make sure you actually understand the problem sets, not just memorize the answers, because then you won't be able to figure out the exam. Very good with emails, if you email him a question he'll respond within a day or two with a full explanation

Daggett is a great guy. Super nice and the TAs are usually pretty good. The class itself however sucks. Exams are more/less difficult and there is no lab (so no grade bump). There's also quite a bit of material on each exam. More intense then microbio, less than biochem.

Love this guy, super nice and really cares about the students. The lectures are kinda boring but you don't need to go cus all the material is posted online. Exams are hard but what do you expect, it's cell bio. I'd def take him again

Can't blame Professor Daggett for the density that is cell biology. He did his part in teaching material that was often really boring to try to follow in lecture. Each exam is accompanied by 2 problem sets and these problems sets are very similar to exam questions. He's also very friendly and willing to help if you need it!

Cell bio is a lot of work, but definitely doable. If you go over the slides and know the problem set questions well, you'll do fine. Going to the lectures are helpful too. Dr. Daggett is super nice and kind and willing to help, do talk to him if you have any questions. Best bio professor I've ever had so far. Will take his other class in fall.

Very respectable guy. He has a certain charisma that makes me enjoy his class. Cell Biology is definitely dense, so take a few hours to review new and past slides every week. His lectures can sometimes be dry, but Dagget always throws in a few funny remarks or jokes to keep the material interesting. Tests are all multiple choice. No assignments.

Cell bio is dense, but this prof easily breaks it down. The exams are easy IF you do the problem sets. If you understand those, easy A on the exam. Be prepared to study, but this class is manageable. he records the audio for lectures, but show up cause you can see what he is talking about. He makes jokes often in class. Grade is pretty much exams.

Dr. Daggett is a great man. His exams are very challenging. If you study, you need to thoroughly do so. I attended every lecture and went to TA office hours every week.

The class was good but tough. I definitely read a lot and it cannot be done in one night. The studying has to be continuous. Everything is graded on 4 exams (1 dropped) + 1 final. The class was interesting

Honestly, this class was hard because cell bio itself is very dense and complex, but not because of the professor. He explained the material very well, recorded the lectures and posted them online, and gave us problem sets that were very similar to the exams. There is a lot of information to know, but it is totally doable if you're on top of it.

I loved Dr. Daggett and Cell Biology. He thoroughly explains everything, which is why I think going to lecture gives a huge advantage. Grade is entirely dependent on 4 exams but all the test questions are derived from practice problem sets that he provides. Review often and prepare in advance for exams. Holds review sessions, many TA office hours.

Dr. Daggett makes me smile in every class. He makes these clever jokes that only make sense if you understand the material. While the tests are heavy on the grade, they are not too challenging as long as you focus on learning in class and do the problem sets. Take the class and it'll help a ton in research!

This is the best class I've ever taken. It's very intensive with the readings, notes, and lab reports, but you learn the material. He's very thorough in his teaching style and makes sure that everyone understands a topic before moving on. He really wants to make sure you succeed so don't be afraid to ask questions!

Daggett's course is pretty simple, four exams for a quarter of your grade each, not cumulative. Unless you've transferred, you've probably taken Bio 1107 and thats probably the best way to describe how you should approach this course. However, there are problem sets which are close if not identical to the multiple choice exams.

Cell Biology is a very dense subject and exam questions aren't simple memorization-- you will need to understand experiments and how we know what we know. Textbook is optional as lectures have all the information you need, but if this is your first big MCB class ATTEND LECTURE. Daggett provides helpful problem sets and TA office hours are plenty.

Compared to the one other Bio class Ive taken (1107), Professor Daggetts class is more clear and straight to the point. Theres a lot of figures and processes in the slides that would usually confuse me but he explains clearly whats going on. In order to do well in this class, dont hesitate to keep up with the problem sets and ask questions.

I absolutely hated this class. That being said, Daggett is a solid choice for cell bio; his lectures may be dry but his problems sets give a really good feel for what the exams are like. I found it helpful to go over the lecture slides in addition to doing the problem sets. This class is a lot of work but doable.

The class isnt too bad if you keep up with material. The tests are based off the problem sets sometimes word for word. The worst part is watching his lectures online which were very boring at times. During the pandemic he added a few points to our final grade which was nice. He also gave everyone a 100 on one of the exams.

Daggett is a real gem. He's so knowledgeable on cell bio, I thoroughly enjoyed having him as a professor. DO THE PROBLEM SETS! The exams mock the problem sets. Watch the lectures and take notes. The class isn't easy by any means, but Daggett wants you to succeed and understand how things work. It's application based. Grade is 4 exams - work!

One of the best professors to adapt to distance learning. Do the problem sets and re-do them closer to the exam to prioritize what you need to review before the tests. One of the best professors I have had at UConn

Dr. Daggett is one of the best professors I've had so far, he really cares about his students. Although your grade is only based on four exams, you should be fine as long as you do the problem sets and understand the questions.

Professor Daggett does a great job explaining the material and offers plenty of opportunities to get extra help. This class was a difficult class that takes a lot of time and studying, but if you utilize the resources avilable to you, you will be fine.

Daggett is one of the better teachers I've had at school. He clearly cared abt how we did even in an online format and was always very accessible to the class. He even added long problem set reviews (like 10 hours of recordings) per exam to help us out. Tough material and gross format w only 4 exams being 25% each but Daggetts your best bet for MCB

Dr. Daggett was my favorite professor so far. He teaches the material very well and spends a lot of time making videos for us to watch to help clarify all of the material and answer practice questions. Our grade is only based on 4 exams, but if you watch his review videos you'll do well. He is also always available outside of class to help!

Dr. Daggett is hands down one of the best professors I've had so far at UConn. He's hosted multiple 3+ hour exam review questions as well as given us so many other resources that he's spent so much time on in order to help us. The course is quite difficult, however, and doing the problem sets is a must if you want to do well on the exams.

Dr. Daggett was a really nice professor. The class was quite difficult, especially since it was only graded by 4 exams, but he has many resources to help prepare for the exams.

Hands down! Dr. Daggett is one of the best MCB professors I've ever had. Cell Bio is not an easy subject by any means but his lectures are so thorough and clear that cements the content in your head. The problem sets given in class are SUPER IMPORTANT - DO THEM TWICE BEFORE THE EXAM! Dr. Daggett is very student-friendly and always there to help!

Dr. Daggett was an amazing professor. Cell bio is a difficult class, but he really did everything possible to help his students succeed. Be prepared for lots of dense lectures and lots of studying before exams. The problem sets he gives out are super helpful and very similar to the exams. Very evident that he cares and wants students to do well.

Taking this class post covid & in person, he has you watch prerecorded lectures and then uses class time to answer any questions people have about the content. Its a shame bc I heard he was a great lecturer which we dont get anymore because of the prerecorded videos. He is really nice though and although the class is hard, hes a good choice

Cell bio is hard, but Dr. Daggett is really good at presenting the information in a clear way. His problem set questions resemble a lot of the exam problems which is the best way to study. He also takes 2-3 hours the night before the exam to answer questions. Seems like a very genuine guy. It does require a lot of time outside class so be prepared

Daggett, if you ever read this, you are the sole reason why I didn't give up on MCB courses. After doing terribly in biochem, and ok on the first exam, we sat down together and you helped me with my studying techniques, we even discussed for an hour about 1 question, and I've gotten all A's since then. The best professor I've had here. Undeniably

The way the class was structured was perfect for me. Do everything he assigns or you'll fall behind, there is a lot of very detailed material and you can't cram it before the exam. Keep up w/ the problem sets, be sure you understand it, & study from those! I am biased, I found the material riveting. I hope you like cell bio.

In order to do well in this class, you need to seriously do the problem sets. His exams have the exact same format as his homework sets but will switch around the question. That being said, the best way to do well is go thru the set, writing down why each answer is correct but also why the other answers are wrong.

Class only graded by 4 exams so if don't do well on exams, you're doomed. Problem sets really help prepare for the exams and really know why each answer is correct and not correct. It was a flipped format where you watch lectures before class and during class he sometimes goes over problem set questions.

You're SOLELY on 4 exams. You watch 3, 1 hour lectures a week and answer ~15-20 problem set questions each and go over those in class. He is very nice and goes in depth to answer any question. the exams are VERY similar to the PS questions. Take his advice on how to study for exams. DO NOT FALL BEHIND. Stay on track and you'll really enjoy it.

Make sure to stay on top of things. The flipped format makes it so easy to fall behind. I recommend going to class even though it's not mandatory, Dr. Daggett remembers who shows up and even though they can be boring they can be really helpful as well as help you stay on track. Dr. Daggett wants his students to succeed so use the tools he gives you

I ended up having to withdraw from this course. That being said, Dr. Daggett was not the reason. Instead, I did not keep up with the lectures and problem sets. If you plan on taking this class in the future, do NOT be like me and you will be successful.

The only issue with this class is that there are only four exams and no assignments or HW or extra credit. If you mess up on any exam, you mess up the grade and need to do better on the other exams. That being said, if you keep up with the problem sets, Daggett's exams tend to be super similar to those. He cares about his students a lot though!

He's honestly a great lecturer, even in the recorded lectures. Yes there are only 4 tests, but he's not out to trick you with any of the questions. Beware, if you struggle with self-motivation or the flipped format, this class may be pretty hard! For my fellow ADHD people out there, being able to put his lectures on 2x speed kept me engaged!

Great teacher! The only downside is that it's a flipped classroom so you have to stay on track with the videos. The lectures aren't mandatory but he goes over the problem sets and it can help you understand the material more. There are four tests and they are very similar to the problem sets.

Your grade in MCB 2210 is determined by four multiple-choice exams. Dr. Daggett gives students everything they need to pass. Lectures are pre-recorded, lecture time is instead used to discuss the course material given to you. The course material you receive is similar to the exams. You NEED to watch lectures, but you'll be just fine. Do NOT skip.

Dr. Daggett is an incredible lecturer, he is very clear when teaching concepts. I'm not a fan of the flipped classroom. The class is only graded on four exams. There is no extra credit, so you have to perform really well on all four exams to get an A. I would probably take him again as a professor given the course isn't flipped.

You will get some pop-out jokes from his lecture, which is really funny. Detailed lecture videos. Only four exams to determine your final grade is a bit intimidating, but if you watch lecture videos carefully, your exams should be alright.

Dr. Daggett is a great professor. If you are interested in taking this class definitely do it! Keep in mind that there's going to be A LOT of outside lab hours that are required (coming in 10 pm), so try to take it during a more relaxed semester. Other than that it was very fun.

Daggett as a professor is fine. He is passionate and caring and loves the topic he teaches. The class is only graded by 4 exams, so if you don't do well in one exam it can make or break your final grade. No curve. Exam averages were 70s. Tough class for sure, would not recommend as an intro course. Learned a lot but spent >10 hours/week.

Lots of material to get through, exams are pretty dense and can be difficult if you don't do the practice exams. Flipped classroom format, so you have to watch lectures on your own time which I didn't like. Your grade is based on 4 exams, but that is the only work all semester. Watch the lectures do the problem sets and you will be fine.

At first I thought this class would be very difficult with the 4 exams being your entire grade, however Dr. Daggett provides the adequate materials to succeed. Lecture videos and review sessions are great, also very helpful reviewing exams, generally very amiable. My only critique is the exam questions are more like mind games. Overall very solid.

Dr. Dagget was engaging in cell journal club. We met once a week and presented a review of a journal article. He would read the article prior, and help you understand it if need be, especially knowledgeable with dev cell. The class is pass/fail so as long as you present a journal article, attend the rest, and write a summary of 1, u pass.

This is a flipped classroom meaning that you watch lectures on your own and you ask questions in class. The nice thing about this course if the problem sets that he gives you. They are very similar to the exams, so much so that i recommend studying off the problem sets for your exam prep. Also, you're graded only on 4 exams.

Dr. Daggett enjoys what he teaches and it shows. The lab itself is fun and the vibe is very chill. Lots of microinjecting. It is graded on a few quizzes and two long lab reports. There is a lot of required out of class time you must return to the lab, so make sure you have room in your schedule outside of class if you plan on taking this lab.

Professor Daggett was a great professor, but beware the vast majority of the course is asynchronous and you need to keep up on the videos. Flashcards and understanding the problem sets he gives you are critical to doing well in this class.

Prof seems like a kind guy who cares about his students but it is a flipped format which can be tough. Your grade consists of the average of four exam grades and that's it, no homework, quizzes, etc. It seems good in theory but you NEED to do well on all exams to get a solid grade. Make sure to study the problem sets more than the slides to review

Dr. Daggett is such an amazing person/professor. He was super accessible outside of class and so understanding of extenuating circumstances. I didn't do well on my first exam and set up a meeting and he sat with me for almost an hour going over each question in detail. He really wants his students to do well. Problem sets are very similar to exams.

Highly recommend this course! If you just watch his lectures, don't fall behind and do his problem sets (go over each question!!) you will be more than prepared for his exams. He provides all the resources—put in the effort, and you'll succeed! BUT your grade is based only on 4 online, lockdown exams-keep that in mind if tests aren't your strength.

Although they can be long, watch his lectures and you will do just fine in the course. Gives PLENTY of practice problems to make sure you understand the material. grade is made entirely from 4 exams so make sure you do good on them.

Professor Daggett is a very knowledgeable and compassionate teacher, but his class is only graded on 4 exams, so be prepared to lock in and watch his lecture videos, which he posts online. This class is also a flipped course, so you watch the lectures on your own time and then come to class to review practice problems. Attendance isn't mandatory.

Cell/Developmental journal club is a single hour a week, and can be taken for one undergraduate credit. Daggett always brings his own interesting points (and is a pleasant person to speak with) regardless of whoever is leading discussion at the time. Lead at least one paper discussion, write up a summary at the end of the semester, simple.

Super nice and understanding professor. I went through a personal issue during the course, and he fully listened, understood, and helped me through it. The course is not easy; you need to study and be on time with the lectures. He's very open to office hours to explain any doubts. 10/10 professor

Dr. D is a great lecturer (explanations were great in his videos imo) and incredibly nice, but his format is incredibly annoying. The material is very very dense and exams are alright - sometimes they were similar to problem sets and other times there were things that were so niche. This course takes up A LOT of time. I'm relieved it's over.
