Great professor. Although his pace is slower than others, it is easier to learn, as he incorporates humour into his lectures (which keeps us awake). Does not throw any tricks into the exam, but attending the lectures gives easy marks:D Dr.Bruce, good job!

Makes the lectures very interesting and intuitive but it is hard to pay attention because it is the same material from grade 12 biology. He cares about his students and is not trying to make you fail, very approachable and relatable. Mid-term and final exams were quite tough so 's it's best to know everything in the slides and textbook
