This professor made me feel incompetent and discouraged. He was very passive aggressive and overall I was timid to ask him for help. This professor shouted out grades of people who did well on the last exam which was so discouraging as someone who didn't do well. I felt like that could have been a personal email to those individuals.

He's a good person in general to start off. If you need help, go outside of class and ask questions, but make sure you approach him in person. He gives out good extra credit, but his tests are really hard so make sure you study. His tests are fair, but he does test on things that are the hardest and most specific. There are also no quizzes.

His exams are definitely tough but as long as you use the lecture slides and the textbook you should be fine. He is very understanding and caring when it comes to his students. He offers a lot of extra credit so go to the science seminars. Overall, it was a good class but definitely hard and expect A TON of studying.

Dr A is a really great guy. He always likes to hear feedback from his students and will give around 10% extra credit on exams. His exams are kind of difficult but put in the time and effort to study and pay attention in class, this will be a class that shapes your biology learning

Professor Arnone is very caring! I've really enjoyed having him as a lab instructor. The lab reports are difficult, and sometimes the rubric is a little unclear, but since he is very accessible outside of class, it's easy to work with him if it's a subject matter you're struggling with. I would recommend him to anyone who asks!!

He is a very kind and caring professor and genuinely wants what is best for you. There is a lot expected of students to do just for lab. There is a group presentation and lab practical all in the same week. Overall, I would recommend him for lab.

Dr. Arnone is a very kind and understanding professor. He is very accessible outside of class. The course is very hard, so there is a fair warning for that. Lectures are very dense and content is difficult. Exams are very important for this class so study and do well!

His lectures are very good. He provides study guides for each lecture he gives; these are extremely helpful for the exams. He is an easy grader, but not in an everyone-passes kind of way; rather, he is very easy to talk to, and his exams are very straightforward (no trick questions).

His teaching requires you to know what you're doing and it may be hard to do well if you don't. Come to lab prepared and read the lab manual. There are quizzes almost every class and you'll do well if you read the lab manual thoroughly. He's kind, helpful, and accessible if you need help! The lab does expect a lot so be ready for heavy coursework.
