Very easy teacher, 50 multiple choice exams, no mechanisms required.

He is really boring, but at least he's easy to understand. I found the tests were not too bad as long as I studied his notes and read the book. Try to get old tests from someone so you can see what the format is like, because theyre not that similar to the Practice Quizzes he posts online.

His lecture slides, notes and study guides are very organized and very very helpful. Some people thought he was boring to listen to, he's not an entertainer, but you can tell that he loves what he does. Very helpful and cares about students. I would definitely take another of his classes.

Took this summer term... Adolph is boring but clear as day. If you show up, take good notes and use his supplimental materials (notes, slides and study guides), you'll know 90% of the exam content. Read the text for the rest, esp. the boxed stories... He'll pull a few questions from there! Three 50-question, multiple-choice exams; no busy work.

Very clear, consistent teaching style. Although very boring, if you grab a coffee and head to class (along with reading the book and using his supplemental materials) you'll learn all you need to know. He isn't a tricky tester and very straightforward. Put in the work and you'll get a good grade.

He writes some of the most brutal exams I've ever had to take. You would have to memorize the textbook to actually have a fair shot at every question. He test for tiny inconsequential details, completely fails to test for understanding of broad important themes and concepts in biochemistry. Exams expectations seem to be set up for biochem majors.

Professor Adolf's lectures are very clear and helpful. His exams are hard, he tests on the very minute details. the exams come completely from the lecture notes. he uses curves but it doesn't help much, but if show up for the lectures and learn the notes inside out you will do fine. I got an A without reading the text at all.

Adolph is incredibly boring and will challenge your motivation to show up to class each day. However, his exams are straight forward. His slides, notes, and practice exams have 98% of what you need. I never read the textbook and still came out with an A in the course.

His lectures were extremely organized and clear. Everything was available online including his own lecture notes. He wasn't exciting but he was very clear in his delivery of the information and with regard to what you need to know on an exam and what you don't. NEVER TOUCHED THE BOOK and got an A. But did know every detail from the materials online

The lectures are very dry and he often reads the slides verbatim in lecture. The exams are 50 questions and multiple choice but he likes to test on seemingly unimportant and minute details. Use all of the resources he provides online and know the slides by heart. I got an A by basically memorizing the lecture slides. I didn't use the book very much

This class is best taken after genetics. He isn't an engaging professor, but he is crystal clear. His slides do NOT offer the detail he looks for on exams. I recommend going to class, recording the lecture, and taking notes on what he SAYS. A bit of a snooze fest, but stay on top your stuff and you'll do fine.

Prof Adolph's online slides are all you'll need to do well on the course. His practice exams are useful too. He's pretty clear about what he wants you to know on the exams if you ask, but doesn't explicitly state these things in lecture.

People need to stop being babies. This is a biochemistry course. It's hard. It's entirely test-based. But if you actually take the time to ask him questions after class or visit him during office hours, he is VERY clear and VERY helpful. He does care about you IF you show interest in doing better. He provides plenty of study material - study early!

3 exams, multiple choice. Go to class take notes on his slides and what he writes on the board. Don't need the book unless you need to clear up a conceptual aspect. Talk to him at office hours to clear up questions. Content wise, just need his slides and the provided lecture notes. Provides study guide and practice quiz. Work hard, A is possible.

I'm slightly surprised by the feedback I've read on Dr. Adolph. If you go to lecture and listen intently (get over his lack of enthusiasm), you'll find he explains things extremely well. He tests on very specific facts from lecture, so know the slides well and write anything he says twice down. You'll have to work for the A, but not too hard.

Don't read the textbook. Material for exam is based entirely on slides, lecture notes, and study guide. Memorized every slide and small details he emphasizes. I got mid 90s on every exam. 2 40 question midterms, 70 question(20q cumulative) final. Didn't attend lecture. Fairly easy. Keys to success memorize everything.

Mostly monotonous and not too exciting, but you get the message and the information you need. Bring coffee and listen well and you'll do fine on the multiple choice exam.

It's biochem. It's not going to be a walk through the park. He really knows his stuff, but he is very monotone. Exams are multiple choice and easy if you study the material he goes through. I didn't use the textbook once that semester. Just grab a coffee and focus in lecture.

Monotone. Most ppl did not come to lectures - did well. Material is VERY interesting. I loved it. But, 3 exams ask mostly very specific questions. MEMORIZE. You can learn slides and get at least B. With average time A- is not hard to get. No office hours. Not much help. But material is not that hard. All MC's. Final exam has 25% cumulative info.

Adolph was extremely articulate and presented the information very clearly from the slides. If you are not willing to go to this class in the morning do not take it as not going to class will make the course much more difficult. The exams are specific but there will not be trick questions just questions that are specific from info on the slides.

Pr. Adolph is a relaxed, endearing biochem professor! A must-attend-lecture class, he gives you all the info you need for the exams on his lecture slides and verbally in class. He is very straightforward and helpful when asking questions. You are only graded on three exams, so make sure you stay on top of the material and study hard! Take Adolph!!

In addition to posting class slides online, Professor Adolph provides very helpful study guides and additional lecture notes on Moodle. Material on exams are taken directly from lectures and powerpoint slides. To get a good grade, you just need to attend the lectures and study (memorize) information from the powerpoints. Highly recommend!

Everything Professor Adolph says in lecture will be on the exam. Although I messed up on my first exam, I excelled on the last two by going to class. I would also record his lectures and listen to them before the exams. If you want a straight forward professor, I would encourage you to take him!

Professor Adolph is a very straight forward instructor! He explains all the concepts in great detail so it is in your best interest to go to lecture, considering the exams are largely based on the details not just the overall concepts. I would definitely recommend his course!

I would definitely recommend this biochemistry course. He isn't the most entertaining professor during lecture, but if you come to lecture and listen to him and write down everything he writes on the board, his tests will be easy. Print his slides before each lecture and take notes and getting an A in the course won't be a problem.

Reading from the book isnt required and all the exam materials are from the resources he gives. Although his lectures are very repetitive and boring, he gives a lot of materials for you to study from. Just attend lectures, take notes, and study what he gives out and youll be fine.

Kenneth is a boring lecturer, but explains things in a clear and understandable way. Do not bother buying a textbook, just study everything on his powerpoints and what he writes on the board. Though non-mandatory, lectures are helpful. His lecture notes he posts online are also helpful. An easy A if you give yourself plenty of time to study.

Dry lecturer, but clear lecturer. Willing to answer questions after class and to schedule office hours as well. If you ask, he will tell you exactly what you need to know for exams. Just 3 exams determine your grade and they are loosely curved (generously) based on how the whole class does. I would recommend taking this class with Dr. Adolph.

Exams are 50 m/c questions, based completely on material he lectures on. No final exam. The textbook is optional, don't buy it. Exams are fair and completely what you would expect. Highly recommend him!

Professor Adolph may not have the most interesting lectures, but he explains everything well and you can tell he really loves biochem. Your whole grade is based on three multiple-choice exams, however, if you show up to class, take notes, and review well for the exams, you will be fine. He is also very willing to answer questions outside of class.

Dr. Adolph is a very boring lecturer and you don't need to go to class as long as you study EVERYTHING on the powerpoints Grading criteria is not clear but he says usually 85% and above is an A. My advice: take class notes with all the pictures from the ppts and add to that with the notes he has on canvas. Then make flashcards for everything!

Lectures can be boring sometimes, but he gives you everything you need to know in a way that most professors don't. Grade is curved very generously, so you don't have to be the perfect student to do well. Lots of memorization, but most of it was easy, I only used flash cards for the amino acids. If you're interested in the topic you will do well.

His tests are very fair! Make sure you study every single detail in the slides he provides. Very accessible outside of class.

I got a B unfortunately, however, it was not because of Professor Adolph. I made the mistake of falling behind on lectures which caused me to cram for exams and quizzes. To succeed, watch the lectures and annotate the LECTURE NOTES. Then MEMORIZE these annotations. Finally, take the PRACTICE QUIZZES before the exam/quiz.

Very straight forward class. Watch the lectures and memorize every little detail on the slides and you will get an A. Do not get the textbook or use outside resources, you just need to memorize the slides. Very simple class!

Kenneth is a literal angel. His exams were only based off of what he discussed throughout his lectures and his slides that went along with them. The only downside is your grade is based off of 3 exams, but it's his own grading scale. Exams this semester were in person. Great guy, only outside work is studying for the exams. No homework or quizzes

This class was stressful in that your grade is based on only 3 exams, but I crammed for exams and still managed to get an A. Although some reviews suggest memorizing everything on the slides, I wouldnt recommend doing that. Just make sure you understand the material and that you can summarize it in your own words. Drawing the diagrams was helpful.

Only graded on 3 exams, he makes his own curve with the test averages as a B. Incredibly boring lectures, but if you memorize everything on the slides and know info about them it's honestly not that bad. Only 3 exams seems risky but so many people cram for his exams and end up above average, not a bad prof for a generally difficult subject.

Some background: I dropped out of OChem and still took this. Adolph is dry theirs no denying that, but exam questions come straight from the slides. I've scored >90% on both exams. My advice: make 2 note cards for each slide he has and go over them periodically and you'll be fine. He also curves and posts recorded lectures if you miss class.

Your entire grade is based off of 3 exams which is kind of scary, but all of the questions come directly from lecture slides and notes. Professor Adolph can be a bit dry but he's the sweetest person. If you miss class all of his lectures posted. Take good notes and go through lecture slides multiple times and you'll do fine!!

Lots of memorization straight from the slides so would def recommend studying earlier and using flashcards. Also I found that printing out the lecture notes and annotating along to lecture was very beneficial! The class was hard but I thought Kenneth was still a really great prof and provided resources for students.

prof adolph is so kind and helpful. i had to make up an exam and he was really nice about it. this class is also graded on four exams (no busy work, which i liked) so if you're a good test taker it'll be a breeze. biggest piece of advice: watch the lecture videos he posts and memorize every word. each exam is 40 mc questions, not overly difficult

Professor Adolph's class is all about memorization, but the slides and practice exams are super helpful. Definitely use Unstuck ai and other study tools to prepare. It's a challenging course, but manageable if you stay on top of the material.

I personally loved his lecture style but it was definitely rough only having exams and no busywork to boost my grade. Anything and everything could be on his exams so memorize all study materials he gives you and you'll be fine. Attendance isn't required but I went to all lectures and he adds stuff he doesn't put on his slides, so I recommend going
