Very nice, understanding professor!!! Willing to listen, chat with his students. Has a pragmatic sense of humor. I would take him again, if I was a major in biology! Take Mr. Jayachandran! He wont disapoint!!! The only thing he should improve on is the difficulty of his exams!!!Super Prof!KUDOS!YEY!
DR.JAYACHANDRAN IS A GREAT TEACHER.LIKES TO TALK TO EVERYBODY.HE'S FULL OF INFO.I REALLY RECOMMEND HIM AND I WOULD DEFINITLY TAKE HIM AGAIN.HIS TEST ARE SOME WHAT HARD JUST STUDY.HE HAS A GREAT ATTITUDE.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND MR. SUNJAY HE IS VERY HELPFUL AND BEST OF ALL HE IS DOWN TO EARTH!
He is very helpful and explains ambiguous material.
Gives a study guide. however, we must do the reading. Is always available to answer questions. keeps my interest peaked because he shows his enthusiasm for the subject. not only that, he is very knowledgeble about this subject. (He knows his stuff!)
Mr. Jayachandran is on of the nicest and dedicated teachers at Mission. He shows alot of interest towards his students. I learned and enjoyed his class.
Dr. Sunjay is an excellent professor who cares about the academic success of his students. I highly recommend him.
Dr. Sunjay is one of a kind. Not only is he knowleadgeable in science, he has insight knowledge in cultures, music and politics. He is a fun professor and I highly recommend him.
Dr. Sunjay posseses the knowledge, charisma, and energy that a professor would need to reach to the students attention. He is extremely devoted to his students success in the class. SUN J I tip my hat top you, and don't forghet to finish reading the book. EMO ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!
Dr. Sunjay is a wonderful teacher! Not only is he extremely intelligent but he's very easy to talk to. He will explain subject matter until he's sure you fully understand it. I would recommend any student at Mission, those interested in Biology and those who aren't!!
Good Teacher

Great professor! Clearly explains the material and hands out a study guide for upcoming tests. If you don't understand something he does not hesitate to eplain again. He has good communication with the students and it's a comfortable classroom environment.
Dr. Sunjay is absolutely amazing! He was highly recommended by a former student. If he taught a class I needed in the future I would without any hesitation take his class in a heart beat! He is open to any question/suggestion you may have. Dr. Sunjay is by far one of the best professor's I have had in my college career. Take him and you'll see why.
Interesting class. The labs are fun and easy. The professor is nice and helpful. And he's hot too!!
Sunjay is probably the best teacher I've ever had!!!!He is very approachable, helpful, and down to earth...He'll keep you laughing during lab...BE SURE TO ASK LOTS OF QUESTIONS, HE LOVES ANSWERING QUESTIONS!!!!!He's for the students, very refreshing....SO TAKE SUNJAY---YOU WON'T REGRET IT AT ALL!!!
Sunjay made a class I took in high school seem somewhat fun again. He is very kind, easy, and approachable. Talk to him about anything, but he loves sports and politics, which will get you on his good side. I fully recommend him!
HES COOL HE LIKES IMMORTAL TECHNIQUE!!!
Sunjay is the best! If you need to take biology, take it with him. He's so down to earth and easy going. He gives out study guides prior to the exam. Show up to class, take notes and you'll be fine. There is no one better than Sunjay!! I wish all the professors were like him.
Sanjay is so rad! He likes Hendrix enough said.

Wow, I can't say enough about Sunjay. He is the best prof u'll ever have. u might've heard this but he really is great.very helpfull,easy to talk to,make sure u just show up to class, take notes and go to lab. he gives u the study guides prior to the exam and if u study those u'll be set. the most fun I've ever had in a class and still learned alot
This class was difficult for me because I have NEVER taken a bilogy class and did not comprehend to much of it. I ended up with a C and I was satisfied...attend class, go over study guide, attend lab and you should be fine.
Pretty fair and understanding to students needs.
Best teacher I've ever had! Helpful & super nice....has a vested interest in helping the students learn, as long as you try and work hard. Follow the study guides before each test, take good lecture notes and attend class and you'll be fine.
Sanjay is a great professor and definitely knows what he is talking about.His class is not easy if you actually want an A. He is a straight forward professor and does not try to trick you. attendance is a must if you want to do well. Labs are very important. Can use any bio book. If you are a serious bio student, take Sanjay.
Dr. SunJay is the best bio professor at Mission! He is laid back, very helpful, and not difficult. You dont even need the textbook. He gives you study guides 2 weeks before the exam. Just study those and you'll do fine! Exams are multiple choice. Answers all your questions. Easy and fun lab! I dislike Bio, but I passed with a B! Highly Recommended!
Dr. Jayachandran is very knowledgeable. I enjoyed his class and really learned a lot. He reviews before tests, which is really helpful. Attendance, good note taking, and lab participation are very important.
LOVE THE CLASS. WOULD TAKE IT AGAIN,HE IS VERY HELPFUL AND FUNNY. YOU GOT TO TAKE HIS CLASS!!!!!!!!!
He is a really nice teacher very helpfull. his test really easy you learn a lot with him.. He makes you love the class very cool teacher i loved him.... EASY TO PASS!!! (I DIDN'T LIKE BIO UNTIL I TOOL HIS CLASS THEN I BEGAN TO LOVE BIO) HIS GREAT!
Sanjay is awesome. He makes biology interesting and he is very helpful. Attending lab is very important. He reviews before every quiz. Sanjay likes to socialize. He befriends everyone he meets. Take Sanjay!!! I highly recommend his class.
just need to keep up with all the studying and everythings fine. gets harder later when you take your other bio courses, so its great having a good professor for once
Jumps around a lot during lectures, explains labs well, short quiz after ea. lab, gives gd study guide & reviews B4 ea. exam, grades on a curve/points system
Sunjay is the best professor by far that I've had in my history of professors!!! Basically, copy everything from the board and use a tape recorder when he goes over the study guide and u should get an A! Overall, a great, easy class but I also learned a lot!!!!!
He is the best prof for Bio...he's very understanding and can ask any questions you want. You basically need to know everything that he lectures in class. he gets back to you very fast..lec & lab exams..I would recommend him!!
the best teacher ever!! you gotta take him, he's very easy going and dosen't require any textbook, all the exams are based on his notes in the class :)
Sunjay is the best professor at mission college! You can ask him any questions and he will always be willing to help! Put time and effort into the class and you will surely get an A!!!!!!! I wish he taught physiology =( LOVED HIS CLASS!!!!
This handsome devil is the best teacher i have ever had. He explains everything with clarity and makes sure that one should understand it. ps; his appearance is easy on the eyes. (wink wink)
Last night i had a dream about Mr. Sanjay and he married me! He is the best teacher. i learned everything in his class. it was a great dream because we had babies. and our babies knew everythingnabout biology.
Dr. Sunjay is the world's best teacher. I love him so much.
A biology GOD. sighs* so dreamy.
If you go to class and pay attention you will pass this class. Sanjay is a great teacher and really keeps you engaged in the lecture.
He is a hot stud! <3 you will learn so much in one semester. amazing!
Greta Professor. Learned A lot. Dont know prebiovus poster was talking about. Half the class was spent on review
Great Professor wants to see his students succeed. Great Lectures, gives a study guide before each test and goes over it. He wants students to ask questions so that they understand the material and if you put time into this class, you will pass. Take this guy for biology you wont regret it he makes it fun and you will end up learning a lot about bi
Teacher is friendly, approachable, and willing to answer questions during breaks and before/after class. He was highly recommended from a few people at my job, and I'm glad I took their recommendation. Study the book/notes and you'll do just fine.
yo sanjay is the coolest ever!!!!! Its been 7 yrs since the last time i went to school and i was scared to taek bio as my welcome back clas,but with sanjay teaching it it was like i never left school.hes awesome i cant say enough about how great of a teacher and person he is.thanks sanjay for making bio fun.
amazing
He is a hell of a teacher and wants nothing more for his students than to pass the class. For those who arn't that great at Biology he is the professor to take; the key is to "ask questions" or if your a shy one like me, email him. He's very prompt to answer. Lectures are informative, and he reviews prior to exams.
One of the few teachers who are truly passionate for biological science. Will explain information multiple times if asked, which makes the information stick. Drops 1 of four exams (lowest grade). He curves, but is not necessary since his lectures correspond to tests 100%. Enjoy this professor. He is one you'll never forget. -sagarsyndrome
Sunjay is simply amazing no doubt.Best prof you will come across in your life time.I learned so much from him in one semester.His class is very interestig and informative at the same time.Test are straight from the study guides and as long as you study a bit before its a guaranteed A.He is FANTABULOUS!you will be so lucky to be in his class =P
One of my best prefessors. You learn and enjoy the class. No need to buy the book. Take very good notes. Gives study guide. Test is based on the study guide. If you study the guide you'll A's the test. Multiple choice. Lap work is in groups.
Dr. Sanjay knows his stuff very well. I had all b's on his test and aced his final. Attendance is mandatory class/lab. MUST take VERY good notes and a little bit of searching. Overall Great Class!
Great professor-I dont know what the previous student was talking about. His lectures were very interesting
Great professor. Don't space out in class, take notes, and attend; you will do fine. He makes biology not seem like a drag. Highly recommend
Great Instructor. Go to class and take good notes and you will get an A for sure. He is easy to understand relatable. Highly recommend taking his class.
The best professor of all time! The best professor of all students! Take his class or you may regret!
he is the best proffesor ever!! take this class with him. take good notes and you will be fine. he actually gives study guides so you must pass his class
Amazeballs ! He passed me with a C and i never studied. Get to know him, study a little and you will for sure pass !
The best professor and man I have ever met. Very clear and extremely helpful and explains the stuff very well till you get it. You just have to attend to every class, take notes and pay attention and you will do great. The tests are easy and multiple choice and he always goes over the study guide before the test. I will miss Mr. Sunjay's class....
A truly great professor. His instructions are very clear & easy to follow. He is helpful and explains the material with a common sense approach. Attend the class, take notes and pay attention. You will be fine. I would also suggest that you try to partner up with other students to help each other with studying. It does make the class even easier.
I attended every lecture and took notes every day.I also studied for each exam.Hes a good teacher and gets his point across, in order to pass you need to take notes. its a lot of information. You dont need the book but if you plan on missing lectures get it, my suggestion is you dont miss the lecture! oh and lab is fairly easy. I missed it twice.
Amazing Professor!! I took Biology 3 with another prof and I was lost and dropped class. Prof J explains Biology in simple form. Gives study guide for every test(pls do it will help you) Makes it easy but you still need to study hard. Goes over study guide and gives answers. Record Study guide Lectures (Important)will help you pass exams. SO COOL
I gave him low score too discourage people who thinks this course is a walk in the park. If you memorize the notes you will get A. If you slack around and dont look at your notes you will most likely get a D.
The best biology teacher in mission I had friends who took other professors who continually complained aboutso much work and quizzes they had he makes biology easy to understand he always makes himself available to help you at all times my fav class this semester
Best biology professor in mission my friends had other bio classes that I tried to crash didn't want to add me he added everyone that crashed also he makes biology very easy to understand and very interesting u can use any biology book exams are basely on lecture though my fave class this semester
Biology is not an easy subject you can just slack on. Sunjay is a very good teacher. He made biology easy to understand. This was actually my favorite class of the semester. Having a study group really helps :) Make sure you study your notes and you'll be fine. Not to mention Sunjay is a nice guy and is always available if you need help. Take him!
this professor is the best teacher i never have, i wish he teach micro.i learn so much from him . take him
This professor is amazing he is so helpful and try to make every body understand . He provide a study guide and go over it before the test. This professor always willing to help you. I surly recommend him he is greatttttttt.
Hands down best Science professor I have EVER had. Makes Bio fun and easy to understand. If he taught other sciences I would take him. He is great and passionate for what he does.
Very laid back professor. Very laid back class/lab. Lectures are difficult to keep up with since he writes everything on the board himself..no power points/images. The study guide would help..if he went over it slower,
Is the best
class is very easy if you take notes and do the study guide he gives before the test day.
Best teacher ever. Not an easy class but if you take good notes youll be ok. No book really needed just know well the study guides he gives out and youll do super good in the class. Great sense of humor and very helpful with anything you dont understand. Loved his class. Highly recommend if you want to learn and enjoy a class at the same time.
Sanjay is a great professor, is helpful during class and outside if you email him for help. Book is helpful at times but not necessary. Do the study giode and you will do good on the tests.
This Professor is great! He truly cares for his students and wants them all to pass. The book is not required and he gives a study guide two weeks before the test. He is available literally 24/7 and gives a review a day before the test. He is awesome! take notes, study and you will pass! Biology is not an easy subject but he makes it easy!TAKE HIM!
I highly recommend this professor. Studying the study guides is a must. Cares about his students. Take him. Likes to finish labs fast so that you don't have to spend the whole 3 hours in lab.
This is class is not easy. What makes it easy and fun is the professor and they way he explains his lectures. First day of class i wanted to drop it. came home almost crying however but stuck it through. Text book not required as long as you takes good notes. all that is discussed in lecture is what will be on the test. great professor who cares.
Great Professor. Labs are long. Lab quizzes can be difficult
Best teacher ever. He cares about all his students and makes sure everyone understands the material. Its not an easy class but he makes it sound so fun that it makes you want to go to class. Hes very helpful and is available to help at any time. He gives super helpful study guides and has review day to prepare you for the exam. You must take him
Indeed a great teacher. His classes are very interesting to the point to be into them. You need to really pay attention and take good notes, or else you will not do so well on his exams, which are quite hard and tricky.
good professor in mission college ...
Fantastic professor. Learned a lot!
You will learn a lot ! Clear on all his lectures, skipping one day will make it harder to catch up & understand the material, moves along very quickly so you must take really good notes! Tests & lab quizzes are tricky & tough! You must prepare yourself really well, not an easy A!
Go to class and take good notes. His study guides are super helpful. I liked that he challenges students to think simply instead of overcomplicating things. Great teacher! He is always there to answer any questions. As long as you are not lazy, you will learn a lot from this class and best of all get a fair grade.
He is one of the best professors at SMC! I learned a lot from his class. Textbooks aren't mandatory because his tests are based off from his lectures. He is very passionate about what he teaches and knows what he's talking about
Great professor. My favorite science course taken. Very helpful, but if you don't try you will not pass
breaks down material very well. encourages you to think simply. only teaches info you need to know. Of course its not an easy A. if you take good notes, record the lectures and actually study you're sure to pass his class. gives excellent study guides, and a small quiz at the end of every lab. HIGHLY recommend!!
Great professor! He helps with everything, his lecture are very interesting ,he's very smart his study guides are great, but study if you really want to get a good grade. take him! If you're willing to learn.
Dr. Sanjay is one of the best professors I've ever had! He's straight forward and really knows his stuff. He's really easy to talk to as well. Some of my favorite moments in this class were the casual off-topic conversations where we just got to know each other. He's clearly passionate about his work and always reminds you not to over think it.
Great professor. Took him for Biology 03 and Passed with an A. Show up to class because there are no powerpoint, books or etc to review everything is old school oral given lectures. Record them. Gives study guide which if done you'll for sure receive an A. I loved this professor!
Really Good at explaining anything you do not understand, either during or after class. Very patient and inspiring! Never thought I would like Biology or understand it as much as I do now and that is all from this one man. Just read and show up to class!
Make sure to never miss record the study guide review only and memorize your notes he's super chill!!!!!! you'll pass if you try
very intelligent, knows the material really good, very helpful, uses very simple vocabulary and expressions. His lectures makes sense, he uses common logic to explain many topics which makes it easy to understand even hard topics. Lecture is really important. I would take him again if I could.
I am an art major and was not looking forward to a mandatory biology lecture and lab course. However, Taking professor Sanjay was amazing. He is a great instructor, you'll learn a ton during his lectures. All exams are based on Lectures, NOTES are a MUST!! Be prepared, his New York personality is heavy, but that's also what makes him great.
Professor Sanjay is a great professor overall. He is not an easy A, but you will definitely have fun throughout the course. His lectures are clear and well organized and thoroughly prepared. I would definitely recommend him if you want a greater understanding of biology.
Definitely take Dr. Jayachandrans classes- I was very impressed! I never thought I'd like biology this much, which was all due to our professor. The classes were interesting, particularly with visual aid and diagrams, as well as labs, which made us grab the material even faster. Fair tests. Always ready to help. Take his classes, you won't regret!
Don't skip lecture or lab. Make sure to record lectures, it really helps when reviewing test study guides. Great teacher, you won't regret. Good Luck.
RECORD THE LECTURES!!!! It's not an easy A, but if you put in the work and STUDY HARD before exams, you'll be fine.
He is the best teacher, he wants you to pass and undertsand the material. He will not move on unless everyone gets it. He is pretty easy as long as you do your work. He dosen't stess you out very easy going. BEST PROFESSOR EVER I WOULD TAKE HIM OVER A ILLLION TIMES GOT AN A IN HIS CLASS.
Best Professor!! I took him in the Fall semester, the class was once a week so its pretty obvious you need to study and you can't skip a class. His lectures are amazing, he allows recording his lectures so you can re-hear them to fill in the missing gaps. He is accessible outside the class and goes above and beyond to help. He made BIO super fun!!
I took this professor for Biology 003, 2019. Participation matters, take notes, be ready to put in the work in Labs. Mandatory attendance to receive a good grade. Had about 5 exams and a little over 12 labs. All were neutral if you study and study and study. Would recommend him. He cares about you learning the material. Very good professor.
Professor Sanjay is a great teacher! He tries to make it easy for you to understand the material and gives you a study guide for your tests. He is patient and easy going. I recommend taking his class!
First the bad. He is quiet, sit close. He can be rude but its because he cares. Lectures aren't always clear. Now the good. The class is simple and never felt insanely difficult. If you want to pass, RECORD THE LECTURES and take good notes. Also, read the lab packets. Exams are 70% OF GRADE so show up for review. Take notes, read labs, pass.
Prof. Jayachandran is a really amazing & caring professor. If you prove to him that you genuinely want to learn & care about your grade he will make sure that you will do well in the class. With that said, don't take his kindness for weakness. It is still a biology class and you will have to put effort in to succeed. Take his course if you can!!!!!
I love being in Professor Sanjay's class. He is real passionate about his students learning the language of Biology. His lectures can move fast, but he is always ready to answer any questions via email or by texting him. First day of class he makes it clear what his expectations are. He has a great sense of humor, but he takes class very serious
took proffesor for bio and lab online due to covid , he will send recorded zoom meetings, every test and quiz is based on the notes given and said on the meeting, you wont pass without those notes. lab requires you to finish math manual for that day. hes super chill back , cool to talk to , not rude at all, will deff take him again.
Professor Jayachandran is such an awesome professor. I like the way he I like his teaching method. He teaches like as if he's having a conversation with you about a whole plethora of interesting subjects within Biology. Not to mention, you don't need a book in his class! I definitely recommend him to anyone.
Such a cool Professor! I recommend taking him. He is laid back and the material is straight forward. Obviously pay attention in class, read the book, and do the lab because the quizzes are based off of that. If everyone participates, then class can be fun because he is very conversational.
I'm not the best at science but Professor Jayachandran was able to explain difficult concepts really well. To do well in the class, make sure to put aside extra time to rewatch lectures and take notes because the tests are dependent on the lectures. The study guides he gives are also really helpful.
Professor Sanjay is so awesome! Loved his class. Straight forward and easy to understand. Just review his lectures via zoom recordings and take notes. Very laid back guy! Wish he taught other biology class.
Wish I can choose all of the positive tags above to describe Prof Jayachandran. He is caring and laid back, he made Bio class fun and easy for me. He genuinely wants you to be successful but do your part by participating in class, take notes and do homework. Thank you, Prof Sanjay Jayachandran! I will forever be grateful to be your student.
Professor Jayachandran is a fantastic professor. He is caring, and he wants his students to do good in class and teach you about the bio. world. He replied fast to text/question. Attendance is important as well as taking notes. It will help you to study for the quiz and exam, it's all based on the lecture. Put in the work and you'll do great.
Prof. J is a caring teacher,and if you want to pass or get that A,you will. He is always available to answer questions and encourages the class to participate. Quizzes are from the lab(which he explains)and tests are directly from lecture. Write it all down! Drops your lowest test grade out of the first four. No extra credit, but you won't need it!
He is wonderful! Take the class you won't regret I promise you! English is not my first language. Lecture is easy! We had some study guides and explanations! Lab was super easy and fun! He makes you learn real life biology! He is so understanding and supportive! I loved loved loved the class! He makes you feel confident and comfortable at class.
Most points come from tests, he makes sure to go through everything on the tests so there are no surprise questions/subjects. The class will be difficult if you aren't very good at taking notes or following along. Other than that he is an excellent prof. who makes you feel comfortable enough to ask questions.
The professor was clear about his lectures easy to follow. He also even reminds his students to study after every lecture. He has everything on canvas such as exam guides. Thank you so much professor for teaching us this I will truly miss you.
class is clear, well-organized, and easy to follow. He explains things in a way that makes difficult topics simpler to understand. He is caring, supportive, and always willing to help students succeed. Assignments and tests are fair and cover what's taught in class. Overall, it's a great class that helps students learn and do well.
Prof. Jayachandran makes the course engaging. Attend class, take notes, and use unstuck ai for study prep - you'll do great in this manageable class.
Dr. Sanjay Jayachandran is an incredible teacher and a genuinely kind person. He's laid-back, supportive, and cares about his students. His online Biology 003 class was well-organized, easy to follow, and enjoyable. Do the homework, follow the study guide, and you'll do great. Thank you for everything, Professor! :)
Dr. Jayachandran's In-person class was worth taking. The pop quizzes are easy; He goes over the answers before the quiz anyways. I didn't have any homework just labs and lectures to attend to. All chapter exams are based on the notes you take. Study and you will pass. Fun Professor, understanding, and allows taking photos of notes. 100% recommend.
Great professor!
He was an excellent teacher, especially when it came to needing help on assignments or lab lectures. He was also really helpful on the lab quizzes. Most of the grades are based on exams and lab participation.
Sanjay was amazing! Everything is straight forward. To do well on the exams study your notes, and pay attention to lecture, and you will do great. Lab portion was super fun and easy. He is not a harsh grader. I recommend taking him for any Biology classes!!
Dr. Jayachandran's online biology lectures and in-person labs. The lectures were easy, watch a video and take notes. Labs were easy but confusing. You have worksheets to complete for the labs with your group, so make sure you sit with people you'll think you will get along with. For practicals print out a lot of notes!!
He is a great professor!If you show up, participate in labs, and keep your notes organized, you will do well. There's NOTHING to complain about if you put in the effort of course. Have question he will help you.
