His exams are a lot of writing, but not bad if you pay attention to his lectures. His bark is a lot worse than his bite, tries to scare you into thinking his class is the hardest course, but it is relatively easy material.

This class requires a WHOLE LOT more work than my others as first semester prepharm student, rewrite all of your lecture notes 3-4 times and you'll ace his tests. Yeah it's a lot of writing and memorizing, but in the end you've actually learned and thanks to him I know how to study for future tests in other classes and ace them. Its hard work ngl

You have to work hard to get a good grade in this class-you HAVE to rewrite your notes and study them after class, create study groups, and you MUST BE IN CLASS. Missing one day is like missing a whole week. His tests are super taxing and VERY comprehensive, but you will never find a more clear or helpful teacher. I would gladly take him again.

Tommy Lee is the freaking man! I don't care who bashes him but trust me you he is by far the best professor in LIU! You will learn more in his class than any other class. His method of teaching is amazing! If you want to learn and the same time get a good grade take him! This is what you call an educator!

Where do I begin? He is a genius who has the gift of teaching. Loves what he does. He teaches you how to study and be successful in life through studies of biology. Sure, he's tough, but if you're in pre-pharmacy and are planning on taking the pCAT, make sure you take this man. You can skip studying for the bio section if you take him. #LeeAllDay!

A very smart, forward thinking professor. Great lectures. Teaches organic chemistry so its more of a PCAT prep class. You have to put in A LOT of work if you want an A. Writing intensive! Exams are difficult not because of topics but the time given to write essay questions. Don't take if you want easy A. Rewrite notes and study with class mates.

If you want to keep your hair and your sanity avoid taking him at all costs. He will prevent you from studying for other classes to give you a C if you're lucky. He is not clear at all and loves to play mind games with you. Always shows off his NYU lab coat as well as his hoard of NYU minions. Labs are extremely hard. DO NOT TAKE You will regret it

He is probably the hardest professor at liu. Tests are all short answer and essay questions. Rewrite your notes. By the time you rewrite all your notes,you could probably write a thesis paper. Most of the notes are not just based on bio but also orgo,biochem,anatomy,etc. By the time you finish his class you would know the basics for other classes.

Great teacher without a doubt. His exams are pretty hard - not because the material is hard, but he gives so little time to have you write about 20 pages. All are essay questions. Other than that, he's not bad I guess. He cuts off points drastically so make sure to write EVERYTHING. Though, his lectures were amazing and life changing at times.

You will notice that rewriting your notes will go a long way for you. Do what he says in order to remember info. It's the only way to do well on exams since they're writing intensive. Brush up on notes 15 min before class and you'll excel without a doubt. Grabs your attention with lectures and cracks jokes left and right. Would rec for pharm majors

You will learn a lot, but he will kill your GPA not just for bio, but for other classes as well. Expect long lab reports, pop quizzes, constant revision of your notes, brutal essay exams, a dozen connect chapters due back to back, and the threat of being kicked out of class if you don't have your lab coat. If you have him, good luck.

Yes, he is a difficult professor. That being said, his classes are VERY FUN, incredibly informative and he notices effort. If you end up having him, your other classes might suffer because you need to put a lot of dedication into this one. Study the way he asks of you - by rewriting notes. His exams are exactly as he says, no surprises.

Professor Lee is awesome. While his class was challenging and extremely time consuming, I retained so much useful information. You will actually learn in his class. My advice is to make sure you write down every single thing he writes on the board and talks about; then go home and rewrite your notes. Everything that he discusses is on the exams.

Stay away for LEE if you are not trying to mess up your GPA. You do learn a lot in his class, however his exams are hard especially when it comes to lab. You have 30 seconds to answer and its either you know it, or you don't. I honestly felt like I was in med school with this professor. I had to work my tail off for the B I got in his class.

Do not take his class if you are taking more than 2 classes. His class is way too hard and too time consuming if you have a job and go to school.

If you pay attention and do what he says you will do well but you have to put in the work, it's not easy. He isn't a powerpoint reader so you have to come to class to learn.

One of the best professors I've ever had, funny, informative, keeps the class engaged. His instructing method along with test format is the reason I absorbed as much material as I did in this class. Tests are short answer/essay and are difficult, but if you rewrite your notes and put in the time and go over everything a few times, you will be ok.

You actually learn a lot in his class, and you will definitely remember what you learn from his class, because of the way he teaches it and he emphasizes the importance of rewriting out notes.
