Grace Spatafora

Personally, this course was incredibly interesting, but Prof Spatafora's teaching style is not for everyone. I was lucky to have had a good understanding in general of most of the topics covered, so i had an easier time understanding her lectures, but without a foundational understanding of biology, it is really difficult to interpret her slides and to understand what she is trying to teach. She is incredibly kind though and the TAs are pretty helpful, but I would not take this class lightly.

Dr. Spatafora is extremely knowledgable about the subjects she teaches, which translates. However, this is not a class you can give half effort in -- to succeed on her exams you need to have an extremely in depth knowledge of the material so you can answer her application questions. She is really hard, but if you utilize the TAs and use the homeworks as learning and studying opportunities, you will do well!

I really enjoyed this class and felt that professor Spatafora's method of teaching was very interesting. She is very enthusiastic about the course material and is good about being accommodating to student's needs. Would definitely recommend this class, especially if you've taken AP Bio or AP Chem, it will be a pretty easy A.
