Grace Spatafora
BIOL
I thought this course was pretty challenging due to the amount of material covered. The main portion of your grade is based on the exams, so if you do not do well it would be hard to come back from. I did appreciate a lot that the professor gave us chances to re-do portions of the exam that we did not do so well on so that we could try and get a better grade.
Dr. Spatafora follows a very intense format for the class cramming in a lot of material. While it can seem overwhelming and fast pace, this is perhaps the most that I have learned from any bio course. She is extremely passionate about the subject.
Hardest class I have ever taken. Requirement to know pointless, arbitrary material of unimportant biological processes that are only explained in lecture and not found anywhere else. Exams were extremely challenging and predatory. Do not take.
