Gregory Pask

Super great, class. I liked the group work style where we did work every week on Wednesdays and then had weekly problem sets or reading reflections. And then no exams! It is defienly expected that you took AP bio

If you are going to or have to take cell biology you have to do it with greg pask. I have never felt like I have learned so much ever in my life. You totally have to lean into the no exams or grades and push yourself to do work without that but because of the way the class is set you you can go about learning whatever way you want and through whatever lens you want. the end exam was a discussion about biology which I think was the best way to assess what we actually knew because we basically just had a conversation about it!

Professor Pask is incredible in what he does and it is clear that he loves the content he teaches. However, it is insanely easy to fall behind in this class since it does use the traditional grading method. There are no exams, which if you're like me, it's hard to stay motivated without knowing exactly what to study for. All of this ultimately leads to the final, which isn't a written exam but rather an oral exam where you roll a die and have to answer 2 questions from the 12 that are available. He gave us a lot of lenience in this regard, as we knew all the questions beforehand and could study them. However, they were still difficult, but Pask ensured that everyone got some sort of partial credit. Personally I would not take a class again with this professor, but if this teaching method sounds like it would suit you, go for it.
