Key questions
Is this an easy A?
An A is realistic because grading is reasonable and retakes or extra support appear often, but students still need to read and study.
Online evidence mentions heavy reading and long midterms, while in-person evidence more strongly supports reasonable tests and multiple attempts.
Is the course easy?
The work is manageable, but biology vocabulary, dense lectures, and many quiz or exam questions keep it from being effortless.
Online students call the work easy but heavy, while in-person students more often mention dense lecture material and long Saturday sessions.
Is attendance flexible?
Attendance is often marked mandatory, though a few reviews say it was not required.
Both online and in-person reviews include mandatory attendance, with in-person evidence showing slightly more variation.
Is this professor recommended?
Students recommend him because he is kind, respectful, clear, and gives a fair path to good grades.
Both formats are strongly positive, with online students emphasizing flexibility and in-person students emphasizing reasonable grading and labs.
