The decision
Key questions
Is this an easy A?
An A is possible, but students describe heavy reading, frequent quizzes, tough exams, and serious weekly study as the cost.
Both formats say the A requires hard work, with online reviews especially noting tough grading and in-person reviews detailing heavy tests and reading.
Is the course easy?
The course is intellectually challenging because biology content is dense, reading-heavy, and tested frequently across quizzes and exams.
Both formats describe difficult content, while in-person reviews provide more detail about readings, labs, quizzes, and cumulative tests.
Is attendance flexible?
Participation and lab engagement matter, but the reviews do not clearly prove a strict attendance penalty.
In-person reviews mention participation and labs more often, while online reviews mention in-person quizzes but do not prove a full attendance policy.
Is this professor recommended?
Most students recommend Green because he is passionate, caring, and effective, but only for students ready to study seriously.
In-person reviews are mostly enthusiastic with workload warnings, while online reviews are positive but stress difficulty.
