BIOL 3000

Dr. Green also teaches part of the class. Both teachers are good, and really interested in what they're talking about. Considering its a CORE class and supposed to be not a lot of fun it isn't too bad as long as you study for the tests and go to class

Kozminski and Green are both enthusiastic about the material and willing to help, but some people just won't be able to answer the questions no matter how much work is put into it. Ask questions when you don't know something and GO TO CLASS.

Kozminksi is a difficult professor for sure. His material is quite interesting however, and he certainly understands it both backwards and forwards. Be prepared to study very hard for his exams, but overall an enjoyable class.

This class sadly is part of the core curriculum and therefore cannot be avoided. Professor Carla Green is actually not so bad and her powerpoints are very informative, but Kozminski reminds students of Ben Stein and only has pictures on his powerpoints, thus emphasizing heavy note-taking and reading.

Okay. Do not take this class with Kozminski. I figured it's cell bio, it's going to suck either way so I took it but it is so unbelievably painful it is NOT worth it. Take it with Wormington. I'm warning you now. Keith's tests are absurd. He takes great pride in making very tricky questions and you're going to be supremely annoyed when you get your test back. Yes, he's a nice guy, extremely fair and knows his stuff, but seriously, STAY AWAY.

Not curved, and the grading scale can be really harsh.

Professor Kozminski is a great professor. His lectures/powerpoints are well-organized topic by topic, and his humor livens up the class. It's also nice to get to know him during office hours!

Exams are tough, there is no curve, study the ppt's extensively as they are the main source of material for exams.

The class was pretty interesting, however Kozminsky did not make it clear how much of the book we needed to know, and the information was not presented clearly in lecture. What I did learn, however, was very useful in later biology classes. That being said, even though I did well in the class I don't feel like I got much out of it.

Professor Kozminski makes lectures interesting and makes it clear on what you should focus on for the exams. Study the powerpoints and make sure you understand the fundamental concepts behind the take home questions presented at the end of each lecture and you should do fine.
