BIOL 3000

I think this class is more difficult than most make it out to be. The only way to get to the A/A- range is to average 90+. Wormy is still the best core professor, though.

Go to all review sessions and write down clicker questions. Do not need to buy the book. All information is in the lectures.

Really great teacher. Really hard class. A LOT of reading/ memorization.

This class has an IMMENSE amount of information to memorize. Attendance is done through extra credit awarded via iClicker participation. Basically have to know EVERY SINGLE DETAIL that is in the lecture slides, so coming to lecture and paying attention is at a premium. The way to succeed in this class is like I said before, memorize everything, yes everything that is presented in the lecture slides. Most of the class is straight memorization like a mofo, in case you didn't know so. Grading is based on 4 50 question exams, none of which can be dropped.

Good class, test questions are given away at the discussion sections.

The material in this class was very interesting and easier than genetics, in my opinion. The class was only difficult because of the grading scheme-no curves or scales. I made the mistake of not listening to the reviews and trying to read everything then studying the powerpoints the night before an exam. I thought maybe he'd pull something out of the reading that wasn't covered in the lecture which wasn't true. Just study the powerpoints like crazy. Wormington knows his stuff and knows how to teach this class, but he is very condescending. Eugene was an awesome TA.

Wormington is an excellent, if speedy, lecturer. I never once opened the book, went to class, took good notes, and received an A. If you put enough effort into your notes there is no need to worry!

Great class! Wormington is the best! Makes learning Cell Bio fun!

There are 4 tests worth 25% each, and they are all multiple choice. He goes into extreme detail from the slides, and all of class is spent adding information to his slides. It's not really necessary to read the book but you need to go to class and if you stop paying attention for 5 minutes youre likely to miss something.

great class. You'll learn a lot!
