BIOL 2060

Prof. Homyk adds 4-5 points to your final grade for good attendance so make sure you go to class since these points can save you. Taking good notes is crucial since the book has a lot of material not covered on the test. Prof Homyk is easily available and very helpful outside of class. Not the easiest of science classes, but if you put in the effort a "B" starts from a 77.5 with good attendance.

Homyk is a poor lecturer; he has the irritating habit of repeating things over and over again, and says "you know" 10-15 times a minute (I counted). He also says some things that would make it difficult for a physical scientist to take him seriously (e.g. energy is released when bonds are broken, the nucleus doesn't fall apart because the neutrons shield the protons from each other--NO NO NO!!!!!!!). Take this if you have to, but for meeting a requirement or for fun choose something else. Personally I am very relieved I am no longer pre-pharm and don't have to take the second semester of this.
