Hi,
This is a new course, therefore there are no reviews. However, both profs are exellent.

It's a new course this year, so no one can give you any information about it. However, McClelland was very clear for Bio 2A03 this year. His tests were a little disorganized, but I think that was due to the Instructional assistant. But anyway, his lecturing style and questions were pretty straightforward and clear. I also found his lecture notes very extensive but useful. And I've heard a lot of good reviews about Dr. Wood as well

I had Wood as a guest lecturer. He's also very clear, a little quieter, though. His notes looked quite similar to McClelland's (sp) actually.

Hi Arian! (if thats you....)
McLeland is a good professor. He can teach very well. Sometimes the material is very dry and it gets boring but you can't blame him for that. His tests are somewhat difficult with a lot mistakes but that could be due to Thelma Leech (IA for BIO 2A03)
