Bio 1A, Wilson over Zhu. I thought Wilson did a good job in first year. I don't know the Bio 1M profs.

Only Lovric is listed, I heard he's a really good prof. Ask again when you figure out who else is teaching the course.

I had both Stone and Quinn, they are both good profs, very nice and helpful. Stone's lectures can be a bit dry but I blame the material, not him. Quinn is very entertaining.
This is for BIO 1M03, btw.

Seriously? I thought Stone was HORRIBLE. Yea the material is dry, but it doesn't help to copy and paste the textbook word for word onto a powerpoint and then read that word for word during lectures. And what the hell was with his exam questions? Literally every one of his questions were five statements and the answers would be, "Only A is true", "A, B, C are true", "A, C are true", "None are true", "All of the above are true"

LOL yeah his lectures were pretty dry and those exam questions got really annoying after a while.
BUT, he's actually a pretty cool guy if you ever need to ask him questions. |

Lovric is awesome for Math 1LS3, he is funny, good at explaining concepts, extremely friendly and approachable and you can just tell he's a genuine and hard working person.

This is absolutely correct. I had Lovric last year and loved him. So did most other people in the class. |

Dushoff was also a phenomenal professor and Kolasa's material was somewhat dry but he was incredibly fair
