Reviews of professor Hao Xu

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Three homework grades, a midterm, a project that includes a presentation and writtern report and a final exam - exams are hard to study for (reviews are just the lecture slides put together in a ridiculously long presentation) - reads straight off of the slides - makes you feel like you were supposed to take biology, chemistry and physic beforehand

must remember HS bio/chem coming into this class-that's what some frosh struggled with. If you took AP Bio and got it, you'll be ok. Dr. Xu seemed nice, but lectures were very monotonous and jumped right in. He has a heavy accent and read mostly straight off the slides. We had 3 MC HWs, 1 midterm, 1 final, 1 big group project that expected detail.

Dr. Xu is a nice guy, that being said he does read essentially word for word off his slides. He gives a midterm and a final, both of which are over 300+ slides of material each and doesn't really provide insight to what will be tested on. The test is hit or miss, the questions are specific so just reading won't help too much.

Having basic knowlege in cell biology and gen chem helps for the midterm. Memorize quizes and HW(30%) for midterm 30%. Group project  30% of grade- start collecting data early. Attendance10%. This class gives you good insight into BE3380 Human Physiology. Should know how to do a Student's T-test for group project or ANOVA. Have fun.
