Reviews of professor Jonathan Fitzgerald

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Fitz treated everyone in my lab like they were stupid. Does not answer questions in the lab, and does not respond to emails. Every interaction with him made me feel stupid. I've heard he is less of a jerk in upper-level bio courses, but no way I am taking him again.

I have him for lecture and lab. He is too chill- very unorganized and doesnt go out of his way to help you at all. He is unclear about deadlines. READ the textbook to do well on tests. In lecture, he rambles and I think its almost a waste to go. There's a LOT of online hw due thats dumb too. This is a self taught class, please try a diff prof.

Took him for Plant Generics and Diversity; Developmental Biology. Mega hard but wow, the course content was fascinating. He wants to see you fascinated by the content. Also, yes, reading the textbook will save you and give you brownie points. Funny guy, solid brain, would take another class with him

The teacher was very prepared and had documents/guides prepared to help with calculations after a lab. All the assignments (apart from the multiple-choice HW quizzes) had straightforward rubrics where if you follow them well, and follow his guides well you'll get a good grade. Overall the class was straightforward, just make sure to use the guides.
