Reviews of professor Michael Grillo

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Idk I would never take him again. This class was way too tough and probably mostly because of him and his confusing tests!!

I worked really hard and studied for this class and I don't think I learned much since it was kinda difficult to process with him.

I really liked Dr. Grillo! His lectures were clear and concise, he cares about how the class is doing and if they understand the material. He has occasional pop quizzes but if you read you will get full credit, and the test are on what he lectures (no surprises or trick questions). Genetics is hard but if you put in the work, you can get an A!

This class made me want to cry. Probably one of the hardest courses I've taken so far. 4 exams worth 60%, hw 30% (drops lowest 2) and learning curve 10%. Exams focus on 1-2 concepts and exam questions are found online (I didn't know that until after the final :)) Non-cumulative. Dr. Grillo is a little intimidating but actually really funny.

Professor Grillo isn't terrible, but he's definitely not good. All prerecorded lectures and a flipped classroom. While he was knowledgeable, it seemed as if he would rather be doing anything besides "teaching," which he barely did. Not necessarily a hard class, but a lazy prof means you have to teach yourself 100% of the material. Quite lackluster

Homework problems are harder than actual test problems, but you still have to study to do well. You read & watch lectures at home & do hw during class. People rushed over the hw to leave early, but on days he ACTUALLY teaches & goes over problems u learn from him. It's mostly self teaching tbh . He tries to scare people off but class isnt hard.

Homework was way too hard and he never talked about it. Too much work for a required class. Felt more like 300 level class.

Loved taking Genetics with Dr. Grillo. He's super caring and funny. His exams aren't tricky and his lecture slides prepare you well. He offers a ton of extra credit on exams. Weekly homework and learning curves give you easy points. All exams (and the final) are worth the same amount of points, which is nice. Would def take him again.
