Reviews of professor Eric Bottos

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Eric was overall a good teacher; this semester we were online because of Covid, and I definitely found some of his lectures boring but he explains everything really well. The written portions of our midterm and final were marked extremely hard as he expects very specific wording and terminology from you!!

Amazing professor, very easy to talk to and get to know, enjoys teaching. Get close to the prof and dont be afraid to ask questions as he is always happy to answer. Stay up to date on the mastering biology and read to the textbook to consolidate what you've learned and you'll be good to go

Eric was great to have. He made it very clear what would be on the tests and you are tested on the most important material. Tests were always very fair and if you studied, you would do well. He was entertaining to listen to in class although some topics were dry. Only complaint is he is a very slow marker.

Engaging lectures with fair tests that you can only get amazing marks with thorough understanding of the material. Methods assignment is incredibly useful, applicable to a huge range of fields, I see the terms all the time in papers. Poster assignment is deceptively challenging as well. Both great assignments requiring knowledge from the literature

He lectures while writing everything on the whiteboard. He posts slides on Moodle, but be prepared to copy down all notes in class to get the most out of it. Some test questions refer to his lecture material and may not be in the textbook. Eric himself is nice and eager to answer questions. I'd recommend going to office hours to review the midterm.

Eric is an awesome professor. He truly cares about his students and their success not only in his course, but in their other endeavours as well. 10/10 would recommend.
