Reviews of professor Jeffrey DaCosta

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
This guy is the best lecturer Ive ever had and his class is well organized especially for a large lecture. It is super interesting, the only thing is he writes the hardest tests man or god has ever seen and his grading system is brutal.

Not necessarily a bad professor, but definitely not for me. I would recommend taking the other prof for eco evo if you are not up for a challenge.

DaCosta is overall a good option for the course. Lectures contain a lot of information. Tests rely a lot on memorization, but are fair. Could be a difficult course because of the amount of info. covered, but there are a lot of chances to go to office hours and get help.

He is a great person and professor. I am a non-bio major and took Eco Evo asynch this spring with him and he was super passionate and understanding about the class, corona, and outside issues at BC. Most of his test material is in the lectures, but if the tests weren't open note I definitely would have struggled more.

Avoid this class if looking to take it for natural science requirement. A lot, a lot, a lot of memorization. If you want to do well, study weeks in advance for every test. Otherwise, an incredibly understanding and caring professor. One of my favorite professors so far at BC. If you're up for a challenge, I would definitely take this class.

Took BIOL2010 because I needed my other Natural Science credit. For 1 credit not worth it. Only interesting to Bio Majors and people with an interest in bio. Just wasn't for me. If you are a bio major tho, take this class, you can tell he genuinely cares about what he teaches, just maybe not about the students who dont share that interest :(
