Reviews of professor Darren Hagen

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
If you do not show up to class you will fail and miss out on in class quizzes which is 10% of the grade. He is more likely to help those that come to class and ask questions than those that don't. He struggles with explaining things in more than one way so use the TA's and go to SI. He is insanely smart and can't dumb it down.

It was his first year teaching at OSU and honestly if you just study hard enough you can make an A in his class! Youre only graded on two things: attendance (clickers) and exams (which are worth 70% of your total grade). Hes very approachable and is willing to work with you if youre trying your best. Its a hard class if you dont work at it.

Dr. Hagen is a funny and cool guy, but his exams are challenging and difficult. 90% of your grade is from exams, and the other 10% on clicker questions. Exam questions are either VERY specific, ambiguous, tricky, or oddly worded. He wants us to understand concepts, but those tests can be brutal especially the written portion.

Amazing professor, gave me a deeper love and understanding of genetics. Show up to class and take notes, pay attention. This class isn't difficult if you pay attention, participate, and ask questions

Best professor ever- I wouldn't take the class with anybody else! He's absolutely hilarious and is a great guy. He's super helpful in office hours and does everything possible to help his students succeed. The whole class is graded on three tests, a few iClicker points, and a final, so it is important to do well on exams. 10/10!
