Reviews of professor Matthew Endres

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Not entirely sure why this guy gets so much hate. Sure his lectures could've been more engaging at times, but honestly a great professor who was knowledgable, caring, and funny. His office hours were really helpful as well as the recorded lecture videos (exams felt harder than BIOL110, but office hours really help and fill out learning objectives!)

The professor is okay, but the material is not well-taught due to unclear explanations and annoying weekly homework assignments. These are unnecessary and can be found online, they're extra work for no reason. Exams are in Pollock. Take Malcos, PLEASE

Very good professor who is able to explain content very well. If you do not understand certain material he and his TA/LA's are very accesible outside of class. He also has lecture recordings available to look back on for better understanding. Not a hard class, but you still have to work a little for the A. Overall great professor and well taught.

requires Tophat grades, but you don't actually have to be in class to answer. He leaves the questions open for the entire week for students to answer (or change their answer) at anytime. If you do this and watch the lecture videos posted on canvas, you essentially never have to be in class. Expect to lose ~15 points in lab even with perfect work.

He is a super smart guy but for kids like myself who are not bio majors his explanations can feel confusing. I also felt a lack of understanding snowballed quickly and by the end of the semester I was really confused. I blame the layout of the class for my crappy grade- I would spend a long time on homework and do well but get poor exam grades.
