Reviews of professor Michael Alexander

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Ben Alexander is a very tough grader who assumes you already know all of the material. He gives very bleak feedback in office hours and oftentimes involves his personal feelings in the lab. I never fully got my questions answered during office hours and he sometimes can. be condescending.

Ben Alexander should be avoided if possible. He is a poor communicator, many times we were told we would be emailed about assignments which never arrived. He graded assignments very strictly and did not offer much guidance on how to improve. He also was very unenthusiastic during lab, expecting the students to already know the material. Good luck!

Dr. Alexander is not organized at all. He is a tough grader and can make you feel stupid for asking questions sometimes. The lab quizzes/tests are very hard and he doesn't offer any extra resources to help prepare us for them. Lab was online and I can't even imagine if it was in person... not a good experience at all.

Prof Alexander likes to be extremely harsh in grading somewhat obscure assignments, would not take him again.

Likes to give extremely vague directions and then grade you harshly. Worst TA I've had yet. Buckle up.

Dr. Alexander was okay in the beginning, but throughout the semester, my opinion changed. He graded super hard, with a ton of inconsistencies. It seemed like he just picked and chose who would lose points where, and he did not give any explanation for why we got points off. I just hate biology lab in general, but this TA did not make it any better.
