Reviews of professor Ryan Giuliano

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
I am about 3 weeks into this class and it's clearly a pseudoscience social studies class. As a common med prereq, it is very similar to the Aging class you will likely need to take. Science is beneath a 1st yr level, the difficulty isn't the problem. He's a poindexter. He dumbs it down to the point of being unbearable. He called whales fish!

Dr Giuliano constantly shows how much he cares about his students. His recorded lectures were interesting, organized, accessible, understandable- I wished they were longer. Gives clear expectations for the outreach project, exams are difficult but gives ample time. Textbook is free, study and prep his study guides and you'll do more than fine

He's a very passionate prof. I find his explanations can sometimes be wordy and long-winded. Gives extra mark for ppl who rank well in the outreach project. Grade breakdown is pretty lenient. Overall a super caring prof. The best thing is he uses a free online textbook

He is a nice guy but seems to be too busy to teach. He is very focused on his other research and forgets to put effort into his class! Terrible pre recorded lectures, and he seems full of himself. Thinks he is better than he is. Easy content but somehow he makes it hard to understand.

Ryan is a brilliant, funny, kindhearted professor. His seminar was fascinating and made me even more passionate about the subject. There is a fair bit of neurobiology but he makes it very accessible even for students who haven't really studied brain structures. His marking was pretty lenient. He would often debate the "skeptic" so know your stuff.

The course content is very interesting so that's something to look forward to. Gives tons of time for the four big term tests (there's no final). Outreach project is essentially free marks. Textbook's free! Weekly online quizzes are very easy and none of the four exams are cumulative so it is a very manageable course!

Ryan is super accommodating, kind, and wants students to do well. 3 open-book exams, easy iClicker quizzes at the end of every class, and a short assignment with the chance to earn bonus % points on your final grade. Funny and interesting lectures, it's clear he's passionate about what he talks about and gives lots of hints to exam questions!

I honestly left a more critical review of Ryan earlier, but he grew on me. The course gets better as you go along. This is an easy class, and he makes it interesting. The project is essentially free marks.
