Reviews of professor Robert Torregrosa

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. T is the clear choice. He is very accessible outside of class and this was VERY helpful. He offered extra credit on your test grades and had clear expectations before and after remote learning. He gives you opportunities and resources to do well. A true class where the effort you put in will be reflected in your grade.

Unless you're willing to study for 6 hrs a day this class will make you cry. Lectures are fine but get ready for condescending emails every day and quizzes that even the tutors will tell you they don't understand. He's so concerned about cheating that he makes everything harder than what he teaches. Just take helms lol

Torregrosa's lectures are super clear and almost completely based on examples, which is amazing and super helpful. His tests are fair but are rarely multiple choice (mostly short answer) and do count for a big portion of your grade. He is a tough grader, and takes off a lot points for small mistakes sometimes. DON'T BUY THE BOOK. You won't use it.

Dr. Torregrosa is a great professor and really wants students to understand the concepts associated with the course. His course is challenging, but it is because he wants his student to succeed past his class (i.e. Cell Bio/Biochem). His tests can be tricky, but people who do well in his course find the upper level courses much easier.
