Reviews of professor Phillips Akinwole

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
His class requires a lot of effort and detail; you need to pay attention to all of his feedback and his grading patterns in order to succeed. He's a very tough grader which can be a bit much for an intro bio class. I wouldn't recommend it if you don't have a strong basis in bio from high school.

What ever you do... do not take a class that this professor is teaching. I couldn't understand him at all and the class was purely lecture based. The assignments were given with no clear instruction and graded extremely hard. Complete waste of time.

He's very nice to talk to, but regarding teaching it's a no from me. For a 100 level class, he treats it like a 300 level one. Very particular on answers and will take off points for small inconsistencies.

Something I wish I had learned earlier on in the semester is that he will help you out if you communicate with him. He is a tough grader, but it is possible to argue back points. I wish he was clearer on what he's looking for. He would be better off teaching a higher-level bio class bc he expects a lot. Responds to emails quickly. USE STEM GUIDE!

Very hard to understand, his accent is not his fault, but his teaching style is. No one in the class really knows what's going on or what's expected of them. Only take if you are an expert in biology before hand.
