Dr Jagadeeshan is a very good and respected prof. he is very caring and approachable. The course content can be complicated but overall it is okay. He is very helpful and answers all questions that students have. He puts a lot of time for his class. Course content is a little bit boring and needs a lot of work. but Overall good class.

Jagadeeshan is a new professor and it is clearly evident. The course was inconsistent, he made easy concepts complicated and often contradicted himself/textbook. Lectures weren't helpful - he jumped from topic to topic and he mumbled a lot so it was difficult to follow along. However, he did answer emails in a timely manner.

Unpredictable and weird, the amount of work you put in doesn't matter when it comes to your test grade. Only thing that mattered was the severity of weirdness of the test

Course was very disorganized and difficult to follow. Slides/explanations tend to contradict the textbook leading to a plethora of misunderstandings so I suggest you focus on the textbook rather than slides. Concepts aren't too difficult as most are relevant from BIOL 1001 (eg. Drift, Natural Selection) but on a broader scale.

Dr. Jagadeeshan is a caring prof, he's approachable whenever help is needed to understand the concept. However the course itself was very difficult in my opinion, so keep up with the readings, review the material frequently, and ask questions if needed for clarifications.
