Reviews of professor Jose Lopez-Yanez

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Lots of quizzes for every chapter. They aren't too hard though. Keep the questions after to help study for his exams.

For every quiz,you have to use this LockDown Browser application that stops you from opening other windows. IN AN ONLINE COURSE! For the tests, you have to use the same thing, but you have to provide a state ID and use a webcam for every test! IN AN ONLINE COURSE!!! Also, he records hour-long lectures for every module, very tedious to sit through.

Gives a lot of opportunities to bring your grade up. He allows you to take each quiz twice which really helped. I was out sick for an entire week, but I was able to see him at his office to make up my work.

I love that we don't have to buy a book! I actually learned a lot ! He will help you out if you just let him know you are struggling!

Where do I begin?! I'm not sure if this professor is new to teaching or what but this class was a mess. I felt like I was training to become a biochemist. We didn't have a book for this course what was used was a bunch of articles and websites that we needed to read along with YouTube videos. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS WITH THIS PROFESSOR!

The guy was teaching from an entirely different book.He didn't feel the need to update his lessons to coincide with the newly issued booked. The majority of the quiz questions were never discussed in the book or his lectures. I was putting in way more than 10 hours a week for that class. I quit because it wasn't worth the stress.He was awful.

I would not listen to other reviews personally. I was taking a different Bio Prof before Professor Lopez and saw the reviews so I got nervous but I am so glad that I switched. He is very understanding and super nice, helps out if you are struggling. As long as you do your work you are pretty much set. I honestly 10/10 recommend.

I really liked Professor Lopez-Yanez and will be taking him for BIO 2. The textbook is included with tuition so you will not have to buy an additional one. This class is not difficult if you have taken another science course before and know what you're getting yourself into. 1 discussion post, 1 lecture, 1-3 labs, 1 quiz are due each week.
