Reviews of professor John Noto

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I'm not great at biology of any kind but Noto was a good professor. His lectures were kind of boring and the tests were challenging but that may just be because I'm not into biology and only took it because I had to. As a person, he is helpful, polite, informative, and will help if you ask. I'd recommend him.

He uses PowerPoint, and lots of whiteboard drawings to make sure you understand the concepts.  He is very good at explaining difficult concepts clearly and simply and is always available for questions and or to help you succeed.

Good professor, was very tough at the beginning but towards the end he was very helpful and gave us plenty of extra credit assignments we could do.

Just reads powerpoints. Forget the syllabus he doesn't even abide by it. Said we would have assignments, quizzes and a project to help our grade but was just 5 exams in lecture and a quiz each lab. Also doesn't reply to emails.

Dr. Noto was an awesome professor and he made the content easier to learn for a difficult class.

His exams are tough, and they test comprehension and not just memory. His lectures are clear and thorough, and I have learned a lot from him. He is also probably smarter than everyone in the room but not weird or arrogant or demeaning about it, he just clearly really loves and knows a lot about biology. If you don't want to study, you won't pass
