Reviews of professor Dan Isaac

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Prof. Isaac is an amazing professor and a great teacher, but Mam Phys is absolutely absurd. You have an exam every three classes (aka two weeks on, one week off). It's nuts. You learn a ton, but be ready to work your butt off and still get absolutely rekt by the exams.

Professor Isaac is kind and enthusiastic. Attendance is not taken, and the lecture is big enough you never have to show up. It was sort of boring, but an easy A. All you have to do is complete two writing assignments, read a short book, and attend small group sessions moderated by a TA. I wish this would have been a more interesting class.

Had to make an account as I am a dental student now, and cannot overstate the knowledge you'll gain from this class. There is no professor I've found able to explain the body like Dr. Isaac is able to. This won't be a grade booster, but that won't matter later - you'll thank yourself in graduate school for the foundation you got from his teaching.

Took a very long time to grade material, but he seems somewhat chill. Just remember that bio gateway more or less functions as a writing course.

Dan Isaac is a great guy, and a very good instructor. He is sometimes late on uploading material but is very accessible, easygoing and understanding. He is clear with what he wants and doesn't talk in circles like some other bio professors do. Says "um" a lot which is probably my only negative critique of his. Also the dude is a M.D. which is cool.

Easy A, but that's to be expected for a first year bio seminar. Weekly 1hr lectures, won't miss much but it's a very easy class. All we had to do was read a short book + discuss it in small groups with a TA. Graded on two easy writing assignments.

Exams every 9 calendar days all semester (8 exams total). Also a cumulative final exam and a paper. 

You should take this class if you want to go med/dental/vet/PA school because you need this info. 

Cons: This class is brutal/nonstop agony. DO NOT take with other demanding classes (like physics). Lab is also brutal but you learn a lot in both.

Biochem with Dr. Isaac was one of the toughest classes I've taken. He is a smart dude and a great lecturer, but the material and exams are extremely difficult. Helpful in office hours.
