Reviews of professor Michael Saunders

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He had left me on a cliffhanger in a lecture that had me wanting to go to office hours to find out more. It can be hard at times to differentiate what is important content and what is just extra info because he is so passionate about his field. He likes to draw on the board to explain the content so be ready to draw when taking notes. Take him!

Dr. Saunders is a cool guy with lots of knowledge. Attendance isn't mandatory + posts lectures online, but highly recommend going to class because content is less confusing/explains it in more depth in person. Take notes, pay attention, go to office hours and you will be fine. Exams are the only grades so take the time to prepare and ask him ?'s

4 tests make up your grade, but the tests are pretty fair. Go to every lecture, but he posts online lectures so if you miss you can make up for it. Lectures can seem repetitive with the information, but he has a lot of interesting stories to share. If he draws something on the whiteboard it's important so make sure you know it for the test.

Dr. Saunders is a great lecturer and explains everything you need to know in detail. The only part that makes this class hard is that your entire grade is composed of 4 tests, without any other grades in the gradebook. If you bomb even 1 test, you won't receive a good grade.

Love this man so much I'm taking him again for 302. Rounded my b+ to an A-. Interesting AF lectures + gave me a good foundation for Bio 270. Knows a lot of stuff, but most importantly knows how to teach it to someone who doesn't know much without talking down to students or being confusing. This man made me love being a kin major

Absolutely love Dr Saunders! Super nice guy but only grades are 4 tests so you have to do well from the beginning. His slides have very few words, lots of graphs so you have to write down everything he says, as it will probably show up on the tests. Overall, pretty tough but good class if you're interested in the material!

I loved Saunders! While I wouldn't say the class is easy, it is very manageable if you put in the work. The lectures were intriguing but there was a lot of information so be prepared to take notes! Your only grades are 4 tests so make sure you engage in class, stay on top of the material, and always do the content reviews. High recommended
