Reviews of professor Thomas Clements

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr.Clements is an amazing prof. He uses memes to explain the complicated biological processes and his lectures are typically concise. He cracks jokes here and there, sometimes it's funny sometimes it's not, but that's okay. I feel like he really tries his best to motivate us to learn and not want 1510 to be a weed-out (tho it is by nature)

Clements is fine. His lectures and homework were briefer than Friedman's, but this often led to a lack of depth. His tests are not extraordinarily difficult. My main gripe is that he doesn't answer questions. He'll dance around an answer but never fully explain or have a fellow student give a convoluted answer. Tries very hard to be liked.

If you're a first-year, this is the move. There is a lot of content, and the questions can be challenging, but Clements provides a ton of practice. In addition, there are a few cushion grades, such as online quizzes and attendance. Regardless, go to office hours; he incorporates students' questions into his exams and explains concepts well.

Incredible professor. Class is taught flipped classroom, and in person time is used for small group discussion of HW with Learning Assistants. I loved the format of the class, but some of my peers felt differently. Clements loves to add meme/jokes to his slides, and makes the class enjoyable. Genuinely does not want BSCI 1510 to be a weed out.

BSCI 1510 is difficult because it is like drinking from a hire hose for the amount of information you need to memorize. There is also lots of extraneous information that you do not need to know, but is hard to tell which is which. Dr. Clement's section has flipped lectures and has LAs that can help you with in-class practice questions.

Dr. Clements is amazing. He teaches complex topics using memes. He taught his class this year as a flipped classroom. His lectures were fun to watch, although they were a bit disorganized. His test questions are sometimes confusing, but he is a lenient grader.

Prof Clements is a wonderful and engaging teacher. He is very nice and understanding but makes you work for every bit of your grade. He is helpful in office hours and his recorded lectures are well organized. Tests are very fair.
