Reviews of professor Joel Atallah

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Lots of reading of difficult papers and group presentations. Exams are designed to make you think and not just regurgitate facts that you've memorized. Reading textbook chapters, attending and participating is a must. Not too hard of a grader if you put in effort. He is very excited about the material he teaches, which makes class fun.

Dr. Atallah is like a stereotypical nerdy scientist who's still a kid at heart. I absolutely loved taking Developmental Biology with him and he is extremely knowledgeable about the material. Grading focuses on group projects, a few homework assignments, a midterm, and a final exam. Be prepared to speak in front of the class frequently!
