Reviews of professor Rory Telemeco

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Never has a class made me regret becoming a bio major as much as this class. Telemeco's lack of care for students to do well is quite apparent. He is unable to communicate the material of this course in a digestible manner. This class has a heavy amount of busy work that is dense to which he shows little interest to break it down into simpler terms

Dr. Telemeco only cares about us being able to recite his EXACT words, yet he'll still mark it wrong. His mini-tests are incredibly difficult and he gives you NO direction in what to study. If you ask him he'll just tell you everything is fair game! He does not care about his students and seems to enjoy the fact that we all struggle so much.

I do not recommend taking this course if you're already packed with other classes. His class demands a lot of time. A lot of lecture videos each week along with separate HW assignments. His quizzes are doable, but you actually have to study and do your part. If you are struggling, go to his review sessions.

Discussion board, assigned reading, and homework questions (online multiple-choice) are all due before the weekly quiz which is 6-8 questions. The material is not hard but there is a ton of work. This class takes the most amount of time compared to my heavier classes. Easy to get a good grade in this class as long as you put in the effort.

If you rely on memorizing, don't take his class!

I took Intro to Biocomputing, and it was a challenging class! He assigned a lot of reading to prep for class and there's a lot of assignments. I liked how he would do in-class examples of commands. I've never taken comp. science, so personally I had invest a lot of time to learn R.

Class is hard bc you can't just memorize, you have to really apply the concepts, BUT there are only a few examples of how you are expected to apply the knowledge. I suggest getting assignments done early and going to OH. Tons of e.c. opportunities but you have to compete with your classmates for them by having the best db answers.

When learning the material for this class, the material didn't seem extremely difficult or out of reach; however, the weekly minitests were not set up to get you the most points possible. He also required a lot of time to be put in outside of class to watch videos and complete SimUText assignments. Overall I would take another professor.

Don't take this course. It was unnecessarily difficult and time consuming.

Dr. Telemeco was seriously the WORST professor I have ever had, and if you go to Fresno State and have taken any physics class you know those professors are hard to beat. Im a very strong student an usually get all A's and his class has ruined that for me becuase he does not provide you with material to suceed and he is not welcoming to helping you
