Reviews of professor Prahlada Papper

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I loved This class learned so much him. Hes easy to reach and a great teacher. He is a tough grader but leaves feedback and wants to see his students improve if you put the work in youll get the grade you want

this class in only 100 points so every single small thing you dos worth 1% of your grade, that adds up faster than you think. Prahlad is lazy and he blatantly stated at the beginning (and throughout) the semester that he really doesnt care if you fail. Oh by the way tests are 70% of your grade so if you don't do well on a tests you are screwed.

papper expects way too much for an intro level class and does not provide study guides or clear topics for the tests. He prides himself on the fact that people struggle to pass his class but then says "grades shouldn't matter" because when he was in school they did pass/fail grading. he's a smart guy, but not a good teacher

If you want to take an actual intro to biology course, do not take this class. Papper goes into painful amounts of detail in unorganized lectures, gives VERY hard exams,& is an insanely harsh grader. He prides himself on the fact that people struggle in his class & does not care about the success of students. Absolutely exhausting & draining class

Take this class if you're a biology major. You will be challenged to articulate the subject and will be well prepared for future bio. Don't take this class if you're not a science major- you will be surprised by the amount of studying and concept mastery demanded by P. I loved this class but I've had other classes that required self guided study.
