Reviews of professor Jeffery Tessem

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Good: Grading system and assignments are clear from the beginning. If you are willing to put in the effort, you can score well on assignments. Bad: HARD tests. Mistakes on exams which Dr. Tessem was not willing to discuss or examine. You have to memorize literally everything on the slides. Occasionally demeaning but probably isn't intentional.

This class has a ton of information. It is really hard and take a lot of time, but Tessem is upfront about it. It was the last class I took in the major, and definitely the toughest. Lots of reading, lots of studying is required. It completely saved me in my med school biochemistry class.

He is hard to reach outside of class time so be ready to ask him questions either during class or right afterwards. He is upfront about the class being a heavy load but he underestimates the time you need to do well. I studied 5-8 hours M-F and barely got a B-. Took this class in spring but either semester you take it in, this class demands.

Best class and best professor I had at BYU.  The class is a ton of work, but if you put in the time it is fair. There are lots of ways to earn points, and if you are organized it isn't hard to get a good grade. I love that he drops your lowest exam.  That saved me. This class tied all of my chemistry and biology classes together.
