Reviews of professor Moshe Rhodes

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Was not the worst, but did not connect with students at all. I don't know if it was just because I had him for an online class. Slideshows were not detailed unlike the very specific questions on the tests.

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Super uninterested in what he is lecturing about and acts like he is stoned every class. Gives long study guides which the exams do not reflect AT ALL. By far the hardest exams I have very taken. Lectures are pointless and the slides have no words on them. The class avg on exams is below a 60 every time. Lecture and exams dont correlate either.

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Lectures hardly make sense, Not good at teaching the material, and more of a show-and-tell teacher. No point in copying down what is on the slides, it's usually not helpful for the exams. The exams are also the most difficult I have taken in my 3 years of college so far, Passing this class with anything above a B is near impossible.

Dr. Rhodes is an awesome professor. Although he assigns a surplus of homework assignments, supplemental readings, textbook readings, and reading checks, this allows room to gain a lot of points. He curves almost every exam (within reason). He allows lots of room for extra credit and makeup work. Overall, he is a great guy and is super helpful.

He was overall a good professor however I questioned a lot if I was actually in a biology class; we tended to go off topic a decent amount. He would cancel class or move it to zoom a little too often too.

We randomly would do something fun in the class while other times it would be over our heads. It felt easy while learning the material, but then the class test average was 70.

Dr. Rhodes' is a great professor and makes the content even more interesting with engaging lectures. Although there's a lot of reading (articles and papers), they really add to the content. His exams are thorough, so you have to know the content really well. Anyone who really appreciates medical applications of microbio should take his class.

Gives long study guides that are best filled out by rewatching the recorded lectures. LOTS of HW, and the tests are very difficult. The average is about 70 for all the exams. He is kind and willing to offer help when you talk to him, but this class requires a lot of work. Don't take him if you have a full course load or it will be very difficult!

He talks as though he has no interest in anything he is talking about. His slides don't make much sense, and he's poor at explaining them. The class average for the exams were all under a 70 and he wouldn't go back and tell us what we did wrong. His study guides do not match up with the exams. He is the one and only reason I hate biology.
