Reviews of professor James Cheetham

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Easy class and enjoyable. He is clearly very passionate about biotechnology and goes off on tangents. The lectures are long and he generally just reads off slides. 11 tests and 3 papers. He takes the best 10 test scores and the best 2 assignments so its up to you to decide what you would like to do. Very clear rubric for papers.

Took 1010 as a science elective not knowing how easy it would be. I didn't even take biology in high school and this class was a breeze. The lectures are very informative and the weekly tests are very easy, especially since they are open book (combine the PDFs and use Ctrl + F and you already have an A+). A genuinely smart and funny guy, too!

Prof. Cheetham is hilarious! His lectures were always interesting and intriguing. There were 11 online tests (very simple) and 3 assignments to be handed in, with the lowest mark for each not being considered in the overall grade. It was a great course and a great class!

The course was very easy. Took it as a science elective to keep my average high. Don't need to watch the lecturers, just have ctrl f ready on the slides on test day. Quizlet has lots of answers too, but Google is very much your friend.

Dr Cheetham is a great prof who knows how to connect with his students, you are lucky if you get him as a prof

Amazing prof! Very funny guy - makes the lectures much more interesting. There's an online test every week and a few assignments but they are fairly easy. Would 100% recommend taking this class with this prof!!!

he's a very good professor but his marking scheme is not fair. there are 11 tests each one is worth 10% and you get to drop the lowest mark. but if you happen to miss more than one test there is no way on earth he is allowing you to make it up which is actually so disappointing that you are literally loosing a 10% of your final grade!

11 quizzes worth 10% each and you can drop the lowest. Doesn't make you buy a textbook. 10/10 lad

I took a condensed summer course so the content seemed overwhelming initially but Professor Cheetham truly made things a breeze. He breaks down lectures into a manageable format and provides plenty of review (including lecture notes) so there are no surprises on the tests. He is very intelligent and the most organized prof I have ever come across.

If you need a science elective TAKE HIS BIOL1010 CLASS! The material is super interesting, and the James is very passionate about what he teaches. 

As long as you put a little bit of effort into the course, you're guaranteed at least an A-.
