Reviews of professor Chris Coggin

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
He doesn't respond to emails. Never grades until last minute and then takes off so many points. Just gave back feedback for the final AFTER the rough draft was due. Don't recommend.

150L is 140L all over again but you choose a project to complete. Chris makes it fun and livable as you redo 140 basically. He doesn't grade things on time though, so don't worry about your grade until the end of the semester. Gives a lot of papers and quizzes, but so do the other professors. His rubrics aren't super in depth, so be careful.

He was my favorite professor I've had in the bio department. He is funny which made lab much more bearable, and he was always willing to help. He grades papers tough, but not as bad as what is described on here. The exams aren't his fault (bio department designs them) so you will have those with whoever you take. I'd highly recommend him!!

Im bias because Coggin is such a great guy but his class was really enjoyable. You get out of lab (at night) about 30 minutes to an hour early, and in the morning maybe 30 minutes early. He has been in your shoes so he just wants to help and he's geeky. Just make sure you take the prefab quizzes thats why my grades not too hot.

I honestly really enjoyed professor Coggin. Yes, he is a tough grader and rarely gives out A's. But he is very chill, friendly, and funny. I enjoyed him as a lab instructor and if I tried harder I could've gotten a better grade. Don't listen to these reviews the class is easy, you just need to put in work on your lab report.

Lab lasts 3 hours, but if you work efficiently he lets you leave at least an 1+ hours early. Doesn't waste time lecturing and is very chill. Quizzes are done by the department but all the information you need is on Canvas. Pretty easy lab if you show up and do the work, he will help you with any questions you have.

Do not take him for BIO140L he makes him so more difficult than it needs to be and will put you on the spot to answer things. Harsh grader and it's too much work and you still won't get an A no matter what. Send him an email for help never even responded to it.

Honestly I would avoid him if you can. Its made so much more difficult than it should be and grades are so harsh that it felt like no matter how hard you tried you wouldnt get an A.

Coggin is ok. He says he never gives out A's, so don't expect one. He also takes over a month to grade stuff, so don't ask for feedback either. It's just annoying because we don't know what to change on our papers until it's too late. If you have him its ok, but also be prepared to have to answer a bunch of questions at the beginning of lab
