Reviews of professor Subhasis (Sam) Biswas

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
A disappointing professor, he is incapable to use the Canvas platform. This results in students not knowing what grade they actually have in the class, having to rely on his Excel file for a final grade. This lack of transparency is terrifying, seeing as one cannot establish whether or not their grade is accurate until it's too late. Avoid him.

90% test and 10% quiz; all questions covering minute details from the textbook. Refuses to listen to grade disputes or student feedback and often prefers his own answers over the correct ones. Unfortunately, most students in the program have to take the required courses which are only taught by him.

Pretty standard async class, just study the quizzes and you'll be fine. Grade is just quizzes and exams (with one or two other small assignments), neither of which are that hard if you study for them. Covers a broad range of molecular biology topics but all of them are pretty easy to understand

It's a difficult course. A lot of stuff to memorize. You do learn a lot from it though. It covers almost everything in Molecular Biology. It's fun to learn but not fun to test.

Very organized professor. Lectures are very informative about advanced subjects. Everything, including chapters in the book are spelled out in the syllabus. Exams are based on his power point lectures as well as the book chapter. He drops or gives everyone credit for questions that students don't do well keeping the ave score about 80%.

Nice guy, but he's not a good professor. He's had no clinical experience, so he doesn't know how to relate the material to students. His exams are based on his lectures, so you really don't have to bother with reading the textbook - but you will need it when you study for the ASCP Board of Certification exam for MLS students.

It's hard to care for a class, especially one that is meant to prepare students for their Board of Certification exams, when the professor cares so little about the topic or his students education. Virtually never prepared and constantly adjusting and changing the answers he's provided. Also curving grades up AND THEN DOWN. Beware at all costs.

DO NOT take this class!! Unfortunately, it is a core requirement, but if you can avoid, do so. He just seems disinterested in the class and it feels like he teaches because he has to. Unwilling to help and unapproachable!
