really hard Class. Teacher does not post quizzes and answers for test review. If you have a job, do not take this class during summer.

Quality 3/5Difficulty 4/5
Luckily there are three sections in this course, because Dean's part is tough. Our class average was a 63 on his test. I managed a B, but I studied for two weeks ahead of time. Definitely the hardest section of Bio 152.

Although his exam was tough, if you study hard throughout his section of the class, you should do alright. he's very helpful if you ask him for help. makes you understand the material rather than just memorize structures. favorite prof is 151/152 so far
