Professor Ntambi did not give a flying hoot about the class. He was never prepared for lecture, his exams did not follow his "lecture goals" at all. His exam was really easy, but he did not care about teaching. He didn't even bother posting an answer key to his practice exam. Unfortunate when teachers don't care about a class.

I have to admit that he is a nice professor, but the exam is very detailed oriented and it is a little difficult to know what would be on the exam based on his lectures. However, if you go through them everyday, it's not a big deal. His accent is funny as well. Not a professor you should avoid, exams are just a bit harder than others.

His exams are based on the tiniest details from his notes, facts from a lot of random & unnecessary slides & a few broad, super easy questions. So, basically, you have to know all of the details. Go to class and continually study over the course of the unit and you should be fine. Cramming won't work for this class because you'll forget details.

He's really nice, and he's aware of his heavy accent. The material for this part of the course is really difficult, but he does an okay job. He could stand to spell out the most important enzymes in a pathway, but if you pay enough attention in class, you could do much better than I did. It's also funny how he needs 99% on iClicker Q's to move on.

Great class! Never need to open the textbook though it is provided, just keep up with the work and an A should not be a problem!

Professor Ntambi has a beautiful voice. It's low and soothing and I wish his voice could read me a bedtime story. Academically speaking, he is a very good educator and makes the material engaging!

BIOCHEM501: Professor Ntambi has a very thick accent. He's aware of it, so he's happy to try to speak more clearly if someone has trouble understanding him. His lectures are usually easy to follow, but once in a while he gets mumbly and you have no clue what he's talking about. He'll hint at future exam questions during the lecture, so go to class!
