BIOCHEM 508
Quality 5/5Difficulty 4/5
Kind, accessible during office hours, and you can tell that he really enjoys + understands his lecture unit. Lectures were well-organized and presented. His test prep was very faithful to the actual exam and clear about what to know. Understand the TopHat questions as they will be on the exam!! Always brought candy to the exams + office hours too.
