I recommend taking any class with Seth that you can. Seth is a fantastic professor who truly cares about each of his students and their learning and takes time to make sure you feel comfortable in the classroom. The course itself is interesting; it is graded heavily by a paper and a poster but there are a lot of chances for easy points as well.Rate My Professors ↗

Seth cares so much about the Biocore students and is incredibly detail oriented when it comes to setting up labs, which saves students work in the long run. He has an almost religious dedication to teaching. He will make dad puns #Dad2All and you will feel heldRate My Professors ↗
Seth is an awesome person. He is the greatest lab manager who always has everything set up to make Biocore run just a bit smoother. Honestly, the GOAT.Rate My Professors ↗
