BIOCORE 382
Quality 5/5Difficulty 2/5
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.

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 held

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.

Seth was the best professor I could ask for! He is a biological genius and he loves his job. It's great to have conversations about bio stuff with him since he can go on for hours!
