Christopher Capp BCHM464 Anonymous 05/08/2024	This class took up the majority of my time this semester and was very rigorous. The content itself is useful for people who want to pursue a career in research or biochemistry but it is required for all biochemistry and some nutrition majors. You really learn how to write well which is what I appreciated. As for Dr. Capp, he is a very interesting man. I felt that he was quite inaccessible and wasn't at his office hours at the later half of his time that he posted on his syllabus, which was frustrating. He also does not respond to emails that well. Our TAs also did not have office hours. I think he might be too preoccupied with his 461 and 463 classes to really care about us (there was like 30-40 people at most) and he sometimes laughed about some of us who were on the verge of failing (honestly very discouraging). Perhaps I just don't like people who have such strong personalities like he does, but I wish he structured things differently and was more involved with his students. All I will say is that don't take this class for the funsies!
Christopher Capp BCHM464 Expecting an A Anonymous 05/24/2023	This course really weighed heavily on me the whole semester. There were always assignments to be done the second one assignment was completed. And any assignment there was required hours and hours of work, there was no such thing as putting in half effort and just getting a bad grade, because you could put hours into an assignment and you would still get a bad grade. My entire time in the class I felt highly discouraged because no matter how hard I tried, both in lab and on assignments, it was never good enough. The whole class just felt like I was working my butt off and only ever getting mediocre grades, and so it never once felt like my hard work was awarded. Anyways, that's my experience with the class. I enjoyed my TA tho, they were a chiller, and actually very encouraging.
