BSCI443 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/17/2024 |
Dr. Ling is an excellent professor. I genuinely enjoyed his lectures and found them to be very informative. Many of the concepts covered in BSCI223/283 are revisited in this course, but in much greater detail. He does spend some time reviewing metabolism, so having a background in metabolism from Biochemistry can be helpful, though it’s not strictly necessary. Exams can be challenging, so it’s important to study hard. Dr. Ling allows you to bring in a cheat sheet with notes, and he also provides an exam study guide that outlines important concepts. These study guides were extremely helpful when preparing for the exams. Additionally, he grades students on participation and attendance, which means every point counts. Be sure to participate throughout the semester and attend class regularly. Dr. Ling truly wants everyone to succeed. This class reignited my interest in microbiology and is by far one of the best upper-level biology courses I have taken at UMD. |

AMAZING! My favorite UMD teacher (honestly all of them have made science garbage for me) He is extremely organized which I love and his slides are perfect. He is a straightforward teacher who explains things really well. The exams are so fair and his study guides prepare you well for them. You learn so much in this class. This class is far from easy, to get an A+ on each of the exams I'd study a little every day 2 weeks prior and then then 2 days before dedicate all the time to making the cheat sheet he allows. Make sure to watch the lectures and take notes on what he adds to the slides and you will secure an A :) |
