Professor Raupp was a great teacher but your grade is really up to your TA. His tests were not easy but were not terribly hard either. The final was easy and he lets you drop one of your older tests and take an optional exam after the final to replace it. Overall very nice guy but if you aren't into bio I would take another lab requirement instead |

ok idk what da heck the first person was talking about. THIS CLASS IS NOT (IS NOT) AN EASY !!!!! they lied. if ur not a science major of any type then don't take this class. lab was at 8 in the morning for 3 long hours!!!! wth!!?? and it's just really boring. it's not the professor's fault cuz raupp was actually cool. if you dnt hav any interest in bio then take another science course for non-science major in order to fulfill your core |

An awesome teacher, with a great amount of experience, knowledge, and wisdom. Some teachers that have tenure or have gotten old at Maryland have become decadent and unresponsive, but Raupp definitely cares about his students. His lectures are easy to follow, fun, and very interesting, and he often fills in with real-world stories and applications. He is a great talker, and he makes sure that he answers all questions during lecture. In addition, he has very easy 5 point quizzes in lecture on Thursdays that are a great way to boost your grade (he drops the lowest 2 which helps just in case you got a 4/5 one day). On Tuesdays, I stopped going to class, but luckily his lecture notes are so helpful that there is no need to stress in this class. Easy, easy, easy A, and easy, easy, easy way to get a CORE Lab Science taken care of in Life Sciences. Easiest BSCI lab class there is, by far, and I'm a Computer Science major, so I enjoy not having intense biology classes. |

Lectures are decently interesting, and he occasionally makes weird remarks to keep you awake. I took this class to fulfill a core requirement, and found that the exams were much more difficult than he seems to think. The exams are mostly multiple choice with a few short answer, and he tends to ask some nitpicky details. He puts his own notes online, but they are too comprehensive to just study before the test. Go to lecture and highlight them while he talks. He also gives in-lecture quizzes once a week for easy points, so go to class. |
