Rothman is incredibly clear and organized. His slides are top notch and his problem sets (which he posts on gaucho each week) are good practice of what you need to know for exam. He gives you clear direction on what to do to be successful in class: go to every lecture, review, do problem sets. That's it. He made something as dull as biochem OK!!
One of the best professors at UCSB. Textbook is useless, so must go class. He will try to trick you on the exam, but the class is essentially a repeat of Chem 109C so it's easy. He gives you problem sets and 2 old exams to study on. Great class.
Amazing professor! Lectures are always entertaining. The class is very well organized and he is clear about his expectations. He's very reasonable about the detail of info you need to know. He makes it easy to succeed by posting practice problems & exams. Do these and you will do well. Textbook is not required.
This has been my favorite MCDB course so far. You have to go to class, but you'll love going. Mahan is a hilarious goofball with a passion for pathology. The tests are tough, but come purely from the notes he gives you. When he shows a video at the end, trust me, you should stay.
Rothman is hands down probably one of my favorite professors and that's coming from someone who hates chemistry and had this class at 8am. The way he lectures definitely gets the point across effectively so you don't feel confused or bored. He's direct in what he expects from you and I felt as though his tests were very fair. Prof Low ruined it tho
The best teacher I've had in MCDB so far. The class challenges you to think beyond memorizing facts and figures.
mahan is my favorite professor at ucsb! he is hilarious and super helpful. if you're into microbio and corny jokes like i am you'll love the class.. it's not easy, a lot of facts to memorize, but it's pretty straight forward. overall, great prof, great class!
Dr. Rothman is an awesome professor! He's the chair of the department so he's very busy, but if you go to his office hours he's great. The class itself is straightforward and not difficult, but you must work to get an A. The problem sets are necessary for exam practice. Also, his wine-making jokes are hilarious!
Very straightforward in lectures and on tests. He will not try to trick you. He gives practice problems and practice tests, so if you study all of them (which isn't that much compared to other classes) you will do fine.
Mahan is one of the top professors in MCDB dept. Extremely helpful during office hours. I highly recommend taking this class. Also he is really funny in lecture. The class is tough, but put in the time and go to OH and you'll do great.
awesome professor. has passion for what he teaches and amazingly can make a class about bacteria interesting. his awkward and stupid jokes keep me laughing for days. i always look foward to coming to his class.
He is hilarious! This class could be really boring but he teaches it well and is genuinely interesting. His corny jokes keep the class fun and upbeat!
Very fun! Very helpful! Great prof. Classes are hard, but no one ever said science was supposed to be easy. Taking his class was a great experience!
Hilarious guy
