His final was really hard way harder than his practice finals but I actually really liked him! He always ended his lectures with some interesting real world applications of evolution and I thought that was dope. Learned a lot of really interesting random facts. Didn't use the textbook but printed out his lecture slides and rewatched his lectures!

Really liked his lecture slides. His final on the other hand....

He explained stuff in a very clear way that one may think that he sometimes overdo it. Tons of example questions on every lectures material so nothing to worry about on the exam, practice is all you need.

How to study for this class: use his condensed notes and watch lectures 1.5x speed (don't need to and don't go to lecture, its too easy to not focus), do about 30 questions from his practice ones and you'll be fine. I only studied for 1 day before the final and got a B on the final which means you'll probs get an A if you study a week ahead.

He is very structured and organized in his teaching - make sure to attend the lectures. Use the resources he provides: video explanations of practice problems, study guide problems, lecture recordings. He is great at explaining concepts, but do enough practice until you really understand the material.

I've received A's in organic chemistry, physics, MCDB, but I ended up with a C- in this class all because of Rice's final. His final included a lot of paragraphs on paragraphs of reading. I did the practice problems but the final was definitely still very difficult. Claims that you don't need to memorize much, but you do. Ex: the HIV mutation rate

Even is an extremely dry and boring lecturer. However, he is crystal clear and explains concepts very well. In my opinion, don't go to class and watch the video recordings at 1.5 speed. Everyone thought his test was hard, but if you do the practice problems he posts, you won't get tricked on the test -- I got a 92 on his portion. Do the problems.

Rice is the worst teacher I've had. Complicates material by using intricate examples just to derive simple concepts. But that's exactly what his final is like, be prepared for a mentally exhausting exam w/ long passages to read. Claims that the final is identical to practice problems but he presented some info differently that makes it even harder

If you want a decent grade, you better do the majority of his practice questions (the ones at the end because they're similar to the exam). The practice questions are extremely similar to the actual test. The math questions are easy, while the conceptual ones (especially from the last week of class) are hard.

His exams are very tough. Most of the questions on the final were on practicals. There isn't a huge curve in this class. Most of the students are not equipped with the knowledge to do well in a course like this yet.

His lectures are clear and interesting. He provides alot of help with his hundreds of problems from previous finals. His final is moderate in difficulty.

His section of EEMB 2 is tough, not going to lie. You NEED to do practice problems as soon as his lectures begin if you want a chance at passing the class. Work on them as many times as possible, as early as possible. Do NOT do them the night before. Make sure you rehash your critical reading skills too, you will need them to dissect his problems.
