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
