Prof. Sears teaches an extremely challenging course and is not for the unmotivated or for those who don't like a challenge. This class will teach you how to think outside the box and really test your ability to understand the main concepts. Those who blame Dr. Sears for the inability to do well should really rethink their investment into the clas

A Great professor that treats you well if you do well. You have to be motivated in his class, and his tests are fairly simple if you know what he wants you to know. Don't wait until last minute to ask questions. I highly recommend taking the accompanying 108AL protein lab in conjunction with 108. You will do better.

dr. sears is hard (and i thought Bruice was pretty bad)... he gave us stupid online quiz (that is worth almost 20% of ur grade) during the FIRST week of school!!! i was so pissed at him, but he's actually pretty nice in person. all of his test r open-book, but don't be fooled, it's pretty hard.

one of the tuffest classes ever. re-think this one. I worked so hard and got through somehow. however tests are extremely difficult and tricky. I liked him as a person...but im not sure class needs to be this tuff.

Montonous voice...really hard to stay awake in. Slides are overwhelming. Exams are just as overwhelming. Open notes/books but still EXTREMELY hard. Be prepared for anything because he is not very sympathetic when it comes to exam day. He does expect you to have prepared thoroughly.

Avoid this class by all means, I spend $200+ just on his books, readers and other class materials and I found the class to be a horrible experiance. Take Chem 142 series instead

Wow is this guy hard. I learned from the class, but studied so hard for it I did poor in my other class... he demands a lot of time.

Prof. Sears teaches his lecture like he is giving a 10 week refresh seminar to his peers. If youre not a immunologist, be prepared to learn it all with no help from his lecture.

Ugh. He's infatuated with his ppt presentations, and he's late to class almost every day. All he does is read the slides to you, but you've already got printed copies on his handouts. Makes attending class seem redundant. I'm an A student, and I barely got a B-. I leaned much more from the TA.

he is sooooo boring! i'm hoping that his immuno class is better because you could tell he doesn't like biochem at all. parts were helpful, but overall i wanted to sleep everytime i walked in the room

Nice guy who cares about teaching. Once you get a hang of his testing style, you can really learn a lot from him.

I had Dr. Sears for both 108A and 133 and am sorry I didn't get to take med immuno with him. He was an excellent teacher!! I'm in grad school now at stanford and I am applying both some immuno and a LOT of the kinetics info to my research

This prof. should not longer teach 108A. Those lec's with those ppt slides put you to sleep. He's is by far one of theeee worse professors I've ever had. If you have to take him, be prepared for that final!

he also teaches MCDB 133. I don't know, I got a C in 108A and an A+ in 108B. I don't think he writes tests that are useful in anyway. Seriously reconsider taking MCDB 133, but take 108A, 110 is for slow kids.

He's a little better with his immunology class. Immunology is his primary area of interest so he's a little more enthusiastic. He's a harmless old man who's actually kind of funny every now and then.
