John Glendinning

This class is very easy if you just look at his learning objectives and memorize the answers. However, I wouldn't really say it's a classic stats class. For one, we don't use calculators and there aren't any clear stats tests to do on exams. If you're really trying to get stats experience, I wouldn't recommend this class. Yes, his lectures can get boring, but overall, he's super nice and really cares about you learning.

Not a huge fan. Pretty disorganized. He read from the slides, but sometimes it did not seem like he knew what he was talking about. Lots of extra credit opportunities tho. Take this class with literally any other prof.

A unique class on a topic not often thought about in the academic context. The first month or so is very neuroscience-y, however the rest of the class feels more like a psychology or anthropology, as it focuses on culture, human behavior, and sociological frameworks. I found this class very interesting, but it is a niche topic, so if you're not really interesting in talking about food, culture, how/why we perceive flavors, then I might not take it. I do think I learned a lot of "fun facts" and things that changed how I think about food and my day-to-day life, so it still feels relevant. Professor Glendinning is the sweetest most patient professor ever!! He is honestly so chill. He does ramble/talk a lot at times and doesn't keep track of classtime well, but he makes up for it by being so nice.

Great Professor! Talked us through each lab is great detail and helps you out with anything. He is super clear about lab report expectations. One of the easiest labs to take if you are looking for an upper level lab. Cannot recommend him enough.

I had Prof. Glendinning for physiology this semester, and I loved the class and his teaching style! He sets very clear, reasonable expectations for students, so you never have to wonder what will or won't be on the exams. The class is very process-based (it's physiology, obviously) and it's great for people interested in real world applications of bio, like medicine or sports. I also love that he includes research articles in the coursework. His lectures are very clear and organized. The textbook isn't necessary, but it's great to use as a reference if something, in particular, has been difficult to understand. Prof. Glendinning also asks lots of questions during class, so those who do the readings or preview the slides can feel rewarded for their efforts when they know the answers. He brought a real brain to class one time, so be prepared for that! Overall a great class, 10/10 would recommend!

Extremely nice and helpful during his office hours. He was always patients and willing to answer any type of question (that is not a given for all professors). He is a clear lecturer and provided slides which allowed us to spend most of the class paying attention to what he had to say and not worrying about writing everything down. He summarized the textbook information in a clear concise manner and really stressed the important part of the chapters. (In terms of the tests he does ask questions about the reading but not too many that are super random and obscure) Overall, he is a very kind person and a clear teacher. The class is challenging and requires a lot of work but it is fair. (He only taught the class for half of the semester and then switched with Professor Callahan)

Worst professor I've had during my 3 years here. He thinks he's so smart, but he really knows nothing besides what he's put on his slides and reads off of during class. Don't take this class if you don't need to. The class looks like its easy, but since the tests are completely unpredictable and not based on the material you really have no idea what to expect. I wish there was a way to have this man stop teaching. It really is a crime. A waste of my time and money. I really can't explain how much I really hate this guy. HORRIBLE CLASS. STAY AWAY.

While he is a nice professor whose powerpoint lectures are organized and concise, his tests ask you to connect ideas in novel ways that were not discussed in class. He is extremely anal with his grading and hardly gives partial credit. He is often unresponsive and unhelpful with questions, and does not seem to be very knowledgeable in the subject. He also at times contradicts himself. While the material covered is very interesting, the professor is not a very good one. I would not recommend him.

Reads off of the slides and going to lecture isn't really necessary except for occasional pollevs which measure attendance but you can take those from anywhere. Fair curves so that a good amount of people get A's, B's etc.

2 Lab reports (1 being for the final project), Pre-lab quizzes every week, Lab report questions due every week
