Took this class with Edgerton and Cooper. It was like night and day! Cooper was a good lecturer and explained concepts nicely and drew pictures on the overhead. Such a pleasant man, easy to listen to. Edgerton, however, had nothing of value in his lectures, didn't seem prepared at all, and spent a lot of time rambling about how we should be sure to study chapter _. Plus, his lecture slides were just the pictures from the text book. Everyone came to Cooper's lectures..no one came to Edgerton's. Also, I hated his questions on the midterm and final. I thought the final was RIDICULOUS. And he made a huge deal about making sure we knew a chapter he never went over..so I read it and there was NOTHING on it on the test. It was an interesting chapter, but took up a good 2 hours I could've used to study other stuff. He doesn't consider that we have other classes to study for as well. If you can take it with someone else, do it.

Winter 2016 - Professor Friscia's lectures were fun to attend, and the concise notes that he projected were helpful when studying for the exams. Most of his lectures about macromolecules were clear and straightforward, but things started to fall apart when he taught the sections on Embryology and the Immune System. He mixed up some terms, jumped from topic to topic, always seemed to be in a hurry, and didn't explain the concepts well enough for the students to follow and comprehend. Overall the last few lectures never really came together for me, and I had to listen to his podcasts a few times to catch the big picture.
