I took LS3 with Dr. Campbell.

Lets start with the positives. Dr. Campbell is very nice and he tries really hard to be a good professor. He grades quite leniently which is nice. His tests only test on lecture slides and they are very fair. His final is not cumulative which saved my life in that class. The midterms and finals are weighed evenly so it could be a good or bad thing. Also, he podcasts, so you don't have to go to lecture which is nice. I listened to podcasts so I can go at my own pace.

Now the negatives. Dr. Campbell is quite boring to listen to. He's not even close to being the best lecturer in the ls department. I rarely went to lecture, but when I did, I fell asleep. His lectures are the best treatment for insomnia. The material itself is extremely boring. DNA/RNA crap for 10 weeks is just way too much. I've never been so sick of a science topic in my life. The textbook is really really bad, but you don't have to read it cuz he tests on lecture material. His test questions sometimes are worded very strangely and can be confusing.

Overall, class with Dr. Campbell isn't the best ls class, but its not the worst. I think molecular bio is pretty tough and boring itself so I can't really blame the professor.
