<p>hello. im checking the class scheule and i don't know which professor to take for LS1 and 2.
LS1-Halpin or shipe/esdin LS2-simmons/cooper or phelan. All of the professor seems hard but which one would u recommend taking? thank you.</p>
<p>Phelan is really really good at lecturing, but his class is HARD.</p>
<p>darn.!! so do u recommend him? dump...</p>

he is the beeeeest<3</p>
<p>also, halpin is sorta a ditz</p>
<p>halpin is ok but she sometimes gives unclear definitions for some stuff.</p>
<p>like she did not properly define paraphyly and polyphyly at all and shes been giving us a hella lot of clicker questions on em, so theyre gonna probably be on the next midterm. wikipedia solves hopefully.</p>
<p>i took phelan for ls15. granted, it's WAY easier than any of the biology majors' ls series, but i absolutely loved that class. loved it. loved phelan. loved the book he wrote (mean genes, totally the most hilarious book that will ever be "required reading." </p>
<p>in fact, i'm thinking of taking ls1 next quarter to see if life science is a field of study i'd like to pursue, thanks to ls15 and phelan (which is saying a lot, because i hated high school biology).</p>
<p>anyhow, case in point: phelan is the greatest.</p>
<p>you guys are simply saying phelan is the best and halpin is okay. how hard is the class?</p>
<p>Um...okay the deal with Phelan--in my friends and my opinion--is that you have to pretty much memorize EVERY word that comes out of his mouth to do well on the tests. He makes the lectures interesting, but it's a hard class, no doubt.
It depends on what you're looking for in a teacher. if you're looking for someone easy, then no, I would in no way recommend Phelan; you're going to have to put in a lot of work to do well. If however you want someone that won't bore you to death, then yes he's the teacher to take.</p>
