BSC 2010 - Bio I - Cellular Processes
MY FAVORITE TEACHER AT USF :)
Pros:
Very enthusiastic, always available to help his students, very fair, lectures were very informative & to the point - only taught what you need to know for exams
Cons:
None really...tests are sometimes a little tough, but if you study and attend class it is very possible to get an A:)

BSC 2010 - Bio I - Cellular Processes
He's a pretty cool guy teaching wise. He's very enthusiastic and you won't fall asleep in his class when you pay attention and take notes. But his tests are REALLY hard.... He makes the tests like 1 word difference could screw you up and the choices to choose from always confuses you.

Everything he speaks in class is on the test, never read the book is pointless in his class.

BSC 2010
Bio I - Cellular Processes
Pros: He seems like a very nice fun guy so he is willing to help you out and give you hints on whats going to be on the exams, and he give worksheets of the quizzes with the exact questions on them before the quiz is due.
Cons: His exams are so specific and anal
Memorize his slides like the back of your hands, every diagram, every little word.....and you'll be ok.

Bio I - Cellular Processes
He's a really great teacher. Lecture goes by so fast. He's young and knows what he's talking about. His tests can be tricky. He's one of those rare professors who actually expect you to learn. A lot. Put forth plenty of effort. Procrastination will not help. Not at all.

Pros: Made the class interesting
Easy to understand
Easy to understand
Cons: Hard to catch in his office
Have taken Upadhyaya twice now and taking him again for Cell Bio. For both classes I've had all I did was go to every class and take good notes and I never even opened a book! :)

Bio I - Cellular Processes
He is very knowledgeable in biology and tries his best to answer any questions you might have. He always goes over certain parts that may be confusing for tests and always has review sessions.

Always energetic! Exams are based off lecture notes. I think the quizzes are harder than the exams. My class had 6 exams and 9 quizzes, one quiz dropped. This class is a typical biology/science class.

Tests can be tricky because he does that 'one of these' "two of these" "most of these" type thing
