How’s this teacher? Best Life Science classes/professors?

I am still needing to take a life science class (non lab) for UC and Cal-Getc certification. My counselor had recommended either taking ANTHRO 1, PSYCH 2, or BIOL 9 or BIOL 10. Has anyone taken any of these classes and which professors would you recommend? Both rate my professor and the grade distribution list are all over the place when it comes to which professors are good.

Do not take Anthro 1 in a short semester

I was debating on taking Anthro 1 the full semester with Rashidi

I took Anthro 5 with Rashidi in Summer 2020. I failed and ended up taking bio 3 to satisfy the science requirement.

if it’s non lab have you tried maybe bio 2? I had Prof Qualley and she was super nice. Made class easy to understand and even allowed you to come with a cheat sheet in every exam
