Comment:

Class was incredibly hard. Gave short answer lab exams that required complete memorization while allowing his TA to give the other lab section an easy multiple choice test. Willing to offer help if asked, but won't budge an inch on grades.

Comment:

If he givs review sheets, study them!!! If not, youre screwed. I studied sooo hard for his class but got a B-. He sticks to minor details in class but doesnt teach you the other 99% of info he expects you to know. Also, he fails to teach you the big picture before jumping into details so the class becomes confusing.

Comment:

Oh my, very nice man, he will help you with whatever he can help you with but his lectures are very boring and unclear because he has a very mono-tone voice that sounds like a lullaby of bio. The lab was very use less and he collects the manual at the end of the semester so it's not that serious. If you dont love science this isn't the man to take.

Lectures provide A LOT of notes and his syllabus has reading assignments but he told me he doesn't even own a book! Tests are difficult and want very specific information. Avoid him if you can.

Comment:

his quizes are horrible. he acts as if its a strange concept to test us on things that he actually talked about. and he is very unclear about what he expects us to write about. he is knowledgable about the subject but doesn't know how to give tests/quizes.

Comment:

He's the nicest guy you'll meet but tests are out of left field, and NOT on concepts, but minute details in book. Very helpful if you ask questions and very laid back. Also, talks very softly. Trust me DO NOT study concepts, its pointless...DETAILS!!!!!!!!!!!

Comment:

Get a life! If you are taking bio classes next year, please avoid this man! The labs are pointless, explanations unclear, exams impossible, to sum up, A LIVING HELL! Last but not least, he hate students that pops open a soda can during the lecture, he is quite pissed off by that! Beware!

Comment:

Very nice teacher, but its true the information on his tests seem like nothing that we went over in class. But, hes very laid back and willing to answer any questions. Study something for the tests or else youll be screwed. Lots of memorization and concepts are involved.

Nice guy but don't study for test, its a waste of time. what you need to do is study everything he doesn't talk about cause thats whats on the test, don't take unless your a mind-reader.
