Comment:

I hated this course, He was not halpful at all, his classes were extremely boring and it was hard to pay attention. You do NEED to go to his classes because he says things that are not in his notes and he then puts them in his tests. Terrible Prof. I used to love biology and because of him I can't stand the course.

Comment:

Good prof, makes the concepts easily understandable even though there're not that hard to understand anyway. His accent make's his teaching a little more interesting even though the course is dead boring, not his fault but a good prof all around.

Comment:

Don't go to class. Read the notes on the web (EXACT same thing). I didn't go to class and I got a 90. He also gives the same tests every year, so it's worth finding them from somebody.

Comment:

smart, witty, man with a cute accent that knows his stuff.classes are not all that interesting and are not essential to go to as he just repeats whats on his website.can be quite scary sometimes when he yells.may not be the best person to ask questions to in class but is wicked during office hours!

Comment:

Nice fellow, but not great in lectures. Reads from his powerpoint the entire time... would prefer to see some aspects of the course written out (intead of on screen). Midterms heavily rely on his lectures while the final does not.

Comment:

Extremely easy teacher. You don't even have to go to class to do well in this course, everything you are required to know is on the webpage. For exams, just know the notes and you'll do well. His tests are very straight forward, no trick questions. Very approachable and understanding too.

Comment:

He knows his material, we see that the way he just spits out facts. He should try to make his notes better for students to read, rather than fact after fact! More discussion is needed in class, and a better way of giving students the material.

Comment:

His method of putting the entire class in jot-note form makes it near impossible to learn. I wish there was more discussion about what we were learing, not just a check lists of what we need to know

Comment:

I'm a 3rd year student taking this course, have excellent study habits & I JUST HATE HIS APPROACH TO THIS! The lectures are boring, redundant, and pointless. There is no 'teaching', just reciting of jot notes he has stockpiled on his powerpoint and then class is over. What an enormous waste of time!

Comment:

Really knows his stuff, and lectures are mostly interesting. By setting the notes up on his website, and by utilizing it to keep us informed of whats going on with the course, kept it straighforward. Would like to have again.

Listen, This guy rocks, he knows his stuff and is a great prof....he shouldn't be rated by first year students blaming him for their slack study habits or lack of interest in biology
