Dr. Bob was the best professor/teacher I've ever had. He was so interested in what he was teaching and inspired his students to learn more. He was always there for extra help, whether it was in his office or promptly answering emails. He made me obsessed with biology and inspired my career choice. Everyone loves him

Great professor. Really drills the material into your head with quizzes online and in class everyday- sounds dreadful, but so helpful! Exams are long, but doable. Almost all of the exam and quiz questions were on online quizzes, so easy to study for. No surprises.

Dr. Bob is amazing at what he does. He forces you to learn the work but is so easy to approach for help or any questions you have. He loves what he teaches and is one of the better professors on campus.

Comment:

Holdsworth is great and i highly reccommend taking his class. the online quizzes boost your grade and as long as you know the outlines that he gives out, you should get higher than a B on his tests. the tests and in class quizzes are drawn straight front he online quizzes so as long as you take them repeatedly, you should do well.

He is an awesome teacher. It's hard, but he will do whatever it takes to make sure you understand it. Tests and quizzes are straightforward, but you still learn a lot. More teachers should be like him.

Every biology major has had Bob for a class or lab and everyone loves him. He really cares about his students and his class is easy if you do his online tests. BOB IS BIOLOGY and should be head of the department.

Dr. Bob is one of the best teachers I have had.Lectures are to the point with good humor thrown in.The class material is somewhat difficult but he makes it easily understood.Lots of quizzes and tests but his class adequately prepares you.He understands how hard college life is and how stressful it can be which enables work to be easily made up.

THE BEST TEACHER I HAVE EVER HAD! HE WILL GIVE YOU THE SAME AMOUNT OF ENERGY THAT HE EXPECTS YOU. CHALLENGING BUT NOT IMPOSSIBLE. A LOT OF WORK, BUT VERY STRAIGHT FORWARD AND WILL DO WHATEVER HE CAN TO HELP YOU. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS CLASS TO ANYONE. THERE SHOULD BE MORE TEACHERS LIKE DR.BOB AT WNEC AND AT OTHER SCHOOLS AS WELL.

Comment:

He is fantastic! Never a dull moment in lecture or lab. He has creative ways of having you remember vocab and use vocab, whether it is by the flash cards or by the computer program on the disc, there is something there for every learning style. I am trying to go into teaching and hope I can be half as good as he at teaching biology. Very helpful and fair. No artifical learning here. It will stay with you.
