Comment:

Amazing!Took him my first year of college. You can get the book it helps, but not crucial to passing the class. Very clear but somewhat monotone. For final he will take 5 ?'s from the 3 previous exams and the rest of the final will be the current chapters covered.quizzes are online & you get 2 chances. Wonderful prof. !

Class is pretty easy, textbook is not mandatory but it helps. Professor is really clear and helpful on what will be on the exams. Study the study guides/sample exams/quizzes and it should be easy to get an A.

He literally wants to help everyone to get higher than a B in his class. He is extremely helpful. I'm so glad I got him for Bio 100. One of the easiest and nicest professors on campus :) HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

this class was BORING. but some of the videos he showed were actually somewhat entertaining. it is hard to take this class at 8 am because hollingsworth is somewhat monotone in his lectures. all in all, pretty easy GE class.

The person below, that said this class was hard either:PAID NO ATTENTION TO THE LECTURE, DIDN'T GO TO LECTURE AT ALL, IS OUT TO GET THE TEACHER, IS THE TEACHER HIM SELF TRYING TO LIMIT THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE REGISTERING FOR HIS CLASS, OR NEED SPECIAL ASSISTANCE. THIS CLASS IS NOT, I REPEAT, NOT HARD.

I really enjoyed this class. ALOT. It wasnt hard, but it wasnt super super easy. Readings are just supplemental. By going to class, taking notes, printing out the slides of the lectures, and practicing the study guides, youll get a good grade. This class is great. I would Recommend it to anyone.

He's very passionate about animals. Very informative class, imho. Class isnt mandatory, but you might miss out of some extra credit points and the stuff he discusses in class comes up in tests.

Such an easy class. I had no interest in this class before taking it but I actually learned a lot of interesting stuff. Don't buy the textbook. Just study his powerpoint slides and you should get a good grade.

Great teacher. DON'T BUY THE TEXTBOOK. Quizzes are given through bb, are open note and open book, and you have as much time as you want to take them. Gives you the first 10 answers on the test and other questions on the tests are straight from the quizzes. Don't need to go to class because he posts all the lectures online.

Class is not as easy as everyone is saying. Quizes are tough and the test is also confusing. Sure he is nice but save yourself and take a different bio class.

Comment:

So, Bio is boring. And he is a little boring. Except when he talks about animals having sex. The class is easy if you memorize his lectures for the quiz. DONT GET THE BOOK!! just read the lectures. oh and go to class because he offers extra credit quizzes that boosted my grade 8% to an A. Overall i would take this class.

If you love or even have the slightest interest in animals, you'll like this class. Every lecture there's always something interesting to learn. There are also videos to watch. =) yay! Go over previous exams to help you out with tests. It really helps. Hollingsworth really knows his stuff! Believe it or not, he believes we evolved from fishes!

Comment:

He has one if not THE most clearest English I've EVER HEARD from a Professor at State. All American; no slang at all. Which really makes a difference when you try to listen in a full lecture class of more than 200 students. Course really not that bad. Just pay attention in class, look over the slides/notes and you'll be just fine. =)

Comment:

This class is not hard. Honestly if you absolutely do not want to take biology and you despise the subject than just take this class. There are a lot of long terms/words to remember but trust me they are easy to learn in the end and differentiate. Also, take the lab for this class as well. It is so easy. The questions and test are common sense ?'s.
