His notes are very helpful and understandable. Weekly quizzes keep you on top of the material. Test can be very difficult if you dont understand the lectures/notes because most of the test is written. Nice personality encourages questions to further extend knowledge.

He's an amazing, compassionate, and understanding professor. He's always willing to help students out and his lectures and slides are detailed and interesting. His quizzes and exams are off of his (fill in the blanks) notes, and I have not used my textbook at all. He brings different bones and fossils to class and ties it into his class. Super fun.

Take Ken! His lectures are so engaging he makes the most boring topics somehow fascinating and hilarious. His weekly quizzes keep you on top of the workload and the note packages help a lot when it come to reviewing for exams. Only con is he is tough marker and looks for specific wording of things.

Ken is a very caring professor who is opened with questions that his students ask. Hi explanations and responses to the students' questions are so clear and thorough. He gives weekly quizzes (not very hard) on his power point lecture notes and you will be able to answer them without any difficulty as long as you review your notes regularly

His quizzes/midterms were harder than I thought they'd be. He's amazing at teaching and his lectures were very, very good but I didn't really like him or the class for some reason.. Everyone else seemed to have a blast though! :)

Dude. Do it. Nauman is a very animated teacher, so his lectures will not put you to sleep. There's a lot of material and the tests are a little heavy, but trust me you'll do fine as long as you take good notes and study. I genuinely enjoyed his lectures and I hope you will too :)

Ken Naumann is an amazing professor. I found his lectures fascinating and the note packets he provides make it easy to stay organized an on top of the material. He is also very clear about what to expect on exams. I would definitely take another class taught by him.

Ken is an amazing professor. He covers a lot of material in each lecture but he makes it very interesting and entertaining. His passion for biology is so evident that it's almost contagious. He's very helpful and patient during office hours as well. Take him if you can, you won't regret it!

If you thinking of taking Biology courses, take Ken! I had him for the first semester at Langara, and his lectures were amazingly good! He inspired me to study more biology and I really enjoy it. His exams are hard, I have to say. You need a lot of preparation for them. But he's always there for you to help, and he's one of the greatest bio prof!!

Comment:

The most amazing biology class ever had. Passes out fossils or materials to give us a wider sight in biology. Very consistent and gives clear instructions. Sometimes he tells you not to copy sth on the board and asks u to do it at home by urself, which can efficiently gain a better understanding of the materials.

Ken teaches the material very well. For and biology course memorization takes time to study but the lectures and note packets Ken provides makes it super easy to study the correct material. The quizzes are super straight forward from the notes and exams are the same way. Send some time studying and you'll do very well.

Amazing. Probably the best professor I've had in post-secondary, his lectures are clear and engaging and he makes acing his class entirely straight forward. It's clear that he is passionate about the subject and material and that makes learning it 100x easier, if you have the option TAKE HIS CLASS!!

Ken is a very nice and enthusiastic teacher. He states very clear what he expects from you, just attend classes and focus on his handouts, you will get an A+ like I do. No need to read the book or Launchpad. He always welcome you in his office and explain questions using vivid examples so very clear, funny and easy to remember. Good GPA booster.

Comment:

Thought his class would be easy BUT I was WRONG. He is a very hard marker especially on exams. Make sure you study your ass off for his exams. Also attend every class for notes or rely on someone to give you the notes because you will need them! His lectures are boring.
