Comment:

I asked a question on the material and he glared as if he was going to hit me. I took an exam in a room and he forgot about me and left. He came back in 5 minutes and accused me of cheating to see my reaction. I wanted to cry. He's too intense.

Kevin was the best out of the 2, he made this class...which is known for it's high fail rate...seem okay at times. He did get sidetracked but made his lectures fun which made you want to pay attention.

Comment:

Cool prof but he wasted almost an entire class period on Red Sox. Though people enjoyed it, it's not what I pay big $ to hear. I would prefer the lecture segment he skipped, over seeing his son flip off the yankees. Nice guy though. Wastes serious BIO major people's time. Good for non-BIO majors.

Comment:

Very clear and focused. Knows the material and can put it into laments terms, unlike the professors. I can follow him very well and enjoy the lectures.

Kevin is wonderful in comparisson to the other two BIO 100 teachers. He is a real person, entertaining, and has clear notes in lecture. He is always available to help and offer words of encouragement.

Comment:

Kind of goofy. He's okay I guess. He has weird analogies. Seems like a nice guy though and probably helpful. Hard class, but it's the material, not his fault

I loved how he put analogies to the concepts we were learning. I made something that seemed impossible so easy. Great lecturer and easy to follow.

Comment:

I thought Kevin was the best teacher. The dress analogy was great and I will never forget what an intron is. Granted maybe he simplified more in lecture than he should have if he was going to ask the types of questions that were on exams. Nice guys though

Comment:

Poor lecturer. Tries to oversimplify the information and then asks complex questions on exams. Won't stop with the baseball and fishing analogies. Jumps around a lot. Always making excuses for his lecture style.
