Comment:

He is a nice, smart guy but the class is a bit boring. All students had to do 3 presentations. One was on a chapter in the book, and the other two on a topic of your choice. Listen when he talks b/c that is what the final exam is based. Try to avoid purchasing the book and borrow one from a classmate. You only read 1 ch.

Easy but hard class!3 tests-test one, midterm and final. They are all hard even with study sheets. Somehow if you don't pass them theres a crazy curve to save you haha!This class is twice a week with a lab. There is also a 8 page research paper which was rough. Do well on research paper and lab and you should be okay.Take if you need a science.

easy class, easy going guy. sense of humor. helpful feedback. learned a bit. i nicknamed this class "power point watching class". not bad at all, just do your research and know what you're talking about. pretty easy for a required class.

Comment:

Not what I was expecting. So much more could be done with this course. He's not a bad professor, but the class is just very dull and basic. Tests are mostly from the text. You really just need to teach yourself, his review sheets are helpful for 50% of the tests. Doesn't seem like he reads the papers, a shame for those that actually do the work.

If anything, sit towards the front because I sometimes had a little trouble hearing him. The class was done for non-science majors and that's what you can expect.

Comment:

The class wasn't what I was expecting but it was alright. Lectures are pointless, labs are interesting most of the time. Tests are based completely off textbook readings, so if you don't look at the book then you might not do well on them.

Comment:

I never attended lectures but always attended labs - late. Never did anything. He rambles about the same crap at each lecture....MAKE SURE you read the textbook for tests. He is one of those super easy teacher/super hard tests kinda guys. If you read and take notes on the chapter, you'll be sure to ace the tests =)

Comment:

i looked forward to taking this class, but was disappointed b/c it was boring and not taught well. the lectures were pointless as many students read the paper or were on their laptops, and the exams were easy as long as you read the text. the final paper is long but not challenging. if you want a good grade take this but you wont learn much.
