Comment:

Nice and friendly guy; his lectures are old-school slides, not Power Points though. It can be hard to follow along but his information and lectures are pretty vital for labs. More than willing to get to know his students and an overall friendly dude. Don't walk out in the middle of a lecture - it really pisses him off, and he'll call you out on it!

Roy is the man, hands down. You cant help but get enthused about slime mold, his passion is contagious. He loves latin, so know those scientific names, and had to dock him a point for clarity cuz he does write like a third grader, sorry!

This class is basically taught by the TAs. But, his Monday lectures are extremely boring. Good material, and he knows his stuff, but just really boring. You can skip it often and be fine.

Very funny guy! He's really nice and helpful. The man jumps around an awful lot, but the info he teaches really isn't on the practical or anything. Go to his office hours, he'll have you cracking up for hours!

his lectures are amazingly HARD to follow. he is so scattered. he's a handson type of person. go to his lectures and the study sessions. his 4 quizzes are worth a lot. the TA is your best friend for this class.
