Comment:

Great prof, interesting course, very clear slides. Midterm/exam cover lecture material only. Labs are cool, but you need to do a fair bit of studying to do well (80+) in this course.

Very boring, but his exams / midterms are very fair if you know the material. The labs really help out in the class!

Comment:

Not a great professor, but not terrible. He contradicts himself sometimes so you have to know the material beforehand to not get mixed up. The exams were fairly easy if you study a lot. A background in anatomy or physiology helps, even if it's human because humans are vertebrates too.

Comment:

This class is pretty easy and Dr. Taylor is very fair in his tests and exams. Everything comes straight from the course notes and the textbook is not even necessary. I didn't buy it and frankly, I'm glad that I didn't. Labs are pretty easy to get a good mark in, I hardly studied before hand and got perfect on 90% of the lab quizzes.

He is a bad professor. I would have never made it to his class if it hadn't been for the fact that he is so beautiful. BY FAR the hottest professor at the University of Waterloo...

Comment:

His tone of voice makes the lectures that already contain dry material incredibly boring. His exams are tough. Labs are a pain. If you take 211, keep up with your memorizations.

Boring lecturer, but clear enough. Tests are hard because of the amount of detail you need to know. Labs are cool though!

This guy's really nice and really knows his stuff, but he doesn't make for a very interesting lecturer. He's very helpful and is easy to talk to.
