Comment:
Hes alright. Hes VERY arrogant which is extremely irritating to me, but he is very smart. The labs are usually group labs and are fairly easy. Test wasnt bad if you study, and he does curve. Take notes on the PowerPoint slides! His lectures are all pictures with no explanation so studying his lectures are nearly impossible if you dont.

Comment:
Its a pretty tough class and he doesn't have a grading scale. Instead, he takes the top 3 in the class and gives them an A, the next 10-15 get an A- and so on. He sometimes gives pop quizzes in class but they're very easy. The tests are really hard and you gotta read the textbook because lectures aren't very helpful and he rambles most of the time.

Although he may seem funny at first but as the year progresses you may see a different side of him. He is very arrogant and will never say your right. Tests are very hard and will expect you to know random pieces of the class. Very harsh grader.

Comment:
I'm not sure where to begin. Could have been an easy class but lazy me made it much more difficult than it had to have been. Ended up wit a B+ although I did extremely bad on the exams. Tale notes because even though he posts his PPT, you will be utterly confused just looking though them with no notes.

Hard to rate the difficulty for prof. Bob. While there was basically no work for this class, during the 2nd to last week he dropped a final on us which we were totally unprepared for. Doesn't grade it harshly though. Really only learn from the field trips which are really cool.

Fun class, all about attendance so getting up at 830 is rough. The labs are easy and there are no tests. very laid back class but still learn a lot. you learn to learn. And he knows everything about what he teaches.

Demicco is an okay professor. People usually take this class for the easy grade that you do not really have to work for. However, do not slack off though. And do well on the midterm because he sometimes makes the final optional and if you dont take the final, he counts your midterm grade twice.

He teaches Geol213/336/366. I took the first two. He is the laziest person I've ever known. Others here say they learned a lot from him, but I don't think that's true. Be nice to him. GO to the field trip at the end of the semester because he might exempt you from final. I ended up missing every final field trips. Be humble and friendly to him.

Great class, one of the few bio classes that rewards thinking instead of memorization. Write what he says, slides aren't as helpful.

Comment:
Bob is the greatest teacher in this school, in my opinion. He wants kids to do well, so he doesn't try to impress everyone, as much as make people understand the material. However, he often gives take-home exams which are very challenging, because you can't find answers on the internet. You will learn a lot from this man, he is truly a genious.

an easy way to bring up your gpa, he gives nothing lower than a B- unless you really really slack off. He gave us the option to write summaries of magazine articles instead of taking final exam!

Comment:
Tests are elementary but takes off points just because he wants too and not because you deserve to have points taken off. Lab is a joke. Why it has a lab? Hva eno idea. Class was boring as was the teacher and his constant jokes. If you need a lab desparately, take the class other wise do something more interesting.

This guy is the man! If you take BIOL 372 with Demicco, the lowest you can get is a B. Almost nobody fails this class.

His class is pretty easy. I didn't put much work in and still got a good grade. I did mediocre on the midterm, so-so on my lab practical and really good on the final and ended up with an A-. Some advice on the exams: Don't just answer the question, write everything you know and you'll do great.
