Comment:

Worst prof I've ever had, didn't even finish the course material, and the only person that could possibly make a story about catching poisonous water snakes while waist deep in a river in the middle of the night so boring you could fall asleep.

He is a very sweet prof who is always willing to help you. He makes the class exciting with his humor and views on politics.

Has powerpoint notes which he follows exactly - a good thing; don't even need to read the text; exams are insanely easy but he's kinda boring

Comment:

Nicknamed Grandpa Cass should say it all. He's a nice person and is helpfull in the labs and always has something to say, which just might be the problem. He goes on and on and on... His notes are snore-inducing and have so much in them. You'll end up falling asleep or watching the clock.

Comment:

He will never get through all his material, but his exams are very fair and if you study even a little bit you will do well. He doesn't use the textbook much, if at all, so the amount of assigned reading is also minimized.

Comment:

I would not recommend taking the course from him if you plan on using bio 108 as a prereq for anything! He spends too long talking about things that have no pertinence to the course, or if they do, they are not all that imporant. But the tests are ok.

Such a sweet old man but he never talks about anything that has anything to do with the course. Notes online so it's one of those classes that people just don't go to

I agree with everyone about his slow pace. His tests are fair, if you studied you will for sure do not too bad. Very nice guy too.

Dr. Cass is an amazingly nice guy- a little slow on delivery- so it leads to a little napping here and there, but overall the slower he goes, the less is on the tests!!! Super nice guy!

Comment:

He's a great guy. Acts like such a grandpa. He moves at a very slow pace with lots of distractions (but they have to do with the topic and can give a better understanding). I fell asleep in every one of his classes and then stopped going, but he's good.
