Comment:
He's a good professor but he leaves majority of the learning to you. The lab journal is what really determines what grade you get in his class, he takes the lab journal seriously so don't screw it up because it will really impact your grade. Lab practical was super long and had a lot of information on it. Overall i recommend taking him

1. Memorize his PowerPoints and you'll know how to answer the MC and some essay questions 2. Study the short answer he gives you because you'll see it on the exam 3. Keep up with the Online HW (some answers online) 4. Ask questions if you're not sure 5. Sometimes gives Extra Credit if test averages are low overall 6. Go to thesessions in his office

Professor Herman is a great teacher. He teaches rather than rely on gimicks like tbl. He explains till you understands. He is compassionate And understanding. If you go to class and take notes from his power points you will pass.

He is simlpy the best! i wish he would teach more bio classes. He is clear precise and off power points. He is helpful. He wants you to pass. Don't take if you want the grades to come to you. If you want someone that is hands on and explains till you understandtake him.

Seriously the most easiest bio class I have ever taken. His exams are literally the powerpoints that you can access on blackboard. Study those and you'll make an A. I wish all science teachers were like him. He needs to teach more bio classes. But seriously, super easy class. 3 exams and a final.

Great teacher. He is very understanding that there is a world outside of his class room. Understands that many of us have jobs, marriages, and children outside of attendance. I made a strong A in his class, but I worked for it.

Very nice guy. Understanding towards working students and students with children. Will allow you to make up exams. Exams are a mix of M.C. and short essays. So you must read and understand the notes to pass the exams. Only 4 exams no hmwk so must ace all exams. Attendance isn't madatory but lectures do help VERY much.

Very nice instructor. He is also has a great lab, it's tough because you have to actually do the reading and understand the material. He is very nice and understanding to his students. Make sure you read the powerpoints and diagrams are a must to learn.

I had him for my bio lab. He's a good teacher and will help you if you want to be helped. I made a C in that class and I came every now and then. The quizzes have memorization and also open ended questions about why things work the way they do. Pretty good professor for the lab.

You can easily make an A in the class if you read the chapter. His tests are over what he discusses in his powerpoints, which he prints out for you. He is very monotone and boring, but gets the job done.

Excellent teacher willing to help always. he tells you what you need to do to pass the class at the begining of the semester. Read, do the disk (where most multiple choice questions come from, and follow his review because thats where his test come from.

New at teaching. Gives you too much information and expects too much from students. Straight from book-class. HIs tests are alright, doesnt know much, always verifying with other professors.
