If you miss a day you will be lost. make sure to take good notes. His lectures are good but detailed. The tests are difficult and the grading is heavy as well. Overall good teacher with good intentions. But he gives us broad topics and the tests would be on more specific things. If slaymaker is your teacher all I can say is be prepared A LOT.

dr slaymaker really is a good guy & a pretty decent professor. he was a sub for the semester after our original lecture prof had a baby & went on maternity leave. he is really flexible & does try his best to see you succeed BUT his exams are just all over the place & u rlly need a good grasp of all the info to do well. the final was a sad time :(

Slaymaker is a fair Professor. His tests aren't easy if you don't study but if you put the effort in and study you will know most of the material on the test. Visit him during office hours if you have questions because he can explain it better.

He was a great professor. Straight forward with material and really knows his stuff. He's one of the reasons why i actually wanted to go into genetics. He's a very enthusiastic professor and can teach some very hard material very well. Its a shame he isn't teaching this class anymore. If he was teaching something i would totally look into taking it

Very helpful. Always has office hours. Definitely a very difficult class. I didn't open the book once, only studied the slides. Tests are all open ended, so write everything you know. As a professor, he encourages questions and answers them thoroughly. I would definitely recommend him.

Man is this class hard, but Slaymaker is an awesome guy. Very animated, only uses slides and notes are only needed for info not on slides. Chipper attitude and nobody ever gives him a hard time. STUDY STUDY STUDY. I warn you now, you're probably gonna fail the first test, and it doesn't get easier. Study!

Difficult class but a great professor. He's very helpful. To do well on exams you really have to know the material like the back of your hand. Sure it's difficult but at the end of the day you know your material. A good tip is studying the material before every lecture, because if not you won't know wth is going on in class. He also tutors :)

I took Botany and Cell culture with this awesome professor and couldn't be more happier. He is one of the best in the Biology Dept. Very helpful and clear in explaining the material. You do have to study hard to get good grades in Botany but its worth it! TAKE HIM!

Best professor in the school, easy to understand and get an A. But you must be willing to work, if you dont want to study hard for tests, dont be a science major, but if you know your stuff and try your best, he will reward you.

i wonder why sometimes stupid people were created. he is a nice guy and everything but his tests are difficult to understand. the only reason why people say he's hot and easy teacher is probably because he had his own personal biology "lesson" with him. and what looks does he has???? he looks like a long pole with hair on top

The Field Bio Lab was kind of dry, the group only rarely went outside. However, he is straightforward, intelligent, and funny plus he definatley knows his botany. The bonus is that he looks really good and has a very sweet little accent.
