Comment:
One of the best professors on campus. I took him for 5 different classes. I didn't always do well but I knew I could count on him for help. If he is still teaching Dendrology or Nature Study you NEED to take it from him. He also has a very dry humor so if you like that you are in for a treat.

HORRIBLE, do not take him he is the worst ever he should not be allowed to teach please for your own sake do not take him. if you do don't go to lectures it doesn't matter, he does online quizes that are 20 min long for 20 questions and they definitly aren't as easy as they sound.

no matter what you do, you're going to fail the exam, and he's going to curve it to a B or an A. if you think that's a good teaching style, take him. don't bother going to lecture because none of it will be on the exams.

He is the worst teacher. He confuses himself and does not seem like he wants his students to do well in his class!

WORST professor I have ever had in my life. hes not clear on anything, nothing he talks about in lab pertains to anything on the quiz! thinks its our fault for his poor teaching. telling us to study it. if it wasn't for lab I'd fail

Comment:
THIS IS THE WORST BIO PROFESSOR!!! Do NOT take his class!! His lecture is boring, and its pointless because the stuff he talks about isn't even on the exams. Everything is from the book, but even if you read the book the questions on the online quizes and on the exams still don't make sence. seriously...this guy sucks!!

Lectures have nothing to do with his quizzes and exams. Even if you study extensively, you still can get bad grades on exams. Expects us to memorize everything- it's as if he thinks we're all Bio majors. I'm barely getting a C in this class, and I've never had a grade below a B+ in High School. Thank God for the Lab.

This class was boring and hard to pay attention too. his lectures skipped around. the tests seemd to have answers he didn't discuss. You basically have to know everything in every chapter.

This guy is one of the most unorganized and inconsistent profs I've ever had. Going to the class is pointless becus you learn nothing there. Exams/quizzes are insanely hard and I still have no idea where he gets the material from. He does curve exams alot, but you learn nothing. Lab is the only intersting thing becus he doesn't teach it.

Dr. V was very helpful personally and educationally. He is very knowledgeable,good sense of humor and didn't hold a grudge when i tried to mess up his field trip(s). This guy took some abuse. I took 3 or 4 of his classes.

This is a really nice guy, but this class is hard. He really wants to help everyone understand the material but has a tough time getting it across. Is willing to give make up tests and quizes, and curves the exams like crazy.

Very nice guy, knows his stuff. Lectures are a little tedious. You can rely on your book and do semi-decent on the exams. The exams are pretty tough though.

Not difficult to get a good grade, but don't chalk it up to this guy. The lectures are useless, you basically rely on the rest of the class' horrible grades to get a 30-percent curve.
