Comment:

one of the more difficult bio classes i've taken. to succeed: either go to class every day and keep up with your notes/the book the entire time OR miss class but MEMORIZE the book before the test. he asks very detailed questions and you REALLY need to study to pull off an A.

Comment:

Arrogant and really just seems to talk above you. Exams are hard and and not what you would expect from reading the book and doing the problems. Overall, I would not recommend him.

Comment:

I thought he was a good teacher. He was arrogant. But he knew what he was talking about and very knowledgeable. Once you understand what he wants, it's not hard to get an A. It's a shame he's not teaching right now. I hope he gets better.

Comment:

He is the worst professor I have ever had. He tries to intimidate students with his bad attitude and is not helpful at all. He shows no interest in helping anyone and takes pride in his bad attitude. I did well in the class, but will never take any of his classes again and I definitely recommend staying away from him if you can.

Comment:

He is awesome as a person, but I feel the class is a self-taught course and you really have to read the book because I don't know where he gets those questions from? But I still got a B, read the book and use that study guide.

Comment:

Wow! One day with this guy forced me into withdrawing. I heard bad things about him before but I thought ok, I'll take him. One day of listening to his biased opinions made me realize I couldn't handle him or else my vocal opinions would be a problem for him. He's horrible. Don't take him!

Comment:

Don't take this class. You have to read the whole book. Tests don't make any sense. He gives the most random questions. You have to know even minor detail from the book. Puts picts. in power point. They are not helpful. Avoid at all cost. Very hard class to pass.
