Dr. Warren is terrible. He seems confused going over the material he is supposed to teach. He refuses to post grades online. I would like to take the classes he teaches, but refuse to take him again for the sake of my own sanity.

He teachs nothing, he has only pictures on his slides and he didn't write any thing on the board, so Good Luck.

Comment:

I have had Dr. Warren for both 240 and biochem. He is the absolute worste lecturer psu could offer and the worst thing is- he has tenure. His lectures are confusing and he can't answer simple questions. He's so intimidating and you can't approach him. Also- if you do he will continue to dock you and make it a personal thing. Avoid warren.

Comment:

He's not a good lecturer, but he puts forth an effort. Seemed genuinely nice, and is definitely knowledgeable in his field. He copy pastes test questions from previous exams, which he provides to the class to study. This didn't help me learn the material, but was more a memory exercise to see if I could remember that the answers to each question.

The tests come straight out of the textbook. If you don't read along with the lecture, you aren't going to get the grade you want. Make sure to study past year exams. Other small assignments make up for the difficult exams.

The tests are super easy as they are just the practice exam. However, he is boring and dull in class. Skip the lesson read the book and you'll be fine.

He's a good guy, a little dry in the lectures. He gets his multiple choice questions from the Q's of the book online. He grades his essay questions harshly.

Comment:

Horrible person. Discourages those interested in medicine because he couln't handle med school himself. His only concern is for his few students who do research for him (and his zebra fish) and then takes all the credit in the end...he wont respond to emails and refuses to help out in the slightest...this is why teachers should not get tenure

His lectures can become boring, but if you study the tests are easy! He is a nice guy, and will do anything to help his students. Has "fun" class discussions.

Comment:

He doesn't have much personality in class. He picks who he does and doesn't like right away. The class isn't too awefully hard if you study, but he gives extremely boring lectures. And his comb-over NEEDS to go, it is terrible.

Dr. Warren is predictable and fair. If you study hard, show interest, and come to class you will learn a lot and do well.
