Comment:
Siebenaller's entry level bio class is the hardest class I have ever taken. He rambles on during lectures and has random pictures of fish interjected into his power points. His tests are beyond hard and he covers so much material that if you dont go to every class and SI session, you are pretty much not going to pass.

He is the best! Tests are straightforward. Just study the learning objectives and there is no reason not to make at least a B. Lectures can be boring, but he takes attendance so go to class. He's also really funny! Wish I could take him for every bio class.

He really wants you to understand the material. His study guides are very helpful when getting ready for the tests. Take good notes in his class and read the book when you review. Go to class because he does clicker questions every class!

I loved Dr. Siebenaller. You HAVE to go to class in order to receive a good grade. The online quizzes were pretty straight forward, and the class participation questions were fairly simple. The tests were difficult (I mean, it is a college bio class), but if you go to class & do the online quizzes & study efficiently, you should make a good grade!

Participation for grade w/ clickers every lecture; moodle quizzes weekly but with unlimited attempts; expects you to study and prepare ahead of time; gives you a learning objective for each test, LEARN IT! Cares about the students, available by email or office hours; go to the review sessions; learn any diagrams emphasized; hard but not impossible.

It's a biology class. If you want to pass you need to go to class and pay attention. Dr. S is hilarious and loves fish! His test were hard but passable with effort. Go to the review sessions, and you'll do fine

I took 1201 with Moroney and got a C, wasn't happy with applying to nursing school and retook it with Dr. S. Go to every class to get your participation points, all the quizzes he posts for points are a Google answer away, and if you combine the learning objectives with the figures he tells you to understand and the clicker questions, easy A.

Disclaimer: If you're looking for an easy A for Bio it's not happening no matter who you take. Dr.S is the best prof; there's a reason he's the chair and a full professor. He gives you everything you need for the exams and his clickers are word for word on the exams as well. Pay attention a few hours a week and study smart and you're golden!

Dr. S is so helpful! He's the only professor I have that emails you back in less than 30 minutes every single time. Really loves his job and cares about his students! Love him.

Dr. S was an awesome teacher, his lectures weren't too boring. The clicker questions and homework are a life saver so definitely take advantage of those. His tests are difficult but if you study hard enough it is easy to make a B. Don't buy the book I never used it, just take notes and find a study group.

I completely recommend Dr. S for bio 1201. The tests are challenging, but if you actually LEARN the learning objectives you will do great. If you are studying and don't know what a term means, look it up in the glossary. Review the figures in the book because that helps put everything together. IT IS POSSIBLE TO GET AN A if you study and work hard!

His exams aren't that bad, but definitely use the learning objectives and worksheets he offers. He's not easy, but if you put in the work and come to class, you'll get an A or B. Not impossible like Pollock. Cool guy.

Professor Siebenter is amazing! He is also a really sweet individual who loves what he's teaching. His lectures are interesting and his tests are not hard if you go to class and review the learning objectives he posts on Moodle. I highly recommend talking to him during his office hours to review your exams because it will help out on the final.

Comment:
Siebenaller's lectures can be somewhat boring since he is manly reading off of power-points. He provides you with learning objectives on moodle so you know exactly what to study. That being said he expects you to study a lot out of class since he gives main points in lecture and teaches fast. Study the learning objects well! He can also be funny!
