Comment:

Lectures ranged anywhere from barely enjoyable to ridiculously boring. While attendence to lectures is not mandatory, I would highly suggest going to at least one a week. He takes material from in class videos and puts in tests quite often. It was a fairly easy class... if you can stay awake.

His lectures are a bit dry. The test are not too bad but you have to study and make sure you understand everything.

Dr. Jackman gives his students concept reviews for the chapter. Not all classes are mandatory, as he does not take attendance but some of the exams will ask questions regarding a class activity.

Comment:

Easy class. Attendance isn't mandatory. Tests are a lot like the example tests. He does not let you ask questions in class because he doesn't shut up or pause between sentences. Jokes aren't funny and is obsession with rabits and global warming is disturbing.

Comment:

Professor Jackman is extremely boring. No entertainment. The class is pretty easy. Either attend class and take notes or just do the concept questions, read over the chapters assigned and a A will be easy breezy. He sometimes puts questions on the test from examples he does in class or presentations. He also always gives out articles. Read them.

Comment:

Attendance is not mandatory, but he makes test questions off the films and handouts given in class. Do the concepts, show up the day before the test to get the answers to the pretest, and you should get at least a B. He is a good professor and you can tell he loves biology.

Comment:

Easy and fair. Tests were not difficult, especially if you review the concepts and show up the day before the exam to get answers to the sample exam. Lectures were kinda boring, recommend taking it in the afternoon if possible.

Comment:

Attendance isn't mandatory. He passes out CDs with practice exams and concepts to help prepare you for exams. These are a HUGE help. Lectures are a little on the boring side- but it's Biology. I would recommend him.

Very easy class, all the notes and practice exams are given on a disc so attendance isnt mandatory and questions are given with the notes to help you understand the lecture material. Couldnt get any better!

Great Professor, Go to class, study a little, go to lab and you will get an A. He makes it very simple and he is very clear and fair and somewhat interesting. I liked the class and would take him again. he is very smart. I wish he taught Chemistry!!!

Comment:

Easy to pass, ridiculously difficult to stay awake. You learn more by doing the concept sheets and reading the textbook than going to class. I didn't go to class and I got As on the test. I would have been screwed for the tests had I actually gone. He talks about irrelevant things instead of what we actually need to know. Show up for creature day.

I hate science and biology, but I managed through this class with a B. Gives you a CD with previous tests, the slide show he uses in class, and concepts. No attendance required. We watched like 5 moveis. Easy Credit

Comment:

Well, I thought I was going to fail the class, and in some magical way I got an B in the class. I never went to class, so i'm guessing if i would have went I might have gotten an A. His lectures are boring, but he does try to make it interesting but having creature day and pictures of cute animals on his slide shows.
