Comment:
He is ridiculous. Very smart, but not a good teacher. he is all over the place in lecture that when you look back at your notes, it takes hours to organize them. He certainly has favorites. First time I asked a question he sighed. Avoid him. If you have to take BIO 401&402, petition to have anothr prof teach it. Your GPA will sink!!!

Comment:
I can see why he would rub some people the wrong way cause he's not really a warm and fuzzy type, but he has a dry sense of humor and he was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the marine environment. He didn't post the class power points online, so go to class and read the book. Nothing horrible that I experienced... It's a good class!

Comment:
Great professor and material very interesting. His personaility and teaching style are too laid back for me, but you can certainly learn from him if you put in the effort. Lectures at times unclear. Lot's of handouts. There are certainly better teachers than this professor, but he knows his stuff and is easy to ask questions of.

Comment:
Dr. Lou is an intelligent educator. Makes class interesting with personal anecdotes & useful information he peppers into lectures. Field trips were great learning experiences. If you don't like this class or the professor, it is because you show no willingness to learn the subject matter & are devoid of any capacity to recognize intelligent humor.

Comment:
This man was rude and mean. I was out of class because I was in the hospital and he lectured me for my absence. He was quizzed us over material he felt we should have learned in BIO 105. Avoid this man at all costs. He is a jerk.

He is an extremely knowledgable man. His grading is fair, and he is a good lecturer. The labs are the best part, he enjoys teaching the labs. He also does field trips, which are fun.

Comment:
He's the man! He's really helpful, especially in the lab. I really learned alot from him. However, I did get the feeling that he doesn't have a lot of patience for idiots! If I were a BIO major, I'd take more classes with him.

He's a great teacher and extremely helpful outside of class. He is more than fair on exams and lab reports. If you are proactive about learning he's an AWESOME professor!!! If not, you'll most likely get the grade that you deserve.

Gainey is a nice guy, but the required science courses should be more reasonable. USM should recognize this for non-science majors. Classes like this brought my GPA down.
