Comment:

Lectures can be dry at times, but overall he is a pretty fun guy to listen to. Tests are not lengthy question wise and are pretty direct. There is a LOT of material and most are pretty subjective so make sure you go to class and pick up what he wants you to know rather than googling it. Overall good experience

Decent teacher, cool stories. Tests are extremely hard. Class averages are always low. Curves to the highest score in class though. At the end he curves the whole class so stick with it. Look over the practice tests he gives and study guides. Know everything. Final is comprehensive lets you see all tests so just memorize the answers exact same.

Comment:

He was very to the point and taught at a rate that optimized learning. He is a tough teacher but if you follow along and don't get behind, you will learn well from him. Ultimately, his lectures helped me with the MCAT and my med school classes so far. I wish I had him for more bio classes. He also provides good study resources for his tests.

By far one of the best professors I've ever had. Dr. Schneegurt genuinely cares. As long as you show up to class, work hard, you will succeed. Highly recommended!

Comment:

I took Prof S for Micro and Applied Micro. He is an amazing teacher. the material is Hard due to memorization. Very knowledgeable man and his personality increase by 10 fold in his higher level class. Study hard, create study groups, go to his office and ask him for tips. DO NOT BUY A BOOK!! He test over what he lectures... He really is amazing

Comment:

Dr. Schneegurt does a great job of making the subject easy. Use the resources he provides you with (he gives sample exam questions and a list of study topics), read the textbook, attend lecture and take good notes. Exams? Very straight forward, he doesn't hide anything from you. Great professor, I really wish he was teaching bio 211 this semester.

Hard but great. Had him for gen bio 1 and micro and got As in both. People who say the study guides don't help.. nonsense- if you know that study guide you'll get an A every time. Typically it's much more info than what's on the test, but know it all. His lectures are interesting & sometimes entertaining. Wish I could take him again for something

Schneegurt is intelligent, vain and rude. He's good at teaching, but he's a little too condescending to be around people who know less about biology than him.

Comment:

He's a nice professor, but I hated this class. He covers lots of subjects, doesn't review, and doesn't understand when students are confused. Tests are multiple choice and he provides study guides, but neither helps you. Tells you some of what will be on the exam and won't, then puts all of it on the exam anyway. Doesn't use the book either.

Comment:

One of the hardest classes I've taken. Do not take this professor he's not a good teacher. His tests come from the lectures but are very difficult he said 10% of the class will get A's and the class is fairly large so it's very difficult.

Comment:

He was pretty nice when I took Bio 1 with him (I hear mixed things about this though). His tests basically follow his study guide so as long as you keep up with the study guide (which he posts on blackboard for each exam) after each lecture then you should be fine. His final is pretty easy too (at least when I took it it was easy).

Comment:

He is a good teacher. Knows what he's talking about. but I couldn't learn anything. Taught myself everything by reading the book. The tests mostly come from the study guide he gives. The tests are fairly easy, basic stuff. The final is super easy. lets you come in to look at the tests and questions come from the old tests. Put in work and it's easy

Has Narcissistic personality disorder, but he is an amazing person. His exams are not that difficult, so to do great in this course. Study his material presented in lecture and look at the sample questions. This course is memorization, so understand the terms in the context presented for them. Study habit is salience of doing well in education !!

Great professor! As long as you show up to class, take notes, and read over the material you should have no problem getting a B or higher in the class.

Comment:

Dr. Schneegurt is amazing. I loved his class! He's really funny. One time near the end of the semester he walked in and said "Let's be honest, I don't want to be here." If you need help, GO TO HIS OFFICE HOURS. Trust me, that's the only reason I passed. It's really helpful. And make sure you READ THE BOOK. It's a lot more clear than he is sometimes

Mark Schneegurt is an inspiration as a biology professor. He is absolutely fantastic. I honestly can't get over the fact I can't take anymore classes with him. He reminds me every class with him why I am going into biology. His lectures demand respect and are some of the best I've listened to. You won't want to skip class. That good.

He's a good teacher overall. His lectures can sometimes be hard to follow, but he'll help you if you ask for it. Not an easy class though, if you aren't taking a higher level biology class after biology 210, then take a different teacher.
