Comment:

The most caring teacher I have EVER had! He sees you as a person, not just a student. He knows every single student by name. Go to his office hours before test, and he will give you so much help! A true Auburn fan (War Eagle to that). This man resembles the true meaning of "the Auburn family." Gives a lot of bonus, and truly cares about your future

Comment:

Really liked his personality; all around great guy. Tests were brutal though for someone who did well in high school biology. Go to class because he uses a clicker. I feel like he looked down on me because I got a C, but it's not like it was his fault. Just study his objectives and you should be good because my friends did and they were okay.

Kearley is an amazing professor! He cares so much about his students and is very accessible outside of class. He makes the effort of learning everyones name and tries to make the lectures interesting. Also gives bonus points throughout the semester. The tests are easy if you pay attention. I highly recommend him!!

Comment:

Is an all around great professor: really respectful of his students' time, effort and grades. He has clear powerpoints and notes are easy to take in class. He does use a clicker so come to class and use it! He also gives around 10 bonus points for doing the clicker questions. His tests are difficult so don't think it's going to be like HS bio.

He is the best teacher. Please take this man, you won't regret it. As long as you show up to class most of the time, you will have a good grade. Gives tons of easy in class quizzes and extra credit, and his tests are not too difficult.

He is truly the sweetest man. He cares so much about his students and will do everything in his power for you to understand the material. Also honestly this class was super easy. He gives you a bunch of "bonus quizzes" but he just asked you a non related BIO question usually something about your life and you turn it in for bonus. So yeah THE BEST.

Is there a higher rating than 5? Absolutely the sweetest man I've ever met. Cares so much about his students. Always helpful in and out of class. Holds his own test review sessions and meets with students in library (with doughnuts!) the night before the test. I refused to take Biol1010 with any other teacher. Hands down the best teacher at Auburn!

Amazing teacher loves his students and always offers opportunities to get more help. Funny. If you don't take notes in class, you won't do good on the tests. Lab sucks.

Kearley is the best biology professor! He genuinely cares about your grade and wants you to succeed. He uses iClicker EVERY CLASS for participation questions which add up & help your grade.

Professor Kearley is the best professor I have had. He genuinely loves his job and understands science isn't everyone's thing. That doesn't stop him from teaching you the amazing parts about science that you will actually apply to your life. He is always reachable outside of class and wants his students to succeed.

Seriously the most amazing prof I've had. He knows almost everyone by name and is always willing to meet with students and help them improve their grade. His class isn't too hard, but it still requires work and studying. Most of your grade is exams but you have a couple opportunities for bonuses. Definitely take him if you can!
