Comment:
This guy is a great teacher and knows his stuff. His style of lecturing is very easy to follow and he cares about the success of his students. I managed a B in his class, but just barely (border-line A). Only because I never studied. If you come to class, take notes, and review them before the exam you will get an A. Wish I could take him again

He's one of the BEST teachers at NOVA. He has so much patience and will repeat as many times as you need to understand the material. He absolutely loves what he teaches and has ten times more energy than a young man. He's very sweet and will help you any way he can. All you gotta do is ask.

He?s a great teacher and is very passionate about his subject which makes it enjoyable. His tests aren?t that hard; all the material is from your notes (which he gives great notes) and or your study guide. The lab test, though, aren?t as easy because you don?t receive a study guide, yet he?s still an amazing teacher and I?d suggest him to anyone.

Is a great teacher, he's really passionate about his subject so is able to make it enjoyable. The tests aren't hard if you study, all material comes from notes (which he gives good notes)and or from his study guide.Lab tests don't get a review sheet, so not as easy to study for yet I really recomend him if you're planning on taking Bio :)

He is an amazing teacher who is really knowledgeable. Everything you need to know will be straight from his lecture notes, no need for the book. You have to study for his tests though because you have to know the material in order to pass. I advise this professor to those who are majoring in a science. If you want a easy A, dont take him.

He is a wonderful professor. I was impressed with his diligence with correcting spelling, grammar errors. His lab tests are designed to help student with hands-on practice; he prepares hours to set up his lab tests. He is funny caring and very informative. He is bold headed but I thought he was very hot!

Dr Eckerlin is good at Bio, i like the way he dumbs this for you, so that you can understand the terms. But his tests are extermely hard. Around 75 percent of the class failed in his first test in my class. My GPA got screwed up coz of bio. If you are not a hard hard hard worker then dont take him.

Well he is knowledgeable I have to admit that. But eff him in the masseter! Honestly, unless you already have a medical certificate or are a medical assistant...you will have trouble in this class. This class ruined my GPA and your grade is completely dependent upon 4 lecture test and 2 lab test. If you are bad at tests then DONT TAKE HIM! BIO 231.

If you want to learn and have it burned into your skull to be useful later he is the man. A clear and coherent teacher. His lectures are somewhat lacking flair, but make up for in being relative and interesting. If you expect an easy "A" you will fail. If you take the time to learn every bit and piece, you will succeed. Even for the future.

Mr. Eckerlin is the man ! He's a hilarious man and he's extremely knowledgeable of all that he teaches. People are hatin because they don't try their best to pay attention, but if you do, you're set, and you win.

Taught us just what we needed to know - didn't overdo it on the details, but expected us to know the processes well. Nothing on the exams that wasn't in lecture, but no lecture exam review. Labs were self-run, and he was there to help us with down-to-earth discussion. Old school - no smartboard. But relevant. HIGHLY recommended!

Dr eckerlin is the ish! I took him for bio 102 and he knows his stuff. You have to go to class and take notes. He tests on everything he writes. If you take good notes and study the lectures will get an A!! You dont need the book.

Took this class as a 2nd degree nursing pre-req. AWSOME professor! I am shocked that people would write that it was a hard class. I went to every class & got all A's. It is anatomy which means A LOT of memorization. He writes everything down that he wants you to know for the tests, so you have to go to class. A & P is not supposed to be easy!

ok basically, if you dont study for his tests, you WILL fail. you have to put in a little effort. he's a nice guy who makes lectures interesting but the tests are really hard you need to know the material. his tests are the ONLY grades in the class, nothing else. the final isnt cumulative, which is a pretty huge relief.

Alright, here's the lowdown on Prof. Eckerlin. If you are a student who expects to know the materal without any effort you will fail this class. He is a very good teacher, funny with interesting lectures. Only once or twice did I find myself realllllly bored, and how many of us don't during a lecture? He tests on the notes he gives but you must stu

Ralph was not a good teacher at all. He doesnt explain his material real well and writes too much on the board and even if you go to class everyday you still dont get a good grade. One of the worst teachers I've had at NOVA

Biology is a hard class. Taking it with Dr. Eckerlin makes it even harder. He stinks! He's boring. My GPA is ruined because of him AND now I no longer have any interest in Biology because I'm so traumatized. Being in his class is like being in a bad dream you can't wake up from.
