Comment:
WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT TAKE HIM. He makes his class difficult for no reason. He expects u to know everything on exams, he tells u to read 64 page chapters 3 times to get all the info for test. He is NOT understanding at all. DO NOT ask 4 extensions on things because he does not care what is personally going on in ur life even if its health related

Dr. Beeching is an awesome professor. I took him for Zoology and he made the class so interesting. Some of the things he taught blew my mind. He is very entertaining and you won't even want to skip class. The class wasn't very hard as long as you take good notes!

He's a very funny guy but I had a lot of trouble with zoology. I would study for his tests until my eyes bled and still get C's on his tests. He offers no extra credit and his tests basically make up your entire grade too. I feel like he made this class unnecessarily hard.

Dr. Beeching is an amazing guy. Lectures were fun to go to because he is hilarious. He makes the class super interesting. If I had a chance to take him again I absolutely would. I am not saying this class is an easy class. If you want a good grade you have to work for it!

Comment:
Dr. Beeching is my favorite biology professor by far. He keeps the attention during lectures with his hilarious jokes and stories. But... labs don't have clear instructions for what you should be doing, while the practicals are super hard. He doesn't give helpful feedback through email or office hours, so you're basically on your own for the paper.

Dr. Beeching is a great prof. I wasn't looking forward to taking Bio as a requirment, but it became one of my favorite classes because of the way he taught. He tries to get you involved and is a really funny guy. Beware, the 3rd test is EXTREMELY hard, but the other ones aren't bad. If you need to take a science class, TAKE HIM!

I absolutely adore Dr. Beeching! He is on my top 5 list of favorite profs. He is hilarious and makes the class so bearable. All my other science classes were boring. I would a million percent take Dr. B again. He only has 3 tests and a final and they're not the easiest but not too bad. 50 questions on about 4 chapters per test. Take him!!

Dr. Beeching was a great professor. He is one of those professors that you can tell loves what he does and is passionate about the subject. Zoology is pretty tough, especially towards the end of the semester, but his lecture exams were all multiple choice and he always threw in a few gimmes. Lab practicals are the hardest. Study a lot for those!

Beeching's lectures are entertaining. Prepare to study a ton, the lab practicals are hard and his tests are pretty challenging too. He's talks about the mrs a lot but it's funny so we don't mind it. I'll definitely be taking him again. I wasn't proud of the grade I got because his class is so challenging but definitely enjoyable. You learn a lot

Dr. Beeching is a fantastic professor. He is very passionate about his field and he wants his students to share that passion. I like that we take our own notes while he lectures. Lecture feels like the wrong verb to use because he isn't just reciting facts. He makes the information so much more interesting while joking with the class.

Dr. Beeching is amazing. He's funny and makes zoology really interesting. He does make you work for your grade. Get ready to study your butt off for lab practicals and exams. Tests are pretty tough. Weekly quizzes are easy. He is always willing to help during lab. I would take him again for any class! He's awesome, and mildly attractive.

By far the best professor and the funniest individual i've met in my life. Makes zoology interesting and you'll look forward to his class. Lab practicals are super tough,that's where i failed. If you're at SRU make sure you take Dr Beeching at least once.

I absolutely loved this class and I'm pretty sure it's because Beeching taught it. I looked forward to going to his class every day because he was funny and entertaining while still managing to teach stuff. He can get a little behind and his practicals can be difficult, also make sure to read the book he takes a lot of test questions from there!

I personally found this class to be really easy, but it's different for everyone. It's a bio class so don't expect it to be easy. He is hilarious & will do whatever he can to help. His tests are straightforward memorizing as in you don't need to be able to apply things like chemistry. Just memorize the material. Not as hard as others make it sound.

Dr.Beeching used a lot of great stories to help illustrate his points and the lesson. I really enjoyed his class, however, if he made attendance mandatory I would have went more. The tests are difficult if you don't study or go to class regularly. Be prepared to pay close attention and study the book a lot. Overall, class was fun!

I'm not interested in biology and have never been good at it, but Prof. Beeching has more than made it bearable. The way he teaches actually helps me understand the material and the class is never dull thanks to his comedy. I recommend him as a prof.
