Weinacht is entertaining, definitely enjoys jokes to alleviate boredom. One of the easiest testing classes I have ever taken. If you have common sense or an ounce of ability to read through lectures you will be fine in his courses.

Comment:

Duane is a good professor. While biology can be boring at times if you aren't a science person, he does a nice job at adding humor to lectures and making class more fun. Unlike many pros out there, his lectures don't put you to sleep. I vouch for him, Bio is a tough subject, but he does what he can to help out students. He wants students to succeed

HORRIBLE PROFESSOR!! It's a joke that everyone has to take a bio class in the first place, but do whatever you can to not have him!! you can tell he does not enjoy teaching..impossible to get a hold of...everyone in the class has like a 40% all year and then at the end he just rounds it up to like a "B" you dont learn ANYTHING

Comment:

If you can get ahold of him he is sort of helpful. However most of the time its impossible to reach him. I literally emailed him everyday for 10 days with NO reply! He is an incredibly nice man and funny at times but I got burnt out on this class quick and the C killed my gpa. It was so frustrating trying so hard to get help and recieving none

Comment:

Slow grade posting, questions on test are not what was covered in class or on study guide. Doesn't respond to any e-mails. If you take him you are pretty much on your own the whole semester.
