Comment:

incredibly rude and unorganized. refuses to answer questions if he deems them 'too obvious'. absolutely no structure to course. blatant disrespect for students. when i approached him with an issue, treating him as politely as a student should a professor, he basically told me i was lying and ignored the documentation i was providing him. 0/10.

Comment:

Adam made every lecture bearable and he loves to tell personal stories (sometimes it has NOTHING to do with the lecture) He is laid back for the most part. He is probably overly generous with bonus, but I didn't complain! Tests are pretty easy if you actually make an effort to study the material.

He's an amazing teacher. Explains everything very clearly and the lectures are interesting. You have to attend lectures and study ahead of time because it is a lot of materials.

One of the best teachers for BIOL 1001. He is hilarious and keeps the lectures interesting. I wish I would have taken him for BIOL 1002.

Prof Adam is a very good prof. He knows the information well AND he can teach it well. He loves images and diagrams, and this angel makes an exam folder with all the diagrams needed for test. He genuinely wants us to pass.

The worst professor ive ever had. He read from the 70 slide powerpoints the entire semester He rambled a lot about things that had nothing to do with what we were learning. the Tests were incredibly detailed and difficult. I wouldnt recommend him to my worst enemy.

Great professor. Always curved the tests and dropped the hardest questions. Lecture was easy to follow and easy to pay attention. Bonus for attendance and sometimes random easy bonus on moodle.

Comment:

Dr. Adam really cares about his students. His exams are worth 90% of your grade though and are not easy. Attendance is mandatory for the notes. He reads straight from the powerpoints though. It was his first time teaching the class through lecture, so he has a lot to work on. He does care about you, but his skill as a professor isn't great.

This is the best professor Ive had at LSU. Amazing review files, and easy to talk to if needed. I took the online section of bio 1001 and he made it super easy. Great professor.

TERRIBLE . This semester was his 1st teaching 1202 lecture I would not recommend him at all!!! He reads straight from the ppts in class and you have to go to class because half of every sentence on the ppt is missing and you fill them in when he shows it in class. His ppts can be 75 slides per chp nothing but words and the exams cover 3-4 chapters

Comment:

The course was okay. I don't really like bio that much, but Adam made it less painful than other profs b/c of his pre-tests that are just like the real tests & he gives bonus for doing lecture activities (which you should take advantage of!). Still study for his tests, don't rely on the bonus & the curve he gives afterwards to give you an A!

DO NOT TAKE FOR 1202!!! He reads straight of power-points and goes on tangents about irrelevant information. Theres so much info on the slides its overwhelming and frustrating. This was his first time teaching 1202, but even after complaints abt how difficult the tests were, not much changed. He had to curve the tests 20+ points each time!!! rip

DONT TAKE HIM FOR 1202!!!! Hes still figuring this class out and he tests like were grad students. He curved each test a ridiculous amount because people did so poorly on all of them. He may be good for non science majors but he way over compensated for this class !!!

Comment:

This was my first online class and it made me want to take every class online. The pretests are very similar to the exams. Take every single one. He posts pictures online that are on the exam. Easy class if you put in the effort. Also, he offers a ton of bonus. I ended with a B is because I started to not care towards the end of the semester.

Comment:

If you don't have an A in this class, you're just not trying. You get to take a practice test which is extremely similar to the real test, he posts the pictures of the diagrams that will be on the exam with notes, and you get bonus points if you go to class. I'm terrible at biology and will have an A

expects you to learn too much information for the exams, which the average score on every exam is low. exams are weighted 90% & mastering is 10%. he reads straight off of the powerpoint slides & you have to go to class in order to fill the slides in because he does not post them

Adam is a great professor, and really does want his students to succeed. He gives a lot of opportunity for bonus on his tests as well. It really is hard to not make at least a B on his tests because of this. As long as you go to lectures and study adequately you should be fine. He really does set you up to succeed.

Comment:

If you like it when a teacher reads straight of the ppt then his class is for you. I really hate when teachers teach like that because I'm not learning anything. There is also way too much information in his ppt and he expects you to read the book for every chapter. This is his first time teaching 1202 but still would not recommend.
