Overall, really easy class but requires time to rote memorize. Go to class. Memorize slides cold. Get the extra credit points. Get an A+ and pat yourself on the back.

Comment:
Probably the best professor I've had here. He goes through a lot of material but he makes it wildly interesting. Additionally, he really cares about his students doing well and he goes out of his way to help. Definitely the most interested, interesting, and caring professor I've seen.

Probably the best class I've taken here. Dr. Bowman is extremely interested in what he is teaching and in doing whatever he can to help his students do well. The material isn't easy, but it's wildly interesting and Dr. Bowman makes it fun. I definitely recommend giving this class a try.

Comment:
Too much information on slides. Slides are poorly organized with no structure to them. Talks too quickly, glosses over topics such that lectures becomes confusing. Exams are difficult and require LOTS of memorization of detail. Final is comprehensive, ridiculous given how many parasites are covered.

Comment:
Tests are very hard. Have to remember many species and specific details about life cycles, length, location. It is way too much information and detail to remember for each exam. Too much details on slides, and need to memorize huge amounts of info. Can't cram for exams. Hard exams.

Not an easy class. He is unclear and extremely vague on his tests. Very specific and a too much info needed. Almost impossible to learn it all unless you take other easy classes (which I did not). Easy based on no work but the tests are horrible

Bowman is awesome and makes lecture really interesting and applicable. I learned so much in this class and am super glad I took it. Tests are very fair, even though the memorization is kind of a pain. Study back tests and review guides on blackboard, no need to read the textbook, and you will be fine.

Dr. Bowman is an awesome professor. He is clearly enthralled with what he teaches, and even makes class interesting with witty descriptions and side stories that pop up every lecture. Very approachable and makes fair tests. Study the lectures and review sheets!

I love Dr. Bowman! I work in his lab, and he is the nicest prof ever. Def come to his dinners b/c he tells the best stories, but bring a friend with you (for potential awkwardness reduction). I made flashcards for each parasite which seemed to really help me do well on tests.

Engaging and entertaining lecturer, interesting subject material, fair tests. The material would probably be useful for anyone planning to be involved with tropical medicine in any way, though since the best way to do well on the tests is to memorize everything, the amount of information you'll actually retain beyond the course is questionable.

Dr. Bowman was awesome! His classes are fun and informative. The style was very loose, and you learned a lot but it was easy to get a good grade thanks to extra credit etc. Definitely recommend him.

I love Dr.Bowman. He's so cool and friendly and personal (but not in an invasive way). You can contact him 24/7 and he'll answer your e-mails and messages really fast! I came in 4th place in Zoology wiht him.

Dr. Bowman is a very fair and fun professor usually, though lectures were sometimes a little disorganized. Heavy use of visuals made it interesting. Lots of extra credit.
