Very nice and extremely helpful. There is no textbook, which made things cumbersome at times, but still good. Study a couple hours for the test and go to lecture and you'll be fine!

Comment:

I don't like science, so that was a downfall already. The labs are fun, but lectures are pretty boring. A lot of note taking. A laptop is nice for that otherwise you'd get hand cramps from all the notes.

I absolutely loved his lectures! He was kinda dorky but in a funny way. He made things a little more interesting. Taking notes was a little rushed though.

Professor Bessler is a nice guy and he really wants to see his students to succeed. His lectures are funny. The tests are not hard, but they do require a little studying. He tells what is on the test though. I would definitely recommend taking a class with him.

Bessler is an awesome teacher. Alot of the test questions come word for word out of the book from the chpater reviews at the end of each chapter. The class is somewhat alot of work but not too hard.

Comment:

He is a great professor. Really does try to make the class fun and understandable. My only complaint is the GA. I had a horrible GA and I wish that part of the class were different (she was so bad). The class is a lot of busy work, but if you try to do the work, you'll do fine!

Comment:

This class is the biggest waste of time ever. I never went and still got a good grade. Similar to a High School Bio class. Dumb busy work for the class that is due and doesn't help with anything.

Bessler was a great teacher as far as bio he knew what he was talking about the only problem with that class is the TA you have in small groups who do 100% of the grading

He does a great job teaching bio. He knows his stuff and how to teach it. He does a great job engaging his students by being as cool as he could possibly be!
