Dr. Ribble is NOT arrogant. He's brilliant, and awesome to work with. No, he won't deal with stupid people, but he loves students who are passionate about bio. He made us do tons of presentations, but it's good skill development and it helped us learn the material better. He lectured great when he wanted to. One of my favorite professors here.

Ribble is awesome for lab. I had him for night section, and he played Bob Marley and was just really chill. He let us out early sometimes, but he likes to ask Brainstorm questions a lot.

Great professor. Really clear and easy to understand. All the information needed for the test was given in lecture. Best teacher in BIO 1301.

Damn good prof--the class is divided into 3 modules with 3 different teachers. His module was as difficult as it was informative, though...

Comment:

i think ribble's module was the best out of the 3 in integrated bioI. definitely not an easy class...MUST read the book. lectures are clear and he definitely knows what he's talking about. go to office hours. he can come off as arrogant, but he's prety cool most of the time. good in lab as well.

Comment:

He was one of the worst professors I have dealt with at Trinity. He was very arrogant and the lectures were useless. I went to his office hours one day and showed up two minutes before they started and he came unglued on me. I loved Biology before this class but I do not anymore.

Comment:

Some parts of class were interesting, others very boring. He is clearly passionate about what he is teaching. It was hard for me to get into the material. The test was not easy, I thought it was the hardest of the three modules.

Comment:

I wouldn't recommend for a CC class. If you are going to take this class you better be a bio background. If not, say goodbye to your GPA. He is tough and his tests are made to fail you. Likes what he talks about and is very interesting, if you are into Darwin, DNA, and Senjis. Go to him for help because you will need it.

Ribble is awesome! He's really helpful and funny. Sure, he's got an attitude, but that's kinda fun, if you can deal with it. His classes are interesting and enjoyable! I definitely recommend taking a class from him. He's a really cute father, too...he's great with his little girls.

Ecology sucks and so do the damn field trips. The material is so simple and then Ribble****s you with a test question from left field. Get used to sarcasm, disdain and open criticism if you plan on sitting through one of his classes.

Great professor. Keeps things interesting and explains things clearly. Won't hold your hand through it, though, which is good. If science isn't your thing, don't take the courses for the majors.

Dr. Ribble rocks. He is a good prof. If it wasn't for overath i think bio wouldn't have been as bad with just ribble. He was also very helpful in bio lab. He is a great daddy it's so cute. Fav quote: "so to sum this up fish are pretty kinky&quo

I love this guy. Very funny. Get on his good side (redheads have a temper). He'll be one of your favorite professors after you have him in class. BUT, ecology is pretty challenging.
