TERRIBLE class, please do not take Biology with Mr. Febres. You WILL regret it, I promise him. Between his terrible structure to everything he does, to his impossible tests, to his Ugandan accent which renders anything and everything he says impossible to decipher this class truly, truly, sucks, take bio with ANYONE else... Please!!!

pls take him online it will truly be such an easy grade. there's an essay about evolution, 4 exams (all online), 7 quizzes, 6 discussion boards (one is just introductions & another one is about your thoughts on evolution). he always answered emails quickly and was very helpful. all of the exams are easy to pass if you study quizlet sets (-;

Straight forward, with enough time to complete the exams. If you fall behind he allows for make ups a the end of the semester. That saved my grade.

Comment:

What i like the most about this class was not having to go on campus to do the labs. They are virtual labs. Everything is explained step by step for which end up making sense. The last time I did labs in a lab setting I did not understand why I was doing what I was doing. I did my work to get a score and pass the class without understanding.

To get an A in this class, complete all quizzes and exams, which are open book. Complete all virtual labs, which are really cool. The class is fully online. There is no need to go on campus. Professor answer email fast.

He gives one exam or quiz per week. If you follow the instructions on the syllabus it is easy to learn Biology and to get an A in the class. He gives plenty of time to complete quizzes and exams.

He is terrible. Just don't. My grade was 2 points away from an A and I asked him if there was anything I could do and he ignored me.

Comment:

I love biology and am majoring in Zoo Keeping (at another school). I absolutely hated this class. He has no structure to his lectures and jumps around topics, he isn't clear and cannot correctly formulate english sentences which makes it even more difficult to understand. The tests are hard and unclear, and he doesn't give answers after grading.

Comment:

I got an A in this class but it was the hardest A I've ever fought for. DO NOT TAKE THE ONLINE CLASS. I love Biology and taken more advanced classes so please listen if you need a good grade in your sciences. His powerpoints don't cover what's on the quizzes and tests. His tests are vague and SUPER HARD. Take someone else, you'll get more out it.

Comment:

You really have to study more for the class. For the online course, you cover about 3 chapters a week, and each chapter is really long. You get quizzed every week, and the quizzes are hard if you don't study. Plus, the quizzes are short, but cover a HUGE amount of what you read. Some questions weren't even about what we learned.

Comment:

Prof. Febres didn't seem to have much energy once he got to our evening course. He did not provide exam study guides in a timely manner, literally will give it to you hours before the exam. Exam's are excruciatingly painful, he doesn't write them himself. He does not issue homework, only labs and quizzes. EC will save your grade, DO IT!

Comment:

This was truly one of the most confusing and unhelpful online classes I have ever taken part in. While the quizzes and tests were pretty simple his instruction for the course and pure laziness regarding supplying us with an updated syllabus resulted in stressful all-nighters completing work that shouldn't have been due yet. Clarification was bad!

Comment:

Here is my God honest opinion... Febres is a very wonderful teacher who actually enjoys teaching. Unfortunately his accent makes it frustrating to understand him. I'm a B student and got an A. His course grades are very disorganized, but thats because of all the extra credit assignments he gives. There are better professors but he does just fine.

He is HORRIBLE! Do not take him online!! The quizzes do not correspond with the book that's on the syllabus and he don't respond back to emails. Worst online class I've ever taken.
