Comment:

His class was an enjoyable environment to be in. I looked forward to going to his class three times a week. He explains difficult things very clearly, and gets the class involved. He gives three exams throughout the semester, one being your final exam. He also offers extra credit, which is very difficult, but worth it.

Comment:

By far the worst teacher I have ever had. Gives no instruction or feedback. Waits until assignments are due and graded to give better instruction. Don't even ask for feedback, he will ridicule you and treat you disrespectfully. He should have chosen a different profession if he didn't want to teach.

Easily one of (if not the best) professor at Clarion. Extremely passionate about his topic, and it shows in the lectures. I can see why Clarion has him teach the very first Bio class you take, because he definitely keeps students interested. He also gives several opportunities for extra credit.

Undeniably my favorite professor EVER. He is an extremely good person, and actually cares about his students more than himself! He is always willing to help. I also recommend joining his research lab, you won't regret it. Your grade will be based on the effort you put into the class. I love Smith, he is a role model!

Dr. Smith gets the information across in an easy to understand method that will keep you laughing the whole time. His tests are nothing to fear. What he writes on the board will be on the test and nothing else. He is also always willing to help students out after class with questions.

Very into his class and very funny! You'll definitely enjoy this class. He did forget we had class once, but he saw us in the dining hall and he apologized personally. He's a really great guy and you'll definitely learn a lot and enjoy Biology.

Dr. Smith has been one of my favorite professors so far. He is extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the subject matter covered in his classes and very personable and entertaining, as well. Dr. Smith is very student-centered and not only adequately answers students' questions, but also encourages students to ask questions for discussion.

Comment:

He is a very funny guy but a horrible teacher. His tests are extremely hard and way more in depth than the notes he gives you. He gives you all this work for bonus but it hardly even counts for naything. If you are not a biology major DONT TAKE HIM!
