Comment:
Nice guy, but very shy and off-putting at first. When he talks about bats the lectures get fun. The information that matters is what he talks about in class, he barely follows his lecture slides so be sure to attend class, even though it's not mandatory or enforced. Skipping once in a while is fine, just get notes and it'll be like you were there.

Amazing professor!!!! He LOVES what he teaches, and it shows. His lectures are interesting, he draws great diagrams to explain further. His expectations of you are so clear, he even gives really helpful study guides for each exam. Just a really cool professor in general.

Best professor for intro bio from what I've heard. Lowest exam grade was an 94 with fairly minimal studying. 100% recommend.

Not that interested in bio, but he definitely made it seem fun and his lectures were very clear. Definitely worth taking if you need to fulfill your science goal. My intro class was the easiest out of all of them. Grade is based on 4 tests, no homework besides studying for those which aren't difficult at all. So helpful and makes class interesting!

Comment:
Class is so easy. Absurdly easy. Could have passed class in 6th grade. Real test question: 'What mineral is important for bone formation?'. Boring as hell. But professor is pretty cool, pretty smart, and does what he says he will. Is very helpful, and is interested in the material he teaches.
