Brother Zenger is a fantastic teacher and he really cares about his students. Even if you don't like insects, you should take his general entomology class. It will change your life.

Comment:

Bio 475 is really not a difficult class. There are a few tests, but all the questions are given beforehand and discussed in class. The semester ends with a debate, which is pretty fun. My only advice and warning would be to FOCUS ON THE PAPER. You choose your topic after the first week, so just keep up with it.

Comment:

I loved evolution with Bro. Zenger. The subject matter itself is pretty easy. Just read from the text book, and discuss in class. There is a very large paper you have to write, which is a lot of work, but you get to choose what you write about, so that helps. Bro. Zenger is a great teacher and he cares deeply about his students.

Really nice guy. Class can be a little boring at times but it is mostly because of the material that we have to cover. He does a pretty good job of using different teaching methods.

I loved Brother Zenger. He was so nice and willing to help and made class interesting. Just do the homework and come to class and study for the tests which were difficult, but as long as you study, its pretty easy. Loved the study guides and reviews in class.

Comment:

He is my favorite teacher. One homework assignment is due before each class. It takes about an hour, if you're focused. We watch videos and do interactive science activities online for lots of the homework assignments. I don't think anybody makes science as fun as he does. Attending class is important for quizzes. You won't find a better teacher.

Comment:

The class was fairly easy but the tests were very poorly written. It seems to me like he tries to trick you. He required a textbook that was only on amazon and we only ud it twice and there were hardly any questions over the reading in the text book. I felt like he wasn't prepared for class because the class time was not over the prep assignments.

Comment:

Fairly good teacher, I enjoyed his classes. Expect to do homework for each class and don't trust your original quiz score. Not only are his multiple choice tests difficult (A&B, A&C, C&D, all of the above), but he makes the test the day before you take it and fixes any errors after you take it. Overall, nice teacher, fairly difficult class.

I really enjoyed taking Brother Zenger's class. The homework was not hard, mostly busy work. Doing the homework and attending the test prep sessions really helped me on the tests. He is helpful and willing to meet after class if you have any questions.

Loves the material, is enthusiastic, tries hard to create fun activities, is very understanding of students, and is a push over. He cares more about the material than the grade, which is good for those interested in the material, as well as those who just need the grade. He is a great teacher.

Origins of Life class: Excellent teacher! He was really excited whenever anything new came up or great questions were asked. He will answer questions right when you ask them. If you talk to him about problems you are having in the class he will help you out with them. He gets you engaged in discussions. Tests DO test you but aren't too bad.

Comment:

Brother Zenger is great at teaching, but I was surprised by his disinterest in the class. I would suggest taking another teacher who will be more invested in their lower level classes. I felt like we didn't learn near as much as we could have because he was more concerned with his higher level classes.

Very interesting class, easy homework and assignments. The tests are so hard though. I would study for hours and go into the test and feel like I had never seen the material before. The tests do not follow the study guide. Very hard to know what to study for.

Comment:

He was a great teacher for BIO204 once you get use to his teaching methods. There is reading for every class with a study guide. The tests both lecture and lab, follow the study guides and lab reports very closely so if you study it isn't hard to do well on the tests. But the tests are all write on and you have to be able to explain. Fun Class.

Comment:

This was a great class. He made us think and come up with ideas that we would never have stumbled upon otherwise. He tackled evolution with a finesse that is admirable in a church school. I learned a lot in a scientific way and still found strengthening in my testimony. HIGHLY Recommend!
