Outstanding professor, possesses a charisma and passion for subject matter that will keep you engaged and learning the whole way through. Knowledgeable and willing to answer any question. Tough in the sense that you have to do your work. Highly recommend.

Comment:

Before I lament on the difficulty, I did receive an A in his class. The only way this is possible is if you study a great deal, don't wait until the last minute. Hint: his tests are harder than the final, but make sure you do as well as you can on them. If you're a nursing major, this class is a joke compared to 150, so his difficulty will help you

Comment:

This professor is no joke, ridiculously tough. Although a nice guys and tries to lighten up the mood in class. His tests are extremely hard because they're on a powerpoint and you have a minute to answer. Better off reading the textbook than his slides. Gave a very small curve. I studied hard and got a C. Nobody in that class got higher than a B.

Comment:

Okay.... His class is BEYOND hard. He has good intensions but is NO HELP. He feeds you such interesting things that will have NOTHING to do with anything on exams. You will HATE this class. My tip is, If you want to pass the class Read the chapters you need atleast 3 times and answer all of the review questions after the chapters. YOUR BEST BET.

Comment:

The hardest class i have ever taken, he teaches as if we are all moving on to pursue our careers in medicine it's ridiculous IT'S AP HIGH SCHOOL BIO! HARD TESTS! STUDY YOUR ASS OFF! I wouldn't recommend him if you are only taking this course just to take a 100 level science and a lab but if you are pursuing in nursing take him.

Comment:

He is an interesting teacher who tries hard to entertain the class. My only problem with him was that his tests are very difficult even if you study. He is very intelligent and knows his stuff. I would suggest him, but just be prepared for hard tests!!

Honestly, Half of what he teaches is based on experience. You know when a teacher tried too hard to make you laugh?.... He honestly made my freshmen year taking biology SUCK so bad. I hated every second. I'm an A student and this class made me struggle. His PowerPoint are 10% based on the Test you're on your own in this class. STAY AWAY

Comment:

This professor doesn't play any games. Test are on PowerPoint slides and you have a minute to answer each question. He teaches off PowerPoint but you have all the material you need for the exams on the slides and in your textbooks. You HAVE TO STUDY. Point blank There's no getting around it. Half the class dropped after the 3rd exam. U study u pass

Comment:

Professor Scherb wants you to pass but tests are extremely difficult. I studied my ass off and barely passed each time with a curve. This guys is brilliant, a wealth of knowledge, I just wish somehow the tests were easier. I studied each chapter and review sheets I made three times each, took off from work to study and still had difficulty.

Comment:

Nice guy, but ridiculous teaching. His lessons are straight from the PowerPoint. You pretty much have to learn all the material on your own. He treats the class as if we are all going to be continuing with biology. This class will lower your Gpa.

Comment:

he forgets the concept of Gen Eds. he's harder than he has to be considering half the students in the class are forced to be their by the curriculum. why powerpoints exams? everyone has their own speed and the right to look back at the questions. who's he to eliminate these options? and why are the questions worded like the lsat?

Comment:

Very personable and easy to approach. Teaches mostly through PowerPoint slides. Gives no HW only reading assignments. Tests are PowerPoint slides, 50 slides, 50 minutes and no going back. Final was multiple choice and three essays to choose from out of six. Utilize his office hours, study the material and the course is not that difficult. Grade: B-

Comment:

~ Use Power Point Slides & has a good sense of humor. If you read the chapters and understand the topic and go through the audio clips that he provides on blackboard, it an easy pass. Just give in the effort to read and understand the topic and you do extremely well on his test.

Comment:

Professor Scherb was terrible! I took his bio course and was so lost! I am a very smart person and an even better student but professor Scherb changed all that! His tests are very difficult, he belittles you and embaresses you among your classmates and he flirts with alot of the girls, very unprofessional. AVOID THIS CLASS BY ALL MEANS
