Comment:

Boring lecturer but after going to SI Pass and understanding each of his powerpoints, I was able to do well on his tests. HIs exams are application heavy but I could tell with each test he made it more fair to raise the test average. He did a big curve at the end of this semester so I can tell he tries to make sure students learn but also not fail

Dr. E is a great lecturer. He makes things as clear as possible and makes sure that everyone is successful in his class if they put the effort. He is a true gentleman, very approachable, and caring. I do recommend taking his classes.

Comment:

Eisenmann is an incredible lecturer! I felt this class was incredibly easy and could grasp onto every word he said. His exams tend to be harder since they are more application based rather than memorization, but they're very doable. Take him for Genetics and you will love the class!

He does a really great job explaining concepts that may be hard to grasp. I think he does a really great job keeping the class engaged. There is a ton of material to cover so you need to go to lecture. He can also be pretty funny and has a more laid back attitude.

Very engaging, able to keep your attention during lectures, though I sometimes found the slides hard to follow. There is A LOT of information to cover but he does a decent job at getting it across, plus he makes the slides accessible to look back on, along with extra articles and videos to look at for extra help.

Comment:

Dr. E was a great prof but he doesn't really care and his attitude makes him unapproachable but outside of lecture he is a GREAT GUY. This class is very difficult but its not as bad as team based in the fall. Take it in the spring with Dr. E and be prepared to read the textbook all the time. The curve is pretty generous.

Comment:

I took the class with Dr. B and E. The class is very difficult. The first few weeks may be review, but after that there are a lot of small details. He speaks very fast and does not post the slides in full online. I just listened to his lectures again because he spoke so fast. I pretty much barely got an A with the curve(I got lucky).

Comment:

He goes by the lecture too fast. Doesn't put up all the slides. Try to find old exams. He reuses questions a lot, he even reuses questions from other teachers. After a while I stopped taking notes in class because he was going to fast. HATE THE TEXTBOOK! It confuses you more than helps you. Try do well on the four exams bc the final is harder

Let me start by saying you can tell dude man is smart and knows his area well. But as a student starting that class I don't. 302 is hard enough already without him flying through lectures and leaving his PowerPoint slides blank so you constantly have to look and see if you have to snap a picture or not. Not gonna say avoid him but hes not easy

Okay, he's awfully pretty to look at and lacks any awkwardness at all. But Bieberich was actually more responsive to communications. He lectures well, is engaging, has slides and audio available which I really appreciate in any class for study. Tests multiple choice, but the challenging variety.

Comment:

Never opened my book--just go through his lectures and the audio after class and you should have no problem getting an A in the course. All his exams are straight out of the powerpoint. He does a great job explaining it clearly. He's one of the best professors I've had. The last exam was quite difficult, but other than that it's not too bad.

Comment:

Literally fell asleep in every single class. If you can learn from people just reading powerpoints, Eisenmann is your guy. Discussions aren't awful. Exams are a b%tch if you aren't an expert at the concepts. Some powerpoints are omitted when posted onto blackboard. Do your best on the HW and come to class. SI sessions are hit/miss in effectiveness.

Just print out the lecture slides and go through his lecture audio. Class is a breeze. Exams are either you know it or you don't type of affair; straight from class slides. Great Professor with more than a generous curve. Although Discussion was a bit hard.

Comment:

I dont understand why people hype him. He literally just reads straight from his powerpoints. His exams are fair, some tricky questions - study hard to avoid accumulative final. Used textbook a lot. DEF review old exams. Very generous curve. Gotta give it to him though... has great hair. I thought he wasnt approachable, said unnecessary comments.

The best you can have. He's very helpful and clear. Exams are extremely easy if you pay attention to lectures and review them. Tells stories instead of lecturing and very engaging. Awesome hair and voice. He's just the best.

He made me love genetics. He's enthusiastic, an awesome teacher, and has great hair (seriously I love his hair). You don't need the textbook except to do optional practice problems, I got along fine with Google and an outdated text from high school. Study hard, re-listen to audio of his lectures, ask questions. Tests are tricky but not impossible.

He's a fantastic professor. So clear. He explicitly states that everything that will be on the exam was covered in lecture, and he is telling the truth. The exams are so fair. Like the average grade on his exams are a 70! That's when you know you have a great proessor.
