Comment:

Took Dr. Bauer a few years ago and I'm currently in graduate school. Advice to everyone, if you go on to a graduate program SAVE YOUR LECTURE NOTEBOOK AND ALL HOMEWORK!!! They are a complete life-saver in graduate school. He taught me so much when I took him. Yes, Genetics and FMU Bio classes are hard in general, but you will thank them later on!

Comment:

Dr. Bauer is amazing. Only has a lecture notebook which is cheap. He gives second chance points on the first two exams. He explains material clearly and doesnt rush. He always is there when you need help and shows you exactly where to find the correct answer and examples. 3rd exam isnt cumulative and is the final; will help you out if you try hard

This is a 400 level bio course, so of course there is going to be some work. However, you will actually LEARN and be able to apply the material afterwards. Dr. Bauer is always willing to help you during office hours as well.

Dr. Bauer is awesome! He wants you to succeed & it shows. The class itself is hard, but he's able to break it down to where you understand. If you still don't understand, don't be afraid to ask because he will help you. Homework is a huge part. Do your homework and study for his test. You will make it!

He's a great teacher. Really helped me out when my life outside of school got really tough. I am dyslexic and he went through the trouble to put the test in Dyslexic friendly font just for me. Trusky a 10 out of 10!

Dr. Bauer is awesome ! Attendance is not required , but serves as extra credit if you attend class daily . Tests are pretty much directly from the notes and study guide . Also make certain that you do your homework, do not shrug it off . He is very helpful , and clear cut with his lectures .

Very good professor. Very easy to talk to if you don't understand something. Emails back very quick. Expect a good bit of homework. Tests are tough, you will need to study for them, but it is worth it by the final.

Comment:

Dr. Bauer is the best Biology professor at FMU! His tests can be tricky but if you study the notes he gives in class you'll do fine. He is very lenient when it comes to homework. If you forget to do the Mastering Biology homework, he will open it back up for you to retry it. I would definitely take Dr. Bauer again!

Masteringbiology account required e-textbook included. I didn't need 105115, but I took it anyway because Dr. Bauer is a great professor. If there are concepts you don't understand, youtubecrashcourse or kahnacademy. He posted the answer key after each exam until the following exam. ^^^Primo way to ace the final. Interesting lectures!

Take the Notes!!! Print the Notes!! read and reread them until the day of the test. Record The Lectures because he talks very fast and you will be lost at times!!! DO your HOMEWORK BEFORE THE TESTS and stick around for test reviews. If you do those steps you'll past

Comment:

He gives lots of notes and goes a little fast during class. If you need any questions answered he is more than willing to help. He really cares about his students more than most professors do. He makes you think but if you want to be ready for a career in biology TAKE HIM. If you study a little bit along and along youll do fine.

Class is hard simply because its bio. He is a tough teacher. ALOT of notes. He tries to help "freshman" understand how to take notes. He talks fast. He is extremely smart!! No extra credit and you need your book for futher studies. OVerall hard class, unless you study more then the usual.
