Comment:
Lectures are really dry, and attendance dropped to about 20%. He covers everything that will be on his test in his lectures, but your mind is so numb in class that you won't pick anything up. PPT slides are helpful. Tests can be tricky, just study EVERYTHING.

Comment:
Very straight forward. The lecture may be a little dry, but if you listen to him and take notes, he tells exactly what will be on exams. Very easy professor (although the material isn't)

Comment:
His lecturing is quite dry, and the hour-plus long classes can drag pretty badly. Still, the class isn't terrible except for the fact that each exam covers 6-8 chapters of dense material. Consequently, getting an A in this class can be quite difficult.

Comment:
He's apathetic about what he teaches. His lectures are incredibly dry and boring, and he doesn't put any effort into actually teaching. He stands in front of a projector and reads through 80 slides in a 75minute long class. He's your typical tenured faculty at Case.

Comment:

Comment:
Approachable professor. Lectures are dry and not all that beneficial. You're best off reading and outlining the textbook on your own. Exams are difficult in that the multiple choice questions can be tricky in wording especially. Doesn't respond much to student exam performance. The average exam grade should not be a D (low C, weighted).

Comment:
The most straightforward class I've taken at Case (I'm a senior). It's simple. You show up to class with your textbook, highlight exactly what he says (the Powerpoint presentation is direct words from the text), and study that. No need to study stuff he doesn't cover. Not the easiest class in the world, but there's no bull****.

Classes are boring, but if you pay attention in class, you surely can learn things. Better than Swanson.

Much better than Swanson. Treats this class like an actual college course and not a high school project, like Swanson. Hard to follow due to high speed, but provides a study sheet for each chapter that makes studying much easier. Just read the book and you'd be fine.

Extremly boring and unclear. Test questions are also unclear and that is bad for a multiple choice test.

This man made me so bored in class. Every class, I ended up sleeping. I think it was his voice or something, becuase I was turned off from his lectures.

Comment:
Seriously, wow. This guy just doesn't know what's going on. He teaches the material in slides, which are found in the book, but thinks that posting the slides he uses ahead of time will help the students. His tests are obnoxiously hard. You will do fine if you think sideways like he does.

Comment:
The subject matter is interesting but he goes too quickly for note taking because of powerpoint. I've never gotten the sense where he hasn't known what he's talking about. I just wish he went slower in class. I think that would make tests less painful.

Comment:
This guy taught the middle section of our biology class. Coincidentally, about 2/3 of the class stopped going. The lecture move at blinding speed with no student interaction. The material is confusing, and it's difficult to understand it with this guy.

Generally clear, but does not care to interact with students much beyond the initial lab lecture. Easy grader for reports.
