CollegeGreat Professor, is pretty funny. Will take time and has patience to explain things. Can be tough, but its not an easy subject. Expect to be challenged and he will come through on his end. Great class.
Dr. Smith was an okay professor. He put SO much information on the slides, but would discuss each slide only briefly. I did poorly on the first midterm because there was so much content covered and I wasn't sure what was important. Overall, Bill was a bit scatterbrained but a decent guy. I liked Dr. Mike Wilton's half of the class much more.
A chill lecturer that was easy to follow. His tests could be a bit tricky. Read very carefully on each question and make sure you know what's going on in EACH slide, unless he says its not important during lecture. If you can do those two things you're guaranteed an A. Three quizzes each worth 30% of your grade. Class was joint with Wilton.
His tests are literally all trivial facts hidden on his slides, which is easy for many people, but just not for me. I literally considered dropping out of bio major because I put in so much work reading the textbook and the slides and kept getting 80 on tests, just because I cant memorize all details. I had to score 100 on Wiltons part to get A-.
reminds me of that one guy from young sheldon. tests were fair and lectures were interesting. just put in the effort and youll be fine. would take again
Good enough lecturer, and definitely a super nice guy who wants his students to succeed. Exams were relatively difficult, but not unreasonable.
