Dr. Goard is an incredible professor. Total sweetheart and cares about his students. He will definitely challenge you, but is also very willing to curve (generously) to make sure no one is doing too poorly. Highly educated and very knowledgeable about the field, he was a privilege to learn from. Wish I could take more courses with him!

MY GOAT. Explains concepts great, class covers very interesting topics. Flip schedule so lecture recording before class then class is interactive q&a. Easy to Average difficulty, shouldn't be any problem for Bio majors. Goard is just so likeable.

Final curve saved me, very generous. Had heard that the class wasn't too bad and was easy, but I felt very challenged. The final was pretty hard. two midterms, he lets us have one sheet of paper with notes for those, but i didn't really think it was helpful. so much material covered, pretty hard concepts. Goard was really sweet and passionate.

Professor Goard was really kind and the lectures are recorded while you go into class to answer iclicker questions. He would give candy to anyone who volunteered to answer a question. His curve is VERY kind. Definitely go to OH and section, if I did i would've gotten more than a C. He cares about us learning without penalizing us with bad grades.

Assigns a proper amount of reading on important studies, but bases some assignment questions on the most obscure parts of the studies.

Prof. Goard definitely cares a lot about his students and is a very understanding person. Although he allows two pages of notes during midterms, his exams are still tricky. Lectures are recorded but once a week he holds iClicker sessions. Section attendance is not mandatory. He is really cool about crashers and waitlisted students.
