Professor Seely is absolutely fantastic! He is incredibly passionate about biology and you can tell through his lectures. He offers many extra credit points (however you must attend class to receive any). The exams don't try to trick you and are fairly straight forward. Just make sure to study and take notes as bio is a naturally heavy subject.

Every class is a lecture, so be prepared to take lots of notes. The tests are difficult, but not impossible if you study correctly, pay attention, and go to class. He provides extra credit on random days to assure attendance. One big downside is the labs are very tedious (but the grade impact is not major).

This class is demanding, like any science course, but Professor Seely lectures at a very nice pace and the slides are always available on canvas. There are problem sets due each week with multiple attempts and unlimited time. Attendance is not mandatory but he does random extra credits only done in class.

Dr. Seely is a great professor for intro bio. He provides a lot of extra credit and is very willing to help students both over email and during office hours. Will be taking Biol 112 with him.

Dr. Seely is very helpful and takes time to explain concepts in lectures. He makes content relatively easy to understand, gives weekly online problem sets and provides practice exams with keys before each test. Labs are the majority of workload outside of class and besides that portion there is minimal homework.

Like any other science course, it could be a lot to learn. However, there was minimal homework outside of labs (even these had less homework than average) and tests were made for you to consistently receive an A or B if you studied topics conceptually. Attendance was not mandatory, but he would give out random extra credit points during lectures.

Professor Seely is nice, he doesn't just read of slides. He isn't the most engaging so it's hard to pay attention. He gives great extra credit through his iClicker quizzes, and there's minimal homework; just 1 problem set due every week. Exams aren't easy, but the practice exam he gives does mirror the questions on the actual exam well.

Professor Seely is passionate and knowledgeable. The class is very lecture heavy and the slides are simplified textbook chapters so read the textbook. Go to office hours he'll go more in depth. His exams are not straight forward so you have to understand the concepts. Overall, he's a pretty cool guy and is willing to help his students.

Professor Seely was great! His lectures were hard to follow, but he is super knowledgeable and he cares about his students. His office hours were helpful and he's easily accessible outside of class. Attendance is not mandatory but you do get extra credit points from iClicker quizzes in class. Exams were hard but manageable if you study hard enough.

While the lectures can be challenging to focus on, the professor is an overall great person. The tests are a bit challenging due to wording, but the provided practice exams are beneficial. It's worth attending class for the bonus points offered through iClicker..

I had almost no bio experience before this class, but I was able to understand and retain the information from lectures and do well on tests. This professor is very animated in class and tries to engage students in the lecture. The material can be dry at times, but he tries to make things fun. Attend class for the extra credit iclicker questions.

I really appreciate how nice Dr. Seely is. The lectures are sometimes boring, just because of the nature of the material, but the homework and practices are so helpful for the tests. He also often gives points back on the tests. Overall really sweet person who seems genuinely excited every day to teach.

Seely's classes can get boring really easily because he talks slow but he is very passionate about biology. If you don't understand a topic, read the textbook and go to office hours. Attendance is not mandatory but he does offer bonus points with iclicker questions and his exams are very detailed compared to other professors.

Professor Seely is so nice! While his exams are very challenging and detailed, he is very accessible for office hours and through canvas. Attendance isnt mandatory but he does up to 30 extra points randomly in class so it is best to show up. He always posts his lectures, and although challenging if you study for exams then its very doable.

I loved professor Seely's class. You could tell when he was lecturing that he really found biology interesting so it made it a fun class to be in. There is a lot of balancing grades so it's not too hard because there are grades to balance out test grades. I truly learned so much from this class and am so happy I had him as my professor.

Prof Seely had very monotone lectures, but his teaching style helped a little to understand concepts. He stayed after class if you had questions about the lectures. Always had problem sets that helped to study for the tests along with practice tests. He also is very lenient if you miss an assignment for good reasons like work/illness. nice guy!

Dr. Seely is a passionate professor who is very kind to his students. The course was sometimes difficult and often packed with material, but Seely's office hours were helpful and he was great at walking students through any issues with lectures or practice problems. Up to ~4% of extra credit was also offered through short in-person quizzes.

Dr. Seely is awesome. He is very passionate about biology and he's great at explaining everything in his lectures. Lectures are easy to follow and exams are just like the practice tests. Very nice in office hours and genuinely wants everyone to enjoy and succeed in his class.

He's a nice professor with a calming voice. You will learn from lectures. I didn't use the textbook. You can watch YouTube videos about a material to better understand it. Attendance gives extra credit through sudden iClickers, so attend lectures. Study from the given problem sets and practice exams. Join the SI sessions for more practice material.

Comparing to other bio 111 profs and released test questions, seeley's are the easiest. -detailed lectures helpful but can be boring -lots of iclicker extra credit... so go to class -practice exams have a lot of similar/same test questions -maintained an A all semester until final bc i went in too cocky so beware! 10/10 recommend prof seely

Prof. Seely is very kind and he works hard to help you understand the material (biology is just not my thing). Attendance is not mandatory, but there are pop iclicker quizzes that he uses for extra credit. I would recommend paying attention in the lectures and studying hard for the exams. However, the course was very helpful. Highly reccommended!

Dr. Seely is a super nice guy, and willing to make appointments outside of class to meet. His notes are basically straight from the textbook. He's very very information heavy so do not procrastinate on studying for tests! Attendance is not mandatory but there are a ton of bonus points if you do. Overall a very doable A if you try!

Super nice and approachable, very funny as well. He's a great professor, the class content is just difficult, but he does well teaching it. Lots of extra credit for coming to class. The tests are tough but he gives practice exams. Don't wait to study because the content he has to test over is tedious. He is the best option for this course, TAKE HIM

really nice guy but he does just does read off the slides. attendance isn't mandatory but he does extra credit iclickers. exams can be pretty detailed so you do have to study but overall, i would recommend

I definitely would recommend taking Seely for Bio 112. He reads off of the slides in lecture but provides good additional info about the topics. Learn everything in the slides/ notes for the exams. It is very doable to get an A. Attendance isn't mandatory, but he often has iClicker quizzes for extra credit which is helpful.

I had Seely last semester too, and this semester was a clear upgrade. He seemed much more interested in BIO112 topics than 111, so that led to good lectures. Exams were still kind of confusing and very content heavy, but overall not very hard.

Great professor. Exams a little difficult but with a little elbow grease you can get an A. He does ask for very specific details on exams so going to lecture helps.

Out of the bio profs I've had at TAMU, Seely was my favorite! He does read off the slides in lecture, but everything that is on the tests comes from them. Although attendance isn't mandatory, he gives a ton of extra credit if you go, which literally bumped my grade in the class up 2 points. Take him!!

He is a very good and caring guy. Wants his students to succeed, very available outside of class. Tests are worded very difficult and very hard.

Overall, Seely was a good professor, he was accessible, only tested on material from notes, and gave extra credit. His tests were really hard and specific (memorize the photos in the slides) so you have to put in a lot of time to study outside of class. I didn't like that he gave us like 1 minute for iclickers but oh well.

Seely is a super nice guy and his lectures aren't always the most interesting but his slides are full of information. He did get behind in lecture which caused him to cram at the end of the semester. Problem sets are super easy, but test are very specific in detail. Definitely study the slides, that is where he pulls all of his information.

Dr. Seely is a great professor. I took him for 112 bc of his 111 course. Although, this semester he did get behind on lecture but it turned out fine. His lectures are kind of boring and his tests are pretty specific, but his office hours are helpful. Also he does a lot of bonus points and try not to take this class at 8am.

Super understanding professor who gives a ton of extra credit. Show up to class for iClicker quizzes (which all go towards extra credit). He does get behind the labs for lectures but makes the tests accordingly. Would 100% take again. I got B's simply because I didn't study enough, but if you put in the work you'll do fine.

Dr. Seely definitely cares for his students and it shows. His lectures can get a bit boring but they are easy to follow and his course is well structured. Show up to class for iClicker EC and make sure to do your best on all problem sets & lab. I bombed the 3rd exam but studied really hard for the final and still ended with an A. Highly recommend!

Seely is a great professor, but overall the class was difficult as most biology classes are. The extra credit helped for test grades (the is common in all bio classes) I recommend doing quizlets and studying everything. It is important to understand the concepts in order to answer the "application" based test questions.

Dr. Seely is kind and very knowledgeable. Tests progressively got more difficult. Pinpoint areas of weakness in the material, then the tests will be easier. Doing well on the practice exams is a good sign that you know how to study for his tests. Whilst the class can be boring, iclicker points (randomly during lecture) will SIGNFICANTLY help you.

Dr. Seely was a great professor. He explained the concepts fairly well, and often tried to interact even at 8am. Lectures could sometimes be dull, but its a lot of concepts to cover. The course covers a lot so its difficulty is up there. Offers a lot of extra credit. He seemed fairly accessible outside class. He was just an overall great guy.

First lecture exam is easy, the next two and the final get much harder. They are easy A's if you are able to put 2 or 3 days of memorizing (the slideshows) into each exam. I struggled to listen in class, but his office hours were helpful, and I would go close to the time of the tests. You can also miss a few iclickers and still get all 30 points.

Good professor but sometimes hard to stay focused because he is very monotone. slides are good for notes but always put in a weird order. tests aren't too bad if you put in 2-3 days of memorization/studying.

His test are very straight forward and he will drop questions if too many people miss them. He does iclickers for bonus points (mostly on Friday classes). He goes slow but he explains well and is fairly easy to get in touch with. He is super helpful in office hours and his practice test are pretty similar to his real test. I would recommend.

Solid, Office hours are available all the time and VERY helpful especially for Exams, just make sure to not expect other students to ask questions during office hours, if you wan't clarifications you have to ask, he doesn't jus review everything. 1 on 1 are also available.

Good professor overall and a great person. He covers all of the important topics on his slides but they can lack detail. I spent my time at home not only studying the slides but looking for outside resources as well. He gives 20 extra credit points with Iclicker and a few more for filling out the course survey.

His lectures are very helpful for the tests and he goes over lots of material so be prepared to learn! Really focus on what he is saying during the lectures as he doesn't read off the slides (he actually knows the material). He is super sweet, wants students to do well in his classes, and is always ready to answer questions!

Seely is a very nice Prof who cares about his students. He explains the concepts very well they're just boring at times. Attendance not rly mandatory but bonus iClicker points help at end of semester. 3 tests and none are dropped, imo 2nd is the hardest. Lecture heavy and memorization of processes. Lab is dependent on TA but very easy.

Professor Seely is great, He is someone who actually knows what he's talking about when teaching the class. The test may be difficult, but he gives you all of the tools necessary to succeed on them...your grade depends on how you study the notes. Lectures may be boring, but that's just due to the material that has to be covered. Great professor.

I ended with 97 in 112. I put an average of 15 hrs of memorizing/studying in each test (the third test was more like 25 hrs). But, if you memorize everything, the tests are pretty chill. While his lectures were hard to sit through sometimes, his office hours are great as he explains the thought processes that go into answering practice questions.

i thought he was nice, i didnt study at all and my grade is fine. honestly i averaged about a 65% on exams and only need a 56% on the final to keep my B, if you have the same study habits as me though youll need about a 90% in lab. his lectures are hard to pay attention to but i know my friends who went to SI did well on the exams.

great professor! his lectures are a bit slow and boring but his exams aren't too bad. make sure to study the practice exams, problem sets, and slides. i definitely recommend going to si sessions!! he also gives extra iclicker points that can help your overall grade. the lab isn't too bad either but also depends on the TA and their grading.

Chill guy, attendance not mandatory but iclicker is pretty good extra credit, tests are based off reviews and slides, lectures can sometimes be boring but very nice prof

Dr. Seely is a nice guy but lectures are VERY boring. He just reads off the slides and exams are lecture heavy, so take good notes. It's not a hard class but get ready to put in effort during exams. He also speed runs some lectures if we're behind so most of this class will be self-study.

Great class. DO LAB QUIZZES. 10 total problem sets and 3 test with a final. 2nd and 3rd tests were difficult but if you study, you'll be fine. I didn't pay attention in lecture but used the notes to study and teach myself, and came out of the class with an A. Super easy cumulative final. Very passionate teacher but lecture can be boring.

Overall Seely is a great professor. His exams are very detailed as well as his lectures. The grading of this course is very fair so there's nothing to worry about there. His lectures are heavy with extra information that is not posted in the lecture notes that are in canvas, so you have to be there the majority of the time. He is very monotoned.

All the content on exams was covered in lecture, so just by going to lecture and having taken AP Bio it was very easy to get an A. You can get extra credit by going to lecture, and many of the questions on the final were the exact same as questions on the practice exam and midterms. Seely is very kind but I found his lectures pretty boring.

Dr. Seely lectured from slides based on the textbook and provided fill-in-the-blank versions for notes. The final pulled questions from the three lecture exams, which were moderately difficult if you studied and completed the practice exam. Weekly problem sets were always three attempts, and iClicker could add up to 2 points to your final average.

I took AP bio in high school so I didn't have to listen to a single lecture from this guy. Lectures tend to be boring, but if you take notes and STUDY you will do fine. I recommend for tests to read over the notes, overview the textbook (specifically know how to do the practice problems), and do the practice test. It is an easy class if you try.

He sticks to the lecture slides, so reviewing those will give you plenty of help when it comes to exams. Midterm Exams are also a great resource to study for the final.

Seely is awesome and I loved going to his class. He is very witty and charismatic, so it's actually quite enjoyable to attend lectures. This class is heavy in information and memorization, but Seely makes sure you have all the necessary information to do well.

If you attend all the lectures, you'll be fine.

Dr. Seely is super friendly and encouraging! His exams are much more difficult than 319 exams and are very application based, so if you cram the information from the slides rather than understanding the material you will struggle. He is preparing us for further physiology courses and further education though, and he wants his students to succeed!

biol 320 is not an easy kindergarten memorization course like 319. everything is application based. you should read beyond the slides and ensure that you understand each system thoroughly. the course is interesting and well worth your time to invest in it. seeley is a super nice! great prof to talk to.

BIOL 320 is not as easy as 319. People saying that Dr. Seely is not a good prof are just upset about their grades but as a professor he is actually very nice and gives PLENTY of extra credit. He sometimes curves class grades depending on the averages. His exams and the way he teaches are just like Taylor (the other 320 prof). I recommend taking him

Lecture was boring. He pushed back stuff & was behind the whole semester, so he rushed a lot of things tbh. Exam 3 over the cycles was a killer, but the others were fine (overstudy for exam 1 to start strong) . iclicker was helpful, so take them seriously. SI helps & seely was easy to reach out to, an a is achievable with good studying.

People complain about his grade cutoff but the average grade was a 86% in his class. He was boring, and his exams were a bit difficult, but he gave 25 extra bonus p

Lab is not bad, and lecture can be difficult. But if you put enough effort in, the class isn't bad. I got 60/80 on 2 exams, but still got an A with room to spare. He gave 25 bonus points. You can get an A if you put in work, a lot of people in the class were just lazy and complained. He only used AI for images( people are making him out to be bad)

Dr.Seely's lectures are long. He has fill in the blank slides from a textbook and sometimes has new material the day before an exam which gives no time to prepare. Exam averages were always in the 70s. He does give extra credit and is willing to give you tips on what to study and how! I don't think he is as bad as people are making him seem.

Dr. Seely is so nice and is funny. He tries to make his lectures engaging, but he over simplifies topics in lecture. His slides were NOT consistent with the test. I would recommend reading the textbook before his lecture for each topic/chapter. Lab is easier in BIOL320 than BIOL319. Overall, Seely is really nice, and he dos care, but test are HARD.

Dr. Seely was extremely nice, and it's SO obvious he cares about students. extremely helpful in helping me(some personal events came up, and I needed to take an exam early). However his exams certainly aren't the easiest, They're VERY focused on physiology side, so know application! Lab is RIDICULOUS tho, they have no clue what they're doing lol.

Does iClicker for credit. Does fill-in-the-blank lectures, not a fan Start studying the lab manual as soon as you get it. Lab was easier for me than lecture (not a great test taker). He is a really nice guy, gave us extra credit for doing course evaluation. Still think he is better than Taylor.

Great guy! Exams can be pretty hard since they're VERY application-based, but if you can fight for your answers he'll give credit back. I just made quizlets and did fine but you should find a way to better understand the material alongside flashcards. This lab is way easier than A&P 1 lab (less anatomy memorization and more conceptual content)

super nice guy! forgot to do a hw once and he opened it for me js bc. that being said, his lectures are boring and they're js the textbook copied+pasted. exams are difficult, so focus on doing well on 2/4 lecture exams and acing the practicals. if you can do that, you'll be in comfortable range for an A, even if you do eh on the other 2 exams.

Don't sleep on lab, get started early. He is a very nice guy, but lectures can be boring at times. He asks tougher exam questions than the 319 profs so you need to understand the material not just memorize it. At the end of the semester, he gave ec, and I think he may be lowered the cutoff for an A?

Lots of smart worksheet every week that may or may not coincide with what lecture is doing at the same time. exams are hard and questions are honestly straight from left field. averages on exams are Cs but he does offer 10 bonus pts from course evals and any excess iclicker you get to keep as bonus. overall a solid prof but not easy
