Frampton is a good teacher who really knows his stuff. He will always answer questions and attempt to explain things in more detail if needed. He is a bit dry and uninteresting though. All his powerpoints are online and most of the material can be found in the book and notes. He also gives easy pop quizes but his tests are fairly hard.

Dr. Frampton is an excellent professor. Although he teaches STRAIGHT from the book, he is always willing to clarify. Lots of material, but not a hard class.

If you have a choice between 201 professors, choose Dr. Frampton! If you come to class regularly and read the text (because he teaches straight from it) you are guaranteed to do well. He drops your lowest test grade and replaces it with your best five pop quizzes combined. He tells you when pop quizzes are coming, and is readily available for help.

You learn a lot in his class if you decide prior to attending that you are going to pay attention and read occasionally. His first test is easy, but after that they get harder. The final is not cummalitive. It's a pretty hard class if you're not good at science. Try to sit in the front if you don't want to fall asleep.

AWESOME teacher. His lectures are extremely clear. He provides powerpoints online for each lecture. He has a review day before each lecture. He answers any questions in and out of class. If you email him about anything, he is more than willing to help.

Teaches from powerpoints that are online, so if you miss a class no big deal. He explains things a lot better than the powerpoints do, so go to class. 5 pop quizzes that replace lowest test and if you go to class you should do well on those.

Class is pretty boring, not because of frampton, but because of the am bio crap you have heard since middle school. He is definitely the easiest professor for 201 though.

He tells you exactly what to study for and he gives you pop quizzes throughout the semester that can replace an exam score at the end. He is a great teacher!

Make sure you review your notes and understand concepts. Overall, an excellent instructor.

Super easy class if you love bio. He puts all of his powerpoints online and pretty much just reviews them in class so if you have to miss a class it's not a big deal. Test's aren't too difficult. Really helpful out of class too if you need help!

Good professor. pretty easy basic bio class. I opened my book like twice his powerpoints cover everything.

He is really helpful but reads from his slides.

Dr. Frampton was deff one of the best Bio teachers we have. He understood I needed an A, I made sure I worked hard, attended his hours, and asked for help. He talks off slides and gave quizzes that were based on attendance and tests are hard so STUDY! the lowest will be dropped w/ hw assignment. go to class, pay attention and you'll get an A!

Dr Frampton is a great teacher. He would rather the student do well in his class than struggle. He is very educated in bio and you can tell he enjoys teaching it. I enjoyed sitting in his class, but went to almost every SI session to help me receive an A.

Dr. Frampton is a great teacher and its obvious he loves to teach Biology. The class is kinda hard, but if you study, read the text, and go to SI it should be an easy A. I definitely recommend him as a professor.

Dr. Frampton is great and the class should be fairly easy if you somewhat try (going to class and reviewing the PowerPoints and maybe SI sessions if you really do not understand it) however the lab is what really makes you or breaks you. My TA did what Dr. Frampton didn't, taught biology is extremely hard and technical terms and graded way harshly.

This professor made his lectures really interesting. I had alittle trouble on his exams but he dropped the lowest one which helped alot.

Dr. Frampton is awesome. I am a biology major and I did well in everything except some slip up's on his exam. They're straight forward, but can be difficult. He is a virology genius and I can't wait to take his virology class. I also have him in a Honors class this semester and he so likable and down to earth. Highly recommend!!

I like Frampton a lot. He teaches using his powerpoints, and the powerpoints are clear cut, easy to understand, and full of visuals. This isn't an easy class, but Frampton is more than willing to help and isn't out to confuse you at all. Great teacher.

Dr. Frampton explains things very well in class. He expects you to read the textbook, and if you do it will help you in class. Also, he gives quizzes periodically throughout the semester, so if you like to skip all the lectures, you'll miss the quizzes and that's a part of your grade. He'll readily answer questions in class or after class.

He gives 5 pop quizzes throughout the semester along with like 3 tests. Lectures are kinda boring but they do help. He puts the power points online so you can get what you miss in class. Great class. Just a little boring.

He is very nice. He just teaches a tough subject. It is in your best interest to attend class because sometimes we get extra credit assignments to boost our grade, also you never know when there will be a pop quiz. He likes to help you out so it is good to schedule time with him outside of class to review tests and gain better understanding.

Great option for directed independent study. He is very approachable and there are many options in his lab. There are a lot of students working in the lab and they are all very helpful.

The syllabus says that attendance is mandatory, but you don't have to sign in. It is a really good idea to show up every time though because you miss a lot of information and might miss a pop quiz if you don't show up. He is obviously really passionate about biology. The tests are a little difficult but it might just be because it's hard to know!

Frampton's bio 201 tests aren't hard if you know the material. The questions aren't difficult and if you just study the powerpoints and know them well, you're fine. Study a lot, go to SI, and get to class and you'll be fine. It's not hard work it's just a lot of effort to get an A. Frampton's a good guy and wants you to pass.

Great HON 110 professor. Really caring about his students and the topic of the class. Easy going and usually let us out of class early. Easy A. Not a lot of outside work

Extremely easy freshman seminar. Had significantly less work than all the other seminars and we got out early frequently. We did a few big projects but overall it was a very low intensity class. Guest speakers brought in were very interesting, and the class as a whole was fun.

Tests are easier than tests I took in high school level science courses, very straight forward. Attendance is not mandatory, but beware of pop quizzes. Lab is tough, really prepare for quizzes. SCIENCE MAJORS, this is an easy class and in my opinion is not helpful in preparation for higher level courses. Overall, very nice prof. and easy class :)

Great professor, attend class to receive extra credit from pop quizzes

Frampton is honestly a really good guy and is 100% fair. His classes are all lecture and he posts all of his powerpoints online at the beginning of the semester. (and I mean all of them.. even the final review) Tests are difficult, but not so much if you study. There are 5 pop quizzes that you can use (combined) to replace a test grade.

Frampton is a great lecturer. He really cares about you succeeding and is fair when making tests. If you show up to class, take notes, and study you will do fine in the class.

Frampton is a great professor. Extremely straightforward both in class and on exams. He made biology interesting and relatively fun. Definitely recommend.

I've always loved and admired Dr. Frampton. His Bio 495 class - Biomedical Breakthroughs in the 21st Century - is phenomenal. Definitely take it if you're interested in the healthcare field. Two presentations - one is 10 mins, the second is 20 mins and that's it. I really loved this class.

Your grade is based off four exams. There are five pop quizzes worth 20 points each. I feel it's important to go to class so you can gather some extra info/explanations that is not on the powerpoints. He is clear about what will be on the exam. Overall would take class again

Great Prof. Great class, great material! If you study like you're supposed to, being a 400 level course, then an A is easily obtainable. Tests really aren't hard, and he mentions a few times "this will be on the exam." Pop quizzes are for extra credit ONLY. If you get a D+ in the class, then you're the problem.

Dr. Frampton is incredibly knowledgeable in Biology and is always willing to help you. I was sick one day for a pop quiz, and when I emailed him that morning, he agreed to let me make it up after the next class. He is lecture heavy, but he is a great lecturer, so don't let that stray you away. He is never condescending and loves explaining topics.

If you are taking 201 make sure you take it with Framption! He is very lecture heavy but he is always very clear on the material. He is always available during office hours if you need to review your tests or just need help in general. He is constantly giving out extra credit so try not to skip class and atend as many SI sessions as you can!

Good professor but you need to go to class

Dr. Frampton was the best biology professor! His classes were all lectures but everything on the tests came from the powerpoint he goes over in class (and posts online) , so if you study those you will do fine! He was super accommodating when it came to issues caused the hurricane this semester which was super helpful.

If you go to class you should be fine. Quizzes and tests are super straight forward. Just study the lecture slides and go to SI sessions. Loved this class and professor

Dr. Frampton is a great professor. Really understanding, but with that being said sometimes doesn't answer emails. You might have to email him a couple times to get a reply. The in class random quizzes are easy and if sometimes he'll just give everyone 20/20. There are five so if you are there for all of them they replace your lowest test grade.

Dr. Frampton was a great bio professor. There are only 3 exams and 1 final, but he assigns easy online homework assignments and gives out pop quizzes that can replace your lowest score on a test. He explains the material very well in his lectures. It is really easy to get an A in this class if you study a lot, go to class, and attend SI sessions.

Dr. Frampton was a good professor. His classes are purely lecture-based. This class is hard, but if you put in the time to study, you will get an A. All the material he uses on the exams comes from the powerpoint which he posts on canvas for us to access. He is fair and gives you all of the material you need to succeed in the class.

I'm speaking on behalf on several classes that I've taken from Dr. Frampton. He's smart and a nice guy, but he's not particularly good at communicating with his students over email. Classes are moderately difficult, but studying helps alleviate some of it. He's a good advisor and can provide some guidance if you're going into the biomedical field.

This is a very hard class. Tests are nothing like quizzes or what we talk about in class. SI is no help. If you dont to the class and study the material you will not pass. You have to teach yourself. The professor is a very nice guy and is helpful in class, office hours help a lot but hard to reach outside of class. You have to try for grade.

His notes are very easy to understand, they are very simple and he highlights all the important concepts. He posts all the power points on canvas, but I would recommend going to the lecture bc he does an amazing job going through the slides. Flash cards are your best ally to pass this class.

Attendance is not required but I definitely think it helps to attend class and go to SI. Hes super straight forward. He gives pop quizzes but its easy to predict when hes about to give them (youll just know)

Tests are fair; I noticed he could've made them significantly more difficult. Lots of extra credit. Super friendly and always willing to help if you need it. If you're prepared to work and know how to study biology then this will be one of the easier classes for you.

Frampton was a good professor for Bio201. The class itself is rly hard ofc but frampton was helpful. there are 10 homework assignments throughout the semester which all are online. other than that the tests are the only grade. there are 3 exams and then the final. He gives 5 pop quizzes which are technically extra credit and can replace an exam

The tests are tough, but you will get the hang of it by the exam. If you go to class and actually pay attention to the lectures, you'll do fine. The power points aren't specific so listening to him explain them helps a lot. The pop quizzes are extra credit and saved my grade. I don't study a lot and got a B so if you study you should do well.

I enjoyed this class a lot. It is a lecture, so you don't HAVE to go, but going really helps. He explains the material very well. He also gives 5 pop quizzes that get rid of your lowest exam grade, which is really nice and helped me a lot. He is always available to help and wants students to do well in his class. Overall, a really good teacher!

I enjoyed taking BIO 201 with Professor Frampton. He explained each lecture thoroughly and truly cared for his students. My advice for this class would be to take notes before coming to class, DONT skip class, and attend SI sessions as it will come in hand when preparing for exams and pop quizzes.

Frampton is a really good teacher and gives you many chances to do good and get extra credit, the class itself is really hard but as is any BIO class. With that being said Frampton is your best choice, he's really nice and is very smart. His lectures are easy to understand too.

It is your stereotypical college class, where you come to listen to lectures and then have a total of 4 tests. 3 midterms, 1 final. As long as you take notes and go to SI you will do well in the class. He gives random pop quizzes that only help your grade and is a pretty cool professor overall.

Dr. Frampton really understands the material and has laid out his class to teach it well. As a non-biology major I found the material difficult to digest, but even if you struggle with the exams you can still do well in the class if you participate in Lab. Tests are written so he knows you understand concept and don't just memorize terms.

Dr. Frampton is an excellent professor who made the biology learning experience fun and enjoyable. You'll probably do well if you attend every class and pay attention. The test material is straightforward and based on class lectures and ppt slides. There are pop quizzes that can replace an exam score. Put in the effort, and you'll be fine!

dont agree with ratings of the others.. We are in college...effort has to be put in. He does post test grades on PDFs so you can see your grades if you look. While he did read straight from the slides, the same photos were used in the book with great explanations. Yes, you had to try but it was doable. I put in work to get an A. Not too bad

He is very helpful. GO TO HIS OFFICE HOURS! He will help you understand everything, pay attention to the lectures and you will do good on the exam. It's college you have to study, professors won't spoon feed you.

Honestly, I disagree with a lot of these ratings, Frampton isn't an issue. Biology is a HARD class. You'll struggle and need to study at least a week before the tests. Your grade is basically composed of pop quizzes, tests, and the lab. The pop quizzes aren't horrible, and they are added together at the end of the semester to replace an exam grade.

My tips: study using the textbook and Pearson materials, study at LEAST a week in advance, study every night in case of a pop quiz, review homework questions, + Pearson study center. He gave us two free 100%'s on pop quizzes just for being there so SHOW UP! Biology is hard! Put in the effort and you should pass.

Frampton is very amazing and smart man. Yes his class was difficult but that's what you can expect from a college grade course. He did just read off powerpoints but he tried to explain the best that he could. He gave us free 100's on pop quizzes. I suggest watching the videos on Pearson when studying, they are very helpful and easy to understand

Dr. Frampton is truly a good guy, but as a professor he is difficult. He talks for and hour straight off of a slide show. Its easy to get lost as he moves very fast and skims over many ideas. There are 4 "midterm" exams and 5 pop quizzes. you need to go to class to get credit for quizzes but together they can cancel out a bad test grade.

Biology is already a information packed course. With any professor, you need to be prepared to study and read the textbook as much as you can.There are 5 pop quizzes throughout the semester that he will sometimes give you full credit for just being there. He will also drop your lowest exam grade if your quizzes add up to be a higher grade.

Very sweet professor, but can go by some slides pretty quick so it's important to study and understand the material on your own. Missing a lecture can put you behind by a lot so I would attend every class.

I had Dr.Frampton for my BIO 201 class, he was pretty chill. Theres 5 pop quizzes throughout the semester but hes very generous and most of the time jus gives everyone free points - which is helpful bc quizzes add up to replace your lowest test score. hes always available for office hours + encourages going to SI sessions / he wants us to succeed

Professor Frampton is a great professor, and his lectures are very informative as long as you attend class and pay attention. BIO 201 is a difficult course, you just have to put in the work and study. Attendance is not mandatory, but he does give 5 pop quizzes over the semester that can add up and replace your lowest exam score.

Lectures move VERY quickly. It's probably in your best interest to be both physically and mentally present in lectures. If you don't pay attention by the time the test rolls around you're going to be overwhelmed. All 50 MC exams, not impossible if you really know the processes and theories as opposed to just memorizing. Knowledgable prof for sure.

Frampton is by far the best BIO 201 professor at UNCW. His lectures are a lot but he ensures that his slides give you everything that you need to know. His tests are difficult but they are manageable if you can understand the material.

He is an amazing professor, incredibly smart, and knows the material very well. I f you go to class and read the textbook you'll be ok. It is challenging, but with SI sessions you'll pass. I wish there were some like homework or papers mixed in with the tests because its just the 4 tests and the final pretty much.

Dr. Frampton is knowledgeable about the lecture material and will take time to explain anything you don't understand. Class moves quickly, but resources that help you do well are provided. There's no HW, but you should study in advance for pop quizzes. If you put in the work, study as you go, and show up to class, the tests will be easy for you!
