Weeks is great and an easy A. Had him for both lec and lab (lab takes attendance). He rambles on for hours and is rarely on topic but you can tell he cares for his students and is intelligent. Tests are sent home and are open note and the final is just a tedious project but easy.

his reviews are OVERRATED. wished i listened to the previous class. u wont learn a thing. never answers his emails but when he does he'll give an attitude. lab was so boring that i fell asleep. his class is a literal joke & a waste of time. you'll get an A if you have friends but whats the point of spending $$$ on a class that wont teach u a thing

Prof. Weeks is absolutely amazing! He has quite some personality. During lectures he makes it funny and enjoyable to sit through. He can go on random tangents sometimes. He gives you the exam weeks in advance and lets you fill it out at home and then in class fill out the scantron. If you take him, it's an easy A. He's so genuine and easy going!!

Professor Weeks for Microbiology Lab was great!! He tells you exactly what you need to do and gets you in and out of the lab in about an hour. We never stay the full 2 1/2 hours. He definitely makes the long classes enjoyable. I most 100000% recommend him. One of my favorite professors so far.

I had Professor Weeks for both lecture and lab. He is seriously one of my favorite professors, he is very kind and cares for his students. He gives you your test a couple days in advance as a take home and you fill out the scantron during class. His labs go by so fast and they are very enjoyable, I definitely recommend taking his classes!

I had Professor weeks for both lab and lecture, I liked him a lot more during lab then I did for lecture. He is very lecture heavy and sometimes goes off topic, the class was overall really easy. His exams also are easy but make sure to study for them regardless. 10/10 professor I recommend.

Professor Weeks is great! Very knowledgeable. I had him for microbiology lab and genuinely learned so much in just one semester. He is kind and very helpful. The exams and labs are all straightforward. The content is applicable to real life and really helpful for anyone going into healthcare.

hard to follow his lectures. he is all over the place when he speaks. also hard to have a conversation with him because he cuts you off a lot and can be condescending in answering questions. I felt gaslighted and disrespected at times. but he wants students to do well. he curves the grades at the end. this was anxiety-provoking and annoying.

Professor Weeks was a super easy professor. All his tests were take home tests and the final was a project you get to work on throughout the whole semester and it was pretty interesting. The class itself was boring but it was an easy class. You will leave the class not learning much so be prepared for that but it was an easy grade. NEED textbook!

guys, if you can have prof weeks, GRAB HIM. He is super clear and captivating in both lab and lecture. He goes off tangent and has fun, so if you're too serious, you'll get annoyed, but I found that a relief. He taught his subject in a simple manner although the content wasn't necessarily simple. Highly recommend. great guy & excellent teacher!

Prof B. Weeks is amazing! He is very informative with the use of analogies and drawings that helps with retaining information. He is helpful in lab and will assist with any questions you have have with the class experiments. For nursing/medical major, he incorporates the course information from a medical standpoint that will help for later courses.

Professor Weeks is very entertaining and cares about his students. I had him for lab and I was worried at first but he makes it very easy to understand. We had 3 exams throughout the semester and they were straight forward and came straight from the labs. He helps you understand what he is teaching. I would definitely take him again.

I'd say easily the best Bio professor on campus. He's so funny and really smart. Can definitely go on long tangents during class and lose you a bit, but he's entertaining for sure nonetheless. Every exam is take home, they're challenging but he grades them fair. I wish I could take every class with this man.

Just finished bio of aging with him. I mean he took over the class a week before it started, so I dont blame that there was basically nothing happening the first month (there was only 1 class a week). Overall a chill class, just present here and there and the exams were take home. Guy definitely uses some sort of supplement, wacky but hilarious.

Took weeks for micro, he yaps a lot to say the least. But he is a good teacher (idk what I learned). Just be prepared to listen to his stories. He grades you on 3 tests (gives u the questions before) and you just fill in the scantron in class, he gives lab tests online as well. You also have a project, it is long but easy. Will miss his cowboy hat.

Professor Weeks is engaging and makes the material easy to understand. The exams are straightforward, and he's helpful in lab. For study prep, I found unstuck study and the free textbook to be really useful supplements.

He's a good person but an okay professor. All he does is talk about anything and everything and most of the time doesn't even make sense. He has his bad and good days when tho. And you can almost never reach him through email of anything but in person. He defintely has some type of attention deficit disorder. He is an easy A if he's in a good mood.

He's a mess in lab and talks a lot. Not all of it is related to micro. It's hard to follow what he's saying. Make sure your lab manual is complete and accurate. He lets the class out early. Find a good lab group.
