Given that Diehl is a new teacher, you have to give him some leeway when rating his performance as a teacher. However, as of now he is still trying to get a feel for his lectures and the classroom. In my opinion, the class is too short for the amount of information we must know (not that this is his fault). Tests are difficult.

Bro. Diehl teaching style is somewhat confusing if you don't have a good grasp of the concepts. He is a new professor so I expect this is due to a learning curve on his part. He gives quizzes every day on the material to be covered in class. He is also pretty lenient on grading these. Overall he is helpful and understanding.

Brother Diehl is a great teacher. The tests for BIO180 are made my the biology department, so the tests will be the same no matter who you take. He goes over the tests too and throws out questions if you have a good reason. Hes an extremely nice guy and takes the time to consider and answer questions.

This was his first semester teaching this course. The tests/quizzes are created by a different professor, which can be tricky, but Bro. Diehl wants to help you learn. Lots of the students stopped attending lectures, which, I believe, hurt them when it came to the quizzes and tests. Attending lecture is absolutely worthwhile.

He's got a PhD in Physiology, and is super smart, but that doesn't mean he knows how to teach it. He's corrected by students often, and just laughs nervously about it. He'll also say things like, "You'll need to know Chapters 4 and 5 for the test, but I'm not going to cover them in lecture, so you'll have to figure it out."Not recommended.

Brother Diehl's class made me want to drop out of school. His lectures last so long, that I constantly fell asleep in his class and I felt like I never got anything out of his lectures even though I took the notes prior to the class. One time in class he said "I don't understand why you guys don't get this" and then moved on to the next subject.

Brother Diehl was so kind and caring, if you always did the readings and the review questions you would be totally fine, some of the reviews are quite negative, but its likely because they didn't do all the work. It took me 3hrs to be ready for lectures when I was successful, when i spent less time my test/quiz grade totally showed it Do the Work!!

Bro Diehl is a great guy, but not the best teacher. DONT BUY THE TEXTBOOK. There's a free online version that you will never read. 99% of the things mentioned in lecture WILL be on the test. The first few units were great, but once it got to the physiology units his teaching went downhill. Might be because he doesn't know how to teach those things

This course is really just raw intake all around and will be tough for the high school biology skimmers like myself no matter who you take it from. Brother Diehl's the best. You'll have to invest time before class to watch and read prep material and it's the same no matter who the teacher is. He has optional study sessions after every class lecture

Brother Diehl was not my favorite professor. Bio 264 is a hard class, especially over zoom, and I don't think he new how to teach over zoom. I feel he expected us to know more than he taught. I didn't learn anything from the book and when we went to class he just thought we knew everything.

Brother Diehl is the man! I took his course right when the pandemic started and everything switched to zoom meetings and honestly he adjusted so well in the form of teaching. He's super helpful, teaches clear, has study sessions where he reviews the prep and ponder. Class is pretty hard BUT if you just do the prep and ponder question you will pass!

One of my favorite professors by far. He really knows his stuff and wants to make sure that you actually understand the concepts taught in class rather than just memorizing facts. He offers one hour study sessions after class and they are very useful in solidifying new information. Makes you work for an A, but makes you a better thinker overall

Brother Diehl wasn't a bad professor, he just wasn't a professor at all. I routinely had 1.5 hours of homework and reading (more than my other classes combined) and basically taught the class to myself. The average on the final was a 50% and it wasn't even curved. I would suggest taking a different GE science.

Brother Diehl knows his stuff, but was not a great professor. I felt like I was left to teach myself all the material. He uses other teachers' lectures and only answers a few questions and gives pop quizzes during class time. The class is also extremely test heavy. I just felt pretty lost and forgotten the entire semester. Do not recommend.

Brother Diehl overall was an okay professor, but some things he did was frustrating. He starts the class out with a quiz on Top Hat, but in my opinion (and plenty of others I've talked with), the quizzes were too hard! He doesn't tell you specifically what the exam will cover, so sometimes it's hard to study.

Diehl is funny, answers questions, and encourages you to meet with him out of class hours. Do the reading before class every time. Go to after class hours, and meet with tutors if you need it
