He explains things OK to the class but is very fast paced. This class is by far the hardest I have ever taken. His exams are very difficult and unpredictable. He is very knowledgeable and answers questions to your satisfaction, but I'm not sure I would recommend him unless you have a strong biology background or if you are an independent learner.

Very good professor, one of the few that I have had that really knows how to teach & knows his stuff & is excited about the subject. Would highly recommend him if you really want to learn something, but the class requires you to put in a good amount of time & read the chapters assigned, that will be helpful..because he does test on the reading, too

I recommend that you get well aquainted with blackboard because thst is how all the quizzes are administered. His tests are really hard but as long as you do well on everything else it should be fine. Just read and take good notes.

Whats wrong with people? Hes annoying. He nags and is not a good teacher. He goes on and on and if you dont know something, he exploits it. He doesnt give clear guidelines and does not like to repeat himself. Tests do not reflect his teaching. He gets off on making you sweat. Its a hard subject but he makes it worse. No study guides or hw.

Skip class? You won't pass.

Good Professor actually cares if you learn it's best if you familiarize yourself with the chapter and the materials before class then at least you'll have some kind of understanding in class you MUST TAKE THE TIME TO STUDY if not it will show I had him online and he was very thorough MILK HIM FOR INFO IF YOU CAN he knows his stuff

Dr Greene is one of the best professors Ive ever had in the college. Just get ready to work with him till the end and you wont regret it. The lecture seems so overwhelming in the beginning cos of the work load but keep pushing and youll get there. Be sure to do all the extra credits for a good grade.

Love him!!! He truly makes you work for your grade. He can recognize the students who are truly trying their best, so dont be lazy. Show up, record the lectures, complete the lab assignments and you will pass. You have to try extremely hard to fail. He is amazingly intelligent and will make you laugh. He is harsh but only because he cares!

Dr Greene is a very straight shooter. Whatever guidelines he sets WILL BE FOLLOWED TO THE LETTER. He does care about your grade and is very pleased when students participate and show understanding of the material. Responded promptly to emails, extra credit helps but not much.

Come to class prepared and ready to discuss the assigned chapters. His PowerPoints are extremely helpful and he highlights what material is going to be on the exam. NEVER MISS LAB & the CONNECT extra credit will save your grade if you are struggling in the class. He sometimes lets students use a cheat sheet for exams which was pretty cool.

He admitted he changed for my semester and decided to make it harder than his previous classes. We understood everything in the lecture and studied hard but when it came down to the tests he would use the most complex language almost intentionally trying to fail us. Half the class dropped by the end and everyone was disappointed by their grade.

Had him for BIO 155/295 & got an A in both. Great teacher but class is difficult (any micro course is). You have exams every 3 ch. & labs 2x a week. Keys to passing include doing the Connect extra credit HW (this will help you study & 5 pts add up).Review the ch. ppt notes which summarize the textbook reading. Lasting, do the lab reports right away

I definitely feel like he makes this course harder than it needs to be. Its already a difficult course and you need to dedicate a lot of time to study and prepare.

Unfortunately, he isn't very respectful. Asking a question will be answered with sarcasm and narcissism. Students become discouraged form asking questions. Study guides are useless, and his lectures are scattered and difficult to follow. Sometimes he just flat out won't answer a simple, valid question. Very strange. Seems tired of teaching

He expects you to become doctors of microbio and pushes students too hard. He is extremely unfair. BEWARE

Does that soundgood2U?
