I currently have him for Ecology and I adore him! He is such a sweet guy and he's pretty funny, he always manages to make me smile. While he gives amazing lectures, his tests are rather difficult. I recommend going to Office Hours as much as possible, and go over your exam results with him. He may even give credit back on things you missed!

Dr. Outomuro is a great teacher, his classes are lecture dependent for his tests. He doesn't test on anything outside of his lecture material which is a plus. His class does require you to apply knowledge rather than just memorize. He is always available outside of class and really cares about his students! His office hours are helpful!

Dr. Priede was AMAZING. Exams were so easy, they were straight from the lectures. People did not take ecology seriously and thus did poorly on the exams. But the exams purpose is to test how well you understand the concepts, and it accomplished that goal. He literally gave a (6%) boost on EVERY exam... Easiest science class ever, best professor!!!

Professor Priede was a fantastic teacher, best one I’ve had so far. The exams are very straight forward and based only on the lectures and what we discuss in class. As long you do the work and prepare for exams based on the lectures then the class is a breeze.

he is a tough professor but does a great job answering questions in and out of class. Use the study guides provided by TA's and the practice questions at the end of textbook. Overall if you read the textbook and pay attention to lectures you should do well, and if you have any questions you can ask him and he will make sure you understand.

Brilliant professor, great lecturer, excels at explaining difficult concepts, and wants his students to be successful be providing them with many helpful resources. In order to do well in this class, I recommend keeping up to date with readings and taking notes prior as his lectures are a perfect opportunity to add to your notes.

Honestly a great choice for BIOSC 1010! Its definitely work heavy during the first half but really lightens out. He is a pretty easy/fair grader and gives a lot of good feedback to improve writing. Overall pretty lowkey class and solid choice of professor.

He's not as bad as everyone makes him out to be. You just need to put in the work. I changed my study habits after the first half of the course and it really paid off. Office hours also helped a lot. Grades are test heavy but he drops one, and one gets replaced by the final. There are also bonus points instilled in the tests, homeworks, and tophats

At the beginning of the term, he was not my favorite professor but now I really recommend him. I got a B- on my first exams but learned how to study for his class and ended with an A. He's a good lecturer and accessible outside class. He drops one midterm and a final, 20% of the grade is hw and participation (basically everyone got full points).

An amazing choice for ecology, would take again, It is worth going to the lectures as there are in-class tophat questions for your participation and worksheets. He explains things so well and the exams were super fair. Mostly multiple choice with some free response questions. He cares about your grade as well(gave easy extra credit points on exams)

Take Prof. O for Ecology! If you understand the lecture slides (most material was quite easy) and homework, you'll be fine. He and the UTAs have lots of office hours-- he's very friendly and good at explaining everything. A few extra credit opps. The only negative is that you have to attend like 2/3rds of all classes for full participation points.

I really enjoyed this course! There were lots of opportunities to earn points, and you can drop your lowest exam score. The exams were only given from material we covered in lecture, so no surprises! Definitely go to office hours once a week, they really help. Make sure to keep on top of the readings and assignments, since they can pile up.

Attendance is pretty much mandatory to get participation points, tests can get a bit difficult, but all the material are on the slides. Probably one of the better professors in Bio 2

I think some people that are leaving ratings need a reality check that maybe their bad grade is because of them and not the professor. Personally, I had a great time with Dr. Outomuro but you really need to be proactive in his classes. Go to lectures, go to office hours for extra clarification, and review the material slowly each day.

I don't know why he has such a low rating! He is seriously my favorite professor I've ever had. All I did was go to lecture and read through the textbook. He was super accessible outside of class and always went through exams with students. There was plenty of extra credit and his exams could not have been more straightforward. Definitely take him!

He was a nice professor who cared about his students, he wants to help you and has plenty of office hours. Make sure you do all the homework and attend lectures because those points will be worth 25% of your grade. It is do-able, but you need to put work in. He drops a test and the final is optional but could replace your lowest score.

I am terrible at biology and usually hate the class. But Dr.O made it enjoyable to learn. His tests are extremely hard and there is a lot of material to learn. But his office hours are very helpful. I definitely struggled in his class but you just have to put the work in for the grade. Definitely study every week and go to office hours.

I don't mind professor with good/bad rating. I solely rely on studying independently, thus I honestly don't know any negative feedbacks were valid. He replied my emails quickly and he answered my questions without frustration. Also, I liked learning new stuffs, especially ecology. Also, ch.13 and 14 was very fascinating subject.

Dr. O was my favorite bio professor I've ever had! He's kind and makes the content easy to digest. All resources you would need to know the material are provided and he's very kind. He's very knowledgeable in ecology and cares about his students. He gives a lot of extra credit opportunity and even brought succulents for his students one day!

He's a really nice professor and he definitely cares about his students. I wouldn't suggest taking the 8am if you plan on skipping because his lectures are really important for understanding. I however did like the class format and really enjoyed ecology with him :)

he is the best choice for ecology. if you read the textbook thoroughly and understand the material on the slides, youre set for an A. there are no tricks on the exams, the questions are straight forward and fair. He also gave us like 6 ec points which helped a lot. graded on 3/4 exams, i did well on the first 3 and didnt take the final

Honestly, I do not understand why he has such a low rating. He is such a sweet professor and clearly wants his students to do well. He was easily accessible over email and responded fast. I will say his exams were pretty difficult, but if you study well it should not be an issue. Office hours were so helpful so I recommend going to those.

I loved this class and Dr. O as a professor. He is great at teaching all subjects and his notes are super organized. His class is set up so that missing a lecture or two won't hurt your grade (but definitely go anyway) and if you aren't a good test taker you can still get a good grade. He is super helpful outside of class, too.

I definitely recommend Dr. O, although there were a lot 6 exams you are able to drop 2 of them including the final. His lectures were recorded and once you figure out his question style and keep up with the topics you will be fine. Definitely need to study but way better than the other bio professors.

Dr. O is always rooting for you. He wants you to learn and do well in his course. He is always available at office hours and explains topics so it is easy to understand. He offers extra credit and 2 exams dropped. His course is hard but not impossible, you just have to put more work in like any other science class.

If you ended with a bad grade in this class, it's probably because you didn't study enough, the professor is sweet, accessible, and there to help. There are six exams total with two drops, including an option to drop the final. Do the achieve textbook questions on top of review to prep for the exam, they help a lot!! Not too hard, just study.

The tests are very specific on what he says in class and slides. Sometimes he talks a little too fast during lecture so do notes before class and take notes on what he says during lecture. Do achieve problems before tests. Office hours are very helpful. Overall, he is overhated and is very kind if you are too.

I don't know why RMP removed my review but - his tests only contain what was taught in lecture and is super achievable to get an A in his class. Just study all the slides in depth as well as the recitation activities. Also, he gives EC, drops 2 tests, and gives a lot of buffer points. I am looking forward to taking ecology with him next semester.

Dr. O does not deserve his low rating. He's passionate about teaching and gets excited when students ask questions and show improvement. People say he is sassy because he calls them out if they talk during lecture, but this is appreciated by students who are trying to listen. With the right amount of effort, it is very possible to succeed.

I loved Dr.O! Only gives exams on lecture material and questions basically just come from the slides. He gives extra credit and hes super nice and genuinely cares. He is also a very good lecturer in my opinion.

I don't think Dr. O was a bad professor at all. The exams are decently tough, but as long as you take notes and study, especially from the lectures, you should be fine. Dr. O does really care about his students and wants to make sure that they understand the content. He loves questions as well. Overall he's great! Don't let the bad reviews fool you

Dr. O is very funny and kind, making this class even more enjoyable. The course material is definitely interesting but gets into physics a bit at the end, so it helps if you have taken that before. This is an upper-level bio class but is worth taking if you need a bio elective.

Uses flipped classroom a LOT. I feel like he does this to take points away if you don't show up to class which is very frustrating for an 8 am. DO NOT TAKE IF U LIKE SLEEPING IN. Otherwise he's a totally great prof.

Super nice guy! Material was interesting and easy to understand. There are textbook readings but I didn't do them. Weekly HW that is a canvas quiz (2 attempts). 4 exams and get to drop lowest (no final). Exams are fair and mostly MC. Many flipped classes where you do HW before class then do a WS in groups in class. Extra points built in as buffer.

you need to do everything possible to get a good grade so he really helps shape your habits as a student. go to office hours, actively learn in lecture, the full 9 yards.

Dr. O is a great person and he is always willing to help if you ask. His exams are pretty difficult and focus on a lot of details but he also has many extra points with help boost your grade.

Dr. O is honestly one of the kindest and funniest professors I've had and he truly cares about students. His tests were just really hard and no matter how much studying or tutoring you did you still would average around the same score. His tests had complex application questions that are way more complex and detailed than his lecture slides.

Dr. O is a really great professor. I will say, his tests/recitation sheets are pretty specific but the tests are basically all multiple choice so if you know the material well enough, the tests aren't bad. Only three out of the five count, including the final, so it's pretty much optional. HW, recitation, and attendance points are all easy 100s

Dr. O shows great care to his students and wants everyone to succeed. The course is taught using a textbook but just reading the lecture slides and doing practice problems and homework is enough. Exams align well with lecture and recitation material and there are tons of extra bonus points built in for exams, homework, recitation, and attendance.

Great professor and you can tell he cares a lot about what he is teaching. A lot of extra credit, office hours are very helpful, and great study guides for practice. Exams were definitely difficult but not impossible just very conceptual. Overall great professor.

David is SO SWEET he truly cares about all his students. Me and my classmates were so surprised with how rude these rating were bc he truly gave his students all the resources needed for tests. He loves what he does and his lectures are not boring. I love this man and would recommend anyone to take him. You also get to drop 2 of 5 tests!! TAKE HIM!

Dr. O is a great good and a very knowledgable professor. His exams are very difficult, but bio 2 is difficult in general. Start studying for his exams really early because they are entirely application questions. He is only sassy when people are being rude and disrupting class.

Dr. O is kind and wants the best for his students. His lectures were good and the worksheets helped to break information down. However, his tests are hard and mostly application based. He does allow you to drop 2 of 5 tests, including the final, which is very generous. Study early for tests and go to office hours to ask questions.

He gets so much hate, and for what? The class IS hard, and I studied a lot (5-6 hours per exam). I only took 4 exams of 6 since my grade was high enough (you only need 3). The PCR exam is the hardest for sure, and I failed, but I got good grades on all the other ones, so don't get discouraged. You don't have to read, but it helps to study.

Dr O is very nice and he deserves a better rating. His notes are very clear and he did review sessions in class before each test, which were very helpful. He gave 2 points extra credit on every test, and other extra credits (i got 5). His tests are hard but fair, if you really understand the material you would be fine. Go to class and recitations!!

Dr. O is amazing! Clear slides, fair exams (from slides), fast replies, super sweet in office hours. Recitations are group-based & kinda weird—one made me cry lol, so work well with your group. Overall great prof, made Bio2 way better the second time. TAKE HIM!

Dr. O is very passionate about ecology. He is very accessible and willing to help his students. Tough class, count 3 out of 4 exams, no final. Many in-class worksheets so do go to class. Enough inflation space if you have to miss though. Overall recommend!

This is my third time taking Dr. O, and I always loved his classes every time. His tests are literally from just the slides, and he gives a lot of opportunities for extra points. He is also great at clarifying things in his OH. His RMP rating is definitely not representative of his actual teaching skill, and I would rate him a 5/5 every time.
