He's a busy guy, but if you catch him, he's a big help.

He is a really cool guy. His tests are really hard though.

I was nervous because the class is a designed for Bio Majors/Nursing students, etc. I did great! His tests are right from the notes and he discusses the notes in class. If you read the book and put forth an honest effort you will succeed!!!

I learned quite a bit from the class. If you read the chapters and pay attention to lecture you will do well! Hint: His tests are directly from his lecture & notes! I'm definitely more proficient in Biology and a bit of Chemistry now.

He is a great professor! Tests are exactly from the notes, you just have to know what to study. GO TO HIS OFFICE!!! IT HELPS SO MUCH!! Also go to study sessions, and you'll succeed.

He is a little corny, but very helpful. The tests are very specific details but if you study your notes you would do alot better. He gives all the notes online. The curve is awesome you could get a 50 all tests and still pass w/ a C.

Very good teacher. If you pay attention, you will do fine. I found it to be a tough class, but he is always willing to help. I liked his class and I liked him. I thought that he was funny too!!

Lectures are pretty boring. I got a B and I never read the book once, study your notes for the tests. All notes are available on blackboard and any minor detail is testable. Oh yeah, always laugh at his jokes, even when they aren't funny.

Excellent teacher. Clear. Tells you everything you need to know. Provides lecture outlines and grades fair. I think he's funny!

Tests are hard, but they come right from the notes. He's willing to help you if you need it, but just go to the lectures and study and you should be fine. I got an easy A.

HE is a very good teacher. I got a c+ in his class. I would have done a lot better if I would have picked up good study habits in the beginning. The tests are directly from the notes. I started to good at the end.

I really liked this class and I think he is a really good teacher.

Had him for several courses. One of my favorite profs. Did an excellent job explaining and clarifying.

Pretty easy. Hard tests. Must know notes word for word. Don't buy the book because you don't even open it. Tests are DIRECTLY from the notes.

Dr. Stanton tests straight from his notes he gives in class. If you cannot get a good grade by memorizing your notes, you may not be ready for college classes that are easy to get good grades in. Memorize Notes= Success

lets face it; upper-division bio classes need work. excellent teacher, very helpful, and everyone likes a little cheese with their lecture.

he is a good teacher and clarifies ideas well. He tests from the notes so if you take him be ready to memorize and it will be an easy semester.

he is ok

Tests are exactly from the notes, but you must memorize every single piece of info in your notes to do good on the tests which are only 40 ques. each, but worth 150 pts. Stanton is a good teacher though.

His notes are very choppy. He tends to make things difficult when they shouldn't be. He is a good teacher though. But all his 40 question test are taken from the notes. STUDY THEM COMPLETELY! DOn't bother buying the book. It won't help you.

Lets see... if you like to memorise 35-40 slides for every test then this guy is for you. He's a good teacher, but he sure does know how to put people to sleep. He does have a tendancy to be boring and his corny jokes get old really quick.

He is a very good teacher, hard though. If you expect an A, then you have to be willing to spend the time to work for it. Tests are taken exactly from the notes, so study every word of those to do good on the tests. If you study all the 40 slides good then you will get a good grade, he grades on a curve too. Always willing to help if needed.

If you are looking to learn something, this professor is worth taking.

This class is extremely straight-forward and if you canot get a decent grade (such as a B or B+) - it isn't the professors fault.. its your laziness. His tests come exactly from the notes, he curves, and is always willing to help with whatever you need. He even puts his powerpoints on blackboard. All you need to do is memorize the slides

All of the material comes from his PowerPoint slides, which he posts on Blackboard. The tests are harder than you would think, but there is always a MAJOR curve. Don't bother buying the book.

I am usually an all A student but this class got me my first D. Stanton is a good teacher and the lectures are interesting, but he expects you to know everything from the notes for the exams and unless bio is your cup of tea you wont walk out of there with an A. Our class average was 67%. the worst part is that his exams ask trick questions.

Exams are the exact notes taken in class. If you study the notes you will pass with flying colors. With that being said, you have to go to class in order to take notes. Don't bother buying the book you'll never use it.

I had Dr. Stanton for Humen heridity. Great teacher, his test are based on his notes. Make sure you go to class cause he leaves important information out so you come to class to get it. He's funny in a dry sense of humor way. Very good but you need to study!!!

tests were easy, just copy his notes and take good notes so you understand them, his corny jokes get funnier as you get used to his personality, very helpful if you go to his office hours

Don't buy the book, you don't need it. His tests come exactly from him notes so as long as you study them (he likes the examples) then you will do fine.

Do not need the book. Definitely take this class if you are good at memorizing, his tests come straight from the power point. Very willing to answer anything and is quite intelligent.

Test are kind of hard so study a lot. Don't buy the book I only used it once or twice, definately not worth it. Overall a decent professor.

Really nice guy, pretty easy class. If you can learn from notes well you will do well in this class. He makes a lot of attempts at silly jokes and sometimes you get a good laugh. You definitely don't need the book but be sure to study from the notes because that's all he bases his exams off of.

Lectures are boring, but you need to go in order to get a good grade. He does not tell you exactly what is on the tests but if you just study all your notes you will be fine.

TAKE THIS PROF. all you have o do is copy the power points every single question that is on the exam is from the notes and the are NO essay questions on his exams. If yo hate Bio take this guy. plus he gives you sports updates in the beginning of every class : )

You don't even need to go to class to write down what he says as long as you get the powerepoints. I memorized the notes and got an A. He's a pretty decent teacher with a few jokes of his own.

He is a really nice guy with quite a few funny jokes. DON'T buy textbook. You don't need it. His tests cover a lot of material and are difficult-but they are based completely off of notes taken in class. Memorize the notes & you will be fine. The notes can be REALLY hard to understand, so write in your own words.

Explains what will be on the exams very well. DO NOT BUY THE TEXT BOOK. I have not opened it once, and I asked him if I needed to look at the book to prepare for exams and he told me no. The exams are very straight forward. What is on the power point is going to be on the exam. As long as you understand the notes, you will pass the exams.

Stanton was a pretty cool guy. That being said, he isn't the easiest teacher in the world. If you're good at memorizing and don't mind devoting at least a few hours of studying before each exam, you should be alright. He curves the exams A LOT. Which is nice. I finished with an A, I wouldn't say it was easy but its do-able. DONT BUY THE BOOK

Stanton was a pretty solid professor. He does a good job of telling you what is going to be on the tests. As long as you print of the power points and memorize them, you shouldnt have a problem getting an A. Dont buy the book, you wont use it once.

The material is hard but he does a good job explaining it. He gives you the notes and you just have to fill in the blank. Tests are over everything on the notes. There are two writing assignments and he offers extra-credit. Lectures are kinda boring but he tries hard to make it interesting. Pretty good class overall.

He is very cheesy but a great teacher everything in the lecture notes are on the test

David Stanton was a good professor, but be ready to study...A LOT. His exams are based solely on lectures so don't buy the textbook. He goes over 1 chapter per class period, and then gives an exam over 4 or 5 chapters. The exams pull information from ONLY the notes so don't study anything else. He is easy to talk to and his door is always open.

I found that writing lectures word-for-word is basically a guaranteed passing grade on exams (which were usually not as bad as I feared, very straightforward and fair compared to some profs). If nothing else it contextualizes his ultra-vague powerpoint notes. No homework/surprises, just tests (w/ curving). Lab is painfully dull, flies everywhere.

exams are based on LECTURE MATERIAL. know your notes, you know the exam!! be prepared to study, as 5 ish chapters go into one exam, but his exams are just based on his notes. know his notes and you will do fine.

Dr. Stanton really knows a lot about biology and cares about the subject too. His exams are based around 5 chapters of the bio book (which you do NOT need) which are taught as Powerpoints with 7 or 8 slides each. All you have to do is memorize the examples and his material to pass-- you don't need to understand the material, just memorize it.

Dr. Stanton is hilarious. His class is very lecture heavy and his tests reflect everything he says in lecture, so be sure to take good notes and study hard. He's not trying to "trick" you on his tests, just pay attention and take it seriously. I got As on every test, plus there's usually a 10 percent curve. Gives clear examples. I loved his class.

I loved Stanton's class. Personally, my roommate and I thought he was hilarious. If you study and make Quizlets for his tests, you'll do just fine. Plus, he adds a 10 percent curve to every test so that will boost your score. He's sort of goofy, but also really sweet and I would definitely take him again.

Dr. Stanton is one of the best Bio professors at SVSU. He is really goofy, and his lectures can get boring, but overall this was an easy A. Memorize his PowerPoint slides, because all the test material comes from them. Don't buy the book. I'm not a very "sciency" person but my lowest test score was a 93. Put the work in, and you'll do fine.

Dr. Stanton is the funniest and nicest Bio professor at SVSU. His lectures can drag on, but he tries to make jokes when he can. He's very laid-back and approachable. Tests are super easy, just know his PowerPoint slides and you'll do fine. The final is not cumulative, so that's good! Make Quizlets to study the material. I'd take him again!
