Very good teacher! The best!!!!

Very good teacher. Tries to make botany intresting. Tests are smemi-difficult so keep up and do the reading!

Make sure you KNOW your going to be a science major because he formats his tests with that in mind, (to get you ready for advanced classes). He tries to make the subject interesting, but I never got his 'style' of testing.

Difficult to follow his teaching style, but he goes out of his way to help you. A genuinely nice guy who knows his stuff. The first time I took Botany I failed *due to skipping class), but took it agian and loved it (got an A).

Uses power point for class lecture. Easy to follow. Great personality and willing to help students. BUT you must study to pass. His tests are not always simple. WOuld recommend for any student.

GO TO CLASS! Boring subject but he makes it easy. Tests are difficult if you don't go to class b/c they come straight out of the notes. Take him, you'll get a good grade.

Great teacher. If he offers Medicinal plants, take it. Its an awsome class. Always willing to help.

good teacher lectures are kinda boring grading is ok you have to study for tests gives 4 tests 4th is the final just cant miss class too much information you will miss

Always helpful, funny, nice. Tests are pretty straight forward, but you still must study. If you attend class you should make a B or A. He actually had a graph of grades related to attendence, and nobody who missed less than two classes had below a C.

Gravatt is an awesome guy! His class is fairly easy, you have to go and you have to study but he offers a lot of extra assignments to buffer your grade. Go by his office and ask him questions, he loves it, and you'll get free candy!

Very helpful and for the most part, clear. Uses power point, multi/match/10 fill in blank on test= not hard, takes lots of attendence quizes so must attend class, easy A is summer or reg semester

Very nice person. The lectures can be boring if you're not interested in the topics, but take good notes and you'll be fine. You have to study hard for the tests but when you do it pays off. He is always willing to help. Go to class. Gives attendance quizzes plus you don't want to miss any material.

Dont miss class or you will get lost, and you have to study hard to pass his tests.

He's a great professor, but you really have to study hard.

Gravatt is a really awesome guy.He drives a harley and loves to talk about them. His class isnt too bad, YES YOU HAVE TO STUDY. Missing a class or 2 will have you lost,TRUST ME. If you study and go over notes then the class is fairly interesting and easy. Use WEBCT you'll get bonus points, literally

This should be taught as the Intro class that it is but NO! He even tells you that he will treat the class as if everyone is a biology major. For a guy that drives a motorcycle and talks about beer, he complains way too much. Helpful but an ASS at times.

He is really a nice guy! Make sure that you go to class because he takes alot of attendance quizzes and get on Web CT too to look at his study guides too. Make sure that you know the Plant of the days! I would recommed taking him for Botany. Go to SI too because it helps!

He is a very nice, helpful teacher. Too bad his tests are extremely hard, so be prepared to study! His lectures are very boring. Also, be prepared to take 3-4 pages of notes!

This class is very hard but if you go to his office and ask for help he is willing to help you. If you don't skip class and take good notes you will be ok. DON"T be afraid to ask questions!!!!!

He is a great teacher if you go by his office he is very willing to help. Also he is extremley nice, his classes are hard and you must study.

Class is very hard, to get a good grade you must study in advance. He makes the material interesting. I recommend taking him. Also he gives lots of extra credit points for doing the work and showing up to class.

The class is somewhat simple to pass IF you actually read and look over the notes. All of his presentations are on Power Point (Good luck trying to get him to go back a slide or two). The lab can be difficult if you let it. Just be on top of your game and you will d well in this class.

This class is really cool. His tests are not that hard if u just study in advance. Lab is really easy. His lecture is on Powerpoint, so it is easy to keep up with. He gives alot of extra credit. I am expecting an A in the class.

This guy is totally awsome! Great teacher, fun class. But just because he's fun, that doesn't mean you can slack off in his class! Don't be late for class, he locked someone out for a few minutes once. When she kept knocking he let her in and made her promise not to be late again.

I loved this class! I was skeptical when I first started but Gravatt makes the class very interesting. Its easy too follow along in class since he uses powerpoint and the tests come right from your notes. If you before a test youll do great in the class.

As long as you study you will do fine. He is willing to help if you are lost, he is there for more then just study help as well you just need to talk he will listen. An overall great guy.

By far the best teacher at SFA. Dr. Gravatt really knows his material and makes it really easy to understand. I made a 68 on his first test and improved to a 90 by the third. Just study your notes and you will make a good grade. He is very helpful and is willing to take the time and help you if you need individual help.

nice guy. made a B in the class but noticed people were doing worse. study a lot. the material is hard but he's a good teacher. everything is on powerpoint and he curves the tests.

Gravatt is a nice guy but you must study alot for his tests and study your notes everyday. I'm failing his class just because I didn't study enough. JUST STUDY OR GO TO SI AND YOU WILL PASS!

He is a nice man. Just dont have your phone go off or get attitude.

I found that his tests were straight from his notes. If you study those, you should be fine. He emphasizes alot of things in class that are on the test. Don't hesitate to ask him questions... he likes that. But don't think you won't have to study for this class.

Dr. Gravatt is a difficult professor, but if you study and avoid procrastination, you will learn a lot in his class. He's always in his office and willing to help you with whatever you need. I think he's a wonderful professor and given the chance I would take him again for sure.

This class was difficult and required studying, but it is possible to earn an A with hard work and dedication. Just don't slack off, make a good grade on the first test, and turn you cell phone off.

This class does require effort on your part, but this is college after all. Dr. Gravatt is extremely well educated and is always willing to help a student in need. Know your stuff before you ask him something obvious, turn your phone off in class, and don't get mad if he asks you to leave. Lectures are given in Power Point. Always a plus!

Ok he is an extremely smart man!! Although all his lectures come straight from power points.. be careful because that is where he gets you, you are so busy writing them down that you forget to listen to what he is saying, and it always finds its way on the test! My advice.. buy a recorder and listen to the lecture when you study, you have to study!

This class requires a lot of studying, but as long as you study well and know your stuff you'll get an A. The professor is always willing to help if you have questions, and the lab is quite fun and easy.

Overall, this class is easy. Gives several quizes for extra credit. Tests usually have five bonus points built in. I took cell and molecular during the summer, and there were lots of A's. It's not a bad class at all. Tests are multiple choice. Great Professor, Great Class.

I learned a ton in both courses. He was very interesting, if you work hard you will for sure get a B. An A will be a lot of work, but I think his class is worth it considering all of the knowledge I walked away with!

Dr. Gravatt is a great professor. Take good notes and listen during lecture. Make sure to write down quiz questions. They're on the tests! Go to S.I.! I can't stress that enough. Read over your notes every night and skim through the textbook before the test and you will be fine. This class isn't that hard if you study like you should.

Dr. Gravatt is a very good professor, but everytime I went into office hours and asked about the questions I missed on the test he made me feel a bit dumb for missing a question. Other than that, the material is very hard but Dr. Gravatt makes it somewhat interesting.

His test are hard, but you walk out knowing everything you need to know to pass the class.

He is a great professor and I would definitely take him again. He follows his syllabus to a t and lets you know what information will be on each test. Don't misconstrue this praise as an indication of the class being easy, because he will make you work for your grade! However, if read your book, take good notes, and study, you'll do fine.

Dr. Gravatt truly wants his students to learn the material, which makes him a great professor. His tests weren't bad (if you study and go to SI). Watch out for pop quizzes!! Just because he gave one last class, DOES NOT mean he won't give another for the next class. Make sure you're on time too, because he won't give you the quiz if you're late.

Great professor. The class was tough and you need to study a lot if you want a good grade. Homework is due before the lecture so you will need to read ahead.

Dr. Gravatt is great. The only downside is that if you haven't taken bio recently, it can be hard to understand the content. He expects you to have previous knowledge. His tests were almost exactly like the power point slides. He explains the slides well. I recommend reading the textbook a lot. Test questions were copy and pasted from quizzes.

Dr. Gravatt is a great professor and quite passionate about biology. In order to do well in this class you must show up to class, take notes, study the powerpoints!!, go to SI, look over the textbook, and do MasteringBiology. Getting an A, and passing is totally doable but you must put in the effort. He is always available when you need help. :)

Lots of reading and memorization. He will indicate in lectures what will and what won't be on exams. If he emphasizes a particular section, know it like the back of your hand and you'll do well on the exams.

I took the online class. There were two discussion questions and one quiz due every week. The discussion questions aren't bad, but make sure to elaborate somewhat. Easy grader if you try. You have to have the textbook.

Homework heavy and can take an hour or so per homework assignment on MyLab. Overall easy, answers are easy to find online. Got an A on everything but Discussions. Grades strict on discussions so keep that in mind. Other than that take the time out of your night/day to do the work and you'll be fine.

This class was pretty easy. Dr. Gravatt made the class interesting even though it was all online. The homework was on MasteringBiology so it was really easy. Only thing was that we had to be on top of our discussion posts. It says "Due Saturday @11:59" but he would count off if it wasn't turned in by Wednesday. I would take this professor again.

Took this class online and it was super easy. He requires you to get the online McGraw Hill Connect which is where you will do all of your work. You get pre work assignments that give you a free 100 at the end. You also will have virtual labs that give you a free 100 at the end. You also have easy homework and exams. Would take again.

Very talkative fellow loves science
