He is very clear and precise. no games. however I suggest you NEVER EVER miss a class cause he only gives out his notes on that 1 day, and he quizzes the next. you miss his class or test YOU ARE SCREWED! and BE ON TIME...his classes are short but if you r a slacker, you'll FAIL with an "F"

He knows a lot. I think he is a good professor, but toooo tricky on his test & quisses,and I personally think is no need for it. beside he doesn't aloud students to keep their test, and forget about reviews for the final.If U want and A choose another teacher.I can bit that in every class with 30 students only a few of them will end with A.

The best professor I've ever had. I took bsc2085, 2085L, bsc2086, 2086 L, and got A in all four classes. You have to study though, if you're lazy and don't like studying, don't take him 'cause you'll fail miserably. He explains very clearly, no homework, but gives quizes every week for every chapter

I took the class and got an A. His tests/quizzes are never given the first day of the week. For ex. in a MWF class his tests/quizzes are given on Wed. I would read the packet of notes he gave us on the 10min metro ride every mon, tues and wed morning and i got 100 in all except two quizzes and 90-96% in his tests.

Great for lecture. Provides you with hand outs with summary of chapters. Weekly quizzes adhere to concepts covered in the handout. If you study the hand out you'll do well. Sucks for lab. First 5 mins of lab time, tells you what the next weekly quiz is about and leaves you on your own. However, for the lecture is great! For BSC2086 tests get harder

Alot of the negative feedback for this professor is mostly due to people -not studying-. What you'll like about this professor is that -everything- on his notes are on the test and there are -no surprises-. In short, study his notes. With a weekly quiz/exam (at 15 questions for quizzes and 50 per tri-weekly exam), you'll remember the material.

He is very methodical and a micro-manager when it comes to class rules. Almost every class had a quiz or a test so it's imperative to never miss a class. The exams and quizzes are manageable if you study the notes he dictates in class- he makes it easy to obtain a good grade if you're willing to study- it takes a lot of time to study for this cla

He's a great teacher. You can tell he really enjoys teaching. This is my 2nd attempt in Bio. My last teacher sucked and i was failing. But Prof. Maser makes Bio very interesting. No textbook required. All his tests come from his outlines (which are very short). If you can't pass this class, something is wrong with you. A+++++
