Not a good teacher at all!! very confusing, tests are really hard, they don't represent lecture material very well.

The first day, I thought he was going to do well. However, he lectures very generally and brings abstract analogies into his lectures, then turns around and tests specifically. He does not provide a study guide and is not very helpful when approached. Lots of sexual comments during lecture too.

Doug is a character...class is funny but not helpful. You need to go to lecture but it is impossible to not fall asleep so just print off the notes and study from the book. It is a very hard class with tons of material. The class average is always low so the final is a gimme.

He is the worst professor I have ever experienced. You can be a 4.0 student go to every lecture and study hours before the exams and still get a C if you're lucky, because his lectures are so dry and his questions have no relevance to any the material he went over in class. I think he got fired.

You really have to guess and match on his tests. Because he has no practice exams or any availability of homework, or other assignments, you never know what to expect on his tests. he is also very slow when it comes to grading on ANYTHING because he has no TA's or any organization of any kind. Bad professor mixed with a interesting class is no good

He is a terrible teacher! He rambles in lecture and gives you no guidelines for studying. His tests are ridiculous - one grueling fill in the blank paragraph. I've had to teach myself from a textbook used by first year med-students! He doesn't care about teaching - I emailed him for extra help one month ago and still haven't gotten a response.

He does not explain any science aspects of the course well. His lecture slides comprise of just random pictures. More than half of the class is spent on him rambling and telling jokes which is a waste of my tuition money and time. He is also very slow and makes a ton of mistakes on grading. He lies about what is on test material a lot too.

Probably the absolute worst teacher for the physiology series. I highly recommend to pick another or different professor because his style of teaching is just plain bizzarre with no logical structure or organization. His tests are ridiculously worded and they are easily one of the most annoying things ever. I wonder how this person can still teach.

You're given about 100 slides to study for an exam...and yet you only get tested on one or two "pathway" diagrams. He doesn't test anything in general. So, what's the point of studying? It renders you angry and outraged. Also, he is quite cocky. He NEVER EVER replies to email at all. Terrible handicapped teacher. Please choose another prof.

I swear that he is the most cocky and most arrogant teacher at OSU. He doesn't give a crap about anyone. When any student asks him a question, he will put them down and literally tell them to go away. He can't lecture or write fair tests. A lot of people agree that he is one of the worst professors at the university. Try to find another prof!

One of the worst testwriters in history. One "short story" that doesn't really test on the individual concepts and flow. What he really tests us is on if we blatantly memorized just "ONE" of 100 lecture diagrams or slides. I think he should try to improve on his teaching, response time, and testwriting. He never replies to anything you ask him!

His sexual jokes are just not funny....why does he have to tell it all the time? I feel like we all have to sit through class and just watch him blabber--it becomes so apparent that it is a total waste of my time and tuition money. His quizzes and tests are overwhelming...they really don't cover the whole lectures. I feel like he is not explaining.

Non-caring teacher who is reckless when it comes to teaching style & adequacy. His lectures are poorly written & he refuses to answer questions of any kind. Expect frustration & stress as you put your money and time into his class, but only to find that his tests are utter crap. He is arrogant as others mentioned and also cocky. Avoid at all costs.

The textbook is by far the most technical and most useless book for this class. It is great reference material, but not suited for this type of class. You're better off just listening to him babble in lecture time, which still won't leave a clue of what you have to study for his tests. Be prepared to study everything but only tested on one picture.

terrible?just a horrible teacher! i talked to him after class one day and he seemed apathetic about my concern and refused to answer the simplest questions. at first he seemed like a real good teacher, but then his level drops and expects us to randomly figure out what his quizzes & tests were like. the book was NOT helpful either!!

WARNING: DO NOT TAKE ANY CLASSES FROM WARRICK. HE INSULTS HIS STUDENTS AND TEACHES THEM ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. EXPECT A 3 PAGE FILL IN THE BLANK EXAM THAT PERTAINS TO ONLY ONE PATHWAY AND NOTHING ELSE. EVEN WITH READING THE BOOK THROUGH AND THROUGH YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PASS HIS EXAMS. TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE PROFESSOR!!!!!!!!!

After taking the full physiology series from Warrick, and then taking it with Brownell, I can say that Warrick is a terrible teacher and testwriter. His personality is a pain to deal with as he is very egotistical and careless with students and the whole class. You can easily tell by his attitude and his unresponsiveness to students' criticism.

Why is this guy still teaching at OSU?! I thought maybe it was just me that was having a difficult time trying to sift through his nonsense to figure out what I should know for exams, but according to others' comments- its not just me! I wish I would have known before I got in deep with this crap class and I would have taken it with another prof.

Oh the horror...this professor is blatantly wreckful. He has messed up so many hopeful students pursing a health major's dream. He can't lecture, teach, write a test, answer students' questions respectively at all. Words of nonsense comes out of his mouth when he tries to babble his way through class. I believe most of the class hates him. AVOID!

I remember I once e-mailed this guy with a question in a fashionable, respective manner. He just replied with a very demeaning comment as if we were animals. Douglas Warrick is a very rude and hateful teacher. He is careless, egotistical, and extremely selfish being. He does not enjoy what he is doing and often times makes you feel like garbage!

Pathetic professor. I find that he is a little bit useless in this department. Given his years of experience and non professional ethics, it would appear that the reason he was not further replaced by the department is that there are lack of other teachers. I just wish he wrote better. Oh, and it should be that this guy is for most prepharm majors.

Aside from the difficult lecture material, the teacher's contributions are horrendously poor. His teaching etiquette is non-existent. He is unprofessional and noncaring. It is not fully understood what he wants on a test as there are just diagrams and pictures that don't test us on the "whole" but rather solely memorizing his favorite random picks.

what a rude professor! never responds to e-mails or questions in class. never in his office hours. writes silly tests based NOT based on physiological concepts, but memorizing pictures like others said. his fill-in-the-blank tests are more like his childish creations that are just way too confusing for the average reader. blah!

Lectures consist of him rambling about his many slides (or not) and insulting students. Be prepared to take notes on everything he says, then MEMORIZE EVERYTHING FROM THE BOOK and pray that he asks you the stuff you managed to recall on his terribly written tests. Has no office hours and reluctantly answers questions in lecture. Utterly awful.

He's a cool guy, tries to make his lectures somewhat interesting with fun examples. But this term, he was almost always late to class, and was also late to our final exam. You are definitely at a disadvantage if you don't have a copy of an old quiz and half of the class does.

I agree with the below commenter. It is unfair that half of the students have old exams and how the prof uses a lot of the old exams material. Some people even had the old final exams which makes me think they had some sort of arranged meeting with the prof. Other than that, the teacher's tests are horribly written and they are purely memorization.

His oral lectures are okay. His NOTES are terrible on the otherhand. You will scratch your head wondering what the heck he put on the slides. It seems he is a very lazy man reusing same notes and exams. What most people can't stand are the fact that his worded slides don't teach you anything because he just crams one or two words in each slide.

The thing that bothers me most about this prof is that he doesn't test you CONCEPTUALLY, but rather brute memorization of random mechanism slides (arrow pictures). Physiology is about understanding concepts as a whole and being able to test on specific and broad aspects of each body. However, this guy doesn't do that. Horrible misleading teacher...

I absolutely depise this teacher. He can't teach for god's sake. He just rambles and mumbles in lecture now and then with very poor examples. Then he tests us on absurd things that aren't physiology-related, but rather story and makeup sessions. I seriously wish OSU would put more time into investing their physio department for better teachers.

There is no way that you can do good in this class if you don't have an old exam. How do people get old finals and exams is beyond me. The way the class works is you sit through his lectures, but stress yourself like crazy for the exams. Because you have no idea how he writes his test. He just makes it up as it goes. It doesn't test us on physio.

i still do not know why oregon state still has this rude and impatient jerk as a professor teaching a must-have prerequisite for pre health sci/zoology majors. he is one of the worst teachers I have ever experienced. he lacks professionalism, dedication, and manners. overall, he is an pain in the arse to work with. be sure to kiss your GPA goodbye.

One word: terrible. Just terrible. Teacher doesn't care about anyone except himself...very selfish teacher who isn't clear what his outcomes and motives are. By time test comes, he just makes up a random story-type test that really doesn't suit the class. Your best bet is to find old material as that's what he uses most of the time. I would avoid!

What a joke teach. Straight up, it is impossible to get an A in this class. It is hard because of Warrick's inadequacy to provide decent testing material. Be prepared to spend the worst time figuring out what material he wants tested. Just memorize every single figure and little detail there is. Lazy and arrogant person. Should definitely be fired.

class was very hard. the reason being that mr. warrick is not clear on what he wants when it comes down to testing. everyone almost failed his exams because he would put random figures and slides into it. the ppl that did good were the ones who got a hold of the old material, which is the only way to be successful in this course. bad professor.

Apathetic towards students. Very lazy and dishonest teacher. He will say one thing, but never do it (i.e. give us our points back or curve the class). He also rambles on and off about various things not pertaining to our subject matter. Tests suck and are horrible. Never posts PPT notes up as they should...very very snoozy person.

So horrible... this guy tests us on material that we spend maybe 10 minutes on and doesn't test us on stuff we spend a week on. Wow, just absurd. Teacher doesn't know how to write tests either. Now I understand why he is one of the worst rated at OSU. Unfortunately, there can be nothing done because he is the only teacher at OSU. Well, screw him!

Although I can't quite agree with the reviewer below, I have to say that the professor's contributions to the class are lacking. It seems he is not passionate enough to teach as you can tell he is extremely lazy. His testing style is bizarre as he puts emphasis on the most minute topics in the class with the majority of your grade coming from there

Pretty unorganized and lazy teacher. Slides are all over the place. Content is flawed as we learn a lot about animal biology, but never get tested on it. Sometimes he will post slides 30 minutes before class starts which is stupid. Never replies to e-mails. If you ask him anything in class, he will be very rude. He seems extremely un-professional.

Ask anyone who has taken his course before, and you'll hear the same thing over and over again: he sucks. Big time. He can't teach worth anything. Sure he may toss in a few jokes about the human sexual nature and innuendos like that, but he cannot write a test at all. He is one arrogant man with a big ego. You will scratch your heads definitely.

Lazy person. Never responds to e-mails or voicemails. Never in his office hours. Always arrives to class late. Never posts slides on time or posts them 15 minutes before class starts. Not very helpful. Poor test writer. Dishonest teacher--will say one thing, but do another. Don't take anything from him.

Bad exam writer. Tests us on subjects and little details that we did not spend too much time on because of his crappy lecturing capabilities. The man is a funny person, but he is also cocky and very conceited. He only cares about himself, and it shows. He does not have a TA in this class, so he often makes mistakes on the exam. Worst prof ever.

I guess I'm one of the many that despise this professor. He's just really rude to his students and doesn't really care that much in general. He's extremely disorganized. His notes are terrible, and his jokes are bad as well. The format of his tests are not great either. It's just hard to understand what he expects out of us. *sigh*

Disorganized. Prides himself on hard tests/not revealing any practice. always late. Needs to be demoted a step to find his professionalism. I actually hear hes being looked at for associate prof. Bad Decision for OSU. I just have an undergrad degree and I could do better. just lack of caring. OSU needs another prof for this class. its missing alot

Ten weeks of ominous power-points coated in blunt (comical?) mystery of which are actually required course material. Each lecture begins at least 5 minutes late and is mostly anecdotal. Each exam is a useless, cryptic regurgitation from years past. Your advisor will wonder what happened to your gpa soon enough. You should get out while you can.

I have utmost hatred for this professor. All the positive reviews below were written by associates and friends of his. Everyone that I have spoken to share the same passion of disgust we have for this teacher. He is not courteous, nice, nor polite. He never answers his e-mail nor questions regarding his tests. What a joke for OSU and its staff.

not interested in students' learning.... very laid back approach to teaching, and it hurts the class a lot. his tests consists of random pictures and diagrams that don't fully reveal the learning outcomes of the class. unclear expectations of what to do and how to learn. lectures are useless along with the textbook. he just rambles most of the time

Lectures are almost as useless as his slides. What he lacks in organization he doubles down on with his inability to clearly articulate the full scope of what is being covered or what students are responsible for knowing. Best bet is try to find online learning tools to teach you the material, because he is unlikely to do so.

Dr Warrick is the worst professor Ive had. The whole grade is made of of your 3 exams, final is 40% or something. He is disrespectful to disabled students. There is no clarity in lectures, no titles on slides or context to figures. Tests include huge chunks of fill in the blank text. Always misspells things & corrects during exam. DISORGANIZED!

This class is only graded on three large assignments: two midterms and the final. Class average for midterms was a 68%. Slides are all pictures, write down everything he says because every little detail matters on exams. Good luck to anyone taking this class, you're going to need it.

FAIR WARNING After completing this class, I wouldn’t have taken it if I had the information I do now. Graded on 3 assignments: 2 midterms , 1 final (153 question multiple choice final, yes 153 questions). Lectures are almost as pointless as his slides. Get ready to drop your option because this class will destroy your GPA. Best of luck.

Worst prof I've had at OSU. Class is set up for students to fail. Slides have little to no text so you must take notes on every thing he says even his tangents. Does not include all the topics covered on exams in study guides + is the only prof I've had that made a MC exam harder than a free response. Only graded on 3 exams. We need more phys profs

Doug doesn't seem to care about student success, Grade is 2 midterms (25% each) and the final is 50%. There are no study guides,or homework. I loved the material and wanted to learn the content but still struggled to pass this class. Make sure to get a good study group week one and review every single week! This is not a class you can cram for.

Lecture slides are accompanied by little to no information in context and lectures are not recorded, so there is no way to understand them in context. He does not give very much study material for the exams and is hesitant to explain the study material he does put out. Student success is an afterthought in this class.

Absolutely awful class and teacher. The class is only graded on two midterms and a final. There is no curve. His slides are only pictures so if you miss something he says in class, there is no way to find it. He tests on material he has barely covered. It feels like he wants students to fail. I need this class to graduate and he is making that hard

He is a very difficult professor, his class is awful, his tests make no sense. Even his study guides before exams are no help. He tests on memorizing graphs and ridiculous diagrams, feels like he wants you to fail. Difficult to pass even if you attend every lecture. I dont know how hes still a teacher. DONT TAKE IT UNLESS YOU NEED TO
