One of the best instructor's I've ever had!!

I enjoy this instructor so much, I took two of his classes with a B both times. He's hard, but he makes you learn. I remember more from his classes than any other instructor. If you are lookin for the easy way out, take someone else. But if you are looking for a *quality* education, this is it.

Quit your whining, you pansies. A high grade of 78%? The question isn't what he will do about it, but what are you going to do about it?

Great Proffessor! A little on the tough side, but well worth it!

Possesser of vast knowledge and able to explain it well. I agree that people say's he's hard but who would not be in a hard class.

Very Hard class, and on top of that he is a hard teacher, but a very good one. He is kind of a smart ass, but I like that. Take notes and study hard, and do your microtheme. That is 30 %of your semester grade. If you don't do that well on the tests, but you do a good job on your microtheme then you will be alright.

Fenster's a good teacher;as long as your not a dumbas* & keep quiet when he teaching, hes cool; His tests are off the notes, reading chaps wil help Don't miss any labs or be late on the microtheme and u'll do gr8; his tests are hard if you dont know the notes, so study/ we had dumbas*es in class that talked/he hates that &they failed!) good class

Fenster comes off as a hard ass, but after sticking with the class most all of us loved him!I think that he starts out mean, because he wants people to drop, but if you stay w it then he will like you. Some things to rem. are have your cell phone turned off!! and if you come in late, never walk in front of him and the class!!

Follow instructions to the letter regarding the microtheme and you will get a high A. You will leave the class feeling like you accomplished something, especially since we had a 60% attrition rate for people not keeping up. Teacher is one of the few PHD's on the campus and performs as such.

Not a class for flaky students. He states the rules the first day, and sticks to them. Not an "easy A." However, if you pay attention to what he says, & STUDY, you'll do fine. He's a cynical guy, but he will joke w/ you, and help you when you ask. He also dropped the lowest test & lab scores to help grades. W.I. paper is easy if you don't slack.

He tells you the rules on the first day - he's strict and expects you to do the work, but he's fair and funny. He drops your lowest test score, and answers all questions (I even called him). I learned alot and enjoyed the class - and I HATE science!

One of the best teachers I have ever had! I got all C's or D's on the tests but A's and B's on the homework. But an A on the semester project! I finished with a high B! I had tons of fun! He makes jokes everyday and is very easy to talk to about ANYTHING! Learned a lot!

I had Fenster for 2 different classes. He is an awesome teacher for biology. He made that class enjoyable and fun, he would help with anything. He was completely different for Nutrition! He is a health nut and if you aren't, you're made to feel like crap. Very strict in that class and the diet analysis was impossible!!!

He is a great teacher. He makes the information very interesting and easy to remember. If you need help or have questions he is always there to help. When the microtheme is passed out get started on it, DONT WAIT!! Make sure to get each source approved before the due date to make sure you get all of your points. GREAT TEACHER!!

I had Dr. Fenster Spring '09. I highly recommend Dr. Fenster as your biology professor. If you need to take an intensive writing class, take Bio 101 Writing Intensive! He checks your paper several times to edit before the final copy is due. It is impossible to fail your microtheme! Biology labs are awesome with Dr. Fenster!

Print off his lecture guides use them to take notes you will pass each quiz everytime easily, TAke the whole time on your diet analysis you will do fine. Overall easy if you print off the lecture guides

If you cannot handle this professor then you will fail at the University level. He is tough but if you get to know him and ask educated and well developed questions he will help you. Great professor to have, however remember that you earn your grade. He does not play favorites when it comes to grading.

Very strict and grades very hard. His quizzes are unannounced and go over ever lecture. I had to record every single lecture and re listen to it. With the effort I put into this course I was not satisfied with my end result. Avoid this teacher!!!

Fenster is a hard teacher--but if you put in the effort, he will give you the grade. I got an A. Has a high drop rate, but once you make it past that, he is willing to help. Go to his office, ask questions, STUDY and you will get an A.

Take good notes and study them. The quizzes are based on these and they are preparing you for the final. One pop quiz/week stopped being a surprise after the 1st week. Put the time and effort into your diet analysis as this is a major part of your grade and it shows him what you have learned. He is very helpful if you ask questions/participate.

I disagree with most of the comments on here. Dr Fenster was one of the best professors I've ever had. I learned a lot in his class. I received an A. the only reason anyone should have had any trouble is if they didn't show up to class or study at all.

One of the best Professors I've ever had. He does have high expectations, but was very helpful when I had questions. I was actually surprised to see what some other people wrote. All I can say is if you take him be prepared to study and show up to class. I got an A and unlike what other people said I am far from a science nerd

Dr.Fenster was a genius, he was also extremely helpful as long as you asked. If you listen and take notes you'll be fine. he teaches well and definitely my favorite teacher ever.

This course is what a college course should be. You are challenged, and you learn. You have to apply yourself, but if you do there is no reason you should not pass. (college isn't about doing nothing and getting an A, it's about actually learning) The prof is passionate about his work, knows what he is talking about, and is funny. Great lectures!

He's very helpful! I went to his office and he explained exactly what I did wrong. He may come off as rude, but I say deal with it! Take the sometimes funny/unfunny jokes! I'd take him again if I could, and its sad that I could only take him once.

He is a difficult teacher at times, but he is helpful as long as you are willing to put in the work and ask for help when you need it. He is not cruel. He engages his class well during his lessons and makes himself readily available should you need the help. He is also very understanding of outside factors causing in class difficulties.
