This is the best science prof. I've had in my entire life. He makes it a lot of fun, and is extremely funny as well.

he's awesome! relates topics to your life, which makes it easier to understand the material. great sense of humor! Expects you to know the material, but finds ways to make it fun/easier to understand. An overall cool dude!

He's an awesome teacher! The class is fun especially the labs!

Class is a tough class, I'm not gonna say its easy but hes an awesome professor who's very willing to help and wants students to succede. He will help in any way possible. What he talks about in class is whats on the exams and he goes at a good pace.

He is the best professor I have ever had, but if you take this class and the lecture is early, be sure to get some sleep. If you don't, then you will miss a lot of important info that you will need to know for the exams. Guarenteed.

Really nice guy, his humor helped in the early morning hours thats for sure. He makes sure you know whats going on before he moves on, very helpful, the labs were really fun! I learned alot!

He's a very nice guy. He gets really excited about his subject and that gets you excited as well. I can't stand science, but he made it enjoyable (even an 8:30 lecture) and even interesting at times. The labs are awesome and you get to eat stuff!

Gary is the man, I hate science, but he made it fun, the labs were very interesting, and he always had great stories. I ended up being asked to tutor for the class because i did so well. I loved the class by the end!

This man can teach! His passion for the subject translates over the way he teaches it. I would recommend his classes to anyone. He knows what he is talking about and he is able to make the subject appeal to everyone.

good teacher and put it in a perspective that I can understand and you can tell he really likes to teach the subject

He is the reason I decided to be a science major. Excellent professor, knows what he is talking about, keeps the class interesting, and is very funny. Even if you absolutely hate science you will love it with him.

Very interesting class. . .I learned a ton, especially for a 100-level class. In fact, it was a bit too much. I'm not against learning, but he really throws a lot at you and the tests are pretty tricky. He is always around to help though and encourages asking questions.

Be on your toes, I pulled a 4.0 but studied everyday. He will mark you down on essays if you don't write EXACTLY what he wants. Super nice guy. You will learn a lot. Gives you study guides before exams- use them! Take any extra credit he gives. Difficult for a 100 level course. Good luck!

This guy is passionate about his job. He loves it. he does seem to force his ideas on you at times but he is always there for help. his assignments take a while to do but if you follow the criteria he gives you. You will be ok.

Professor Greer isn't easy, but you will learn a lot from him. You really need to approach his classes with a good deal of commitment. As long as you keep up on the notes, it isn't hard to get a good grade. He provides a lot of study help, and some interesting extra credit.

Very interesting and knowlegeable professor. Makes class time go by quickly. Although the tests are mostly essay he provides a study guide which the test is made from. Great class!

Hard, demanding class, but you learn a lot if you do the work, and study. He teaches in different styles so you get the most out of the lectures and knows his stuff (most of the time). He wasn't a jerk.

great!

Greer's a hard professor, but he will teach you more than anyone else. Do NOT take this class if you're not willing to work. A lot. We lost around 5 people because they couldn't keep up, and that's 5 spots that could have gone to other people. This was an excellent class, possibly the best I've ever taken, but it was NOT easy. Keep that in mind.

I am a little disappointed in the lack of text book only because I think it would help reinforce the information.

This class isn't an easy A but it definitely isn't impossible. Prof. Greer lectures all class but provides good power points needed for his tests. Take good notes and STUDY for the tests, they can be difficult but are simple if you study.

Don't listen to the other posts. He was the best professor that i have ever had. He made the class very interesting. Yes you have to do a fair amount of work, but if you show up to class it's really easy.

If you show up to class you will do just fine. The tests are only over his lectures so it is a must. Didn't really read the book, just skimmed over the reading to write the weekly reviews which take like 30 minutes at the most. Pretty good professor.

I really enjoyed his class, he gives you plenty of opportunities to work back from a low first exam score. Which your first exam will be difficult, I got a 60 %. But I got help from him and ended up getting an A in the course. Prepare to work hard but he's a great professor.

If you take his class be sure to read the book and do the reviews. He provides you with all the materials to get an A in the class you just have to use them. He gives all the answers to the tests in his lectures, so as long as you make it to the classes you should be fine. It is not a spoon fed class but it is not terribly hard either.

Gary was great!!! I really enjoyed his class and I learned a lot. Im a junior and I thought the class was going to be freshmen's work but it was hard for a 100 level class. If you pay attention in lecture you will do great! Plus it's fun to hear how much he loves the Denver Broncos!

Greer changed things up and did weekly quizzes instead of exams-NO FINAL! But he is tough! I got an A b/c I studied a lot! He knows his stuff and made me love biology again after class! Id take him again if I needed a class he taught! He comes off as arrogant sometimes but he is actually really cool and make you enjoy his class a lot & lots of EC!

This is advanced population ecology. Gary expects a lot. He lectures well, but course concepts and discussions will be time consuming and volatile. Don't expect to have time to work on your thesis if you take this class because much is demanded of you.

This guy is awesome!

Very arrogant while teaching because he is beyond educated in his subject area. I found it difficult to study for the tests because he does not provide any sort of a review, but with other assignments in the grade book the tests did not hurt my grade too much. There was no textbook, assignments came from a novel. Not awful, but not a favorite.

This guy is a riot! he always makes the class fun and interesting, he always knows exactly how to explain something, he always stops to elaborate on confusing topics, and he is always willing to stay after class or meet outside of class to explain further. definitely take this guy if you aren't a biology/science major

Awesome teacher; makes you laugh, does checks in to make sure everyone understands, easy to pass the class if you pay attention and look over the material. Love this class, would recommend to anyone.

There was extra credit on every quiz and you can use the lectures that he posts online during the quiz. There is really no reason to not pass this class. If you show up, take notes and use them on quizzes, you'll be fine.

Great knowledge of the subjects, great analogies, intriguing lectures, however, the quizzes are pretty tough even with 2 or more people together. WAY too much work for 100 lvl class. Policy report project at the end of the year is equal to a 300 level report. All in all i learned so much from this class but was my hardest class and it was a gen-ed

Gary was definitely one of my favorite professors at GVSU. He is easy to talk to and a caring professor. If you put in the work you will do well in this class. Go to his office hours, it will save you. If you have any concerns over the online quizzes and your answers, or any concerns about the lectures, just talk to him. He is very understanding.

Prof Greer was my favorite professor at Grand Valley. I'm not a BIO major and yet i was interested in the material and I found his lectures engaging and educational. If you actually want to learn something, then please take him! If you put in the work and show interest, you'll do fine!

Took him for my evolutionary capstone, he is an excellent teacher who truly knows his stuff. His lectures are engaging and I found it easy to stay focused, with many teachers my mind starts to wander from their monotonous lecturing. I highly recommend him, he asks relevant questions and made sure the class understood what he was teaching. Best prof

Gary is an extremely knowledgeable biology professor. In order to succeed in his class you'll need to attend every lecture and take notes on just about everything he says - it will all be relevant at one point or another. Aside from being lecture and note-taking heavy, Gary can be a difficult grader. Hard work will be required, however.

I had Greer for Our Evolving World, and absolutely loved him. His lectures were interesting and was very willing to work with the students on what type of exam we wanted. His assignments were never too difficult, but involved a lot of reading and videos. The material was super interesting and the research project was fun to do. Definitely recommend

He's the Bomb. com! If you have him make sure to ask him about his bear story!!!

fun professor. Had him for Our Evolving World. He's easy to listen to and his lectures are also entertaining. he expects that you're responsible and makes attendance mandatory, but outside that the class is super chill. its a bit of work but if you get it done on time you should do fine.

Professor Greer is an amazing professor. He doesn't offer extra credit and his quizzes can be difficult, but if you attend lectures and you take a visit to his office hours for clarification on things that you do not understand, you'll be fine.

Prof Greer gives lots of assignments but he is totally available to give feedback or offer help if you need it. You have to go to him because he will not reach out to you if you are struggling. He gives motivational pep-talks before each class and makes lectures fun and inspiring. I enjoyed taking his class and most likely will in the future.

Professor Greer is a very knowledgeable guy and expects the class to use technical language in homework and assignments. However, lectures are almost always class discussions on the current material and they are always very laid back. Greer is very approachable and will help in any way he can. Get your work done and you will enjoy this class

Greer is my favorite Prof. I would take him again without a doubt. Lots of online quizzes that are a little hard, but take them with a friend and you will do fine. he says there will be no EC, but he gave 15 points to attend a bio lecture. Every homework assignment and quiz is online. the only thing actually taken in the class is the final.

Greer was an amazing professor. He definitely had a heavy workload and it was hard to study because he didn't have any sort of study guide expect for the final exam review. These setbacks, tough, are completely overshadowed by his hilarious, inspirational lectures. He made introductory biology interesting- somehow. Gary's class is a must take.

Dr. Greer seriously makes biology fun. He holds interesting lectures and has a lecture packet w/ all of the pictures so you don't have to print them. The only grades in the class are quizzes and the final, which are pretty easy if you take good notes. I will note, though, to write down EVERYTHING he says bc it is fair game on quizzes.

Dr. Greer has been the most charismatic and inspirational professor I have ever had. The material can be tough and you absolutely have to pay attention. The second half of the course can be challenging as well. However if you stay on top of things you will get a lot out if this class.

I loved having professor Greer, hes one of my favorite instructors Ive ever had and would totally take him again! I felt like he was the only prof that really cared about the students during quarantine. The class was hard, but completely manageable as long as you put forth the effort. I HIGHLY recommend him!

I took General Biology II over the summer with Dr. Greer and he is the best professor I've ever had. Be prepared to work and study hard in his class. He gave us two attempts on each exam and we were tested heavily on lecture material. Some exams had extra credit which is rare in college courses. His lectures were interesting & he made learning fun.

Professor Greer is easily the best professor I have ever had! He is extremely passionate about what he teaches and always makes his lectures fun, enjoyable, and immersive so you're not just being talked at for 50 minutes straight. Teaches directly from a lecture pack he made himself and does an amazing job explaining everything! Amazing person :)

I would literally take any class if Gary Greer is teaching it. He is one of the most caring and approachable professors I've ever had. Some may disagree, but you have to show up and be engaged for this to be true. If you put in effort, he'll go above and beyond for you

Great professor. I really enjoyed both HNR 152 and HNR 154 with him. His lectures were always great. My only complaint is that the assignments outside of class took a lot of time. I had to spend more time on his class than any other.

A good professor who likes group work depending on the class. Helpful on papers and willing to answer any questions. He may rub you the wrong way at first but he cares and wants you to succeed. FYI, he does NOT like to record any lectures. I had many nice conversations with him, he likes to make connections w/ you. Work hard and show him you care

Gary is by far the best professor I have ever had. He cares deeply about both his profession and his students. He can grade a bit difficult, but is usually open for revisions or will help you with anything! 100% recommend.

Dr. Greer is awesome and makes the class fun. He expects a lot from you and is very respectable. I struggled in the beginning of this class as it is very tough, but the second half of the semester was much more lax. This is a tough class, but as long as you attend lectures and labs, it is not as challenging as it seems.

The content of the class is really interesting and the lectures are easy to follow. He does a pretty good job at breaking the content down so the students understand what he is saying. The amount of work is pretty typical. His syllabus is not always clear and has a strong interest in what he teaches.

Gary is an amazing professor and person. He cares deeply about what he teaches and his students. His class prepared me for college, and while it may be tough, it was absolutely worth my time. His lectures are great. If you don't like Gary, that's a "you" problem lol. 100/10 recommend.

Gary's class was really challenging, but I got a lot out of it. There was a lot of reading and homework, I probably spent about 4-8 hours per assignment.

One of the most loving and intelligent people I have ever met. You can tell he loves what he does and truly cares about his students. The class can be difficult at points but he provides plenty of support and will help you through.

I could never say anything that could accurately communicate how wonderful Prof. Greer is. I would take any class this man taught, regardless of the topic. He is one of the most intelligent, passionate, and articulate people I have ever met. He cares deeply and wants nothing but for the best for his students in his class and the world. 10/10
