Professor Kaiser is a great teacher, who you can tell loves his field. He is clear with instructions and you MUST need internet access for piazza.
A pretty difficult class but he teaches it well. Provides plenty of things to do to prepare for exams, including online HW, lecture videos, optional worksheets, lecture slides, etc. Exams are easier if you do all that. Labs are fun, but the notebook will take a while (don't procrastinate on that). Overall an amazing prof.
He is a great teacher
Great professor, do not skip class because there is a lab everyday. DO NOT LAG ON YOUR LAB NOTEBOOK. Study for test.
This is my second time taking his Bio-100 class, by my own fault of course. You really have to keep up with the work. It's a hybrid class so it's easy to lose track of the homework and lab notebook due times. He's a wonderful professor and it's a fun class to take :)
This class was way too hard there was a lot of activities and not enough time to do them all it was very time consuming. The professor was very nice and he gave us extra credit and more time to work on homework I got. He is very funny and kind but some students take longer to learn and me personally I thought I needed more help understanding
Dr. K is a very good teacher and is passionate about what he does. I would definitely choose him again. Just make sure you stay on top of your work and study for tests.
Very helpful to me. Was methodical which helped me learn more. Kind. Easy going. Keep phones off.
great teacher not much to complain about the notebooks can be a pain though
Kaiser was an amazing Professor very kind and funny, and actually takes the time to assist his students I would recommend the only thing that is difficult about his class is his test other than that everything is pretty straight forward.
Great professor! Gives you many ways to study for exams and is an easy grade as long as you do the work.
Dr. Kaiser is a really good teacher. He makes some of the hardest concepts seem easy. I would take him again.
For being a fast paced class I felt that I got to learn a lot. The test are difficult but if you study you will do fine. The hw, lectures, and textbooks are what the tests are based on. I would recommend you start on your lab notebook ASAP so it doesn't pile up work. He definitely is an awesome professor who cares for his students success.
He does a great job of explaining the concepts in a concise and easily understandable way. The labs are really important and the only thing that is a drag is the lab notebook. That is pretty time consuming but other than that, the homework is not too difficult.
Dr.K give great lectures, they can be long but they are insightful. I am a horrible test taker, but even with lower scores in exams I am passing the class. Stay on top of the lab notebook, it is time consuming and a big part of your grade. I would definitely take him again. If you need help outside of class he will try and be available, he's great.
Great teacher and he goes over specific items for the test which is great.
Dr.K is a great professor. I took Bio100 and all i can say is don't miss class, specially if you are enrolling for a summer class. I feel you get the most out of this class if you don't miss a day. Lectures and labs are fairly easy, it's all a matter of paying attention and not being distracted. Overall awesome and extremely knowledgeable professor
Stay on track and dont slack off.
Solid choice for an intro Bio class. Short lectures per chapter, he ties back the material to relevant current events to pinpoint why its significant. Homework and lecture guide are really all you need to get As on the tests. Hes chill and funny. Doesnt mind if you arrive late, but dont; its annoying. Overall, A fun and easy time.
He is a very good teacher and makes the classes interesting and fun. He tells a lot of his own stories about his trips. All of the classes are very engaging and fun to be in.
Definitely finds a way to make every lecture interesting. Watch additional Youtube lectures and keep up with homework/labs accordingly and you will get a good grade! I would recommend taking his class to a friend.
Great class to take. Dr K was very helpful and understanding. Home work wasnt bad at all, and if you studied and watched his lecture videos you will do fine on all tests. Took over summer and it went by so fast.
Took this class over summer. Grading was very fair. If you are a bad test taking don't worry as long as you do the homework and labs you will pass. Don't slack on the lab notebook.
Took this class over summer and it went by fast! Lectures and labs are very interesting and he makes them fun and engaging. He does give extra credit. Test are a bit hard but if you do the homework and lab notebook on time you will do fine. Definitely take this class!
Dr.K is a very great Professor. Yes his test may be difficult, but study and do your lab notebook. I recommend him to any student. I really enjoyed his class!
I enjoyed Dr. Kaisers Biology class very much! Since I took him for the 6 week summer session, there was a heavy workload, but if you stay on top of your assignments, you will be fine! He made the class very easy to understand and was very patient with all students! I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to take Biology! He is awesome!
Did a great job!
Hes a great teacher.
Professor Kaiser made biology fun and I really enjoyed him! He cares about his students and cares if youre learning the material . DEFINITELY keep up on the lab notebooks . There is homework but nothing you cant handle everything is in the book. All in all great class and awesome teacher teaching the material! Would definitely take again.
Dr. Kaiser is an awesome Professor, hes very helpful when it comes to being their for the students. His lectures are very informative and the way he cares for his students is phenomenal.
Thank you to Dr. kaiser for really caring that his students are treated equally and giving them all room to grow within. I would easily take this class again
Great guy.
Awesome
Great
The lab notebook should not be put off to the last minute or you will be rushing at the end. Gives good resources for tests and give you chances to pass the class.
If you do your work it is very easy to pass
Dr. Kaiser is a brilliant professor and his knowledge of science makes the material easy to digest. The only thing is, you must be willing to study. At least be willing to do some research. He gives you many study guides with answers as well as all the lab handouts all available from the beginning of the semester. Interactive and informative labs
He is the best teacher I have ever had. He really cares for his students and wants the best for them.
Dr. K was a great professor and very helpful and understanding. He made a hard class enjoyable and fun. He was very helpful with any questions I had. Advice: dont procrastinate the lab notebook. Keep up with lectures and homework and youll pass.
Honestly. The best professor Ive taken. And he makes learning fun and interesting.
He is a good teacher excellent teacher and is will to work with you. I would recommend him to my friend and family.
Dr. Kaiser is an awesome teacher, you have to pay attention andd keep up with lab notebook, he is a very caring, and works with you so that you know the material and wants you to pass his class.
He is a great professor. He helps you when you have questions. You have lab partners that can help you.
Pretty cool teacher, he's very nice, funny, & understanding. He will clarify any questions you may have if you ask him before or after class. Tests are difficult and very long, STUDY! Do buy the lecture slides and watch Youtube videos. Keep up with your lab notebook because it does pile up! Try not to be absent because you can easily fall behind.
Took hybrid class definitely need to attend class or you'll fall behind on labs. Lab quizzes are easy but you can't make them up. Lectures are online and review in class. He's a good teacher I enjoyed the class just be prepared to put in work.
Book was optional. I took the hybrid class so all the homework was online and easy. Labs were easy and fun and the lectures weren't long. You do have to make a lab notebook which was very time consuming but he does gives you lots of examples and walks you though it. Tests were hard but he gives you plenty of helpful resources.
Took Dr. Kaiser as BIOL-100 HYBRID. Course materials aren't mandatory, studying is HUGE! YouTube videos are extremely helpful, test are TOUGH and long. Extra credit is offered. While labs are fun, the lab entries aren't if left at last minute. Besides that, he cares about how you do in the class. He gives great feedback and has a sense of humor!
Great teacher only downfall for me was they hybrid portion but other then that would def recommend him as a professor. He really is great.!
Kaiser is a fantastic professor! He has spent a lot of time developing his lesson plan. I highly recommend taking your time the first couple of weeks, he understands a lot of the confusion that goes on and works with you if you make a mistake! My biggest recommendation is stay on your labs! Do them each week as they are done in class!
Dr. K was a great professor and very helpful and understanding. He made a hard class enjoyable and fun. He was very helpful with any questions I had. would definitely recommend to anyone looking to take bio.
Professor Kaiser was great for biology. I took the hybrid class with the lab and he made the labs fun every week! He really cares about his students and wants to see you succeed. As long as you show him that you are willing to try, he is willing to help! I definitely recommend the hybrid, most of the lectures are online.
Dr. K is a great professor who is very passionate about the things he teaches, which in turn makes the class much more enjoyable. The labs were fun to do and the lectures were intriguing. To pass, make sure you study and watch the Youtube videos. If you work hard and put in the effort, your grade will reflect that. Overall a great professor.
Dr. Kaiser was a great professor. He is very caring and very flexible. You need to be in class for you labs because participation is important. I didn't like that we had to watch long YouTube videos but it wasn't too bad. Overall, he is a great teacher, he definitely knows what he's talking about at all times.
If youre dont have experience with online classes, his class will be extremely difficult. I struggled but I enjoyed it. Highly recommend!
Honestly, just do the homework on time and watch the YouTube videos in parts and you'll do fine! There was one "group" project at the end, it was super easy - you only had to talk for like 2 to 3 minutes -, and worth 200 points. He also offers extra credit for almost each test, so take advantage of it!
If you need to take Bio 100, take Dr. Kaiser. You will NOT regret it! His grading scale is awesome. The most work you have is the lab notebook but as long as you keep up on it throughout the semester then you are solid.
Very well organized and he moves the class at an easy, understanding pace. It was a pleasure!
Mr. Kaiser was on top of teaching. On the days you go to class you start with a lecture, then a small quiz (the answers are in the packets you print out), then the group lab project. Also, there are 5 exams, which he gives you a study guide for and then some online homework. My advice is to start the lab notebook early. Overall, great class.
The class is a lot of work, but he seems to really care and will give extra credit if the class is struggling.
Hard Tests
Wonderful person, great lectures and very knowledgable but really hard!!!! Tests are really difficult
Dr.k was a good professor, very nice, and understanding. The class is a lot but as long as you take your time, youll be fine.
Dr. kaiser was a good professor, very helpful. The tests are difficult, but you'll be fine as long as you study, and take your time.
Great prof but requires you to do a lot of work. If you take the lab you will have to do 13 labs along with a lab notebook due at the end of the semester that will need to include almost every lab. Do not take if you have more than 1 hard class.
There is a lot of homework and the tests can be difficult. But if you stay focused then passing with a decent grade is very possible.
Good professor whose willing to help you on anything. However there is alot due at the end of the semester with the lab notebook
As long as you keep up with the homework, and labs youll do great . Very straight forward! Lots of fun
hes awesome
Dr. K really helps his students. The lab notebook was time consuming and homework online. It is an easy class. I took a hybrid class so most of his lectures are on youtube.
We had homework online and labs every week. We had to watch YouTube videos before lab and took a quiz about the lab each week. We also had a notebook that we put the labs in.
He was a fairly easy teacher!
I took his class this semester and he his grading score sets you up for success. Everything that is on the test is taken directly from the lecture. When he says to listen to the online lectures and study in a pattern till you remember, he means it. One last thing, do the lab notebook throughout the semester. Cramming it to the end is impossible.
Dr K is very passionate about this subject! He is easy to understand and his lectures are also available on YouTube. I took his hybrid class so there was a lot of homework online but not difficult to complete. We also had a lab notebook this is time consuming but if done throughout the semester (instead of last minute) it isnt overwhelming.
Dr k is an amazing teacher. His class is fairly easy. As long as you keep up with the lab notebook, homework, and study youll more than likely pass the class.
There are a lot of labs but theyre fun and easy. He gives us extra credit help and most homework is only for the hybrid class.
The class was very straight forward and I always knew exactly what I was doing! Aside from tests and some lab being a little difficult, the rest of the class was pretty cut and dry! I would definetly recommend coming to every class. That way you won't miss any of the labs and it will be easier to compose the lab notebook at the end of the semester!
Professor Kaiser is one of the best professors Ive taken while being at vvc his work isnt too difficult just make sure you have a printer or have access to one you need to print your lab and quizzes before every class other than that the class is straight forward come in so your stuff and you should be good and dont forget the homework
Took his BIOL 100 hybrid class for the fall. It is an easy class as long as you do not fall behind. He begins each class with a lecture and then moves on to labs. The labs are fun and most are pretty easy to do. All homework is online and you have to kinda try on it to get the A. Overall great class and amazing teacher. Would definitely take again.
He is very understanding and helpful!
He is a great teacher, definitely one of the better ones out there. The lectures can be a bit boring, but that's if you find the material interesting or not. The labs are usually pretty fun and they're a group effort. It is important to work on your lab notebook throughout the semester or you'll regret it. Overall, it was a great class.
Dr. Kaiser is a great professor and really cares about his students passing the class. He gives us as many tools and help as he can so we can do well. The lectures were kinda long and eh but the lab parts were really fun! It was one of my favorite classes I have taken.
Dr. Kaiser was really nice and very easy going! It was an easy A
Amazing teacher ! I totally recommend this class . He is such a great professor and you learn a lot from his class
A fair and helpful teacher
He is a good professor when he shows up.
Pay attention to the lectures and study and you will get an A in the class easy.
Hes great
I couldn't have asked for a better teacher. Dr. Kaiser is very understandable and is very acknowledgeable of everyone and their participation. Easy pass when you put in the effort.
Dr. Kaiser is good teacher makes the lab fun and comfortable to follow. Attendance is key for this class. Take pictures of everything, key for lab notebook.
The best biology teacher ive ver had. Easy to understand and helpful when needed
i liked how he broke down the terms , made remembering them easier , make sure you stay on top of your lab book write ups !
He is a very nice and helpful Prof. Made Bio fun
Great Professor overall. Really kind and trys to help his students as best as he can. He tends to miss class often but he calls for a sub so dont expect any class cancellations. There were 5 test around 75 questions each and pretty difficult. If do all other work you should be able to pass even if you dont do well on the tests.
Dr. K is passionate about what he teaches. He treats his students like adults and makes learning his subject fun! Wish i could take all of my science classes with him!
Dr. K is a great professor. You will learn so much from him. He is so knowledgeable. He really wants you to learn and does everything he can to help you pass the class. You do have to put effort into this class, but it does pay off.
I took him over the Fall and he was a relatively good teacher all things considered. There are no essays to write nor is it a very difficult class to pass. You have to be there for the labs, however, as it is necessary to pass. Furthermore, there is a lab notebook required at the end of the semester, do not wait until the last minute to complete it
He is a nice teacher that makes learning Biology fun! Would recommend for those who need to take a Biology class. Just make sure to do all the homework and be there for the labs.
Very knowledgable and humorous professor, makes the class interesting and relevant. He is generally lenient but a bit vague on what is required from some assignments, but answers questions readily.
Dr. Kaiser is a great teacher. This class was great, the only issue I had was his lectures were quite boring and made me tired. Other than that he is a great teacher who is very passionate about the subject he teaches. I highly recommend him. one warning I will give future students is do not fall behind on the lab notebook
really great teacher honestly, super understanding, very helpful and will always be there to help you out no matter what . This is probably my first biology teacher that I actually like . I really recommend him
He inspired me to do much better and not give up
Great Professor, make sure to keep up with the work. Im not a big fan of biology but Dr.K teaches in a way that makes learning biology fun! & DO NOT WAIT UNTIL LAST MINUTE TO DO YOUR LAB BOOK!
Professor Kaiser is a really good teacher. He works well with his students and communicates with them when you need help. He provides different resources to help with your learning style (short lectures, youtube videos, textbook, etc). If you are good at time managing your work this class will be easy for you.
Dr. K is a super cool professor. Comes off tough at first, but once he gets going hes super fun & entertaining. Lectures were never boring & his labs are actually a lot of fun. The work load isnt bad at all as long as you stay on top of it & dont be lazy. Overall, 10/10 would take Dr. K again. Hes pretty rad.
great professor would take again.
Do all the work on time
Took him over the fall semester. Dr. K is an amazing professor and really cares about his students. Hes easily accessible outside of class if you ever have any questions regarding the course. You have to be there for the labs, as you need that credit to make the lab notebook that is due at the end of the semester. Definitely do not procrastinate.
I took This class over the fall semester. Dr.K is an amazing professor and cared about his students. He is easily accessible outside of class and very responsive. Do not save anything for the last minute in this class! There is a lot of work that goes into this course, although easy, very time consuming.
He was a overall good teacher, lectures were sometimes long and boring but a very funny guy, gives you all the stuff you need to pass as far as notes.
Gives us a lot of valuable information, very precise and helpful
Good teacher really wants everyone who takes his class to pass.
Good class and professor. Do the work when it is assigned and youll be good.
Great professor overall. Show up to class study for your quizz and keep up with her lab notebook throughout the semester and you should pass.
Great professor I enjoyed his class. Hes very funny and caring as well as generous with extra credit.
Great proffer but you will need to have some self discipline to get the work done and on time.
a lenient professor who cares for his students. tough exams but an easy B class if Effort is put
Good profesor I never liked bio but he made it really interesting and fun.
He really cares about what your problems are and helps you find ways to solve them. An amazing teacher would always take his classes
Kaiser is a cool dude who teaches an interesting class. You gotta be engaged and you gotta study to pass its not an easy A. If youre someone who procrastinates and doesnt do work when its assigned shoot for another professor although as far as biology goes youll have to work hard regardless so just choose this man...
Awesome proffesor passionate you need to do your part he does great at setting you up for success
Professor Kaiser is honestly a very great teacher to have. He is caring and actually wants to help you out of your problems. A teacher I would take every semester if I could.
Great class. A lot of work. But if you stay on top of it, smooth sailings.
I really enjoyed this class and it helped me learn about so many cool things and it was interesting.
Very good teacher
Recommend
This class was difficult when first start out but once you get the hang of the flow definitely more understanding. Also study for the exams !
Professor Kaiser is super helpful when students are confused on a certain topic, through piazza you are able to ask him questions any time of the day and if he doesnt respond, most likely he will but if he doesnt you can still get help from classmates. This is one out of the many steps Kaiser takes to make sure everyone has a chance at success.
He makes sure everyone is doing the right thing and gives clear instructions. His class was actually easy, you just got to take the time to do the lab notebooks and homework.
He makes you watch a lot of videos, and then take tests out of the videos. He is a good teacher, he explains everything and helps out everyone, i do recommend him to anyone
Mr. Kaiser is a great professor. His lectures are straight forward. If you pay attention, study, and watch the YouTube videos then you will definitely pass. The labs were super fun and I learned a lot from most of them. Its good to keep updated on piazza because it helps a lot.
Great guy, he's funny and has great stories to tell. Do as he says on time to avoid stress. Very understanding and easy to work with
He is very caring. He tries to be understanding of life problems. Definitely a wonderful teacher.
This class was honestly enjoyable. This professor is very easy to get ahold of if you cant make it to class or have any questions. He gives you lots of make ups if you were not able to make it to class and some options for extra credit. The lectures werent too long so it kept it interesting and the labs were fun I would recommend this professor!
i took the hybrid class. he made the class really fun and easy. theres quizzes on the lab every week ( really easy ). his tests are hard but he gives you lots of resources. you do have to do a lab notebook but dont procrastinate on it ! the lab notebook is very tedious. overall great class
You have to watch the videos for the chapters because his lectures are not elaborate for you to get all the information that you need for the exams
I liked the lectures, they really helped with getting the point across, and he gives extra credit opportunities.
Excellent teacher! Do that work and youll pass the class! Test can be hard if you dont study or watch the YouTube videos but other than that great class with an awesome teacher!
This class was a fun experience. Each lab was always interesting and a fun way to get involved with other people and learn about biology. Definitely would recommend to people looking for a class like this
He has amazing lectures that you can look up on YouTube. He is very passionate about giving his students opportunitys to improve your average grade.
You know what is due from beginning to end . Work with you,he wants you to succeed.
Mr. Kaiser is an outstanding teacher. He gives you everything you need to learn the material. Remember to not slack off for this class or youll regret it!
The professor is very caring about everything. Some of the assignments and tests are a little hard but other than that I enjoyed his class and all the dissecting.
Do all of your Labs and complete your lab notebook . He is a great instructor. Very passionate about his work.
Dr. K is a fabulous teacher. Tests are a little challenging but nothing to hard if you study. Stay caught up on the lab notebook do not save it until the end, and do the homework.
I think he is a great professor. There is a lot of work, but he is very clear on what he wants and expects. Very workable!
Funny and will help you if you need help. Also provides a website called Piazza where you can talk to other students.
There is extra credit available. Very clear, very helpful, and really passionate about his job. A lot of studying!
Gives a lot of opportunities to gain extra credit and to pass. Made the class super enjoyable.
Dr Kaiser is an amazing Professor! I took his hybrid class and really enjoyed his teaching. I bought his lecture slides and they were amazing I never opened the textbook. The lab notebook was difficult, just dont procrastinate. Overall he made the class easy to understand and enjoyable.
This was a great teacher, i recommend him to anybody looking for a good bio teacher who will take the time to help you.
He is a great teacher that knows what he's talking about.
The class work IS going to be a lot. But he gives you ample time to complete it. If you communicate any concerns you have, he will help you out a bunch. You do have to be in class for labs, otherwise your life will be SUPER hard at the end of the semester. You definitely will pass if you stay on top of work. Not the class for procrastinating.
He is a great professor. Gives all you need to succeed, just be there pay attention, and do your labs.
Biology is a tough subject for me and I really had to work hard in this class to get a good grade. This professor is very helpful and gives you all of the resources you need to perform well. He also very helpful and wants you to do well. Overall, as long as you stay on top of your assignments and do the labs, you will be good.
Dr. K is an amazing teacher who does as much as he can to make it easier for you to pass. I would say that it is almost impossible to fail his class if you keep on going and listen to his advice. I am very glad to have taken this class with this professor I can't imagine anyone being as great as he was.
Great professor! Really learned a lot from the class.
Awesome class, need to be there for all the labs and do the work as you go DO NOT PROCRASTINATE on the lab book and homework get going asap and keep up!!!
If i were intrested in biology i would take this class with him multiple times. Has a great mindset on his topic and if i were aspiring to be a biologist, he has professional experience and thought process.
Fr. K is a really good professor. He is always there if you need help with anything. My only advice is to stay on top of your homework!! Its a really big factor in the class
I must say I hope all my biology professors are just like you Dr.K.
You wont regret taking his class! He is very clear of his expectations. If you follow through the right way it will not be as hard as you think. The effort you put in is what kind of grade youll get. I think hes a great professor and I had fun in his class.
The class is difficult but it's not because of the professor. Biology has to be dedicated a lot of time to because most of it depends on memorization
Best Biology teacher Ive ever had ! Makes biology fun and easy. Not a strict teacher at all, very fun but makes sure you get your work done on time and most importantly correctly! You have work for your grade but if youre following along with the syllabus all semester it will be easy.
Professor Kaiser is a great teacher. His lectures are very interesting, and he works with you because he wants you to succeed. I highly recommend taking him.
I was confused the entire semester due to wishy-washy instructions given. Also, learning off of videos of a monotone speaker just didn't work. I am surprised that there are so many good reviews. I am wondering if because at the end of the semester he gives extra credit on these reviews? Good or bad? Also I didn't appreciate the condescending vibe.
Best professor ever! Clear with lectures. You can tell he truly cares and enjoys his job. He has an adorable personality! A lot of repetition so you understand what is being taught. Literally do the work and you'll pass because there is quite some hw and labs but it actually helps a lot with the tests plus hw and labs are easy. Super approachable!
Dr. K was a wonderful teacher to take but unfortunately, I was not able to experience his classes in person. The lectures were straightforward and to the point, the zooms were great to go over chapters we just learned, and he was super fun all around. Dr. K immerses you into his class and he is knowledgeable of a lot of things in Biology.
Work is really easy but a lot if you procrastinate. easy grading criteria and exams are easy in the process too. just do not slack or take to long cause you will fall behind just do the work finish it and you can receive an A or high B at the end
Honestly Dr. Kaiser is one of the best professors Ive have in a long time. Everyone is lucky to have him as there professor.
Dr. K is very nice and teaches amazingly. If you want a good professor, he's the one. He is very kind and passionate about the subject he teaches and is inspirational. There is a lot of homework, but its not very hard and its quite fun. The quizzes are easy and short. The exams are timed and are quite long. Study good and you pass easily.
Taking an online Biology course for my first semester sounded scary, but Dr. Kaiser had all the material and information ready for me to easily use. Communication was great! Dr. Kaiser also used Piazza, a classroom/group chatting website that he was almost always active on, ready to give feedback, take questions, or really anything else we needed.
Dr. K is an amazing professor without a doubt. There is a lot of homework, but they are not to hard. If you don't procrastinate then it is easy, but if you do it is a lot of work to catch up. The exams are the hardest thing, but if you study hard then you pass with flying colors. I recommend him 100%.
Professor Kaiser is the "Real Deal" when it comes to biology. Working in the field he has discovered and classified several new species. He is an excellent instructor. My only gripe is that it seemed like a LOT of work for an introductory class.
Great class to be in and super easy. Material was very clear and lectures were enjoyable.
Profesor Hinrich was very thorough with the lectures. It is very important to take detailed notes, the homework is heavy. But other than that he makes the lectures interesting, so dont let the amount of work scare you. If you have any questions he replies to all of your concern through piazza and gmail. I recommend Professor Hinrich.
I was really satisfied with the way I got feedback from him in a fast manner. I always got help no matter what.
Great teaching and very motivational. Encourages students to be the best version of themselves and pushes them to the best of their ability.
Professor is really good with communication. He was very understanding. Really enjoyed the class and would take again. I also really liked his lectures.
Very clear and understanding when it comes to assignments. Easy to get help when needed and is quick to respond to questions. Great teacher!
He was a great Professor! Lectures were very well set up and explained very well. I did struggle on exam questions but would highly recommend!
Gives a lot of homework, assignments, and labs but allows entire semester to turn in work. Would not advise procrastinating but he is great with communication and feedback.
Overall this class was pretty easy. There's a lot of homework that consists of quizzes, labs, and a few other assignments but they're easy to complete and you have all semester to do them. Dr. K is also really good at communicating with his students, and responds to questions in a timely manner. Would definitely take this class again.
He does a great job at explaining the assignment that sometimes can be difficult. I struggle in science but he made it easier to do, Definitely recommend!
Gives clear and easy to understand lectures. Along with clear detail and easy to reach when you have a question outside of class.
Greatest professor I had. He listened to us if we had any problems and explained everything so clearly. Also, if we needed to contact him outside of class he'd respond so quickly! Professor Kaiser is such a reliable professor and I like his class so much I always recommend him to my friends if they need to take any bio class!!!!
Dr.K had a well thought out and amazing module set up for this course. Since this is an online course I didn't expect to retain a lot of information but the tools and programs used in sync with the course really did help me learn. I enjoyed doing the labs and didn't even mind the homework. One thing is that the assignments are very time consuming.
Easy class teaches a lot, does give last minute assignments , great teacher overall recommend his class
Though he is a good teacher his class does have a lot of work but if you stay on top of it it makes it easier for you. Don't procrastinate. His exams are kind of hard and have a lot of questions but they are not impossible. There are ways to make his class easier. Class is mandatory if you do not want to miss a lab, labs are every day.
showing up is important! one lab per week with w/write-up. online labs and quizzes but they're easy.
A very chill teacher, fair and clear about grading.
This professor is great, there is no deadline for homework so it may be turned in at any time, but don't wait too long as it does pile up. The way he teaches is straightforward as it's a lecture with a projector and sometimes writing on the board. He also goes over the lab to ensure that we do it correctly. Overall he's one of the better teachers.
Dr. K is an amazing professor! There are no deadlines, but attendance is mandatory and highly recommended, there is one lab a week and they are usually very hands on, and not something to miss. The lectures are straight forward and he is very understanding. Highly recommended for Biology 100
Overall an average Bio 100 class. Dr. K is pretty easy going, all of his lectures are easy to follow. It is easy to fall behind on HW, quizzes, and Labs because they are all turned in at your own rate but trust me follow the class schedule as closely as possible so you stay on track.
Our Biology professor is very wise and knowledgeable on all types of creatures, which is very enjoyable to learn from him, you will learn something new everyday in his class and is worth taking his Biology class. At first I didn't like Biology during high school, but turns out when I took his class I love the subject and willing to learn from him.
He is such an amazing professor he is very smart does give us a lot of homework but its pretty straight forward he makes it easy to follow. I would recommend him to others who are looking into taking a biology class.
An awesome teacher!
He is a very clear grader, very lecture heavy. If you miss class you will be behind but he doesn't take attendance. He is very clear when things are due and I would take a class with him again.
Dr. K is very kind and willing to work with students. Due dates are flexible and late work is not penalized. The textbook with access code is mandatory, as well as your computer needs to be able to run labster. Super easy to reach outside of class in case of questions, and lots of resources available for help on tests, quizzes, and labs.
He is a pretty laidback professor. I took an intro course to Biology for credit so I feel like he knew many of us in the class were there because we needed the credit. The class was planned accordingly. There was nothing too hard about the material, we just go over a lot of it. the amount of work could seem a bit daunting if you let it pile up.
I really liked how chill he was. the work load was a lot if you let it pile up, otherwise, it was fine. He is very knowledgable and leads his class with respect.
I have tremendous respect for my professor, he truly loves what he teaches. For some instructors, their job is simply a job, but for Dr.K it is his passion. He is a generous man and only wants what is best for his students.
Dr. K was a very laid-back professor. There is a lot of work but it can be turned in at any time without penalty. He will let you resubmit to get the most points and just wants students to succeed. He makes lecturing fun by adding personal stories. Overall, I really enjoyed his class and would take him again if I had the chance!
If you don't participate in class and submit assignments, then you will get dropped from course.
Going to class is a must.
This professor has no defined due dates which made my homework schedule run smoothly, although I know many of the other students got very behind because of this. This is my favorite professor so far. The class was quite difficult, but that is do to it being a science class.
This professor has no due dates which made the class run quite smoothly for me, but made others fall behind. It is up to mostly the student to succeed, but he helps them as much as he can. I would definitely take his class again.
Dr. K's hybrid class, which requires attendance, is one I would absolutely take again since he helps as much as he can. You'll want to keep focused on the weekly work and enjoy the interesting things you learn and experience along the way. Since there were no deadlines and Dr. K had an engaging teaching style; I thought the class went quite well.
This class was a fun class to take because labs were always interesting but there was a lot of work and was easy to fall behind.
I took the Hybrid class. We go in once a week do the lecture have a break then move on to lab. We have online resources including the book. Most of our homework was online and submitted through other websites. We did have to upload our lab write-ups through Canvas. Over all easy class if you watch the lecture videos and read the book.
Hybrid class consists of 1 hour lecture followed by 2-3 hour lab. The labs were interesting but the lab write-ups felt excessive. If you messed up during the lab it was hard to do a write up for it. If you stay caught up with work the class is not too difficult. I felt there was too much work per week, which is why I rated this class difficult
Professor Kaiser is an awesome teacher! There are 10 lab assignments that we worked on in class and he was always willing and ready to provide feedback or answer questions. He also uses this website called Piazza where you can ask questions and get an answer from Dr. K or another student. It is really helpful! You won't regret taking this class!
He knows what he's taking about and loves to talk about it. His enthusiasm about the subject bounces onto the students and made the class very fun. Was very informative about what was needed to be done and gives you plenty of time to do it.
I was grateful for how many materials that were provided for us throughout the semester including the website, Piazza, which Dr. K used to communicate with us outside of the classroom setting. Dr. K responded to every question the students asked within a couple minutes which I appreciated.
This class was also quite manageable in terms of workload. As long as you're diligent about attending class and completing assignments in a timely manner, you should do well. The professor was very clear about what was expected from us and provided ample resources to ensure our success.
All assignments had clear and direct instructions. If we had any questions, Dr. Kaiser provided a site called Piazza where he addressed your question within minutes. He is a very caring and informative professor. His grading criteria is very clear and he gives you the option to try again for a better grade.
Dr. K is a great professor. His assignments are clear and easy to understand. He is available at all times throughout Piazza and WhatsApp. This was my first college class, and I had such a great experience. Thank you, DR. K.
Dr.K is really chill but shows that he cares about how you do in the class. He does give a quite a bit of homework which is spread out into online labs, lab write ups, and LEC homework, but he has no late work policy so it can be turned in at any time. Not a difficult professor and very easy to get along with
I love Dr.K, he is an amazing professor he explains everything with detail and doesn't have a deadline which means that you are able to turn in everything when the semester ends. I just really like Dr.K that I will be taking Bio-107 next semester with him.
Professor is very understanding and always willing to help students
he is very lenient with late work with no late policy
A lot of work online including homework, labs, and lab reports. Overall, good teacher and interesting/ fun hybrid class
Professor Kaiser is a great biology teacher. I took his hybrid class in the fall, as long as you don't have another science class or maybe an english class you should do great. There is a lot of work, weekly quizzes, homework, labs, lab submissions, 5 exams, 1 presentation. It is not impossible though, and many people do well. Good Luck!
There is a lot of homework to do, overall he is a good professor but the amount of activities you have to do is insane
Professor K is very flexible and understanding. He's good with answering questions. There's a lot of work to do such as exams, quizzes, a few discussion boards, lab write ups, labsters, the actual homework (my mastering bio), and a presentation. It's not hard to do if you stay caught up and hold yourself accountable for your work. Good luck!
I took his hibrid biology class in the spring and it was a fun experience. We do hands on labs in class and weekly hw and quizzes online. It was a heavy work load but Dr. K is understanding and doesn't give late penalties for any assignments. Overall he is a great professor and keeps his class fun and interesting.
Dr.K is a wonderful professor who was very helpful and really cares about his students' learning outcomes. He has no due dates for all assignments but WARNING!!! if you let the work pile up it will pile up but everything is doable as long as you work as you go. I recommend doing the lab reports as soon as you're done with the lab in class as well.
Dr. Kaiser's is very neat and informative but beware he is takes all of this very seriously. He treats his students like scientists and while this is good if this is your field study, I am an art major so it was more difficult for me. Overall the class is fun but tough, Dr. Kaiser really cares for his class and students. Good class!
This professor was great overall pretty easy didn't give penalties for late work made class really interesting.
Professor Kaiser is very helpful and gives informative lectures! Lab write ups are pretty tedious to complete but as long as you show up for class you should have an easier time completing them.
He will work with you as long as you communicate with him. Keep up with your work or it will pile up.
Do not procrastinate til the end to finish your work. Very easy class if you keep up. I had an amazing set of ladies I sat with in class and we helped eachother through the course.
Honestly, I loved this class very much. I did procrastinate on a lot of the work and exams since there's no late penalty, but that's all on me. If you fall behind by one week, try your hardest to catch back up as soon as you can!! Other than that, his lectures were very fun and informative.
Professor Kaiser was great overall and didn't give penalties for late work which made things easier to manage if you have other things to do. Lots of work, but grades fair.
There were a few difficulties, like him thinking people were attacking him and his teaching by asking simple questions to confusing situations. An issue of taking points away for "not submitting something" even though there are no due dates. However he is passionate about his work which makes for a great learning experience. Lots of work though
I took this class in six weeks, so tons of homework, but it's super easy. You get three tries for everything except the exams and the best thing is that he is really chill about late submissions, so you can work at your own speed. There are 5 lab write-ups, but don't stress they're super simple. The work's manageable and I had a good time.
He is a great professor. I loved taking his online course, he allows late work to be turned in without penalty. Decent amount of work was given but it was very easy.
Dr. Kaiser was the best professor I have taken thus far and I am so glad that I had the privilege of taking his class. He does give extra credit and he will take the time to carefully explain the information in detail to you if you need it. Just keep on top of your assignments and you will be set for his class.
Did not like his vibe, and assignments were very boring and unnecessary.
I highly recommend this professor. Some of his requirements are inconvenient but doable. My course was hybrid, so 90% was online. He is available outside of class. His in-class video quizzes are not disability-friendly and does not give enough time to get scantrons. He also does not give enough notice for these quizzes to be scheduled with ACCESS.
Dr. Kaiser is one of the best professors I've had. His lectures can be long but they're very helpful as he's very thorough. He has a lot of character and I'd say he's pretty easy to work with. Classes were usually very lab and lecture-heavy, and on top of that there was a bit of homework: lab write-ups, online labs, etc. Good professor!
Took BIO 100 in Fall of 23 it was a fairly easy class, homework, quizzes, and exams were all based on his lectures and textbook also all work(excluding exams) were due by the end of the semester. He is very understanding just talk to him. Lecture and lab HEAVY!!
He summarized his lectures for us in class despite it being a hybrid class. Lectures were digestible: YouTube videos with slides. We were allowed retakes & unlimited amount of time to complete assignments (DONT save it all for the end!) He answers any questions within 10 minutes of emailing, but ALWAYS read directions and/or syllabus before asking.
Professor K was amazing. He allows you to resubmit the work as many times as you need to get it correct within reason. He is focused on you learning the concepts and if you need him to break something down he will. He is a person that is passionate about teaching and you can tell when you take his class.
Dr. K was one of my favorite teachers. The class truly depends on how much effort you want to put in. There is no late work so you can turn in assignments at any time, but make sure not to let them pile up. For almost everything except the exams after every few chapters, you can turn it in as many times as you'd for full credit.
Great professor! He makes everything very simple and also has an app where you can ask him questions and he gets back to you quickly.
Really enjoyed the class, but try to keep up on the work load or it pile and it just gets harder to catch up.
Pretty easy course over all
Overall he is a easy teacher just has a lot of work and starts to become overwhelming and complicated if you get lost
Class was overall enjoyable
I took Dr. K both online and in person. I really liked that he would do a little review for us at the beginning of each class. We would do all our work at home so that review would help bring everything together. I really liked that everything was at your own peace. He was really understanding and was really helpful. definitely recommend!
This class is pretty cool and the labs are fun! He gives a lot of homework, but if you are missing something from the homework, he will tell you so you don't miss out on any points.
There's a lot of work but its manageable if you do everything on time. I enjoyed the labs and there was a presentation towards the end of class that was fun to do.
He was an awesome professor. I was in the hybrid course and although it did consist of a lot of work, it was easy to do. The labs were pretty fun. It was a 3 hour class and it flew. Would take this professor again if I had to take another science course.
The class has a decent workload, but if you stay on top of it, you can do well. The labs are enjoyable, and the professor provides helpful reviews to tie everything together. Overall, an engaging course with an understanding instructor.
The class is manageable with some effort. The labs are fun, and the professor is helpful. For study prep, try using unstuckstudy AI along with the free textbook.
Dr. K was a really great teacher! Lots of assignments, but easy once they're actually started. Values attendance, so try to show up on time. Allows assignments to be attempted more than once, and leaves comments to help you get a higher score! Definitely one of the smoothest classes I've taken during my time here.
Prof. K. is great at what he does - incredible at lecturing (his analogies help) - charges for his lecture slides (optional & also feat. in his YT vids) Late work's accepted Labs are done in groups Reach out when confused Communication is facilitated Just do your work, it's not difficult If it is, don't be afraid to ask for help
I'd take a class from Dr.K any time! He was my absolute favorite this semester. He has such a passion for biology and what he does and you can tell by the way he teaches and cares for his students. He is very easy and quick to reach. He uses piazza to communicate the quickest and is really efficient in doing so. Stay on track and you'll be good!
I took a 6week course. I maintained an A throughout, lots of lecture videos and questions on mastering biology (required $110) and labs. Roughly 2 lectures and two labs every couple of days with four lab write ups (very difficult). And 5 exams (worth about 70-80 points and questions) there are no late penalties. no lock down browser. Much homework
He assigned 14 assignments on the first day of school, all due within less than a week. He requires you to submit a photo of yourself holding your student ID in front of a clock after every quiz, exam, and some assignments. This class requires a lot of math and all the assignments are very long and time-consuming
Dr. K was decent, but had SO MUCH WORK. I have high school and many college classes at once and he posts about 8 assignments a week. The lab writeups were so confusing so I never did them.
Dr. K is an amazing professor! His work is not hard if you stay consistent and organized. His labs are very hands on and fun. He is always there to assist and wants you to succeed!
Amazing teacher would have him again. All I would say for his class is do the work and you'll be fine.
Dr K is a great professor. He answers emails/messages super quickly (within an hour even on weekends) and explains everything thoroughly and well! My one complaint is he assigns A LOT of work. I'm talking, almost 100 assignments for a 16 week course. But there's no late penalties and he's very understanding. So do the work and you'll do well!
In class we do labs and they were fun to do. There is a LOT of homework/assignments but it is pretty manageable especially because he allows late work to be turned in with no penalty. There is no textbook but I recommend getting the book so you won't have to write down the notes that are already in the book. And presentation at the end of semester
Dr.K is a very good teacher. I learned a lot from him and respected the way he ran his class.
Has lots of homework but should be easy if you show up to class. He allows you to turn in late work for full points, just don't let it pile up and you'll be fine.
Allows you to turn in late work for full credit and also gives feedback on what you did wrong, allowing you to turn corrected assignment.
Professor Kaiser was excellent. He gives you the whole semester to do your work with no due dates except for the very end. He teaches well and is able to relate information simply.
Professor Kaiser is very clear in what he teaches. He is very forgiving and gives you to the end of the semester to complete all your stuff. Would take again.
Dr. K was a very good teacher. You're able to use your resources and he gives clear criticism. One of the easiest professors I've had and would definitely take his class again.
He really helps you understand what is required. Teaches really well. Gives you to the end of the semester to complete all your homework. Tests are pretty easy.
He was excellent at explaining the material. His labs were very fun. He gives you to the end of the semester to finish homework. Very understanding. Would take him again!
Great teacher, you just have to keep up with Turing in labs on time
Dr K is really good at explaining labs well, he is knowledgeable about Biology. He works well with your schedule and is readily available to assist you.
Dr K is really good at giving advice on what to do. He knows a lot about biology and science in general. He works great with your schedule.
great teacher, just keep up with your assignments and you'll be good
Attendance is needed to do the labs with your group, a subscription to Pearson's E-textbook is also needed for the online assignments. Other than that, kaiser is a great teacher and is easy to reach on piazza and outlook. I really enjoyed the labs, especially the dissection labs near the end of the semester.
Be prepared to do a lot of work, in the beginning it may seem overwhelming but it gets easier within the first month. Labs become easier as time passes, overall a good professor. I enjoyed this class.
Very good professor, I enjoyed the labs. be prepared to do lab reports and a decent amount of homework and 5 lab exams. Overall pretty good class just lots of work.
Dr. K is a kind, easygoing professor. He makes the workload clear, and allows room for questions, and is more than happy to help.
amazing professor! lots of work but very easy
There is a lot of work to do. Very tedious at times. For the most part east homework assignments. If you don't get a good score, you can do it again without late penalties. I suggest getting the lecture workbook to save time on writing down the entire lectures. Dr. K is really easy going, he wants everyone to succeed. Just do the work and show up.
I want other student to know about this professor is that he is a very amazing professor and it's a very easy class if you do the work you will pass, and his test are very easy, so you won't have to stress that much and there is group work but it's fun to work with other people. so, I do recommend by taking his class it's fun and a very easy class.
He is a very amazing professor if you do the work you will pass, and his test are very easy, so you don't have to worry that much but his class is very easy I highly recommend you take his class it's fun and easy.
He is a great professor, as he has extensive knowledge about the subject at hand. This class is manageable, lots of homework, you have to pay $100 for the Pearson website (for homework), lots of lab submissions, and quizzes every week. It can be a lot at times, but he allows late submissions until the last day of class without penalty.
Professor Kaiser is a great choice for taking a BIO-100 class. I do not regret taking his class! We had labs, lab write-ups, homework, quizzes, and exams. Even if there was a lot of work, he extended all of the deadlines for all assignments until the end of the semester. Overall, he is a great teacher and does care about the students!
I really like this teacher I would like to take another class with him.
Dr.K was awesome. Had him for his spring hybrid class, and it was so easy. He wasn't strict abt late work at all, and he gave you multiple chances to resubmit things to get a better grade. Because it was a hybrid class, meaning we met once a week, it's best to show up, or you'd get really behind and the textbook and all of the homework is online
Very smart and understanding professor, truly understands the field he teaches and provides many opportunities to succeed. Uses a few external programs but they are easily understood. If doing an in person class make sure you show up. Very fair when it comes to grading and opportunities, would highly recommend.
He teaches the material well, but this the hybrid class consists of lots of homework and virtual labs + written ones. If you stay on pace, you will be fine. He doesn't deduct points on late work, but said he might change this. No essays, just a few exams from home and the final, which is three parts in person. Uses scantrons and print a lot.
Dr. K was a great teacher this semester. I enjoyed his class. I will say LOTS OF WORK!!! but he lets you turn things in late which is very good. Lab write ups, Labsters, Pearson (you need to buy the book its $100!!!), quizzes and exams. Plus in person labs and quizzes. He lets you pre-answer the questions for in person quizzes ahead of time.
Good professor
The class had a lot of work but he was a good professor
Dr. Kaiser was a very easy going professor and he walks you through the lab before beginning it so you know exactly what to do rather than trying to navigate it blindly using the lab printouts. Make sure you print out everything you need at least the day or two days before class.
Dr. K's 6-week online class was long but worth it. He gives thorough information and answers questions within 12-24 hours. Lots of work and note-taking, but it was very fun to learn general Bio from him. Would definitely take his class again.
Not too difficult there's just a lot of bulk assignments that he gives out. Very accessible outside lectures and he's very lenient on late assignments. Overall challenging due to a lot of assignments but nothing too crazy if you stay on top of it.
Professor Keiser was great! His class has a lot of homework but it is worth it You can tell he really cares about his students and is passionate about what he does. He is there to help you learn and understand. We used the Piazza, which is incredibly helpful when you have similar questions about assignments. He responds lightening fast to questions
Dr. K is such an amazing teacher. I did only get to see him once a week because I took a hybrid course but I the days I did see him I really enjoyed his presence and his material. His labs are pretty straightforward and easy for the most part and take up most of your credit for the class. He takes late work but be careful for procrastination.
Dr. K is super lenient and will allow for late papers so take advantage of that. You can't miss class more than 3 times and even though there is a lot of assignments, he will give you enough time and good feedback for it. He is very knowledge and busy but he made the labs easy to understand and follow. Definitely take his class you won't regret it!
