This guy is cute.....hey....hes young atleast.

very good professor

he is so cute. Oh my god he is hot

Good pro. Take it

much better than amir

Bender makes bio fun! In addition, he is very helpful and is willing to help his students whenever possible! Absolutely recommend him!!

Not a bad teacher, but its a pretty tough class. His tests are very hard and he seems to randomly place emphasis on a single chapter during the test (test might be on Chp 1-5, but half the questions are on, say, Chp 4). Labs were fun and hes funny.

You have to work for your grade, but he is very helpful and recognizes when effort is being made and when it is not. Have to study hard, but he is great and so is his class.

Makes biology very interesting. Always helpful. Takes the time to explain any concept you are having trouble grasping. Lectures are interesting, fun, and fast paced.

it was easy. cool guy. he likes it if you tell jokes

you need to put in a lot of work to pass his class

great teacher! looks like David Spade! pretty funny, very nice!

Never had him for a class, but wow he's a hot!

So i was not the best at this course but he went way above and beyond to help me attept to pass his class. i ended up dropping but not due to his teaching. he is very helpful and understanding and will not fail you if you are trying.

He's very nice. He went out of his way to let me pass this class. Sometimes he wasn't very helpful when I had a question but he was always willing to answer questions. His exams are harder than you'd expect.

He is a good teacher. He actually cares if u are failing and he tries to help and take time to talk to u.

Loved his class! And I'm planning on taking him again.

Alright of course no one's gonna have great things to say about a bio course, they are hard classes but Mr. Bender makes the class bearable. His tests aren't nearly as bad as you expect and he's fair and helpful. His lectures go quick and you have to keep up with your studying. If you put work in you can do fine. Yeah and he's hot.

He's cool...I recommend him over any of the other teachers.

Definitly a good teacher. I was struggling in the class, and he helped me out a lot. He definitly moves quickly, but if you are willing to study and keep up, you'll do fine.

i have take Mr. Bender and i must say that he is a wonderful professor. he is very helpful and in questions, he really tries to clarify things out. take him anytime. wish he taught Physio.

he is a wonderfulll instructor. i realli enjoyed taking his class. i've heard this class is hard but he does a great job with his powerpoint notes and explains everything well.. he takes the time to explain it all n is helpful ifu ask em.. he tries to crack jokes n even tho sometimes they're not funny, hes so cute that u cant help but enjoy em!

Very good lecture teacher. (I had someone else for lab) His powerpoint notes were thorough and while the tests were a little difficult, they weren't too bad.

he is very helpful to the students and the class is not boring. i love the lab sessions...very interesting.

Mr Bender is very helpful and dedicated professor. Focus on his lecture notes, do good in labs and you'll do just fine.. Trust me! He's the best. Highly recommended..

he is a cool professor..he is very into his subject...you just have to study his notes very well and read the book...his labs are hard, but you just need to study like 2 hrs a night in order to get an a

He's a very good teacher... you just have to study. His lecture is very informative, he will help you if you just ask and just try to study and you will get a good grade.

he's a nice, helpful professor. his lecture notes has ALOT of tidbits that you need to know, so it's a little difficult. the lab practicals aren't too hard, but you can't ask him any questions nor will he let you go back to ones you're unsure of.take advantage to ask questions. he will help.

very clear on his lecture, funny and cute.. but his exam is VERY VERY VERY HARD..

EXTREMELY helpful,patient,CLEAR as to what he wants and how he wants it,ORGANIZED,to the point,funny(at least he thinks he is haha) and tries to not offend u when you give a wrong answer outloud.I was petrified of microscopes..thanks MR.Bender!!Just stick to his notes and use the book for reference.Study and you'll be OK! Labs are easssssy too!

For the people who say his tests are hard,they must have not taken any other sciences yet because his tests were the EASIEST out of all of my other science pre req classes!Super easy if you study the lec. notes well...not wait til the day before!

Mr. Bender is wonderful. I got an A in his class last semester 07. My best advice to you all is study the review sheet's and the powerpoint along with lecture's. Also take advantage of the Math and Science lab they have great microscopy's to study from and bring your own slide boxes. It will help you out a lot when it comes time for lab practical.

he is the coolest and the best in micrology. i took this class along with another biology and therefore could not devote a lot of time to this subject, but still i got an A. Prof. is very good, doesnt give extra credit though but if u have a head, then u dont need extra credit esp if u r a nursing student. his exams r frm powerpt. notes. book helps

take him...i had him for spring'08...he is awesome and the best. he makes sure that each student is getting the topic...he will give wonderful examples, explain details...labs r fun and easy..but hey u've gotta behave. its not a party but its not as hard as anatomy.u cannot get an A unless u study side by side.Mr. Bender makes the job easier for u

ok the person below ....must be not serious coz Mr. Bender is the best. he literally spoon feeds u the info...and still if u cant fair good in his easy exams and get a good grade...then choose a different major coz micro22 is the easiest of the 3 biologies u need in the prerequisites for nursing..gud luck in the other 2 ...this one was easy..i got

I TOOK MR. BENDER THIS SPRING 08 AND HAD A BLAST. WAY EASIER THAN PHYSIO ANYDAY. I GOT AN A IN THE CLASS AND I WORKED HARD AND STUDIED HARD TO GET IT. BENDER WAS REAL COOL! ANYONE CAN GET AN A IN THIS CLASS IF YOU DO THE WORK. HE EXPLAINS EVERYTHING IN A WAY WHERE IT MAKES SENSE AND IT STICKS. AFTER THIS CLASS YOU'LL ALWAYS WSH YOUR HANDS.

Mr. Bender is the best!!!! Sure the class is hard, because it's a tough subject...but Bender's the best teacher to take. His exams are strictly off of the lectures, and the book is mainly used to look over materials. I don't know why people have a hard time with this class...the RN program is much much harder!!! Mr. Bender is a great teacher!

Mr. Bender is hot and smart. He has a corny sense of humor, but it just adds to his adorableness and lightens the mood a bit. He is not hard, but just try not to take micro and physio together. I did that, and I ended up taking micro for granted because of it. Just be really nice and ask a lot of questions;]

He is really helpful, very picky. Most of lecture you will understand but when test comes it doesnt match powerpoint lectures and study guides are waste of time. Really great guy but needs to be less picky, we are all going to transfer to University we arent in one just yet. He expects you to be at a University level when taking his tests.

I can't believe what people are saying about Mr. Bender. I mean the class itself is kind of hard, but he explains everything so well, he makes it easy. Just study the power point, everyting on the test is in there. My advice is try to learn and not memorize, as most of the test questions are clinical and conceptual.

Bender is a very good teacher dont listen to these other fools. Take him for bio.1 bio.3 and micro! He will prepare you for further studies in the bio. sciences.

Great guy and fun class. You can tell that he really enjoys teaching and really enjoys plants. His tests are based on his power point lectures. I studied the night before and got an A on the tests. If you are a slow learner, just review everyday. Oh and the field trip kicks ass.

Professor Bender is responsible, fair and understanding. He makes his class very interesting and enjoyable. His lectures, powerpoints and study guides are very helpful in prepearing students for the exams. If you're taking his class, keep in mind that he doesn't respond well to whining. So, keep it to a minimun if you can't help yourself.

Mr. Bender is a great teacher. He provides lots of information. Very interersting lecture. I learn a lots in this class. His test if very difficult but if you study his lecture and powerpoint, you will be fine. Don't try to memorize it, really need to know.

i am currently enrolled in his 6-week crash micro course and whoa nelly! be ready to be a real student. no short cuts here, however, you will learn if you want to. i think he believes in his students and actually wants you to know this stuff. This is a very important class and needs to be taken seriously. "what does not kill us, makes us stranger".

HE IS REALLY A HELPFUL TEACHE AND WANTS YOU UNDERSTAND AND LEAR AND NOT JUST CRAM THINGS

Very tough class. The hardest class I have ever taken! Lab is hard too. Never miss a class. WARNING: DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS WITH ANY OTHER CLASSES!!!! This class will consume every waking moment of your life & if you don't dedicate @ least 20 hrs a week to study u won't pass. This is the only class I took & I don't work. U must work hard!

Just because he doesn't spoon feed you guys the information, doesn't mean that he is a horrible teacher. I agree that study guides are useless, but his lectures are right on the money. Labs points are gravy. He will help you if you are willing to put in the effort. Carefully read power points and then expand those power points topic in the book.

i like his class a lot. he is very helpfull and dedicated teacher. he demands hard work. i recommend him to everyone interested in micro.

Class wasn't as hard as Itaya! Go to class everyday, study lecture and you should get an A. Lots of dumb people at Delta who waste time and space trying to do these science classes in hopes of transfering or getting into the nursing program. If you are a real student, you will enjoy and learn from Bender's class with some effort. form a study grou

Take Mr. Bender.Very helpful instructor.If you put in the effort and time you will do fine.Digitally record/attend the lectures, study the powerpoints and supplement with the book.You need to understand the concepts not just memorize the facts.All of the science classes take effort and time, but if you are disciplined you will do well.

His courses may be more difficult than other teachers, but you learn so much from him. Study hard and ask questions! He is willing to help those who are truly willing to learn.

I am currently taking his 6 week course. It is very dense! But he is a great lecturer. The topics are not bring. You have to do a lot work though. And he is extremely hot!! It is so hard to concentrate sometimes! umm, umm, ummmmmmm!!

Bender was no joke. He wanted you to love Micro. it is very interesting. if you put in the effort your will succeed. He is very approachable and is willing to stay after lecture or lab to assist. He also has office hours. If you don't know ask. I got a B but I had to study. SI is helpful. He is funny and loves to talk about BEER!!

As long as you study and go to lecture you will do fine. He appreciates it when students participates in the class, and sure the material is hard but he tries to make it interesting. He's very nice and easy to talk to! Highly recommend.

Cool teacher. Dont study the book only the slides.

Good teacher, read the text and study the slides. Don't skip the lecture or labs and you will do well

people say hes really hard, but i think hes awesome. if you do all your labs and attend lecture you'll do fine. He provides all material to do well. Really helpful to print out powerpoints prior to class. Hes really smart in his subject and makes it as interesting as possible, considering the subject.hes super goofy.I give him 5 stars(for micro :/)

I had him for the first 3 weeks of summer school. Compared to Hewette he's 5 times better! Granted its a tough subject, he explains everything well and involves the class to try to make micro interesting. His slides are very informative and serve as an outline for what will end up on the test. He tells you what you need to know. EXCELLENT for micro

STUDY the slides the book is to go back and get a definition or read a little extra on the subject or if you dont understand something in the slides. His a cool teacher.

I really liked Mr. Bender he is a great teacher but I just couldn't understand his test questions did vert well in lab by not so well on the lecture exams

Bender is a really good teacher. He really tries to get the class involved, and he also tries to make micro interesting. If you want to pass the class you have to put in a LOT of studying. Study the slides and use the book to give better clarity for things you don't understand. He recommended putting the slides in your own words which really helps.

Very difficult class. He is a good teacher he is very clear in the subject but you really have to spend hours a day studying if you want to even think about passing. You cant take another core course and have a job when taking this class.

Professor Bender was fabulous. I really enjoyed him, his teaching, and the class in general. He always tried to keep it entertaining and interesting. I highly highly recommend him. I'm just your average student academically, but I studied a lot and tried really hard. Super nice guy and great teacher.

This class is tough requires a lot of studying. For lecture study book and power point notes to be able to get decent grade in lecture exams.lab is interesting and lab test are not difficult.If am an average student and was able to pass this class with A just put the right time to study. Overall good class,cool teacher

You might of heard that Dr. Bender is an EASY professor, but it doesn't mean the class is a breeze. In order to make this course easy on yourself is to study hard! His tests are fair, what you are taught is what you are tested on. Overall Bender is a good professor. Take him! How to study : Study the power pts and add your own notes..I got a B.

Mr. Bender i think is a really good professor. he made me really interested in the subject. i had him the first 3 weeks of summer. pay attention and record lectures. his essay portion of his exams are based on what has been discussed in lecture. study the powerpoints and use book for clarity. exam questions are fair.

He is an awesome person with a great personality. Very approachable. Will help you out as much as he knows how to. The class is extremely difficult though. Must be prepared to dedicate a lot of time in order to receive a decent grade.

Very approachable and helpful just talk to him. Be a self organizer. Must study many hours outside out class. Attending SI very helpful. Must be an independent worker in the labs with little directions. Power points are VERY IMPORTANT to study from tests.

Bender is a good professor. Yes, the class is difficult but surely if you put in the time to understand the material you won't go wrong. If you have any questions he's always willing to answer and help you figure out the problem. ASK QUESTIONS! You can't help yourself if your not willing to ask for HELP from others! His Tests can be very specific!

I took Mr. Bender for Micro and I must say, this was my favorite class. Go to lecture! His powerpoints are vague .. on purpose. Take notes on what he lectures + what's in the book and you'll do good on the exams. For the lab practicals study your lab worksheets and you'll be fine. Extra credit opportunites. I received an A.

One of the best professors I've ever had. I really liked him. He's an awesome teacher but this class is tough and he makes you work for your grade. I got an F my first exam & changed my studying habits & received a B in the class. I worked hard and studied power points with the book and made my own notes. Your get what you work for. Work hard.

Professor Bender well prepares students for each exam by thoroughly explaining material that will be on tests before hand. DON'T SKIP lecture (it covers mostly everything on tests)! 90% of lab can be finished IN lab (if you don't slack). He's really funny and makes the hardest concepts easy to understand and is respectful towards ALL students.

Bender is probably the best teacher I've had at Delta, & that's saying a lot considering science isn't my best subject at all. You NEED to attend lecture to pass this class. You can say you're going to skip & read the book to catch up, but you won't get a good grade if you do that. He's very straightforward & easy to understand. Very helpful.

I love professor Bender, he is simple and to the point. His lectures outline only what you should be reading and studying for, do not expect to do well if you don't read. Labs are fun and quizzes are easy, do all the extra credit opportunities! Prepares you for upper division science classes at the CSU and UC level. Read exam questions carefully

Bender is an amazing teacher, although his lectures are a little difficult to follow, but if you are prepared, it's not very hard. He's a very helpful, but you have to know your stuffs.

Professor Bender is a great teacher. There is a lot of material to cover, so be sure to read you book before lecture.

Professor Bender is a great professor. He is an easygoing person who helps you out if you need help and ask for it. The material is tough but as long as you read and ask for help if needed you are set. He is very clear about what he might test you on so you have a good idea of what to study since he essentially tells you.

Great teacher!! Highly recommend. Very easy going. answers all your questions, I'm going to miss this class.

I LOVE THIS CLASS!!! Professor Bender is so awesome! he is super helpful and want to see his students do well. He makes class very fun and interesting. Go to class, read, and ask questions. Watch his every move, because he'll give little hints here and there to let you know what you need to know for the exam. Highly recommended!

Professor Bender was amazing! I really enjoyed the class! I would certainly recommend him for anyone wanting/needing to take Microbiology. You'll definitely learn so much!

You need to go to class, lecture you can miss a day, but lab is where you can't make anything up. You should study as soon as you can, the test weren't too hard, but you need to go over the power points and the little group activities that happen. Get a study group, he'll have tutors who took him available too. Its a interesting class, overall.

I absolutely love Professor Bender and highly recommend him for Medical Microbiology or any of the other subjects he teaches. He is funny and very straight-foraward.

Professor Bender in my opinion was a great teacher. He gives a lot of information but its all useful. Be prepared to go to the learning center and study outside of class. Form a strong study group. His lectures arent something to miss as many things appear on tests and quizzes. Ask good questions when you can and listen to the questions of others

I've taken Bender before w/ Med Micro & I liked him, even though people kept saying he was bad. I like to base my opinion on experience & Bender is a great teacher. College is mostly self-taught anyways. Just follow with the PP and remember what he says. Ask him questions, all of them, if you are confused ask him, ask your classmates. Its not hard

Pretty nice guy. His labs and lab quizzes are incredibly simple and quite fun, just as long as you prepare. Studying for his lecture exams are very difficult, I would say that he definitely isn't the best lecturer. I often found myself confused during them along with most of the class. He has resources available on docushare, but not very helpful.

As a nursing major BIO 22 was by far my most favorite course. Mainly because Professor Bender is a really good teacher. He pretty much outlines everything you need to know in his powerpoint for lectures. And for lab he has you do pre-lab questions which help out for lab practical. I highly recommend professor Bender.

Im so glad I took him. Hes a very great teacher and is more than happy to answer concerns & questions. I learned a lot in his class and it also helped me find a study technique that works for me. If you study, youll pass. Repetition is everything. Wish I took him for anatomy. Exam questions are literally taken from the PowerPoint. He offers EC

Professor Bender is not a good lecturer but everything on the test is from your slides that he gives to you. I recommended typing on the slides while he is lecturing instead of writing notes in a text book because he goes to fast. Make sure you study on your own time and go over every model every time you go into class. Lab tests are very easy.

Wants you to do the best you can. You need to study off the lecture and study guides, many questions were in exams. Listen to his lectures because I did and was able to find out the essay question topic that way. He answers the question unless its time for the bioenterics paper then use your atlas and other students for help.

Besides being an awesome Professor, during lab sessions, he likes to listen to music which for me is excellent it make learning fun. Professor Bender does care about his students and wants to see his students succeed, he won't hold your hand and babysit, he expects you to be a mature honest adult with accountability and responsibility traits,study

If you're new to biology, haven't taken a bio class since HS, its gonna be tough. Bender 's lectures is basically the test, Record his lectures, study them. This doesn't mean skip reading, because reading helps answering questions on the Power points that he would occasionally throw. As long you print lectures, get terms, and STUDY, u be at a Bavg

This class was fun! Bender cares and wants you to do your best because you never know what you'll get in the end. If he's repeated a certain topic multiple times, just know that that's going to be on the exam! Study his powerpoints and refer to textbook if anything! I recommend; he's awesome.

Prof Bender is clear about what to study. His lecture tests/lab practicals are strictly based off HIS lecture notes/the lists of structures he gives you! You don't go in to the exams blinded, with unexpected questions. And, if you do bad on a couple exams, there is plenty of online work & quizzes that counteract for it. Takes work, but doable!

I recommend reading the textbook because the information in there will help you understand his lectures and some of his test questions come from there. You just need to read the paragraphs that relate to his slides and what he mentions in class. Labs are easy to get full points on. Most quizzes come from pre-lab questions. 15 points extra credit.

I loved taking professor bender for micro and anatomy, he was extremely understanding and helpful during this pandemic. Tests are based off of lectures, not much from the book, but I would still read textbook chapters to grasp the overall concept. Do your work, show interest, ask questions!

He is really easy Im surprised this is a college course. Gives extra credit and gives you all of the answers to the pop quizzes. He doesnt challenge his students and gives them the answers. Take if you want an easy A.

Professor Bender in my opinion is a great professor, I took him for both Anatomy and Microbiology and I pass both with a B. Read for LAB and I assure you that the Lab packets are easy to do and get full credit for them. Go to tutoring, ask for help! Do the work and show that you are there to learn. Be creative with the assignments that he assigns.

His grading system is more focused on the tests, the lecture test are wort a lot so you have to really focus on the lecture notes and the lab notes. Lab experiments will be use for the lab practical test, and the lecture video is used for the lecture test. His lecture tests are based on his lecture video get good notes on those, study it hard.

Take Bender if you don't want to study and get good grades because he gives lots of extra credit an very few tests, everything is based on homework that you dont even have to turn in. You will love this Bio class. Super easy. This post is for those not trying to learn too much and want top scores through diffusion. You can thank me later!

Prof. Bender is a great professor! He gives some quizzes which have questions straight from the lab packets. DONT MISS OUT ON THESE EASY POINTS! Lab packets are straightforward. Ask questions if you are stuck. His exams are based off PPT slides. I didnt use the TB as much but def useful to grasp overall concept. Put in the work and youll pass!

The labs are straight forward/fun. There's a lot to learn but he lets you pick it up at your own pace, just be sure to cover the necessary chapters prior to the exam! Each exam covers about 4-5 chapters, 50 questions + an essay question. Try your best and you will succeed! I made Quizlets to help (@amberrjonessss)!

Professor Bender is specific. That being said , the Quizzes that are worth 5 points are easy points but he docks you for little details so be precise. Lectures are worth majority of your grade ,, study hard and take good notes. Found that the study guide didnt really help for tests. Take the extra credit opportunities if needed. Didnt use txtbook

The class really wasn't that bad. His tests are based 100% off of lecture, so if you study his power points you will be fine. I found the textbook helpful in understanding processes more, but it wasn't really used for tests. Anatomy is a hard class, so you HAVE to put the time into it. Do the work and you'll be okay!

The class is organized.All expectations are in the syllabus.Atlas and textbook are used weekly for labs. No Late work accepted.Lectures are recorded on zoom so you can work at your own pace. Prof Bender was available to answer all my questions. You must have time available in your life to dedicate to this class to be successful. Great professsor!

This professor is extremely thorough and you will definitely learn a lot if you put in the time and effort. By no means easy. Also, naming/shaming others for your shortcomings as a student is not only immature but just shows how much effort you put forth. Put in the time and work to not only pass but learn; besides asking for answers...

Professor Bender is probably one of the best science professors at Delta! He always posts announcements on Canvas reminding students of upcoming tests and quizzes and giving helpful advice. Lecture exams are based on his PowerPoints, so study them carefully. He does give homework assignments, which can be time-consuming but provide easy points.

If you are diligent with the assignments and take your time understanding the concepts, you will succeed in Prof. Bender's class. His lectures are manageable and he does not micromanage you during lab activities. He is very knowledgable and his classes will challenge you to make you a stronger student. Not textbook heavy, but it is a good resource.

took him for anatomy and honestly hes not as bad as a lot of the reviews say. anatomy is a very hard class so you have to put in a lot of effort in time for a good grade. his material is the same as knudsens. s.i. is very helpful so I highly recommend going. his class is pretty decent and I'm glad I got him for anatomy, him and knudsen are good

An overall great professor. Anatomy is a very dense course so he only goes through his selected topics out of the Mcgraw textbook which I appreciated. He only ever tested what he goes through on his powerpoints/zooms so as long as you can follow along and take the time to review what he teaches to ensure you know it, you'll do great on his exams

The class is definitely manageable. I worked full-time and have little ones. I scored Cs on all lecture exams. B and A in lab practical and scored full points on all quizzes and labs. I honestly didn't put in the time for the lecture exams, if you want to score high make sure to review lecture PowerPoint and notes daily.

Bender is amazing! Took a 6-week micro class with him & Hewette who taught the last 3 weeks Lectures were long but aligned with exams. Material was tough, but after studying, I started passing. He curves exams. Lab quizzes/particles were easier & fun. Class requires dedication. Study guides were super helpful since they aligned with the exams

although the lecture slides are a little disorganized, if you put in lots of time & effort this class is manageable dont listen to the reviews. this class is challenging and requires a lot of studying, you have to put in the work and be willing to teach yourself. it challenged me in the best way and i enjoyed having bender as my professor

Bender was the best! Lab packets and lab quizzes were self explanatory! His lectures might be a lil confusing but the lecture exam is self explantory and isn't as hard as u think!

Labs are chill, Lec. exams are generally harder and tests on more content comparatively. His lectures are sufficient if you've overlooked the information BEFORE coming to lecture (which he explicitly recommended, but not many people followed). Balanced this class with two jobs and caring for my dependents; studied ~1-3 hours a day. You can do it!

The class was good and manageable Lecture Exams are based on the PowerPoints so study them and understand them in depth and the lecture videos are helpful Lab exams were easy since resources like lab videos help and provides pages of lab models labeled do Homework and prefix quiz they boost your grade He curves exams answer questions and is kind
