Really awesome. Hilarious attitude and a fun learning environment. Definitely worth taking!!!

Really great class. He has a good sense of humor and likes to joke around with the students. It is a great class if you arent a science major and if science isnt one of your better classes. He helps you pass the class,& aware not everone is science maj

Highly recommended!!

By far the BEST professor I have ever had in college! He makes what can be extremely difficult material more fun! He makes sure that you understand and is always available for extra assistance. But most of all, he is caring in considerate of every student

Great teacher! Funny and keeps you interested.

I hated science before, and I hated it afterwards. I thought he did just as good a job as anyone I've ever taken. If you hate science, and feel that no one can explain it to you, take him because he atleast is funny. And he does curve some test grades according to what questions the class missed.

I thought he was great! I hate science and he had me convinced I could do it. I did aweful, but he graded on a curve so I survived. Nice guy, interested in making class fun, but not really good at preparing you for his tests. You have to work. His tests are hard but he throws out questions if a lot of people get it wrong. He's good at his job!!!

You people are crazy, Wallis is awesome! These classes are pretty interesting. However, if your are majoring in science its NOT for you! I hate science...I always have, but I LOVED this class! He has an awesome personality and this class was extrenely fun!

best teacher ever! hes the reason im majoring in Biology! dont listen to the people who bad mouthed him. some people just cant handle a teacher who isnt a hard a**. they get scared when someone is out of the norm! i recommend him if you want to get through biology!

Its hard not to like his class..I cant get through one w/out laughing at his jokes. He puts things into perspective..rather taking words right from the book...great teacher

Wallis is an AWESOME teacher, i would recommend you take him. He can relate the material to other things, which makes it easier to learn and clearer to understand. He also can joke around which makes the class have a lighter mood, so take him! especially if you really don't have a great interest in biology. he makes it so much easier.

Awesome class. Awesome teacher. He is so much fun and he is a goof ball so he makes things more interesting. He teaches well, so his students understand but he is definately not a push over. He gives challenging tests but you are always paying attention so it works out in the end. He is really in it for the student to learn. He's the funniest guy tho, he's like a big kid. It's great.

he is the coolest teacher i've ever had!

very fun class

if you need this class for requirement this teacher is for you. took it on the summer he did a lot of curves and shorten tests sizes really cool, he makes you pay attention with scinece facts he just gives probalby to have a laugh

awesome teacher and person. interesting and funny. nice peace sign!!! lol

He is a great professor. He keeps your attention and makes the class a lot of fun. I would definately choose to take him again.

he is a fun, different teacher. he isnt dull or boring in class and can touch base with students. many professors arent like that. the only thing is that you have to study for the tests yourself. he doesnt give you all the information in class. you have to turn work in, but it really helps prepare you for the test. he is worth taking! easy!

Wicked cool teacher, best class I've taken so far. Allot of fun and very intelligent. Took a field trip to MOSI (Bodies Exibit) and what a bonus to have him along! I would recommend this professor to anyone.

Wallis definitely knows what he's teaching. Tests are difficult, but his curves are huge. I reccomend taking his class if you are not interested in biology, and if you are.

To sum up Jim Wallis - 100% awesome.

cool guy; talks about the most random things in class, which is a great break from the suuuppppeerrr boring material. in referance to the assignments, he's really ambiguous and unclear about whats due and when. he's hilarious though and its baby bio so its easy.

Your all crazy!!! Wallis is awesome, yeah hes kind of flighty when it comes to assignments but come on, atleast its not a class to stress over. If you like an interesting teacher with an awesome personality then take wallis. if your uptight and completly structured, this class isnt for you.

Sometimes college can be a drag. Mr. Wallis makes college interesting. Provided a fun learning atmosphere. Really cool guy. I am glad I was a part of one of his classes. Not bad to look at either :)

WALLIS IS THE MAN!! One of (few) outstanding instructors at SPC. This guy is awesome, i hate science...but I loved his class. I would take every science SPC offered if Wallis taught it. Oh, and he is absolutely adorable...

Wallis hands down is the best teacher ever.. not to mention he is hilarious! he'll tell you the most random things too. HE IS NOT HARD AT ALL. how do you expect to pass a class without reading the book and studying? obviously you will get the A.

Mr. Wallis is a nice guy. The class isn't to bad.

Professor knows biology! Class is fun, tests are not. Study hard to make the grade. Make sense?

good class cool professior works with his students and I gave a chilli pepper lol hes a funy guy and let me take my exam early for my trip to hawaii

In the words of the immortal Roy Hobbs, Wallis is "the best there ever was!"

Man, I love this teacher. I took him once before, and was going in a different direction for my science classes, but I had to switch it all just to be with him again. I took his Bio Lab course online, and LOVED it. there were some early issues, so he deleted some assignments to give us all more time to get the labs done. TAKE THIS TEACHER!!!!

Wallis is a great teacher, though I suspect he has recently been counseled by Professor Matchette

Fun class, his lectures are very interesting and usually veer off to watching videos on youtube for the whole class, but be forewarned; just because his lectures are easy to listen to doesnt mean his tests are! you really have to read the textbook if you want a good grade in his class!

Professor Wallis is an entertaining professor who keeps his content-rich course lighthearted throughout the lectures. THE TESTS ARE DIFFICULT AND UNPREDICTABLE AND THIS CLASS IS LABOR INTENSIVE- but if you work hard and pay attention, you'll get SO much out of it. He's outstanding.

The tests are basically all information you can get offline, and he likes when you EXPAND on what you do get from his notes in class, so they are relatively easy. He is probably one of the funniest teachers I have ever had. Lectures are pointless, but very entertaining. The weekly field trips were useless, but the class camping was a lot of fun! (:

Mr.Wallis makes Biological Science interesting.Do your work on time. If you have question ask. He wants you to do well. I took both his Bio and Lab on-line. Labs take time to do but are fun. plan your time well. I enjoyed his class.

Every person giving Prof. Wallis a bad review is probably lazy and rediculous. Wallis was fantastic! All tests are online (got an A on all of them, open book.) Posts a ton of little quizzes which take 15 mins. You can do them as many times as you like! He gives EC!! And he tells amazing jokes. Passed with a 98!

TESTS ARE OPEN BOOK AND ONLINE! He Gives EC and is hillarious! Got and A on every test. His online quizzes take like 20 mins each and are very simple. He cares about his students, granted, his lectures are pretty pointless and you arent required to come to class, because he doesn't take attendance. DEFINITELY TAKE HIM!! I LOVED HIS CLASS.

AMAZING TEACHER! He cares about your success. Super funny guy, loves to crack jokes. All his tests and quizzes are online and are open book. He gives extra credit! It isn't mandatory that you go to class, because he doesn't take attendance. Lectures are pretty pointless because you don't learn much from it but I go for his awesomness!

All is work is online. The tests,homework,everything. So make sure you buy the book (FYI - it's $210 and not sold anywhere for cheaper) All he does is talk during the class and talks off powerpoints and goes really fast. He's kinda easy but there's a ton of online work. Just make sure you have the book!!!!!

I did enjoy this professor but there was one major glitch. He was not set up for emails and the only way to contact him was through discussion posts. That being said his lessons followed our online bio lab course exactly.Do the work and the quizzes and discussions are easy. Midterm and final were a beast however.

He is one of the best professors I've ever had! He can get distracted by his own humor at times, but you can tell he loves what he does. Hes very smart and knows what hes talking about. As long as you clarify what needs to be done at the end of class, you will be fine! TAKE HIM AND YOU WONT REGRET IT!!!!!

Wallis is a fantastic teacher. His lectures are fun and he enjoys feedback from his students. Fun and entertaining. His work is easy and he grades mostly for participation. No test reviews but tests are very straight forward and right from the textbook.

Dr. Wallis seems to thoroughly enjoy teaching. Lectures from powerpoints with mandatory class discussion including (usually) relevant anecdotes by him. Test are somewhat difficult with some short essay questions. Read the chapters thoroughly is necessary for a good grade. Involved observation project due at the end of the semester.

Super funny, tests are easier if you study. YOU HAVE TO STUDY. I liked him a ton.

Dr. Wallis is a good teacher and knows the material. He however does not teach the way I learn and I basically taught the course material to myself. Be prepared to write essays as well as multiple choice tests. Tests are very application based.

Overall a great professor. Lectures are very interesting and it is obvious he knows his stuff and loves what he does. Doesn't have set test dates you have to review notes outside of class often so that studying for tests is not overwhelming. Tests are not easy but you just have to work at it(read&take notes)! Not a bio fan but loved the class! :)

Professor Wallis is hilarious! He also is incredibly knowledgeable and kind. He wants all of his students to succeed and is willing to help outside of the classroom

Dr. Wallis is a great professor. He provided a lot of specific details about various topics however he does sometimes stray from what will be tested. He is extremely knowledgeable about all biology topics. He is open to all questions. My advice is to read the chapters as he suggests and be prepared to be tested primarily on the reading.

Dr Waills is the best. He cares and so kind with all his students. He is so flexible and easy. Also, he offers a lot of extra credit. I would recommend him for all. If you want get an A take him.

Dr. Wallis is an incredible professor and person. Whether you wish to pursue biology or you just need a credit, he is able relate to each and every one of his students. Although, if you do not take time to read/study the material, you will not pass. The test are identical to the textbook's information, all you need to do is be a good student.

WONDERFUL professor. He definitely makes you work for you grade so do NOT procrastinate. I took practice tests online to study for each chapter and it helped tremendously on top of his reviews. He's very weary of trusting students so hopefully no one hecks up any privileges he may give to your class. His test curves are also reasonable. Great guy.

Professor James Wallis is a great professor. I took his class over Zoom. There were 4 major exams. All you have to do is come to class pay attention to class and you should be good. Make sure to read the book and do the assignments on time.

Professor Wallis is very entertaining which is rather hard to do in a zoom class. He linked real world things to class. Sometimes it did cause confusion on what we should actually be getting out of the material. Overall, the extra credit helped a lot and he was extremely fair with due dates as well. Hard test and study material limited but doable.

The best way to pass this class is to read the chapters before hand, go through the study guide, and engage.He does tend to ramble but I found it entertaining and funny.Also he does not announce assignments and due dates so PAY ATTENTION TO THE CALENDAR.He is not the fastest when it comes to responding to emails so be sure to ask him in person.

Professor Wallis is the best teacher I've ever had. His lectures are fun and lively and you never want to miss a Wallis class. He genuinely cares about his students, but his tests do cover some hard concepts so don't procrastinate!! As long as you read the books and touch up on materials, you will pass the class. Take him for Bio II!!!

Wallis is very funny and laid back. He gave multiple opportunities to get extra points on the final by volunteering. He also curves the test which is amazing. He does backwards grading which can be kinda annoying. He is a good professor though and will talk about anything and everything.

Professor Wallis is fantastic his lectures are fun and engaging and he really makes sure you understand what's going on. The tests are kind of hard but if you lock in you'll do good.
