Just took Prof. Walker's on-line class. 1to2 chapters a week, 1 assignment, 1 quiz(multiple attempts), and 2 discussion boards each chapter. If you are looking for an easy A don't take this class BUT if you want to learn something and take a teacher that is willing to help you then take this class. If you put in the work you can get an A, I did.

This teacher, while adorable & funny, likes to give trick questions. He is strict on spelling but you can have him check your spelling if you're in doubt. I got a B on 1 exam, C's on 2 more exams, failed 1 exam, & failed the final. However, I did every lab (easy), every online quiz (difficult but OPEN BOOK), & came out with a high B.

Took this class online. Class is not a hard class howeve his worksheets (which were given with EVERY chapter) can be very time consuming. You have 1 or 2 discussion every week based on chapters that are covered, a quiz for each chapter, 4 exams and a project. Very Passable just not with a full work load.

I chose this professor based on ratings-I really regret it now. The Lab worksheets are very long and the instructions are quite obtuse or non-existent. After the first one was graded, I made sure to email him on every Lab to be sure I was doing it correctly - and I wasn't. He would give me further instructions in email that wern't on the worksheet

Dr. Walker is THE BEST professor I have ever had. He is extraordinarily passionate about Biology, and his enthusiasm bleeds into every class and lab. However, his classes are challenging. He actually expects you to know the material. However, if you follow the "Master Study Guide" religiously and drill them on notecards, making an A is possible.

It is a fast paced class; to point, we had 2 weeks where there 3 weeks worth of work that was due each week... each week! If this is your only class, Take him; He is a great instructor.

Though I don't care for science much, professor Walker is one of FSCJ's best instructors.Like many below me have said,PowerPoints,lectures, and study guides for every chapter are available from the onset of the class. If you do all of your homework and really study for the tests an A is very obtainable.

Professor Walker is awesome. He really goes in to depth with out being long winded. All of our work consisted of labs and on line quiz which were relatively easy because we mostly everything in groups. I wouldn't say that his class is easy but there is no reason why you should get at least a B in his class. But if you miss 3 labs you auto/fail.

There are weekly multiple choice 10 question quizzes on blackboard. There are weekly easy labs. Lots of extra credit. Moderately easy class.

Awesome class. I took him for an online class. It is super organized. Basically one lecture one lab and one quiz a week. He gives study guides which really help for the test. He was always quick to respond to my questions and believe me I had a lot. 10/10

Doesn't teach half of what he tests on. I took it online and only got an A because of being able to google during quizzes and exams. He uses old lectures that are half-wasted on outdated jokes about Justin Bieber and Friends. Emailed him once about a question I missed and never got a response. His lectures are informative but useless for the tests.

I recommend taking this with some sort of live instruction, it's more fun and more details/explanation than in his video lectures. I took both a live online semester and fully online and did pretty well. He provides his own textbook and labs which are easy As. Weekly module quizzes and two exams. Great professor and class! Highly recommend!

Great instructor, very passionate, wants to help his students be successful. Not easy by no means and biology did not come easy to me. However, Dr. Walker did everything humanly possible to make sure that I got the information. Drirlling the lecture videos and study guides are the key to acing the exams which end up being about half of your grade.

Dr. Walker is amazing. I am in the process of getting special accommodations (private testing due to anxiety). He set me up in the testing center with a private room even though my special accomodation petition has not been finalized. I took his class where each week had a lecture and a lab.

Overall his class was great, the labs were easy and so were the quizzes. The only problem I had was the exams, they are proctored online so there the added anxiety of someone watching you along with the study guides do not match the exams. If you take this class I suggest making sure you watch the videos and study as much as possible.

Dr Walker is super cool, funny, and tries his best to make the class engaging. He obviously enjoys the material and really knows his stuff. You have to buy the lab manual, which he wrote, but it's pretty straight forward stuff. The class was written to be online or hybrid so you don't have to show up (he's lenient) but you really should.

If you have the time to devote your life to his class or if youre actually interested in learning Biology take his course, but if youre trying to take a science class just for your pre-requisite classes Avoid him at all costs, he makes Biology harder than what it has to be, the tests are basically half your grade, and his study guide dont help.

I took Dr. Walker for Bio 1 during covid as a live online course and in person for Bio 2. Great professor willing to help, but you have to show initiative. He expects you to do the work and come to him with questions. The exams determine your grade at the end of the day, but there are no surprises.

All around good professor. He is passionate about what he teaches and genuinely wants to help. His lecture material is interesting and he goes off on some "out-there" tangents, which are quite entertaining to watch. The labs are fun most of the time and aren't really busy work. Exams aren't too bad, but I studied pretty hard.

Professor Walker's class was very difficult. All of his tests are taken with ProctorU which changes settings on your computer and requires camera + mic. He does not allow extra credit or retakes. He closed the class early with no warning. Requires you to buy an overpriced book that he wrote that contains 50% of your classwork.

lovely professor, took him for both biology 1 and 2. no dissections, virtually all labs done in classes, and he uses his own lab manual instead of any textbook (which is much cheaper). show up to classes for the labs and fill out his chapter study guides to prepare for exams and it'll be easy.

My classmates always said that they look forward to his class. He would always ask if there were any questions when he'd give lectures, and would pause his lecture to make sure you understood what he was talking about before moving on with the class's current topic. 2 exams all semester. He also has Discords for all his classes.

He has you use his website to answer study guides to prepare you for your tests DO THEM. If you put in the work there's no excuse not to pass. He's super chill/understanding.

His exams aren't too bad but they're closed book and he expects we study the study guide on his site. Which is 40 questions per chapter. I wish he would've condensed them into something realistic. I got a c because i failed both exams. The rest of the work is relatively easy to do. I personally wouldn't take him again but he isn't a "bad" professor

Professor Walker's class could be one of the best/worst experiences depending on you. Study the study guides, pay attention to lectures, and follow the labs and you'll do fine. The quizzes are open-book, but not the exams (study guides help here). Email him if anything, as he is quick to respond. Pay attention and ask questions when needed.

Cool guy. Lectures & studyguide didn't prepare me for the exams even with lots of studying. There are 2 exams and your grades rely on that. The exams are M/C & if you miss it for whatever reason (family health emergency) & he allows you to retake it, its all short answer. Tough grader & takes off points for small things.

Dropped this class because the expectations seemed unreasonable. Was not told I needed to buy a $50 physical lab book (no digital version) until the day class started. No textbook and the two tests are based primarily on his lectures. There was a syllabus quiz but the syllabus was not provided. The workload seemed reasonable for a B12 session.

This is a class where you HAVE to get 100% on the exams in order to get an A. There is A LOT of content that you are expected to memorize. The homework, quizzes, and labs are extremely easy but don't do much to strengthen your grade as the exams are 200 points and 65-66 questions each. A lot of dedicated time to this class is needed.

Incredibly difficult to fail this class. Exams make up 400 points of class, (open) quizzes/labs make up the rest and are not hard. Start exam prep early & actually do the study guides they really do help, I didn't catch on until the final, which is not cumulative.

I've taken Professor Walker for three classes: BSC2010C, BOT1010C, and BSC1005, all online. I like him. The proctored exams in BSC2010/11 and BOT1010C are a heavy part of your grade, and the study guides don't help much; just take good notes. He grades very easily, corrects mistakes, and responds to emails promptly. A $50 lab book is needed.
