Joe is quite the quirky guy. He has a vast knowledge of microbiology and it shows. He doesn't require you to answer the questions in the book, which is nice.

Not a fan. It's not that he's necessarily a bad professor, it just annoys me that he says that attendance isn't mandatory, yet will randomly decide at random points throughout the month to give you a grade for being present using your iClicker.

Do not take this this course with Bundy. After our first exam he said that a 59% was a great class average with the top scores on the exam being a B which only 11% of people received. The lectures rarely actually prepare you for his exams either. Your grades will only come from four exams which are almost impossible to pass. STAY AWAY FROM BUNDY!!

He often wastes class time by telling irrelevant stories. For example, we were talking about how DNA works and he rambled off about Alex Trebek on Jeopardy. Also, the exam averages were 50-60% and he brags about how hard his class is.

He doesn't post the slides which in itself is fine, but I was in the ER and missed class and asked him for the slides, explaining, but he still said no.

It is very test heavy, but for us he had a point system to where if all of your assignment grades added up to x amount of points: you receive an automatic A and can exempt the final which I thought was pretty cool. I only went to lectures and I feel like he genuinely made lectures engaging and fun with side comments/comparisons. Just study a lot!

He's funny, but the lab is quite difficult: "study every word of the lab manual" type. Make sure you turn in extra credit at the precise second it's due.

I had Joseph Bundy for my BIO 111 Lab, and he was actually fun! he would make funny jokes about the labs we were doing that day in class. He is like this cool dad who tries and fit in with the younger crew. I like him his class was always enjoyable.

Mr . Bundy was very sweet , However he does get off topic a lot.I had him for Micro Lab. The test here are very difficult so just make sure you know everything.

Mr. Bundy is very interactive with students and makes the class enjoyable. BIO280 is the most difficult lab i've had to take (harder than A&P) but he made the class enjoyable. Lab tests are 60% of your overall grade making them weigh the heaviest. A LOT of material to study for (test 3 is the hardest). Learn to effectively study and you'll pass.

Bundy is not a good professor. He often seems he is not interested in MicroBio. He will often go on rants about how boring the content is and how he knows we all hate it. He jokes throughout the class so much, its hard to pay attention to material, which is VERY complicated. He does not post complete notes online and does not record lectures.

Took his Bio111 lab, attendance is sooo important. He's a funny guy but gets off-topic sometimes. His information is a bit cryptic and it makes me botch the lab sometimes but I'd take him again. Wish he explained content just a little faster.

I think he is a great professor! Yes his lectures are dragged a bit, but he makes his classes passable. His tests aren't hard if you take the time to study well. Attendance is mandatory because he does turgid questions randomly that you would want to get points for. He gives a great bonus point opportunity nearing the end of the semester.
