Cares about his subject and can make the students care too.

I hate science, but Professor Haverly has made it very interesing...and Bearable!

AWESOME TEACHER! VERY FUN!

Very humorous person! You'll love him!

Professor Haverly will amaze you with his knowledge in this environmental class. You will be exposed to many different views on major environmental issues. This class is a must take for your life science requirement. He is also very helpful.

A must take if you are interested in Environmental science. Haverly is awesome. Course is a little tough, but lots of EC is available if you need it.

You MUST take this course. Joe Haverly is one of the rare breed of teachers whose passion for his subject comes through so strongly(while not being preachy), that it makes the student care too. Excellent prof, helpful,clear,a DEFINITE recommend to anyone

Fun guy. Unfortunately, I think it's sad that most of his students miss his points. But he's a great guy, and I recommend his class to everyone.

Exceptional, young professor. Teaching his passion/ will inspire you to recycle!

Awesome guy, wish i had him for microbiology. If he teaches it that is

Haverly was awesome. Never had a better teacher or a better class. I hate science, but learned to enjoy it and enjoy his class. ive had a lot of teachers, and he's the best. Loved the book Ishamel.

Great Professor, tries to open your mind to different points of views, doesn't try to impose his own

He is an awesome Prof! He has a true passion for teaching and it trully shows. I wasn't so sure about this class but if I could take it again I would! The tests were only hard if you didn't study. He actually tries to get to know his students. If you take a class he teaches, take him!

Joe is an excellent teacher. He is passionate about what he teaches, and if you involve yourself, you will most definetly change your perception on the environment. Only downside is that his class lacks a lot of 'hard' science, if you are looking for that sort of thing.

He is a great teacher, but his assistants in the lab were jackasses, he was verry helpful and was willing to work with you to make sure you understand the material. I would defiantely recomend him.

Joe Haverly is GOD!!!

Joe is a really great teacher, if you ever get a chance to take one of his classes do it. He really tries to get everyone in the class involved and those students who seem the least interested he will probe them the most (asking them questions and what they think). He really tries to relate to each student individually. If you have any questions at all he will jump at the chance to help you. He just wants everyone to learn and helping the environment is one of his passions, he justs wants you to see.

Joe is just an all around funny nice guy. I enjoy going to his class and learn a lot about life. Not only does he help us with enviromental issues..but helps us look deeper into ourselfs to find the real solutions to real problems that we face. I would recomend this teacher FOR SURE!

He was a great teacher. I had him online and i learned a lot. I thought it was a pretty easy class. i got a B but i didnt try that hard, if i would have tried harder i would have got an A. Take if him you have a chance.

Awesome teacher all around.

he is a good teacher just make sure when you have a test you study because sometimes they are tricky

Joe's one of the best professors at RVC. I'm a BIO major & really enjoyed his class. He makes the material interesting, relevant, and easy to learn. If you need the science credits, take this class-it's impossible to fail it! As a bonus, he's a super nice guy and cute as a button!

Joe is an AWESOME teacher. His class was hard, but very enjoyable. The only reason you wouldn't pass is because you didn't put in the effort. He is very helpful and will answer any questions you have. I wasn't all that excited about this class, but I learned and retained SO much more than I expected. I highly recommend him!

He was so nice and helpful. I really enjoyed his class. Plus, for a balding 30 something year old he is very hot. You'll enjoy this class even if science is not your fortay. Oh and he teaches kickboxing too, so take that if you can!

gAVE HARD TESTS

I thought Joe taught a great Cardio Kickboxing class. He is tough and will put you into shape. As for flirting with the "18 year olds" in my class they seemed to annoy him the most. He doesn't want lazy people taking his class and he will tell you that!

Awesome teacher, be prepared to do a little bit of work but he is super awesome. And very attractive.

Haverly is an interesting teacher.He discusses many controversial topics and gives difficult exams. He pushes critical thinking as well as class participation.I would recommend taking his class.

I enjoyed Mr. Haverly's class and appreciate his passion for the environment, making the class interesting. Just because a teacher has spunk and enjoys their job does not mean they use the classroom as a soapbox. He gets students active in the environment and encourages volunteering, who ever said that was a bad thing?

Haverly is a great guy, and Bio 106 is the easiest A you can get. He is very passionate about the enviornment and what he does. Very easy to get along wih but can be a bit closed minded. This class was so easy it felt like a remedial high school class, but I did learn a great deal and opened my eyes to some new concepts.

Mr. Haverly is awesome. Super helpful. His labs can be a bit tedious and long. He likes you to write alot on the definitions and such. If you want to pass his class you should definetly attend each one.

Re: online class--Great environ science teacher but take the class in person, not online version. Turn in assignments on time (by midnight) or you will get a ZERO! Quizzes were very hard (IMHO) and final was 100 pt mult choice. Lots of weekly work to do; just stay on top of everything. Personally I thought his class was pretty tough. Good guy tho.

He is a very intellegent, passionate and fun professor. I took A&P, which is not a cake walk, and he made the class bearable. I ended up with an "A"...And He is VERY HANDSOME for a balding older guy!!!

Enrolled in Lecture and Lab. Easy-going. If called on in class, dont expect "I dont know" to work. Rarely uses textbook, which can be found on reserve in library and does help to clarify. Majority of information is presented in lecture! Expect to "think outside the box". This is not vocabulary regurgitation - everything in your own words.Recommend!

When I took his class he seemed very open to my views and beliefs, and did not at all seem offensive. He made it very easy to understand and I barely studied and still got an A. The content is easy to learn and he's a good teacher. I don't know what everyone else is whining about

Prior to this class, I hated all science classes; they were boring! However, after taking Mr. Haverly as a professor, he made this class my favorite class this semester! He was very clear in his instructions & his lectures were always interesting! He got me very interested in the topics covered in class! Def one of the best professors I've had!

He's Hott that's for sure. You will actually learn if you take this class!

Great teacher and a fun class. He is very responsive to questions and is available for to help. There is a lot of work to this class but you learn alot. Some of the offsite event requirements are fun, too. Highly recommend his class!

Extremely good teacher. He really cares about what he's talking about and he wants the students to understand and care too. Even if you don't think you'll like the class, you'll still learn a lot and get something out of it. Easily the best class I have ever taken. I recommend him 100%.

Awesome teacher, very passionate and makes stuff really interesting. You enter the class not expecting anything and leave with really useful knowledge. Became one of my favorite classes this semester.

Haverly, is very invested in his class and making his students feel like they can talk to him. He is a very fun and interactive professor, and he cares a lot about his students. He is one of the best professors I have ever had. I highly recommend this class if you have an interest in the environment.

Professor Haverly is helpful and gives his lessons in a clear, engaging, concise and sometimes humorous style. He insists on removing all doubt over course material. He is an exceptional teacher who is there for his students' success. A passionate teacher is a rare find and Haverly is definitely that guy who loves his job! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

He was very helpful and passionate about his class. I would recommend this class to everyone, regardless of interest in bio.

Definitely take him if you can! He is very educated in the subject matter and keeps his lectures even on any arguments. Before I took his course I was not into science at all. He changed that for me, which is a plus. Lectures on a PowerPoint, but will make side-notes on the whiteboard. Tests are easy if you read through the packet and book.

I took the three week summer class with him and it was very time consuming. There is a lot to go over and get done in a small amount of time. He is a great teacher. He teaches it to you so you understand it and remember it rather than giving you a study guide and figuring it out on your own. He expects everything on time so don't be late. Recommend

The notepackets that he assigns are a pain in the butt, but very helpful. And the tests are literally identical to the practice quizzes. DEFINITELY do the EC, and you'll be good. I would say i put forth a C effort at best, but ended up getting an A in the class. Definitely reccommend! Dont be late too much though cuz he'll dock ur points alot.

Excellent Teacher. Whether you like it or not, you will learn...and maybe even care.

AWESOME TEACHER !

He is a great teacher

Mr.Haverly is a GREAT teacher!! He cares about his students. Very funny. Will never make you feel stupid but make you think a bit more about your question. I RECOMMEND HIM BIG TIME. AWESOME AWESOME TEACHER. HE WAS NOMINATED FACULTY OF THE YEAR 2013 =) thats how awesome

I took the lecture as well as the lab with him and enjoyed them both! 106 is a very interesting class and you can tell he's very passionate about teaching us how to think about life changing practices. I recommend his class to everyone I know that needs to take a science credit. Favorite teacher so far!

Very caring teacher. Willing to go above classroom time to help. Will meet and go over material during office hours. Super understanding. Just a good person. If you are interested in the environment and not just learning a bunch of facts, this is a great class for you.

Haverly is a good teacher. He enjoys teaching, which makes the class not boring. He adds humor to the class to make it enjoyable. Great teacher

Haverly is really a good teacher in general. I wasn't that interested in the class prior to taking it, but he made it interesting. His tests are really specific, make sure you study EVERYTHING. He words things weirdly sometimes, too. He heavily weighs finals, which are cumulative, so make sure you retain the information.

He's really funny and entertaining! He tells you exactly what will be due when from day 1 of class. Love!

Professor Haverly is very good at explaining difficult concepts. He had a good energy, even early in the morning and I don't think he expected too much of us! I learned a lot in this class. Study for the final and midterm because I didn't and that dropped my grade down to a B but otherwise the class is pretty easy and works well in the short summer

Haverly is a good professor, but I didn't like having him for Environmental Biology. He does more preaching than teaching in lectures. The material isn't difficult, but it's so much easier when someone is actually teaching it to you which he really didn't do in this class. A few projects worth a lot, the tests aren't too terrible, open note.

Professor Haverly is one of those professors that you will either love him or hate him. I loved taking his class and learned a lot about a subject I didn't know enough of. His tests are difficult and tricky but if you study hard you will do well. It's not enough to just show up, you need to read the text book and study that study guide.

I'm taking his class online this semester. It is very easy. He gives weekly quizzes worth 10pts, very easy if you fill out the note packet-he tells exactly which pages the questions are from. A few easy exams-25pts. One book review. Always willing to help & sending info on things he feels we might find interesting. Few assign are an easy 2025pts.

I've taken him 2 times now. It's either hit or miss with this guy. Yes, he does know his stuff but he can kind of be rude about it. Encourages you to ask questions but when you do he will make you feel like an idiot for asking. Can be nice sometimes but he can also be an a hole. You will learn A LOT! But you have to do the work. i barely passed.

Haverly is hands down one of the greatest professors. He is extremely inspirational and really cares about his students. He makes the class exciting and entertaining so you actually want to participate. He's tough on students but only because he cares and honestly does want everyone to do well in his class! i HIGHLY recommend his classes!

I'm a student that struggles with science courses and rarely speaks in class. I dreaded this course, but after the first week of class it became the one I looked forward to the most. Mr. Haverly expects you to take away something from his class which involves more effort on your part yes, but that's how you learn anything. GREAT educator.

Haverly's class was extremely informative. Lectures can be pretty boring at times but it depends on the person. This class is a lot of work but if you work hard, read, and participate, you will pass!

Haverly is the most amazing teacher I've ever had! He has a passion for biology and teaches it well. He changed the way I look at the world. He has high expectations but cares about us. If you have a question, the answer is on eagle or in the syllabus, do NOT ask him. He has one book report that is worth a third of the grade, so work hard on it.

A very interesting class and teacher, but the group project was killer. It was worth a third of the grade and was a lot of work, so if you don't get a good group you will have a very hard time. Otherwise a very interesting fun class that wasn't particularly difficult. 20 online quizzes that aren't difficult, and he drops the worst scores.

His empowering lectures made me feel like I could affect positive change regarding environmental issues and convinced me to go into the field. You learn a lot in his class and he is an incredible speaker. Read the text to be covered in class that day before class to be able to actively discuss the topics. He likes students who engage/participate.

The best Professor I have ever had. He is very passionate and knowledgeable about his subject. He is a very respectable guy.

Haverly is very passionate about his teaching and strives to share as much knowledge as possible with his students. He is an amazing teacher and I highly recommend him!

By far the BEST Professor I have ever taken. Not only is he knowledgeable and passionate about the subject, but he also cares about his students. If I had the chance to take him again, I would without even thinking.

Loved this teacher! He's one of the best at Rock Valley

Haverly is honestly the best teacher I have ever had. His lectures are life changing. I think that every prof should teach like him. I recommend any of his classes and I will definitely take most of his classes.

Haverly is an awesome professor who will make you enjoy going to class. I'd recommend him to every first year student.

Best teacher I have EVER had. I hated environmental science in high school but Haverly makes it so fun and interesting. You need to do the chapter outlines and show up for lectures if you want to do good on exams. He's very passionate and his lectures are awesome! Highly recommend him if you want to learn what environmental science really is.

Mr. Haverly is a great person and professor. His lectures are very interesting and you will definitely learn a lot about the environment. Personally, I learned so much from this class and broadened my worldview. He is very supportive and really cares about students. If you have issues with quizzes definitely talk with, that's would be very helpful.

I would highly recommend Haverly's environmental biology class to everyone! It will change your life. He is hysterical and an awesome teacher.

Did not like him at first... Things changed fast... He is funny, respectful, willing to answer all of my dumb questions. He taught me how to learn. He really cares about his class... He wants us to learn. He is passionate about what he is teaching. You do need to study for this one, but he will help

Really looks beyond standard text material. Lots of great information from this class.

Come into this class with an open mind. If youre overly critical and arent willing to have your world view altered a bit, you wont enjoy your time in class. Speak up during lectures (he will give many opportunities), youll regret it if you dont. Haverly is a wonderful professor, theres a ton you can learn from him. Hes a little preachy.

Makes the topics you learn relateable to,you in one way or another. Overall one of my favorite teachers for how he teaches, and just his warm personality.

Basically just do the study guide work. He can help a little bit but the content is kinda common sense so it isn't always necessary. Some people have to go to class to understand the content, it just depends on the person. He rants a little bit but he respects different opinions. His lectures are sometimes entertaining though, he is an odd person.

Haverly is an amazing and caring teacher. You have to fill out note packets before coming to class and talk/learn about it in class. If you do start slacking, he does offer extra credit outside of class.

Had the material not been as easy as it was, I would be calling out Joe for his ridiculous lectures. They felt more like a spiritual gathering than a learning environment. Nonetheless, it was an easy class with important, interesting material. Get ready to participate in class!

I had him my first semester and he was by far my favorite teacher! He made a science class extremely fun, and he gives SO MUCH extra credit. It is a super easy class if you just do the work, turn it in on time and listen in class. The only thing that people should know is that he doesnt take ANY late work. But Id recommend him to anyone!

Prof. Haverly is a hilarious and great guy. I would consider taking him again in the future, but he give 0 extra credit and really refuses to work with a student that is struggling in the class.

I was taking this class with a different professor and multiple subs that didn't seem to care for our class. Joe came in and saved the day! He is amazing. He does want you be engaged in class. He loves asking questions about the subject and he is always available to help. He honestly is one of the best. He is a very caring teacher.

Professor Haverly is a great professor who not only cares about his students, but the world as well. Classwork is relatively easy as long as you follow his instructions. Be warned, his tests are difficult as they require comprehension of the course material. As long as you apply yourself, you will be fine.

Really fun and quirky, made me love science even more.

Very helpful as a professor will do anything he can to help you learn and understand the material. I have started this class with two others and withdrew because of their teaching but Haverly helped me so much I wish he could have been the professor for all of the biology courses. Keep up on notes/study guides he gives you & you'll be prepared.

I loved Haverly! He is one of the most caring professors I have ever had. He made me understand anatomy with a lot of humor and discussion. He taught me the real reason quizlet was made and I appreciate him so much. He loves to interact and get to know his students 10/10 would recommend him for any subject.

Prof. Haverly is awesome. He expects college level work from students, and he won't hold your hand. However, he actually teaches the material, not like some professors who just read from powerpoints. He gives awesome study tips, and genuinely wants you to do well in his class. Be prepared to study, don't skip class, and you'll do great in his clas

Professor Haverly is an amazing teacher who really cares for his students. This class was very inspiring, but challenging at times as well. The only thing I was not a fan of is that he calls on people to answer questions instead of raising your hand, that way you ALWAYS have to be engaged during his lecture.

Amazing teacher. Someone who really cares about his students and their well being. As long as you show up, do your homework and study youll get a good grade.

Amazing instructor

Professor Haverly was the best professor I had during my first semester at RVC. He cares so much about his student well-being, he wants to get to know them at a personal level. He is so respectable through the way he gives his lectures, he doesn't reprimand his students to make choices like him. I learned so much from him, a true college professor!

Professor Haverly is such a great person and a funny guy, he makes his students think outside the box and when he talks about environmental science he brings in both sides of the spectrum. The lectures he gives are priceless and very interesting, highly suggest you take his class, you wont regret it.

Amazing interesting teacher. Relates to us. Very energetic, cares about you and wants you to pass. I took the lab so you get to go outside and meet off-campus sometimes which is very cool. The things we learned about were very useful.

Workbook is provided. Dont get the Tree Finder until you have to because it isnt required every semester. Show up and take the quizzes and youll do fine.

Professor Haverly is super cool! You can see his passion for the subject in his lectures. He incorporates humor whenever he can and he makes you really assess your lifestyle choices and values. He does expect college level work and gives great feedback! He also has clear guidelines and expectations

Overall a great teacher! Science is not my strong suit but in his class if you follow his instructions and do the work youll do fine. I took it online for the summer 1 semester. Also a very important subject for right now I would recommend everyone take environmental science

I took BIO106 online in summer II. Professor Haverly always answered emails in a timely fashion. The course was layed out well for the whole semester. There was no doubt as to when assignments and tests were due. We did have to read a book, but it was actually very interesting! I would definitely recommend Professor Haverly.

It was difficult to take a lab class online, however, Professor Haverly always answered questions by email (I had several)! He gave feedback on the labs, so you could review the concepts to see where you had a problem before taking the lab practical and final. Most of your grade came from those two exams. I would recommend Professor Haverly.

Overall, the teacher is honestly a nice guy. Not everyone will like him, but he tries his best to care for all of his students. Yes, I do agree with others when they say that the tests are difficult, but there are other opportunities to boost your grade up. Extra credit is given and it pretty much boosts your grade by a whole letter if you do it.

I took Bio 106 with him and it was awful, this semester though was completely different. He constantly looked to improve his teachings and took everything to heart. By the end of the semester he is now one of my favorite teachers. Unique testing but manageable, easy but large labs, removes your worst largest grade and potentially more.

Class was very difficult on exams, but if you do everything else well you should pass with a good grade. Attendance is taken for a grade. You need to study to get an A. Great lectures and genuine person. You learn far more important things in this class than any other. You should consider taking this course.

I took this class over the summer and loved professor Haverly. Lots of extra credit opportunities that bumped me from a B to an A.

Professor Haverly tries really hard to make this class go as smoothly as he can. It naturally has a ton of information we have to know for this class. He goes out of his way to make it clear exactly what is needed to be studied for each exam and is extremely organized with how he wants his classes to go each day. I would definitely recommend him!!

Would recommend him 100%. As long as you attend class and pay attention to the lectures. You will pass.

Professor Haverly is the best professor I've taken at RVC. Not everyone will agree with him or like him, but what they will like is he gives you every opportunity to pass his class. Do the homework, show up to class, study, and you will pass. He curves and drops lowest scores at the end and (I think) he's hilarious. He makes anatomy enjoyable.

Do the work show up and you should be fine. He is a great teacher and cares a lot about his students.

Available to go over home works and exams. Great lectures!

You can tell professor Haverly really cares about his students success. If you show up to lecture and do the homework, you will pass. One of the best professors I've had at RVC!

Haverly is the best professor I have had yet at RVC. He makes notes, quizzes, and practice exams for you. For the notes you have to fill them out before class or it will be hard for you to pay attention to his lectures. Haverly does call on students in the classroom so be ready for that. LOVE LOVE LOVE HIM. Wish he could teach every class

Haverly is my favorite professor so far at RVC, it's a lot of work but he gives so many opportunities to gain the practice (and the points) to be prepared for the exams and practicals. He's very laid back but truly does everything he can to help students succeed in his class. Hands down an amazing professor and I would recommend him to everyone.

Professor Haverly was one of the best professors I had at RVC. He will help you get through the course. You will have homework about every other day, but the assignments do help you get through his class. He truly does care about his students and treats them with respect. Hands down will recommend him to anyone taking anatomy and physiology.

Haverly is the absolute best, very easy going, caring, funny, & makes lecture enjoyable. A&P is NOT easy, but he gives you various ways of studying & practicing the material vs the traditional route. I'm not strong in science but I dedicated my time to continually using his resources. 12/10 would take any other course he taught!

Professor Haverly is great! Professor Haverly offers plenty of opportunities to learn the material at home with all the extra study guides, the online work that helps you study, etc. I really enjoyed taking this class.

Best professor I have ever had at RVC. He gives numerous opportunities for you to succeed in the course and shows that he does want you to succeed! Participation matters, as he will call on you every class, but he makes lecture fun. His lectures are complicated, but he does a great job going in depth on what will be on exams. 100% recommend!

Took Professor Haverlys Bio 185 evening classes the spring of 2024. Be prepared for lots homework due weekly. However, he gives you multiple attempts to get a passing grade. He will sit down and help you study for lab and help you understand each topic. No question is stupid in his class. You can truly see he loves to teach. Best professor at RVC

SHOW UP TO CLASS!!!!! and you will do just fine, he is a nice teacher and will make you laugh at his dad jokes.

He is a fair but firm professor when it comes to getting work done in-and-outside the classroom. I really enjoyed him as a professor because he was willing to help his students if they needed it and helped to guide them in the right direction during labs.

Professor Haverly truly cares about all of his students and it shows. He wants you to succeed and sets you up to do just that. If you ever need help, he will help you. The class itself is very difficult but that's to be expected, but if you follow along the way explains, show up to class, use your time wisely and STUDY, you will do just fine

Professor Haverly is a great professor. He really has a passion for teaching and makes sure that you can learn. No question is stupid to him, he dedicates his time to explain. He cares for attendance and he asks you questions to make sure that you are understanding. The tools he uses for student learning support are on point so practice is a must.

Professor Haverly makes this challenging course enjoyable. His lectures are engaging, and he provides tons of resources to help you succeed, including tools like Unstuckstudy for effective study prep. Definitely worth the effort.

Prof Haverly really sets his classes up well. Anatomy Phys is a tough class with lots of topics, but he has SO many resources to help students. He writes out packets for you to fill out and has so many helpful videos linked and practice quizzes and tests before the real ones. He doesn't lecture much but is always there to help and explain topics.

Haverly was the best professor I've had so far. His course does have a heavy work load, but that's because it's anatomy. He does everything in his power to make the class as easy as possible and very straight forward, you just have to be willing to put in the time. Haverly is easy to work with and will help you as long as you help yourself!

Professor Haverly was an amazing professor. He was the reason I enjoyed anatomy as much as I did. He kept the class fun and engaged many conversations with the class. He was honest and willing to help anyone out. He was always approachable and funny. I really recommend his class to anyone. Keep up with studying and DON'T procrastinate.

An amazing professor, makes everything clear of what you need to know and keeps class engaging. I would take his class again. Just make sure you do your notes and study and you will do well in his class.
