Don't have these comment's fool you if you don't do the work, or study you will fail the class. He does give extra credit, but not one of these professors that would give you a push if your grade is border line. Bottom line if you don't like to study you will fail. The exams are hard and makes you think a lot

GREAT PROFESSOR I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM. His lectures are very clear and concise and he makes it very interesting. His tests come from his lectures so take good notes. His test reviews are extremely helpful. You have to do work but it shouldn't be difficult to get by with an A or B!

He is amazing! Gives great lectures and cares for the grades of his students. He gives out pop quizzes like crazy BUT he tells you exactly what they'll be about. So if you memorize what he said to memorize, you're good. They also don't count again only as bonus points toward the test. Only 4 critical assignments and 4 tests. TAKE THIS CLASS!!!

Lectures are so interesting, so it's not that difficult to pay attention. Take good notes because test are based on his lectures. He doesn't count attendance but don't be absent because you will miss important notes and getting notes from a friend is not the same of taking them your self! I had to learn that the hard way. Oh and he's kinda cute:)

You'd be hard-pressed to find a better professor. Fair, respectful, engaging. Does not read slides and call it a day. Understanding of life circumstances and is willing to help. Humorous and interesting. Tells you exactly what to expect on exams, no tricks or misleading study guides. Now if we can only convince him to teach biology at LSC as well..

Mr. Durm is a great teacher, he gives lectures but they are funny and helpful. You must go to class in order to pass. the test are based on notes from his lectures. If you study you will pass his test they are easy. He gives three critical thinking papers and drop the lowest score. It is an easy A. pop quiz points are bonus points for the exams.

He lectures off powerpoints and you take notes. he doesn't post anything online so if you are not in class for the lecture you will need someone elses notes. he fully prepares you for the test and tells you exactly what you need to know. no comprehensive final, the 4th test is considered the final. 3 single page papers, drops the lowest.

He's a very nice guy, but he lectures so heavy and you have to take lots of notes and you have to write everything down BECAUSE it will be on the test. Everything is on the test so yes you have to remember everything. If you can find an easier professor go for it!!!! If you take his class you might as well drop all your other ones.

Very charming and professional. He is very organized when explaining and for grading, if you do an exam today, he'll give you the result that same day. His tests are only easy if you complete his study guides from top to bottom and if you understand the material. His classes are entertaining and he expects people to participate. Recommended 11/10

You HAVE to show up or you'll fail. His notes are blank and won't post them until later, he won't help you if you need to miss a day for family/priorities like me. Yes I potentially failed but I feel he could've done more as an educator to help prevent that. Also forbids the use of college level technology (phones especially, but also laptops)
