COME ONE, HE IS NOT BAD. HE TELLS YOU WHAT TO EXPECT AND YOU CAN GET THE MC QUESTIONS FOR TEST OFF OF INTERNET. YOU PEOPLE ARE NOT IN HIGH SCHOOL ANYMORE, WHAT DO YOU EXPECT. YOU REALLY WILL STROKE AT AUBURN...IF YOU EVEN MAKE IT THERE.

He is a good teacher. Expects alot on lab tests but lecture tests are a breeze. I would recommend to someone interested in learning bio. Kind of a skimp on grades and missed classes.

Come on now, hes a good teacher. Your in college now suck it up or you will never make it with a truely hard teacher. If you cant make an A in his class you will never make it at Auburn.

I beleive he is a good teacher but you will not make a good grade unless you study. this is college. read the chapter and memorize everything for the lab test and you will make an A. do the bonus its and extra 40 pts. 80% of test material is on the practice exam online. he is not a mean guy

As far as "teaching" goes, he does that pretty well. Mr Hayes is one of those Biology nuts who knows everything in the world about Biology. His lecture tests are somewhat difficult, but the lab tests are completely asinine. Our Lab Test average in my class was about a 24 (Out 100 points)!

He is really nice, but be ready to work super hard. He also has the worst spelling mistakes on his tests and stuff, thats a bit anoying. I'm not that smart and i got a B, but i don't really feel that i learned the material. OH, and the lab tests were impossible for me, but then i again i am not a biology person! Good luck if you take him!

Overall I enjoyed the class. He is very nice and will go out of his way to help you. Do the bonus, go to class, study at least 12 hrs. for each test, and you should do well. I am a failure in nursing school,(adv. 70) but I made a A in his class. He has a goofy dry personality, but I like it. Class can get boring but hang in their and Study hard!

He's kinda goofy but funny. His jokes crack me up cause he's so corny. The tests are difficult. You need to study study study! I can't say much about the lab tests though. Only "Good Luck!" Overall, it's okay. Definitely do the extra credit!!!

He is a hard teacher. Be prepared to study a lot. I made an 89 and did not miss a single class and he would not give me an A. If you want a good grade use the website that comes in the book it is very helpful.

Not a cake walk class. If you show up to class, take good notes, study, and do your lab you will be fine. He is willing to help you with anything if you ask. Also, if you stay late in lab reviews he will kind of go over what is and isn't on the test. Good teacher and class.

He's OK, but hard. Tests are very hard, but lab tests are slightly easier. Come to class, take good notes, & STUDY HARD. You'll learn a lot in this class. Oh, & definatly do extra credit, it's worth it. If you do this you'll do fine. Good luck.

HIS CLASS IS VERY HARD.I WOULD ADVISE YOU TO READ THE CHAPTERS AND FORGET THE NOTES THAT YOU TAKE IN CLASS BECAUSE THE LECTURE TEST MY ONLY COVER 10% OF THE NOTES. THIS CLASS WAS VERY HARD FOR ME. BY GRACE OF GOD I CAME OUT WITH A "C". GOOOOD LUCK!!!

Very hard class....Notes are useless, READ READ READ your textbook. Details are big!! easy points for pathogen cards, and unknowns it you know what ur doing. 50 points extra credit at the end and lab manual and lab tests are easy. Just READ READ READ the book for tests and you'll be fine. Awesome professor, tells you awesome info. and is interestin

Good professor, pretty funny and keeps the class interesting. Most of the test comes from the book and not the notes. Lecture tests are the difficult parts of this class. Lab tests, lab book, pathogen cards & quizes are not bad. Plus 50 pts bonus. Just read your book as much as you can and you will do alright!

Dr. Hayes does know his stuff. Read the assignments, study from Mrs.Harrelson's study guides, do all the extra credit. Study hard and you'll do fine.

Hayes class isn't that bad. His tests are hard if you don't know the trick to it. The biggest help for me in came from the website of the company that made the book. They have quizzes online you can take for each chapter. almost all of those questions are on the test! That's half of them right there.

in this class, you HAVE to study!! the notes help but dont rely on them! you have to read the book!! make sure you pay attention during the labs!! take pictures, videos, or whatever you have to do! his Lab exams are extremely hard!! every point counts in his class!! Do the extra credit and study for the test. you can get a B even an A if you try!!

This class is extremely hard, but it is definitely good preparation for nursing school. What he teaches in class is very clear to understand but his tests are based off the book. Read it! Study! Do not fall behind on reading! Pathogen cards & quizzes are simple if you do the work! Do your case studies and extra credit articles! Great teacher!

You really have to read the chapters and study for his lecture tests. He is very informative and a great instructor. He knows his stuff!

Mr. Hayes was very helpful to me. I could ask him anything and he would explain it to me. He is there to help you. You have to study and learn to make good grades, that is with any class though. I would take him, just be prepared to devote yourself so you can make a good grade. He is a great teacher. Draw what he draws on the board.

Mr hayes is a great professor and really cares about what he teaches. He knows his stuff and can help you to understand any of the material. He will sir and help through labs and with notes too. If you actually care about learning and broadening your knowledge he is a good choice. Just go to class and study and you will have no problem passing.

Mr. Hayes is a really great teacher but you have to understand how he works. The test questions are very involved. He is there to help you and if you have question he will answer it. He genuinely wants you to succeed but you have to put in the WORK and TIME. Study the notes and the book... DO THE BONUS(DO IT). Your grade will reflect your efforts.

He's not as hard as everyone says. Show up to every class, make an effort. DO NOT MISS LAB! Make sure you do all the extra credit its basically a letter grade. I maybe studied an hour for each lecture test 2 for lab test and did all the extra credit and made a B. I failed it the first time bc I didn't do any of that! I love lab playing w/ pathogens

He is a good teacher but the lecture tests, lab tests, and pathogen quizzes are tough. Very tough. You have to study so much and still won't make the grade you should get.

Mr. Hayes is an amazing teacher who really helps guide your notes. He has in depth drawings in notes and it really helps me visualize and keeps me interested. He has a great personality and is extremely intelligent. Also it is important to do the extra credit because it can literally bring your grade up half a letter grade. I would take him again

Ill begin by saying that youll only do as well as the work you put in. Make sure you look over the outline and key terms as you progress each chapter, and read your textbook and powerpoints. ALWAYS ASK QUESTIONS DURING LECTURE AND LAB. IT HELPS. You will partner up in lab. Solid professor and good practice for your healthcare coursework.

Hayes was one of the best professors I have had at Southern Union. I took him Fall 2019 and he was great. Before I took the class, I was nervous because all of the reviews on here, but he is a great lecturer and he draws out things in class on the board with color to help you. If you read the book and pay attention to lectures, you will do good.

Mr. Hayes is more of a field scientist than a college professor. He often goes into tangents about random interesting things which if you love the subject can be great. BUT this was BY FAR the hardest class I have ever taken. Our class had well below 50% pass. SUPER HARD TESTS AND LAB EXAMS! If you don't love biology this isn't for you.

Micro with professor hayes was a very intimidating class for me, i was on the verge of dropping the class because I had a D. But the lab notebook & extra credit saved my grade and I ended with a B. Very hard tests, I failed all of them but the home work and pathogen cards helped bring grace up. He is not the most accessible out of class.

This class is not as bad as all the reviews say. The lectures are long and you will have a lab almost every single class, so be prepared. His tests are difficult but if you take notes and actually pay attention in class, you'll be fine. The lab notebook and extra credit will bring you up a whole letter grade so def try to do good on them!!!

Very nice and incredibly knowledgably about biology, but he's got the worst test of all time. Not only are they just difficult but we were rarely given any info about specifics to study for on lecture test. He tried to make his lectures more engaging with the occasional story (which were actually always really interesting) but they were rare.

I have taken two classes with him, one of them microbiology. He is a phenomenal person and professor. The labs made his classes super interesting. His class is not easy by any means, and the tests are hard, but if you put the effort in, show up to class and do the extra credit, you will do very well.

Please do not let the other reviews on Mr. Hayes intimidate you. He is a hard professor, but does not just fail you. He provides roughly 250 points of bonus for just showing up to class and completing one bonus assignment. Show up to class, study hard, and use quizlets made by previous students.
