Good Prof., always willing to help a student. Easy to understand and works with you so you understand. Realizes cutting up a cat is not fun and tries to make is as easy as possible.

great teacher!

i love this teacher! he does all these little things to help us remember the material, the tests arent bad and there is no homework. the class is hard to begin with but he really tries to help you. i would definately recommend him and i just wish he would teach BI152!!

Great teacher you will do fine if you pay attention read the book and take notes. He is a really likeable guy and makes biology interesting, I dont understand everyone elses dislike of him. I have learned a lot with him.

You cannot be a lazy student and expect to pass with flying colors! Prof. does a great job keeping the material interesting and it's up to you to study it. Do not take this class with a full schedule.

Hand-written notes. Not like other classes where you memorize it all and may forget later. A lot to cover ~so stay focused. Dont miss class! There are essays, fill in blanks on every test some r for extra credit. If you read all the material you should be fine. The best class for students who have time and a goal to really understand microbiology.

Great teacher, one of the most interesting classes I have ever taken. I don't why people hate him, maybe because they actually have to do work in Community College maybe?? If you try hard you will do fine. His tests are very detail oriented so you really need to study hard. However, he is a great guy and has a real passion for teaching biology.

Mr. Scully really knows the subject matter which is very impressive.He is very willing to help students outside of class.He asks the students to study an unreasonable amount of material for each exam.He refuses to narrow it down even a little bit.He gives no syllabus and gives one to two weeks notice for exams.Frustrating in many ways.Don't take.

Amazing teacher.

Hard teacher. Be Prepared to work with him. Great teacher but this class almost killed me

Good teacher, really knows biology and has a passion for it. I would recommend him he makes class interesting and is very willing to work with students. Exams can be difficult but a night of studying was all I needed to get an A for each exam

SCULLY IS THE MAN! he is one of the best teachers ever! he makes sure you understand the material. Great teacher.

He is very engaging.However, he was very unorganized.The online test was very unfair because most of the material is never even touched in class and the website is non-functional.I worked very hard and attended every single lecture but still made a B.He is a good teacher but his family issues should not be spared at the cost of a student's grade.

had him for bi110, bi112, and bi230. great teacher, very helpful. talk about Mrs. Scully and kids in class, very funny. makes good examples and cares about your grade. there to help with anything, even if it's not class related.

One of the most interesting and fairest teachers i have had. Test can de challenging but scully teaches very very well and if you have a question he will have no problem answering it. He for sure loves micro. and does a good job at making sure you understand it

he is a great person and can be helpful but his exams are really hard. some of the material on the exams was hardly talked about in class. it is very easy to fall behind in this class. even if he knows what you are talking about and you are correct, he will mark you wrong unless you put it exactly how he wants it.

awesome!

EVERYTHING on the exams is talked about in class. The last 2 exams had homework packets and if you did the homework, the answers to the tests were right from the homework. Sometimes can be slow to respond to questions via email, but a very good teacher.

Rushes through some lectures so he can say he taught everything. He talks about advanced placement classes a lot so I think he may design his classes for these particular students. Students hold him in high regard for his knowledge.

He went through all material that was on test. I found his test challenging but very predictable, he tells you whats on the test. I highly recommend taping his lectures, it's an easy A if you do, I took this along with A&P 2 and 2 other courses.

Great professor and knows his stuff. Tests can be pretty tricky but he grades fairly.

Good professor. He does use power power points well. Uses illustrations to help clarify things. He tells you exactly what you need to know. I learned alot in his class and recommend to everyone. Don't be fooled though This is still college it's not going to be easy. I had him for BI 110 and 112. And i'll have him again for BI230

Scully is awesome. His course prepared me so well for at least 4 other courses. His exams are thorough but he tells you exactly how to get an A, and I spent my Sundays following his directions and guess what, I got an A.

Great teacher. Had him for BIO 1 and 2. Did well in both his classes. he uses powerpoints so you always know whats in his tests and the info matches whats in the book. His tests can be tough but what do you expect? It is college. luckily he gives a nice curve to the tests as well.

the truth.hes very nice.help you with anything. but reads off the powerpoint alot.if have a job or a full time student good luck, will be inpossible to get any higher than in the c.i would not recommend him .its to many powerpoints to study and the test are hard. i would study 4 days straight and i still couldnt get higher than a border line b.

Professor Scully does use powerpoints but it will only help you. If you study the power pioints show up tp class and study by reading you text, notes, flash cards etc. you will do great. Your in control of your grade not the professor.

He really knows his stuff! He's extremely nice and very patient, I very much looked forward to his class. I'd highly recommended him, you'll get a lot out of his class. YES, the tests are difficult, but just read the book, study the packets, and pay attention in class and you'll be fine! Also, do the mastering, this helped me tremendously!

Basically a positive experience. It's freshman bio, so it's not going to be too profound. Takes things a bit too seriously at times, but is a remarkably nice guy. Doing the homework is helpful, as a lot of test questions are directly from it. The material is almost all physiology/medical stuff-the ecology parts are just covered quickly at the end.

His tests are fierce. Prepare yourself, and prepare to not do well. I failed my first before I understood his method. Remarkably nice guy, very clear in his teaching, always willing to help no matter what.... DO THE MASTERING! Seriously, it will save your life - AND READ THE BOOK! It'll be the hardest A you've ever earned. But worth it!!

1)Do the MASTERING MICROBIOLOGY assignments. 2)Pay attention to what's going to be on the written sections of the exams (HE TELLS YOU). 3)Start studying at least 4 days before the exam. 4)Congrats on your well earned A.

Excellent teacher, actually cares about biology. Is very fair, will give you the grade you deserve. That being said, read the chapters, do the mastering hw, and participate in class discussion.

You have to put in the work, its not easy however I really enjoyed this class. I have never studied more for any other class and I received an A. You just have to work for it. I learned a lot in his class that I will be able to retain because I was forced to learn instead of memorize. I recommend his class for people willing to put the work in.

Prof. Scully is a great bio teacher. His tests are tough but if you do MasteringBio and read the chapters, you will do well. He is willing to explain the material if you missed anything during the test. He also gives a heads up on what will be on his tests. His lectures are fast paced but great. His class prepared me very well for A&P 2.

Scully is one of my favorite professors. He encourages participation and attendance is strongly enforced, but i missed a few classes and skipped a few HWs and still got an A because i knew my stuff. he is a very fair grader and just a fungi (fun guy ha ha micro joke)

Clear grading, very caring and intelligent. Always finds a way to relate the material to the real world. Knows how to teach, has clear english and honestly the best professor I've ever had.

Awesome and fair

Professor Scully gives you an outline for each chapter which he goes through step by step in class. He also hints at specific things that will for sure be on the exams. If you know and understand the outlines and do the Mastering homework it is not too hard to get an A in his class.

Funny & enjoyable in lecture! VERY knowledgeable in his field! He covers dense material quite quickly in his Bio II course. Also, end of semester was RUSHED to fit chapters. WARNING: Study A LOT for exams!!! 55 minute exam contains 40 multiple choice, 10+ fill-in-the-answer, and several essay/short answer questions. Be prepared, or you will tank.

I took him for micro and I absolutely loved him! He is very clear. If you follow the class, pay attention, you will get an A for sure. College is hard, so it's wise not to think of better grades without studying. If you study, you will definitely make it. He is very much caring ! Gonna take him for rest of my bio courses which he offers !!

Professor Scully is one of the best. He really knows his stuff. The tests are only incredibly difficult if you don't study -- when I studied, I whizzed through them with 20 minutes to spare and got consistent 95s. There are five tests and regular online homework. Keep up and go to class (take decent notes, don't just go) and you'll do well.

I honestly never hated a professor in my life!! I regret taking his class, and having him as my teacher. His test are hard!! Please watch out!!50 multiple choice, 15 fill in the response, and 5 short answer in 50 minutes. They need a new teacher for biology, because he is not it.

Professor Scully does not f around. He naturally receives hate on this page because he makes you work for a course that is supposed to be a challenge. This man earned the SUNY Chancellors award for a reason. He understands the course material thoroughly and cares about his students. If you have no choice but to take it with him, you can do this!

I think Professor Scully recieved more hate than he should've. I took this class while taking Calc181 and A+P1 and he did an amazing job while teaching. Yeah he went on tangents and was late alot, but he really cares about his students and knows his stuff. Those who did bad didn't put the proper amount of effort into this class and blame him.

Keith is a genius at your service. He puts so much information and concepts together in one place - I feel like I'm years ahead of other students by being in his class. He puts is "A game" on for each lecture - very funny and caring guy. He is the professor you want if you take college seriously and want a solid foundation

Honestly the best professor I have ever had. I've never heard him act annoyed by questions. Yes, you have to read your textbook - that is part of taking a college science course. The college bookstore is there for a reason. Very funny and engaged professor - nice guy.
