He is a good teacher. Goes over all the material very well and tells you what to expect on the exams. His exams are hard but its nothing you shouldn't be prepared for.

Regner's 189 class is difficult. If you go to class, take good notes, and study more than a day prior to the exam you'll get a good grade. Make use of his office hours. He really prepares you for upper division coursework, perfect for pre-professional kids. He has four tests, first is okay, second is difficult, third is easy and so is the fourth.

Your grade will reflect the amount of time and studying you put into this class. Difficult but he gives plenty of chances to get your grade up(lab, extra iclicker)and puts up powerpoints and past tests online. Many people complain about this class and those are most likely the people who don't go. Tests from material on slides and the book directly

GREAT PROFESSOR. Very clear about topics. Never opened book, everything can be found on WebCampus. iClicker questions are easy points. Exams are difficult, but if you study, you'll be fine.

Regner is funny, and pretty chill. Do not skip class! He doesn't take attendance but the iclicker points add up fast and you WILL need them because the exams are brutal. Do good on your lab too, it will make up for some of your grade.

Professor Regner is an excellent teacher. I don't understand why everyone keeps bashing on him. His lectures are really interesting, and he's really passionate about microbiology. If you go to class, take notes, there's no doubt you'll get an A or B. It's really not that hard, just take notes and pay attention.

This class is difficult. You CANNOT slack off. Read his slides and make sure you understand them. Don't memorize, UNDERSTAND. He's a good professor, but kind of scary to approach in my opinion. He made the class interesting because you can tell he actually likes Microbiology.

I can't believe all of these horrible reviews. His lectures are incredibly clear and easy to follow. He breaks down difficult biological processes into easy to follow steps. He provides recordings of his lectures/slides. His tests are fair and require thought-typical of a science course, right? Very nice, smart guy. I would take any class of his.

This is by no means an easy class. I was constantly studying and preparing, especially after I saw his horrible reviews. Eventually, I ended up with an A. Don't slack off! You cannot just memorize the concepts he presents to you - you have to understand. Listen to the recordings of the lectures - they are very helpful.

I agree with most of the other reviews. I took tons of Biology in high school, and I still ended up with only a B. I suggest going to class, because iclicker points are easy to get. Make sure to get at least a C on your tests, because in the end it averages out to a B. MAKE SURE TO DO VERY WELL IN LAB! It makes a big difference in your grade.

He is very big on reading the text. His tests are hard being that he words everything in a complex way. MUST read carefully questions on his ewxams. Lab grade will boost you up one whole letter grade too. Good instructor!

Dr. Regner really does care about his students. He does an excellent job teaching and you learn a lot in the class. The tests are what get you. They are ridiculously hard and you basically have to memorize everything, like small details, but he tells you some of the things to memorize. Go to Lab! That will save your grade!

Dr. Regner is passionate about Biology and you can tell. He is an extremely interesting person with a lot of knowledge. Hard hard tests! You MUST STUDY to do well in his class. He is a funny guy and nice. I rated him as hot...he's not sexy but he emanates goodness and intelligence which I find pretty hot!

one of the BEST prof. i have had, he is very knowledgable of the subject,trully cares about his students and their success(not all students percieve it that way) but he tapes his lectures-highlights important concepts that will be on exams;makes a point to provide additional resources; he is an awesome professor;study !!&review recordings!!!

Coming from a non-biology major, it's not that hard to get a B, but it's really hard to get an A. I don't think he curves, but lab boosts your grade a lot.

Kurt Regner is an enjoyable professor, he knows how to explain the lecture very well and throws in some funny comments to keep students awake. If you want a good grade, you must read the book and it's imperative to invest much time into studying and listening to the digital recordings. He can be very tricky in tests, but he still is a great teacher

I like Regner, he was one of the best BIO professors I've ever had, funny, knows his stuff, easy class if you actually study.

To me this class was hard. I suggest either switching to a different teacher, or just sucking it up! READ THE TEXTBOOK. His notes do not really help much.. also, get a study group! that will help so much.

He doesn't particularly care about his students and gives difficult tests but he is a good professor. He does cover a lot and doesn't really emphasize what's important.

It's a tough class, but very doable. He is very clear and knows what he is tanking about. He also drops the lowest exam grade. Just make sure to study a lot and read the text book. He also post PPTs online. Just study and you should be able to get a B

Before I took this class I heard everyone saying he was such a bad professor and his test are impossible. Well that is not the case he is one of the best professors I have had, he explains everything very clear and really enjoys teaching. If you read the power points and pay attention in class you should have absolutely no problems with the class.

I had heard many horror stories as well, but I am so glad I took his class! I can see what people mean about him being sarcastic, but if you pay attention and put in the effort, he does his job and really helps you learn. Loved this class!!!

I took the class twice and the second time around I learned a lot. That said Regner's tests are near impossible. I studied really hard for all of his tests and still barely passed his class. If you have a job, I would avoid him because his class alone will become your full time job.

Regner is a great professor. He is also extremely helpful especially if you go to his office hours. His tests were kind of hard but if you actually study you will pass.

Bio is not easy,If you don't study you will not pass,However i hate studying, only ever cram for 2-3 hours right before the test, got all A's on his exams. for reference i usually average a b- for bio exams.he even drops 1 of the exams, and gives an extra credit assignment. he wants you to learn, not just to show off his phd. took w P. Amy got a D

very good at what he does. Considered hard because he actually requires his students to learn the concepts behind the terms rather than giving away the answers in a study guide. You will be prepared for the next years of biology if you take his class. READ THE BOOK AND YOU WILL PASS. It's that simple with him.

I took Bio 189 with this professor, and received a C. What I lacked was proper study skills. Which is about 90% of the students taking that class. Microbiology was awesome to take with this professor! Get a recorder for both classes! Use your smart phone! Read your text! Get a study group! If your confused on a topic go to office hours and class!

It's a lot of info to absorb in a short amount of time, but the exam questions were never "tricky". They were all straight forward from his slides. Lab was actually tougher because the TA was a little strict on the lab reports, but the quizzes were super easy. The final exam for lab was rough! Study for that! I would definitely take Regner again.

I suggest recording all lectures and taking notes. ALL of his exams come from his powerpoints and lectures. Also, he allows for extra credit at the end to watch movies and answer questions on them for the final. He takes the best 4/5 Exam scores! Hes clear and helpful! Class ended up being very interesting.. Hes a diff teacher in 251 then 189.

Dr. Regner is very passionate about Biology and really wants his students to do well. He is very clear with his lectures and what he wants you to understand. He tries everything in his power to help his students. You will have to study for his class but to get an A you must know the material and expect to study.

If you want an easy A, seek elsewhere. You basically get what you put into it. He provides plenty of resources that you could use for tutoring. His lectures are really clear and he tells you exactly what is going to be on the test as he goes through the powerpoint. Test are very specific so STUDY! GO TO SI and ask questions. Good luck!

I took Regner for Spring 2014 and I did get an A in his class. The key to succeeding in his class is to read the chapter before lecture, print his powerpoints to take notes on because you will never be able to keep up with taking notes & study! He is fair & his exams are multiple choice. He even drops your lowest exam grade & there if you need help

Professor Regner was a good teacher, the way he writes his tests forces you to study and actually understand the concept. It's very interesting once you actually understand it but the hardest part is that there's no time because you have to balance out other classes too. He recommended us to take SI with Bahare and she was the best. Fun experience.

Regner is an interesting guy. He knows how to teach, so you have to be prepared to actually learn. His tests are difficult because he makes you read through the lines. I never skipped a class, because you just cannot afford to. If you read, pay attention and actually put effort into this class, you will pass. He is not going to gift wrap you an A.

It took me halfway through the semester to realize that the textbook rarely helps. His tests are based off his powerpoints, but he always uploads them a couple days before so you can take notes on them. Have a high grade in your lab because it really helps bring up your lecture grade

If you're lazy and looking for an easy A then you won't pass. Just study, do your work, you'll pass. He's not as bad as everyone makes him out to be. Do your work, you'll do great, and if you aren't willing to work for a grade then why are you even in college? I will take him again for Biol 251. If you're not a slacker then he should be no problem

I'm not sure why this guy has such a bad rep. I found his lectures to be interesting. You will have to work for your grade, but his exam questions are reflective of notes and textbook. I enjoyed his sarcastic sense of humor.

Great Professor. Lectures are very well organized and explained. Tests are straight off of his power points. Iclicker questions during class give you exam questions. This isn't high school. If you study, you will get an A on his tests.

If you go to his lectures and study at least a week before each exam you'll do fine. He gives i-clicker questions that pertain to exams and even lets students know if a certain part of the lecture will be on the test. There is also SI which I recommend you do.

Dr. Regner is a hilarious man. Class is challenging, but what do you expect ? It's a college course. There are 3 exams. Lowest one is dropped. Come to class for iClicker points (trust me, they help you boost your grade). He also tells you. in class, what might possibly be on the exams. Not an easy class ... you really have to work to get an A.

I suggest to read the book or look over powerpoints before each class if you don't have any background in Biology or else you'll be pretty lost. It's handy to print his powerpoints, because there's no time to write everything down in lecture. You'll do well on tests if you attend class, and better if you read the book.

Hes an amazing teacher for Bio 251. Just need to put in the effort. Read the book and go to lecture and you will do fine

He's a great lecturer, and even made me laugh a few times throughout the semester. Feel free to skip class if you're familiar with material being covered that day. Tests are hard but prepare you for the harder ones in upper division classes. He's clear about what will be on the exams, and also reuses some of the iClicker questions.

Professor Regner is very knowledgeable and great. However, his exams are extremely difficult bc you have to apply concepts, he will never ask definition type questions. Many intelligent ppl are discouraged because they are horrible test takers despite studying effectively. I'd learn much more if I wasn't always stressed out about his hard test ?'s.

Expect tests to be concept based. If you plan to do well you must study. Regner is willing to help if you go to his office hours, though he hates stupid questions. His lectures are helpful and hes pretty funny.

Regner is definitely a tough professor! He doesn't like answering 'stupid' questions and has a very sarcastic sense of humor. Attendance is basically mandatory because i-clicker questions are done daily and count for a grade. His tests are OK but he does drop the lowest test, and if you get an A in the final, you get an A for the class.

Biol 196 in general is a tough class. Professor Regner is a relatively good teacher, though. His lectures are helpful at clarifying the matieral, but I still reccommend reading the actual textbook if you want an A. There's three exams and a final; he drops the lowest exam score. I-clicker questions do count as a grade, but they're pretty easy.

Regner is a wonderful professor. His lectures are interesting and he is well informed about the topics he discusses. His exams are tough, however if you read the notes and listen during lectures you will get an A. Some iclicker questions do end up on the exams, and he gives hints as to what will be on the exam during the lecture.

Regner is very clear about the setup of his class. People struggle b/c its an intro bio class, so they don't realize how much they have to study. His tests are based off of ppts. If you study his lecture and go to SI when needed, you will do well on the test. I studied hard for all the tests on got A's. It's very fair, just study for the exams.

Don't waste your time reading the book. Focus on his lectures. Everything that you need to know is on there. Overall great lecturer and very fair class. Exams are not that hard if you study and understand what you're studying. Very doable A, plus you'll learn a lot since he is very knowledgeable about the subject.

Though he can be a little sassy and intimidating, he's s an exception teacher. His lectures are clear and his ppts are organized. He answers all questions. Sow up and do iclicker questions for a slight grade boost. He critiques the textbook a lot so I would rely more on lecture notes. He also reuses some iclicker questions on exams.

Although his exams are difficult AND tricky, his lectures are incredibly thorough. If you utilize his lectures as review sessions and attend SI, you will have a higher chance of passing this class and perhaps even receive an "A". Some people do not suggest reading the book, but for me its easier to understand the bigger picture if you read the text

He's a great professor but his exams are hard. Memorizing the slide isn't enough and the notecard is mostly useless. Going to SI every week really helps clarify concepts.

Truth is, you won't pass this class if you are lazy about studying. If you are serious about your major, you will get an A. Recording lectures and having a good study group helped me a lot. It really comes down with how much effort that you put into this class. Do well for the lab REPORTS since they will help to study for the practical!!!

I'll be honest, this class wasn't the most exciting class I've taken, but Dr. Regner is great at teaching it. He truly cares about his students sucess and is a really nice guy. Plus, if you show up to class you get extra credit (Iclicker). Best part about this class? The discussion is a free 20% of your grade, and it helps solidify concepts.

I passed his class, but I did not find him to be approachable. Tests were in fact nuanced and not straightforward. He does not provide any kind of review session before exams, which would have been very helpful. Don't let this discourage you from trying though! Go to his office hours though, work hard, & you'll do fine.

Dr. Regner was very clear. His exams came straight from his ppts and his lectures. The book was only necessary if a topic was unclear. He drops and exam and allows a notecard on all of them. If you show up, take notes, and review the material about once a week, you'll do great on the tests. Definitely would take him again

Was a good class. Overall the material was not that hard but applying the concepts gave me some trouble. His exams are difficult but I recommend seeing your lab instructors or going to SI if you need to hammer in some concepts. Otherwise, I feel like there were just somethings that you couldn't anticipate being on the exam.

Regner is a very knowledgeable professor honestly wants all his students to do well. But unlike other professors, he wont just give you a good grade. He wants students to do well but also really understand the information, so his tests are fairly difficult. Difficult enough to have a rule that says if you ace his final, you get an A for the class

Regner is a great professor and, although many times very sarcastic, he tries to help you the best he can and tries to provide as many opportunities as possible for you. Also, he drinks a lot of coconut juice I've noticed.

He's a cool guy, but definitely not for the easily offended or lazy. Worked hard to get my grade and that was kinda satisfying despite not getting the grade I wanted. He provides a lot of opportunities for you to get help, but he's a little curt in his emails. Exams were hard, made me question my existence.

This class was my easy class and my easy A. I didn't study too much and the questions were almost entirely from the powerpoints or discussion manual. I did terrible on free response questions. You don't have to be a genius to do well, you just need good study skills. This class is easy if you know how to study. There are much harder classes (ochem)

If you have a love for biology, you should do absolutely fine in this class. His lectures were extremely interesting and he repeats things often for you. He is also very welcoming of questions DURING CLASS (probably not the best office hour professor to visit). I learned lots. (He might throw extreme sass at you and some see that as intimidating.)

Here's the thing, BIO196, in general, is a class with a lot of information to learn in such little time. People that failed Regner's class probably were the ones that skipped class and studied only the night before. He took attendance through an app, where students have to answer quiz questions. His class is basically 98% lecture. So study up!

I could not study more for his class. I am studying 3 hrs, 3 to 4 days a week, not including weekends which is an additional 5 hrs. I attend SI and follow his tips for studying. I am a psychology major, this is a prerequisite. I want to take physiology of psychology. I am not trying to be the next Mendel. Bummer.

He's not a bad professor. His lectures are mostly clear and he always explains if you have any questions and he does quizzes during class which motivates me to pay attention and attend. He is a little curt in his emails but he seems very approachable and his class is genuinely enjoyable. His tests are very hard and not curved.

There are daily quizzes which he uses for attendance. These questions are a bit harder than the exam questions, but not always. The exams are pretty difficult. He is kinda short when answering questions. He often refers you to the book so make sure you have done your reading before hand. 3 exams w/ lowest 1 dropped+ Comprehensive final. (4 total)

Great instructor. Entertaining lectures. His exams are very difficult as many of the questions require you to analyze and apply the information you have learned as opposed to just rote memorization of facts. Attend every lecture, study the notes, and take advantage of all the extra resources he posts, and you'll do fine.

Kurt is an interesting guy. He posts his lecture slides ahead of time, and it'll help immensely if you read through them before class - he likes to call on people, and you should be prepared. As for exams, he's big on application of ideas, so memorizing isn't enough, you need to really comprehend it and know how to apply it. A great professor.

He recently started curving the grades in his class, which is awesome. His tests are difficult and you really have to work for an A. You can get by without the book as long as you have the lab manual, which might be replaced in the near future. I am not a fan of the Top Hat quiz app he uses, which costs money and is only 1% of your grade.

Regner is a good professor, I had him for 196 and 251. Lectures are funny and interesting as long as you pay attention. He gives a lot of hints of what's on the test, however tests can be a little difficult if you don't understand the material well. He is easy to understand but concepts can be hard, just requires at home study time. Would recommend

Regner is an amazing lecturer, he is clear with his thoughts. The class does have a lot of information but it is doable if you study. Go to SI if it is available for group study. The best way to get a good grade is to take good notes and USE THE SLIDES to study. Going to class is helpful for tophat (which can give extra credit) and hegivesexamhints

I heard so much negative feedback from other students. To be honest, your grade is reflected on your work. If you want an A, get ready to read, go to class, and study! His Exams in my opinion are very fair and his PowerPoints help too! Good luck and study! This is a biology class if you cant pass, you shouldnt be a bio major then.

This is my second course with Dr. Regner, I took 196 with him and now this class. I really enjoyed him as a Professor, hes very funny and if you show that you care about the course, he will truly help you, you just need to put in the effort and not give lame excuses. This was a great course if you get the chance, take it!

I throughly enjoyed this class and have the upmost respect for Regner. Not going to lie, his class is tough, especially the lab. Advice: Study a little everyday, as their is a lot of information to understand. Dont take notes in class, instead pay close attention to his lectures. Side note: Regner is hard to approach, very awkward.

Dr. Regner is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about microbiology. His slides are a bit confusing if you don't go to lecture, because most are shorthanded. He tends to be sarcastic in class, but during office hours, he is tremendously helpful. This class does require a good amount of studying, but you do learn very applicable information.

His exam questions are from his lecture (sometimes not on PPT, but pay attention to what he actually SAYS) as well as the websites he emails frequently. Exams are very straight forward, and short answer portion is easy as long as you pay attention to the RED words in his PPTs. His class isn't super easy, but if you put in the work, it pays off

Though the class is undoubtedly challenging, Regner is a good and respectable professor. Study hard for tests, the amount of work you put into this class will reflect on your grades.

I had Dr. Regner previously for Biol 304 and people only say that class is hard when they don't study or come to class. He really is a great professor, really funny (semi-nerdy), and genuinely cares about his students. This new Phage Discovery class gives you real hands on experience and is very laidback. Overall a great time and I recommend.

Regner is a great prof. and explains the material thoroughly. Students who are complaining about him probably never studied. Go to class, pay attention, study and you should have no problem getting an A. He's pretty funny too which makes lecture more enjoyable.

Dr. Regner has clear grading criteria and is very caring. He wants the students to understand the concepts and is always ready to answer any questions. The exam questions are straight from the lectures and if you pay attention to what he says, the class will be interesting and challenging (in a good way). His class is for people who like to study.

He goes really fast, but always asks for questions

Professor Regner definitely has a tough class, but I thought he was a great professor and he knows his stuff and is good at what he teaches. He offers several extra learning resources and is available for extra help. If you study and work hard you'll be fine. I'd definitely take him again and recommend him.

I dont know why so many reviews say he is condescending with questions. Every few slides he will pause and ask if anyone has any questions. He always answers to the best of his ability. Not once did I hear him be condescending or rude. Its a tough class but not impossible.

Its a Typical bio class. Dr. Regner is really good about meeting with people and answering any questions about tests, etc. love his class!

Bio 196 is a difficult class but Mr. Regner lays out the information in a way that is easiest for me to understand the topics. His class, as all biology classes, require you to take notes, read the textbook, re-read lecture notes, and use outside information to get a good grade on the exams. His office hours and SI hours are really beneficial.

Class is based on his powerpoints, defer to those for studying. Its is no where near as hard as people make it out to be. Kind of like AP bio with a bit more information. Guy is snarky occasionally, which is hilarious. Take it in good spirits, humor for thick skinned. I think he has a hard time understanding why people dont get the concepts.

Most, if not all, of the questions from straight from the powerpoints and diagrams that are done in class. Make sure you write down the answers to the iClickers because they tend to show up on exams. Very accessible outside class, smart guy who knows his stuff. If you struggle with concepts, find him in office hours. He's hilarious. DON'T WEAR RED.

Dr. Regner does seem like he makes this course a lot harder than other professors, and may come off as a jerk but he genuinely does want students to learn (he just has very high standards). Although it was a very hard class, I learned more than I could have asked for. Go to SI sessions and take notes on I clicker questions. He makes you earn it.

Only had Dr. Regner for the first half of the semester but he was great. Powerpoints are straightforward and he makes sure to add fun little trivia on the side just in case you're bored. He picks on people whenever there are discussions, but he won't force you to answer if you say you don't know. Study the slides for exams early b/c there are a lot

Only had him for half the semester, but I wish I had him the whole time. He has a great sense of humor about biology and makes it clear about what you need to know for the exams. He's very straightforward and has clear expectations; he loves famous experiments for exams questions.

Regner is a very easy going, friendly guy. He knows the material he is teaching, but be wary of asking questions, as he usually cant answer them... He makes the material very easy so keep it easy. Be careful, as exam 1 was very easy, and exam 2 is much more difficult. No study guides, make your own and dont use the textbook as it is useless.

Not the easiest to converse with, however very knowledgable with 196 concepts. Class is not without difficulty. Make the most of 196 lab, study regularly, read the book, attend class, ask questions when needed to him or the SI & you might surprise yourself with how much you'll learn. Good teacher, straightforward, but you need to put in the effort.

Many people reviewing this professor don't take into consideration how hard the class itself is, Regner makes learning in this class much more convenient if you're really paying attention as he notes what topics will be on the exam. A good grade is more than possible to achieve with his lectures just like any other professor.

He's not as bad as the ratings says. Go to class, re-watch the lectures and do the assignments, which were actually the annoying part, and everything he says is on the test is really on the test.

Great teacher! A lot of students really hate him but I think if you want A, take his class. a).dont buy textbook, just buy access code. b). Only study powerpoint+Lecture videos. Some say his questions are tricky but they aren't. c).Some reason his lectures makes me really tired.

He is a very easy and fair professor to take for Biology. As long as you rewatch his lectures a few times you will get a good grade. Tests are based of lectures entirely. Curves exams when class median is lower than 76.9%. One of the easier professors to take for this course. If you put in the work you'll get the grade you deserve.

Dr. Regner is a great professor and only wants students to succeed. The textbook is useless just buy access code. To prepare for exams review and understand the concepts in the lectures that are posted online so you can re watch. He also points out the written responses that will be on the test. Attend SI and office hours and you will pass.

Couldve gotten a better grade if I spent more time. Uploads his lectures and barely uses the books. WATCH THE VIDEOS/MOVIES!! Tophat quizzes every class for participation, helps grade. Just take time to really study powerpoints and you can get an A. I had him for bio 196 and did not like him. But hes much better in 251! Very passionate about micro.

Professor Regner is an amazing professor. Biology 189 does not cover easy material so don't expect an easy A in any BIOL 189 class. However, he made it less difficult. He records all of his lectures for you to access later and lets you know what he will expect on exams, which are very straightforward and not meant to trick you. I recommend him.

Tough class but I think his lectures are clear and really easy to follow. He gives you iClicker questions that are straight from the exam, save them and the answers and study them. He also gives you pointers in class on what exact diagrams you need to know for the exams. He does panopto recordings so you can watch it if you miss a class.

I hope you don't trust the reviews that rated him poorly. The class is only hard because it's a transition from high school bio to college bio. His exam questions are fair and only asks you things that are covered in class. He's extremely helpful during office hours and wants you to learn. Has dry/sarcastic dad humor. He's a good prof!

I've taken Regner for multiple classes and he's honestly really good at teaching. He's very clear on the things that he wants you to know. He makes the material smarter and not harder. Exam questions aren't tricky as long as you study the ppts and take good notes/pay attention. He's funny and is very helpful in office hours.

Please don't be afraid of all the bad ratings, he really is NOT that bad. His tests are straightforward, he uploads all his powerpoints to Canvas, uploads all his lectures to Canvas, and gives you review sheets to prepare for tests. Very solid professor, pretty funny at times too.

Mr. Regner overall is a great professor to have for Bio 189. His lectures are exactly what's on the test. He helps curve the test which is helpful! He is funny and sometimes can be "sarcastic". You can be nervous to ask him for advice but don't he means wells! Go to S.I.

Regner is an amazing BIO189 Professor. The iClicker questions are very much helpful when studying because he talks about it during class to get to the answer. They also will most likely be part of the test! Attendance isnt required since he post lectures online but go to class for iClicker points!

I honestly dont understand why he has such a low rating. He makes the class a lot easier than what it is and hes definitely someone you want to take for 189. During his lectures HE WILL TELL YOU WHICH ONE IS ON THE TEST. His clicker questions will also be on the test so take notes. He lectures good, STUDY THE SLIDES. He also reads RMProf LOL.

I was super scared to take him because the reviews were so bad but I was pleasantly surprised. He makes it clear what he wants and even curved the tests so I think the people who complain are the ones who wanted an easy A. It's not an easy class but put in the work and you'll do good. He also cares for his students and sends out tons of resources.

Kind of confused about the negative reviews. Hes a great lecturer and tells you whats going to be on the tests. Hes good at explaining things. No surprises. One of the fairest professors Ive had at UNLV. Personally didnt use the books at all just used the lectures + notes & studied them!

After the first day in class I didn't show back up to the lectures since attendance was not mandatory. I watched lectures online, and most at 1.75 or 2x speed. Watch the lectures a couple times, take notes, and do a bit of studying, and should walk away with a B or better.

I'm not sure what the negative reviews are about. Dr. Regner is very straightforward. There are three lecture exams and a final exam. Textbooks are optional, all test material comes DIRECTLY from the lecture slides. If he highlights it or circles it during lecture, take the hint, you'll see it on an exam. You have to put in the work to get an A.

Yes, the class is challenging. Microbiology is complicated. Period. 100% of the tests are from his lectures, so do not skip lectures. I learned more from his class than from any other class I took. The lab was easy, I learned a lot, and it was fun. His class requires some discipline to study, but you will do great if you take school seriously.

I saw all the horrible reviews and was terrified of taking this class, but he ended up being decent. This class is straightforward, exams are STRAIGHT from the slides, and if you have a good memory you should be good. The bad thing is that he doesn't have additional work to help with grades, so STUDY.

He's pretty straightforward teaching wise and has a dry humor which I actually found funny sometimes. There is no other work except the exams but I actually liked not having any homework due. The exams are directly from the slides so as long as you put in the time to watch the lectures, take notes, and study, you'll be fine.

Hello, I've taken Dr. Regner for BIO 207 and 217 (currently). He is often given a bad rap on rate my professor, however, I would have nothing but praise. He has sass and is blunt, however he truly cares about his students and his straight-forwardness is refreshing. If you have been hesitant to take his courses, then this is your sign to enroll.

I am currently taking this professor for Bio 217 and he is great. Assignments are easy to understand and straightforward. They don't take a long time to do and the class is an easy A. He's very funny and the class is a great time. Always excited to go to class! Don't listen to the bad reviews, he's fantastic!

If you show up to class youll do fine because he goes through whatever information is on the slides and gives easy examples of them. He only has three grades in the class which are the exams but he also has a thing where if you get an A on the final the entire grade changes. His exams are pretty straightforward and he wont do any paper exams.

Professor Regner's BIOL251 class is challenging but rewarding. The exams are tough, but if you attend lectures, study the slides, and use tools like unstuckstudy ai, you can excel. The material is dense but engaging. Overall, a worthwhile course.
