dont take any class with this guy

He's awful! The guy is just bizarre! He goes on these tangents and you don't know if he tests you on it or not...it's just messed!

This teacher has very useless and random lectures. His notes do not contain enough information, and what you need to know for the test is UNCLEAR. Too much is expected from this class. DO NOT take it from this prof, but i`ve heard other teachers for this class are IMPOSSIBLE TO UNDERSTAND. Be careful.

This professor loves to hand out 1% assignments that he deems "easy" which are extremely difficult and will require hours of time to complete. His class time is a waste of time. His marking is unfair. The workload in this course is about 3x heavier than any other course I've completed and I'm in my last year of a science degree. Do not recommend hi

Although he knows his material well and he is a nice guy, he is not a very good teacher. He is unclear in his explanations while teaching. He does provide notes, which are somewhat helpful in their content (however, they are messy).

Don't take this class unless you have to; if you have to, I'm sorry. This is the biggest waste of your time. You have to go to class because he does in class questions, but whether you pay attention or not you will still have to teach yourself the material on your own time. Worst. Class. Ever. I was a bio major but switched because of this course.

Worst professor I have ever had. Nice man, but scatterbrained. Disorganized/non-linear lectures that are useless to got to but you have to because of clicker questions. Tested on the extensive notes he posts on moodle (only teaches 1% of this in class). Many students fail midterms. He didn't teach me anything. I taught myself this whole course.

His lectures are hard to learn from. He looses his train of thought often and gets sidetracked, but you have to go to class to get your iclicker points. If you study his notes really well then the exams are doable. The average of the second midterm was only 52% but by the end of the class he scaled up the class.

Lectures provide no insight into what is actually going to be on the exam. The lectures are boring and not the least bit engaging. He's not encouraging AT ALL, and provided a speech before the final that increased stress-levels. He does not explain concepts but rather just states what you should know. Does create and post helpful notes though!

Brent's tests are awful. They are a combination of random science facts, details, and application questions where he gives marks for ridiculous "common sense" answers. Sometimes his questions are hard to understand as well. Memorize everything there is to know about science and read his mind and you'll be fine. RIP ME

He is one of the worst profs i ever had. Saving grace is he gives word docs with decent notes... But the notes page and the power point hes teaching does match so it doesnt even matter. Going to lecture is useless because he rambles on about random stuff.. Labs are fun but good luck trying to learn anything.

Brents lectures always get off topic, he always talks about burgers. today he went on about a chocolate factory that had nothing to do with bio. He always explains stuff that has no relevance to his tests. study his online notes hard cause the tests are hard.

Brent is brutal. please find a different prof for this class, he talks about everything but bio

Brent seems like a nice guy, but his tests are impossible. I even tried asking my lab instructor what the answer to one of his test questions were and he didn't even know. Brent's lectures have nothing to do with bio, he always talks about burgers.

Brents notes online are very good, but they don't explain anything on the tests, his lectures are boring and he always tries bringing in excitement in the room by talking about burgers. nobody cares about the burgers as they all want to learn!

The lectures were all over the place and the slides used did not match with the notes provided. The notes were excellent however the lectures were poor. The lectures were pretty boring and dry. I love bio and this class proved to be a disappointment because it didn't excite me anymore. Brent also was extremely rude to a student who had midterm Qs.

Worst prof ever. Goes on random rants that are irrelevant to bio. Gives details on personal life we dont want to hear.

One of the worst. Don't take him. Lectures are awful and he just talks at you. Try to avoid taking him!

Not good, can NOT break concepts down or explain well. Lectures are all over the place and lecture slides do not match up with notes given, would NOT recommend

Brents teaching style is horrendous. The lectures would stir you away. Most of the time in lectures, hed go off tangent. His tests were horrible as well. I had Im in Bio 1010 as well and he was horrible. If there was another prof teaching the course, i would of taken it with them.

I am going to avoid taking another class with professor Selinger for the rest of my degree. Very difficult to follow in lecture, he does provide word documents to help you study but he often reads them word for word during lecture and does not actually teach the material. Lots of learning was done outside of the classroom. Nice guy, bad prof.

You won't know any material if you don't go to lectures, even if lectures don't help you

Brent made this class the hardest class I've ever taken. Inconsiderate, made tests impossible on material not from lecture nor textbook, and did not give us close to enough time on midterms. No sympathy because he "has a photographic memory". Don't bother asking him questions because "you should know this". Don't take a class with him

I will try to avoid taking another class with him again. As an online class, he treated the zoom classes like office hours and then ended up cancelling them. he was never clear on what was required for testing and was very vague in answering questions. Overall, try to avoid a class with him

Professor treated online learning like a vacation. He only gave midterms and any course material from his lectures meant little to nothing. You could go to his zoom lectures (if he decided to come) and it wouldn't help with anything in the class. Also, all of his midterms are 60 questions in 60 minutes and the final is 120 questions in 3 hours.

Brent treated online schooling like a holiday. His attitude that online learning was easier than the in class learning led to him giving insufficient times for midterms and the final. Which in the lecture portion midterms and finals are the only things that count toward grades. He was very inaccessible to e-mail and would frequently cancel Zoom's.

The absolute worst professor that I have ever had. That seems like an over-exaggeration, but he treated this as a vacation (as others have noted) and hardly shows up for his Q and A sessions (if he doesn't cancel them) and sends out a mass email after every test stating that we didn't know the material well enough. I wonder why......

Literally the worst professor I've had. As if the materials weren't already complicated enough, he made it impossible to get a good grade for this class. His exams are impossible, Finals are 120 questions under 120 minutes since he said it was 'fair game'. It's only considered fair game if he actually did teach.

This class was one of the hardest classes I took at uofl. I spent weeks studying for every single test only to have not enough time to even finish it because of the rediculous time limits. The amount of stress from this class was way more than it was worth for the credit. I got in trouble everytime I asked a question. Don't take this class.

Honestly this class was a joke. He acted as if switching to an online mode of learning would automatically make things easier for students. His recorded lectures didn't seem to provide any help at all, neither were the 'textbook notes' he provided. Furthermore, you are graded by two midterms and a final exam (as well as the lab).

He was the worst professor I have ever had. His exams were difficult. The first midterm was more questions than time. Always cancelled q and a's.

Professor Selinger was not a good professor. He would read word for word off the slides and never really go into depth on what we were learning. He would constantly give attitude and end the Q and A's which was unacceptable if you ask me. The test were crazy hard and the final was so hard to the point that most people failed it.

The worst professor I had this year, showed little regard for the success of his students. Exams were extremely difficult, and you were given a very short amount of time to write. He was very unapproachable, often cancelled Q&A sessions and degraded students who asked questions. I would avoid a class with Brent at all costs!

Another teacher could teach you more in a day than Brent could teach you in a whole semester. Save yourself the tears and take something else.

terrible lecture videos, montone, hard to follow and never went into depth about anything but somehow each chapter video ended up being 120 minutes. condescending and laughed at us during Q and A sessions. Very very low class average (which isn't something to brag in class btw) . Very confusing questions on exams and too short of a time limit.
