I don't know what people are complaining about. Yes his notes have a lot of information on them but they're made so you don't have to read the textbook which saved me a lot of time. His questions are all from his notes and his tests are fairly easy for a 3rd year class. Given it was his first year teaching, i'd say he did a good job presenting.

Easy class with straightforward exams, but lectures are long. He does not give breaks and he drones on monotonously while reading directly off the slides. Do not need to attend lectures or read textbook to do well.

Extremely knowledgeable. Great speaker. Brought sexy back to Biology. Also trustworthy. I went to the washroom beside him once, he didn't peek once. Took the class twice just to catch the things I missed when I was sick

Once stumbled into a lecture of his by accident and was compelled to take his class. Direct and clear. Would work at subway right now if he was the sandwich artist professor. I once got lost in his eyes for 6 hours and it was just a picture. When Google has questions they "Baillie" it.

Helps you if you ever need help and his notes are amazing. Everything you need to get 100% is on the slides right in front of you, so I guess in that sense you don't have to go. However I would recommend going as he asks questions and helps you understand.

He puts everything that you need to understand about the subject on the slides. The information is clear, well-organized and he explains everything well. Exam questions for the midterm were straight from his notes, and the questions were relatively fair. Didn't realize how good Landon was until the second prof started "teaching."

Good prof and does a great job teaching. Super helpful guy if you ever have any questions. Everything you need to know is provided in the notes and his tests are very fair. Whoever has been complaining about his exams, they clearly have not been studying his slides.

Be prepared to memorize his slides. Maybe it's time for me do something else for a living, probably be a hobo then take all this responsibilities of life. I'm feeling unstable and at lowest point of my life. Loved this class though :)

I did many classes with him in the physiology and all of them were awesome. Don't think you will get over 90 without studying but you must be sure that he is reasonable and logic in the material and the exams He is willing to help the students all the time. Materials are clear. His teaching is interesting for me. Respect the students. I go 94.

I really enjoy this prof. He only tests from his slides. He however is a little sneaky and will test you on information that is in a picture and not written on his slides so you have to make sure you thoroughly understand diagrams in his slideshows. His tests can be tricky but if you study enough they are easy. He also uses tophat which I like

Very clear lectures. Really reiterates points that are important. Allows time for processing concepts, doesn't move too quickly through the lectures. Young and down to earth, so his examples are relevant and entertaining. Would take his class again.

I can't say enough good things about Landon. He is a great educator, however, this course is difficult and requires a lot of time and effort. Landon never tests you on something he doesn't teach. All his exam questions come from his slides and is exam is fair. I used the textbook to supplement lectures, but not necessary.

Landon is a great prof! His tests are very straightforward and fair. Everything he tests on is directly from his lecture notes. He does a review class before every midterm and really emphasizes what he is going to test on. The course is a heavy load, so it is hard yes. But, he does a great job at making it manageable.

His notes are scattered, but they are almost entirely from the textbook. 95% of his exam questions require recognition of broad concepts (rote memorization of his powerpoint slides). The remaining 5% require reasoning and/or remembering small details. Uses Tophat questions in class and puts 1 - 2 of these on exams. Solid presenter. Approachable.

Landon does an excellent job, as a student you can tell he wants you to understand and be successful. He is very engaging and goes out of his way to accomodate sucesss. If you are attentive and listen well in the lectures you will be successful.

Landon is a great prof and knows his stuff extremely well!! However, the course is difficult and you have to put in the work to get a high grade. His notes are great, but it can be helpful to reference the textbook when the material gets confusing or overwhelming.

He uses TopHat which is an easy 5% attendance grade, and contains questions that will likely show up on exams. Going to lecture is beneficial because he does a great job of explaining complex diagrams. Tests were fair, the final asked a lot of more general questions. Make sure to know the difference between L and T type channels!!!

Landons an amazing professor. His lectures were very insightful, and his class was truly a pleasure to be in. This class takes a lot of diligent studying, but the material is enjoyable and Landon presents it in an intriguing manner. Definitely recommend taking a class with him.

Landon does a really good job of explaining tough concepts and will review anything in depth if someone doesn't understand. He used some humour to lighten the lectures which was nice. You could tell he really wanted everyone to do well. Study the slides (not textbook) and you will do fine. Would def take again!

Thanks for everything Landon. First uni class that really interested me and made it easy for me to pick a major. Such a chill guy and super fair on exams. Great way to start the morning even if its way too early. For sure going to miss coming to this class every MWF next year.

Landon teaches the class very well for the amount of content that has to be covered. The textbook is a great resource, but you only need to study the slides. Make sure you understand and not just memorize the information, there is alot of content so start off early. He also explains things beyond the slide, so dont skip. Overall, a great prof.

Probably one of the smartest people I've had to teach me. He explains concepts so well and with much eloquence that its like he isn't even trying. His exams are fair, and make sure you study from the slides! Very approachable and responds to emails well

the material of the class is super interesting, the tests are fair/straightforward. the class is well taught

His material is pretty straight forward. His tests are a bit challenging but they are manageable as long as you learn everything off of his slides (he doesn't really test on the basics of any subject really).

Great prof. Course material is tough. You will do better if you go to class; although it is not mandatory. All multiple choice.

Landon is the smartest dude I've ever met. Amazing lectures, but it is just SO much to learn. Keep on top of the class to do well. Final is easier than the midterms which is nice, but it being a year-long class makes for a lot of content. He's amazing tho, and the content is very interesting! 5% participation bonus is nice too.

He's a great professor, he teaches the material well and makes some pretty hilarious jokes throughout some lectures. The course itself moves quickly but he does a good job of keeping a steady pace and gives many opportunities to ask questions during lectures.

He did a great job for such a heavy 2 term class. His lectures were 100% helpful, and you dont need to waste $200 on the textbook if you attend class and study from his lecture slides. Couldnt really emphasize what you needed to know for the midterm/final because basically everything was important. Will sit down and go over your midterms with you!

I took PHSI 208 online with Dr. Baillie and I have to say that it was a good overall experience for my first online class. Make sure you study hard, there are definitely questions that tripped me up on the exams.

Landon is an amazing prof! His tests are very fair, he responds quickly to emails, and the textbook isn't needed. Don't memorize, just focus on understanding. He handled the covid-19 pandemic well. He clearly stated all course changes by email well before the final exam, and also made the final non-cumulative, identical to the other midterms.

Landon Baillie is a great prof to have. Although there was some backlash from some students from the way he handled COVID-19, I believe he did what he thought was best for the students without making it a breeze for us (which is something a prof should do). He's always willing to answer any questions and was very clear when describing expectations.

Landon is a good prof. Class isn't hard at all, just content heavy. Would suggest buying textbook to help for the online assignments, and lecture capture makes good for review. Only suggestion is sometimes difficult to know what you are expected to know. Overall great class, also handled COVID-19 well.

Amazing professor that I would highly recommend. He gave very clear and informative lectures and was always willing to go over a concept again if you did not understand. There is a lot of content to know for this class, but he does a good job of breaking it down and spends time reviewing before midterms.

Amazing prof who really puts in a lot of effort into his teaching! He is easily accessible outside of class! The course is very heavy so stay on top of everything and you'll be fine! his exams are fair and straightforward if you study! memorize and understand everything!

Dr. Baillie covers all the material that you need to know in his lectures and notes however I found the textbook useful for understanding the concepts better. I thought that the 80 question final in 80 minutes was fair and if you study well then it is more than enough time to finish. He was better than other BMSC profs regarding remote learning.

The final and midterm exam were not too difficult. If you studied the material consistently throughout the semester and took the time to understand concepts rather than memorize, an 80+ was definitely do-able. My classmates clearly don't know how to take timed exams. 1 min per question is more than enough time! The tutorial sessions helped a lot.

80 questions in 80 minutes on the final exam was more than enough time. Interestingly, no one complained about the midterm (which had 40 questions in 40 minutes). Don't let these reviews fool you--if you put in the work, you'll get a good grade. Understand concepts rather than trying to memorize them and attend the tutorials if you're confused!!!

I dont understand students that complain about the time to answer questions: in both exams ( midterm and final) you had to answer a multiple choice question in one minute. The reality is that you dont need more than 20 sec to answer the question ( that is if you know the material). As a professor he is truly extraordinary- a very good prof!

I don't understand any of you bagging on Dr. Baillie. Man gets through a metric tonne of information quickly, clearly, and in a concise manner. Yes the information is heavy and yes the lectures are dense, this is just the nature of CPPS/PHPY though. I loved Dr. Baille's teaching style and wish he taught more upper levels PHPY/CPPS.

Honestly, Dr. Baillie does a fantastic job of breaking down complex physiological mechanisms and pathways. Is the class hard? Yes. You will def need to put in the extra time to truly understand the material. But Landon does not make it harder. People who say tests are fair most likely didnt study or didnt study well enough.

This is a hard class but you can be successful by reading the textbook and paying attention to slides. Everything you need to know is in the slides, so don't blame Prof Baillie if you don't do well. He is happy to help you outside of class with concepts you're struggling with.

Took the online version of this class and attended a couple of in person ones. It is way better to take his class in person from what I observed. Also, the learning objectives for the class really help in studying the material. I think Dr. Baillie is pretty fair with grading. He also responds to emails fast which is nice.

There's a ton of content in these classes but it's possible to do well if you memorize literally everything plus understand the interactions. Both courses take a ton of time. 207 is tough all the way through, first half of 208 is easier but gets tough again after the midterm. Landon explains everything well, there's just a silly amount of material.

The lectures get a little dry at times but he has a ton of material to get through. 208 is easier than 207. Baillie does a great job of getting though the material, explains everything fair, and the tests were as expected.

Good and very intelligent prof. 207 and 208 has so much detailed information and hard concepts. It's definitely possible to do well in the class. The course is mostly based on the final and midterm, assignments are a small portion of the course. I found the exams very difficult. He really made the questions hard and the wording very difficult.

Amazing prof, but its a hard class.

Had him for BMSc 207 and 207, and definitely one of the best professors I've ever had. He explains everything very clearly and goes into enough detail to understand everything but not too in depth that you get confused and miss the main idea/topic.

Explains everything very clearly, and the tests are extremely fair but a little tricky. As long as you study the powerpoints and are able to explain the processes you will be fine on the exam but some questions require thinking outside the box.

He teaches and explains the material you need for the exam very well. The course requires a lot of work and you need to have a good understanding of the material to succeed. Very test heavy since the marks are mostly coming from the midterm and final. Exams are a little tricky but overall a pretty good teacher.

Great professor. Good notes and knows when to stop explaining to not confuse the students (explains just enough). Exams are tough and heavy (its a 40/60 class). You have got to understand the material as a whole - blatant memorization will not take you far in his class (although it is required). Watch the lectures super attentively and study lots!

Landon is a great professor. He explains stuff thoroughly and knows when to stop to not confuse second year students with such complex material. Watch his lectures VERY carefully and take good notes. DON'T JUST MEMORIZE (if you do, you will do horribly) - UNDERSTAND THE INS-AND-OUTS OF EVERY CONCEPT. Awesome prof! Tough class though!

One of the best professors Ive ever had in university. Explains everything clearly and gives us all the information we need to know. The hard part is studying and making sure that you know everything in the slides, the questions are reflective of the course content for sure, just make sure you know everything - even small details and numbers.

Amazing professor. His lectures are clear, and his slides include what you need to know. There's no need to read the textbook because he is very thorough in his explanations, and exams are fair game if you studied enough. He talks fast, so be prepared to have to attend lectures and take limited notes.

His lectures are clear, and he explains concepts in enough detail that the textbook isn't necessary. Learning objectives are suitable for testing your understanding, but doing well will require you to understand concepts AND memorize facts. Not very accommodating in terms of midterm exam scheduling. Otherwise, good prof.

Good prof who knows the material very well. I would advise future students to understand concepts (the framework) rather than memorize because the tests can be very tricky if you only memorize.

One of the most straightforward lecturers I've had so far. He makes expectations for what you should study on the exams clear. Sometimes the wording can be confusing, but otherwise fair. The online modules in particular were presented well and the post lecture panopto quizzes are a nice touch to help confirm your basic understanding of the lecture

good prof... u ll need to work hard for the course

Baillie gives really fantastic lectures and thoroughly explains all topics. His exams are very fair and if you understand, not just memorize, you will do completely fine as he only uses his lectures as testable material. I would reccomend doing the assignments so you can have some weight taken off the midterm and final. Overall really solid prof!

Landon is a really great professor and had fair exams. I agree that the content can be challenging at times, but just understand the concepts and apply the knowledge rather than memorizing them and you'll realize that the exams themselves really aren't that difficult.

Great professor and lectures, he really wants you to do well and answers questions effectively. Show up to all the lectures, and participate in the assignments/poll everywhere (without looking through your material to be able to see what you need to prioritize in your studying) and you'll do great.

Landon was the first professor who made me understand the core concepts of physiology. He made my years of university physiology classes make sense. He gets into the "why", which is extremely useful to understanding complex concepts. He's very fair and his tests reflect his content. No surprises, as long as you understand the basics! 10/10 prof

Had Dr. Baille for 207/208. Dr. Baillie is good at lecturing and delivering content but when it comes to his exams, they are awful. The exams are difficult because some questions are asked in a confusing way, resulting in a lower score than you would expect. The only fair exam was the 1st midterm of 208, which he said was "too easy".

Dr Baillie knows his stuff and delivers the content needed to do well in the class. With 208 its hard to know what the important stuff is. Study everything (unless he says you wont be tested on it), all fair game. Show up to all the lectures and do the participation and assignments to take weighting off the exams (which are hard and confusing)

Best prof ever!!! I admit this class is quite detail orientated but if you understand the basic concepts and then study the details of each concept quite thoroughly, you should do exceptionally well in this class. Active recall is key in this class and Baille's lectures really help you understand the material really welll!

This professor is amazing. His lectures were exceptional and he was able to explain difficult content clearly. He was always open to answering questions and was extremely accommodating. He wants his students to do well, and has four different grading schemes to ensure that students get the highest grade possible. Take this professor.

explained hard topics in very understandable and simple terms. overall in teaching skills, amazing. The tests are hard! you have to have a deep understanding of the material rather than memorize it. They are not impossible to do well, but it does take time. excited to see him again in 208

Landon can test pretty hard, but it definitely feels like he's helping prepare you for harder courses. He dishes out true understanding over simple memorization and illustrates how interconnected the human body is. Getting a good grade isn't too hard if you keep up with the material. DO THE OPTIONAL ASSIGNMENTS they're very helpful.

He's honestly very good at explaining topics to make it interesting. Tests really aren't that hard if you try to link and understand concepts rather than just memorize.

Honestly, people who do poorly in the course likely have issues with their own study methods or dedication. If using a method to at works for you, great marks are more than achievable. Bailie makes lectures enjoyable and links topics wonderfully. Very easy to understand concepts.

If you do the assignments, participate in the polls and study, you can do really well in this class. Questions on the exams are pretty straight forward and you should understand them if you know the content, which he makes sure to explain really well and uses different methods to do so. He'll explain it by using numbers, graphs and by description.

This guy is one of the best profs at Usask. His tests are hard but everything is based off stuff he teaches in lecture so its fair. He's also always accessible after class or through emails which is nice. I would happily take this guy with any physiology class

Dr. Bailie's ability to breakdown difficult physiological systems into “roles” in which specific structures (that often have tongue twisting names) made my learning experience great. Through the details of his lectures, you will notice the subtle but incredible works (though details are only general at this level) that human body is capable of.

Landon is an amazing professor. yes BMSC is a very hard class but Landon teaches it very well. he breaks everything down and his midterms are always on content we have learned. make sure you study all the diagrams and words on the pictures he inserts because those are fair game for the exams!

He explains topics very clearly and with personal interest. Also, must attend his review session before exam, pretty straightforward no trick questions!

I really enjoyed bmsc 207 and 208! I actually think the tests were quite fair, the finals were a bit tricky but nothing that wasn't covered in class. It is a very content heavy course, but if you use the recorded lectures and make sure you have good notes you can do well. He also has participation and optional assignments to boost your grade.

He is very knowledgeable. The structures of exams are based on verbal, text (from images), and text information. The course contains heavy material, brace yourself as Dr. Baillie goes over the contants really fast. The exams are straightforward but also requires critical thinking moment. Personally, his lectures are fun and easy to understand.

He is very passionate about the content and has a deep knowledge for it, his lecture slides are well made and organized and he provides a plethora of resources such as lecture recordings and live zoom meetings which gives you the option of learning at your own pace or context. Hard class though so be prepared to study.
