I took this professor over the summer (2010), and I enjoyed his tutelage. His lectures are informative, he tosses in some relevant anecdotes to liven up the class, the labs are simple, and the tests are only hard if you don?t review ahead of time. My only regret is that I took him for 6 weeks instead of 4 months. Get him while you can!

Dr. Randolph is immensely helpful. I have taken him thrice and love his teaching style. He goes to great lengths to elaborate on the material. His tests are half scan-tron and half essay. Don't fret about the essay though, you choose from a list of essays on the big topics of the section. If you know anything about the chapter you should do fine.

Tests come directly from lecture(RECORD THEM). As long as you listen and understand, you'll perform well in the class. For studying I played over the lecture twice and re-took notes. This is a biology course so memorization of certain material is a must. He usually has 10 MC extra credit problems on his test and short-answer questions. Easy A!

I took Randolph in an online course, and he was a solid professor. His lectures can be confusing at times, but you can watch them again and take notes. He gives a lot of videos alongside his lectures which help too. He does look at the textbook ALOT, but he explains the subject good enough that you won't need it. I didn't buy the book and got an A.

I took Randolph's Biological Issues class and really enjoyed it. It was a lot of work as there are A LOT of assignments, but it was overall fairly easy. I really enjoyed the projects he had us do and the things he wanted us to research. If you procrastinate you will struggle in this class. Do the work and you will most likely receive an A!

Professor Randolph is one of the best professors at Polk State. With that being said, this class is HARD. There is a lot of information covered in this class so if your procrastinate you most likely not do very well. Studying is crucial for passing this class. Randolph knows his class is hard and he is there to help you if you reach out to him.

If you do your work you're fine. The unit quizzes before every test are the exact same questions as what is on the tests. He also gives study guides that are super helpful. If you do your work you can pass easily. Professor is super funny.

Gave multiple lectures each week. Provided good resources for studying, and the lectures were very informational. Tests and the final exam were tough, but you will pass as long as you study and do the assignments properly.

Professor Randolph is one of the hardest teachers I have ever taken. He is bit harsh with his words and I find it to be very discouraging. He barely gives time to do his assignments and he very rarely gives multiple attempts in order for you to actually absorb the material. I am barely passing this class, and I have spent hours upon hours studying

I liked Randolph's class for biological issues, fully online. He is very clear on what to expect and what to do on assignments. 2 papers (not bad), 5 written assignments, 10 discussion posts (with 5 replies), and 10 quizzes (2 attempts). The only complaint I have is he lets his emotions control him. Stay on top of deadlines and it's an easy A

He was nice and really easy going. Had lots of personal stories from his lifetime in lecture. He can get off topic some during lecture. Tests are fairly easy. His practice quizzes are questions that you will see on your tests and there will be similar questions, short and simple on the tests as well. There's a book and videos to help study.

This is a great biology class with a lab. The MOST understanding professor I have had. The work is not hard IF you read and take the time to do notes. Studying is important. There are four modules and a test on honor lock for each module. Each lesson will prepare you for the module test. The lessons can be time consuming but are interesting.

Smart man too smart to teach BSC1010. Very discouraging prof for someone who is mentally not in good headspace he puts you down a lot. Instead of raising you up terrible excuse of a teacher His lectures are pre rec and he stands 20 feet from the camera you can't hear anything. The labs are easy, test are difficult and uses honor lock

Prof. Randolph's course is relatively easy. There are numerous quizzes, but you have multiple attempts to obtain a perfect score. The discussion posts can be overwhelming at first, but you get the hang of it after the second one. He is very easy to reach outside of class.
