He is willing to go all out with pictograms on the board to try to help you understand the subject.

Dr P Was verry helpfull if asked allways provided detailed instruction, tested what he taught not necessarly the book has extra credit prog. you get what you put into this class!

Dr. Pfeiffer is the epitome of what a professor should be. He enjoys and KNOWS his subject matter and is always prepared. He is helpful and friendly and easy to talk to. His exams are comprehensive and give you (the student) the option of just getting by or to excel by being prepared for the material. Highly recommended.

Offers extra credit. Tends to ramble during lecture about things not covered on the test. Very busy and hard to catch during his office hours

Dr. Pfeiffer is one of the best professors I have had in all my college days. Extremely knowledgeable of subject matter. Tests are easy A's if you come prepared! Pfeiffer has a genuine interest in the subject and his excitement radiates to make you interested - it definitely helps when the professor is enthusiastic about what they are teaching!

When he lectures, you can feel his energy about the subject which is nice. He tends to ramble on and on though. Some people love the way he teaches, while others say they can't understand a word he says. As for his tests, he is not out there to make you fail. As long as you know your stuff, this class should be an easy A.

This is an excellent class if you're looking to not only learn something but to be able to feel like the professor really cares and is ready and willing to help. I found his energy to be addictive, and I've wanted to take him for other classes since then. Highly recommended!

His tests were hard to study for, but if you have questions, he will answer them. Doesn't review much. Talks on and on

Dr. Pfeiffer is a very good teacher. He knows A&P extensively and does a great job of explaining information in an easy to understand method. To make an A, you must study, you must read the book, and you must attend class. It is that simple. He also gives 10 pt bonus essays on every exam and they help tremendously. Very good teacher.

I barely got a "B" in A&PI, and I was a nervous wreck afterwards. I switched to professor Pfeiffer for A&PII and did much better and was actually able to relax and enjoy the class.

If you show up and pay attention, you will do well. He tells you exactly what is on the tests.

Great instructor. The material I learned in his class helped me make an A in a tough nursing class (where most of the students are struggling just to pass). His tests are not easy, but he gives opportunities for extra credit on the exams.

Great professor! Anatomy is a hard course but he lectures very well and is very helpful if you have questions. Gives you essay qustions before the exam so you know what to write!

Pfeiffer is very nice, energetic, and great at explaining complex ideas. Tests are easy if you read all of the material, and prewrite the essay questions he gives you beforehand. Good study, and time management skills are very, very important for success in A&P 1. Sign up for his class!!!

I thought he was a great teacher. It was hard in the beginning, but I got used to it. I did have a crush on him, only cause smart people attract me. But he did do a wonderful job teaching the class,and making sure we knew whats going on.

HE'S ALRIGHT

I had Dr.Pfeiffer for s.majors I and thought he was great...but hard, he knows the material very well. His ability to explain topics and his great drawings were very helpful. We did do more work than other majors classes and he wont "give" you anything...but he is very fair and willing to help. bottom line- if you want to LEARN the material he is y

he is a fair and patient professor. i found myself in his office all the time and he was always there to help. yes, the course is difficult but if you put in the effort, you we be fine (atleast end up with a B) he will explain and draw on the board until you understand. he's got a bad rap, i think cause people dont want to work hard for the grade

this teacher is very hard..do not take him unless you are very prepared for it. you are going to realize that you spend more time studying for this class that you barely have time to study for others.i ended up with a B in the class though and i worked very hard for it

He is an amazing teacher!!! But don't think you will get a grade...he is very difficult!!!

Exellent professor. Exams are TOUGH, but homework and extra credit can definitely boost your grade. Make sure you have a firm grasp of the English language- he is quite verbose and intelligent, which can leave some people feeling alienated. Has tons of energy. I don't know what he is taking, but I need some of whatever it is.

Dr. Pfeiffer is an outstanding professor. He is very knowledgeable about A/P. He is very fair and gives you the essay questions that will be on the exams prior to the exams. I would definitely recommend him.

He is a tough. You can make an A with hard work. Go to class and pay attention.His test material comes mostly from class.He will help you understand but only if you ask intelligent questions. Don't expect to take a test and rely on recognition you will have to truly know the material.

Hard but knows his stuff,lets you ask questions and he is in office when he posts it, would take him again.

He is a good professor who can be rigid at times, but very lenient at others. I took him for both AP 1 and 2 and did well. You will have to study all the time, but he is better than most if not all of the other AP professors out there.

Dr. Pfeiffer is HANDS DOWN the best science teacher I've had. He knows his stuff, he is enthusiastic about it, and his energy is contagious. I wish I could have taken more classes from him.

He is very enthusiastic and provides an outline and examples of test questions, he will then follow the outline and go over questions. Extra credit is offered. He is available to speak to in his office too. He hates it when you leave during class so watch it! I liked him, would take him again

Hands down my favorite teacher for any subject I've ever had. The man is brilliant and almost too enthusiastic! He loves what he does and it shows. He is a challenge though so you have to keep up.

Amazing professor, knows his stuff and was very willing to help. Had him for BIO 1 for Science Majors. So helpful he wrote me a recommendation to apply for a specific program. Must study and definitely not a class for slackers who want an easy A. Your grade reflects your effort.

He is a great teacher. Not easy...but if you are majoring in science you need to know the material. I loved his class as well as his high standards. This class changed my life.

He's an interesting guy that makes class fun and a lot easier to handle. Bio at TCC NE is one of the hardest subjects I've faced and I've been to 3 other universities taking bio classes. He gets so excited about biology. I cant remember the last time I had a prof that enjoyed teaching undergrads. He is a once in a lifetime professor.

I took Enviro. Sys. from him last semester. It was overwhelming at first as it was my first semester back after a long break. Once I realized it wasn't a slacker class and I actually had to pay attention it was really interesting. He is passionate about it & he really wanted us to know the material, not just regurgitate info. I learned a lot.

This guy is mad scientist, so if you want to hang with the big dogs, this is the class for you. It was hard, but I learned SO MUCH. This is for people who love the sciences, not for those who want to scrape by. Respect is earned in that class.

It's intense, but if you're a science person, this is where you need to be.

Pfeiffer is very thorough I guess you could say, but it the best way. It is not hard, but very time consuming. You MUST read and it is better to read before coming to class so you can follow along. He gives extra information, which some might find daunting or just too much, but you learn so much more. He is a great professor. I am learning a lot!

I took him for lab and if I'm not mistaken he is the head of the department on NE campus. He is very passionate about biology and he is a bit eccentric. Sometimes I feel he's a bit disorganized and really hard grader. I do feel though that if he sees you putting forth effort he will work with you to help you succeed. He's a nice guy overall though.

Dr. Pfeiffer is the head of TCC NE's Science department, and it shows. He's extremely passionate about his profession, and if you are too I think you will do fine in class. Homework is given online which follow into later exams. Lectures can be hard to keep up with, though, if you have trouble with Biology. Very fast paced. Cautious recommendation.

Dr. Pfeiffer is an amazing professor! If you are passionate about bio, he's the one to take! Super easy grader and the classes are super interesting. He has that mad scientist thing going for him. You'll love him, I know I did!

Awesome guy, very interesting lectures. I learned a lot. Super hard short answer tests. If you wanna go into biology take him. Everyday blew my mind.

Dr. Pfeiffer seems to genuinely care for his students and likes to see them succeed.

Lecture-I loved Dr. Pfeiffer! He truly LOVES what he does! At first it was very difficult too keep up with him, but by the end I couldn't have asked for a better teacher. I'm sitting at maybe a B right now, and I accept that even though I have a 4.0. B/c I worked so hard, and learned so much! You will learn! But it is work it! :)

Lab- Wow! I am so glad it Is over! Northeast, does research projects for all there biology labs, beware these are group projects. He did a good job of evaluating work ethic, but overall that Lab is very tough, because of the syllabus you have to cover. The teacher is fantastic though, If you like biology you will appreciate him!

My favorite professor by far. The man is brilliant and corky. I laughed everyday in his class! He expects allot. I averaged 4-8 hours of just homework a week. If he sees you interacting and working hard, he is more than willing to jump through hoops to help you succeed. He saved my grade twice!

I really liked Dr. Pfeiffer. He's an excellent lecturer, that really tries to make sure that everyone understands the material. His tests aren't easy, but he is fair. There is a lot of long online homework to do though. As much as I hated it, it did help with the material. I would definitely recommend him as a professor.

Took him for a summer lab, i had to retake the class for a better grade as the different teacher I chose the first time was very strict. Very understanding, one of my lab partners made our poster, didn't share with Anyone and didn't show up at the poster presentation. leaving us hanging , he allowed us to submit it late. Would take again.

Took 1406 Majors bio... Come on people... he's supposed to be tough! He's upfront on day one in his class that it's a lot of reading and being knowledgeable over the material. He is a very fair grader and has worked with each student to help us succeed. I absolutely enjoyed his class. He really made me work hard for my grade which i enjoyed.

Had Pfeiffer for A&P I Lab. Super high energy and very genuine. Learned more from him once a week than from my lecture prof 3x a week. He goes fast, but will talk to students in small groups during lab to make sure you get it. The lab exams are very difficult but he will help you if you ask. Lab is the hardest part at northeast but he helps a lot.

In the beginning, I wasn't so sure about him, but by the end I was sad to say bye. He talks quickly and we warmly referred to him as a "mad scientist". Fun guy and very knowledgeable. Get used to the fact that the lab midterm and final will make you want to rip your hair out no matter what professor. That's your reality. Definitely take him!

Professor Pfeiffer is very very intelligent and he knows a lot of cool stuff and seems to really enjoy teaching others about Anatomy and Physiology. Lab for this class is going to be hard no matter who you take. Pfeiffer takes the time to teach you and doesn't just make you learn on your own. He makes jokes often too to lighten mood of lab!

Incredible teacher, very well spoken, great at explaining complex topics with ease. I took Bio 1 and 2 with Dr. Pfeiffer. You will be doing a lot of homework and studying for this class, but if you are on the path towards a degree in the sciences I couldn't recommend a better choice. This is a class for those with a passion to learn.

He is a good caring teacher. He loves biology. He helps students as much as he can.

He is a really good prof, and very passionate about what he teaches, however he is the most difficult teacher I've ever had. The tests are hard, the material is never-ending, he assigns MORE HW THAN YOU COULD EVER IMAGINE (HOURS AND HOURS AND HOURS). However if you want to learn & you're serious about BIO, , take him, and do the hw.

Dr. Pfeiffer is the best. If you aren't serious or passionate about your work, then don't take him. However, since you're in college, you should be serious and passionate. He is fantastic and incredibly smart.

Lots of homework and not a lot of time to complete it, near unmanageable. But he is a great guy and made learning Biology fun. He will offer extra credit for tests. Lots of group work. There will be a big group project in lab. Make sure you always show up for lab. He is very passionate and caring and will work with you if you try to work with him.

I had Dr. Pfeiffer for the first college science class I ever took. He warned us from day 1 that the course wouldn't be easy. He is a great lecturer and is very in depth when teaching the material. However, I still had to go to SI multiple times a week to grasp some of the concepts. He expects you to have read the chapter when you show up to class.

I didn't take Pfeiffer for lecture but I took him for Bio Lab and it was great! He is very clear and what you need to know and gives lots of help and direction. I have no idea why he has such a low grade other than the fact that this class would be hard with ANY teacher. Take him! You won't regret it.

Do not take this class if you are not a Biology major. Alot of homework, but you will learn in the end. Read the text book. If you read the text book and review the material then the class and tests will not be a challange. Do not take if you are simply satisfying a science credit.

Dr. Pfeiffer was amazing, BEST Biology instructor I've ever had. If you really care about your studies, he will make sure you pass the class. But you need to work for it, and I mean, WORK FOR IT! He was always available in his office hours, if he needs to explain the same thing all over again, he will. He is a big fish in a small tank, a GENIUS!

Professor Pfeiffer was one of the hardest professor's I have had, HOWEVER he makes you fall in love with biology and teaches you how to work really hard in college. Looking back he is responsible for making me choose to become a biologist. Highly recommend if you are serious about your academics.

Dr. Pfeiffer is one of the best teachers that ive experienced in my life. He gives amazing lectures, cares about what he teaches and is an all around awesome guy. I will admit that this course expects a lot from the student. Alot of homework and reading but it will help in the end. Tests are multiple choice with a free response at the end

He is passionate about biology! He makes the material come to life with his excitement, and he is willing to help out when understanding is difficult. He assigns a lot of work, but I really learned in his class, and I appreciate his obvious love for educating others in the field of biology!

Dr. Pfeiffer is a very smart and friendly professor. His passion for biology shows in all of his lectures and he takes the time to answer any questions you have. I definitely worked for the A i got in the class but his grading is fair and if you put in the work you will pass.

He is extremely passionate and well versed in all the "ins and outs" of Biology. Definitely recommend if you have a passion for Biology and you plan to make a career out of Science. His class is a lot of work and you have to work hard for an A but it is possible to get that A if you are engaged, dedicated, and put in hours of work.

I took him this semester despite some negative comments on here. I personally think he is fair with work load and does try and help his students. The first three weeks will be hard but if you keep pushing you will learn so much from him. He is a passionate Professor and you will actually learn and know the material by the end of the class.

This class is hard but Dr. Pfeiffer is an incredibly knowledgeable professor. He answers all questions and goes in depth until you understand. It took me a week to get used to his learning style, but once I did, I really enjoyed his lectures. Come to class having read the chapter in advance and be sure to study his reviews and you should be good.

I took Professor Pfeiffer for Bio 1406 & Bio 1407. The first few weeks of 1406 were an adjustment but after you learn what study methods work for you, it's a lot easier. Go to lecture and study good for tests and you will do fine! I personally loved his labs, you get to learn a lot about the research side of things if you're interested in that.

Students who take biology with professor Pfeiffer might think he is hard, but all the other professors give the same material at tcc northeast. He has easy tests if you actually study the book and take the practise tests. The lab is easy to follow but you must study before attending them if you want a good grade on the post quizzes.

The first few weeks were a hard adjustment but once you understand the structure of his class its not so bad. The tests aren't whats hard, its the workload. His tests are very similar to the practice tests & the open ended is the same as homework q's so pay attention to that. hes a little disorganized but great professor & is passionate about bio

Prof. Pfeiffer is a bit unorganized. If you want an A, put the work in & read the textbook before class bc it's a HEAVY workload. Exams will require a lot of stuff from textbook & lectures stories. He also gives opportunities for extra credit. He is passionate about biology (like a crazy scientist) and understanding if you communicate.

Professor Pfeiffer's class can be a challenge, but engaging with the material and using study tools like Unstuck ai make it manageable. The workload is heavy, but his passion for biology shines through. Attend lectures, utilize the textbook, and you'll do well.

Dr. Pfeiffer's Biology 1406 class can be tough, but as long as you pay attention during class and stay on top of your assignments you will do well. He offers group extra credit opportunities and will not count some heavily missed questions on exams.The class is memorization-heavy and fast paced. Expect a quiz, paper, or exam at least every week.

His class is definitely an adjustment at first, but you get used to it. He's very knowledgeable, and when you ask a question (especially in lab) he always takes the time to explain things thoroughly and make sure you understand. His class isn't necessarily easy, but he gives you a lot of resources. Also, reading the textbook will be very helpful.

Dr. Pfeiffer is a challenging professor, but he really cares about his students. Was always understanding when people needed extra help or time. The homework load is heavy, but that means there's a lot of little assignments helping your grade out, so you can struggle with the tests and still be ok. Highly recommend using study group extra credit!

The material is hard but he is very clear with his grading. If you communicate with him he is really sweet and willing to work with you and he post all the material online.

Very passionate and understanding guy, very dense workload (submitted lecture notes, 4+ lecture quizzes, pre/post lab quizzes, written hw assignments, exams, and a self-led experiment), make sure to prepare before class (read the textbook/prepare for lab), utilize a study group for exams, you HAVE to put in the work to keep up, use every resource!

Dr. Pfeiffer's class is tough, and sometimes you'll feel overwhelmed by the amount of homework. But he's also incredibly caring and willing to work with students who need help. The practice test is very representative of what the tests will be usually, and he adds a good amount of extra credit to your test grades if you study in a group.
