He's one of the most helpful teachers I’ve ever had. Its not an easy A but if you work hard you will get a good grade. He gives test reviews that literally cover the entire test. And he even stayed after class with me for over an HOUR to help me understand the material. I DEFINITELY recommend him. And he’s got a nice English accent to boot!

He is a nice guy, however, he doesn't cut it as a teacher. There is a lot of difficult material to cover in a small bit of time, and he doesn't do a good job of helping you understand the overall concept. You will work hard all semester, and you'll feel as if it's for no reason. As a person, he's cool; as a teacher, not the best.

He is a nice guy and a great teacher. very helpful, and gives clear explanations. Course is hard, but work hard and it pays off. Good extra credit work, but time consuming. If you want an easy pass, don't take this course at all (with any professor!!!). He does not read directly from the book, but information in lectures comes from the text book.

Dr Hollier is a wonderful teacher, he is every students dream teacher! He explains things until you understand and does not make you feel stupid. The tests are good as long as you keep up with your work, and definitely do the end of chapter questions. This can give you 25% of your grade, and really prepares you for the tests.

He is soo helpful, and cares about how well his students do. he offers lots of extra credit, so you have plenty of chance to pass (but you have to work for the extra points).

Dr Mark is an excellent teacher, he understands and listens to the students, is flexibile, and allows you to earn 25% of your overall class grade in a non-exam setting (although this means a lot of work).

The lab class, while not easy, compliments the lecture class quite well.

He gives every chance to make an A with multiple opportunities for extra credit. There is a ton of work in his classes but if you do the assignments and study as he recommends, you will have seen the information 8-9x by the time you get to the test and will actually have learned it, not just memorized some fact.

You will have to do mastering a&p as homework. He also gives extra credit in mastering a&p, whatever you make on that he adds to your overall test grade. Usually when he repeats himself, that information will be on the test. KNOW your important topics, those are also counted as extra credit. He knows his stuff and is very helpful.
