nice guy, a bit disorganized but good teacher and easy to talk to

Awesome person, not so good teacher. He is monotone, very hard to stay awake, and I love biology.

excellent teacher, great knowledge, awesome fellow

he's a nice guy, but very boring class and lectures. Just study the notes he gives and understand it and u should do just fine on the mid terms and quizzes.

Totally easy to understand and narrows information down to the main points.

Brilliant prof. This instructor definately knows his stuff. Sometimes hard to follow but he will stop and explain if you don't understand. Learnt a lot.

A very very good teacher!!!!!

incredibly intelligent instructor. I really enjoyed and learned a lot from this class!

This guy is the best!! So easy going and has precise and clear notes! Everything you need to know is in his notes so no need to read the text. He doesn't even count spelling mistakes during quizzes or tests!! All quizzes or tests are multiple choice with a few fill in the blanks. REALLY easy! If you're good with memorization, TAKE HIM!!

had him in the summer. he is a wonderful teacher. his tests aren't too bad, you just need to study his notes. gives out weekly quizzes which really helps. tests are all m.c. and quizzes are m.c. and fill in the blanks and he is a VERY clear. i highly recommend him.

Bridges is awesome!!!It might be a lil borin in his class and makes u fall asleep easily but his tests & quizzes r easy(if u study)... He's nice and patient.. Easy to talk to.. he tries his best to help u pass the course... u're LUCKY if u hav him as ur teacher!!!

Dr. Bridges is such a sweetheart! He is extremely helpful. He is interested in your success and being fair to the whole class. If you have him consider yourself lucky. If the tests or quizzes were too difficult, he scales the marks and adds major marks to your exam paper. Once he evn added another 6% to everyone's tests. Awesome.

he's good teacher, but wonders off topic sometimes (that is, he starts talking about stuff that's not part of the course, but still interesting) and for that reason always tries to cram the rest of the lecture in the last 20min. easy tests.. MCs.. you get your results the next day.

Dr. Bridges is one of the best teachers I've ever had. He's so caring and an absolutely humble individual. Goes out of his way for students - never met a person who knew sooo much!! He's also very, very handsome and sweet!!

Michael is a great biology prof! If you can take his class take it becasue he really knows his stuff and his notes make studying really easy:)

If you want to learn patho and also pass it, go for Michael. A real teacher - knows his stuff and understands students. Highly recommended!

He's a total sweetie! Very knowledgeable and always willing to help his students. An extremely fair marker.

The course content itself is very challanging but Micheal is the nicest, most helpful, and most memorable individuals I have ever met. He goes out of his way to help his students and makes them his top priority. It was my favorite class of all time because of him.

Great teacher. Very helpful and caring towards his students. Fair and generous marker. Tests can be really tricky but what can you except, most people taking Biology are going into Nursing, so he wants you to know your stuff.

Michael is one of the best bio teachers. He cares about his students and tries to make things easier for us. A quiz every week, but it really helps you review for the test. I would gladly take him again if i had the chance!

Honestly one of the most genuinely nice teachers I have ever had! favourite!

I took his 1190 bio class. He is definitely one of the nicest teacher I have encountered in a long time. He is very helpful and he definitely knows the contents of what he's teaching. He truly cares about his students, and i find it very rare to find a teacher like that now a days. He is a fair marker. I highly recommend taking his courses :)

he's a gentleman:amazingly nice and polite and always willing to help you out with your diffculties!however,the course material is dry and boring( it's TONS of physiology that u have to MEMORIZE),so the 8.30 am class was a bit challenging,but Micheal couldn't be held accountable for that!u r great Mike!oh,ul be lucky if u get Sandy as the lab prof!

I took him this term for 1191 as well. HE IS THE NICEST PROF I'VE EVER MET! His lectures are extremely boring though, but he gives you notes. And all his exams are MC, and they never go beyond his notes. I totally recommend him. And he is always willing to help you out if you need. Great guy!

Best professor ever. He's caring, helpful, and very encouraging. Highly recommended biology professor

he is amazing! very caring and fun! he really makes sure u understand the material! HE IS FANTASTIC! Langara needs more profs like him!

Michael is the sweetest and most genuine person I have ever met. His class is painfully boring but consistent. The tests are all MC and from his notes. It's a hard course and you can't slack, but I recommend his class none the less.

He is SOOO kind! Not only does he know his stuff, he is totally considerate of students and gives quizzes which actually help and make you study each week! His midterm is consistent with the formate and difficulty of his quizzes. Definitely one of my most favorite profs at Langara. He tries to do as much as he can for students! Highly recommended.

Class can get dry but overall Micheal is an AWESOME teacher. He truly knows what he's talking about. All his exams/quizzes are based on his notes and all MC, a fair marker as well...Overall, Micheal is a must teacher to have for BIO!

Michael is an amazing teacher. He cares about his students greatly and if you have a question he will explain it to you until you understand. His tests are mc so that is easy and he teaches very well and knows his material because he's very well educated. I strongly recommend you to take anatomy course with him bc he is the best bio teacher.

His MC exams aren't as easy as many say, the questions are mainly formatted (everything is right except: ...) Saying that, If you know his notes inside and out, you'll do great in this class. Michael's a really sweet guy and always willing to help. One of the kindest teachers I know of. Im glad I took this class with him.

One of the nicest and most caring teachers I have ever had. Weekly quizzes out of 10, and many questions on these and exam are "all are correct except", just make sure you know the notes WELL and pay attention to detail. Difficult course and lectures were very dry but his questions are usually fair. Wonderful bio teacher, recommend him!

Michael is a gentle, kind man. But his lectures are very dry and boring. He knows his stuff but is not very engaging in his teaching style

Michael is a very nice person, but his lectures are very dry. I like that he handed out note sheets for each chapter.

Michael has an unbelievable mind. If at some point in my career I have 1/2 his knowledge, I would be very happy. Yes, his tests are all multiple choice but that does NOT mean they are easy. TONS of material.

Excellent Professor! Test were all M/C but they are HARD.. Study his notes, know them well and you'll do great! LOVE MICHAEL! The best!

Michael is the sweetest human being I've ever met! His lectures can get dry but he is super organized, he provides you with all the notes for the whole semester. He's approachable during office hours and in class so don't be shy. All you nursing students take 1191 with him!!! I would definitely take a class with him again. He's awesome !!!!!!

His voice is a bit monotone but the lecture content is interesting if you can get past that. Very helpful and clearly wants his students to succeed. I dislike multiple choice exams but the upsides are it reduces any subconscious bias in grading + he gets your results back to you promptly, so I didn't mind so much. Hardest class I've taken so far.

I love michael! He's a little old school, but he is the sweetest prof and really cares about his students. He is always open to questions and tries to be as helpful as possible. He always made sure the class understood the material before moving on. As long as you study his notes really well, you will do well on his quizzes/exams. Take him!!

Love this guy. He may seem very dry and boring at first, but he is a funny and educated man. Michael knows all the material very well. His exams are all MC but that is because he finds MC to be an objective and meaningful way to test a student's knowledge. Show up to class and be an active listener during his lectures. You will do well. Go Michael!

I like Michael! He has a great sense of humour & I appreciate that he doesn't spoon feed the material- it gave me a chance to hone my study skills. I finished with an A, but I worked hard for it. Do your work, study, get help when you need it- if you put in the work you'll do fine. BONUS: he grades on a curve, the ONLY prof I've had that does that

Michael is a really caring and sweet prof. He has a monotone voice though but overall he's great when u have a question. The packages of notes is pretty heavy but theres plenty of room to write notes on the side. Overall really good prof, would take him again :). Just be prepared to study a lot!

Michael is a person of quality and is extremely intelligent . That being said , his voice is monotone and he talks WAY too fast, he is painfully difficult to follow . You are better off seeing him after class for questions, and if you do he will help! If you don't study I PROMISE that you will fail miserably. It is an extremely difficult course .

Michael is THE BEST !! Study HARD and you will succeed ! He is always so willing to help his students after class , sometimes he talks a little fast though... but he tries his best

Michael really cares about his students. The biggest challenge is how much new information is thrown at you, so much information packed into 3 months. Michael gives you note packages to help follow along his lectures. keep up with the class and you'll do great, pre-read and you'll do even greater because you won't get lost in lecture. Great teacher

Michael has a very monotonic voice and so its easy to fall asleep during his class but he can be funny too. His exams are easy but you've got to know every single detail of a topic. He replies quick and gives detailed information when emailed. TOTALLY LOVED HIM!

Here's what you need to know: -his exams & quizzes are MC (you must find the false statement), he has 4 quizzes total, lowest mark dropped -he grades on a curve -you must know all his notes to do well -his lectures are boring -he's very sweet and helpful -he tells you the exam breakdown (# of questions from each chapter) -if you ask, he will help

Michael is a nice teacher that wants you to succeed. If you're going to take his class, be prepared for a lot of handouts of notes on each of the covered topics. His lectures are fast paced but boring so if you show up to class, be prepared to be bored during the two hours. His quizzes are generally straight forward, pick the NON correct answer.

Michael is one of the most caring Bio profs you will ever get to the point that sometimes I feel bad for skipping his class. He hands out note packages and go really well with reading the textbook along with it. Tests are all mc inc. the final and he scales the class mark. Very wise and knowledgeable professor so don't be afraid to ask questions!

Michael is really caring and the nicest teacher ever; he wants students to do well which makes me feel bad for skipping sometimes. He does mark on curve, however exams are a bit challenging and you must throughly understand both the notes and textbook. Don't take this class if you aren't willing to spend hours and hours reviewing every week!

I took this professor for biology 1190 and 1191, and he is an amazing professor. Lectures are really heavy, but he hands out the package for you. All of the tests and the quizes are based off the packages that he gives. It is a really heavy course, so missing a day of studying is pretty scary. Overall, really good prof and would take again.

BEST PROF EVER!!! MULTIPLE CHOICE FOR THE EXAMS.. REALLY TRICKY BUT ITS EASY AS LONG AS YOU STUDYYY! Everything is based on his notes. STUDY EVERYDAY and you'll do well!

Michael is a very knowledgable and helpful teacher. He will explain the topic very thoroughly and answer any questions you may have.

Nearly failed the first time w/ a diff prof but retook it with michael and got an A-. Lectures can get boring since he reads off his notes but still helpful to attend. Quizzes & exams are based on his notes; MC but you still need to study hard. Doesn't take attendance so many skip but i feel bad. Hes also the only teacher who scales. 100% recommend

Michael is the best prof! he is so kind and caring. Lectures move very fast but he is always willing to slow down and answer any questions. Will talk to you for hours if you need extra help. Really wants all of his students to do well.

Michael is a wonderful kind teacher. Exams are MC based on his notes that he prints, and has ready for each class. Most test questions are in the format "all of the following are correct, EXCEPT". Reading the textbook helps understand his notes for more in depth topics. He adds 10+ percent to midterms/final! I would definitely take Micheal again!

Michael was very nice! He prints notes for you, and scales exams to ensure that his class average is always around 70%. His lectures were very boring but you'll get used to it. You have to READ tons and review your notes with the textbook right after lectures so that the info sticks in your mind. He also responds to emails quick so that's a plus!

He's such a kind prof!! LOTS of studying comes with anatomy but if you genuinely try hard and spend time studying you will do great! He curves midterms and finals to make sure that everyone passes. All tests and quizzes are multiple choice (really study details in his notes and always write extra info from his lectures bc it'll help with the mc)

1190 is a difficult course and requires a lot of studying. I bought the textbook because it was helpful sometimes but his lecture notes were very organized and usually in point form which was amazing.

I didnt have to buy a textbook because his notes are super clear and everything you need to know is on those notes. Yes, his tests are tough in the sense where one word is wrong but if you put the work into memorizing itll be worth it, you need to know all the material for 1191 anyway so either u memorize it now or later lol

Michael is a very caring/kind professor. Although his lectures tended to be somewhat dull, he was very informative! He also printed out his notes and condensed them which was beneficial for his exams. Also curved grades which was great.
