Good, fun teacher. Is very understandable
He is so HOT!! His wife is very lucky!
He is a really great teacher! He's nice and actually has his notes printed up so that you can purchase them. His tests come directly from the notes so you dont have to read the book. The lab tests are fair and nothing to have a panic attack over!
Aaron is a wonderful teacher. He makes Biology fun, and you actually retain the information. :)
Mr. Aaron is amazing. He goes out of his way to help the students in his class. I had him last year and he was by far my favorite professor at Shelton.
mr. aaron is awesome... one of the best teachers at shelton
I REALLY ENJOYED THIS INSTRUCTOR!!!! TAKE HIM, AND YOU WILL LEARN AND HAVE FUN!!!!
very nice teacher and gives extra work so you can pass hes class very cute when he talks about his krispy creme doununts bring him one and he will be your best friend he thinks they are the best thing invented
Very good teacher. Really enjoyed his class. My favorite professor in college.
Mr. Aaron is very helpful and easy to understand!!
Awesome teacher. Really cares about his students and their lives outside of school.
Mr. Aaron was a great teacher, and he was very helpful. If I had the opportunity, I would love 2 take his class again.
If I had the opportunity, I would love 2 take his class again.
He was very helpful.
Mr. Aaron really taught me a lot.
Mr. Aaron was a great teacher. When he teaches, he relates it to everyday life. I really enjoyed the check-ins.
He was the best teacher EVER!!! he truly cares about the material he teaches and you understanding it!!
I'd rather take him for all my biology classes than any other professor
If i could have taken him for all of my biology courses..i would have. The material that he gives will be essential to you and your field. Straight forward information. Loved him!
A man of God who has a heart & compassion for helping people. He gives u notes to study by & that u can fully understand. His tests comes directly from his notes. He's a very honest & patient teacher. I love him for that & recommend anybody to take his class, u will definitely learn a lot!!
He is nice and helpful
Great teacher. Makes expectations clear and is enthusiastic. Gives lots of quizzes so your grade isn't just dependent on a few big tests, and you are motivated to keep up.
Fantastic teatcher. Wish I could have had him for every bio I took.
Probably one of my favorite professors ever. He really captured my interest and he was helpful and always willing to take the time to discuss topics ensuring my clarity
My favorite professor. He was always so helpful and explained everything so well. He is so nice and always tells corny jokes but everyone loves him! I learned so much and I didn't even realize it because he makes it so easy for us! Overall GREAT guy and class. I recommend for everyone and anyone.
He is a good teacher
Mr. Aaron is a great teacher and he is super helpful. He has great notes/ reviews available for you on his page for you to print out ( make sure you do that) His test are very hard make sure you study a lot. The labs are easy but make sure you study for the lab test they can be tricky. He also gives lots of quizzes but drops your lowest ones.
Mr. Aaron was easy to follow & understand. He wants you to do well in his class & gives short quizes each week to help with your grade instead of just the 4 main test. His tests are straight from his notes that you print out from his webpage. This is a hard class to take, but Mr. Aaron makes it easier than any other teacher would do.
Great teacher! He is very down to earth and really cares about your grade. He gives quizes everyday and lets you drop the lowest two. On his website there are notes and a study guide with possible essay questions for each test. If you study it should be an easy A.
Greatest teacher ever taken at shelton state quiz every wed help you stay on track not to fast does a check in to make students feel more welcome must take him!!
Absolutely wonderful man and teacher!
DEFINITELY not "easy" but he is, in my opinion, an EXCELLENT instructor. He gives thorough, downloadable notes, is very approachable and helpful and tries to make learning the material FUN.
Anatomy is not an easy course but Dr. Aaron makes it as painless as possible! If you go to class and pay attention you can make an A. He is very helpful and actually wants to know his students. I'm waiting for another semester to take 202 with him. Definitely recommend him!
GREAT TEACHER! not easy but great at what he does! posts great notes online and does Q's every week to stay on track. he wants you to understand stuff and is easy to listen to and follow (also has great stories haha)you MUST get the book. YOU WILL USE IT EVERY DAY. highly recommend him as a teacher.
He is a great teacher and very funny
Mr. Aaron makes the material so easy to understand. All of his notes are available on his website. He is a very helpful teacher also. He creates a great environment that makes you really comfortable in his class.
Hands down, the BEST biology teacher at Shelton!!!!...highly recommend his class!
Dr. Aaron is the best professor I've had in the three years I've been in college. That's with all of the UA instructors I've had included. He is so good at making the material interesting and understandable. Highly recommend his class!
Very easy, but of course you had to study because in medical terminology you have to know the terms for the test and the test are not multiple choice but half of the test is a take home test so it is very easy.
DEFINITELY the best teacher i've ever had! Dr Aron is so cool (just like his red mustang). He explains things well, genuinely cares about his students, and he loves what he does. I have him again this semester for Anatomy & I am so excited!
He was UA tutor for biology. His help made Biology easy for me. Dr. Mike is the greatest
He is real sweet and he is not monotoned. He doesnt force you to get into groups for lab.
I love him! He's one of my favorite professors.
Very great teacher, definitely recommend him if you're taking Biology, hilarious as well!
Great teacher! Loved his note taking style. The tests were hard for me but the quizzes were easy. He was not very hands on in the lab but talked all day during lecture. He is funny and has a sense of humor.
Great Class
Very chill with his labs and class is very open. His test are harder than the quizzes, so make sure you study your notes well. Notes are printed out, with fill in the blanks. He does not grade your labs, so you need to do well on test and quizzes for your grades. No extra credit, but has "study guides". Best Bio teacher! I'd wait to buy textbook.
Dr. Aaron has exhausting lectures and tests, but it is fun. Sit with the wrong table? You will still enjoy the other table's laughs and giggles. Mike is definitely a teacher and not a teller, loves to get to know you. Be prepared to study hard!
Aaron is an incredibly smart teacher. He knows what's he's talking about and will gladly explain in greater detail if the material is not understood. Notes are typed out for you beforehand so that you can focus better in class. Tests are straight from notes. Loved him. Will take again
Great Biology teacher! He has notes you can print out for each lesson. Questions from the quizzes and tests come straight from the notes, he doesn't try to trick you with questions.
Such an awesome teacher!! Keeps things fun and interesting!
He is an awesome teacher! Very clear during lectures and his test and quizzes are straightforward. He does not try and trick you he tells you exactly what you need to know. I would take him for every class if I had the choice!
I had Dr. Aaron for anatomy 1, and I wish I had gotten him again! He's such a good teacher. I didn't need the book, but he does reference it during lectures. Don't worry about taking notes because you can print his notes out. Study hard, and pay attention in class. He's super nice and makes it more interesting.
Super easy class as long as you study! Tests were easy. Very great teacher!! Would take for any subject if I could
By far my favorite teacher at SSCC. Great educator. Takes his time to make sure you understand. Gives you every opportunity to make the great you want. I love him. He should be president of USA.
Had his class for Anatomy 201. Great teacher, loves what he does, but glad its glad its over.
His lectures were not helpful because the test are totally different. He is not a good teacher.
Wonderful teacher to take for A&P. I had him for Anatomy I and if you studied his study guides you were bound to do well for the test. You pretty much need to memorize everything for the lab exams and quizzes were given every day but he would let you know before the day of. Definitely take him up if you get the opportunity!
Great teacher!!! You will do well as long as you study and come to class. Tests are very by the notes! Take his class if you get the chance to!
Best teacher I have had at Shelton. Took him for split term anatomy-class was fast and subject was tough but he was great, fair and understanding. Not sure what is wrong with the person below who gave a bad rating-they must not have attended class.
All you need is to print out the notes for the chapter you are on. Quizzes are weekly but exactly by the notes (10 questions per quiz) Lecture Exams are by the notes also. Has a great sense of humor and is very caring.
I took Mr. Aaron for Bio 201 and Bio 202 during the summer of 2016. I definitely recommend him if you haven't already taken these classes. He is an awesome teacher. He explains material thoroughly, so you should get EVERYTHING. A&P itself isn't easy but if you take him and pay attention, you should definitely pass the class. STUDYING is key!
Best teacher at Shelton. He makes a very hard class fun.
Very good teacher- can ask any questions and explains concepts well.
Great teacher, very approachable. Really cares about his students.
Always has the chapter notes posted on Canvas for you and will normally keep you posted on the schedule throughout the weeks. A very caring teacher who is very good at what he does. He is one of the best!
Great teacher. You always know what is going on and when things will happen. Highly recommend.
Good teacher, really funny.
Had him for online Med Term. Class was easy, complete assignments and submit to him. His class will help me with Anatomy.
Goes the extra mile for his students. Really good teacher in a hard class. You will have to study though.
Stepped in to sub our class after the teacher was let go. He was great but I only had him for two weeks. Was very fair and handled a bad situation very well.
Great teacher, love him. You must study his his notes and you will do well.
He is a great teacher. The tests are long and but if you study the notes that is what will be on the test. He also gives quizzes for every chapter which are on the notes. Go to class and takes notes on his lectures and you will pass.
Really helps you understand the material
Good teacher - must take notes in class and study. NO homework, which means you have to work harder on tests & quizzes, as they are the only grades in the class. Textbook not required.
Very good teacher-does not kill you with computer assignments.
Good teacher, must keep up with notes to make a good grade. I recommend him over other biology teachers.
Dr. Aaron is a great man in general. He is comical in class, but makes sure to teach all the material thoroughly. Each student is sent copies over all notes as well, so if you do have to miss a day you still have the covered material.
Good teacher but you got to keep up. Quizzes help you study for tests.
Good teacher, enjoys his work. Am taking again for Anatomy.
Record lectures and study hard
Ive taken Dr. Aaron for Bio 103 and Bio 201. I will be taking his class again for Bio 202 this summer. Hes an awesome teacher and explains the material very well. He answers anything youre not sure on. He wants you to succeed, but hes not going to baby you. I would recommend him to anyone!
Great teacher! I recommend you attend class. His tests are straight from the lectures so you need to pay attention and study. He is comical and makes class fun. His lab exams are easy if you take the time to look over everything while you are there. His tests are long but not difficult if you study and he likes to include bonus questions.
Dr Aaron is an awesome teacher. He is understanding, funny, caring and if you try hard you will make a good grade in his class. Would highly recommend him to anyone. I took him for A&P 1 and I am taking him again for A&P 2. I never made under an A on his exams, study hard and listen to his lectures & you will succeed.
I took BIO 201 over the summer as a transient from UA. Dr. Aaron is the BEST and while this class has a lot of material, he makes it manageable. All you need to do is study every single detail of the notes, which is really not too hard if you pace yourself. He doesn't do extra credit, but does give some freebies on the quizzes. Highly recommend!
I took Dr. Aaron for A&P I & II and he was awesome. Anatomy can seem intimidating at first but if you put in the time and effort Dr. Aaron is a great asset to put with the combination of time and effort. Would HIGHLY recommend taking him for Anatomy & Physiology 1 and Anatomy and Physiology 2.
He is awesome. He helps you understand work more clearly
Aaron is amazing. His tests are straight from the notes. If you take the time to study his notes youll pass.
-Test are hard but if you study a good bit you should pass -Labs are Very Hard as well. -Nice guy -Must attend class, it will be ridiculously hard if you miss classes.
Great teacher, tests and quizzes come from the notes
Dr. Aaron is one of the best professors I have ever had. He makes lectures and labs fun . He cares about his students and their success. Very thankful for the opportunity to have him in all of my bio classes wish he teaches micro .
I have to say hes the best professor Ive ever had. Ive had two classes with him so far and hes extremely consistent with lectures, assignments and grading. Very thorough and explains subjects in a manner that is understandable and applicable to regular life. Just an outstanding instructor as well as an incredible individual. Study!
Very nice and teaches really well. Just have to be on top of everything to pass!
Was an online class. He gave you notes and the lectures. Quizzes were helpful. Listen to videos and learn notes you will be fine.
I had him for BIO 201 and ended up with an A+. As long as you study your notes he gives you for every chapter you will do fine. Hes very nice and thorough with teaching the material.
I had Dr. Aaron for BIO 103 and BIO 201 and I absolutely enjoyed both classes. He is a great professor and his lectures are fun! He also gives examples that's helpful to remembering the information. His tests also come straight from the notes. If you study your notes, you'll do fine!
He does not give extra credit. I asked for it and got a very mean email back saying he does not do extra credit, also he never gives homework or online class work only gives quizzes and test. Test and quizzes twice a week and there was stuff on the test that was never given in the notes provided. Would never take his class again..
Really good teacher. Very straight forward-go to class and study notes and you will do well.
Biology is tough as a subject but he is a good teacher. Easy to listen to.
Like his style-easy to listen to and follow. Gives notes in canvas so you can listed to class. Explains things very well.
I have taken Dr. Aaron for BIO-103 and BIO-201. He is very clear on what we will be doing in class, and he cares about his student's grades. As long as you study and do your work, as you should, you will be good.
Make sure you are a good at taking test. Quizzes are given at the beginning of class if you are a couple minutes late he will not let you take them. You basically teach yourself.
I recommend Dr. Aaron. He tells when quizzes will be. Exams come from the notes and lectures. You do have to study a lot but he is not tricky.
Had him for 103-good teacher. You have to go to class and study the notes which he gives you. I am taking his A and P class next semester.
LOVE LOVE LOVE HIM. He is so good and caring. I would recommend taking him for biology and anatomy.
Great instructor! He is a very patient person, and is nice enough to accommodate to my needs. His quizzes are easy and they all come from the his lectures on Canvas.
He does great lecturing. Very nice, kind person. He gives a lot of quizzes some extra credit and tests.
After adjusting I loved this class. It was difficult and a lot of work but I learned a lot
Best Professor I have taken at Shelton. As long as you study the notes he provides you will be successful.
Mr. Aaron was a great teacher! You have to study because he only gives out tests and quizzes. He gives some extra credit. As long as you pay attention and study the notes, you should do well!
As long as you study you will be fine. Lectures are important, but he makes them easy to understand.
The best professor I have ever had, makes material easy to understand , gives you the why and the how something is possible. He is willing to work with you, literally will not let you fail .
Great teacher. Took him for Bio and Anatomy. You have to go to class and study the notes-tests are from the notes. Hate he does not teach Micro. Was to hear he is retiring.
Dr. Aaron is a great professor-he made the class enjoyable. Do be aware that Anatomy 2 is very hard online and during the summer.
I took BIO 201 online over the summer and it was amazing! His lectures were great, very clear, and I love his teaching methods. The best thing to do is study the notes every day after the lecture! Following the daily schedule he posts will help pace yourself so you don't fall behind. It's a lot of information but I would 100% take him again.
Best professor I have ever had.
Professor Aaron is a clear and engaging lecturer. Stay on top of the notes and you'll do well. Unstuck Study AI was a great supplement for exam prep.
