Good teaching style.

HARD TESTS!!! He is helpful with questions but test format is hard!

Holy-wah! Tests are impossible!

Great teacher, i really liked him alot but i noticed that kids that dont have any biology background do horrible. If your in pharmacy dont worry about it cause you should do fine, if you in some other program. LOOK OUT...

This is the hardest class I have EVER taken!! Ryan's a great professor though. He is just very difficult. I would not recommend taking his course unless you truly understand Medical Microbiology or just like to be tortured!!!

Yeah his tests were hard, but he had like 17 point curves. I did not get anything below an A in his class. I figured out my grade without the curve and I really should have gotten a C. He is also funny too. Great teacher. I would take him again.

Favorite class ive ever taken. I loved this guys class his test kinda messed up but i Aced all of them. If your in Pre-Pharm this guys easy. IF you not get ready to struggle

I loved Ryan. Take good notes, study them well, and you will do fine. Everything on his exams comes from the notes. He curves by about 15% and gives extra credit. He's really fun and makes lab is easy. You get out of lab in 30 min usually. Easiest bio i've taken yet.

I love ryan! He's funny and his labs are really easy, it's just that his tests will kill you! They are from the notes so take EXCELLENT notes and study them hard and a lot and you should do well in the class!!

I loved this class! He makes the class interesting, and his dorky sense of humor is hilarious. The tests are right from lecture notes (you don't even need the book), he lets you tape lectures, which definitely helps. He usually adds at least a 10% curve to each test and labs are a breeze.

Honestly everyone on here that is complaining never studies. His class is tough, and his tests are extremely hard, but its a good class if you want to learn the stuff. You must go everyday, its not policy, but its almost required for passing. His sence of humor is funny. He is a realy good teacher!

This professor is extremely intelligent. I ended up with a C- in the class because I hardly ever went to class and I never studied. This class is difficult but if you put ALOT of effort into you, you should do fine.

i never once opened the book, or looked at the notes, and i got an A in the class. He talks about gohhnereha of the eye, and whipping your bottom in the wrong direction. :-D~

he says things in a way that will make you remember them forever. this is one class that i have retained all the material i learned 2 years later.

Great teacher !!! Class can be intense but Will help when needed !!! Do study questions and go 2 lectures and u r destined 2 do well !!! Love this guy ... take in summer if can !!!

if your pre-pharm take him, so easy. just write good notes and study them. tests are matching, and just matching. give extra credit on test. labs quick and easy. if you do bad, you might want to try memorizing with more effort cause thats all it is. easy easy easy

Dr. Ryan is an awesome professor.I suggest getting a tape recorder for his lectures, it really helps! Take good notes and you should be fine if you study! He also has a curve and gives up to 5 extra credit points on all tests.

good teacher. not an easy a, there is a little studying involved but its not bad at all. he tells you exactly what will be on the tests, encourages you to tape the lectures, labs are super fast and he's got a way of making things stick in your head. lots of stories that are related. very good. take if possible.

Doesn't require a textbook but recommends a tape recorder, curves every exam up to 15 points, labs hardly ever go the whole time... all in all a pretty good class!

he sort of rambles a lot and i'm not sure what he says if they are notes or not just a little confusing.

Good teacher, but tough. It definitely helps to record lectures because he talks fast. Study hard for tests and you will do ok. It's not easy unless you put in the time. Exams are matching, but don't be fooled, they're tough.

Ryan has lots of stories for you to understand what he is talking about.He is helpful and emphasizes on what will be on exams. Your job, to do exactly what he tells you and you will ace his exams. Curves are very high (15%) so if you get 75, you'll end up at 90% and bonuses. Take him over other Franklund. He only has exams, no weekly quizes,etc

I love love love Dr. Ryan. His class was so much fun, he had great stories and gave super good notes. His class was my hardest during my semester, but i loves it. The best way to ace it, is to make charts, and get into study groups. He's so laid back, anyone will love him.

Amazing professor! He gives the practical application of what you're learning, showing how it is important in the clinical setting. He is extremely knowledgeable and tells you waht to study for the test, so if you study what he tells you, you will do fine.

Brilliant man! He loves what he does and definitely makes class interesting. I have to record all of the lectures though to make sure I get all the info. He talks fast. Make sure to make charts and study a long time before the test. He is always willing to help and will tell you almost exactly what is on the test. The curve is huge too so that help

I loved his teaching style. He repeats the main concepts to make sure that you write them down if you didnt get them before. In lab he's very clear and straight forward. He tells you what to do then you do it and can leave. I highly recommend him.

His lectures are awesome. He makes things clear and is funny. It's not dull. He expects you to know everything. His tests are extremely hard, so make sure you spend a ton of time studying. But he curves like crazy, which helps a lot.

He definitely knows his stuff, and the history that goes behind it. Take notes fast b/c he talks fast and the tests are kinda hard. Just pay attention in lab if you go, (you dont have too) and the labs are super easy. I always get out in a half hour.

I really liked this class and thought the material was really interesting. The only thing that bothered me was the difficult way Dr. Ryan gave his lectures and the format of his tests. He doesn't follow the text book and the questions on the test are pretty tough. It's definitely a class that you have to work at. I felt frusturated most of the time

He is one of my favorite professors even though he goes off topic it some how always works back to the topic at hand. Great guy and I wish i could have him again!!!

This is a really hard class. But if you study and go to his office to look at tests and ask question you can pass. He curves every test to a class average of 73% and gives 5 bonus questions. He goes off topic. If you have lab it's mandatory but you get practice for the practical and he sets everything up and you can take pictures too study.

I would not recommend taking this class Freshman year. I took it Freshman year, and still had Senioritis from HS. This class is a type of class you have to study everyday in order to pass. I found that out the hard way after the first test. As long as you work hard and study your butt off, you should be able to pass this class with at least a B-.

Dr. Ryan is a great guy. The class (and his tests) were tough, but he prepares you very well if you pay attention and keep good notes. He's willing to answer any questions you have. He likes to tell side stories, but they usually pertain to the material he's covering. He knows his tests are hard, and curves very generously.

Dr. Ryan class is hard but he lets you know that coming into the class. His test are difficult but if you take good notes, tape his lectures attend all classes and study hard you will pass them.

Is his class more challenging than most? Yes. However, he tells everyone in the beginning if you think just showing up to class and taking notes will get you an A, you're wrong. His class takes dedication, and time. He is a good professor and it is not impossible to come out with an A if you are willing to work for it.

I though Dr. Ryan was an excellent teacher. Very knowledgeable and yet sometimes vague on particular subjects. As long as you make study tables, watch tegrity, and attend SLA every week, you will pass with the grade you expect.

He's really good! you just need to do what he tells you to do and you will pass.

He curves all of his tests to a class average of 73%. We got mainly 10-22% curves on the 4 tests.

Dr. Ryan is a great professor. Lectures can get a little boring but EVERYTHING he talks about it relevant even if it seems like he's rambling. He tells you exactly what is going to be on the exam, extra credit on all exams and has a curve so getting A's is very possible if you study! DO NOT buy the book

Get ready to study. He gives you a copy of each exam, with just the answers, so You have an idea of what will be on the test. There are 4 lecture exams and 1 lab practical. Highly recommend re-listening to each lecture, you can pick up a lot of missed information.

Class is graded by 4 tests & a lab practical. Hes very nice & encourages you to go to SLA & listen to Tegrity. Textbook is recommended, & is helpful for some extra reading or studying for concepts that you may have trouble with. He hands out study guides, which are super helpful. I recommend going to SLA.
