AMAZING TEACHER! Reaaly cares about the students success. Very understanding and really works with students. He is so interesting, really makes what he is saying and teaching fun to learn. He is so excited about everything he teaches that it makes you that more interested. I had him at 8 in the morning and he woke me up. TAKE HIM IF YOU CAN!

Seriously. Coolest guy ever. Not too much work for a lab class but if you do the assignments your good. I really learned a lot about bio in this class. If you are afraid of science classes take him!
Professor Reeves is awesome! attend class, pay attention and youll do good. He gives practice exams online and study guides where all the test questions come from, on top of that all exams were a breeze!
Awesome teacher, loved every minute of the class. He works hard to make sure that you understand the material, and is obviously very enthusiastic about the material.
Reeves is AWESOME! He is totally helpful, does not trick you in any way on the exams, very clear of what he wants and expects, and just an all around coool professor...he is young and really cares about his students...his main goal is to make sure we have learned what he is teaching...Highly reccommend reeves, you'd be stupid if you did not!
Professor Reeves is really smart and he really knows his stuff. I don't really like Biology but in his class, I would say it was pretty awesome. And oh, he gives tons of extra credit so no reason to fail this class.
Very cool teacher, very helpful, gives you all the information needed to do good on tests and in the class. Loved going to class.
DUDE, THIS PROFESSOR IS SO AWESOME. I HAD A BLAST IN HIS CLASS, AND REALLY LEARNED BIOLOGY. HE GIVES A TON OF EXTRA CREDIT, AND IS VERY ENTHUSIASTIC WHEN HE TEACHES. TESTS ARE A LITTLE HARD, BUT HE MAKES IT SO EASY THERE IS NO WAY YOU CANT GET AN A.
Reeves is amazing! He gives out extra credit like it's going out of style. He also posts old exams from previous semesters. If you study these, you are almost guaranteed an A on the test. Had him for lecture and lab, and he actually captivates you in a subject of no interest. Involves you a lot. Definitely recommended for any subject. Won't regret!
So glad I took this Bio teacher. Take him, you won't regret it. He spells everything out for you in the syllabus, no surprises. He gives gives study guides and holds a study session for each test. He also gives ample extra credit. Patient, kind, and helpful. If you fail this class, it was all you!
Proff Reeves is amazing!!!By far one of the best teachers ive ever had! He is exrememly helpful, his tests are on all the notes. He offers alot of extra credit, and he is very sweet and mellow.If you do all the work, you will easily get an A.
He is really nice and helpful take all of his advice. His study quizes are great so do those and he knows what he is talking about. Try to keep up with the lectures cause that helps too. I recomend him to any one going into a biology field because he prepares you for the real thing.
Mr. Reeves is a awesome Bio teacher! I despised science with a passion before his class, and he made the subject easy to understand. He gives out tons of extra credit. He is also a very nice and helpful person who truly wants all of his students to learn what he is teaching. A++ teacher!
It doesn't appear that attendance is actually mandatory, but it is highly recommended because he gives a lot of good information. Extremely helpful and kind professor. Makes many topics exciting by relating them to the real world. AWESOME PROFESSOR!
Dr. Reeves is awesome! He's always so happy to be in class and it makes everyone else happy to be in class. He's easy to understand, loves to answer questions, and hands out lots of extra credit. I highly recommend him. Note: he likes evolution.
Really nice teacher. He gets frusterated when it's obvious that people aren't trying, but that's because he gives you so many resources to do well in the class. There are a lot of points given for in class i-clicker quizzes, labs are easy, and if you use the resources that he provides then tests should be extremely easy.
He makes the class entertaining and makes the labs really simple. I took this class as a high school student and got an A. Pay attention and you'll do fine, there are no surprises on the tests. And the homework is full of packets. Make sure you don't miss any of the labs b/c they come up on the final. The book was rarely used.
very nice professor, do your work and you will be just fine. he lovvvves fruit flies and every single day in class, fruit flies has to be mentioned. gives some extra credit. overall great
My favorite professor at MSJC!! He makes this class so interesting and is also full of interesting side facts. He is a very kind and helpful person who really cares about his students and their understanding of the subject. I highly recommend him!
Great professor, might get grouchy if students aren't paying attention (which is totally understandable!). He gives students many resources to refer back to (for studying). He is dedicated and takes learning seriously. Put the effort and you will succeed!
He's a cool teacher. Gives all kinds of help for preparation for tests. Go to class and pay attention and you'll do great! S.I. helps also.
I had professor Reeves for Honors Sexuality and the Society. He is an amazing professor who provides as much help as he could to his students. He is also very approachable unlike other professors who are very intimidating. He is also quite involves in school organizations, so he'd be a good person to ask info on different stuff. :)
Dr. Reeves is awesome! He is crystal clear in his teachings. Do the extra credit, he gives you chances to get out in the community and go to museums, lectures, charity walks etc. Labs are fun. If you study and pay attention, you'll be fine. I didn't like bio that much before but now because of Reeves I love it.
Good teacher, knows his stuff. His class is easy if you have time. Make sure you if take Biology with Reeves that you have to spend time doing his homework and studying for his test.
Professor Reeves offers you the most enriching growth experience he possibly can. From his labs to his homework to his exams he integrates new knowledge in a way that is designed to enable the student. Very cool!
Very good professor, he knows his stuff. He can get a little mad sometimes when you don't understand what he is asking right off the bat. But overall I would take him again.
Reeves is a great teacher. I took Bio 150 which is a difficult class but he made it quite simple. He is one of the few professors that actually CARES about you learning & will never make you feel dumb like many others do. You HAVE to read the book! It's too difficult to not&expect to pass. Bad:The HW learnsmarts are horrible, &were no good for me.
Professor Reeves is an excellent teacher, relatively easy grader, and hands out extra credit freely. However, he does have a temper at times. Just don't ask stupid questions and he should like you. Labs are somewhat difficult and require prep. Tests are pretty difficult, study a lot.
Professor Reeves is an excellent teacher, an easy grader, and hands out extra credit freely. His tests are pretty hard, so study before hand thoroughly. I highly recommend him for future Bio. Majors.
Bends over backwards for you. Makes whole class extremely easy. Every little thing you need for tests, are online. He provides everything and all powerpoints are online. Don't really need the textbook as long as you read the powerpoints and take notes. Even if you slack off, it's impossible to fail! Hands out extra credit like hotcakes.
He was an amazing professor. The course in hard but he baby proofs it for you and give you an extensive amount of material for you to study. He cares about his students and will try his best to make sure you understand. Don't be rude and ask questions in the middle of his lecture though. -cough- the best thing to do is ask questions after.
I loved Prof. Reeves! An intimidating person to be around, but CARES about his students & will not fail to recognize the hard work you put into his class, though he will push you to do better. Babies the class because so many resources are offered, but makes concepts so clear that it's difficult to forget class material even after you've finished.
He tries his best to present the same material in different ways and to make it as clear as possible. Also, lots of extra credit opportunities! He can be quite intimidating at times, but he knows his stuff. Tip: If you have any questions or concerns which do not involve gaining clarity from lecture or lab, it's best to ask him after lecture or lab.
The best professor at MSJC. Cares about his students and goes above and beyond to give the best college experience. 100% recommend. Thanks to this professor I now have confidence in college and know I can go further.
Prof. Reeves is great! His lectures can be a little slow, but he waters down the course content so that everyone understands it. Labs are interesting and he's thorough. Would definitely take again.
His class is very structured, so you always know what to expect. I can't say much about his lectures; I didn't go. The labs, however, are great. They're graded strictly but fairly & you learn a lot of skills. I will note that he gets upset at the class easily, especially the honors students, whom he expects to work independently but outstandingly.
Reeves is interesting - he will give you a lot of busy work and his personality is off - he can come off as really harsh sometimes. However, as a Neuroscience major i've ran into a few situations where i am just thanking my lucky stars that I took him. No teacher will prepare you better! Take him if you're serious about science! Excellent Prof.
Dr. Reeves is awesome. he would reiterate announcement and important things if needed to be. reading the Chapter in advance or before lecture is helpful, you'll have an idea what he us talking about and you would not look so lost. If you do the part, and what he tells you to do, its an easy pass.
Reeves is an amazing professor. He really wants you to understand and succeed, however, do not expect him to cater to you. He teaches at a college level and expects you to articulate and conduct yourself as such. I would definitely take him again.
Participation and other things count as extra credit that could boost your grade greatly. He explains things so clearly. Don't be afraid to ask questions. He provides so many study quizzes and materials to help you with the exams. Do well in lab and exams in order to get a good grade. Exams are nearly identical to study quizzes. He is nice.
He is a kind and patient professor. Professor wants for all his students to pass his class. He has tutoring hours so, take advantage of that. The text book and lab manual are required. Do not drive his patience by asking questions about the topics he has already gone over 2x.
This professor is awesome! He communicates very well, and provides almost everything he possibly could for his students (like i clickers if they are required). Transferring into university, his class prepared me a lot for Cell Physiology. Please make sure to be nice to him, he's had a lot of experience.
Best professor I have ever had. His powerpoints were great. He really ensures that his students succeed. He made Microbiology fun and less tedious. Definitely take his class!
Took Reeves for both Bio 150 &151 and it was honestly great having him as a professor. He's easy going and loves to help out students when they have any questions. Trust me, do all the easy HW quizes, study for lab practicum(s) as well as all the EXTRA old study quizzes, and you will pass the class with an A! P.s it is a 5 unit class so work 4it
Nick is a great guy! He may be intimidating at first but I dont think so considering behind all of that is a man who is patient with a kind heart despite getting frustrated quite easily because a lot of students arent trying in the class itself. He makes it entirely easy and makes you work for it! I recommend him 100%. Plus, hes attractive. ;)
Reeves is my favorite professor/ teacher I have ever had. He genuinely cares about his students and does everything in his power to help them pass. Lectures are pretty fun and the labs are even better. I would take him every semester if i could.
Prof. Reeves is very passionate about his field, but is also very understanding that you may not be, and may only be taking this course as a requirement. Therefore, he makes the class very easy to pass. Many extra cred opportunities as well. You literally have to try to fail, which is why I think he gets agitated when people do fail.
Nick Reeves is a great professor; however, he would sometimes get frustrated/annoyed and raise his voice. He offers plenty of extra credit opportunities throughout the semester. You are allowed to make up 2 labs. He provides study guides for each exam and there is always a study session before the exam day. He uses flashcards to call on students.
One of the better professors I've taken, he tries his best to make sure you understand the material and wants you to do well and pass his class. Highly recommend taking him!
One of the best professors I've had. Extremely knowledgable and an excellent communicator. Goes way beyond his responsibilities and provides the study materials that you would usually have to prepare yourself (you just have to study them). Professor is so knowledgable that you gain a strong understanding in lecture, which makes studying very easy.
Professor Reeves was one of the top professors I have ever had. He is very knowledgeable about his teaching subject and is a great communicator. Even after having to move his class online due to quarantine, he continued to be very thorough in how the class was running and his lectures. Quick grading as well. Wonderful professor!
He is one of the best professors I have ever taken and angel compared to Dejan Stekovic on the other side of the spectrum. If youre taking online classes the test questions can be kind of tough so make sure to study well. There is lots of extra credit opportunities and allows you to redo homework assignments and labs until you get 100%
He is so wonderful! Definitely one of my favorite professors ever. He really cares about his students and makes concepts easy to understand. He is very understanding and flexible when it comes to making up assignments (during COVID at least). He also makes class fun! Always accessible to his students and makes you feel important. He's a must take!
Lectures are recorded and easy to understand complex concepts. Merciful with deadlines and takes any assignments up until the unit exam. Accessible outside of class and gives a lot of materials for his students to pass. Just keep up with the lectures, do labs and discussions, and use the study materials to your advantage :)
I cannot overstate how great professor Reeves is. Hes the best professor I have ever had. His lectures are super interesting and breaks down the material in such an easy to understand way. He gives tons of fun extra credit opportunities. Hes extremely helpful with labs, homework and tests. Hes also the nicest and most understanding person ever!
He was an excellent prof to have in the online environment. His live lectures were excellent and he explains concepts very well. I skipped reading a couple chapters due to time constraints but his lectures are so good that I still rocked the tests. He truly cares. I thought he was doing a little too much hand holding but he wants you to do well.
Professor Reeves creates an easy and structured online environment. His live lectures and test review guides help a lot. He provides numerous amounts of extra credit opportunities and is very clear with grading. Very kind and patient, definitely felt confident and comfortable in this course online.
Professor Reeves is one of the best on the campus. his lectures are really helpful and he cares about his students. he gives multiple extra credit opportunities and goes out of his to find programs that might better his students. He is not just a great teacher but an amazing person in general.
Dr. Reeves has been the least accessible teacher I have had at SLU. I have had to send multiple emails in order to get a response from her on several occasions. She is very kind don't get me wrong, but she is a parent, a PhD student, a teacher, and a faculty mentor. She is trying to do too much at one time to the point that she is not there for us.
Great and kind teacher, can tell he really loves what he does. Gives plenty of extra credit opportunities
He is the best professor I have ever had, and I am going to take classes with him again.
Professor Reeves in the best, as someone that is not so great at science he is really passionate and great at teaching the subject. Gives many extra credit opportunities and a lot of extensions on assignments. 10/10 highly recommend
Nick is amazing! Its been three years (Fall 2018) since I had taken him for Bio 115 on campus and I am extremely proud of him by how he has improved significantly in an online setting. He gives many extensions and is just so AMAZEBALLS. Nick, if youre reading this: I highly recommend you to anyone especially for Bio 150 Honors. 10/10.
Take this professor if you can! He offers so many extra credit opportunities. When there is an exam, he goes out of his way to provide old exams, study guides, extra classes, etc. He wants his students to succeed and cares so much. He is very knowledgeable and when a student has questions, he will give you the best explanation! Take this professor!
The best professor I have ever had. He's very understanding and actually works to teach you instead of leaving you to do things on your own. It's hard not to pass his class if you just pay attention and ask for help if needed.
Professor Reeves is one of the best teachers I've ever had. He makes Biology so interesting, he thoroughly explains the concepts and is so willing to help if you need it. He responds to emails quickly and is super understanding. Professor Reeves is the best!!
Hybrid class. In person labs were engaging and exciting. Online portion, there are recorded lectures which you work problems through, and weekly quiz. Weekly discussions on interesting topics. Do the work and exams are easy. Extremely nice and wants to help you.
I have taken 2 Biology classes and now this Honors Enrichment Science class with Professor Reeves. He is one of the most amazing professors ever. He cares, gives great feedback, and answers emails quickly. He is flexible with due dates, gives out great support materials, and has very clear and detailed grading criteria. Take him you won't regret it
Professor Reeves has been the best professor I've had at MSJC. He is caring, kind, approachable, and legitimately does his best to help you succeed - even if it means taking up more of his time. He provides more than enough resources to succeed! If you want a positive educational experience, I'd highly recommend taking one of his courses.
Such an amazing professor! He will help you in any way you need, constantly gives information for activities going on in the school that he feels will help his students. Shows that he care about his students, making sure they are successful in his class and outside of it. This class has a lot of info, make sure you read and see his lectures!
Nick Reeves is a complete GOAT as a Professor. I believe his teaching styles are one of the best and is very helpful during his office hours. I always felt well prepared for his exams as he held reviews and lots of study materials to make sure we were fully prepared. It is not to difficult to get an A but you must put in the work as well.
Hands down the best Bio professor there is, highly recommended
Professor Reeves is the best there is! He really wants to see his students succeed - he cares more about your understanding + connection to the material than he does deadlines. He always shares opportunities (internships, jobs, etc.) to help students gain experiences and works hard to share interesting honors projects.
Really good teacher! Recommend him for any BIO class you plan to take. Tests are either straight from the textbook or from his lectures online, assignments are easy to follow and do, and he is there for you when you need help on labs. Overall, a great teacher.
I was very nervous about this course; however, Professor Reeves was wonderful. We had a discussion board each week along with a few homework assignments. In class, for labs we worked in groups and the professor walked around helping everyone out. This has been one of the easiest classes I have ever taken at Msjc.
This was one of the most organized and well-structured classes I've ever taken. I would absolutely recommend this professor!
He was nice, he's very good at explaining things when asked questions, labs are super easy, he ensures the class understands what's happening with each lab and the homework was pretty easy. There's practice quizzes each chapter to prep for the exams, same goes for the lab exams.
Reeves is the best! He's funny + encouraging to everyone. I appreciate his dedication to all his classes he always makes sure everyone is on the same page before moving on in labs. Best choice you can make!
superrrr easy class. 50-70 slides per week with a lecture quiz. labs are easy and he always goes through the questions with the class. 4 midterms, all online. 2 lab practicals.
He makes both the regular section and the honors section very approachable! He's not needlessly time-consuming, especially if you've taken biology not too long ago, and the honors project was fun!
Nice teacher
There are 3 midterms, 2 lab practicals, 1 final exam, and 1 final project. This class was one of the most enjoyable I have had in college. The best teacher you could take for this class who truly cares about biology and his students. If he is an option, take him. He is patient, kind, and very knowledgeable. I wish I took BIO150 with him too.
This professor was great. I honestly dislike science, but he is so enthusiastic about the subject, and it made the class fun! It is VERY lab-heavy, and the exams are pretty difficult, but if you study and do all the lecture activities and quizzes, it will be easy! The homework is incredibly manageable as well and helpful.
Great professor! The class structure was very organized and clear. The honors project was really simple and fun to do as well. He really cares about biology and his students. He does everything in his power to ensure that you pass with a high grade. Overall, super sweet. Will be taking him again for BIO151H.
Reeves is a total Ravenclaw–intellect and curious, but he carries a Gryffindor heart like Lupin/Sirius—brave + compassionate with a little bit of Snape's Slytherin edge in him—principled. (I'm a proud Slytherin myself.) He's a bold thinker, passionate about Biology, and not afraid to break the mold. I took his class in Fall 2021 and earned an A.
Extremely qualified and easygoing. Workload is light. Lab attendance matters. Super funny, extra credit opportunities, impossible to fail. He is very passionate about what he teaches and will ensure you understand the material. Amazing professor!
Reeves is AWESOME! Many, MANY extra credit opportunities, exams are the exact same as the hw. Labs are required, you are not required to show up for lecture (but you should). Great for people who are just taking the class for a grade, but goes above and beyond for the passionate students too! He is engaging, willing to help, and easy to talk to.
Professor Reeves is a lawful good. His lectures are recorded and recorded well. His study guides contain the real test questions. I got out of lab in about an hour usually. His lectures are long brutal information waterfalls. His class was a little tougher than I like for non math classes, but I learned a ton and enjoy speaking about biology now.
