Mitchell is very boring. He is a very smart man; however, he expects that everyone knows everything about biology already and he teaches the class like we're all professionals. He mumbles a lot and he jumps around when he's talking. And his study guides are of no help. I would not recomend him.

What a drone He mumbles and gets off track in lecture. Lecture handouts don't follow the text either, so if you're one who needs to read the book to learn the material forget it. His test questions dont represent the lecture or text material either. Take someone else if you can, but he is survivable

He is biased and only mentions parts of chapters he agrees with. If there is scientific evidence for a theory he doesn't agree with, he refuses to teach it. There is no such thing as primary, secondary, or tertiary photosynthesis I checked everywhere, yet he teaches it b/c its his idea, but no proof

contradicts his thoughts and uses multiple meaning words on tests; no sense of humor and not funny in any conceivable way; monotone; snooze class;

Is a very smart guy but not teacher material. He should work at a research institution or a bigger university. Gives a pretyped handout to take notes on. Very mono tone,so hard to pay attention. The only interesting things he says dont matter for the test. The book is very boring and test are over 7-10 chapters...Would recommend NOT taking him.

Terrible professor. Always jumps off topic, very corny jokes, and its very easy to lose focus. His test are ridiculous. I suggest u run far away from this professor

this professor is funny at times,but can get off topic. it is not so bad until you get to the test and realize that the non-sense that he was muttering about when he gets off track was the most important part of the test and it is repeated 4 times in different variations. my thoughts: what do i study, what is he talking about,why is this important?

The tests lectures are long, boring and confusing. Biology is already a tough course but his delivery makes it just impossible to understand. You have no idea what will be on the test and they are insanely difficult. Lecture quizzes are just the same. I just stopped going to lectures and tried to learn from the book and tutors half way through.

Mitchell is an incompetent professor. His presentation skills are very poor, which leads to boring lectures and confused students. His exams are far too specific and rely solely on memorization, rather than understanding and application of concepts. Simply put,he isn't a good professor in any aspect and intentionally tries to make the course harder

I never receive bad grades in school, until I took this class. Dr. Mitchell is not the professor you want to take, even if it is only a 121 class. He makes it way to hard. I did fine in all my other classes but this one I have to retake, and I went to every lecture and lab, having perfect attendance. No homework, nothing to study but a bad old test

If he gave tests about his cat, I would most likely be getting a solid A in his class.

Only grade is tests and he gives questions with multiple right answers. Ive taken a college biology class at another college and got a b with no struggle. Im currently holding onto a c-. He provides almost no supplement to help you learn. You are expected to succeed based on his lectures which he doesnot even talk about all the subjects on tests.

Your entire grade in this class is based on four tests, weekly 10-point lab quizzes, and a final. He does not post grades on Blackboard or Canvas. He does give out practice tests a week before he gives an exam but often there is material that he never went over on the tests. Save yourself the stress and switch professors!!

Worst professor I've ever had. Lecture grade is based only on 4 tests. they're all 50pt multiple-choice tests, but most of the information is stuff that he never covered well. Lab is 20% of the grade and is based on 10 point quizzes given at the beginning of the lab. these quizes cover the lab from last week AND THE ONE YOU HAVENT EVEN DONE YET!!!

His lectures are extremely vague and goes over things very quickly. His tests will have questions where multiple answers could be correct. He'll give you your grade back but what tell you what you got right or wrong. He also advertised on his syllabus that most people fail or drop the class.

Prof Mitchell is awful at teaching biology. He explains things as if we know what he is talking about. He also goes on tangents about his cats and mom a lot so it is hard to focus on the material we need to know for the exams. He is very approachable though and if you have questions, he will be glad to answer them, but in a complicated manner.

Prof Mitchell was terrible at teaching this class. He is extremely vague about everything. Gives no homework so there is no way to test yourself on the material. He only grades you off of 4 tests and a lab grade. He would go on tangents with no end in sight. His test questions were in depth questions on things he rarely talked about.

Dr. Mitchell is terrible! Avoid this class if you can. He goes off on tangents during lecture, does not give homework or any guidance to material, and mainly talks about his mom and cats. I wouldn't have minded homework just so I could get a clear understanding of material. Test are very misleading where multiple answers could be correct.

This man is by far the worst professor. He has so little assignments to grade, so if you happen to do bad on one item, you are going to fail. READ THE BOOK, MASTER THE CHAPTERS. Beware, on his exams, many of the answers could be correct, use your best judgement. He doesn't show what you got wrong on the exam, just puts a letter grade. AVOID HIM !!!

Dr. Mitchell was the worst professor I have ever had in college. Your grade is based only on four exams. If you do poorly on one it is nearly impossible to recover. He doesn't use canvas at all and never responds to emails. The lab section with him may be worse than the lectures. He takes all 3 hours every single lab and the quizzes are impossible.

This class sucked. He lectures for at least an hour before each lab, about nothing related to the lab. He is particularly fascinated with the British Monarchy in the middle ages. His lecture, lectures are completely random and you never know what will be on the test. Also the final was by far the hardest test of the class.

Goes on tangents about random things, gives out vague notes packets and doesn't describe it, and doesn't have a Canvas. You are going to have to rely on the textbook to get through the class, and if possible, read the textbook before lecture. I am usually a high-grade student and passing wasn't easy in this class.

I would rather watch paint dry than go to his lectures. Lecture guides were the only resource he provided and using it as a study guide will result in a maximum of 40% on his tests as the majority of his questions relied on memorization from the book. He gave no homework and grades were based purely on lab quizzes and tests.

I am not joking that this is the worst professor I have ever had do not expect a good grade in his class. During his lectures it is like he does not even know the material. You will have no idea what the exam is on either because he says all the book and lecture is fair game if anybody says he is a good teacher know they are lying.

Honestly the worst teacher I have ever had in all my life. His lectures are pointless to attend as nothing he says will be on the test. His labs are also equally as horrendous as for he takes the entire 3 hours talking about nonsense. Avoid Dr. Mitchell at all costs, it will waste money, time, and credits.

75% of your grade in this course is his lecture, which is made up of 3 exams and a final. Thats it. He tells you to read his book and use his lecture notes to study, neither work. Good luck passing his class. Doesnt explain anything and goes on tangents about nothing.

I also had Dr. Mitchell in BIO 375, and he is so hard; the only grades are exams and labs. The exams are not easy. He is hard to listen to in lecture, and he forgets what he says in the middle of a conversation. He doesn't use Canvas and if you email him, he will not respond. goodluck

Take it with someone else your better off
