Brother Lapierre is the best! Of course the lab criteria is all the same for the bio 265 class so none of it is easy, you must study and take all the assignments seriously, but he wants his students to succeed and is always willing to help. Go to class, ask questions and take any extra credit opportunity given. He even curves tests!
I think that he is a very good teacher and gives great feedback it is not an easy class but he makes it fun and not as hard by the way he helps and gives advice. You do need to be prepared for class everyday, always willing to help out.
His instructions are very clear, he replies quickly to emails, is considerate of all students, answers all questions professionally and in a way that deepens everyone's understanding of the material.
Pretty good teacher. He answers questions and emails quickly.
He is very funny and helpful. He really wants you to understand and exceed but be prepared to put in hard work and diligent study time. He sends emails to let you what's going on. Exams are challenging but he does his best to help prepare you. Great teacher, the inspirational thought at beginning of class is really helpful in inviting the spirit.
A great teacher who is always willing to help, but every now and then his explanation doesnt help, so I ask the T.A.
He is a good teacher with an honest interest in helping students. He is totally willing to help with whatever questions you have and will go at length to make sure you understand the material. There are a couple chances for extra credit, so definitely use them.
He is a great teacher! He is so sweet and really wants you to succeed. He will answer the questions you have, and the class has difficult material but he works with you! There are quizzes at the beginning and end of most classes, but they're not too difficult.
The class in general is a bit hard and there's lots of memorizing. However, Brother Lapierre has a very laidback class where you do your own work on your own time. You just have to study.
This teacher is very good to answer any questions you may have and he will go back and explain to you things that you missed. He gives quizzes at the beginning of class and sometimes the end, but he is good to let his students know what is on them. He is very intelligent and seems to be able to answer all of my questions.
Brother Lapierre is great. He is always there to help and replies to emails quickly. The lab tests are tough but he does a great job preparing you as much as possible. He gives a good amount of extra credit but you still need to attend class and study for the quizzes and tests or it'll be tough to pass. Overall he's a great professor!!
Brother Lapierre has an awesome personality, and is very approachable. I have him early in the morning and he is always awake and happy to see you. If you ever have any questions you can ask him and he can give you great ways to remember things. I will admit he can be a little confusing sometimes. But I would definitely take another class from him.
This teacher is very helpful. I definitely recommend this teacher. The class is hard if you don't make time for it, if you do its easier and worth it, there is a hand full of memorization to do but the in class quizzes are very helpful and if you have any questions he is aways willing to help.
Brother Lapierre is a good teacher. Sometimes I feel like I'm not sure what some objectives are, and I would like them to be explained in depth a little bit more, but overall he is very nice and very willing to help you.
He is an understanding guy who wants you to do the best you can. If you put the time and effort in, he will help you to succeed. He doesn't appreciate people cheating so do your own work!
Brother Lapierre is a great teacher. He really wants all of his students to do well and is willing to help with questions and gives good hints for quizzes. The class is designed to be pretty independent, but he does a great job of being available for his students to ask questions.
Brother Lapierre is great teacher! He wants to help you succeed if you put enough effort in it.
Bro. Lapierre is always willing to help you out if you have any questions and he gives study guides for the exams that are very helpful. If you come prepared to class you shouldn't have a problem.
Super nice but expects you to work.
Bro. Lapierre is always willing to help if you have any questions and he usually gives study guides for the upcoming exams. If you come to class prepared you shouldn't have a problem.
In this class it is important to make sure that you go over the material and complete the worksheets assigned each week. Bro. Lapierre does his best to help you with the questions that can be a bit confusing. He doesn't actually grade the worksheets himself, but he is willing to help you answer the questions. Make sure you study well for the tests.
Brother Lapierre is a great lab teacher. He explains things to the best of his ability. Most of this class is done individually though.
Brother Lapierre is a great guy and very nice instructor. He answers the questions that you have and will do his best to explain in a way that you can understand. Each class session is somewhat individual, however, he encourages questions and working with those around you. Would definitely take other courses from him.
He is a really great professor. He is really understandable and if you miss a class he is willing to let you come to a different class to make it up. He is willing to help you if you make the effort. You have daily quizzes; a pre and post quiz (that is why attendance is mandatory). Just do your best in this class, and you'll do great.
There are some things the professor says that is hard to understand. IF you do take him, ask specific questions to receive a specific answer. He is willing to work with you, meaning to help you receive extra credit. Do the work!!
Brother Lapierre is a new professor that just graduated. He is very nice and funny and is great with interacting and making your class time enjoyable. He will help you and give you good hints for quizzes and prepares you well for tests.
He is friendly and helpful. If you do your best on the assignments and answer the questions thoroughly you should have no problem with his class.
The worksheet assignments are confusing, but he's not in charge of those so... there's no way around it
I know that when I ask a question, I will receive a clear, understandable answer. He is fair in his grading. As long as you show up and do your part, you will get a good grade.
Amazing teacher, the bio 265L is just hard, it is mostly all online but there are still things you do in class. Bro Lapierre is super helpful!
Bro. Lapierre is a great lab teacher for this class. The class itself is tough, since you have to do all the work and find the answers yourself. But he was always handing out extra credit and helping out when I needed it. Overall, would definitely take from him again!
He is a great teacher! BIO265L is a tough class. You do most of the work online on your own but he is always there to help. He does do a lot of extra credit so that helps.
Brother Lapierre is a great teacher. Gives quizzes every class over the module(like any other lab) but they're easy as long as you've done your homework. He knows his stuff and is always there to help. He provides TONS of extra credit opportunities which is super helpful. Take him!
Brother Lapierre is an awesome adjunct, he makes sure you get the material before moving on to the next step he is always willing to go that extra mile if you at least try.
Brother Lapierre is a cool cat, easy to work with and tells you want to you need to do and helps you do it.
Great teacher. Really easy-going and sets up the class so you know exactly what you're supposed to do each week. Provides plenty of opportunities for extra credit throughout the semester. Almost all of the work is online and he doesn't grade the worksheets, but if you talk with him he will work with you.
The class is very hard. All you do is online assignments, however Brother Lapierre is very willing to help! He can explain things really well and really does know his stuff! Make sure you memorize all the parts when you first learn them!
He is pretty cool and makes a long boring class a little better... He does well with what he is given.
This class is basically memorization, so be prepared for lots of work.
He is an awesome teacher! He does everything to help you on quizzes and tests. Really easygoing and really wants you to succeed in the class!
This class was mainly individual work, and no lecture or not much teaching by the teachers. We had to teach ourselves, which was tough, especially the physiology portions.
Great teacher who is always trying to help even at the expense of himself! Teacher is great!
He is a nice guy that will help if you ask him to. There might be other teachers who are a little bit better at giving lectures but he helps afterwards if you don't understand.
Great teacher and is very helpful.
Brother Lapierre is a great teacher. He is always willing to help. You have 10-15 minutes lecture and then do research for the rest of the class time. He is really good on giving hint during quizzes and preparing you for the exam. I would totally recommend him to anyone. Take him!!!!
Brother Lapierre is very kind and happy! I enjoy coming to class and he is always willing to help you out.
I really enjoyed his class. He has a great desire to help students succeed.
He is very helpful during class and very willing to help you succeed. I would take him again. He is always willing to answer questions and help.
He is always willing to help you, he offers extra credit, and he is really nice.
Brother Lapierre is amazing! Sometimes you don't fully understand what you are supposed to be doing, but he is always willing to help. He answers all questions and provides examples on the board. He has a bright countenance. Like all labs, there are quizzes either at the beginning, end, or both. The online worksheets are tough, but he helps you.
Lapierre is very helpful and wants you to succeed. He gives plenty of opportunity for extra credit.
He is a really good teacher. He is there for you when you raise your hand, he knows his stuff pretty well. I would recommend taking the lab with the lecture. It will make the tests a lot easier. If you stay all the way to the end of class he will most likely give you extra credit!
If you show up and try to do the work during class, you should do great in the class, no matter who the professor is. However, Brother Lapierre is great at answering questions that we have and helping us understand the material.
He is a really nice guy. He helps his students in any way he can. He will answer any of your questions thoroughly and clearly. He is a great professor to have for this class!
Brother Lapierre is a really nice guy. He always has a happy outlook which is something I appreciated going to class especially if it is early in the morning. He wants to see you succeed. The only thing I wish he would do differently is teach us the material instead of waiting to answer our questions.
He is a good teacher who really wants his students to pass, but he will not just hand over a good grade or extra credit. Really understands the material and seems to always enjoy coming to class. His willingness to help students understand the material brings him to constantly ask students if they need help.
Lapierre was a great professor. He was always willing to help with assignments and clarifying up any questions that you have. He is pretty new but that was a good thing, he was actually excited about the material and eager to teach us.
Brother Lapierre always seems excited to be in class and is always there to answer any questions you may have. He gives a lot of extra credit which is nice. There isn't any lecturing so you basically teach yourself the information unless you ask for help. More lecture for the class would be great.
Brother Lapierre is a really nice teacher and he is always willing to help and he gives good guidance and wants you to succeed in the class.
He's awesome. Take him!!
The beginning of the labs don't really have a lot of lecture, you're kind of thrown out on your own, but he will help you with all your questions so be scared!!
He has a hard accent to understand sometimes, but he does his best to state everything as clearly as possible or to restate things if need be. He is also very willing to work with you on what you might need for the class. He also will give hints on quizzes sometimes. All in all, a great teacher from whom to take this course.
He is very helpful during class and very willing to help you succeed. I would take him again. He is always willing to answer questions and help. I would take him again.
lots of memorization but if you have a question he'll answer it
He is a very good teacher, the physiology portions were a little tough, but he is willing to work with you, and gives tons of extra credit.
The class was a bit hard, esp with physiology part, but thats how all these labs are supposed to be. Lapierre is pretty cool, he knows his stuff and knows how to provide assistance, and if your struggling, hes willing to meet up with you to help you on questions your stumped on.
I liked his class and his way of teaching.
Not a hard professor. He knows his stuff pretty well.
Brother Lapierre cares about you and he wants you to succeed. He go to each table to ask students if they have questions after he done lecturing. I never seen any teacher like that before. He is always willing to help if you ask. I know one of my peers(same table) wants to give him a bad review just because she doesn't like his teaching style.
He really cared about the success of his students. He was always available through e-mail and by phone for questions we had. My knowledge of the subject has substantially improved and grown. I would recommend any student to take his class because of the his great teaching method. It was a pleasure to be in his classroom. What a great professor.
He is very helpful and knows his stuff. If you like just getting to the lab worksheets and just getting help along the way he is your man. If you are looking for a bit more lecturing before getting to the lab worksheet, probably look elsewhere
Brother Lapierre was amazing! He was so nice, and funny too. He taught well, and was there to help you in any way he could. Take a class from him, you won't regret it!
Lapierre is your man. Take him and you won't regret!
Great teach who is fun and is on your side. Willing to help and answer all questions.
He's a great professor! He really wants you to succeed and it willing to help you with anything. Like everything in school, work and studying are a given, but it's not too intense. Always put forth a good effort and he likes to give extra credit points, and he'll even give you answers to quizzes and stuff too!
Brother Lapierre is a wonderful teacher, very helpful and happy! He takes the time to learn each students name and is willing to do whatever to help, very kind, and even funny! Does his best to prepare you for quizzes and tests, very understanding!
Lapierre is the peppiest, most excited teachers I know! It makes me excited to learn. There is always a little smile on his face. He gives tons of extra credit opportunities. He plays music in class when we try to memorize the different anatomy parts. His lectures are short and to the point. Willing to help us. The labs are hands on which is nice!
Brother LaPierre is my favorite teacher this semester. He teaches the class very clearly, and respects everyone as an individual. He will not leave anyone behind, and is very good and helping us to pass with a knowledge of the material. He makes class super easy and fun to learn in.
Brother LaPierre is a great teacher, he is very informative and helpful. He teaches you but then leaves you to work on the homework during class. If you ever have any questions just ask and he will help. The class is a lot of work, but he makes it fun. He also gives extra credit on his quizzes. You have 1-2 quizzes each class period.
Out of all my lab teachers he has been the best. He doesn't wast your work time with nonsense that doesn't help. He takes about 10 min. to explain a few things that will help you and then lets you work. He is good about answering questions. But makes you think about it before just giving you the answer, which is good.
He is super funny and he loves to give out extra credit. He is good at answering questions. Overall great teacher.
Brother Lapierre is a very funny and great teacher. He won't just answer you question but help guide you to the answer. Very funny and gives a ton of extra credit. Take him on a Friday for even more extra credit!
So many opportunities for extra credit!
Brother Lapierre is the best lab teacher I ever had. He is really good at lecturing and guiding you to the correct path on the case study. I would take him again and would recommend him to anyone.
Brother Lapierre is so helpful! He looks for ways to help the students understand the material they are studying. He doesn't just give you the answer, but helps you to research and find out for yourself. He is great!
265 Lab is tough class. It requires a lot of extra time on your part. However, brother Lapierre is there for you, especially when you are in lab. He offers to help where he can and gives helpful hints that will help you remember the things you are going over in class. I would recommend that you take his lab.
Bro Lapierre is an awesome lab professor! If you're having a bad day then look forward to coming to his lab because I promise you he will make you laugh. Gives tons of extra credit and is super helpful and really wants everyone to succeed.
He is an amazing teacher and will help explain anything that you need him too! He is there for you and thinks of clever ways to help you remember the material. I would definitely take his class again.
Great teacher! He is always very helpful and super willing to go above and beyond for you! Sometimes it is hard anticipating what will be on the exam because tests are written by all lab instructors. If you have any questions, he is more than willing to help! He truly wants you to get an A!
I really liked this teacher he was really nice. He expected you to know the information and to come to class but was always willing to help and answer questions. If you can take him.
I really enjoyed him. He is extremely enthusiastic and a fun teacher. He knows his stuff and is always willing to go the extra mile to help you understand. You however need to ask for the help and he will give you the shirt off his back.
THIS GUY IS THE BEST TEACHER EVER. BRO. LAPIERRE IS TOTALLY HELPFUL AND WILLING TO GIVE YOU EXTRA HELP TO PASS THE TESTS AND LEARN THE MATERIAL. ANOTHER GREAT THING THAT HE DOES IS LETS YOU LOOK AT YOUR TESTS AND SEE THE QUESTIONS YOU GOT WRONG.
Brother LaPierre is a very awesome teacher. He gives plenty of chances for extra credit and is a lighthearted teacher that enjoys having fun with the class. Show up, pay attention, do your work and you will get an A.
Brother Lapierre is a great teacher. He cares about you learning the material. He also realizes that everyone learns differently so he takes the time to help you on an individual basis if you ask for help. He has a good sense of humor which makes class enjoyable because 2 hours is a long time.
He always cares about the individual. I had a 7:30am class and was always a couple minutes late. He would still let me take the quiz everyone took at the start of class no matter how late I was. Once you have filled out the worksheets for the lab you can bring them to him and he will check it all for you, before you have to submit it.
He is one of the most happy people. He makes you want to show up to class, like you made his day by being there even at seven-thirty in the morning. He gives out extra credit regularly. Everything you need for the class is online: the textbook, worksheets, atlas, etc.
Loved brother Lapierre! It is difficult material, so having a teacher who is helpful and kind is so crucial! Although he didn't have set office hours (hes an adjunct teacher), he made sure we knew we could contact him or stay after class to have clarification. Also, he seriously knows his stuff! A solid good guy and teacher, Lapierre is you guy!
