Stephen is such a funny teacher. He makes his lectures fun and creative. The note taking might kill your hand after 2 hours, but overall a really nice guy
likes to have fun and joke around, but come test time...u'll be laughing when u get ur mark, iz how hard that guy really is
Should we listen to the lecture or write down the overhead notes? Nice man but what exactly are we supposed to study? I'll tell you--every word of the textbook plus anything he lectures on. Blah.
Stephen is a very nice guy, but his teaching technique is very questionable. His mid terms were all m/c. :) and if you study his notes then, you won't have any problems in the course, the only problem will be getting down the notes!! impossible to keep up
This guy is a overall nice guy with no experence in connecting with students. His tests are a mc. Basically he teachs rite out of the text book. Ask him asny questions and refers to the text book. Overall not a good prof. but nice guy.
his test was brutal...all mc with 3 essay questions..overall..2 thumbs DOWN! he is a nice guy though..he smiles alot...so dont get fooled by his smile; expect the worst from his tests!good luck
Hand cramp! Yes, he whizzes thru notes which are right outta the text, but also makes the lecture interesting. I say take down what you can, sum it up, and study from that.
he's gotta do somthing bout he's note takeing startegy...tooo fast...impossible to keep up....rather juss bring the text book and high light what ever he says meaning everything!!!
Absolutely fantastic teacher! Not the easiest class in the world, but isn't that why we're at school..........to learn. I would love to take another class with stephen in the future, I never wanted lectures to end!!
I loved being in Stephen's class. I had previously taken this class with another teacher, and stephen actually made me enjoy taking it the second time around. His lectures are fantastic, he keeps you interested the whole time!!! I highly recommend him!
horrible, horrible, horrible. speeds through lectures by powerpoint. so don't expect to learn anything from his lectures. just stay home and highlight the textbook yourself. if anything DON'T take this class if he's the instructor.
I totally loved being in stephens class! He does go through notes fast, but he highlights everything that is important, and if you study his notes you will not have a hard time with the exams. A Great Teacher!
FANTASTIC
a really nice guy, but really not a good teacher. If you want a good Bio teacher, turn to Leni Gelten. She is a sweetie. Stephen is a really cool guy, but not made for teaching. really.
I had a great time being in Stephen's class. He is very helpful, and his lectures fly by so fast b/c he is so entertaining. Great teacher!
he is the sweetest prof out there but i agree the note package isnt great..but it is his first semester doin this course. he has amazing energy, loves what he is doing and is genuinely concerned for his students.it is refreshing to see a prof that really loves there job. he will get better:)
Super nice...but his test are hard....to many people fail, can't really teach and zoom by materials with powerpoint.,,,better off with a different teacher.
He is funny!
Stephen is a really nice guy, but the teaching I question. I've had other teachers in Bio, and he rates pretty low on my list. He's always prepared, but not clear or willing to clear anything up. If you want a great teacher, take Leni Gelten, she is GOLD!! Really nice but a bit hard.
he's sweet & energatic, but that doesnt make a good teacher, that's a good lover. He needs to learn to teach effectively. Too much information is useless. He's the first teacher i had that made me memorize the textbook. This isnt aBible sir.he's notes suck cause test is from text forget his notes
hard, hard teacher goes to fast in class, his notes are useless don't take this class!!!!!!!!
stephen is a nice person but a horrible teacher. i hate to say that but its true. his notes Suck, he flies thru the information so you don't learn anything in lecture and his tests do not reflect the major points of chapters but details that are really irrelevant and you wont rememember past EXAM
He's a really nice person but can't stand his class because you don't learn anything. i barely goes to class because i fall asleep. Just do your readings from text and study from his note package and bascially teach yourself and you shouldn't do too bad in his class.
nice person, but not a great teacher. his notes are too long and his exams dont really cover the important points. i would rather have a different teacher, but he's the only one for this course!
Gives an enthusiastic lecture. nice combination of note taking and visuals. Friendly and open.
It is not neccessary to be in his class @ all as long as you study the text book! Stephen, however, is a great guy and VERY funny. One of the nicest prof I've meet! I would take another class he teaches in a second.
Stephen is a really great guy, but he lacks knowledge in anything remotely related to nursing. His note packages are long and lack any sort of structure. Headings are all the same font size/style, which is frustrating when many subheadings should go under one heading. Too much useless information in the notes. Tries hard, though!
Steven is a really nice guy and he's really enthusiastic! His notes and test aren't that great. I really had to teach myself because he's test are on random things that you really shouldn't have to know. BUT I got an A+!!!HAHAHA
His notes is useful..but actually his notes is just the "point-formed" textbook..you dun reli need to read the textbook again coz he has already summarize the textbook into his notes..haha~~Good teacher overall~!
No Comments
nice guy, good teacher, but hard material. I didnt do too great, but it was because the material was hard, he taught very well.
Stephen is a nice guy, very talkative & passionate about teaching. His tests are fair, but hard. Class average for the last 2 midterms were around 58%. It covers tooooons of material, which some of them other profs don't even teach nursing students. His tests have MC, short answers and a essay question, if u strive in that, then take his course.
he seems like a nice guy, but he is a horrible teacher. his tests are HARD consists of m.c., short answers, and a written. the class average for both midterms was 58%. you basically have to teach yourself. he expects a lot but really he shouldn't b/c he can't teach. i do not recommend him unless he is the only teacher teaching like this semester.
compared to the other bio teachers, steve rates quite low. an interesting guy, but the lectures, notes, and exams are 'scattered'. the course felt undirected. lots of material to cover for this course, but steve made it seem like a mess..!
Very nice guy, very approachable, however his notes are too lengthy and very scattered. It's like you need to read over all the notes and re-organize them in the right order to make sense of the content. Otherwise, he tries to make the lectures interesting with his humor, which helps pass the time.
super funny, and upbeat...talks in weird voices sometimes...very fair and easy going...fast paced though so pay attention....great person and teacher
Wonderful teacher, so full of life - never a dull moment - always making the students laugh and time goes by so fast - not to mention, he's an absolutely gorgeous man - what a fun term!!! Take him if you can - you'll be challenged but will learn all that this gifted individual has to offer.
horrible teacher avoid avoid... hard test class averge was 58% alot of people failed about 7 in total. Lectures are ok but you dont really learn anythign in class you need to teach yourself he will notice if you dont show up
has little help. never attempt to clearly explain;read his obscure powerpoints only. very strict in rating based on whether the student copied his style; has favoritism. some women students wore HUGE makeup for his class...
Huh? Sums up my feelings while leaving his lectures. He's all over the place and can't answer a question worth a damn. Very random + inconsistant marking of tests. Worst powerpoint notes ever. Fill in the blanks. If there are other profs to choose from, pick them!
AVOID! Granted, he has useful notes for reviewing; however, he discusses it like there's no tomorrow! He's like in a RUSH! So, he doesn't really deeply talk about his stuff! It's more of like his just scratching the surface of his lectures. And, he'll just go on and on and on.. sigh** oh, he's a tryin hard comedian. sorry, not working :(
The material is not hard to understand, it is just a lot to memorize. He does make the material interesting, but his notes are all over the place, you will spend half the time trying to put all the pieces together. Good things is that tests are based just on his notes, so you don't even have to open your text book, unless you need clarification.
Extremely nice teacher! Notes are useful for summarizing the text. I basically had to teach myself, though. However, I do give him credit for trying his best to teach! I will take another class of his.
He's a good teacher, he knows his stuff. The material is not too hard to understand, but you do have to put endless hours into studying and memorizing the material, unless you're a genious and just naturally get good grades. Stephen's tests are fair and are based on m/c, short answer, and one big question at the end.
nice notes buddy!
humour and entertaining and i learned alot
I really enjoyed his class. I found that it helped to actually come to class tho. His test are a combination of MC, long answer and short answer. You really need to ensure that your familiar with the material because many people seem to lose marks on the short answer. Know his highlighted words (definitions and functions by heart).
His notes are very thorough so there's no need to purchase a textbook. He can be funny sometimes, but most of the time he's talking more to himself then the class. He says attendance is mandatory but you can pass without attending, just download his notes. Overall, he wasn't all that great, but wasn't horrible either.
Hate studying like your life depends on it? First year students should avoid Connor's class. Can't avoid taking his class? Well, I suggest you start printing out his notes and studying hardcore ASAP. In class, you'd be staring blankly at the same notes on a power-point presentation while tuning in and out of his reading.
Steve makes classes fun and interesting, but he doesn't use class time very consistently; we went through a huge amount of material in a few weeks and then did almost nothing after that.
Funny guy but he is pretty horrible at what he does. His notes are point form, no pictures. He just reads them in class and doesn't do anything productive. Extremely hard marker. You think he would give you part marks, think again. WRITE EVERYTHING YOU KNOW about what he is asking and you'll get an OK mark.
slaughtered in his class! tests are written ansrew questions with a long process/paragraph answer. good prof if you are not a visual larner. talks fast. notes are through. you just need to memorze the entire thing to get a decent grade. good luck!
Good prof but tough. His notes are thorough and very well organized. This is my second time taking the course and he explains the material very well and is always available outside of class if you need help understanding concepts. His exams are fair if you've studied the material; if it looks like you know your stuff, you'll get marks.
He's an AWESOME guy! Talked to him outside of class a couple of times. Very helpful and friendly! However, his notes are very long and tedious to read. Exams are hard and on the most random thing available. But, I found out that if you read the materials thoroughly and memorize the terms, I think you will do fine. Remember, there is also the lab!
Extremely fair teacher. Tests are written and a lot of studying is required, so if you're lazy you won't do well. Stephen wants his students to works hard and if he sees that then you will be fine.
Memorize, memorize, memorize everything. Tests are hard only because you can be asked to explain anything from the notes. The multiple choice is pretty simple. His notes are long, but in plain english, so are easy to comprehend. He's an overall nice guy and interesting enough not to fall asleep to in class.
Without a doubt, you need to study, religiously, for Connor's class! It goes to show how hard his class is -- we lost about half of the students by the final exam!
He states in his syllabus that you NEED TO make your own notes and study PRIOR to his lectures. DO NOT go to into his lectures blind and think that you will learn, bc you WON'T. His lectures are for reviewin content, not so much teaching them. You will NEED to write notes. It is suggested that you go to his class! 1st years beware if you are lazy
Horrible, his lectures, his notes, were horrible... I am glad that he only taught half portion of the course,,, ppl didnt bother to show up to his class. His notes are all online... He has really ugly writing...
BEWARE IF YOUR LAZY! Lots of work needed in this class, study before you show up becuz all he does is a speedy review. Hes a pretty nice guy and welcomes questions. Tests are straight forward, based on online notes; they're impossible if you dont read the online notes though. I didn't open my text book once in his class!
I had him for 1191 and 2290. Wish I had him for 2291 right now. He's my favourite bio instructor (I've had Sunga and Kalra too). He's funny and his notes make sense.
My favorite bio teacher. He has good notes (compared to some other bio professors), just study those and you'll be fine.
Does not teach, just reads off his notes!
As with most professors, does not know how to teach but is a nice man. If you know Bill Nye the science guy, that's who this professor is like. Easy going, has sense of humor and is NOT a jerk. His exams are not so hard. I would highly recommend him if you are the person who can study on your own. The only thing... Watch for his lab assistant. =)
His tests were hard and there was alot of material to remember. I had a hard time with the written questions. You have to teach yourself the material because in class he just reads off the power points and he talks really fast! He is a very nice guy tho
Dr. Connor is a fun lecturer and has some great asides with theatrical interpretation and even sound effects! It's a lot of material to cover so it drags on a bit and requires an organized study plan. Work hard and his tests will seem easy. Don't study and you won't pass. Also, work hard on the labs they are a huge weight on the grades and are kind of separate and equally massive in content. Thank you Stephen I had fun in the class. Hope to see you in Patho!
I could say tests are fair, mostly definitions of the terms. Lectures are boring but he goes pretty fast. Avoid if you are a procrastinator!
No engagement with the class. Essentially just reads the notes to you, which you can get online anyway. Tests aren't difficult, but are almost lazy by design (easy mark format rather than something to get you thinking). Can't recommend him on the basis of this course. Kind, very approachable guy, but you're better off reading the textbook.
He was pretty clear when explaining things and put the confusing things into words that made more sense. I enjoyed his class and his sense of humor...made everyone laugh for a class at 8:30 in the morning and tried to keep enthusiastic. I would take a class by him again for sure
The worse experience of teaching I've ever sat through for 4 months of my time. Extremely dry lecture. He just reads the powerpoint. Learned nothing except my own. His exams are hard, mostly written. Uses old school methods of teaching. Will never take another course will him. Nice guy though and jokes are dry.
Dry lecture as he just reads his power points word for word. Really no need to attend class since his notes are online. No need to buy the textbook. Tests are pretty straight forward but long as its mostly written. they are completely based off the notes. I would take his class again.
Connor was really helpful with explaining in lectures and labs, and was very nice! He cracked some corny jokes which were either funny or not funny at all, but definitely would recommend taking his classes!
very nice and happy guy but wow was this class difficult. I studied very hard and went to every class and got the worst grade of my college career. his tests are insanely hard so study your but off. the labs were so rushed and very little was actually learned. would not recommend to anyone
Stephen is a very enthusiastic presenter. His tests are a combination of MC, define/describe short answers, and a long answer. Many students had problems with his teaching/testing style, but if you happen to have a strong foundation in the sciences you'll be fine.
His tests are decent (MC, short answers, long answers). He tends to focus on some of the smaller stuff, and less on the incredibly complex processes (this converts to that, which converts to this). Read through his PPTs, and ask him Qs if you're not understanding, they can get confusing. No textbook use whatsoever.
Patho is a heavy course. It is so important to keep up with the readings.. and honestly by the end of the term its all crammed. But if you can maintain good study habits (read a little bit each day) YOU WILL DO FINE. Connor is an enthusiastic teacher who will help if you ask. Review your tests so you understand how you can improve. Good luck!
His exams focuses on all the small stuff, his notes are all over the place. Nice guy but not very good at explaining or answering questions clearly. Lectures are pretty much him reading off the powerpoint. be prepared to self-study and learn the material by yourself. If there's another prof. teaching the same course, I would pass on connor!
Stephen is a very enthusiastic teacher which is great, but it also makes him blast through the PP slides really quickly. Remember this is a PATHO class, not an anatomy class, so the long answer questions wont be based on normal body processes, he will focus on "so many bad things" (eg. the 3 P's of diabetes, or progression of HIV) GOOD LUCK!!!!
I liked him. He emailed me back with clear concise answers usually within several hours whenever I emailed him. His notes were confusing, so I just emailed him a lot/looked up stuff online. Overall time consuming course. Essay question style test questions. Do not take risks writing things that could be wrong. I got a good mark doing this.
very confusing notes and a very hard marker
Connor is a very confusing instructor. Exams are super tough and his grading criteria is beyond difficult. He's a nice guy generally speaking, but not the best instructor especially for a tough course like PATHO.
Although he is a very happy and friendly guy, Stephen is a very hard teacher. He does not tell the class what will be on the tests at all, absolutely no coverage. Marks very hard. His test are most written. Long answer & short answer with some multiple choice. His notes are all over the place and can be hard to understand. Wouldn't reccomend it.
THIS COURSE WITH HM IS SO BORING. He is a hard marker He does not have office hour, he says " he doesnt sit at his office waiting for student." If you take this course, you will do better studying on your own. He expects a lot from you even though ...
So specific in the marking, so rediculous. No assignments, only exams based on the smallest details in his notes. HARD HARD HARD. I'm barley passing in this class while getting an A in all my math and science courses.
Definitely would not recommend him. Terrible notes that are all over the place, tests are random words he picks from those notes that you have to describe, followed by maybe 10 multiple choice and a long answer. Dry lectures, learn most of the stuff on your own as he just reads the slides. Avoid if you can.
his test is all over the place but as he said it is all in the notes. During lecture, he focus on explain what the highlight parts means so you understand the brief details. Be aware sometimes the notes could be wrong or missing. He will explain what he wants in the answer and why he marks certain way. Very reasonable and will take again.
the notes are the power point slides that he uses in class (6 slides in 1 page) he literally reads the slides. his slides are in point form so if you don't go to his lectures or read the textbook, you will have a hard time understanding them. He knows the stuff, but he's just not a good teacher. self-discipline is necessary.
It's difficult but you know what you're getting into. His exams are all multiple choice and all based off his notes. Study his notes get an A. Don't study his notes and get an F simple.
Lectures are very heavy as Dr. Connor reads directly off of slides the whole time and it is a lot of information and new words to process. However when he uses analogies and stories it is helpful! He is very friendly in office hours and ready to meet up and help. Wish we were graded on more than midterms and the final exam though.
The course itself covered a lot of material. Stephens lectures were just the text book in bullet points. Failing one test could be detrimental to your grade. Hard to even get a credit for this class. Definition based, few pictures to work off of. You basically have to learn everything yourself. Oh & no office hours. Don't take if you don't have to.
He was the only professor left on my course selection and I heard about the reviews of him, but I chose him anyways. The textbook was never used in class and his lectures are just him summarizing the material. He goes really fast in his lectures and bases off your mark from the 2 lecture midterms. Only pick him if you can self-study.
Took his class recently (Fall 2016) and found him ok. His lecture notes are very messy and unorganized BUT you can still pass with just reading his notes but again be prepared to read the textbook. His exams are composed of M/C, short answers and one long question (any process learnt in lecture). He is very funny and a nice guy he will help you!
Stephen is an awesome teacher IMO. However, everyone has their own needs when it comes to learning. Stephen explains the content of the course like a story, and his powerpoint and notes cover the information explained in class with great detail. His assessments are plain & simple, no tricks up his sleeve. Everything you learn in class is fair game!
Stephen had extremely boring and dry lectures and his monotonous voice didn't help. Does not tell you anything about the 2 midterms or final and does not go over them after. Midterm class avgs were 58% and 55%. I had a full class and by the end of the semester there was only half of the class left, most doing poorly. Lazy prof avoid at all costs!!
His lectures will bring you to tears, and you don't have to show up to pass because he repeats his notes out loud during class. He doesn't believe in office hours and his tests have long answers/short answers but he is VERY specific in what he wants as a response. Nice person but awful teacher.
Dr. Connor is amazing!! I was scared from the reviews about him but he is so nice and SOOO easy!!! The course itself is obviously difficult and a lot of material to cover. But his multiple choice and written response are as easy as can get... just ask him and he will tell you EXACTLY what's on the midterms!! TAKE HIM IF YOU CAN. best prof ever !
His lectures are very dry and monotonous. He tries to make a story to make us understand clearly with making funny sounds like "pshhh" or "boom!". Basically learning on your own. He gives 2 midterms and a final and lab exams. Mostly are based on his notes, but needs textbook to get a good mark on short questions and a long question. Awful
Stephen is an awesome prof. His exams are pretty easy, so as long as you study everyday it shouldn't be hard to get an A. Attending class is a must, as he often gives very subtle hints for exam questions. His exams consist of MC, short answer, and 1 long answer. Textbook is not mandatory, but is useful for long answer processes. Overall, great guy
Stephen is a friendly guy; however, he is not easy to reach outside class since he only has two 30 mins office hour per week. His exam includes MC, definitions and along question (10 marks worth). MC are easy but both definitions and long question require detail answers. Recommend to read the text book if you want to ace his exams.
All he does is read the notes. Does not prepare students for tests AT ALL. such a bad bio teacher, if u need to take bio just wait for a better teacher you're honestly wasting your time and money.
His exams are extremely difficult and in order to pass his exams you have to study everyday. Would not recommend taking his class.
His classes were really boring and was just him reciting his notes pretty much so it was easy to skip classes bc you could never pay attention anyway. There was no homework or quizzes to help bump up your grade. everything was based on exams. You don't need a textbook. But you do need to know every single little detail on his lecture notes. study!
Lectures are boring- he reads directly from his slides. It's not really necessary to attend to get a good mark. The only reason I would take his class again is because his notes are a great summary of the textbook and the only resource you need for an A. Print them out bring a hilighter and make sure you can define everything he has highlighted.
Very straightforward professor. Lectures arent mandatory as he puts all his slides up online, but he does give hints on exam questions. Read and study his notes and youll do well on exams. However, its mainly self learning!
If you are taking BIO 1190 "again", then take this class. Benefits: no homework and no pop quizzes. Cons: 3 exams that are worth more than 20% each. If you're looking to manage a good gpa, you must study every day. Averages in his classes are very low. Classes are packed the first week and only a few make it to the end.
Stephen is a great guy. Lecture's aren't mandatory, but they're valuable as he's a good story teller and they reinforce the material. It is very possible to get an A+ in this class - to do this, make flashcards on all of the slides. Tested material is from slides. Know the slides thoroughly, and you'll ace this course.
EXTREMELY HARD GRADER. Considering your grade is dependant on passing exams, it is a very precarious position to be in. Lectures are monotonous and boring, the lack of engagement makes it difficult to determine what is expected of you and what you are expected to know and gain from the class. Would honestly recommend any other prof in the dept.
A very tough grader.
Funny guy, obviously loves his job but his class is hard because he talks so fast. He doesn't tell you what you need to know so it's just a lot of information. If your good at studying on your own and understand biology you'll do fine, ask him questions because hes better at explanations one on one.
you basically need to study on your own, lectures are super boring and no quizzes to boost up marks. He is also very picky and a tough grader when it comes to wording for the written part of his exams. If this is your first time taking the course, you should probably get someone else to really explain the information since bio is generally hard
If you expect the professor to hand everything to you maybe this is not the right course. If you are a keener you will get your A/A+. His exam questions are straight out of his notes and there are no tricky questions. Very very straight forward. Do your flashcards and you will ace this course. Highly recommend him!
he is really strict regarding grades.
Smart guy but a bad prof. Doesn't tell you what you need to study. Concepts on exams different from what's on notes and taught in lecture. Just reads off of class notes provided to us. If I had a gun to my head telling me to take him again or jump off a cliff. I'm jumping lol.
Doesn't teach, just reads off of slides. There are vague questions on the exams and he expects you to write down details that he never asked for. Do not take if you value your mental health.
Hard work pays off in every class except for this one. If you can't sleep during the night, show up to his class and he will put you to sleep with his lectures. If you can't read, no need to worry because he will read the powerpoint slides for you for the entire class.
Stephen is a horrible prof His grading SUCKS. More than 17 people dropped out of the class and maybe 5 made it to the end with probably 2 actually passing the class If you get a tiny part of like a 10 mark question wrong then the entire question is wrong Its basically impossible to pass unless you have a photographic memory doesnt care for student
I'm getting A's in all my other courses but did terrible is his. Class is 2 midterms and a final and he's a terrible and unfair marker. He'll only accept the answer he is looking for and will even give 0 on questions out of 10 if you don't write specifically what he wants (even if what you say on the topic is factually correct and from the notes).
long and boring course
Stephen is a nice prof who always tries to lighten up your day with a few jokes. His slides are simple and contain all the information you will be tested on. He recites them in class with more detail. The exams are straightforward and consist of MC, and written short and long answer questions. Make sure to study precisely and good luck everyone!!
Connor's lectures are extremely boring. All he does is read off of slides that he has already put on Brightspace. When teaching a heavy material subject, a little more enthusiasm and preparation on the teacher's part would be apprectiated. The use of youtube and khan academy is recommended as you will need to teach yourself. Beware: GPA killer
He has an interesting character. Very friendly but double faced. Likes nice chicks too and his face gets brighter when nice girl is in the class. He has a 10 point question aka chopping machine where he violates your grades. He doesn't have idea or computer skills. Not able to communicate on D2L and has an arrogant- smart attitude. Do not take him
Extremely boring lectures. He would just read his slides, make some sound effects, and attempt to joke. He's a terrible grader, as even correct answers, with the same info from his slides, is marked wrong. Never replied to emails, hard to reach in general. Told us to study notes during the quarantine and then disappeared. Not worth paying $2k+ for.
This guy here really cannot teach. If you don't self teach i guarantee you will fail the course. His exams are easy until you get to the 10 point long answer question. Even if you answer the question correctly you can get a 5/10, this will drop your test mark 1 or 2 letter grades. Literally don't take his class if you care about your mental health
I studied every day for this course and got deducted points for saying too much. I got an 85% avg mark for the lab portion with the lab instructors marking-which is all based off short answer but could only get no higher than a 71 for his exams. Super unfair prof, hes a nice guy but I would not recommend him to anyone.
Stay away from this "instructor". Make yourself a favor.
350 characters is simply not enough for me to explain all of the reasons NOT to have Stephen Connor as your professor. Please save yourself hours of studying, attending his lectures with hopes of learning, and the tears of getting an awful undeserved mark. If you can wait a semester to get another prof, please do it. Just trust me.
