Overall good teacher. Tests are very hard.At least 100 questions w/ crossword puzzle.Helpful in labs.If you work really hard you should pass.
Woah! Who said he was hot... Distorted eyesight. His tests are very very very very and I do mean very hard. They're like the SAT's but in bio. He is willing to help you if you ask, just don't get on his bad side. He has an evil side.
he's a GREAT teacher, will keep you interested in class lectures with his sense of humor! he's helpful if you are willing to try. his tests are VERY difficult though i must say! most the questions are concepts!! you can't just memorize stuff.
Very hard but I got a B. I was in his office asking for help at least once a week. The labs really help out your average. He is nice and tries to be funny which eases the tension. I liked him and I thought he was a great teacher.
Nice, funny teacher. I didn't think the tests were very hard, but if you're not a science major you may have troubles. Definate recommend.
he will keep you interested in class, he's a very funny guy! but his tests are VERY VERY hard. but there are a lot of points in the class so it does balance hard. be prepared to STUDY HARD if you want an A!
bio 1a,1b are hard classes, but teh is a good teacher and he'll make the class fun. tests r pretty hard, but he'll help u out if u need it.
good teach
I've conquered his class with an "A"!! This is an amazing teacher and if you need help he's more than willing to help! His lab and lecture are very entertaining! His finals are also easy, as long as you had attended class! DO NOT MISS CLASS!!!!!
Steve is a class act! His teaching style is energetic/humorous. I have never felt as comfortable in an office as his. Get in & talk to him!! Tests are hard, so you need to know your stuff!! If you can help it, get into his Lab!! The other one is harder!!
never took biology before this class and he was a great teacher! can't say i really liked the material, but, for what it was worth, he made it funny.
Teh is the man! I am a slacker and I could have studied more. He made it interesting & funny. I was able to get an A because he drills the info into your head.
He is a great teacher, really smart, really fun, and really hard if you don't study! Use the C.D lots of quiz Q's on there and some exam Q's on the C.D. If you can try to answer the study guides he gives you are set for a good grade!
Took Teh and laughed my a** off - cutest guy ever - looks like a little mouse. Great class but I goofed off so I didn't get an A. Just do your work and go to class and you'll do great!
He should be the department head because he is the greatest bio teacher at saddleback. This guy is such a good teacher, very friendly, clear, take him.
awesome teacher! he is fun and is really helpful. is goal is to get you to learn the stuff however it works for you. i'm not a science person AT ALL and i totally got it with him. TAKE HIM!
He is THE BEST IN ATTITUDE between all the bio teachers at saddleback. But he is hard and you need to put lots of time studying for his tests. I enjoyed his 3A class and got lots of help form him during 3B
easier and a better teacher than huntley. take him for 3a/3b
He doesn't put enough time in the labs and favors many based upon his own biases. I'd say if you have to take him then make sure your on his good side or else he'll mark you off for dumb reasons. You can't predict his mood and his grading habits.
Steve is without a doubt the best teacher I have ever had. His humor makes bio enjoyable and he is willing to stay after class to help you out. His tests are really hard but you just have to study a lot. Show him that you're there to learn!
Nothing to say, except that he's the best teacher ever!!
Hardest I ever worked for a grade; very fast pace. But very effective format, clear outlines, fun, humorous style.
Professor Teh is extremely dedicated to students. The Bio major course is difficult! Teh is hard on his 3A students in the beggining but, he lightens up. The 3B course is more difficult. Study for the Lab Practicals! Come to class prepared.
I would recommend Teh, but for our class it was a little too unstructured, these classes are relatively new so all of the teachers are still trying to figure out their teaching format. He's very helpful though, and approachable.
He's the hardest teacher I've had.You can't predict his mood.He's kinda helpful.I gotta say I learned from him alot.If you take him, you gottal prepare and think about real application
Very fun and energetic.He is all about application of learned material. If you have trouble with that then it is hard. If you can listen to lecture and soak it up then his test are easy. gives you lecture outlines to print and add to.
steve is a nice dude but u have to make sure ur on his good and happy side otherwise he is not gone help u and u will feel that so if u take this class make sure he likes u and it doesnt matter if ur a good student he must like u to help u .
steve is a good teacher because he makes you work for your grade, however he has favorites and its not fair to see your fellow classmates get higher test grades on certain subjective questions because of brownie points
I have never worked hard like this to get good grade.Once you understand the way he teaches you will learn a lot.I took bio since highschool but it is nothing. Sometimes, he has favourites. be prepare(I know that really sucks, it's life, honey!!
he is one of the wors teachers i've ever had he is really bad at gradeing and is tests are all about application and are very hard he definitly has favorites, not a very decent guy!!!!!
I have never taken a bio class before and i am doing quite well.This is not an easy class you need to understand applications,there are study guides and lecture outlines all you need to do is make the effort to print them.He is definately not boreing.
Steve is by far the best teacher at Saddleback. He explains all complicated topics. Very cool guy when it comes to him personally explaining something to his students. I got an A in his class and its all thanks to his teaching ability.
Great class. I thought this would be a horrible class but Steve is awesome. I have never laughed so hard in a biology class. He is one of the best teachers I've had at Saddleback. I would definitely recommend him to anybody. Don't get on his bad side though. Sit up front so he knows you. Great class
Steves class is pretty hard. Unless you want to sit at home every weekend and study there is no way to get an A in his class. His notes are unclear and he never explains papers that he assigns, most of the class had to redo every paper they turned in :( I would take bio at UCI.
Since I failed bio in HS, steve teh was recommended to me by a friend who had had him, and he is one of the best bio teachers i have come across. He teaches you things you will need for future semesters if you have a science major. Very helpful
I'm not a natural at the sciences, so I had to work hard. But I don't regret working hard for good grades with an awesome teacher! You need to learn from your mistakes. Not keep making the same ones. 1 of my fave teachers. Learned a tremendous amount and really learned how to study.
This class was very enjoyable. I was hard but yet fun. Pay attention and dot he extra credit and you should be fine with a b or better.
1 word AWESOME!! He is so cool and funny! I actually enjoyed his class. You have to try extremely hard to FAIL! I had a B average and was so close to a A after the final I got a A. Plus, If u have a A coming into the final u don't even have to take the final! Not to mention the final Super EASY!
I had no idea that I could actually be interested in Biology. He lectures are really entertaining. He gives you study guides for every test and quiz so you know everything that will be on them. But they are hard so be sure to study. He is also generous when grading. Take his class!
I do not think he's a great professor.He grades easier than huntley,however, this guy has favors so much.He's not fair at all. those said he's cool, simply because they're in his good site. So be prepared!!!
Great prof! He makes bio interesting and gets the class involved.He actually cares about his students and will help you as much as you need it to understand.To do well, you need to come to his lectures and lab is very important.Use the study guides and study for the tests and you'll do well.A + prof
He's a really cool guy. Easy tests if you pay attention in the class. Very helpful. One 2-page paper. 6 exams. Final is comprehensive but pretty easy. He seems to like the people who sit in the front rows, but that might be because we talk a lot in the back!!! :P
DO NOT RECOMMEND HIM AT ALL!!has favorites for sure. notes are not clear, he's very knowledgable but not a good teacher if you get on his bad side good luck!!
Teh is an awesome Prof. Anyone who says otherwise, must have been sucky students. He's a ton of fun, and extremely helpful.
Great guy. it is a hard class no matter what, he makes it fun though. the tests are based off the study guides, overachievers read the chapters but there is really no need. take him if you have to take this course.
Take a look at all of these ratings, and pay attention to how the Bio20 students rate him, and how the Bio3A-3B students rate him. That should give you an idea of what to expect.
Hard class but you can learn alot. Mr. Teh likes to talk about food even when your disecting a dead rat. Bio 3A has more busy work while 3B is tougher due to lab practicles. Funny guy, very nice.
Steve rules school. The summer class was so enjoyable with minimum amount of work that he told us not to tell anyone that we loved it. I got an A... i love you steve.

This man is soooo nice and he always cracks jokes on having little amounts of body hair because he's Asian! I don't like Biology at all but if you're like me and you mst take the class... take the lecture with him and the lab with Dr. Sanchez!
If he wasn't a biology professor he would make a great stand up comedian. Also one of the smartest man I know.
I failed high school bio but passed his class. He makes Biology fun!
big time favor, unfair if you're not cool. wanna check try out then you'll see. sometime nice sometime jerky a little bit. over all is ok
Deffinitly one of the BEST instructors at Saddleback. He really makes Bio fun and interesting. I had not taken Bio since high school and I got an A in his class. He really helped me prepare for Anatomy and I also got an A thanks to Teh.
A horrible teacher! his lecture is composed of pictures from the book. He tries to be friends with students in order to make up for his short comings as an instructor. Was not organized at all in 3B, he just didn't care the last 4 weeks of school.
everyone that has bad comments are lame. he is the chillest and explains everything you need to know. if you are reading this and you need a bio class... take his. hes pretty funny too
This was first Bio class I took at Saddleback. GIves study guides, practice exams, and extra credit. Has office hours. Really goes out of his way to help his students, and keeps subjects interesting. Take Tanimura for lab.
he is a good teacher! learned much better than in highschool which i failed. and i passed this class! woo! steve teh is a fun teacher.
Teaches with a sense of humor! Lectures are clear and he gives helpful "gouges" to help people remember the material. Very available for help outside class. Knows the material well. I highly recommend this professor to ANYONE taking Bio 20.
I had a blast in his class, it was the 6 week summer course and it went quickly. He is funny and easy going. During the summer he goes through the lab stuff quickly and his lectures are easy fill in the blank. He also gave us study guides for the test and he stuck to if for the test. Good luck!
really cool teacher. Really funny and makes class fun. his tests are pretty easy if you study a little. if you take bio with him, try to take his lab, it will help you out a lot.
Fun, 5'3" Asian, with a great sense of humor. 2-3 take home quizzes, 3 exams, 1 final. Gives EC. If you have an A up to the final, you may not have to take it. Must study, subject isn't easy. Explains in detail, if you have any questions, he will be happy to explain again (more than once!). Great guy, loves interaction with students. **TAKE HIM!**
best bio teacher ever!
He's a good teacher and a good man. He makes biology as comprehensible as possible by using examples everyone can understand...I mean he uses very plain language to describe bodily functions. Older students may take offense. You need a good sense of humor to take this class.
Great teacher. Nice and easy
well... if you are going to take him for BIO 3A ( which you might be forced too) i wish you good luck. He is a nice guy and is friendly to people and YES he DOES play favorites, but he is a bad teacher. His lecture is just a bunch of picture slides out of the book, and he does somewhat cover the material, but YOU MUST READ THE BOOK. Tests are hard!
Best teacher I have ever had! Yes his class is hard, but it's Bio 3A. This class in general is hard. I loved his class and have a great understanding of Biology now. He even stayed two hours after class to study with my study group before the test. He knows his stuff and truely wants you to get it. Ask questions!
STEVE TEH! what more can i say? professor of the year for 06-07, and it shows! very fun class and i learned ALOT about biology, even for an intro course. he is a really great guy and has the funniest analogies to relate to the text. there is really never a dull moment in class. YOU ROCK STEVE!
Great Teacher I got an A with out even trying. Take Prof Teh if you have to take Bio 20. He is the best.
Great professor!! Subject matter is easy to understand because of his explanations. Four exams, but he drops the lowest score. If student has an A going into the final, they will not need to take the final. Be sure to take the lab with him as well.
BEST TEACHER EVER! SOOO helpful, so clear with everything, entertaining and funny. makes a LOT of jokes (even on the tests). 3 tests total, drops lowest score. Dont have to take the final if you have an A going into it. Do not take bio with any other teacher. I was actually sad when the class ended!!
Teh is one of the best teachers Ive had. He's super helpful and help you out as much as you need. Make sure you go to all the classes and do all the labs. Test are a little hard but read the chapters. He's super fun and the class is awesome!
the best teacher i have ever had. made it fun and easy to learn. added humor to science.
i took him in the summer. we went on field trips that I didn’t learn a lot from. i got an A in the class but had to work hard for it. he is a nice guy and i recommend taking him for bio 20.
THE BEST TEACHER EVER!!! Study for the test do the practice test especially the first one because almost all the questions are on it. Also study notes and QUIZZES! The FUNNIEST ASIAN I'VE EVER MET!!
Hey gives a lot of information, but you can tell that he enjoys teaching his classes. His labs,are always interesting, because it is always a surprise to hear what he will say.
very good teacher, relates every thing back to life situatuions so every thing is very understandable. not strict at all and he cracks jokes all the time. Very nice guy, easy to talk to and very clear pronunciation of words and is very clear on key points and takes his time
Compares almost everything to life situations that everyone can relate to. Has fun & makes lots of jokes, enjoyable class. Gives clear study guides for every test. Reviews before every test & quiz (very helpful). Occasional 10-15q quizzes in lecture (easy), 10-15q quiz (easy) almost every lab. Only homework is labs and one 2-page article critique.
Yup. Don't read any further - if the class is still available TAKE IT. Teh is awsome. No where, ever, will you be able to find a Biology teacher with the same amount of humor (real, not cheesy) and helpfulness that Teh contains! I got an A because I COULD NOT NOT LISTEN! And he reviews everything before we are tested on it. TAKE THE CLASS.
I was lucky to have him for Bio 3A but I was SUPER lucky to have him for Bio3B. He is a really nice guy. Ask all the questions you have. Go to lecture AND lab ALL the time, it'll help you out ALOT. Read too cuz sometimes he doesnt go over everything during the lectures. Just have fun
This teacher is absolutely amazing. I had no interest in biology, and in fact had failed the class once before. Teh made it interesting, and applied the concepts to real life situations. He genuinely cares about his students, and doesnt want anyone to fail. If you are having any doubt about this teacher, dont. Take him!
He is amazing!!! I HATED bio and went into the class dreading it, but after the first week, I loved it. He explains everything sooo clearly and makes sure you understand it. He is hilarious also! TAKE HIM!!!
Amazing, hilarious! I actually survived bio because he made it tolerable and somewhat interesting!
Good teacher, he wasn't prof of the year for nothing! Take his lab, his students do better overall. Tests aren't exactly easy, but just study some. You don't have to take the final if you do well on teh other tests. Labs are pretty easy. He's funny and interacts with the class. He also learned everyone's names! No dissections. Definitely recommend.
Steve Teh is one of those professors you'll never forget. I took Bio 20 to fulfill a requirement, now I'm a Bio major transferring to Berkeley. Bio 20 was relatively easy, however, you must study; it is biology! Bio 3A was more challenging, but he engages his students and makes learning fun. Makes ppl laugh all the time! Take him, he's amazing!!!
He's awesome and he cares about his students. I would have never thought studying BIOLOGY would be interesting and fun. His tests aren't easy but he's always there to help out.
He's great! Will help anyone, he spend so much extra time with me on his own time, even if it's not about Bio! He cares for every student and will compromise to help you at your own time as well. JUST TAKE HIM! he's hilarious!
Prof. Teh!!!! YOU ROCK!!!
honestly one of the greatest prof. i have taken. eager to help you, never a dull moment in his class TAKE HIS CLASS you will not regret it
BEST TEACHER EVER!
I hated biology until i took this course!
Best teacher ever!!!
He's very sweet, funny, and laid-back. He makes lectures and labs nothing to worry about.He grades fairly, too. He is a great professor overall.However, there is a huge amount of workload in this class that may seem discouraging. But, given the effort, he will see through that and award you with the grade you deserve for your efforts.
i wish every teacher was like him! the perfect teacher probably. he makes biology really interesting and easy to learn. he's extremely helpful, professional and easy going. its teachers like him who make saddleback a top notch community college.
Teh is very nice and funny. The problem I had is that he jokes around too much, people are talking, its hard to hear/see, then he expects you to know so much for the test. The that I didn't like the most was lab. The handouts are TERRIBLE! You spend most of your time trying to figure out what you need to know, and example pictures don't exist.

He is an awesome teacher!Attend class all the time if you want to do well on the exams. He's easy going and gives a lot of examples so you can understand all the concepts. If you want a good teacher that can actually teach biology, take Teh! He is the best! Quizzes are take home. Gives EC. Not a hard class if you study. Best teacher at saddleback
I came onto rate my professor just to rate professor Teh. Biology majors, this is your dream come true; Steve Teh is a wonderful, caring professor and he will help you if you ask. Class takes studying and there is a adequate amount of work, so do not sign up if you're looking for an "easy A". Besides that, nothing but positives for my man, S. Teh!
I had a total crush on Teh. Weird I know. Great teacher just study.
The people that leave bad ratings down below obviously did not show up to class, pay attention, did not study, or did not even try! Teh is a wonderfule teacher, and is very intelligent. He cares about his students a lot. He wants you to do well. All you have to do is study the notes, and pay attention and you'll do fine! Just do that
Best prof. I've had. He loves the material, makes it fun, tests are fair. He wants you to succeed.
Prof Teh was awesome.Not much homework, but lots of studying required for an A. Very helpful, funny, nice guy. Hiiighly recommended! Make sure you do the study guides too. Take him!
Wow, I am so happy I waited and took this class with Teh, he's the best bio instructor there is at saddleback! all the difficult terms were explained sooo clearly, which is what any intro to bio student need, Thanks Teh!!!
HIS THE MOST AMAZING TEACHER, HIS VERY HELPFUL, ALSO VERY FUNNY HE MAKE THE CLASS FUN. ALSO HIS CLASS IS PRETTY EASILY AS LONG YOU STUDY AND FOR SURE YOU'LL GET AN A THE ONLY THING I DONT LIKE IS DOING LAB ... BUT OVERALL YOU SHOULD TAKE HIS CLASS
BEST BIO TEACHER! He makes lecture fun/funny/interesting and uses real life examples/stories. Gives out accurate study guide prior to exams. Majority of time, got out of lab class about an hour early. Everyone at a lab table just switches notes/observations & makes it easy. Just study before exam and do all the labs & you'll get an A.
HILARIOUS. best bio teacher on campus. Gives good examples for everything discussed and is not afraid of falling behind on the difficult subjects! Take him!!
Teh's class is extremely easy and fun in a lecture hall. We do notes, he makes a lot of analogies to the material and simplifies everything with jokes. We only got 9 chapters done instead of the 13 so the final easy. he drops your lowest test grade and tests are curved and have answers like" Hm...this class is horrible!" Take this class!
Great class. Exams are based on everything talked about so it's best if you attend. And as long as you review your notes you should do well. He keeps everything interesting and relatable. He's super funny!
If you put in just a little bit of work, you can easily get an A. I think having taken chemistry classes before this had a lot to do with my success. He goes off-topic a LOT, but he's entertaining. You don't have to come to class, but it helps. I would recommend him:)
BEST TEACHER EVER! His lectures are interesting and dont bore yout to death. I would reccomend going to the lecture just so you know what he is talking about. He gives a study guide that is a lot of information, but really helps when it comes to the test because he gives you the essay questions that will be on the test. He is very helpful!!!
Easy going professor. His test are not that bad. Know your stuff, you'll do fine.
Let me just say that I look forward to going to class. I love learning threw humor and this is how he teaches. I am taking this class with my sister and we both found ourselves talking about him and how funny class was. It has been awhile since I had been in school and he made it a great and easy transition for me.GET A SEAT IN THIS CLASS ASAP!!
Is an extremely good proffesor, and I wished that I had taken him for lab too cause I would have gotten a better grade. Makes the subject very understandable and wants everyone to do well and will take the time to make sure that happens.
Easy going professor. He'll try to keep understanding biology as fun as possible. In the end, you still have to know the materials. Lots of lazy pre-meds are taking this class, don't get behind.. Trust me, it's not easy to get an F in this class..
Loved this class, it was actually very time consuming and should have probably given 3 for easiness, but you end up spending so much time in labs that you learn lecture material during lab. Very helpful, great teacher.
BEST BIO TEACHER ALIVE!! he is so funny and makes biology interesting and shows great examples. tests are easy, and he writes in corky questions for fun and to help you get better grade on tests! take him for lab. best class!!!
he is awosome, best bio teacher ever. his class is amazing, if you want to enjoy biology take this teacher
Best Bio Teacher ever...take him. His class if actually fun.
Without any previous bio experience, this class was really tough. Luckil, Teh is the most amazing teacher ever! He is absolutely hilarious!! His exams are pretty hard, but you just have to put in the time and effort. He's always willing to help out if you need to. Such a great teacher.
Can be a very accommodating professor, if you are among his select favorites. If you are out of this group, you are pretty much on your own. I had a family crisis the semester I was in his class, and he made no attempt to help, but rather made it clear the extent of his indifference by ridiculing me in class.
Great teacher. Answered all questions that were asked. TAKE HIS CLASS.
One of the best teachers I ever had was always there to work with me and always answered any questions I had
Go to class, take notes and you shouldn't receive less than a B. He's a really good teacher and makes the class about as interesting as you possibly could. Take him if you get the chance.
Professor Teh is an amazing teacher! he gives you study guides for all the tests and teaches by his notes! had his for lab with only 10 point quizes each week, no lab tests at all! the book helps to clarify some things! attendance isnt mandatory, he checks somtimes but if you dont show up than all you are doing is missing out on notes. TAKE HIM!!!!
Teh was an awesome teacher! Actually made Bio very interesting! You have to study alot to get an A!
It is really a shame saddleback only offers two choices for bio professors. Hands down the worst professor I have ever taken, please take this class if you are masochistic and plan on hating life for a semester!
AWESOME TEACHER! most helpful professor I've had so far. Make sure you show up and do all the labs and GO TO LECTURES! His lectures are fun, so Idk why anyone wouldn't. He's such a nice, funny, and blunt teacher when he needs to be. Highly recomemnd him
Loved him! This was my first bio class and I got an "A" no problem. He makes class entertaining but moves quickly! Going isnt mandatory but everything is mainly off of lecture notes and he just uses the book as a "back up refrence" all quizzes are take home, which is always nice! Take him!!
Prof. Teh is one of the best teachers I have had at saddleback. pay attention to his lectures, go to the albs, participate and he will do all he can to help you pass. He knows his stuff. Very smart guy, down to earth. -K.Lozano
Take him for as many Bio classes as you can. He is great and really cares about his students. Not to mention, he is sooooo funny!!!
Best teacher I love his sense of humor even I love how he throws in life experiences to help us understand, Great Great teacher!
Funniest and coolest professor at Saddleback, hands down. Teaches really well and includes anecdotes to support and help understanding. VERY helpful, kind, and concise/clear. He makes biology fun and makes you look forward to class everyday. Take him for as many bio classes as you can! WE LOVE YOU PROFESSOR TEH! Bio20Lab 2011!
Sensei Teh is absolutely the best professor ever!!! The material is tough, but if you put in the work, its no problem at all. Teh makes sure you're always on track, and hes so hilarious during class that it's always a fun lecture! BEST. PROFESSOR. EVER!!
He is the best!! He gives a lot of examples for everything, especially for examples, so make sure you eat before class! He makes the class interesting and easy to understand! loved him! can't wait to have him for bio20
Professor Teh is the best teacher there is!! The material is hard but as long as you put in the work you'll be fine! He's amazing and super funny! Definitely recommend taking him!
This is hands down one of the best professors at Saddleback College. I have NO interest in Bio but I actually looked forward going to this class. Yes, it is college and you have to study to get an A, but isn't that the entire point? This is no doubt the best Bio class in Southern California. SO TAKE HIM ALREADY.
4 Exams and lab practicals. Helps to read the book chapters. Fairly straightforward and doable. But lab practicals are a lot harder. Really helpful and opens labs on weekends. Bad with email. Nice and easygoing. Much more flexible than Huntley with research project. Learned a lot with a sense of humor. No quizzes. Work hard for A. One of the best.
Although bio. is already interesting, Teh managed to make it even more so! Excellent teacher, class is actually enjoyable. Like any other any other bio. class, this is a lot of work, but an 'A' is VERY easy if you study hard, do all the assnmnts (lab & lect), and go to class!
Lecture: Attendance mandatory, about 6 lect. quizzes (take-home), 1 short article critique (2 pgs), 4 exams (lowest is dropped), 1 final. Extra credit-YES. + Lab: Weekly lab, weekly quiz, lab final. Don't let this work load scare you, ALL Bio classes are like this! Teh is a great professor & makes an "A" VERY doable!
He is AWESOME! I am currently taking him, and i was having hard time keeping up with my classes, but this guy made bio so easy! and plus he's the most helpful teacher ive ever had in saddleback! he replies to email with an hour which is a blessing! if i ever have to take bio again ill definitely come back to Steve! cool guy
BEST BIO TEACHER EVER!! He knows how to make a hard subject easy. His lectures are so fun since he gives examples based on his experiences and life. I love that because it is easy to remember and have something to refer to. Take his classes. You won't regret it. I will try to take every single Bio class he teachers. (:
He's a really good professor. You have to listen a lot though the exams are really hard basically it's a really hard bio class and if this is going to be your first bio class you're not gonna get an A but I took bio 20 before this class which helped a lot. DEFINITELY tape his voice during lecture and listen again at home and take really good notes
Great professor. Took him during the summer & got an easy a. Study & do the work & you'll do great. Many multiple choice lab quizzes but if you go to lab its easy. Super friendly & funny during lectures & offers extra help when you need it. By far the best professor at saddleback. Don't be late for his class or you'll have to buy doughnuts
AWESOME professor! I had him for lab and he is the coolest teacher I've had at Saddleback. He makes the labs fun and is always cracking jokes in class. Very easy to talk to and ask questions if you don't get it.
Wow such and AWESOME TEACHER!! So amazing with how explains things and connects it to his own life. He is freaking HILARIOUS! Love this teacher and would highly recommend him to anyone taking biology courses at saddleback college.
Steve is AWESOME. He is very interested in this subject and he tells jokes about how his wife is a nurse and she encounters gross and funny situations. He is very helpful and prompt with his emails. He explains things very clearly and if you still don't understand he is glad to help. This class was the best/most fun class I have ever had.
One of the best teachers that I've had at Saddleback, he does an amazing job when it comes down to explaining how to do the assignments/labs, he wont let you fail. As well as he makes the labs fun and interesting :)
He is one of the best teacher in saddleback but his tests makes you hate biology!!its super hard,you have to drop other courses and just put your energy for this class!If you want to get good grade I dont recommend him at all!!
He is really a great teacher. Extremely approachable and knowledgeable. Class is incredibly difficult and you really have to put the effort in, but he will help you stay on top of things.
Prof Teh is an awesome teacher. Everything you need for the class is included in his lectures. Use the book for extra study and clarification. Tons of extra credit available. His lab is great too!
Professor Teh is the best teacher I have ever had, he teaches with bringing real life examples and you will absolutely love Biology if you takes his bio3b class. Lab practicals are challenging but don't forget to record everything and study a lot for practicals, I did and ended with all A+ one word he is amazing, nice and care to students a lot.
PROFESSOR TEH is the best, he knows his job very well, he is supper energetic and smart, answer all of your questions patiently. I loved his class and enjoyed learning biology because he really teaches you, unlike other biology teachers at saddleback that I don't wanna mention here he is very helpful and cares a lot. I love you professor TEH .....
Bio 3B is probably one of the hardest classes in Saddleback but professor Teh was so clear and helpful about it. Also the lab practicals are so hard you have to put time and effort for this class
Teh is super funny! He makes this class such a breeze!! if you have an A going into the final you will not have to take the final and also he drops the lowest test score! Try to get him for lab too!
He is the best biology professor ever !really good!
Professor Teh is great at what he does! I took his 6 week course during the summer and wish it was a longer class! His classes are never boring, he always incorporates stuff that tie in with what he's teaching. Such a great professor, highly recommend him. Easy tests, lab, and quizzes.
Professor Teh is one of the best Biology teacher I ever seen. He is really helpful, clear and knowledgeable. Biology 3B is really hard course, it need hours studying. There is points for exams, lab practicals, and research assignments. STUDY EVERYDAY ! He is always there to help you, ask him for any questions. He is absolute amazing teacher.
Professor Teh is absolutely amazing! He is super funny and makes the class really entertaining. The biology labs are easy to understand and sometimes we get out earlier depending how long the labs are. It is an easy A if you do all the homework, show up for labs, and study for the easy short quizzes. Good luck! I highly recommend him!
He's awesome. He's clear and explains everything in ways that are easy to understand. He's so much fun and extremely helpful. He'll walk you through anything without making you feel stupid.
Steve Teh is an overall great teacher who helps his students immensely. Mr. Teh makes the classroom a fun and comfortable environment and his class is a breeze if you do the work.
First of all he is a wonderful person. Take notes in the lecture and work hard. Beside the exams and project, there are lots of work to do in this class which if you spend time on them, they pump up your grade. It is a little hard to find him but generally he is great. I highly recommend him.
Professor Teh is an amazing professor! He is very clear on what will be on the test, gives detailed lectures, is easy to understand, funny, helpful, and ultimately made Bio 30 a class I would love to take again! If you are thinking of taking Bio, take it with Professor Teh! Study for quizzestests, take notes, and read, and you will do great!
Professor teh is definitely a legend at saddleback. You can tell hes very well likes by everyone there no doubt because of his humor. He treats all his students with respect and even when he pokes fun at you is never disrespectful. Bio 20 in general is a very difficult class but having teh makes the load much more feasible. throws a potluck too.
I really enjoyed having Prof Teh for Lab. He's smart, funny, and has clear grading criteria. If you have questions, just ask him and he'll help you. Gives extra credit opportunities and if the class does well he may have a protein denature final for you (cooking, potluck) which is by far the best final I've ever had. Full timer, so has office hrs
He is amazing professor , I LOVE HIS CLASS.
He is one of the best professors that I have had.
Listen and study his study guide and you will pass for sure. Expect no boring lectures.
By far one of my favorite teachers here! I was never a science person, but he made it so interesting and easy to learn. I looked forward to his class, and he made concepts that I had previously found confusing incredibly clear. He gave me confidence to pursue a health science degree. Take him if you can!! He's the best! Thank you, Professor Teh!
Amazing! I had him just for the lab and He is great. Quizzes are funny, he puts the answer as very obvious. He goes over what is covered in lectures so you actually understand it. Show up and you will do fine
GREAT teacher. Makes class interesting. Practicals were tougher than exam. Multiple choice tests w short answers but he will tell you what to look for. Labs aren't bad but attendance is must. STUDY for practicals! don't wait last minute. 1st 2 practicals are the hardest. Class gets easier towards the end. Help each other! Teh for 3B instead of Hunt
Words cannot describe how incredible Professor Teh truly is. Never have I learned, laughed, or looked forward to any class as much as I have 3A&B. His immense care for his students is obvious and he doesn't try to be tricky, he tests on what he lectures. I so wish I could take more classes with him, he is truly a one of a kind teacher & inspiration
Teh is an amazing professor and person. He's a no BS guy and keeps lectures entertaining. 3B was significantly harder than 3A because of practicals. Study as he covers the material! Pictures from textbook help with lecture exam concepts. He genuinely cares for his students and respects them. Loved the Bio 3A and 3B series with Teh!
Teh is pretty awesome. If you've ever seen the show Dexter, he's just like Vince Masuka. It's a pretty easy class though and BIO 30 doesn't have any labs which is nice. Pay attention, take notes, and you'll do fine. His class does use Connect so its like a $200 required textbook. If you have an A by the final, you don't have to take it.
Hilarious, easy to listen to and relates as many topics with real life situations as possible. He does tell a lot of stories about his life (especially biking) but in a very fun and educational way. Really enjoyed his class and was easy.
if you're late X mins, you HAVE to buy donuts, pizza. Mandatory field trips, if you cant make it, you lose points! or if it conflicts w. other classes, "OH WELL, choose this class or other one" required HUGE time-consuming research project. hard lab practicals & lect exams. DON'T take this class w. other sci class. NICE GUY THO! NICER THAN HUNTLEY
Teh's the best! Taking his lab was by far one of the best decisions I've ever made academically. Lab is really engaging, entertaining, and productive. Not only that, he's hilarious. You'll have a hard time not getting a good grade
One of the best bio professors I have had thus far in my career. He's a no-nonsense guy, but at the same time a really laid-back and cool person. Better yet, he doesn't trick anyone on lecture exams and practicals (a huge help). He could be wishy washy on directions though. Basically, he's a one-of-a-kind professor who loves to help his students.
Best bio professor ever!!!!!!
HE is the best! Super nice and funny guy who really wants you to pass. As long as you show up for lab and do your work you will pass. HE is really understanding and easy to talk to. There was no final since the class did well in all the labs and work!
Where has Steve teh been all my life? Why couldn't I have him for biology in high school? Don't miss out on this professor. He is amazing and real good at what he does. You won't be disappointed.
Byfar the best professor I've had. High energy and he wants you to get you to a level of passing and will help you out a ton. Take this professor! Highly recommend
Professor Teh is amazing. The labs are easily explained. If your late you have to bring donuts for the entire class. He offers extra credit by you donating blood. There are study guides for all of his tests. Take him!!! i wish he was my professor for every class!
Steve makes this class very fun, and has been understanding of my chronic illness, which I greatly appreciate. The labs aren't too hard and tend not to last the whole class period, but you learn what you need to. Would recommend.
One of the best Biology teachers I've ever had!! Super funny, his class only met once a week for an hour to two hours. Quizzes were very easy and not long. Super good at explaining everything and sends out grade emails occasionally! Recommended if you are looking for a fun and easy lab teacher.
Favorite teacher at Saddleback! He teaches so effectively by using hilarious analogies you can't get out of your head. He is very friendly, personable, and enthusiastic. He grades quickly and wants you to succeed! Studying with the book is necessary to get an A if you haven't taken a bio class before. Take him! If you don't you are missing out!
Teh is a great prof he cares about his students and wants them to pass. Really funny guy but need to be at his lectures if you want a chance to pass if you don't get bio like me ask questions.
Professor Teh makes biology even more interesting than it is. You can see how passionate he is about the subject in his lectures. He is a very fair grader and goes the extra mile to help you succeed.
Steve was, by far, the best professor I've ever taken, hands down. This guy cares so much and is hilarious to the point to where your sides will hurt from how much the class laughs together. Do all of the work with decent effort and there's no way you can't get an "A", let alone pass. We had quite a few pizza parties due to late stragglers. :)
Prof. Teh is great!! He is funny, caring, and makes class fun. I looked forward to his class and his tests/quizzes are doable. If you can take him and be ready to learn about biology while having a good time!
Taking intro to biology was a lot of fun with Professor Teh. Lectures were never boring, as he added his own stories into the mix. He is very clear on what you need to know. There are quizzes that are take home. The exams are easy if you go over the study guide. Defiantly would take another class with him.
Professor Teh is the best biology professor at Saddleback. His lectures are very entertaining. His exams are on topics that he covers in class. He never puts topics he doesn't cover in class on quizzes or exams. Biology is not an easy class, but as long as you put in the effort and show up to class, you will earn a good grade.
I loved this class! Every week I looked forward to coming! Prof. Teh is amazing and I learned way more than I ever imagined I could. Take good notes, pay attention, and the class will be a breeze.
I did badly in this class, and I normally get good grades even in science classes. I never missed a class. I wouldn't recommend this teacher.
Professor Teh is one of the best professors I've had. He really reignited my love for the sciences with his background knowledge on any questions you might have and all his experience with biology. In the 4B class, we even took field trips where we were able to apply all the stuff we learned in class to nature. Amazing professor!
He is the best professor at the Saddleback College. His lectures are top-notch. I didn't like science class, but after taking his bio class, I became confident in biology. I wish he would teach all the bio classes. If you follow his directions well, you will definitely get the best grades. Take his class !! You won't regret it!
He is a top professor at Saddleback University. His lectures are excellent. I didn't like science class, but after taking his biology class, I became confident in biology. If you follow his instructions well, you will surely get the best score. Take his class !! You won't regret it!
Professor Teh is a legend. He gives excellent and fun lectures. Be sure to take notes in class and anything he writes on the board as well. The labs arent a pain and if finished early you are good to go. Few quizzes are given and exams are multiple choice with a few free response questions that are from the notes. Take him, you wont regret it!
BEST Professor I've met. After years being out of school, I was some what nervous to take a Science class but Prof. Teh has been extremely understanding, compassionate and makes you feel comfortable. He's so full of energy which helps during his lectures and uses crazy funny analogy's to help you better understand/remember stuff. I'll miss him!
This was a great class, but sometimes he got a little off topic during lectures. Super nice and pretty easy test. Minimal amount of work, but the textbook helps when trying to understand what he left out in class.
I had to take a week off of classes for a medical missions trip to Kenya, and still did great in the class. Prof. Teh makes biology easy to understand, even for those of us who aren't scientifically inclined.
If you are not the greatest in Science, I recommend this professor. Breaks things down to simple terms. Genuinely concerned with the success of his students. Is very passionate during his lectures. The tests are pretty straight forward and come directly from lecture. I have the most confidence recommending Steve Teh to all students.
Prof. Teh is one of the best teachers i've ever had. He is very caring, understanding, and makes an effort to make sure you're getting along alright with the course. He makes bio a lot more fun. ***Make sure you take note of everything he writes on the board during lecture, including any diagrams he draws, you'll probably see it on the exam.***
One of the best bio professors you can get, he is a real gem. He is very clear with what is expected of you and really wants to keep is students intrigued and passionate instead of forcing tons of information that students end up forgetting a week later. Show up and participate, he makes this class an easy one to want to show up at.
When I first read all these reviews about how great of a teacher Professor Teh was I thought there's no way he's that good. But he is. His class has 5 exams in total, lab's are fun and somewhat easy, and he drops your lowest test grade. He teaches biology in a way that truly makes it interesting and easy to comprehend. I wish he taught every class.
Let me just start by saying I did not take this class for fun. However, Teh made it so bearable! I took this course over the summer, and it was the smartest decision ever. I thoroughly enjoyed his lecture, his personality was so much fun, and he is really passionate about teaching. Easily made bio understandable for non-science people, like me.
Prof. Teh is AWESOME! He's honestly so much fun and he explains concepts in a way where they are easy to understand. Pay attention in lecture (As someone who usually has trouble concentrating, he made lectures too much fun to ignore) and do the study guides. There are extra credit opportunities. Easy A if you actually try.
Steve is by far the most amazing professor I have had after being a Saddleback student for two years. Although I'm taking this class online because of the COVID pandemic, he still does his best to read everything and help his students as much as possible online. He provides extra credit on his exams which is really nice. I 110% would recommend him.
Steve is amazing. He is just simply the best. Definitely take him, you won't regret it. He probably cares for his students more than my parents every cared about me LOL. Sadly, I had him online because of COVID19 pandemic and this is my last semester at SB, but I wish I had taken more classes with him so I could connect with him in person.
Professor Teh is one of the best professors I have ever had. Hes hilarious, really cares about science and loves to teach it! He invests so much time into his students and really wants everyone to succeed and get an A. You will not regret taking his class as long as you work hard, pay attention to lectures and take notes!
I love him. His lectures are so informative, I still wanna go back and watch them even after the class has ended. He wants you to learn you still have to take exams and do the assignments, but he is a sane professor who understands his students and wants you to get an A. Unlike many professors who go out of their way to make sure to ruin your GPA
I really wish i had taken him for bio 22, 4a, and 4b. I took all of those bio classes with horrible professors at IVC and they all made sure I was miserable in their courses. He really wants his students to do well while learning the material not to just get a grade. he helps you out with grades if you deserve his help and show that you are trying
He's amazing. He's kinda dorky but I love him. Trust me, just take his class.
I took Steve Teh for Fall 2020, everything was online. He is very informative in his lectures and makes things fun. He gives great feedback on homework and discussion posts. Class is optional, only used as "office hours" in case you have any questions. He is also available outside of class if you need it. Email him anytime as well!
Prof Teh is the best! During covid he taught bio (lecture and lab) online and he did an amazing job!! He wants every student to succeed. Go to his online office hours and ask him any question: he's there to help. Lots of exams, but he drops the lowest score, and one project at the end. Do the work and you will get a good grade.
Professor Teh goes a little off-topic during lectures. He's really nice and gives a manageable amount of work, but the textbook helps a lot when trying to understand what he leaves out during class.
I enjoy the class and enjoy the material. No problem with Professor Teh. What I don't enjoy, is the online instruction but that is not his decision. I'm disappointed because I can tell from the lecture videos he loves being in class, while I'm working at home, I'm wishing I was in person. Nice professor, and funny too! Take him LIVE in Fall 2021!
Prof Teh is such a good professor and I learned so much from his class. You can tell that he cares so much about his students and is very flexible if you need anything. His assignments are very clear, and he offers a lot of opportunity for extra credit. He is so eager to help and teach every one of his students. I strongly recommend taking Teh!
Seriously the best teacher I have ever had. Especially being my first science class I had taken since junior year of high school I was nervous but overall was a great class. It was an easy A, not too stressful, and he was always super understanding and lenient. I LOVED HIM
In Professor Teh's videos, it's obvious he cares & knows his stuff. I wish I got to take this course in person, he seems so fun and I can tell from recorded labs that his class would be so great live! Zoom times are office hours for help and questions, not required. He always give great feedback!
The guy is a literal gem. He stayed up with the majority of the students, I got a B in his class only out of laziness because of COVID and whatnot. View his lectures, and do his assignments as it reinforces what he teaches, and his exams are based on lectures.
Took this class for Spring 2021 (full term). EASIEST BIO20 YOU COULD EVER GET. 1 lab every week, 1 discussion board every week (mostly 8-10 minutes ted talk, no min. words but at least 2 replies), 1-2 quizzes every week and also easy. Prof Teh is very accessible and gives feedback for exams and quizzes. He's funny and makes a lot of jokes.
Prof. Teh is one of those people where it's very obvious they know a lot, you just have to ask a lot of questions to extract that info. Lecture videos & directions on assignments can get confusing, but he clears it up during office hours if you ask. Really chill, easy to approach. I cannot emphasize how important it is to listen to his lectures.
Teh is a great guy that cares about his students success. His passion for teaching biology is evident! I would recommend him to everyone & I'm taking him for 4B next semester as well! Exams are based on his lectures so make sure to thoroughly know the lecture material!
I took mr. Teh for BIO20 online summer class and he is the best bio teacher ive had. I passed with a 90% and i suck at science. Obviously you have to do your part and submit your homework but he is lenient on late assignments and grading. His lectures are intersting and ws/exams are based off of lectures and study guides. Very cool teacher.
Professor Teh is one of the most caring professors I have ever had. This was my first in-person class at community college so I was really nervous. This course covers A LOT of material. My best advice is to go to office hours as much as you can. I went 1-3x a week and he really helped me prepare for exams! He's the best. CHOOSE HIM FOR BIO4A/4B!!!!
It would be a mistake not to take professor Teh. He makes lectures and labs incredibly funny, and is always eager to help you. The labs are engaging, however his online lectures are very long. Professor Teh also does a great job at making the more difficult concepts easy to understand.
Professor Teh is so funny, he really makes the class fun. He's a little all over the place and not the most online-savvy but he's quirky, understanding, and in my opinion A gem of a teacher. loved him, take his class! don't buy a textbook you don't need it I didn't open mine once.
Teh is an absolute gem. He cares about his students and our success in the class. I took his hybrid 4A course and liked how labs were due the week after we conduct them. I didn't have to drive to school as often and I was way less stressed. I had a lot of fun in his class and I genuinely feel like I was learning with the right amount of pressure.
I believe that all classes taken during summer semester is hard. It will take so much effort and time for a student to pass. I took Bio20 in summer and was not easy at all. Lectures are done at your own pace and time, but labs are definitely mandatory to pass. Professor Teh is very approachable, caring, and helpful and made the class easy and fun.
Truly great teacher. Really cares about the students and makes the class easy. I had a hybrid class with him. Labs are done in groups. Lectures were prerecorded. He is very funny and the class can be very enjoyable as long as you take notes from lectures and answer the study guide questions.
6 weeks summer class, lots of quizzes but online, super easy. If you listen to him in the class you'll definitely get an A!!! All exams and quizzes are online. only exams are protected by Proctorio. Super nice and funny, you're allowed to resubmit your homework. I would definitely recommend his class!
I wish I had Teh for all my classes. He's so entertaining in class & a vv caring prof at all times. His exams can be difficult but I've excelled in his class bc of participation & communicating w him. I look forward to lab all the time & I'm extremely thankful that I was able to get a spot in his class. I recommend him to everyone, he's the best
Steve Teh is the best. Super understanding and really cares for his students. You can tell he loves teaching. Workload is doable and pretty easy to manage.
Passionate professor who cares about all of his students! Lectures are engaging and humorous.
He has online materials which are not the best, the videos are not hundred percent clear, however, you get the concept if you study on the side. some videos are over than 2-3 hours and wearying. I would go to office hours and see him outside the class, he is helpful and work with you when you need anything. He provides some extra credit as well.
Science is not my strongest subject so I was a bit scared taking this course. I took this class hybrid and all the lectures were pre-recorded, but very long. Tests were monitored by online camera. Study for the tests!!! Overall great professor and is very funny in his lectures, very nice guy!!
Amazing professor. Super funny, he always makes jokes during lecture to keep you engaged and laughing. Easy to talk to if you have any questions. Made bio fun. Take him if you have the chance!!
One of the best professors I have ever had. The is super understanding and always allows you to make up points. Honestly if you don't get an A you are doing something wrong
I took both Bio 4A&B with Professor Teh and have nothing but respect for him. Professor Teh is an incredible, compassionate, and hilarious person! He makes your bio experience a hundred times better, and he is very flexible and understanding when it comes to assignments. If you're considering taking Bio, I highly recommend taking him!
One of the best teachers I've ever had. He's super understanding and wants everyone to succeed.
Fun guy
Love this dude so much. Best professor I ever had if i could take him for every college class I would highly recommend this class to anybody who is not lame. Super sick class, very easy if you show up to lecture and actually listen. If you're reading this Steve, thank you for a great 2 semesters! -Aaron
Steve's demeanor is pretty cool, and professional. The curriculum is a real heavyweight, and he is making it feel like a real cram session sometimes, if you stay on top of things and avoid procrastination, you'll navigate it alright. Teh is offering extra credits and being accessible when needed, the online materials provided aren't top-notch.
BEST PROFESSOR! Business major here.. I needed to take a science class/lab for GE and I was nervous going in. I was never a science person but MAN I have never learned so much with such ease in a class ever. Teh was SO funny and made the material so easy to understand. I have never taken in so much valuable, everyday information before. 1000/10.
Professor Teh is really chill and makes a lot of jokes in class. His class was easy to get an A if you pay attention and do the assignments. He is very generous with the grades for labs (I got full points on all of them when I definitely shouldn't have). I recommend this class if you want to get an A, but I don't know how much I actually learned.
Professor Teh is a super funny and engaging instructor. If you take his hybrid class you won't really learn much, but for 4A it doesn't matter that much, I just recommend taking in person lecture if you want to learn. He's extremely understanding of students outside classes and will move exams around to fit everyone's schedule
Professor Teh was the best GE professor I have taken. As long as you watch his lecture videos, you will get a great grade in his class. I love his lab in person as he makes every single lecture engaging and interesting. 9am long drive from ivc was worth bc of him! Best biology teacher out there at saddleback and I will miss his class so much!
Professor Teh's class was super easy. All the online tests were the same as quarantine time. All the left practical were super straightforward, and he never tries to trick you. Hes a funny and hospitable guy, I just wished he didnt hate my guts lmao
Genuinely one of the best professors at Saddleback. He is very caring and accommodating, if you have issues he will work with you. He is very passionate and knowledgeable about the subject matter and his in-person lectures are the best. I will definitely miss his class
Professor Teh is an awesome teacher. I took this course online during summer and found it interesting and very manageable. There is no textbook. His exams and assignments are practical and I really learned a lot as a result of his approachable teaching style. Bio 30 was fun and it's the first time I've enjoyed a science course.
Took this class in summer online, great experience. Lectures are reasonable, plus assignments help prepare you for weekly quizes. Haven't taken a bio class in 5 years but I did not find this class difficult because of his level of detail in lectures. Will be taking him again for future bio classes.
You'll regret not taking him, I enjoyed this class so much I'd consider taking another one of his classes just for fun. He makes the material both easy and interesting to learn, and we went out for a few fun field trips that tied in everything we learned from lectures.
I took the 6 week hybrid Bio class over the summer and it was one of the best classes I've taken here at Saddleback. Professor Teh makes everything fun and interactive while making us learn the material. I would recommend everyone to take a class with him at least once.
Professor Teh is by far one of the best professors I have had while at Saddleback. His homework assignments are very straight forward and there are four larger exams during the semester that aren't too bad but you definitely need to study for. He truly is a great professor, is hilarious, and easy to contact. Would 100% recommend taking his class!
Professor Steven Teh is the best professor I've had. He teaches biology with great clarity and motivates his students. Thanks to him, I've fallen in love with biology. He's always supportive and available to help. His vast knowledge makes him stand out. Saddleback College is fortunate to have him in the biology department.
Professor Teh makes this GE Bio class a blast - his interactive lectures and hilarious jokes keep you engaged. Unstuckstudy AI plus the free textbook are great study tools. Easy A if you stay on top of the work.
honestly my best decision was taking this class. he is a funny, kind hearted, amazing individual. if u r looking to take ANY type of ge science class, PLEASSEEEEE take this class u wont regret it...ur gna thank me later!!!
Bio 4B doesn't have big chapter exams. Instead he uses smaller exams to quiz on lecture material. You will have around 4 lab practical exams. These aren't hard, just take pictures of the slides, organisms, and label them. Go over the lab practical exam material and you'll be fine. Explained what was on the test and explained the material well.
Prof. Teh is an all around amazing man. He is hilarious and very caring to his students. Class is easy if you put in just a little effort. He understands that many STEM students are taking other difficult classes, and tries to make the class as streamlined as possible to allow for little stress. Most easygoing teacher here and an absolute legend.
Mr. Teh is awesome! If you need a bio class take him! Super sweet and funny! He's very caring and will help you understand everything you need to be successful in his class.
Teh is a great professor who makes class fun and lighthearted. Labs are manageable and can usually be done in class, and he's always willing to help. Lectures can be a bit long, but tests focus on what's covered in class or lab, so pay attention. Overall, it was a good experience and I believe you will like him!
I took Mr. Teh's class over the summer online. Not only is he funny and caring but he is also an amazing professor who is genuinely passionate about what he teaches. His teaching style is very clear, and his assignments and tests are very manageable. Plus, he is very generous to give multiple opportunities for extra credit.
If you want a biology class that's actually enjoyable, take it with Professor Teh. He makes every lab fun, engaging, and very entertaining. His teaching style is clear, his energy is unmatched, and he's genuinely hilarious. I'd take this class again in a heartbeat, or anything else he teaches. He's very good at responding and assisting you.
super nice guy. as long as you watch the material and pay attention/participate during lab youll pass easily. very understanding, kind, and super funny!
Easiest class i've taken for my major credits. He is so nice and really luvs what he teaches, he can be all over the place tho. he is super talkative and likes chatting with students about random things. He also rounds a good amount if you participate (1-2%). Lab practicals are killer tho, lecture slides aren't good enuf, take good class notes :)
Very, chill and clearly has a love for his job. He's super chill and super talkative (loves to say clear as mud and ease of down the road, from the wiz). Always willing to hear you out! Gonna miss this professor, he genuinely is the professor you wish would teach you all you're subject!
Professor Steve is amazing! took during the summer, great experience. The workload was very reasonable — not too heavy, but still enough to really help you learn the material. Solid understanding of biology in a short amount of time without feeling overwhelmed. Lots of opportunities for extra credit, which really helped with the final grade.
Such a fun class. Take the in person with a lab. So many fun field trips. Small amount of work and easy tests. Prof. Teh is so amazing. I felt like I was actually learning the information during lectures. Labs are fun and done in groups too. Fun teacher and fun class. I wish I could do it again.
The class may seem a bit of a challenge at first, but Professor Teh really made the semester so much fun. He's a very caring professor and his field trips were sooooo much fun. It's an easy A if you complete your work, and there are many extra credit opportunities that take almost no work. If you get the chance, take Professor Teh!!
Literally the easiest class ever. I took his hybrid class that was once a week there was the lab. He is so patient and explains everything reallt well. Also offers multiple extra credit opportunities. Also he literally accepted so many people from his waitlist on the first day. He was also funny and super chill guy.
A very interesting professor who never makes the class boring. He will give chance for your late homework. The course is completely adaptable and Steve is a very nice person. 👍 highly recommend
hes the best
Teh is the best teacher/professor I have ever had. He makes biology so fun to learn and cracked the funniest jokes every class. He also is the only professor to offer field trip opportunities. If you take him please be respectful, I know that people have been taking advantage of his chill behavior recently which ruins the class for everyone.
