This class was so easy AND he tried to make it funny with some biology jokes (although they were quite lame). I thought he was a good teacher & I recommend him.
He is very personable- easy to listen to & understand. He is straight forward in the material and willing to answer questions. I enjoyed lab with him.
Great teacher!!!
He makes class fun!
He is an awesome prof. Very clear speaker and enjoyable to have. I highly reccommend him
fairly easy
He has a good sense of humor, although his jokes are extremely corny. Very laid back guy. Thats the way it should be
Lammers is awesome! He's very laid back and spells it all out for you. His tests were essay questions and, even if you had no idea what the answer was, you could still get some credit for a good bs answer. Definatly would recommend him!
Very easy...EVERYTHING on the test is talked about in class (so surprise questions)...multi-choice test! Tells a corny joke at the beginning of class..but you learn to love them and expect them (then you wonder where the joke was when he don't tell one)
Dr. Lammers is a great teacher, he knows the info and he teaches it well. The class is interesting and fun, and his jokes are cute. Try tog et him for lab, you'll be glad you did when lab exams roll around.
Lammers is hilarious. Tests aren't too terrible as long as you study. Try to get him for lab too.
Dr. Lammers is definately one of the best teachers I've ever had. Going into this class I had absolutely NO interest in Biology, now I'm halfway through the semester and this is my favorite class. Lammers is very clear and good at explaining everything.
If u are reading this right now, get off this website and sign up for 1 of his classes! I had him for my lecture and he makes it fun while learning!Awesome and smart guy!
He makes this class so much fun. I would definately recommend him.
I think he is a very good teacher. He tells jokes all the time and makes the class interesting. I deffinately would recommend him!
he's a great teacher, his jokes aren't always funny but they add to the class, tests are easy if you just show up to class. i really recommend this teacher, he's awesome!
he made this class very easy to understand, come to lecture, take notes, and pay attention if you try to understand what he's lecturing on while he is actually explaining it helps when studying for the exam. Exams are very easy if you studied. Very good professor!!!
Not very good...
Ok guys, for all of you who are looking for an additional biology class to take, TAKE BIO 231 in spring so you get Dr. Lammers! He is extremely laid back, super smart, very helpful and even though it is the study of plants he makes it interesting. Assignments can almost never be late, and exams arent too hard. Definately take this class!! A+++
Greatest professor on campus! take his biology 231 class if you can!!! He is very well organized, easy exams if you study and go to lecture, and very lenient on assignments! Interesting and fun professor. Highly recommended!!!!!!
Very good professor! Extraordinarily laid back. Willing to answer questions at anytime and easy to follow in lecture. Very lenient on homework deadlines. Integrates lab and lecture material well. Quirky sense of humor. Highly recommend.
GREAT PROF. Loved him his class was an easy A for me! I had AP bio in high school if u get any point on the AP test this class will be a sinch! Lammers is a great guy! etures are interesting and I always learned something new and intersting! Test are straight forward & easy! I nearly aced some of them and didn't really study to much. Labs suck tho!
Great professor! I thought... eh plants, this will be boring but it was my favorite class this semester! Lenient on deadlines and his expectations are always clear!!! While you do need to study he makes it possible, almost easy to get a good grade... definately take any of his classes!
Very good speacker, uses vissual aids well
if you go to class and lab you will undoubtedly get a B or better
He was a pretty good professor. I liked him. He was kind of boring. Its hard staying awake during his lectures.
Dr. Lammers is a really great professor! He make class really interesting, and his tests are great! They are not that hard!
has some very dry not so funny jokes but can keep the classs alive... sometimes:)
Dr. Lammers was a great teacher..he did all he could to help us understand things. Highly recommend him
Professor Lammers is an awesome teacher, very insightful, and teaches what MATTERS, not all the other junk.
Take him! Lammers is very clear and knowledgable! He teaches you what you need to know! If you go to lecture and take good notes, it is an A!
Very clear...He knows what he is talking about. Very good analogies and direct relations! He was very easy. Take him!!
funny guy....gives a lot of extra credit on fridays when there arent many ppl there.....has some pretty good jokes....makes the class fun!
Great Teacher, really enjoyed the class even though I didn't like the subject much
He is an awesome teacher and I will recommend him to anyone and everyone...Believe me..you want to take this class with this professor!!!
he is a funny guy, but goes over a lot of material fast. good professor.
doesn't go to far in-depth so it is much easier to understand what he is talking about, espicially compared to the other bio 105 teachers at UWO
He is a hardcore liberal who likes to impose his athiest views on the class in every way possible. He obviously does not find the bible or God in science and tells the class that anyone who would state that intelligent design incorporates science in any way is a dirty, sick liar who is messed up in the head. I do not find him respectful at all.
Good professor.He knows what he's talking about. DO THE QUESTIONS he gives you..25% of them are ALWAYS on the exams. His exams are right from his notes, so you don't have to spend so much time reading the book.The book is usefull to look at the pictures that he puts up on the overhead. Laugh at his jokes he likes that and they're really not thatbad
Very passionate about his field and terribly enthusiastic!
I really liked this class and I learned a lot from my professor. He is very knowledgeable in his field and has a lot to teach others.
I think lammers is a great Professor. The resources that he gives us to learn is never ending. People may argue that he's a "hardcore atheist" but in reality his veiws are just that "his veiws" and I've gained an open mind to life because of it. Lammers is extremely knowlagable, and helpful, which every outsanding college professor should be!
if you have to take BIO 105..make sure to get this teacher! he is awesome and i dont think i would be getting an A if i didnt have him as my professor. He is very clear in what he teaches and very enthusiastic about his work. he likes to tell corny jokes, but its all in fun! i really like this professor...you want to have him for class!!!
Dr. Lammers is the most interesting professor I've had during my education career so far. His jokes are not always the funniest, but it's nice to know he trys to relate to us on our level. If you have a hard time paying attention in class, Dr. Lammers is your teacher.
Awesome Teacher. He is very helpful and very knowledgeable about what he teaches. I would recommend him as a Bio 105 teacher. If you study his notes and read the sections in the book he covers...there is no way you can fail this course. He also tells you questions at the end of each chapter...read those...they are on the exams...very very helpful!
Dr. Lammers Is a Great Teacher....Tests Help You See Life Expereinces Rather Then Defining All Of The Definitions....If You Go To Class Tests Are Easy...And Lammers Makes Class Alot Of Fun To Go To So It Isn't Hard To Attend Everyday...You Don't Need To Read The Book....And Attending SI Helps Alott!!
Doctor Lammers is a ****, that's all there is to it. Even though my major is biology and I need to pay attention in lecture it doesn't take much to follow what he's talking about. The optional quetions he gives us at the end of class are very helpful. He'll prepare you for the exams, just don't slack when it comes to reading the book a bit.
GREAT PROFESSOR!!! Take him. Very good at explaining things, at least it made since for me!! very funnt guy, willing to help if you need any. VERY GOOD
AMAZING teacher. By far the best i have had. i really enjoyed him. go to class and go to the exam review and you will do great in the class.
I thought he was a great professor. He really knows his stuff;although, he does go through the material quickly, so I recommend going to the SI sessions to help break it down. He tells "great" jokes and he's really passionate about biology. Tests are easy if you study and prepare a week in advance. Loved biology after taking his class.
best teacher ive ever had. end of story. make sure you get him!
Just two words:GREAT PROFESSOR!
Great Professor!! Make sure you take him if you can
Easy-going prof. Honest about what he knows and doesn't know. Fair grading... well, more on the lenient side for labs. Well organized, which makes the whole course easier. Take him if you can.
Very funny, very interesting
professor Lammers ROCKS!he lectures at a perfect pace plenty of time to take notes he explains things in a way that is easy to understand and he has a great sense of humor if all professors were as good as him students would not want to skip class
I loved Lammers! I hate science and have had many problems with it in the past, but he was very easy to understand, was awesome at explaining things, and was very funny!
He is a very good professor, you just have to pay close attention to every word for your notes. Once he says something once, that's normally it. So you have to catch it the first time. But he knows exactly what he is talking about without hesitation.
Dr.Lammers was a great professor! He made everything crystal clear when teaching it and he knows exactly what he is talking about...some people might think his humor is cheesy but it makes class pretty funny! His lectures are very relavant to his tests and if you study what he talks about it class...you will do good!
He is a very good teacher, I can study from just my notes and get a good grade on my exams.
Keep up the good work!
Really interesting... definitely knows what he's talking about. he's full of lame jokes!!! lol :)
Good professor... very helpful... lays it out as it is as far as how to pass... follow that you'll be fine... go to class do your work thats about it
Lammers is the man!!! Go to class and pay attention, he is one of the more upbeat profs your gonna get. Take good notes and you will do fine.
He is a funny and interesting professor, he also is very clear to understand and gives you an outline to follow so its not the end of the world if you miss a class!!
Easy to understand and follows the book really well. Reading after the lectures makes the context of the book much easier to understand.
lectures every class period off of outlines. Need to take notes in order to do well. It is better to read sections after he lectures because they will make more sense...pay attention and study and you will do great!
I found this class very interesting and easy to follow. He makes alot of jokes which makes the class more laid back.
Dr. Lammers tried to tell jokes to get the class interested, and showed political cartoons once in a while. Overall, the class was very enjoyable.
Good class, keep up the good work Lammers!
Very good at what he does. Pay attention to lectures and skim over book. Do the questions he assigns, some end up on the exams. Great at getting back to you by email too. Good professor
lammers is an amazing professor! i would recommend him to anyone!
He was very fun.
One of the best professors on campus!!
Lammers is Amazing!! He made plants interesting!
He was a great teacher. He always had a joke to tell whether they were funny or not. I would take him again for any class if I needed it. :)
Dr. Lammers is a great professor! Laid back and makes the material very easy to understand. Everything on the tests is covered in class so be sure to attend the lectures.
Lammers was a great Professor, very nice and willing to help. Take him if you need Bio as a GenEd, he doesn't expect a lot of you!
Hes good, trust me.
Dr. Lammers Rocks! He is the best biology professor ever!
Dr. Lammers is fantastic! I would recommend him to anyone who needs a Bio class! Dr. Lammers is a rockstar!
Dr. Lammers is a great teacher, and is always willing to help.
Most humorous prof I've had in all my 5 years of college. He's extremely organized, knowledgeable, and KNOWS how to teach. He is very invested in your learning.
Great professor! Makes learning about plants fun. Also takes great interests in the students in class and outside of class.
Very good professor. Teaches using old fashioned ways but uses them very well. Good sense of humor.
He's a really great professor. He is willing to answer questions after class, and he's pretty funny. Definatly take this class with him.
This class was pretty easy. The professor uses overheads to teach the class and it really worked well. He cracks up jokes and they are pretty funny. There are five exams and they are pretty easy as long as you study. The labs are usually worth ten points each day and you just have to draw. This class was well taught by the professor.
Very fun and funny teacher. Exams weren't bad. He was very knowledgable and organized. Enjoyed the class
awesome professor. simple as that
Do not buy the book. It is not mandatory even though it is listed as such on the bookstore's website. We didnt use it once because he puts together a course manual and that is all you need!
All I see when I close my eyes are cells pushing their way out of vascular cambiums.
Best teacher ever! He's funny and makes the class interesting. Tests are spread out, so there isn't a ton of stuff to remember on each one. Lab was awesome.
Crystal clear lectures, labs are extremely helpful, didn't use the book, lecture was straight forward enough. funny teacher, so far my favorite prof. at uwo!
great teacher...very likeable...helpful
Awesome teacher! He definitely knows his stuff and is very thorough with his lectures! He also has created a course manual so you don't need to buy the textbook to do well!
Excellent. You do not need the text book. He lays it out very well each class and you immediately go over it in lab. He even emails you at the end of each week with an overview that is a good study guide for the test. He has been doing this for years and is very approachable. It would be nice if they were all a good as he is.
He makes learning about plants a blast! I didn't think I was going to like this class, but I did! Go to lecture, study a little bit, and you will do just fine in the class. Do not buy the book.
Excellent teacher! He makes biology easy to understand, and basically reads right from the book. His tests are fairly easy, just come to class :)
Great teacher. Provides clear examples and pictures with his lectures for better understanding. Good sense of humor!
Lammers is a good teacher. He provides examples on the over head and describes them thoroughly. Though sometimes its difficult to interpret what you need to know and what not from his lectures.He's a pretty stand up guy and will talk to you about any problems your having in the course or life in general.
He is a great professor! My grandfather was a professor and he Dr. Lammers reminds me so much of him. His tests are fairly easy and his lectures are thorough and easy to understand. It isn't that hard to come to his class because he keeps things interesting with a corny joke or a funny story. Overall I couldn't ask for a better professor.
He is a nice guy but probably one of the worst professors Ive ever had. He is out of date with technology and his exams are wordy and difficult. I had to study way more for this class than some on my 300 level classes. I would not recommend taking his classes
Great Guy, intelligent man, awesome professor! : )
It's an easy class when you invest sometime into reading and attending the lectures.
Awesome prof. Don't ever use the book everything on his tests are covered in his lectures so although attending lecture isn't mandatory I def would. Almost always got out early from class too. He's a pretty funny guy so that makes class fun too. If you're having a hard time go to the SI for his class as this helps a ton!
he is such a wonderful teacher...thumbs up!!!
Great Professor Easy to listen to and fun as well he makes learning easy and his test are on what he covers not just random stuff!! Great Professor!!
Mr. Lammers is a blast! He suprised me by remembering my name, which I thought pit professors would have a hard time doing. It is fairly rare that this professor will lose you in his lecture, which I find wonderful! He rocks!!
He is a great professor he will go backwards for you if you need help. If funny in class and can make biology interesting. Take him if you for any biology class for sure. He also gets done with lecture 10-20 minutes early every day and will cover everything that needs to be covered he even wants students to fill out a rate my professor review
Great teacher enjoyed the class
It was an excellent class.
Definatly a likable guy, for the most part. His tests aren't easy, so study hard and go to SI. Skip class and you will fail, unless your some kind of genius, which I'm sure only your mother thinks your are. But seriously, study.
Great teacher. He makes it easy to understand the material. Take notes from his lectures and pay attention and you'll do fine. Go to class and pay attention and you most likely wont need the book. overall, i loved this class! (:
Great teacher! A very nice and interesting guy, gives information efficiently and quickly.
Great Professor! If you have the chance to take him do it. Very helpful and interesting.
Lammers is a great man and lays out exactly what he expects from you as a student. You do not need to purchase a textbook for this class, which I highly recommend taking this advice and just attending lecture & lab. Do not hesitate to take him if you're looking forward to actually learning something during your academic experience.
GREAT professor! Very laid back, understands how students learn. Simplifies difficult concepts. Only need the book for life cycles for the exams. Tests are hard and thorough but I never got less than an A, so it's worth studying hard for. He is basically the best bio professor on campus.
Easy class, good assignments to prepare you for a biology career. He is very enthusiastic about his work. It's hard to know what to expect on the quizzes though and they are both essay. Just review your notes for the first one and the second one is mainly self explanatory when you get it, you just aren't told how to prepare for it.
Easily the best professor I've had after 3 years at UW-O. Definitely increased my interest in plants. It is apparent that he enjoys teaching and thoroughly understands what he is instructing. Take his classes!
He's a great professor. Very funny and willing to help. Tests are hard but probably the best bio 105 teacher.
nice teacher but makes very hard tests. He doesn't offer extra credit or curves the grade even though the class average is low.
This class is very tough but Dr. Lammers is a good professor. You almost always get out of class early and he is straight to the point with his lectures most of the time. The downside is that his exams are tough and lab is worth more than lecture which is SUUCKS! Buyer beware but if you need the class, he is probably the best way to go!
He uses overhead slides for examples and everything else is word of mouth and he goes very fast. Tests are really hard. I would not take him if your a visual learner and want to have clear, understandable notes. Really bad 1st semester class to take as a freshman
Lammers is the man!!! He's very knowledgeable and you can tell that he loves teaching.
Very helpful, not uptight, funny
VERY helpful and VERY kind. However, his tests are long and difficult. You literally need to study EVERYTHING. I didn't realize this on the first test and didn't do so well, but for the rest I studied and got all As. Challenging, but interesting and worth studying for. Overall a really great and down to earth guy!
He was a very entertaining professor, and was extremely knowledgable. He took the time to e-mail a weekly summary of what we covered in lecture. Even with having a pit class he answered questions quite frequently and was aproachable before and after class started. His tests we made from the text book! So definately read!
Very kind teacher willing to help you out with anything. Your grade depends on how you much effort you put into the class. Overall good teacher.
Dr. Lammers is a really great guy. He really cares about each student and is willing to help. Lab classes are hilarious and so much fun. The exams are longer and harder than I expected, though. You really have to know ALL of the material. But if you study, you will be fine. No textbook needed.
I had Mr. Lammers for my Bio 105 lab class and I'm lucky I did. If you're taking Bio 105 lecture, make sure to get this guy for your lab! No test or anything, just a weekly lab report that he gives you a few days to finish and email to him. I got 194/200 points for this lab and it wasn't too difficult as long as you attend and pay attention.
Lammers is a great and helpful teacher. He is funny and pokes jokes about his weight...he loves jelly donuts. Very clear with what he says. No cumulative final for bio 105. You always get out early from class.
Nice guy but many times I wouldnt go to class because i felt I could teach myself more than I would learn in class
Very good teacher. You wilget out of class early every day almost. Answers all the questions you need if you take th time to go ask him.
Overall really good professor. Willing to answer questions. No powerpoint, I would recommend recording the lectures. Tests are based on lectures, NOT the book, so attend class. Book is not really used except for the questions.
He is an awesome professor. If you go to lecture and print out his weekly email summaries the exams should not be too bad. He is very straightforward on his exam questions. He is also willing to answer any questions you may have if you take the time to ask him after class. If you have to take Bio 105, considering Dr. Lammers is a good idea.
Take Lammers. My friends who have this with other professors are not doing so well. Lecture can be boring sometimes, but you get out early almost every time. Go to class because he only tests you on what he talks about in lecture, reading the book isn't worth it, but do the questions in the book-almost guaranteed to be on the exams.
Great teacher! Great for an intro course, whether its a gen ed or major req. He gave us outlines for each lecture and it made taking notes more organized and studying way easier. Super funny, his offbeat humor reminded me of my dad and was really refreshing. Challenging enough to be a college course but manageable if you work hard.
He is a really nice, funny guy that you can tell loves his job and biology. His tests can be very difficult because you need to not just know the concept, but need to know how to apply it. I rarely looked at the book. Tests are what he says, not what is in the book.
He's a really nice guy- impossible to hate! However, his tests are VERY hard. He doesn't go off of powerpoints, give study guides or anything so you are on your own for studying. When you need help he is always very nice and willing to answer but make sure you do good on his challenging tests because you only get 4 and that's your grade.
Professor Lammers is a great professor! He is super helpful and sends weekly emails summarizing everything he went over that week. However you do have to go to class because he doesn't follow the book very much. He also gives you lecture outlines which makes taking notes very easy. His sense of humor cracks me up, I would definitely take him again!
Very hard class! Make sure you go to every class because he doesn't go from the book and doesn't give study guides. Take good notes in class. The only reason I passed was because of the SI tutor!
Dr. Lammers is a very smart guy that knows what he is talking about. He does try to keep class interesting with some stories and cartoons. Going to class is mandatory because he does not go from the book. His exams are not that difficult as long as you go to class. SI sessions are extremely helpful.
He is a very understanding, if you need ANY extra help just go and talk to him and he will be more than willing to explain it more throughly to you.
Very funny and has a way of making concepts easily understandable in layman's terms, if I may. Has been teaching for a good amount of time and is there for YOU. Even in a pit class.
Very interesting class. Well organized and Dr Lammers has a true passion for the subject. Makes learning easy and fun.
Great Professor, is one of the better lecturers i have had. Fun to listen too and material is easy to understand as long as thorough notes are taken during lecture. Some time out of class need for studying, but not much compared to most.
Easy class, lecture style is slightly outdated. Uses a lot of transparencies on the overhead projector. No notes provided, only a limited outline so keeping up with writing can be challenging while trying to listen. Overall easy and he is funny so class goes by quickly.
Great teacher for a lecture. You have to pay attention to take notes because he does not throw them all up on a power point. Still makes it clear what you need to know, and really thoroughly explains everything in terms everyone can understand.
Dr.Lammers is an amazing professor. He is funny, nice, and could probably teach anyone. He doesn't spend time on the specifics like some professors. He teaches you what you need to know, and how to use it. He is a wonderful professor in every way.
Dr. Lammers is clear, concise, relevant, and fair.
Lammers is an awesome professor! pretty boring subject, but he makes it fun. No textbook. All notes are given in lab manual. He teaches very old style, so its pretty simple. He tells you exactly what hes looking for on his exams with his weekly emails! Great Professor! Always willing to help!
At first, I was thrown off by Dr Lamers, it seemed a bit silly for a man of his stature to be teaching a class about botany, but his teaching methods grew on me. I came to understand that he showed a genuine passion for this subject, he came prepared every day to class to define the meanings of all the material in an interesting manner. Great prof.
Dr. Lammers was a great professor! If you pay attention in class and go to the SI study sessions you will pass! He does use some of the questions out of the back of the book for exams, but other then that I hardly used it.
Great professor. Very knowledgeable! I sat front row in lab and talked with him a lot during our microscope slide drawing sessions. He was always willing to talk about anything even remotely related to biology, even off course topic. I would definitely recommend him.
Awesome Professor. Incredibly helpful and cares about his students. He is also pretty funny, just ask him to tell stories about his work- trust me, you will not be sorry! Do not hesitate to take him!
Dr. Lammers is a great professor! Biology is not my favorite subject but he makes it interesting! He has a lot of personal stories that relate to the topic. Take his class if you can!
Dr. Lammers is a nice guy and can be funny, but overall it's difficult. He just talks in class and that's how you take notes, which can be very hard. We dont ever use the book in class. The tests were challenging for me. He does put up pictures for examples, but overall it's hard to follow along and take notes.
Do note take
Lammers is a great prof, knows what hes talking about and is very willing to help out on office hours and/or after lecture. If you go to SI, lectures, and do the problems he give you in class it an easy course.
Lammers is a super easy guy to talk to. I had him for freshman biology and I passed with an A-. Now I'm a senior and going to take his Plant biology class this spring and I'm really excited.A guy I for sure recommend.
Great teacher! Sometimes a little confusing. Tests are very straightforward. He's a very funny guy, and cares about what he talks about. If you need help, you can talk to him. He sends out an email weekly going over everything he said in class, and these emails cover things on the test almost directly. I would love to be in his class again!
This teacher is very old fashion as in gives you outlines uses the projector you know out of date technology very hard to understand.
I HAD HIM FOR LAB AND HE WAS REALLY EASY, I'M TERRIBLE AT BIO AND STILL REVIVED AN A, HES QUESTIONS ARE STRAIGHTFORWARD. :)
Sometimes he went too fast in his lectures, but overall he is a very good professor. He knows what he is talking about and likes to tell jokes to make class more enjoyable. Some of the test questions were hard to understand though.
Met Dr. Lammers last fall semester for Bio 105 and absolutely loved him! He has a great passion for the subject he teaches and inspired me to become a bio major myself and last spring took his 231 class. He is extremely helpful and easy to talk with, I highly recommend him. The material can be tough, but he is always willing to help.
Good Prof, go to his office hours or email him when needed, he's good with response time and answering questions. Do the questions from the pages he gives you at the end of class. GO TO SI. you'll be fine. Lammers is a nice guy
Honestly, I love Lammers, great guy and prof, only thing that bugs me is that he has no powerpoints/online notes, just notes from his talking which is tough. He knows his stuff though. This is a tough class no doubt, I studied more for this than chem and got an A in chem and a B in this class. Go to lecture and study if you want an A.
Really nice guy, straightforward and understands exactly what he is talking about.
Professor Lammers is the best. I would definitely recommend taking him to anyone. You need to go to class and pay attention. If you do, his class is manageable. He's very helpful at answering questions and he's very good at relating everything to every day life. The book is helpful if you do the questions he gives at the end of each lecture.
I took Professor Lammers for lab and he is one of the best professors I've had at the university. He knows everything about the topics discussed and explains what the correct solutions should be if you didn't get the correct one. I wish I would have taken him for lecture because he is an amazing instructor!
Dr. Lammers is an excellent instructor. He is passionate about what he teaches, and he breaks it down and gives examples the help to clarify. He also is open to any questions, even in my large pit class. His enthusiasm is inspiring.
He's the man. So funny and a great professor.
Lammers is such a great professor, if you pay attention in class and do a little reading outside of class you will pass for sure. He even makes lectures fun by telling cheesy jokes. If you ever need help he is always willing to help and is super understanding.
You have to show up to lecture to understand, just reading the book wont work because you are only tested on what he says in lecture. You could be wasting your time on things he never even talked about. I went to SI at least once a week if not two and it was very helpful. It is a smaller group so you can ask more questions.
He is a funny guy and very smart too. However, his lectures are very unorganized. You have to listen very carefully and write down everything he says. It seems as if there are tests every other week. Never enough time to grasp a concept.
Not the teacher to take if you're a visual learner. I couldn't follow along because his lectures were all by voice, and nothing to look at. Sure, he puts up figure pictures from the book, still didn't help me. As I quickly tried to write down and remember what he was saying, my notes almost made no sense when I read them back to myself later on.
Awesome dude
Great guy. Lectures are hard to follow though. hard to take notes cause everything is off of what he says. never has a power point or anything up on the board to write down. You have to write what he says and try to remember every word he says. He will help you if you ask for it. I'd personally try to find an easier course. Hardest class I've taken
The material isn't difficult, there is just a lot of it. Lammers is the funniest and most easy going professor I have ever had. He really understands first year students! Would recommend him to anyone
Awesome Professor! Would recommend to anyone! Exams are fair and funny and laid back in lecture
His lectures are what will be on the tests. I didnt use my textbook at all. His lectures are interesting and he loves to crack jokes! The only things you are graded on are your 4 exams, so go to class and study hard! Otherwise he is a Great professor!
Professor Lammers knows his material very well. Lectures were easy to follow along and the exams were based off of what he says in lecture. I definitely recommend taking him for Bio 105!
Dr. Lammers is a great teacher and he is very funny! I really enjoyed his class and I highly recommend it.
Dr. Lammers is hilarious! Definitely need to listen in lectures, but they aren't boring. Easy to pass if you study what he tells you to study.
Dr Lammers made lecture fun, don't be intimidated. He's a very nice. His class makes you think in a good way. The only downside is that he doesn't use powerpoints. He gives you oulines for each lecture, and make sure you listen. His exams are based on them. The best part? Hes honest. He doenst put stuff on exams that you don't go over. No tricks.
Very good professor. Does not use powerpoints, though, so you need to take notes based on what you hear. Tests are easy and fair. He'll make jokes sometimes to get the lecture started.
Great teacher! I wouldn't mind taking another one of his courses. If you pay attention and take good notes, you'll be set for any test he gives out.
Dr. Lammers is very knowledgeable about the subjects covered in Bio 105. He answers all questions directly and does not expect the class to know anything that he has not discussed in class. There are no surprises in this class, he tells us what will be on the exam and what will not be on the exam. He also uses overhead pictures that are in the book
Professor Lammers is a very good professor. The subject on the other hand is tough. He explains himself really well all you have to do is make sure to show up and take good notes because studying for exams are crucial. Lectures went the full hour like twice the whole semester, usually 45 minutes. Bottom line, great professor but tough class.
This class is difficult because it consists of solely exams and labs. Lectures are very clear and Dr. Lammers is engaging, even though he sometimes goes on tangents. Exam questions can be worded tricky, but you can figure them out if you really know your material. Is very willing to help if you go into his office or email him.
You must attend class! I attended every class and had no problem what so ever on the tests. I received an A or A- on every exam. You don't have to study hard, as long as you pay attention to what he says. He doesn't use powerpoint, which I don't mind at all. He is really fun and down to earth! TAKE THIS BIO CLASS! Favorite class all year!
Lammers is helpful, funny, and clear in what he expects for the class. If you don't go to class, you will not pass this class. The tests are not easy but if you study for them, take good notes, and pay attention in class you will be fine!
The exams are exactly based on lecture material. Class is hard because your grade is only made up of 4 exams but the professor is awesome. We rarely had hour long classes (40 minutes about). Professor had costume judging contest because we had class on Halloween! It was a fun class an made the dry topic at least applicable to day to day life
Professor Lammers is a very good professor. He gives four exams throughout the semester. They are all multiple choice, no essays. The tests were not that hard. I definitely recommend going to SI. They are extremely helpful, and they give you a good review of the major concepts covered in lecture. Overall, a great class and a great professor!
Lammers is a very good professor. He lets you know what will be on the tests because the only material on the test is what he says in lecture. He is funny and answers any questions you may have, with just the amount of info that you need to know. I definitely would recommend him!
For a good grade, don't skip. He's a good lecturer, anyhow. Take notes and pay attention to the following: 1. His review of the previous class 2. Assigned book problems (some used on exam) 3. The weekly email summaries Those three things very clearly spell out what you need to know. Also, SI is GREAT for this class. Just go.
He is a bit old fashioned with his lectures, he uses an overhead projector instead of powerpoint so you have to go to lecture to get the notes, also you have to pay attention to him talking because what he talks about in class, that's on the exam. Also the only grades there are are the 4 exams so take a lot of time to study!
He is a great professor and really knows his stuff, but the lectures are incredibly boring. Not many tests, but there are no other points besides tests so you have to study hard. He is a really nice guy and is always willing to help you when you need it.
I had Lammers for Bio 105. He is a decent teacher, but I would recommend recording his lectures as his tests are based off of what he says. You do not have to buy the book as long as you go to class, take notes, and record his lectures.
Exams are based off of lecture. He doesn't use powerpoint so you HAVE to go to class. It is a fast paced class, but he will always clarify if asked. He is the most helpful professor I've had. He will always help you if you need it, but you have to ask! He makes a lot of jokes that help you relate to the content. He is very clear on his expectations
Love me some Lammers. He is hilarious
Lammers is one of the best professors I have ever had. He is very clear and to the point. However you need to do outside work to get the grade you want. He is very nice and fun to talk to as well, he cares about your education and goals.
Dr. Lammers is very helpful and concise with his lecture material. He usually lets you out early depending on the material to be covered that day. Honestly didn't study much because I went to all the classes and absorbed most of the information. Tries to make bio fun. Does a review before exams and sends weekly summary emails.
He is honestly the best professor I have had thus far. He's one of the few prof's on this campus that know how to make 100-level courses easier to understand. He sends out weekly emails, does a review the class before an exam, and has a facebook group for this students! Such a sweet man. I wish I could take more of his classes! HIGHLY recommend!
Dr. Lammers is a wonderful professor. He is absolutely hilarious. He will answer any questions that you have and is very knowledgeable. His review sessions before exams are very beneficial. If you need to take Bio 105 Lammers is the man.
Easy class. He sends out emails with what he talked about, AND he has all lecture outlines posted in advance. Great class if you're a busy person.
His lectures are incredibly thorough. There's no ppt though, so put your listening ears on and expect hand cramps from frantic note-taking. If you write down everything, and study those notes, you won't have to read the textbook though it is good for clarification. There's no SI for his section. Besides lab, exams are the only grading method.
Not only does Professor Lammers have numerous creditations for his work, it is rare to have a professor that understands the student experience as much as he does. It is clear that he tries to keep content hip and interesting for us as well as more importantly, articulates difficult to understand concepts well. He is and has been my best teacher .
He was a very easy grader! He's very willing to help you with any questions and is very clear about them too.
Dr. Lammers is a great professor. Make sure to take notes in lecture because he does not use PowerPoints but his lectures are very easy to follow so you will be fine. He sends out a weekly email summarizing everything he went over in class and he also does a review day, the day before the exam. Highly recommend taking him!
He will answer any question you throw at him. He is always giving students great advice on his Facebook page, and he is just a very polite guy that actual treats college freshman as adults, which we are.
He's funny and very helpful. His lectures were very easy to follow, albeit go somewhat slowly. He really cares about his students though and it shows. Treats everyone like adults and very approachable. Definitely read his email help and Facebook posts. Would recommend him especially to any incoming Freshman/transfer students.
Professor Lammers holds a great lecture but expect to pay attention and scribble down notes as he does not use powerpoint and only uses an old school overhead projector. He is very clear on what he wants you to know from lecture, you don't really need to read the book. Attending lectures is essential to passing this class.
Lammers was one of my favorite professors first semester of my freshmen year. He is a funny guy and really makes biology interesting. The material itself is somewhat challenging but he really works to help you understand, and his examples will make you laugh out loud. Overall a really good experience!
If you go to class, pay attention, and jot down notes to review before exams you will succeed. lammers is great at explaining material and will repeat anything upon request. He send weekly emails on the material. He makes learning the subject fun too, with little jokes. I would recommend him, expect exspecially if it is your first bio class.
Dr. Lammers is honestly one of the best teachers I've ever had. He understands what it's like to be a student and knows how tough college is. He's very helpful and open to answering any question. This class was tough but he makes it possible that you can pass if you show up and do the work. Doesn't hurt that he's funny, too!
Lectures are long and dry. He shuts his eyes when he talks which is annoying. Rubs his stomach a lot. Repeats a lot of the same jokes throughout the semester.
Dr. Lammers cares a lot about the students and their success. Attendance is not mandatory, but attending lecture is an easy way to get a good grade. His lectures are simple to follow and engaging. He has a good sense of humor--be prepared to laugh. Exams are fair and relatively quick! Take Dr. Lammers for bio 105, you'll be glad you did!!
Dr. Lammers cares more about his students than just their grades. He cares about their well-being overall and that is a cool quality for a professor to have. Lab was easy with him, all you had to do was show up, do the lab, and write up a lab report. He even cut some of the labs short which was nice. Recommended
Dr. Lammers is one of the best professors I've ever had. His lectures are different in that he doesn't constantly display boring slides and actually lectures orally to the class. He is knowledgeable and only tells you what is important to know. Test vary in difficulty according to section but if you study a bit you should do fine.
Dr. Lammers is a great way to get started in college as a freshman and is just as great for older students. He tries to provide positive direction in your life through his work. He does not put slides online and goes at a quickened pace some days so make sure to pay attention. Always open to criticism and always willing to help his students.
Such a wonderful professor, he uses real life examples so you comprehend the material better. I definitely would not be afraid to talk to him outside of class for anything. He sends out emails at the end of each week summarizing what you learned-- those are EXTREMELY helpful.
Great Professor. Really funny.
Super cool dude. Lectures are easy to follow and the exams follow closely to the lectures. 10/10 , would recommend to any student taking bio 105.
Thomas lammers is the best professor I have had so far! Definitely recommend him to anyone taking bio 105. His emails and lectures are very helpful!
You HAVE to go to lectures in Lammers. Also, make use of the SI. His exams are pretty straight forward if you attend lecture. I loved having Lammers, he's the best bio 105 professor offered at UWO. He has a lot of respect and he's a very caring guy.
Professor Lammers is a funny guy that wants the best for his students. His tests don't change must year to year so find someone that took the class in the past and you might be able to get past tests. Go to the SI study groups. Read his weekly emails he sends out.
Lammers is very easy going and kind
Lammer's is a really cool teacher, would definitely take him again.
Professor Lammers is a great professor! His lectures are clear and interesting/funny. He does not change the tests from year to year so try to find someone with the tests, and you will get an easy A. He is a great professor overall!
Take Dr. Lammers! He is very clear on what he wants you to know for his exams which are pretty straight forward. He is so easy to listen to and keeps students engaged by adding humor into his lectures. I believe this is his last semester, so take him while you can!!
Best Bio Professor at Oshkosh! This class does require a lot of studying but he makes it easy to learn and follow along. The book is not required but if you read the chapters it will give you a better understanding of what you learn in the lectures. Lammer's taught me a new love for Biology this semester, I highly recommend!
he explained the material very well. I recommend him to everyone.
One of the best professors you can possibly ever have. He tries his best to make lecture fun and easy to understand. Its sad he is retiring soon so take him while you can. Book isn't required but definitely recommended in order to succeed, as test can be a little difficult.
I screwed up and cheated in a exam, he found out but he was still so respectful. I really felt awful about cheating, I still remember his words when he said "if you can cheat on an exam, you can also cheat on your partner." Those words really hit me hard and promised to never do such thing. HE'S THE BEST PROFESSOR EVER!! Never break his trust.
By far the best teacher that I have ever had so far at Oshkosh, taught great would give great lectures, and made bio fun at points. He is retiring glad I got to have a class with him before he did.
You really made me enjoy learning about biology. I enjoyed coming to class! You will be missed!
