Dr. Reed you rock! I never know Microbiology would be soo much fun. He gives great reviews and makes it fun to learn all about bacteria!
Great class and awesome teacher. Only take this with him. you cant go wrong with reed!! The best ever.
Go Dr. Reed, some of the best lectures and alot of fun too. Always approchable.
Possibly one of best at BCC Great lectures good test reviews and fun labs. Always around if you need help. The most undersanding person and pretty funny. Makes the material interesting. Chapter tests are Mutli choice take no one else.
Fantastic teacher. Interested in the student learning. Clear lectures and fun class. Recommended highly.
I took this class years ago. But I belive DR. REED gave me the building blocks needed to complete the rest of my education graduate with a BSN. This is an excellent teacher.
Dr. Reed is an awesome teacher. He is very helpful. He is straightforward, tests are reasonable. He makes the class fun. He is very dedicated to his students and he seems as though he really cares.
Gives everything you need to know on review sheets PLUS test hints.Time spent DEFINITELY effects grade.Will answer ANY question you're unable to.Answers imail quickly.A&PI online,Micro Hybrid-high A's so far.A&PII online next.Good guy.Nature lover.Looks not what you'd expect.NO LONG SIDE PART.
This is an instructor who not only loves his job but wants to make it as painless as possible for students to learn. His tests and quizzes are straight from his notes. He will answer any question you have and never does he make you feel like you should already know the answer.
Anatomy is difficult anyways and a lot of material has to be covered. He skips around a lot though and is very loud- great for bringing in a tape recorder but not for taking notes. Very good teacher but seems a little lazy.
The best ever!!! Passionate about his job. Wants all students to succeed- goes sooo out of his way for anyone. Learn tremendous amounts from Dr. Reed!!!
One of the best professors I've had at BCC. Makes the subject material easy to understand and fun. Would highly reccommend.
He in an excelent teacher!!! Believe me, if i could get those high grades, anyone can! There is a lot of studyin involved, but its not too hard...I strongly recommend him to ANYONE!
Good teacher. Cares about others. Likes to get to know his students.
Dr. Reed is one of the best teachers I have ever had. I had him in Summer A 8 hours a day for 6 weeks and looked forward to going to class. He makes learning fun and intresting. He is such a cool teacher and there is never a dull moment.
One word... AWESOME!!!
Dr. Reed is the best. Passionate, informative, very smart and FUN. I always looked forward to his class. Many opportunities for extra credit, moderate tests. He puts a lot of time into helping his students. One of the very best at BCC.
This teacher was one of the best teachers I have ever had. He makes you enjoy going to his class, and the test are easy as long as you pay attention. The things that he talks about you can't forget just because the class is so interesting anyway. I wish all teachers could be this fun.
One of the best teachers ever. He has the most charming personality and makes class so intresting. I had him 8 hours a day in Summer A and didnt dread coming to class not once. Wonderful teacher. I learned so much. HIGHLY Recommend!!!!:):):)
He is one of the best professors that I have ever had. He makes it interesting and sometimes fun. He is a real person, not like some of the arrogant professors that I have had in the past. He loves what he does which makes him very good at it.
Dr. Reed is the coolest teacher in the world!
As long as you go to class and pay attention, you'll do fine. He tells you what to study for testes, and uses many examples from what he has gone over in class. He is passionate about the class, and he make it fun and interesting with some of the most unique stories I have ever heard. He really tries to help the students, and lots chances for EC.
This is the greatest teacher! He is very helpful and makes learing fun. Just attend class every day and you'll be just fime! Mr. Reed Your a GREAT teacher!
He was outstanding. The main thing to do is study. He gives you the handouts of all notes and they are just like the test. He makes class fun and he is great gentleman to talk to. He doesn't make you feel like you can't ask him questions. Only when it comes to finding the UNKNOWN bacteria does he do that. But he is GREAT!!!! Thanks Dr. Reed!
EXCELLENT teacher if you take him he's a guaranteed good grade because his teaching methods
Tests are easy, lectures are usually fairly upbeat, labs are tedious and unclear at times.
Dr Reed made the class enjoyable with stories and jokes...but it was his teaching style that made the class memorable. He takes the time to help students, offering handouts and answering emails. If only he taught chemistry too!
Dr. Reed is the all time coolest and most efficient teacher there is for teaching a tough science course. He keeps it interesting, feeds you pizza on ocassion and he has a great attitude. I am really thankful I got the oppertunity to learn with him.
Best teacher I have ever had.
Best instructor ever! I can't say anymore than what has already been written. I would suggest if you are going to take A&P or Micro, make sure it's Dr. Reed.
awesome teacher... he really helps you all you can. he loves his labs and makes sure you know the material. i would recommend taking him without a doubt... just wish i had him for a&p 2, but i'm stuck with a bad teacher
He is an amazing teacher, you don't even realize you are learning so much material. I would definatly recommend him, he is great! He answers all questions you have, repeats things willingly for you and he lets you know up front what he wants you to know.
Good class if you like an easy A
fun, keeps you interested. I learned a ton of info from him
I Love Dr. Reed!! He is very helpful and engaging. Lots of fun too. There is lots to know in A+P 1 and Micro, but he lets you know what to expect. Love his laid back style. I get sick of uptight, rulzy, rude professors!! I can't say enough good things about Dr. Reed!!
Dr. Thomas Reed is a truly remarkable teacher. I took him for Anatomy 1 & 2 and also for microbiology. I learned more than the required material and it was fun. He loves teaching and offers extra credit although no one should need it unless you just dont study at all. I made all A's in his class. He knows ALL of his students by name.
Enjoys the material and teaching. Stays up on current events in the topic. Uses all methods for diff learning styles. Well balanced class - no snoring. Never dread b4 going - always fun! Gold stars and chili peppers all the way. Somebody clone this guy, please.
Dr. Reed makes sure students understand the course material and is able to explain it at their level, without dumbing it down.
Dr. Reed is by far BCC's best educator. Take him for A&P 1 & 2 and Micro. Pay attention in class and you will get an 'A' as he goes over all tested material, even for the hybrid class. If BCC would only have other instructors like him it would be a much better learning environment.
Dr. Reed was one of the best teachers I have ever had and I have had tons!!! He is very helpful...the information is not easy but he helps to make sure you understand it and do well in his class. He is very intelligent!!! Really cool guy!
Took him for A&P 1 & 2. He is awesome. Cool guy, class isn't too difficult. Fun class, put in decent effort and will get an A. Will def. take him for Micro also. TAKE HIM FOR SURE!!
Excellent professor! I took Dr. Reed's online Survey of Anatomy & Physiology class, and it was clearly organized, easy to follow, and Dr. Reed's notes made the subject as painless as possible to study. Dr. Reed goes above and beyond to ensure that students are on track to succeed in his class.
I LOVED DR. REED! TAKE HIM OVER ANYONE ELSE! GIVES LOTS OF EXTRA CREDIT OPPS, PRACTICE QUIZZES & TESTS, AND HELPFUL HINTS. HIS LECTURE & EXAMPLES HELP UNDERSTAND THE MATERIAL BETTER THAN THE BOOK! HE'S FUNNY AND MAKES CLASS ENJOYABLE, I HATED TO MISS A DAY! TAKE HIM FOR AP 1+2 AND MICRO! BCC'S BEST! I LOOKED HIM UP ON HERE,EVERYONE'S COMMENTS TRUE!
TAKE DR REED!!!!! He is a wonderful teacher, who makes the class fun. This was the best class I have taken at BCC thus far. Lab was a blast...
Highly recommend this Prof. I took A&P I&II Hybrid class with Dr. Reed and I learned a lot from him. Demanding course, a lot of material, a lot to study, but Dr. Reed is very helpful: a lot of hints,preps, and extra points avail. Dr. Reed is easily approachable, great communication. If I need Micro in future-I will take it with Dr. Reed.Loved him.
Very good teacher...Pretty funny...Not nice...He talks down to everyone...Thinks he is better than you...and can be very hard to get along with...Although he is a good teacher...And it turned out I had a 79 in his class and he gave me a B...So I was pretty happy with him...FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS IN THE LAB!! HE WILL FLIP OUT IF YOU DO NOT!!!
I took him for Anatomy 1, 2, Microbiology and made the class fun and easy to learn! He helps you understand all the labs and goes over everything with you. I definitely recommend taking Dr. Reed!
He is a great professor. His tests and quizzes are difficult, but he gives you all the material to ace them. I would not recommend missing a class, you do labs almost every single class that are detrimental to passing your final unknown lab.
Dr. Reed is hands-down the best prof I've ever had at BCC. He makes you work for your grade, so you actually learn, but at the same time, he's so funny and nice that I look forward to class! I took his hybrid Anatomy I & II, and you definitely have to study more than the normal class, but he's very understanding and gives extra hints along the way.
I don't see how anyone can get lower than a B in his class. (I got an A) It is a difficult class, but as long as you do your studying, it's easy. DO NOT MISS CLASS, almost every class you do a lab, which is VERY important when it comes to your final unknown lab. I missed one class and had to teach myself the spore test for the final unknown.
great teacher
Very interested in material and studied ALOT on my own, but always felt unprepared for his tests & quizzes. He'd recommend studying one thing and then test on another. Very tricky & difficult questions! By end of semester, I dreaded going to class. He can be a little arrogant and cocky. Also very HYPER & jumps all around material during lecture.
Dr. Reed is a very nice prof. and enjoys teaching A&P. He could however, have his tests and quizes match his lectures. He gives tricky questions on his quizes and tests. He does however go out of his way to help answer questions for you, and he gives extra credit. Pretty cool guy!
Everyone thinks microbiology is so hard. Dr Reed makes the lab work easy with his step by step instruction. Take really good notes, pay attention to his stories, it will be on the test! He is super slow to post grades or give feedback. He doesn't go over test results. I think he's burnt out on teaching. He often talks about vacations and travel.
I loved this class. Microbiology could be a hard course, but he makes it a little easier and fun! The labs are fun, and he is very entertaining. He also gives points for weekly homework assignments. Final unknown lab is a little hard, but definitely manageable. Attend all classes and do all the labs - you need the knowledge to pass the unknown!
I took Dr. Reed for A&P I/II and Micro 14 years ago. Thanks to the foundation of knowledge and inspiring a passion for the subjects I have gone on to become an Emergency RN and USAFR Flight Nurse. Furthermore, Dr. Reed taught my 4 year old son to tie his shoes when I dropped in to get help with an assignment. Thanks for everything Dr. Reed!
Dr. Reed is one of the few teachers left at BCC that actually cares about you. He wants you to learn and helps make it easy for you but remember this is a hard class. He keeps the class laughing constantly!! You will love his microbiology class!!
Dr. Reed is an AWESOME teacher. His lectured and labs are very interesting and fun and he doesn't waste time. He is a funny guy, very helpful, and has a great teaching style. If you attend, pay attention, complete assignments, and study, you will get an A.
Dr. Reed is awesome. He makes me laugh and actually takes time to learn your name and about you as a person. Take good notes in class and pay attention to what he says. It's going to be on the test.
took an survey on A&P on line from Dr. Reed. He was very helpful and provided his home, cell and office number fr his students. He answered every question i had. Make sure you study the section on the central nervous system exdtra hard. It will blow your mind. It was a great on line class. highly recommend
I have had Dr. Reed for Micro & AP II. He is an awesome professor!I could not recommend someone with more enthusiasm.He is extremely helpful and encouraging, knows his stuff,and his class is so fun you look forward to it.Do not make the mistake of thinking that fun means easy.He expects you to learn & do the work but who wouldn't want to?He Rocks!
One of the best professors at BCC. Talks loud and gets the point across. Tests are very fair, with extra credit, and lab tests are very straight forward from the material that is given to you. Very difficult to not get a good grade. Not to mention he's just an awesome guy overall
One of THE best professors I've ever had. He makes the material interesting and easy to understand and the labs are a lot of fun. Definitely take microbio with him. It's very worth it.
Prof. Reed is a great teacher and is very good about sending out communication. I took him for A&P online this summer and definitely don't regret it. The tests can be a little challenging but the information is in the book, I would definitely take him again!
HONESTLY- Best teacher I have ever had! He really teaches you what you need to know- with some FYI's in there! He relates the material so you understand it to every day life! He is super funny and very intelligent! I HIGHLY and STRONGLY recommend him! I took him for Microbiology in Spring 2012 and I chose him b.c he came highly recommended to me!!!
The best science teacher I've ever had. Very fair and fun in class. He is patient and gives great information. The lab is truly awesome. He makes sure everyone knows what steps to do first before diving into a lab assignment. He does a demonstration first. Loves to teach, you can tell! grab his class quick before it gets filled up!!!
Wonderful Professor. I took his class for Mirco as well as A&P. I wouldn't recommend any body else. His classes aren't easy. He makes sure you earn your grade. But he prepares you well and helps in any way possible. He is great!
Best teacher Ever!Wants you to understand,not just memorize.He's hilarious,kind of teacher that makes you want to actually come to class and learn.Good grade is definitely possible but you have to attend class and pay attention.You can use any edition of the textbook, which makes it way cheaper. Do practice quizzes,tests,and reviews,it will be easy
he is awesome!!! LOVE HIM, he is funny, and knows a lot! you have practice quizzes and storys that will help you remember stuff for the quizz, the labs are not hard and are fun. the material is not easy. you have to study. I got A.
Dr. Reed is AWESOME! I would take him for ALL of my classes if I could! He makes learning easy, gives examples and just cares about his students. Labs are fool-proof since he goes over how to do it before class. Your Final Lab is easy and you can use any resource except another person which is like the real world! He is simply an amazing teacher!
Dr. Reed is a really wonderful teacher. Best lab instruction ever. Keeps things fun, but still takes learning seriously. Take advantage of practice quizzes and attendance questions and actually read the book - it'll be a breeze.
He is an excellent Professor who wants his students to succeed and learn. If all professors were like Doctor Reed it would be great.
This teacher is probably one of the best I've ever had! He goes out of his way to make sure you have all the materials you need to succeed. He also offers extra credit. I would recommend just utilizing all of the tools he gives and you won't need the extra credit. I really felt like I learned something in both classes.
This class was the most interesting and most educational class. Dr. Reed is the most helpful professor and his lectures and course are very clear in terms of what to do to get an A. I could listen his lecture all day, very interesting and funny. Very lucky for BCC to have a professor like Dr. Reed.
Dr Reed's lectures are informative, thorough and fun. His labs are well explained and interesting. You will have to study for his quizs and tests but they're not killer. He does offer an opportunity for extra credit but don't wait until the last moment. Do your work on time because he doesn't accept late work. No excuses...get it done. :-D
This may have been one of the most fun courses I have ever taken. I'm not even half way through the semester, and just had to comment on this class. Excellent teacher, and very entertaining. Just be sure to have your work done on time, no excuses!
Very awesome teacher! I am in his Micro class & as long as you pay attention & study you will do fine. The labs are fun & easy. He is very thorough & very smart. It was a joy to be in his class...I never missed it once. I will continue to tell people he is a great professor. Definitely recommended!We need more teachers like him!
Second time taking Dr. Reed for a Biology course. This time was Microbiology and he made it absolutely interesting. Do not expect an easy A, but it is easy to get an A if you actually do the work. He makes the lectures fun and engaging. He also provides sufficient practice work for everyone to score 100 on tests. RECOMMENDED!
AMAZING! This is one of the best classes I've taken at EFSC. He is hilarious! I found this to be an easy class. Just pay attention to his lectures and do a little studying and you will be fine. The labs are also super fun. He is one of my favorite teachers I've ever had.
I took his anatomy course online over the summer, huge mistake. He assigned 10 tests. There are only 12 weeks,so every week is a test and the homework is a little 10 question quiz with the 10 question attendance quiz.This doesn't prepare you for the test at all.Overall, very frustrating and why to many tests, much rather have had to write a paper.
I took Dr.Reed for micro last spring and am now taking his a&p course. He is hilarious and knowledgeable. Pay attention to his stories..they may be on tests as EC. He's a fair grader, but he won't round up a grade. I ended up with a 89.4% and it stayed that way. Make sure you never miss class, if you miss one part of a lab you will receive a zero.
I loved this Class, Dr. reed made it very interesting and if I wanted to I would most likely take it again. I leaned a lot in this class. If you just pay attention, which isn't hard because he tell personal experiences for each chapter, you will passed with flying colors. He is very knowledgeable on his topic and is very passionate.
I took this class because I saw that he had good feedback and He is a really good teacher. 1st test is proctored the rest are not. Failed the 1st test and got A's on my other 5 tests and quizeshomeworks. and finished with an A. I suggest studying for the first test alot just to be safe. Every point helps so don't just BS the HW, overall good class
Don't bother emailing him to clarify something because when he eventually replies he responds with how the simple question you asked him doesn't make any sense.
I heard he's retiring in the next year or so but I want to put in my two cents: awesome professor. Dr. Reed is funny, smart, fair. Take him while he's still around!
Dr. Reed is possible the best teacher I have ever had. He makes the lecture bearable and doesn't let them drag on. It is a somewhat hard class but I would take it again in a heartbeat! The labs are super cool and not hard to do and his personality just makes the class.
Excellent!
I had Prof Reed for Micro and an online (easy) class. I thoroughly enjoyed micro so much. From the lecture to the lab. He did a great job teaching the material, but those were the best labs ever! Ill never forget them! He is awesome. Take him if you can, please!
So entertaining and knowledgeable
