I think everyone enjoyed this class. Teacher was postive, motivating, and helpful. He responded to emails in a timely fashion. I would recommend you take his class. He wants his student to be successful. Delgado should consider him full time- he is one of the best that they have had in the "biology dept" in some time.
A very good teacher. Teaches with extreme clarity. I wish all Delgado's Bio teachers could be like him. Very helpful wants his students to pass. He will recommend u to do grade summit. DO THE GRADE SUMMIT! His tests are strictly from grade summit.

Well, it's a lab so the instructor is just there to oversee. I can't say he taught me anything. You just have to recognize the models and slides. This is not a negative rating on the instructor.
Mr. Hymel is an excellent teacher! He is extremely dynamic and keeps your interest up. He is clearly passionate about the subject and it's hard not to swept up in his enthusiasm. I would definitely encourage people to take his class.
Really easy. Wrote out everything on the board and his tests were a breeze.
Easy easy, all test come from grade summit practice test!!
He is very excited about the subject he teaches. It certainly increased my enthusiasm and interest in Biology.
He is a good teacher and very nice!! Wants you to succeed and provides everything. His tests are pretty easy, just study your notes! He loves what he is teaching and gets very enthusiatic, which can be annoying at 8am in the morning...
He is very smart in this subject. he is willing to help you at all cost
He was really easy. Just study for the tests and you'll do fine. also pay attention to the worksheets he gives out before the tests. most of the questions from it are on the test.
His enthusiasm for the subject is contagious. His Louisiana Wetland Ecology class was the most enjoyable - and also the most challenging - of any I took at Delgado. He takes you on the most field trips too!
Awesome Teacher
Awsome and enthusiatic
Great teacher!
Mr. Hymel is the best teacher for this course.Gives really good notes....study the notes and you will past the test..he also gives a bunch of bonus's...real cool guy
HE IS THE BEST BIOLOGY TEACHER EVER! I GOT 100 ON ALL OF MY TESTS. HE EVEN GIVE BONUS POINTS AND TELLS YOU WHAT THE ANSWERS ARE. YOU GOT TO BE PRETTY DUMB TO FAIL HIS CLASS. I WISH HE CAN TEACH EVERYTHING THATS HOW GOOD THIS MAN IS. IF YOU WANT TO PASS BUT ALSO LEARN, GET MR HYMEL!!!!!!!!!!
he is great! actually felt cared for n listened to. he explains it so anyone can understand n will modify his explination if you dont he teaches to his students not at them. he is great n i hope he goes far
great teacher!! easy to understand he gives you reviews before the test and bonus that he gives you the answer to! It was a fun class, make sure you show up everyday and study for the test and you'll make an A
My Hymel is a great professor and he is very enthusiastic. I struggled through his entire course but he took alot of one on one time with me and I was able to pass his course. He is an incredible teacher and also funny as well. Overall I would give him a 9/10 rating.
Mr. Hymel is a great teacher. Very interesting and amusing guy. We've only had one test- but unlike other reviewers, I found it to be challenging! Still, he's a great teacher and I would recommend him.
Love the way he teaches, he doesnt read straight from a power point you actually learn something!
Mr. Hymel is the best biology teacher at Delgado. His explanation of what he teaches is exceptional.
he is a great teacher! he makes it fun and i hate biology! i hardly studied and still passed because he makes it memorable.
Awesome!
Great teacher, he is very nice and makes the class fun, jokes and plays around with his students and gives a quiz every class for extra bonus points. There are no surprises on his practcals, it's exactly what he gave you to study.
Great teacher loves him!!! mak material interesting & he's funny!
Mr. Hymel is awesome!! He is truly passionate about the subject matter & it really helps the learning process. His personality- especially his sense of humor keeps things interesting. Plus he really wants you to pass and makes things easy, no nonsense. Mr. Hymel was even cool enough to chat for hours after class about nerdy science stuff, love him!
Take him! He's very helpful and makes class fun! I passed with an A!
great teacher! funny and extremely helpful
I love Hymel! one of the best teachers i've ever had. always gives bonuses for tests. lectures are funny
Mr. Hymel is one of my most favorite teachers of all time. He really cares about the subject matter and his lectures are awesome. All test material is from the lectures. His lectures are so entertaining they'll stick in your head and help you on test day! He writes on the board!! So you have time to write! I hate powerpoint lectures. awesome!!!!
Amazing teacher. Absolutely love him! He's great. Love his jokes and humor. Definetly recommend taking him.
Greatest teacher I've ever had at DCC hands down! He's very helpful and funny. He is also very passionate about what he does so his lectures are easy to listen too.
BEST teacher ever! very enjoyable class =]
Loveeee Mr.Hymel! Would recommend him to anybody! so easy to pass the class! knows his stuff.
This might be the best biology professor around. He has so much enthusiasm and keeps you interested! He's also very helpful and wants everyone to understand the lessons 100%. He clearly knows his stuff and he makes it so memorable and interesting! I've learned so much in his bio lecture and lab and it's only been a week!! He's an awesome instructor! Take his class!!
Great Teacher!..Always Excited .lol...gives in class study guide and bonuses!...Would definitely take again!
Took Mr Hymel for the summer. Take Him He cares about the students getting an understanding of the information . willing to take extra time to explain concepts that you may have a problem with. He really knows his stuff and loves t"teaching " the subject. go to class ask questions participate and study exactly what he tells you to .you will pass
Hymel is by far the best professor of my college career so far. I have no interest in biology and he is such a good teacher he makes you love the subject. If you're doing bad in the class he is extremely helpful as long as you come to class. He gives bonus points on the tests as well as a practice test (and most of the Q's come from the test)
If you can take Hymel, TAKE HYMEL! He knows his stuff and has a passion for what he does. Awesome teacher. If you take great notes andor record his lectures you won't even need the textbook.
He's amazing! Never understood bio in high school and when I had him, I understood everything. I'd take all of his classes if I had to
I took Mr. Hymel's Biology 1 & 2 Lecture & Lab @ Delgado's Westbank campus. He is by far the BEST (my opinion) Bio instructor there, and Not because he gives study guides or allows you to improve your grade by doing extra credit assignments. He actually cares for his students in learning the material and getting a Great grade. TAKE HYMEL!!!
i love mr. Hymel took him for bio 141& 143, AMAZING! if you go to class and pay attention you will pass, you don't even have to crack open a textbook. He cares about his students and what he teaches.I would take him again in a heartbeat if i could.
Tough class but mr. hymel knows his stuff. He is a good teacher but he is never in his office during office hours.
Hymel is a great instructor. He knows what he's talking about. If you need help or don't understand something he's happy to help. He is tough, you should not skip class, and you have to work hard. Definitely not an easy A but worth it in the end. must be motivated to ace this class.
Awesome teacher, gives great lectures, passionate about teaching. Not an easy A but definitely manageable if you put in work. Do not skip class- his lectures contain so much information you will easily fall behind. Pay attention and take good notes- tests come from notes. Textbook is complicated, focus on notes, but use text to refer too
An overall great teacher!
Awesome teacher , cares about subject and wants you to pass and understand clearly.
take his class. I love him, he really devoted, nice and helpful. He gives you bonus in the test. especially, it is easy to understand his lectures.
Mr. Hymel is a great teacher and such an inspiring person to hear talk about the lessons. He teaches slow enough and clear enough to have nice notes for me. He gives tests you definitely need to study for. He gives you the chance to actually learn Biology, not just pass the class. Great and handsome teacher. Taking him next semester as well!!
There is lots of material to cover in these 'riveting lectures' as he likes to call them but it is great information and those notes cover material on the tests. Be in class. He offers lots of bonus on tests so pay attention to the documentaries.
Mr. Hymel is a great professor. His lectures are so in depth that you really understand what is being taught. That being said, if you were to skip a class you would fall behind. Just study from your notes. Extra credit: bonus each test(from documentaries) & connect work
Really great professor! One of few who pushes you to pass! He goes into detail about the material! Has movies you watch during class to tie the lecture together. Would definitely recommend!!
Great teacher
Hes AMAZING! If I could have him teach all of my biology classes I would! Hes extremely helpful. Gives bonus point on his exams, literally gives you the questions on his exams, pay attention and you will pass! He helps you remember the material by relating things to real life and he makes lectures interesting! You wont be disappointed.
Mr. Hymel is a great Biology teacher. Please complete the homework, tests, and quizzes online to help with your grade,and DON'T WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE TO FINISH THE WORK. My biggest tip for everyone is , WHATEVER HE WRITES ON THE BOARD, YOU WRITE ALSO!
Best teacher ive had in Biology 1 and 2
Mr Hamel is an awesome Professor I recommend to go to class because he does give lots of notes. I record his lectures and had an A+ in 141 and 142. The only bad thing I can say is it's hard to catch him during office hours. Besides that best professor at Delgado. Take him
I took Mr. Hymel this summer and hes great so far. Very good biology teacher and easy to understand. Definitely take his class. Just pay attention and do some studying and youll pass with a easy A.
Professor Hymel is amazing! I took him for the summer session, which I was nervous about because I hate Biology! Coming from LSU, having a really great teacher is seldom. I can day that I actually maintained info from this Bio class! Are you with me? Say yes. Ill always remember his good humor too!
Professor Hymel made Biology fun and interesting. I took him for lecture and Bio 143 and made an A. You do have to study but he gives you all the tools you need. Hes just the BEST!!!!
Fun teacher, enjoyed going to class
He is a great teacher who keeps you involved in class. He makes the material easy to remember. I usually go to Shi- I mean City Park for class but I was happy to take the extra drive for his class
Mr. Hymel was a great teacher! He teaches in a way that is easy to understand while still learning all the information. 10/10 would recommend his class. Good humor. He is also a teacher who understands personal circumstances. Overall, a great teacher.
Take notes and study and youll pass!!! EASY!
Interesting, engaging lectures
Great professor!
Mr. Hymel is AMAZING. One of the best professors I've ever had. While the course was not difficult, his lectures were extremely interesting, up-to-date scientifically, and relevant in real-life. I actually felt like I LEARNED something from his class. Do yourself a favor and make sure you do whatever it takes to get into his class.
Mr. Hymel is the best biology professor Ive ever had! He makes lectures very easy to understand and doesnt just read off a PowerPoint or textbook. He is very intelligent and up to date in the science world. You can tell he loves his job and treats everyone fairly. Would highly recommend!
Mr. Hymel is GREAT! Going into this class I was so nervous and didn't know what to expect. However, everything is laid out for you in his lectures. Show up, pay attention, copy what he writes on the board, study a couple hours a week and you'll pass! He is so funny and entertaining. I actually look forward to going to class!
he a good professor but he not the best clearly what going to be on test and quizzes u never expect what going to be on the test or quizzes for lab but just study and u will do fine
I wish I could take him for ALL science related courses. Love his lectures!
He is very easy, he gives you the answers before the test whatever he writes on the board that is on the test. Study you will pass.
Took him for virtual lab. Hes very funny/ knowledgeable. However insist that his notes are what you need to study for his test and this is not accurate. His test is typically whats on the canvas exercises but he tells you otherwise. He is willing to give extra credit though which is helpful. Was very concerned I wouldnt pass but thankfully I did..
Professor was really funny. Related class to real world things, however, he stressed over and over that his notes was the only thing you needed to study for the exams, this isn't true. Alot of the test came from the canvas exercises.
This professor was a wonderful funny guy but the entire semester I had problems viewing canvas assignments. Luckily I stayed in contact with him to sort it out and passed. Last exam is very hard, study hard and you should pass.
His lectures are NOT the test. He is kind of all over the place when it comes to him applying the notes on the board. Half of the stuff he taught was not on the tests. We also had no assignments except SmartBooks for each chapter so your grade mainly relies on the few test you take. Very kind, and funny teacher tho!
Im just now getting in his class this semester but for what I know of hes amazing
Professor Hymel is great! He lectures ALOT and is quite the jokester which helps makes the class more interesting. If you attend class, PAY ATTENTION, and do your smartbooks you will be just fine. He always provides a study guide before the test and he adds on bonus questions.
He was so awesome and a very easy A. His tests are literally his lectures.
This was my best professor ever....
Great teacher. easy A if you study and do smartbooks
He's very funny and knows how to lighten up the mood. He gives amazing lectures and grades fairly. He's just overall an amazing professor.
Mr. Hymel is a great teacher.
Super great professor can't stress that enough.if you need to take biology take this class!!! Study and you'll do great
I was lucky to have him before it became mandatory for test to be short answer only for biology major courses. If you have him for lecture I highly recommend having him for lab as well. I couldve done better had I did more studying. Attendance is a must and he hates excessive tardiness. Goes over study guides with class as well. Id take him again.
Great professor!!
Professor Hymel is this best! He made me fall in love with Biology. I took him for my lab and omg, I did not want to leave. He makes learning fun and he prepares you for every test. He's an awesome teacher and I would 100 percent recommend him.
