Very helpful, but hard exams

No Comments

Good professor w/ clear lectures, but exams are very difficult. You really need to know your material. Very helpful guy overall, especially if you're a bio major.

Professor Turtle is one of the hardest-working and most educational men you'll meet.

Dr.Rimkus is an awesome Professor. If you listen in class and write notes on everything taught in lecture, you should do fine. You have to study for his exams, do not expect to go into class without preparing hard for the exam. At all times, avoid studying the night before the exam.

IIIII LOVED THE CLASS!!! GREAT TEACHER!! JUST MAKE SURE YOU PAY ATTENTION IN CLASS, THEN EVERYTHING ELSE WILL FALL INTO PLACE.

Good teacher. Knows what he is doing. makes the class fun and makes the exams not fun at all. also a good advisor.

the best teacher i have ever had, you cant slack in the class or you wont do well but you learn so much from it

His lectures are really cool..u learn a lot..his tests are hard but you learn so much from him. he explains everything really well and this is one class that i stayed awake in;)

ive had him for tons of classes....awesome in all

Professor Rimkus is a very good teacher you learn alot in his class. I would suggest getting a tape recorder because he talks fast! You have to study because he has tough exams. He is organized and helpful.

Very tough on exams, but VERY fair. He is excellent at breaking the material down so you can understand it. He is also very accessible outside of class & will help you if needed. Dr. R also makes class fun and I looked forward to going every day.

He cares for his students. I took him last summer and he rules, i dont recommend you to take him during normal semester, but taking him over the summer youll have an A. But he is only easy on non- BIOLOGY majors. If you want to be a doctor and learn take him, if you want to pull your hair out dont. I enjoyed him & alot in my class did too.

The Best!

I learned a lot in this class. He is good at teaching the material in a way that is understandable. The exams are really tough, so they do take studying, but he is willing to help out if you need it.

Rimkus is awesome he's super cool and funny in a corny adorkable teacher way.

Brilliant teacher. honestly cares about students

Dr. R is awesome.. if you have the chance to take his class..GO FOR IT!! His tests really are not bad you just have to think about what he is asking you on each question.It is mostly common sense and notes. He cares about each student and is an awesome guy. TAKE HIS CLASS!!! MU '12

For the person the wrote on 1/6/06 ... if you want to see your answers all you have to do is go to him during office hours. He is very reasonable and a great teacher. Take his class if you get the chance!!

Best professor ever! Really helpful when you want to get extra help. I'm not a science major or a big fan of science but this class was fun and I really enjoyed taking it! I would definitely recommend it to everyone! Dr. Rimkus is a great professor!

I am retracting my statement on 6/12 because it sounded a bit negative. The class was great because I learned so much and he pushed our class to exceed far beyond our expectations. It was hard because I had to study a lot but if you work hard, you can do very well in this class and learn so many cool things about anatomy to prepare u for your jo

This class is difficult in the fact that you probably won't pass the tests with a normal study schedule; with previous bio knowledge, you should be fine. Lectures are great, and he knows what he's talking about, but the test are very tricky and are about relating certain topics. I would suggest taking this class, but expect a lot of work, OK? Bye!

Rimkus is a great professor. He is funny, engaging, and VERY clear. Everything you need to know for his exams is in his lectures, so GO TO CLASS. The exams are a little bit tricky, but if you pay attention and spend a little bit of time each day studying, you will be fine! The lab helps too! Take him, he's great!

He's is very helpful, and makes the course fun but very knowledgeable. It's a tough class, but if you use the resources to understand the material, you'll be set! He's very open to helping his students and answering any questions needed. highly recommended!

Rimkus is a very entertaining man who, although he has corny jokes, at least tries to make it interesting. The class is easy as long as you go to lecture and listen to him. Everything is handed to you in powerpoints so all you have to do is highlight. Tricky wording on exams but worth taking the class if you're interested

He is a great teacher! His test are tricky but his lectures are exactly what you need to know. Requires a lot of studying but he is very helpful and if you put the effort in he will help you out. Highly recommend taking his class, you will learn a lot if you meet him half way!

Very engaging professor. Makes lectures fun, but the material is very difficult. Don't be afraid to ask him to explain something twice! He's very nice about it and helps you get the best grade possible.

He is a really good and nice teacher, however he does teach straight from the powerpoints. Pay close attention to what he is saying during the lectures and powerpoints because somethings are VERY important and not mentioned in the slides. His tests are a little tricky but he if you study the powerpoints and take good notes you'll be okay.

Very hard class, impossible to get an A. You will get tons of information and be expected to know everything. Record every lecture and expect to spend hours upon hours studying. Gives 4 tests and a final. Try to get a good lab grade it will boost overall grade.

The most important thing you can do it RECORD THE LECTURES. Everything on the tests comes from what he says in class. Two days before an exam, just make a point to listen to all of the lectures while taking notes, study those notes, and you will do fine on tests. If you are stuckconfused, go to his office hours and he will help you for sure.

A lot of information in lectures so go to class and take good notes- what he says is on the tests. After you take a test, go in and review it with him- he is a very fair grader. He is a great professor and I really suggest taking his classes.

Professor Rimkus knows his stuff. He is a great lecturer and will tell you what you need to know for exams. He can come off a little snarky at first but that is just his personality. Put forth the effort and you will pass the class. The textbook is helpful but if you come to class you will not need it.

Always attend his lecture! My best advice is to record all of his lectures, study the info from lecture, and do the practice assignments he posts online. Everything on his test are from lectures or the practice assignments. He explains the material very well. He's also willing to help if you don't understand the information.

If you absolutely hate science as I do then you may NOT want to take this class. His test are extremely hard and the lectures will have you looking in space. However, if you ask him for help or just simply speak to him about what you are struggling with he will help you.

Dr. Todd Rimkus is a fun always joking around with us the students. He seems to have so much fun talking about the things we don't give a flying damn about. He is also always trying to give us less info and filtering that info which he will always says "you guys don't care about this".

He is an awesome professor. However, his test are really hard. He says he's not trying to trick you, but when you get a question that's the exact definition for something but the answer is for another word... I'd say that's someone trying to trick you. however, you'll actually learn in his class. Just record the lectures and you'll be fine.

I only took him for the Summer session and the class was super easy. I'm not a bio major, so I felt like I got just the amount of biology that I needed. The whole thing was very hands-on in terms of the work you did: touching plants and animals, etc.

Rimkus was a really cool Anatomy and Physiology professor. He was really kind, funny and even managed to work with students if there was a conflict with their grade or scheduling. I highly recommend him. And!! He posts up his lectures in a video form in case anyone missed the class. Oh and tests are fairly easy, so long as you study for them!

Dr. Rimkus is a great professor. he is very caring and wants his students to succeed. That being said: This class will REQUIRE you to study LOTS and I mean LOTS. Rimkus only has 4 exams and the final for the entire year. He does not give any other assignments. BUT, he does give extra credit on exams which will help your test grade. STUDY HARD!!

I do not even know a thing about BIO and still got a B+. He is a nice and an easy going professor. He helps a lot with his exams (Giving us so many Circles to get good grades) and he is super FUNNY!

Rimkus, best teachers in Marymount hands down. He is understanding and flexible when it comes to exam due dates. His exams are all MC and T/F so you actually have to study the material. Heavy lecture but if you miss class, you won't miss anything coz you'll have the lecture posted on canvas. Just work with him and he'll reciprocate. funny as well!

Rimkus is a great professor however this class is not easy by any means. You definitely have to study and work hard for your grade but his online lectures are very helpful as secondary study material. Your grade is entirely based on exams which is both good and bad. Hes approachable but could also be condescending and slightly rude sometimes.

Belize Trip: UNBELIZEABLE

Unbelizeable!!!! We love the same show & we love reading.

Taking Bio 127, the study abroad trip to Belize, was incredible. Dr. Rimkus is amazing and the trip was perfect. I learned so much! It's obviously a very nontraditional class, all we did was a one page reflection, a power point slide, & an essay, and learned and participated on the trip. I can't stress how much this class meant to me.

One of the best professors. A lot of material, and exams were hard so make sure to study and take good notes. He posts all lectures and even makes notes for each lecture. He wants everyone to pass with a good grade and will help you. No homework, Attendance isn't mandatory but going to his lectures in person is worth it.
