Travis is an excellant instructor. Labs were fun and interesting. Exams were hard but the class was well worth the time.

Great teacher, he makes everyone participate.He is very helpful to his students.You will learn a lot in his class.Not easy tests but always gives a chance to improve.

Human Genetics can be interesting with the right class. Just don't let the study guides overwhelm you.

Class is easy if you know your biology. He is a very easygoing guy. Made genetics fun!

While he does have some of the most difficult exams, the class is worth it all. I found him fun to listen to and watch...even on summer afternoons.

Microbiology is naturally just a hard class, but not impossible. Travis is very easy going and had a good time teaching class. Very open to answering questions and providing alternative explanations.

Travis is fun and laid back. I loved how on his exams you can try to rationalize your wrong answer and regain points lost.

I took the online class too. It is very hard for a distance learning class. You will earn your grade in this class. The instructor is very nice, but you will not get much help from him. You have to have very good reading comprehension (especially in science) to do well in the class, otherwise you better take it in the classroom.

Travis spent the first day talking about how hard it was for him to get his doctorate. He offers alot of helpful studying advice...that's if this is your first college class. His tests go off of his powerpoints, so as long as you study those you should pass the test. He gets really excited about microbiology and you willl learn alot.

Kidding aside, this class is tough. Travis just restructured so it's mainly powerpoints and hardly any in-class lectures. Labs are fun. You must be disciplined to do well. Lots of critical thinking-type questions on the exams. If you need help, ASK him to explain stuff. Don't take another science w/this-too overwhelming. Be prepared to work hard!

Travis, is very dedicated to teaching, yes its challenging, but its an intresting class, he wont answer questions eighther, but i think thats good, because you learn concepts while looking for answers. i really recommend this instructor!!!

Microbiology. This class was fairly difficult but Travis was awesome. He made it so interesting and fun. He was very helpful any time I had questions or extra study help. The best thing is that he teaches you to understand things not just memorizing facts. His class made A and P much easier. Take him.

Travis is epic and passionate about microbiology. He is an excellent asset to students who actually do their "homework" before coming to him for help and has no tolerance for students who want the answers given to them. The material is challenging and but there are no surprises on his exams. Don't be a whiner, do the work and an A is attainable.

travis is a really good teacher. his tests are kind of hard.however i do really like the way he grades. the lab was super fun and got 100% in it........i recommend this teacher. thanks travis

The material isn't easy, but Kibota is very helpful and will answer any questions you have. Labs are lots of fun! Attendance isn't mandatory which is nice, all lecture materials are provided on blackboard. Study ahead of time! I really enjoyed this class.

Most students don't understand Dr. kibota. Dr.Kibota wants students to understand microbiology and learn how to think!!! Students who get A or B in Kibota class are extremely smart. Trust me!!! This instructor knows what he is doing and how to teach!!! I learned alot from his class and i even want to major in Microbiology!!!

Overall I enjoyed this class. Lab was a lot of fun and its not graded except for an end of quarter report. Tests were hard because they are not like normal tests in which its mostly based on memory. Travis tries to teach you to think more, instead of just memorizing. However, the online quizzes help and some questions on the tests are very similar.

Loved Kibota! Loved that he doesn't require lecture attendance since he has pre-recorded lectures online. Love all of the practice quizzes and activities online to drill the info in. Difficult stuff, but try to actually comprehend, not just memorize and you will be fine. I recommend taking the 3 class A&P series first, that helped me a ton.

LOVED LOVED LOVED him!! His class expectations were crystal clear, he was excellent at helping with any questions and was always able to explain the material in a way that was easy to understand. If I could take all my BIO classes with him I would gladly!! It is a hard class and you do need to study but A's are possible

Microbiology is not a joke. I totally took it as one and ended up with a 56% on the first midterm. Prof. Kibota was very helpful with in-class lectures he does in congruent with the audio lectures. He will definitely help you succeed by giving different approaches to suit your learning style. Take Mr. Kibota! I managed to get through with an A-.:>

One of the best instructors I've ever had. I'm a second language student. The online powerpoint and written lectures helped me a lot. Plus he focused on what we needed to know, straight to the point. I'm taking genetics now. By taking his class previously is now saving me a lot of time. Got an A. :-))

He's very helpful and his class is a lot of fun!

Another gem instructor at Clark! Travis could be teaching ANYWHERE else, seriously. This course is sooo relevant to medicine and I'm going to MED school. While not a requirement for an AA BIO degree, you should definitely take this course from Travis.

I love this class! He goes out of his way to help his students! He not only places powerpoints online but he even records the lecture and types it out for you to print. He really cares about his students. Best professor I've ever had!

he is concerned about his students and has bent over backwards to help them through online materials and being available and approchable for questions. you must do your own work, but he does what he can to facilitate your learning.

He is an amazing teacher. He was always willing to help me and explain things to me when I needed it. I was thinking that the class was going to be boring and I was going to dread the 10 weeks but it was actually really fun! I enjoyed the unknowns project and all other assignments in the class. I would really recommend him! He was wonderful!

Great teacher. If you want an A in the class you can't memorize material. You have to really understand it and know it. Book is not needed for this class everything is online. I recommend going to lectures they are EXTREMELY helpful and you will understand the material better. Labs are mandatory until done with Unknowns, make a game plan.

He's a great teacher. It's very easy to understand his lectures. 50% points of the class are discussion and quiz (which you can repeat until you receive 10/10). Exams are not that bad. Easy A if you put some efforts into this class.

He's an okay teacher. I honestly felt lost in his class the whole term, he's not very clear about what to do. Some things he just expects you to know. I struggled in this class.

I think he means well in every aspect, but it does seem like he just wants to retire and move on. I don't blame him, he has been doing it for almost 30 years! If you need a Bio class, take it with him. Exams are really hard, but this is college, not for the weekend student. If you work your behind off and study every day you will do well.

This professor is easy as long as you study and ask questions just like any other class. People just need to start wanting to learn.

One of the better instructors I have had!

he is easy teacher just learn his notes and you will do great. Attendance is not required. Best teacher I have ever had.

I haven't taken any A&P classes yet, and I thought this was easy.Everything is online, so you have to be diligent with teaching yourself.Attendence isn't required, but lecture really does help.I think Travis is an awesome teacher and I like how all of the information is available to you at any time.Give out a lot of extra credit!

Kibota is a great teacher. He really wants you to learn the material. His online courses are set up so you can not fail. He always reminds the class "this is just one class in your long line of schooling". Very helpful... Highly Recommend!

I've heard Kibota is really tough in micro but as a nutrition teacher he's pretty easy. Just do your reading and try to understand instead of just pounding out the material. 20 min essays can be a pain, but he's a good teacher! (Be wary of his long winded comments though. He has A LOT to say)

This teacher actually helps you learn something.

I took this class online, I really enjoyed it! If you work hard and do your best you will do great! Mr. Kibota is very helpful and organized. He was a bit behind on getting assignments back but always did his best to provide feedback when needed regarding your progress in the class. The weekly quizes had very indepth questions, which were hard.

The online nutrition class was SOOOOO easy would definately recommend for an online course!

Doctor kibota is an amazing instructor. He is very knowledgeable about biology and provides amazing lectures that fit perfectly with the exams. The book is free online and 30 for a print and very easy to understand and follow.

There is a lot of lecture, but he makes it interesting. Test are not hard if you study.

I really liked him because he is fair and really wants you to do well, but you need to study. He offers ways to do better in his class, that I really liked. HE has taught for many years and I would take him again. He is a nice professor as well.

I took Bio160 with Travis and he was very helpful! He really cares about his students, explains science in a way that makes it easy to understand, provides other resources you can use to better understand topics, and his quizes had nothing new. It was all information we went over, the key thing was studying for them. Labs were also a lot of fun!

One of the best profs Ive taken. Gives extra credit and makes sure you passes the class (he takes pride in it!). Every quiz he has is literally all over his lectures, and he hands out thorough study guides. Highly recommend him and his humor!

Travis is super fun to be around. He clearly cares about and loves what he's teaching. Never in my life have I seen a teacher go so above and beyond to make sure students are able to understand and learn. He literally smiles when talking about the phospholipid bilayer in a cell. The class moves quickly though, so just keep on top of your work!

I took Travis for general biology and I absolutely loved it. He has a way of making really hard concepts just make sense. Great lectures, and he genuinely cares about the students. He is more than happy to help you with anything. 4 quiz (lowest quiz is dropped), 2 lab practicals, and the final. A pretty easy class if you only put in the work.

Prof. Kibota was AMAZING! He is very down to earth and in touch with his students. I was nervous about taking Biology and he made it very welcoming. He does tend to drag on in lectures though which made class feel a bit long but it was always relevant and still useful to the class. I HIGHLY recommend taking his classes.

I wish I could click all the good feedback! Mr Travis is the most AMAZING professor at Clark I had so far! English is not my first language but he makes sure that everyone understands his lectures! Science seems to be stress-free when you take it with him! I took Bio160 & would totally recommend him! Now I understand why his class easily gets full!

Travis is one of my favorite teachers I have had at Clark. He is super nice and understanding. My only complaint is that he gets off topic during lectures for a long time. He posts lecture videos that are more helpful than his in-class lectures (attendance is not mandatory). As long as you communicate with Travis and study, you will do well.

He is the best instructor I ever seen in my life. He makes Biology easy and fun class, he is so helpful , his lecture go smoothly and quickly. I really recommend to take this professor he is awesome and he help you to get A in his class. His questions in the exam straight forward.

Professor Kibota has great analogies to explain Biology concepts. He's a pretty easy grader, there will be an occasional funny/obvious right answer question on tests :) Take advantage of his online lectures and supplemental material, it does help with understanding.

He really is interesting in what hes teaching us, but he goes off topic quite a bit. Maybe once or twice he finished the PowerPoint due to him talking a lot. He grades hard, and his study guides are kind of off compared to the tests. Hes not a bad teacher but I wouldnt take him again because its not my learning style.

Travis is a great guy who cares immensely for his students. He thoroughly let us know that and focuses on making his class accessible to the students and will always help you when you need it. I'm a slacker so I didn't get an A, but he still was more than helpful enough in lecture and I was able to come out with a B just by showing up.

I took the Bio 160 class from Professor Kibota. I absolutely loved it and you can tell that he really wants you to learn the material. He is often available outside of class to help with material and his lectures are very interesting. Tests are hard, so you will need to read the book and study. He allows you to toss out one bad test score.

This class definitely is a hard 3 credit class. It is not an easy A, but I learned a lot. He sends out weekly emails and gives encouraging advice and reminders! You have a discussion every week, a few questions to answer, and normally one other assignment. Do not wait until Saturday night to do everything. The quizzes took me 3 hours sometimes.

Travis is an excellent biology instructor, and he gives thorough feedback throughout the quarter. Be prepared to spend a lot of time reading in order to participate in discussions. By the end of the term, students will have the framework to confidently reason through any ethical issue.

Professor Kibota was awesome. He provided really good and caring feedback and was very helpful if there was any type of confusion. Would take again for sure!

He is one of the best profs Iv'e had. He is a very kind person. He wants you to pass so he will do anything he can to help you out. He gives you tons of study guides and he will answer any questions you have. He will also go over the subject until everyone in the class understands. Very good prof. I highly recommend taking this class.

Mr. Kibota was a wonderful teacher he is very understanding and tries to help his students as much as he can. I will say that this is not an easy three-credit class, there are a lot of assignments, discussions post that you need to complete, but its nothing that I couldn't handle. If you stay focused you should be able to be successful in class.

Wow, With the virus and everything he did such a good job transitioning to online, although very stressful. He cares so much about his students and what he is teaching. Super passionate.

Great professor! Has helped me a lot this term realize great study habits. He is very caring and gives great lecture material. I definitely would take his classes in a heartbeat.

There are soooooooooo many assignments but they are not worth a lot so you have to make sure you get them done. He is super helpful and readily available. It is a tough class but he wants you to succeed. Half your grade is the exams so make sure you are prepared for those!!

Travis has been the most caring professor I've had so far at Clark, he realizes that college is difficult and truly wants you to succeed. The work in this course is not that difficult if you plan out your work each week, (which if you don't do already, why are you taking college courses) learned quite a bit. Expect A.P. Bio-type concepts.

Insanely passionate. He really cares about you and your grade. He is always kind and has great lectures. Do be prepared to do a lot of note-taking and reading though! Overall a great class, I would recommend Prof. Kibota to everyone for BIO!

He is very dedicated to making sure his students absorb the material. Only problem is that he assigns extra work to make sure that this is happening. There are 2 extra assignments almost every week that make you test out different studying styles and reflect on them. Be sure to start your lab modules early. Still like him as a professor overall.

Dr. Kibota is awesome! He's a practical grader, and is approachable/kind if you have any questions or are struggling. His discussions and study journals are worth a lot of points, so participate in those as much as possible. His assignments focus a lot on how well you're studying and retaining material, but do them and you'll do great. 100/10 prof.

Kibota really cares about his students. Every assignment has a solid full page of written feedback upon grading. The class is very informative, but there are a couple hours of work each week dedicated to discussing study habits and journaling. Nice professor, but I feel like there are probably better options that are more concise.

Genuinely one of the best professors i've had. Encourages you and provides great feedback that's really clear and precise. All assignments are reasonable and easy to follow. Gives plenty of time and opportunity for extra/ to make up credit. Would highly recommend him over any others for biology.

He's a great teacher, but be prepared for a fair amount of work. Each week you get about 5 assignments, including a fairly long lab. However, he let's you turn in work late and seems to be an easy grader. He want's you to succeed and you can really tell, however I found his class a bit dry.

Dr. Kibota is incredible. You can tell that he cares about what he does. Extra activities in the course encourage you to better yourself as a student and find learning strategies that work for YOU. Travis gives good feedback and grades with a lot of flexibility. Very understanding professor!! Would absolutely recommend his class.

Labs were at home and very easy/clear to follow. Quizzes and exams have 2 attempts so you can get a higher grade. Professor is responsive and helps guide you through the course.

Be sure to read all of the textbook, watch lectures, do labs, and take good notes! Workload is manageable, weekly discussion post, lab, quiz, and reflection. He is super easy to reach out to for help and is understanding if you can't turn something in on time. Focus really hard when it comes to the four exams, they are graded heavy!

You can tell the professor cares about his students. He sends inspirational messages and is very lenient on grading work. There is alot of work in this class. The labs are very long but he allows you to turn in late work. You can do well if you turn in all of your work and do decently on your exams.

I gave him a 5 star review because he always took late work, and he was super kind and respectful. When i read other reviews saying be wary of lots of work TRUST ME. It was A LOT. The labs were difficult and his discussions were pretty hard. . Also before you consider a different professor my two friends chose different ones andit was the same work

You can tell professor Kibota cares about his students. Not everyone learns the same way so its great that Professor Kibota offers advice and helps out to make sure everyone succeeds by using the learning style that suits them. He provides clear expecations, and feedback. Be prepared to do your fair amount of studying for exams.

Loved him as a person. As a teacher not so much. Study guides do not correlate with exams. Lectures do not correlate with exams. There were two textbooks to chose from but still did not correlate with the exams. But there was a bunch of extra credit opportunities which saved my grade. No extensions on quizzes or exams.

Professor Kibota cares about his students' learning styles. The workload is manageable with weekly assignments, but exams can be challenging. unstuck AI and the free textbook helped me prepare effectively.

Awesome professor! He cares about all of his students success and will help you any way he can. If you take a course with him don't be afraid to reach out, he is very responsive and helpful :)

Biology 160 is a really tough class, but Travis made it better. He gives excellent feedback and you can tell he actually wants students to learn the material. He is super into study techniques and helping students find the best way to maximize their learning. If you do the work and put in quality effort (especially with the labs), you'll do good.

I only had him for the lab portion of BIOL260, but he was wonderful. He comes off as very knowledgeable and experienced without being intimidating. He is easy to reach outside of class and is very good with accomodations. He is very kind and easy-going, definitely made lab more enjoyable and less scary. He always explains/demonstrates what to do.

Prof. Kibota was an incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and easily accessible professor. He was super flexible on due dates as long as you communicated with him. The workload was heavy, but it will be no matter which prof you take. He provides amazing study guides - USE THEM! 2 discussion posts a week, weekly quiz, weekly lab. Would highly recommend!
