I'll start with the bad. I do not find him to be easy and if you aren't into Biology you might have to work a litte harder. However, he is great. He knows his stuff very well and is very very approachable. Also, he uses a lot of funny analogies to help you understand the material a little more. Do study for the tests though...

Warner is such an enthusiastic teacher. You can tell he loves being a teacher and he cares about your success. Lab is easy. He's only downfall is his review. He doesn't hold one in class and any of the posts online don't really illustrate the test well. Tests are half multiple choice, half short answers. Overall I'd recommend over and over again.

He is a laid back person, easy going, and very helpful. However he is not what you would consider an easy A teacher. You must work for your A dedicating study time to ensure it.

One of the greatest lecturers I've had for my science classes. Easy to understand, makes topics interesting, very helpful with questions, and overall amazing professor. The amount of work seemed a lot in the beginning, but all that ends up helping you retain the information for tests and future bio classes.

Dr. Bair is a great professor. Notes are all online if needed. Offers extra credit. He makes recordings in case you do not understand what goes on in lab. The exams are only hard if you do not understand the material. But the good thing about exams is that it is only part of your overall grade vs. majority. Hard class in general but he teaches good
