This class is awful. Know all the terms of biology and get ready to have lots of your time taken up!

This professor's tests are so incredibly hard. I studied for one test for 8+ hours and got a C. His material is WAY beyond what any BIOS 101 professors are teaching on campus. Do not take his class; take any other professor for BIOS 101. If all else fails, wait for next semester to take this class from another professor.

Worst professor I've had on campus. Never responds to emails. I'll never take another class of his

Tests are super hard! Material is way to tough for an entry level Biology course. I will never take a class with him again!

He isn't a good professor. I used to love biology and now I finished the semester not liking bio At all it. I wish I would have picked a different class. Very boring classes

He's not very organized, often emails you the night before telling you to print the lecture outline for class the next morning. Extremely hard tests, way too difficult especially for an entry level class. Puts grades in late.

very rude, easy to fail

This guy created his own website for literally no understandable reason. He would make you go watch his videos other than lecture time. His website does not work very well and one of my assignment was not recorded so I got a 0 for that one. He has some serious English proficiency issues (bad grammar, spelling, over use of abbreviations)

Used to love Biology and now I hate it. He really is an awful teacher. Even after meeting with him and asking him what I was doing wrong, I still suck. Asks for all this detail in study questions that he doesnt give in notes. Literally did so bad because I wasnt detailed enough because his notes are crap.

He offers four tests and the test averages are often 70% after he curves them. Students tend to do poorly on exams. He also offers study questions which are the other part of your grade, however, he randomly posts them and has them due in just a few days after, not prepared at all and very intimidating.

Terrible, cannot write properly on board. Just rambles on until time to leave. Very unorganized. Made appointment with prof and he did not show up. Pushes questions only he can answer to TA's. I have learned more from other students rather than the teacher. Teacher belongs in a lab rather than teaching. Does not relate with students.

I would not recommend this class to anyone. The tests are terrible and not go with the notes taken in class. Continually gives online homework and is very unorganized.

Do not take this class. Prof Glider is very unorganized and is not clear with the material he is teaching. His tests do not match the lecture notes and they are very difficult.

Dr. Glider is the worst. He does not respond to emails, does not show up to planned class events/meetings, or explain the material in a way that makes sense. The tests are really difficult and the assignments take hours to complete. He was didnt know how to use the technology and he was rarely prepared for class. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS.

I would highly highly recommend not taking a biology class with Dr. Glider. His exams are very difficult and very hard to study for. The only other points you can receive besides the exams are study questions. The study questions are very strenuous and take hours at a time to do. If you have to take a biology class like I did, DO NOT TAKE GLIDER.

horrible class. the tests are hard and impossible to study for and the study guide says basically "study everything", class is just listening to a lecture. Only other chance to up your grade is study questions which are equally horrible and hard and take hours to do. Passing with a C is great which is just terrible because this is a 101 class.

This is by far the worst professor Ive had at UNL. If youre not good at science do not take this class with Glider. The study questions take hours to do and are so specific even if you think you know what the answer is youll probably get some credit taken off some how. Tests are impossible to get a good grade on even if you study a ton.

Lecture is very boring and tests and study questions are extremely difficult. Try not to take it with glider if you absolutely need to take bio. Only good thing is extra credit is offered and if ur borderline of getting a higher letter grade by a point hell bump ur grade up if you had good attendance. Very challenging class for 100 level

bad exams, useless website, a hard course for a 100L beginners class. I don't recommend taking his class.

This class was the hardest class I have ever taken and Glider was terrible at explaining the information. I changed my major after this class because it was so bad. So many people failed the class, so good luck trying to get a passing grade.

Avoid BIOS101 with Professor Glider at all costs. UNL has one of the worst Biology professors I've ever seen. No structure and does not care to improve a student's interest in the subject. Generating interest is necessary in order to do well in any subject. Glider is easily one of the laziest professors at UNL. Disgrace to education.

I definitely do not suggest taking a class taught by this professor. He is very unorganized and assignment due dates were not consistent through the semester. He was not respectful of the students' time and tried to teach more material after class was dismissed.

By far the absolute worse professor I have ever had. He is so unorganized and does not care about his students at all. He clearly just comes to campus each day to get a paycheck. All you do in his lecture is sit and take notes. He is not at all friendly to his students or even his TAs. His tests are long and very hard. Do NOT get him for any class.

tests are incredibly difficult and the study questions he assigns are very hard as well. stay away from this fella if you can

very tough grader, doesn't really update grades often so it's hard to know where you're at. please do not take this professor unless you want a challenge

Prof. Glider is a good person and wants his students to do well but he makes this difficult. His lectures are unorganized and difficult to understand and the homework and exams are very difficult even with immense studying. If you miss class you're screwed because he doesn't post the notes anywhere or use canvas; takes forever to grade things.

Glider doesn't answer emails, his class is very hard to do well in because everything must be in his words. He adds a lot of extra comments not on slides that are on exams, he also goes very fast. He takes a long time to grade. Overall wasn't a fan of this class.

He didnt give the lectures to you if you missed a class. I do not recommend this class to anyone. I emailed him and it took him many hours to respond to the email. The supplemental instruction sessions were in a time period that I was busy. I asked him to see if he could do a different time. He never did. He was an extremely tough grader.

Maybe this would be different if it was inperson but his class has been my worst experience at UNL by far. I got covid and missed a test+a quiz, and when I emailed him he only responded to say I would make it up on the final and did not respond to any follow up emails or any unrelated issues I had. Add to that his website for grade is from the 90s

Lots of homework, you even cannnot find it one canvas.

Not a good professor at all, very lecture heavy and just expects you to know everything right off the bat. Doesn't assign enough things to do to get your grade up, so if you fail a test, you are pretty much done for.

Glider is a fine human and is very smart-- however, he's an AWFUL professor. Exams are wildly difficult, if you HAVE to take this course with this professor, GO TO SI, and make sure to do well on study questions!!! For exams, in your notes, he will star things, study those things in particular and form a good relationship w him. Do all EC!!

The lectures are so boring and are not helpful at all but attendance is mandatory. The tests are very hard to study. The study questions are the same format so I would just focus on those. He says he cares for the students but doesn't really ever reach out. Try to avoid taking a class with him at all costs.

Discriminated against my gender (female) and my chronic medical condition. Talked behind my back to other students about me and said condition. Just a terrible human who has no empathic values. Disappointed that the university is associated with someone like this.

This class made me change my major completely. The lectures make you want to go to sleep. The study questions are long and do not make sense, these are the only thing you get graded on besides exams. Do not take this class unless you have to.

One week was all I needed to realize that I needed to drop this course and register for the other BIOS101 instructor. Does not respond to emails. Does not know how to work the tech equipment. Uses a super weird website instead of Canvas for all assignments. Super late testing times for no reason. Disparaged his TA on day 1. Avoid at all costs.

This professor does not read any emails, and you can only see him in person if you write in a notebook at the front of the classroom. You only have tests and study questions- which are extremely difficult. Attending class is required because he does not post the lecture slides.

I would NOT recommend him. You only have hard exams + study questions as your grade which makes it difficult to keep your grade up. The lectures make you fall asleep, and hard to stay attentive in his class.
