What an excellent instructor. Makes a very difficult much easier to 'digest'. He has to be one of the best Biology professors. Take him if you have to take the dreaded biology course.

If your choice is between Megaw and Tyler, choose Tyler because taking Megaw is the equivalent of spending 4 months in hell. Tyler's cool, the tests aren't so bad. Try him out.

His oceanography class is really easy. The study guide cover the test. He gives notes online. you really don't have to attend the class

Dr. Tyler is a good professor, however he is not suited to teach students who need alot of pampering, he has more of a university style of teaching. I would reccomend that anyone wanting to transfer to university take his class!

Dr. Tyler is awesome, super knowledgeable, and a awesome help in understanding what you can't grasp on your own. Good teacher, makes it very easy to learn bio. Id take him for every class if I could!

He tries to make it interesting, but the subject itself is very dull. The exams are very hard. you need to take notes and study his notes to pass the class.

Good professor, easy to talk to.

excellent professor, very easy to talk to, has no problem answering questions, does not matter how many times you ask. makes learning fun.

GOOD TEACHER BUT HARD. It wasnt so bad in bio 1- got an A but in bio 2 (oh my lord) very hard. The class average was a low 'C.' Dont take him for bio 2 because you wont get a good grade...a hard teacher + a hard course= too much stress.

Excellent teacher, has all notes and lectures posted on website. Easy to approach with questions and is very fun in class. VERY HARD exams, but is fair in curving grades + throws away questions if too many people miss them.

very good proffesor but very hard. you must study his notes

this class is very hard. tyler wasn't a bad teacher it's just that the material he covered was way too much to remember. he expects his students to study 6-9 hours per week for his class.

just beware of the final u have to THINK as opposed to memorizing facts u cud memorize the book verbatim but it will do no gud unless u put your mind in 'scenario' mode while studying in order to answer the ?s there is probably a huge "curve" on the final tho so you may b pleasantly surprised w/ur final grade only complaint is he doesnt say wat to study for each test, has dyslexia n sometimes he mixes things up

Good teacher. Very enthusiastic on subject. All the material is in the notes. I was scared to take this class in the summer but I got a B++ and really didn't try too hard.

awsome teaching style. he wont let you fall asleep.

First, Dr. Tyler is very nice and tries to keep the class interesting, he knows what he is doing BUT, this IS the HARDEST classes i have ever taken. Does give small curve on all tests but it is a tough class, try to avoid is possible atleast get another teacher

great instructor, makes the difficult sound simple

Dr Tyler is tough, if you're looking for an easy A look elsewhere. If you're looking for a passionate, dedicated instructor that really wants you to learn, hes a good choice. His tests are tough but he does give some easy questions too.

Dr. Tyler is very enthusiastic and makes his class's very interesting. This makes it very easy to pay attention in his classes. He explains every thing very clearly. His tests are not that easy but they are bearable. I would definitely take him again.

oh well, i dont know y pple re saying he is tough, but for me, i think he is easy. i took oceanograpy with him and it was easy. all u nid to do is to study his powerpoint and follow d way he gave to study. i had A+ in his class.

His Oceanography class was a lot easier than Biology 2. He is a very nice teacher, know what he is talking about. You cant procrastinate in this class. The test are hard, but if you study, you should pass the class.

I took this class online and during the summer semester. He is very fair about the amount of work given. I thought his class was pretty easy overall and I would recommend hime to anyone taking a science class.

he made the class enjoyable. he gives small hints about some questions on the tests and if you pay attention to the online quizzes some of the same questions shows up on the tests, not very many though

Fun, Smart, Easy to talk too. Bio 2 is generally a hard class, but he makes it as easy as it can be. Take him if you have the option.

Dr. Tyler is very helpful. He really cares about his students.Take this class online. Everytime I needed help he always responded quickly.

Dr. Tyler is a funny cool teacher but his Bio course is very detailed. If you study the material you will get a passing grade. He does curve the tests, depending on the questions most people missed. He is also very helpful.

Okay teacher. He is funny and a pretty nice guy. He puts all his notes online(don't bother buying textbook). Tests are multiple choice and easy if you study the material. During class he sometimes goes on about pointless stuff, sometimes for nearly 15 minutes. He knows his stuff though! overall, i wouldn't mind taking him again.

great teacher, passionate baout biology! patient and flexible, doesn't rush through ideas just to cover them, looks for comprehension

OKAY, so... Biology II itself is hard not Prof. Tyler. There is alot of material to be covered so studying is literally an every night deal. Prof. Tyler is always in his office and more than happy to show you your grades, tests scores, errors, and talk to you about where biology can take you. HE KNOWS HIS STUFF- and LOVES what he does.

Tyler is an amazing bio teacher.Hes funny, passionate, and takes your education seriously. Go to class and your set. Rarely cracked the book and it was only for the online quizzes. Got a B in the class. If you are serious about bio there isnt anyone else you should take it with.

He can be a hard teacher but he's super nice! He really cares about his students and if you ask him for help he will help you. No matter how long it takes for you to understand it, he will take the time out for you to get it. He curves grades. Takes off questions on tests. I passed with a "C." I'd take him again. He knows what he's talking about!

I have no idea why people have written such mean comments about Dr. Tyler! He is a SUPERIOR teacher! I took him for Bio I and I'm interested in taking him again for Biology II. He DOES curve grades, take questions off tests and he truly cares about his students! I recommend him! I passed with a C! He really loves Biology and truly loves teaching 2!

People need to back off Dr. Tyler because hes the most passionate Bio teacher IRSC has! He makes this corny jokes but atleast he interacts with his class! Just because he doesnt hand out easy A's dont label him as a bad teacher. How can ppl be upset because HE DOES HIS JOB?! Great Prof. not an easy 'A' but I earned an 89.something and I got an 'A'

Took online class during the summer. Was ALOT of reading and studying during the summer but I really enjoyed the course. Dr.T was extremely helpful. Responded to e-mails timely. He cares about students. Did curve grades. I passed with an "A". Would def take him again. Had 4 online exams. 1 midterm & 1 final @ testing center. Provided study guides.

Doc Tyler is an awesome, passionate and funny professor who loves teaching and science. I had him for an Oceanography course as well as Upper Level Ecology. Hands down my favorite prof. from IRSC - he even got me a job at Harbor Branch Oceanography Institute. If you love science, definitely take a class with Doc, you won't regret it.

Professor Tyler is great. He does his best to keep the lectures interesting but the amount of material is overwhelming. Whether you take him or another professor you have to read the chapters and study nonstop. The biggest thing leading to an A in this class is MEMORIZATION. His tests are not bad if you know your material. The class is whats hard.

Dr Tyler's clas is difficult but he wants the students to excel. You can not slack in this class-it covers quite a bit of material in a short time(summer). Would recommend him to everyone but remember you must be prepared to do the work. He makes the learning interesting.

Dr. Tyler is a great teacher! He cares about his students and replies to questions quickly. Tests are easy to pass if you take notes and read the book.He will drop your lowest test grade and allows you to take online quizzes as many times as you want. His lectures aren't boring because he loves his job.

Great prof. Easy to listen to and is very enthusiastic about the material. Provides a lot of resources to help you. There was a lot of information to remember in the class (bio 2) so make sure to take notes and read through the book.

Great teacher, dont buy the book, test multiple choice, very interesting stuff. I got a C in his class & I had no clue as to what I was doing.

He's the best teacher I've ever had. He really made me thing about biology. I apply his class to the real world more than any other class I've had. Take his class if you want to learn. Don't take his class if you want an easy A. His tests are difficult and you will have to study a lot to get a good grade. Don't go around disturbing sea cucumbers.

Not bad, he explains the material very well, keeping even the most easily distracted student paying attention. Don't buy the book though, we never used it. All his noted are online. Tests are fairly easy if you study. Overall a good teacher.

This guy makes wanting to know more about Biology very difficult he explains information as if you already have a maters degree in Biology. I understood better using YouTube. Thought that the bad reviews where just being a sourpuss but in actuality he fit their words. if you don't understand Biology in DEPHT take someone that can explain better.

He is the most passionate teacher Ive ever had!If you dont understand he is more than happy to answer your questions. His tests come from the BOOK (although he only uses PPT during class)There is no extra credit but if you do the quizzes online, they are easy 100. Also he uses the quiz questions on the tests.

Class has lots of information to learn. Seems difficult at first but comes together in the end. Dr. T is a very enthusiastic teacher and is willing to help even during exams. Class study hints: listen to lecture, read chapter, study the power point for review(multiple times). Do these things in that order and you'll enjoy Dr. T's class with an A!

He is honestly a great professor, his test are easy if you study. Drops one test and clarifies any questions you might have. Would take him again any time! Seriously worth it.

He really gives you every resource he can!

Very nice, helpful, up front professor! Lectures are detailed, and tests reflect that. But you have options on what questions you want to answer, so you can pick what you know. Gives great feedback on tests and the final paper. Grading criteria is available to clear. Paper can be tough, but he walks you through it. Funny and witty lectures!

I have Dr Tyler now. I love him. He is so animated in his lectures, it makes them interesting and not boring. He does grade a bit tough but no more than any one else.

He gives four tests and drops the lowest score, but the tests are pretty difficult (30 multiple choice). Has one assignment worth 30% of your grade, but it's pretty simple (all of the answers are online). His lectures are LONG and you need to stay the entire time. If you show up to every class, you'll get an extra 16% onto your grade.

Kept me interested throughout every lecture. He is well spoken, friendly, and very passionate about the subject he teaches. His exams should not be difficult for anyone who makes an effort and utilizes his powerpoints and online quizzes. If you are interested in biology and willing to study, you should definitely take professor Tyler's class.

When I first started this class, I was a bit taken back by his huge study guides. I soon found out that just reading the book straight was the best option for me. All of the class is just reading the text book and taking tests. The book gets boring and sometimes confusing, but Professor Tyler responds really fast to any questions or concerns.

Good professor but not for me. If you know nothing about Biology, skip this professor. Tests are difficult. Lecture is confusing.

Dr. Tyler is a great professor. His lectures were recorded so you could watch them from home. It was a good amount of work, but he tells you what you need to know. I bought the book, however, I didn't use it much. I just focused on his powerpoints and lectures and got an A. I repeat though, this course is not an easy A.

Professor William is Great!!!! if you are taking him with easier classes. I took him alone and I manage to get an A in both Lab and lecture. Wonderful Teacher. Interested in what he teaches and he is willing to help.

He was really fun during lecture and was very enthusastic about teaching. He is really reasonable and willing to help. His test were hard but if you study the study guides he provides you will do good on the test.

I found Dr. Tyler to be an overall really great professor. His passion and enthusiasm for the subject made his lectures interesting and captivating. He'd crack some good jokes at times, and shared cool personal stories that were always relevant to what we were learning. He is willing to work with you and help you out if you are struggling.

Professor Tyler was pretty great! I really enjoyed his class and lectures. BUT, his test are SUPER difficult, even though he dropped questions and makes extra credit questions. And, all you have for the class is Connect and Tests, which don't help much. The subject is very "dry", which makes it worst.

Dr. Tyler is an awesome professor. He is always willing to help if you need it. His lectures make the material interesting. If you do the work, you will get a good grade. I would definitely take Dr. Tyler for other classes in the future.

Science is not my strongest subject but he was an amazing teacher. Gives you packets for every chapter to study off of & they most definitely help. Has great lectures, keeps you entrained, & very informational. He knows what he is teaching & can answer question well. Overall caring & helps as much as he can.

Nice guy who is really enthusiastic about the material. He is good at explaining what he means and is eager to clarify or answer questions. Emails you back quickly but I found it hard to study for his tests. It was so much material it was hard to know which parts he would put on his exam. He can be quite wordy as well.

If you know how to study material and actually understand organisms and their systems, you will do just fine in this class. Dr. Tyler is fantastic, but if you do not study or put the effort in then you will not do well.

Do the worksheets and study And you will pass

Dr. Tyler is a great professor. He takes the extra step to explain his lectures and the content within them. Tests were not too hard. He gives long worksheets for each chapter and surprisingly, they help a lot with the tests and full comprehension of the content. His time management could be a bit better, but overall a great, caring professor.

Professor Tyler was by far one of the best teachers I have ever had. He is very clear with everything he teaches and answers any questions to the best of his ability. I love that he gives study guide worksheets. They helped with every single test. Lots of coursework but as long as you put time into it, you'll do just fine.

His lectures are very good and he explains things very well. He uses diagram, pictures, and videos. He also makes jokes and has enthusiasm. If you pay attention in class and listen to the lectures, you won't even have to read the textbook. His PowerPoint slides are very detailed and he gives out study sheets, but he does give out 6 tests.

I took an online class over the summer. I sat and worked on this class about 2 hours a day. The tests are difficult and very specific. You have to study for HOURS before a test. 2 of the tests are proctored in the ASC lab, no open notes allowed. So you really have to know your stuff. But overall, with a lot of studying you can get an A.

A really great teacher loves what's he does and gets really into the material loves answering questions and real easy to talk to. Work wasn't hard just had to keep up on it and exams were fairly difficult. Just great class amazing teach !

OCE was by far the most fun class I had ever taken. Mr. Tyler was very understanding and helped me through any issues I had. The grades were well deserved: if you worked hard enough for it, you would get it. He does not require massive amounts of homework or extra work, but still gives plenty of opportunity for a good grade.

Amazing! The amount of knowledge he shares shows that he truly cares about the subject and his profession. He really cares about his student's success, just communicate with him if you have any issues. I ran into a situation, needing an extension, he was willing to work with me to get it turned in. I would definitely take him for every class!

Bill Tyler was a great teacher. He gave very in depth lectures off of power points and hinted at what was going to be on the test. Beware if you like to skip class to not take his class because although the at home power points are good his lectures help way more. Read the power points before class. Also, he gives extra credit on tests!!

Prof. Tyler is a great instructor and is easy to follow along with since his lectures are enthusiastic. He gives out packets that are due by test day (super helpful study material + easy As) and his tests are relatively easy if you study. Hes fair and very kind. He offers lots of help if you need it. Seriously take him! His class was my fav.

Dr. Tyler is kind and always willing to work through any problems that you have. He gives worksheets that relate to the lesson for homework and the average grade was used to replace your lowest exam score. The exams are challenging, so make sure to study and take good notes. He is goofy and really cares about biology.

Dr. Bill/William Tyler is one of the best college professors I have ever had. He explains topics and ideas very clearly. His anecdotes during lecture are very interesting and related to real-life every day scenarios. Very well respected. You can't go wrong in choosing him as your Biology professor, lecture and/or lab.

Great professor! Very passionate which makes the tests difficult so put a lot of effort into studying. Make lots of flash cards

Makes passing his tests easy, just go to the lecture and do the study guides. One test grade gets dropped and all the study guides average out and can add up equal to a 100% on a test.

Dr. Tyler is a great teacher. He is very clear with his thought process and includes powerpoints to follow along his lectures online. He even records his lectures so that, if you miss class, it's all online for you. Make sure you do his packets. Not only are they for a grade, but they're really great study material.

Fantastic professor. Hes super passionate and always there to help! He never makes you feel dumb and always welcomes lots of questions

His lecture usually ended up being longer than the class. It was a hybrid so all of his lectures were already online by the time you started the semester. It was only about 6 weeks long with lectures every day for about two hours a day and test every 6 lectures or so. He is a very nice guy. very knowledgeable.

AMAZING PROFESSOR LOVED HIS CLASS SO MUCH TAKING ANOTHER ONE NEXT SEMESTER. VERY INTERESTING TOPICS AND NOT BORING. NOT TOO MUCH WORK EASY A+ IF YOU WORK HARD.

Over was a good experience. The lab was really enjoy.

He does a few at home exams but they don't ask for much normally, and then of course theres a midterm and final. He's a really great guy though, he wants to try to help at any chance he can get and make sure everyone understands what he's saying. He does get ahead of himself sometimes but its funny when he catches himself. Overall great professor.
