I took it in the summer of 2021, and it was very easy. It was based on 3 exams, 2 quizzes, and 2 written reports. The book is not necessary to purchase, so you technically don't need one. Lectures covered everything you need to know about what's on the quizzes/exams. I'd recommend it to those who are looking forward to taking an easy science class.

He had lectures 2 times a week and it really helped out since we didnt really need the book, very informational. His quizzes and tests come straight from the lectures and we had 2 assignments that were researched based. Overall very straightforward with the work. Tests and quizzes were multiple choice.

I took the class online so I am not sure how he is in-person. The class was preschool level stuff. I just needed to do a few quizzes and two exams which were open-notes and super easy. For homework, there was only one real assignment in the semester that was supposed to take about 2 to 4 hours max. BIO-19 with Prof. Halama was a solid choice!

Professor Halama made science fun for me! His lectures were entertaining and easy to comprehend. He is kind enough to offer slides which have the info from the text, therefore the textbook is not required only recommended. Only quizzes and exams but other than that no hw. Take good notes and you'll pass! Would definitely take this class again!

The easiest A you will ever get. We had optional zoom meetings twice a week, two very simple reports, three quizzes and three exams. He is very knowledgeable and super kind! Very willing to answer any questions you have. If you struggle with biology or want an easy class this is the one.

This professor for environmental science is the best at RCC. Took him for the fall of 2020 online. Usually classes are just power point lectures (Straight forward material). NO HOMEWORK. Every test is open notes/ open powerpoint slides. grading is only on quizes and tests (Don't worry, its easy questions). You want an easy "A" ? take his class. ;)

I took professor Halama during the Spring of 2019 and he is a very good Health Science professor! His lecture material was very interesting! He never assigned any homework in his class, and his tests were based off of his power points. He would also let us out early sometimes! Take him!!!

Prof Halama was a cool guy- nothing bad to say about his teaching. He makes dad jokes and kinda talks AT you during lectures but other than that he's a reasonable prof. Textbook not required and everything is based on his slides which he posts on his website so taking a lot of notes isn't terribly necessary.

Lectures lasted the whole hour and a half, be prepared for that. Professor is funny, likes what he does, offers extra credit, and replaces your lowest test grade with your highest. Wouldn't say just showing up for the lectures will get you that A, you have to study the slides to get it. Just an average class not super easy and not hard.

Comment:

He's very well educated and his lectures are interesting. Regardless, he seems a bit flustered at times. He makes jokes that sometimes don't land and it makes you want to defend him with your being. That's the type of professor he is. He isn't perfect, but you have a strange kind of large respect for him anyway

Great professor. Funny/relaxed. All lecture slides posted online to review for quiz/test or if absent. Quizzesmatching a term to definition. Tests: multiple choice/matching/true&false. Usually ended class 20 min early. Drops lowest exam if your final is higher (one of my tests was a C, still ended with an A). No HW. Easiest class I've ever taken.
