Comment:
We met once a week which was typically very short (like 20 mins) as it's just for him to check up on everybody. He was very kind and understanding during the covid-19 pandemic and allowed you to do your assignments on your own time. His assignments were very clear and he made videos to explain further in detail. Would definitely recommend him!

Genetics was fun and I learned a lot. I studied hard but tests were not great. Study the Pogil questions! You work on these in class but study them too.

This professor is the best and is willing to go out of his way to help his fellow pupils. Expert in his field and knows what he is talking about. The thing is he is not gonna chase after you and ask if you need help. you have to show interest and be motivated that you want help. Ask questions and engage in discussions! exams are tough, but doable!

Comment:
This course relies heavily on discussions, basically we learned nothing. When we discuss about certain topics, his responses will be "it is possible". How can we learn if he keeps on saying "it is possible" thousands times. The lab activities don't really apply to what we learned in the laboratory.

Comment:
Worst teacher and Gallaudet history. He needs to just stay home with his family. I don't know why he's teaching, except that Gallaudet must be desperate. He has no idea what he's teaching. He always tells me "I don't know, it's my first time teaching this course" (referring to Anatomy and again for Genetics). Straight A students ended up struggling

THE WORST TEACHER IN BIOLOGY HISTORY!! WHY IS HE WORKING WHEN HE'S SAID IT SEVERAL TIMES "I'd rather be at home with my kids" he clearly doesn't want to be here so I suggest he do us ALL a favor and leave!! He has no idea what he's talking about. Even told the class "It's my first time teaching this course"! EVERYONE IS FAILING!!!!!!!

Comment:
I honestly have mixed feelings. His ASL is one of the best around, but sometimes wonder if he knows what he is talking about. I also question whether he follows curriculum or not. Could be a wonderful teacher to those who are majoring in science, but suggest most stay away from taking any biology class unless it's required for your major.

Comment:
He NEVER knows the answer to anything. When I asked why a part of the skull was so sensitive if hit (the temporal) he replied "I don't know". That's his favorite answer to any question that's not in the book "I don't know", "good question" you'd think an Anatomy teacher would know the answer to these kinds of questions. Ann Powell is MUCH better.

He likes to get down to the point. Funny sometimes. He has no personality, which can be a good thing sometimes. If you have learning disability, he is not recommended.

Very clear, very demanding, witty, and an expert in his field. Does his best to get your attention, and expects nothing less than exemplary work.
