Comment:
Worst class Ive ever taken. Professor is sporadic, random, and has no notes to follow. Instead he lectures on random animals over a variety of random subjects within animal behavior. Tests are Blooms level 4-5 questions (look this up) and online. Questions are very specific, homogenous, and quite tricky. Do NOT take this as your Neuro elective.

His class can be a little boring but pay attention. He is nice but the font he uses may throw you off. His final test was very difficult so make sure you keep up with all the material he instructs you to read.

The largest part of your overall grade is the lab and the iclicker questions. Therefore GO TO CLASS TO GET ICLICKER CREDIT. The class isn't that difficult. The tests are group tests using the iclicker and are only worth about 10% of your grade. The lectures are pretty boring but he is a cool and easy bio professor. Just get iclicker points!!!

Dr. Jordan is an extremely intelligent person. That being said, his class is not an easy A. Go to class. You'll fail otherwise. Look at his PowerPoints online BEFORE class to get easy points for his daily iClicker quizzes. His tests use a typewriter font that's distracting. The final was HARD. But, he explains things well. He doesn't use the book.

Okay teacher. You should watch the powerpoints before class, thats where the iclicker points come from. Horrible group project that is not explained well. Read the chapters and watch the powerpoint and youll do fine.

Dr. Jordan is a good guy & his lectures aren't to bad. His final was ridiculous it was really hard and it was not formatted like any normal final, he wrote it in that 'type writer' font & trust me its sounds like no big deal but it throws you way off. But I will say he does help you out and gives buffers. I would take him again. Beware of the final

Comment:
This was a hybrid course, so it was beyond long of a lecture when we had to meet, and he just talks the whole time. He pops up with iClicker questions throughout the lecture - sometimes. One thing I really didn't like was that he was always posting things on Blackboard, but he never made it clear exactly what to do with some of the material.

dr. Craig is a nice man, his lectures aren't very good and won't help much with the clicker points, he gives a huge curve that is enough to raise you from a C to a A.

**Hybrid course** First semester he did this and I did not like it. Really nice man, interesting stories, but the way this class was structured is horrible. I don't feel like I've learned anything except how the earth was made and how ants mate. This class is easy if you get lucky by getting a smart group. Tests and quizzes through clicker w/group.

CLEAR ADVICE HERE: ABSOLUTELY DO NOT and i repeat DO NOT take this man if he is doing the hybrid course. Spends an hour talking about random stuff. On a 25 question iclicker TEST our class only got to do 11 bc he TALKED AFTER EVERY QUESTION. Take someone else or take it next semester.

Dr. Jordan is an amazing professor. He is extremely knowledgeable in his subject, brings front interesting stories that you will never hear before. Although his exams are extremely hard, he curves his exam 10-30 points. Attendance is somewhat important, because he does iClickers points. Final exam was done through iClicker, can work with peers.

Comment:
This class is easier than biosciences I, and is more interesting. Dr. Jordan is a knowledgeable person. You get a "cheat sheet" (SOS) for 2 tests. Does iClicker questions, 1 point for participation and 2 if you get it right. I hardly touched the book and learned a couple things. Curves are given on the test. I would definitely recommend him!

Professor Jordan is amazing! Really enjoyed his lectures. Go to every class since there are iClicker quizzes. Take good notes since that makes up most of the test. Barely used the textbook. Studied for his tests by looking over notes, online tests, & ppts. He gives a lot of curves. Final was a bit difficult but manageable as long as you study.

Comment:
Dr. Jordan is a great professor! He always had interesting stories to tell us in class. Make sure you go to class because attending class is the only way to get the material that will be on the tests. The textbook is pretty pointless. He is generous with curves because his exams are difficult. I hated Biosciences I but this class was fascinating!

Comment:
Knowledgable instructor, but relatively irrelevant course content if you're headed the med school route. This class covers mostly evolutionary theory (e.g., how ants and plants evolved together, human ancestry, bird migratory patterns, how the Earth formed). Book is not necessary. Attendance is mandatory, pay attention to lecture. Just endure class
