Comment:
If you aren't looking for a challenge then DON'T TAKE THIS CLASS. Mr. Roberts is a nice guy but his lectures go on forever, and for the most part don't have anything to do with the tests. His tests are rough and the class average tends to be around 50. If you are willing to put in the effort then it is perfectly possible to pass.

If you are a slacker DONT take this course. If you want to come away with no learning and completely waste your time grumbling-ditto. Mr Roberts is very knowledgeable. Skip class be prepared to miss information. He can be corny but if you have a good sense of humor it will be a plus. Really felt like I got my $$ worth.

Your effort will definitely show on the tests. There is an extensive amount of worksheets you will be given/print(204 to be exact). I found that reading and asking for help during his office hours helped me succeed. During the units you will be given samplers which are take home quizzes, these account for 80% of the tests so make sure you know em'

First of all, he's been teaching since the 1900's so he is not use to technology so don't have it in class!!! He lectures like there is no tomorrow, but the lecture doesnt totally correspond with the test. Don't get the book because we dont use it. He crazy and try to laugh at his corny jokes because it might give you brownie points. He still crazy

HATED HIS CLASS!! Hardest class I have ever taken. His lectures give you little information and his tests are the worst. There are questions on the tests about topics that he never went over. He goes off topic too much and he makes too many jokes about completely unrelated topics. Unless if you are amazing at biology, or a miracle worker, skip it.

DO NOT TAKE HIM!!!! His class was super hard for me and all of the surrounding students I spoke to. His lectures are very unclear and hard to follow, and he has trouble explaining a lot of the material. His tests require you to read between the lines in order to find the answer, He is a great person, but would not recommend him as a professor.

DO NOT TAKE HIM. Just don't. If you do, be prepared for a thousand handouts that YOU have to print out and tests that are completely impossible and nothing like what he teaches. So confusing.

This class was a major challenge, but everyone does pretty bad so he curves the grades. His tests are very hard and he doesnt follow the book. He gives many handouts that you never use and there is always a good amount of homework. This course is a challenge regardless of who you take, but he is always there to help you. #AbesentMindedProfessor

Entertaining, but his class is very hard. His tests are borderline impossible and THE HANDOUTS! He give out so many handouts you will not even know what to do. There is also really no course calendar so it's really confusing. I'd recommend taking someone else for BIO

I loved Dr. Roberts' class. He is a great teacher, but be prepared for a challenge! Assigns a good deal of homework and gives a large quantity of study material each class, so DON'T SKIP. Not that you'd want to, lectures are very interesting, and he has a great sense of humor.

Lots of easy homework, but it was time consuming to have it almost every night. Tests were hard, but there weren't that many of them. End of semester project is big, so don't wait until the last minute. Very friendly and helpful, cares about if you know the material or not. But the class is NOT for slackers!

This is not an easy class. That being said, you CAN do well if you pay attention, take good notes and aren't shy about seeing him outside class. He is very knowledgable and one of the nicest teachers I've had. If you want a challenge and have an interest in physics and chemistry, then you will like this class. My only complaint is that I wish we could have done some labs to go along with what we were learning.

Dr.Roberts is a very smart man. He is from back in those days when people went to school because they loved to learn. He sometimes forgets that people are not as passoniate about science as he. but he will pass you if you work hard and COME TO CLASS. dirty jokes, off sub. stories and life lessons are frequent! he cares!! please take him for ISCI!!

Mr.Roberts is a fabulous teacher and dedicated to helping his students learn and understand. He is willing to meet outside of class hours in his office to help. I would recommend him anyday, but only if you are interested in learning. If you are looking for an easy out, no. He loves his field and wants you to LEARN!

Handouts, handout, and more handouts. Tests are extremely difficult. Answers to questions are only found on Google. Used the textbook for the last three weeks of class. Tests are multiple choice (guess). Science project and class material way above the limits of what is taught in Elementary schools. You will leave this class overwhelmed & confused

I think he wiped out the entire rainforest with the amount of handouts he gave out. Tests are ridiculously hard. Studied for 6 hours for the first test and made a C. We were 5 weeks behind in out class calendar so he gave out handouts over the last 7 chapters, didn't lecture over any of them and then gave a test over them. D

I think the only good things that I can say about him are his great sense of humor, generousity, smartiness and helpfulness. He'll lecture and you'll take notes and think his lectures will be on the tests. But, think again! They are not! Great man to be around with but not great man to be taking for a class (especially a science course).

Comment:
-He is: Generous. Understandable. Humorous. Knowledgeable.- Unclear on his WorkSheets. He seemed to pick random questions from teachers' sites and used them as his WS's questions/test questions. Hardly ever use the book. So : I GIVE UP. I'm glad I changed my MAJOR. BUT, his class is very challenging.
