Comment:

I had him for the last third of the semester and he is a very good lecturer, and makes the lectures very interesting! His slides have little information on them so pay really close attention to what he is saying (slides are posted so you can look back at them later). The final was reasonable if you pay close attention to what he says during lecture

Mark is a fun prof to listen to when giving lectures. He does his best to make learning fun, but he reads off PowerPoints that give you little to no information. You need to listen to everything he's saying or you're screwed. He also talks fast which makes it hard to write things down.

Comment:

Mark is an amazing lecturer, always making class interesting and relatable. He is also super funny and uses great examples. However, he is super difficult to take notes from as his slides are all pictures. As a result, you will need to read the textbook extensively in order to do well on his tests, which are difficult.

His labs are crazy for this class and his papers are even worse. Do not take any class with him unless you're ready to suck up to him to get a good mark. He is horrible.

Would not recommend. Old fashioned- does everything through email (no Urcourses). Horrible marking- everything has to match word for word what he has on his marking guide or else you get a zero. Ruthless when marking. Horrible feedback that tears down confidence. Do not take a class from him.

Comment:

His lectures are always easy to follow, but taking notes can be difficult. He goes about everything from a philosophical, big picture point of view, which definitely made the course harder, but also more interesting. Overall I enjoyed his class and did very well, but I can see why others wouldn't like him.

He is a very knowledgeable professor, however, he reads from his powerpoint notes and follows up with examples from his personal experience. His portion of the class was more difficult, but study hard and you will pass. There is a story behind why he wears eye catching shirts every lecture.

Comment:

Dr. Brigham is very knowledgable in the section he teaches of biol 100. His power points are a bit confusing but it is helpful that he posts them online. You really have to pay attention and show up to lecture because most of the information you need to memorize is what he just says to the class. His multiple choice on the final were super easy.

Awful compared to Weger. Their teaching styles are completely different which made the final exam extremely challenging. Very specific and trick questions on exams. Go to class and study an excessive amount or avoid this prof if you can!

I enjoyed his lectures. I liked that he always tried to connect what we were learning to real life things. When writing notes take the main information from the class do not get tangled up in the examples and graphs. Main point listen to lectures and really study for your midtermfinals.

Brigham was super passionate about biology, and ESPECIALLY birdsbats, however, he could go really far off topic, and you sometimes weren't sure what you should be writing down. Be prepared for lots of notes, because he speaks really fast!.

Really unspecific in his lectures; was tested on stuff he briefly mentioned during class, but took longer for stuff that was actually not tested on. Gave too much unnecessary information that did not pertain to the lecture subject at all. Not as good as Dr. Weger; do not reccommend.

Definitely nowhere near as good as Weger. Just read the evolution chapter in the textbook and you will be fine though. Shouldn't follow after Weger because they have such different teaching styles

Horrible compared to wegar, left so much info out, if you missed a class you were screwed! P.S if you don't have to take 100 DON'T take 140 or 150 instead

made the information interesting and fun, you do have to go to class and take extra notes to go with his slides but he will always say the important things numerous times so you have multiple chances to write them down, highly recommend this prof!

Comment:

Brigham was terrible in comparision to Weger who taught the first half of the course. His test questions were ridiculous! I got a good mark in the course but only because I studied really hard. He was unorganized and confusing. His slides were okay for studying but you have to write down pages of extra content which is hard cuz he talks fast.

Alright prof, but tough marker and tough exam questions. I liked the slides but couldn't keep up with writing down everything he was saying. Overall, a mediocre experience.
