Comment:
A political partisan hack posing as a professor. Aside from assisting student athletes in cheating - he was also punished for sexual misconduct with a grad student. One of many in the Bio department who feel their personal opinions matter more than what they teach to the point where Wolfe will even add political questions on tests.

Comment:
Dr. Wolfe is not the professor for you. Do NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. He constantly picks on or embarrasses his students in front of the class. If you have any form of religion he will embarrass you for believing in a higher power. He is constantly says he has nothing against religion though. His tests are hardly have anything to due with the material.

Cool guy, very funny, good teacher overall. Better with the whole class than he is one on one. Wasn't really helpful going over stuff on a day I had to miss. Best thing I learned: know your Rock N Roll history folks! I got bonus points for identify Paul McCartney from a pic of a left handed bass. Also, study your notes! Would recommend

Dr. Wolfe is a great biology professor, even at 8:00 AM. This is a class I actually enjoyed attending, and I'm a history major! Class is entertaining, and he has impeccable tastes in music. Though he claims he has nothing against religion, this is clearly not true, as he spends a lot of time bashing religion and students who defend their religion.

Comment:
He was nice enough but he loves to make his students feel stupid. There were always atleast 15 questions that I was unsure about because he will ask you literally anything that was stated in class even if it has nothing to do with class. He wasn't horrible, but he def wasn't the best.

Comment:
He is so RUDE. Also, he will not help you at all. I emailed him to see if I could make an appointment to see what I missed on my test and he straight up told me he didn't have time for that. Umm, I'm sorry but I'm paying you to teach me so you better make time. DO NOT TAKE HIM. Don't even get me started on his tests.

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS! You think the material is so easy you psych yourself out. The clickers that he requires for class are ridiculous and a complete waste of money. They're $50 or $38 used and all he uses them for are attendance points when he could just take a little effort and do it the old fashioned way.

Overall, the lectures can be very interesting BUT his test are on another level. The material that you go over seems so simple but he asks random stupid questions on test that you would expect him to ask. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND HIM. seriously. He is a great person but would never take anything with him.

Comment:
He is very enthusiastic about biology, but when he gets really excited he doesn't make any sense. He starts speaking in half sentences and you have to wait for him to collect his thoughts. He likes to embarrass athletes (probably teased as a child). The other day he made one guy show his nipple to the class. It was very uncomfortable for everyone.

I loved this class. Dr. Wolfe does a great job keeping everyones attention and making it interesting. I would suggest going to EVERY class. I missed only 2 classes and my grade suffered because, like others on here have said, he asks very random questions on his tests. But overall, it was a great class and I learned a lot.

Comment:
The class is interesting, but be prepared to have your GPA suffer in result. Test questions are confusing and at least 15 irrelevant. Example: "Whose birthday is it today?" or "Where was I on July 4th?" Really? Who is going to know that? I missed mainly those. This is coming from someone who went to class EVERYDAY and has a 3.6 GPA. So good luck.

Comment:
Dr. Wolfe's class was interesting; however I would not reccommend taking him. His tests do not accurately reflect what you learn in class and he is not willing to help you understand the material. After many emails and multiple attempts to meet with him I finally gave up. He is also very opinionated and close minded.

I struggled in this class, but not for lack of studying. His tests are very random. He is very obsessed with Bruce Springsteen. I hated this class, & I am very glad to be done. To Wolfe, who I know is reading these ratings, I can say that I learned nothing except that your niece is some rising movie star, & that you've been to many countries.

Great professor. Three test, all of which are multible choice. No attendence policy but you get "clicker points" for attending which is equal to an assignment grade and also some random test questions on what happened in class. Random assignments but nothing difficult or takes more then 5 minutes. I usually hate liberals but he was pretty cool.

I do not recommend Dr. Wolfe for his FYE class. If he doesnt like you he will refuse to help you in anyway. I got on his bad side and asked for help but he pretty much "gave me the finger" and told me too bad...DO NOT TAKE HIM FOR FYE!!!!!!

Professor Wolfe is good when it comes to his lectures and he seems to love what he does. Unfortunately if you have any religious background, (Christianity in particular)he will make it a point to talk trash about it. Unless you enjoy being an "evolutionary disciple", I suggest taking another professor in order to not constantly be attacked in class

He's a pretty good teacher when it comes to evolution and ecology. His tests were directly from his notes. The only grades in the class were three tests so you have little room to mess up. He does give "stuff" points but they hardly do anything for you. Just give him something Springsteen has touched and you're sure to get an A.
