The best undergraduate instructor I had during my time at Trent. Inspiring and genuinely interested in student's topics for reports and essays. Learned a great deal from his lectures and made you want to read up on supplemental material. Inspired my decision to major in biology and conservation. Exceptional.

Amazing. Simply amazing. You need to be intelligent to get his sense of humour, so that may be why some people didn't think he was funny, but he is hilarious, and very passionate about his work. He loves what he does and it shows. His soft voice is awesome. On of my favourite professors hands down.

BORING, too slow, sure it is interesting but he doesn't mark anything, just lets the hard-ass ta's do it. won't get a good mark if you take this one, expect a 70-75 at the most.

I wouldn't say he's all good. Very old fashioned, boring slides, monotone voice, he is smart, but intimidating at the same time, comments on papers are horrible because there are none!

All the good stuff written here is true. And it's not only his breadth of knowledge but the quiet passion that just resonates from Prof Berril that keeps us enthralled. Makes biology feel alive. Encourages THINKING!!! A true original and a great orator, scientist and person. Trust me, take one of his courses!

I loved listening to Dr. Berrill. He has such passion regarding this topic. He's very knowledgeable about this topic and has even written a book. I suggest do you not only take this class, but read the book as well.

Said to me that he really doesn't care about deadlines, more of what you are thinking through essays , what you learn. Enthusiasm for the material was obvious, so you liked it too!

Great guy. Great teacher. He told me: I know I let you get away with a lot, but it's only because I like the way you think. He supports students who are original, even when the rest of the department is giving them a hard time. This guy's a role model
