This man sucks. Worse course coordinator ever. If you expect to learn, buckle up cause your in for a long haul. Not only does he want you to fail, he wants you to know it. He truly could care less for your success. None of the class makes sense with Lab and nothing is taught anymore. Be prepared to sit on your ass and shut up doing nothing!!

Kerry is the course coordinator for Bio151/12/153. He is super awesome and knowledgable. Go to his office hours. He wants students to succeed and will go out of his way to explain difficult concepts. He made the transition to online very easy and cut us a lot of slack. Awesome dude 10/10.

Great course coordinator. He is an extremely good teacher who loves helping students that come to office hours. Quite funny too. However, this course is designed for the majority of students to get a B. To get anything other than that is quite arduous and takes a lot of "elbow grease", but it can be done.

DON'T TAKE THIS CLASS IF YOU HAVE A CHOICE. The actual material is not hard; however, this class has a hidden agenda to just make it really hard. Take Bio 101 if you have the choice. What's hard is the extra stuff they make you do - 10 pages lab reports every week, discussion homework, lecture essays, etc. Worth a lot more time than 5 credits.
