Reviews of professor Ryan Blower

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Amazing Professor! He wants you to pass. As someone who has never been good at or into BIO, he sure does make it easy to not fail. He does jeopardy, practice exams, and extra credit! You have to WANT to fail. Do the homework, labs, mylabs, dynamic study modules, and get at least a 50 on all exams and you should pass with nothing lower than a C!

I have never been a fan of biology, but taking Professor Blower in the spring of 2023 changed my mind. He is the best professor I've ever had if you want to pass all you do is show up and do the homework. He is very helpful and fun. I made so many friends and had great memories. I will be taking him for Bio 102 summer of 2023. TAKE HIMMMMMMMMMMMM!!

Professor Blower was very chill. He grades very easily. Labs and Pearson Mastering biology are worth a lot. Tests aren't worth much and don't impact your grade tremendously. Attendance is mandatory. Accepts late work. I'll be taking him again for Bio 102!

Distance learning. Excessive work. Weekly homework, in depth, and usually very long. 4 exams, very difficult, what he says to study is usually useless. Prof changed how the class was graded during finals week, his mistake, and did not inform class, so the syllabus was wrong and we could not asses our grade. Many labs were very long and detailed.

Great teacher, had him for this semester and his class was very very easy. His exams are literally his test review and jeopardy. Very friendly guy. But there are lots of homework but you can still skim through it with ease.

Lectures are all pre-recorded and can be long-winded (up to 2 hours). Relatively hands-off during labs, but will answer questions to the best of his ability online and offline. Study using the practice exams and jeopardy and you should be fine. Generous with curving exam scores. Frustrating if you need structure, easy A otherwise.

A textbook was needed but not used. I used pearson for homework and a top hat for labs. Took points off labs for no reason and did not give an explanation for why. Tests are hard, but they did not teach. Literally cancelled every class.

Professor Blower is a wonderful professor, very forgiving and tests have clear study guides through practice exams. Do them, and its a guaranteed A. He has fun labs and curves tests so even if you don't do well, it wont damage your grade too badly. He is very quick to respond to emails and all late assignments can still be turned in for 80% credit.
