Reviews of professor Gary Vanderlaan

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Vanderlaan gets very off topic and has poor time management skills to the point that he was teaching new material on test days. When you go to his office hours to ask for help, he is blatantly disrespectful and demeaning to students. People would rather lose points on an assignment that has to go to his office hours.

This professor is known to help women more than men and flirt with them easy a in his class if you are female just go to his office after hours.

Dr. Vanderlaan is a great dude. You can tell he puts in lots of effort behind the scenes of class. He bought a GoPro just to help his students during COVID-19. He is committed to microbiology and his students.

No one should ever have to pay to take such a terrible teacher

Great person, extremely knowledgeable too! Sometimes he gives more information than you need and so you're not really sure what is and isn't on the practical exams. Makes good study guides though and is really helpful in lab. A little particular about his lab but nothing too bad.

Dr. V is very very smart at what he teaches but sometimes tough when communicating the material as he would often go on tangents and present material that wasn't necessarily relevant. The first practical was very hard but after that you will get the hang of them. Definitely study his reviews and SGs as they are the basis for his practicals.

You must study constantly!! Similar to gross anatomy you are given a ton of information but all the exams questions are fair and can be found in the power points. Study the boardwork and study guides and you will do great. He also offered lots of extra credit.
