Reviews of professor Brian Pilcher

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
On the first day he quizzed us about himself, I knew I was in for one. His lectures are really boring and his quizzes are just recycled material. The group project is worth so many points. He's just very monotone for someone who relies on reading a powerpoint. Easy A if you actually show up. I never took notes.

Really nice guy, and an alright teacher. He knows his stuff really well, but his tests are really random material from the unit. Very lecture heavy. Class is based on a group assignment that has one written report with 6 parts and a video with the info from the paper. Easy if you get a good group. He does want his students to succeed.

The only interesting part of the class is when he invited guest speakers to discuss the subject. He is quite boring and monotone. He is more interested in English and grading grammatical errors than anything else. He doesn't follow his syllabus and it is not accurate at all.

He is a nice guy and knows what hes talking about. His lectures can be boring, but its an easy A and if you engage with him he is super smart and fun to learn from. Group essay and video is assigned at the beginning of class and is the biggest part of your grade. Every test is curved 10% and he lets you have a half sheet of notes. Easy science

I took Dr. Pilcher for lab and it was awful. He has great accolades, but is an atrocious teacher. He seemed to be working through the material with us for the first time, instead of already understanding it and how to teach it. He graded our paper so unnecessarily harshly and I learned nothing in his class.

He is a good guy, it as an easy class. but is exams are pretty freaking ridiculous. he does curve your grade on the tests. but he asks questions that are just out of nowhere. you do get a big note card for the tests of the reviews he does are basically exams themselves. overall hes a good guy, classes are pretty boring, but also pretty easy class.

Doesn't follow his syllabus at all! and throughout any random week will add new assignments at random times. Gives a lot of group work and even though he teaches Botany, he only acts as an English professor. This professor made his botany class a waste my semester and money.
