Reviews of professor David Stock

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Prof. Stock is incapable of providing simple explanations of the genetics concepts that he teaches - and given that this was a 2000-level intro genetics class, he should. Inaccessibility and lack of examples for practical application (ie, case studies) resulted in every student I've talked to hating the class. Worst EBIO prof/class I've had.

He is one of those professors who is just ridiculously smart. Honestly, he is super caring and makes himself available outside of class but cannot dumb things down. This class is test-heavy, but he always adds a curve and has ec at the end because the questions are hard.  Feels like a UD class, you literally have to write down every word he says.

David Stock is a sweetheart and is clearly very knowledgeable. However, the issue is that he does not relay the information properly. He will discuss one thing for 45 minutes and you leave the lectures more confused than you were before. In my three years at this school, I have never struggled so much in a level 2000 class.
Don't take this class.

Horrible. David Stock is the most boring and dry professor I've ever had. His lectures are hard to understand and non-informative. Power-points had little to no text and led to further confusion. Unable to clearly explain simple concepts and would skip to case studies. Challenging exams and often had no idea what to expect on them.

I took EBIO 2070 in Spring 2022. I don't know if it's the fact that y'all are lazy ungrateful brats or what, but people talked so much crap about him. Yes, he was dry, but despite the overt disrespect from all 144 students in the lecture, he was kind, caring, accessible, and knowledgeable when approached. Shut up, take notes, study, and prosper.

The lectures are long and the slides are mostly useless. He expects students to write down everything to pass exams, but talks too fast for anyone to be able to do so. You can rewatch lectures online, but even then the exams are designed to trick students into picking wrong answers. Tests are not designed to gauge a students understanding.

Dr. Stock is very knowledgeable in his areas of study, especially with fish genetics, but his lecture style combined with disorganized slides & testing style made this class way more boring and difficult than it needed to be. His slides were very bare bones and you had to write down his lecture speech verbatim because that was the test material.
