Reviews of professor Matthew Parker

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Quite rude and hard tests. Literally only botany teacher at Troy so take the lab for organismal bio somewhere else bc ur GPA will drop. I had a 4.0 highschool and last semester but I never made higher than a 60 on his tests

Prof. Parker is actually one of my favorite teachers on this campus. Tests are easy and straight forward, class is not confusing and information is given clearly. A little weird sometimes, but very sweet and helpful.

He was such an amazing and kind professor! He went above and beyond to help me understand the material. Make sure to come to class though bc half my class barely showed up and some of them failed... 

He really cares and gives his best effort and he's also a very funny guy to talk to. If I were a bio major I would def love to take his class again!

Dr. Parker is a very understanding professor, but a little odd. He knows what he is talking about and you have to listen and take good notes. You can not give little effort and expect to pass the class. Study like your life depends on it in this course. This class is very dense, so it is not easy and he will not put up with laziness.

Parker is a bit weird, but he does his best to make class interesting. Attendance is a grade, and an important one at that, so if you want an A you have to show up. Final was unexpectedly hard but not overwhelming, if you did fine before it it should not mess up your final grade too much

Organismal Lab is hard. There is a lot of information to be taught in a short amount of time. There were 4 test (2 Zoology, 2 Botany)and 2 extra credit quizzes. Prof Parker is nice and will answer any questions you may have.

This class is easy peasy if you ACTUALLY study. He gave everyone in the class a free 20 extra bonus points and I came out of the class with a 105. I think this is considered a weeder course because people who dont study complain about it.
