Reviews of professor Bob Kalpin

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Kalpin is highly organized and cares about his students' success. His Canvas course consists of all the lectures, notes, and slides you'll need for the entire quarter. There are 10 lab reports, 10 quizzes, and 3 exams. Quiz and exam questions are straightforward and come from his course material.

Requires all of your time. 60% of our grade is literally your exams. It seems discouraging to ask him questions. Do not take his class. This is my last class before finishing my prerequisites and I regret taking him.

I've taken BIO40A/B (signed up for C next quarter) with Professor Kalpin. He's a good lecturer, and I appreciate that he's straightforward and reasonable. His quizzes and tests are very fair, and he prepares you well for them.  Weekly group projects can be a little tedious to coordinate. Overall, absolutely recommend for A&P!

TAKE HIS CLASS !! Kalpin cares so much about his students and really wants you to succeed. Bio40 is not an easy subject but he makes it doable. 3 exams total.  Watch the lecture videos, skim through the textbook, study the study guide questions and you're golden. As long as you put in the work, you will definitely pass with the grade you want.

I wish I could of taken another teacher, he so mean and strict, tough grader, he is not a happy person, and takes his anger out on his students.

Don't listen to the good reviews. By far the rudest professor I've come across. He seems like he doesn't even want to be there.

Professor Kalpin does most of his lectures in videos online with class time being used to review, answer questions, and have hands-on experience with anatomical structures. Be prepared to do lots of self-studying for tests, but the tests are straight-forward and come straight from the videos or textbook, with a small portion being from the labs.
