Reviews of professor David Stock

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Personally, very boring class for an interesting subject. If you study hard for the exams and use outside learning sources you can easily get an A. Extremely lecture heavy, the lecture slides contain very minimal information that will eventually show up on the exam. He tests on material that he speaks about in class, but is not on the slides.

Actual worst professor I have had during my college years. He cannot teach the class without copying notes straight from his paper in hand, he answers your questions with more questions, and his tests are directly related to the homework but the homework isn't even comparable to what he teaches in class. Do not take this professor!

David Stock is a researcher who tries to teach. Half of his lectures are studies which he won't test you on, but will say something super important NOT in the lecture slides and expect you to know that part. The tests and quizzes have almost the exact same answers for each question with a one word difference. HORRIBLE CLASS HORRIBLE TEACHER.

Professor Stock is clearly knowledgeable about genetics. His lectures are a little dry but as long as you pay attention and take good notes, you have nothing to worry about. Always curved the tests and offered 5% extra credit on our entire grade for a paper due at the end of the year! Go to class, take notes, and you will be fine in his class.

He's very supportive and willing to work with you on the material.

Had him for EBIO 2070. Dr. Stock is unremarkable, but the material is both difficult and really interesting. I really liked this class, but I definitely wouldn't recommend taking it unless you're genuinely really interested in genetics.

While Professor Stock is extremely knowledgeable in his field, I would have to caution students considering his class to consider if they do well with learning straight from lectures, recitation, and a rough outline of what the course material is. No textbook, very test and lecture heavy. For the way I learn, this class was not good for me.

Stock is very knowledgeable I'm sure, however, he is not a good professor. Exams and quizzes are designed to force students to write down everything he says in lecture, word-for-word. Exam averages were barely passing. The slides were not helpful whatsoever. Seems like you need to know genetics for this supposed "introductory" course.

Professor stock does not know how to teach genetics. He has the worst least instructive manner of lecturing. Would never take this class ever again.
