Reviews of professor Gerard Beaudoin

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He's probably the best professor for this course. Just make sure to TAKE NOTES and be prepared for a quiz due before every lecture. His slides are usually just figures so focus on what he says. If you miss a class, they're recorded and make sure to watch it. Also, you will have to make up the in-class pollev questions to maintain your grade.

While the class is large and somewhat hard, it isnt something that you cannot prepare for. It is a college course and a STEM course- it isnt supposed to be easy. Study the prelectures, lectures, and do the readings and youll be ok.

This is a weed-out class, don't take it unless you have to. Tests are extremely difficult and you have to go to lectures to pass. Liked him as a person, but he's not always clear.

This bio class is the biggest class on Trinity's campus. There are in class participation questions but they're also graded too (which they did not make clear). There is also TONS of reading homework from the textbook but if you read the chapter summaries and take good notes in every class and go see the peer tutors you should be fine!

Dr. Beaudoin is a great professor. He really cares if you understand and he tries to get to know you if you put in the effort. BIO1311 is NOT easy nor are the tests. There is a lot of information and the lecture slides are not enough. You need to take notes on what he is saying. He is by far my favorite professor in the biology department.

Somewhat approachable. Difficult class.

I enjoyed Dr. Beaudoin's portion of the semester. He has a sort of strange sense of humor and because our class was so huge you could tell he was nervous during each lecture, but I thought his tests were fair and so were his expectations.

Overall, Beaudoin was an okay prof. Really knowledgeable and friendly outside of class. Sometimes during lectures he goes too fast especially since they want you to take handwritten notes. Overall, the class is going to be difficult but he tries to help by providing prelecture notes. Just read the textbook, listen in class, and study hard.
