Reviews of professor Christopher Groen

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I loved having Groen. Receiving an A isn't hard as long as you keep up. He offers tons of extra credit, and allows make-ups on exams. An assignment every few Fridays that he typically walks us through and leniently grades. He's very approachable and is always willing to help. He also answers his emails fairly quickly. Awesome professor, highly rec!

I've taken Groen for 241 before, and now i have him for my cell bio lab. He's been by far my favorite teacher, he's extremely understanding and doesn't dock the class points if something goes unexpected in experiments because he thinks learning is the most important part. He's very funny and friendly too and extremely helpful. 10/10

It was professor Groen's first time teaching this semester and I think he did pretty well. His instructions and grading criteria are clear, which I have found difficult with other professors. Professor Groen is very passionate about what he teaches which makes it easier to learn the material, he knows what he is talking about. He genuinely cares.

Although mostly taught through lecture there are moments during where he will find ways to have fun and engage students. I feel like I am able to have fun in his class while still learning everything I need to about the material.Truly a fantastic professor who I think should get a lot more credit at this school. I believe he just started full time.

LOVED THIS CLASS. Graded on the three tests (one dropped) and three (1 page max) writing assignments. has pre lecture question sets for extra credit. Very respectable guy works in cancer research and KNOWS what he's talking about. I did have to study a bit for the exams but if the class average was below 70% he let us do corrections. Nice guy

He is very helpful. His lecture notes are what will be seen on the exams. He does NOT throw information that he hasn't taught onto the exams. He loves answering questions you have even ones not related to class and will find information on that topic if he does not know it off the top of his head. Very knowledgeable and kind. Would take again.

Mr. Groen is amazing! my favorite teacher so far, he's great at responding to emails, answering questions, and always offers up to 25 points extra credit for simple stuff. he has a sense of humor and his lectures are pretty easy to understand if you pay attention. Attendance isn't mandatory but I recommend it. i took BIOL241
