Reviews of professor Chris Kavanau

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Kavanau has 3 exams, 3 case studies, and 3 quizzes given before each exam as well as a final. His class is challenging, so make sure you pay attention and take notes. He has pizza-prep review sessions, but I don't think they help much. I wish there were other other options, but just try your best in his class and ask questions if confused.

Very good, very knowledgeable professor, infact im convinced this guy is a genius. Make sure to pay attention during lectures, every bit of information is important.

He is so sweet, the class is very lecture-based, he is just reading through and talking, he does review sessions that get you extra credit and narrows down what is on exams, three exams, one final not weighted morecase studiesand online quizzes to prepare for the exam. anatomy is difficult itself, but doable, his test is broad, all multiple choice

I took Dr. Kavanau for BIO 114 lab, and honestly I enjoyed the lab. He gives quizzes each week but drops the lowest one at the end of the semester, will assist you if you go to him for help, is very clear with his grading criteria, and he has very interesting stories from his time as a neurosurgeon. I really enjoyed him and would take him again.

Provides many study sessions to allow students to excel on exams. Easier class if you review your notes and pay attention during lectures. He also goes over the study guide in detail at the study sessions a week before the exam date. Good professor and very kind.

If you dont have to take this class, dont. His lectures are all about what you watch on your own time. His lectures consist of him answering questions about the slides that you have to study and take notes on for 6+ hours a week.

Dr K is the best teacher I think Ive ever had! Before each exam he has pizza study sessions and they really help prepare everyone! I would totally take other classes with him again if I can! He is also really easy to see during his office hours. He gives everyone notes for the class too. Totally awesome prof!!!!! :-)

He is (sadly) the only professor who teaches this course. He doesn't give clear answers to the blanks on his slides and he goes through the material too fast. His extra credit is even hard. He is not an efficient teacher AT ALL. I wish the school would do something about it.

He's very boring and monotone during lectures and just reads off the slides and doesn't engage with the class. However you can pass his class if you do well on the quizzes and case studies. His test are hard even if you study.
