Reviews of professor Joshua Osborn

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He has high expectations and is very picky when grading labs and projects. If you do the reading, ask questions, and follow rubrics, you will be fine. This is not an "Easy A" class.

Idk why this dude has so many bad reviews. Was my first in person class at FTCC and was a really chill experience. The class is mostly memorization based instead of applying real life applications. He does pop quizzes so beware of that. But overall, a really good professor and is definitely willing to work with students. He's pretty funny too.

Very considerate and willing to work with students if you email him about any issues. He's definitely one of the better professors at this college. 

It's definitely a hard class that requires alot of studying and commitment.

Mr O has a huge heart and loves teaching. With that being said i feel as though he shuts his eyes and randomly points to areas in our book to ask questions. his tests are very hard to figure out how he asks questions and doesnt give help when you ask for more specific guidance. Other than that he made himself very availble to reteach some material

Mr O is a very nice person, easy to talk to. He is tough on grading labs. Tests are a bit random so it is hard to study for them, but if you do your homework and turn in your labs, you should do okay. (I took this as a 100% online class)

Mr. Osborn is a great teacher to have if you're ready to learn. He loves what he does and his teaching reflects that. His tests are difficult, study guides are not provided, lab quizzes can be easier than tests but this is not an easy A class. You will need to put the time and effort into studying and asking lots of questions.

Mr. Osborn is very knowledgeable and kind to his students. He has considerable experience in the field of biology which allowed him to help with lab problems quickly. However, he didn't provide any sort of lectures or collaborate sessions to help students learn the material. In his class, I basically taught myself the material using Khan academy.

Inconsistent grader. Hard to get ahold of (had to send multiple emails for the same issue). Allowed students to make up work towards the end of the semester to raise their grade but didn't give extra credit for those of us that did all of our work on time. Semester project format was never even taught in class. He is not involved with students.

He was a very nice person and it was obvious he loves what he does, but this was not an easy class. His test are hard, it is hard to figure out because of how he words his questions and you aren't sure what to study even though he gives out something similar to a study guide but it wasn't helpful and would rather email than talk in person for help
