Reviews of professor Steve Schenk

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He uses hw to give a preview of the lessons, provides written answers at the end of the week. He also has an open-door policy and responds quickly to emails, even on weekends.  Exams are cumulative and tough, but he provides term banks to help. Repeats vital information often. Makes sure students understand material, not just regurgitate facts.

Save yourself. This is the hardest class Ive ever taken without a doubt. Ive never seen a teacher base an overall grade on 3 test. If you fail one test you already drop like 3 letter grades. How is that fair. Ive heard that every other bio teacher doesnt grade like that at all. Wish I could go back in time and choose a different teacher.

Schenk is an amazing teacher. He really cares about the students passing. He is a tough teacher though. His tests are fill in the blank, but I think it is a good opportunity to learn instead of guessing on multiple choice. Not a lot of homework. If you actually want to learn, take schenk. His lab is pretty easy.100% suggest lecture and lab with him

Prof. Schenk is a really passionate professor. His lectures are incredibly relevant and even entertaining. You need to show up, and he does have outside participation points that are mandatory, so be prepared to work for your grades. There's not a lot of homework, but the tests are pretty difficult. They're fill in the blank AND cumulative.

I absolutely loved being in Schenks class. The way in which he taught allowed me to clearly understand the topics being discussed in class. Also in regards to test they must be completed in person and is not an multiple choice type of test. You will be timed and once the buzzer sounds you will go on to the next station until completing the test.
