Great Professor! Would defiantly take it again. The course content is heavy but if you put in the effort and time you will receive good grades. Skip was awesome, he is very understanding.

Skip was an amazing Professor and really cares about his students. He takes the class very seriously but makes the class a fun learning environment. He is super fair with grading and when you need him he doesn't take long to reply back or book a meeting. Overall definitely would love to take another class from him and definitely recommend it.

Skip is really a great teacher. He is super caring and actually cares about the students and their mental health. Also has great stories to tell during class! He makes lectures fun and really breaks down difficult topics so they are easier to understand. 10/10 would recommend.

Skip is a very great professor. I've always hated Bio but Skip piqued my interest in Biology. Although he talks really fast most times, his lectures are so clear and interesting. We complained to him about him speaking fast and he said anytime he's doing that, we should signal with our hand and he's gonna understand. He answers question after class

I have never experienced a worse teacher than him. I am a first-year nursing student but I feel like I was in a fourth-year biology class. Biology 111 was the hardest class this year. Studying biology instead of nursing class drooped my nursing grades and I still failed Biology 111. I highly DO NOT RECOMMEND taking any of his classes.

Lectures were very informative but the random quizzes are brutal. The midterm and final exam as well, studied everything that was covered in lectures and watched YouTube videos on them, and still found the exams brutal. Got a good grade but it was very very difficult to do so.

Do not listen to the students who complained about his course. Yes of course its an incredibly challenging university course. However, he is more then willing to spend his free hours tutoring and assisting you with questions. He wants you to succeed and will go above and beyond any teacher in order to do this. Study hard and his class is worth it!
