Reviews of professor Matthew Parker

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Dr. Parker is a great professor! Your grades will be comprised of 5 tests. The tests can be tough if you don't listen to his PowerPoint lectures, but if you do you'll do great. You won't find the answers on Google but his lectures are very entertaining and cover the basics of Biology very well. Also not having to pay for a textbook is a huge plus.

Mr. Parker is someone not everyone will love. He is different and gets frustrated quite quickly. However, the labs are straightforward, and he will help you if you ask. Everything is pretty straightforward; he explains it nicely. Make sure you follow the instructions for the lab you're doing, and you'll be perfectly fine.

Hes a really weird professor but probably one of my favorite classes Ive taken so far. You only take a midterm and a final. Also all of the lectures are on power points and they are available outside class.

Mr. Parker is a little weird but super sweet and very helpful.

Great professor, but the dude is weird as sh*t. If you don't show up you will not pass. You will pass his midterm and final if you study the power points he puts online.

He's an interesting person to say the least. Personality aside, his BIO Lab is extremely easy. Just show up and don't be late. If you study for 5 minutes a night or watch the powerpoints before class at the very least, you will pass with ease. Not a difficult class in the slightest. Just do the work and study the minimum. It should be an easy lab A

Good class BUT hes very condescending. Always yelling, getting frustrated with people & tries to make students look stupid all the time. Hurts my heart to watch him embarrass others

I took Mr. Parker for both the botany lecture and lab, and he was a fine teacher. He makes a point to emphasize things that will be on the test in his lecture. He can be a bit abrasive, but his class is totally fine.

He gives extra credit quizzes two times, worth 10 points each. The tests consist of him showing a powerpoint and you write down either the name of the organism or label a structure. You do not have to come in person unless you want to.
Very easy, willing to work with you to makeup a test if you miss it.

I just didn't like him. He was always swearing (even F-bombs. and I know we're adults, but still, is it necessary?) in class, was super strict about rules to the point of failing students for a mistake, overshared about his personal life, and I never actually learned anything. Instead of explaining he would take over or expect us to figure it out.
