Reviews of professor William Driscoll

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He is the worst professor I have ever had. This is the second school I have been at and he is by far the worst teacher. He rambles on and on and seems like he cares more about using big words and sounding smart than making the lecture material easier to understand. His quizzes are worded terribly. Avoid at all costs if you can.

Dr. Driscoll is a very nice professor, he wants us to gain valuable information from his class. He is understanding about questions on exams/quizzes that may have been worded badly and gives points back at times. I would recommend taking this class with him if you need a 400 level bio class.

Easiest Bio 400s are offered by him. There were only 2 papers (HW), 3 midterms, and 3 quizzes. He is fair and everything is from readings, lecture, ppt. Tests heavy on understanding rather than facts but he curves (not always). He is not a strict grader when it comes to HW. Make sure you attend all lectures and do discussion questions seriously!

He is a very humble professor that cares about his students. He does curve and take students' feedback very seriously. His class is not easy and he is very lecture-heavy. His PPT slides are not detailed enough to understand every concept so attend class and listen to his lectures if you want to do well. Exams are 15-20 questions for 60 mins.

I've taken Dr.Driscoll for a few classes, and he's great. He can be awkward at times, but he's really funny. He tends to ramble at times, so lectures can be hard to follow; however, classes aren't bad overall. There are several quizzes and three midterms which usually consist of quiz questions.

It was his first semester here 220w 2018 fall Easy class,I didn't fully pay attention We had 10 easy questions a week. 30 minutes Max. a lab report each week (short 1 page, 2 page with pictures) He wants students to pass so curved tests and gave back extra points. Must study for tests, not too hard but somewhat understand the concept.

I personally really enjoy his teaching style, but he can occasionally be hard to follow just because he isn't always eloquent in turning his thoughts into words. Quizes and tests were reasonable. When test questions were answered wrong by the majority of the class, he curved the test grades. Powerpoints are relatively detailed on their own.

No exams in this class. Only 5 quizzes, and two essays. He even held a class study session before the quizzes. When he talks, try to pay attention. He likes to go fast but he can ramble and go on and on about random subjects or interrupt class. Just show up, take notes, and read the important parts of the book.
