Reviews of professor Brent Stoffer

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Stoffer is a Good bio professor, TAKE HIS CLASS, theres four exams and a final, go to SI and you will do good on the exams. There are daily quizes you take at home that are weighted the same as exams so do well on those and you will keep a good grade even with lower exam gardes. He actually seems to care and alwasy willing to help. 1081/1082!!!

Stoffer is good overall, but you need to actually read & keep up with the work to do well. If you just do the weekly McGraw assignment without actually reading the textbook, you're setting yourself up for a lot of last-minute late study sessions before exams. Speaking from experience. He's a truly caring individual, his lectures are just boring.

You'll never see Stoffer, class will be run by a TA. Almost everything is based on group projects. You're assigned your group the first day of class and stay with them the whole semester. You hardly ever need the digital lab manual & nothing you do on it is graded. My recommendation is split the cost with your group and buy one for the whole group.

Very understanding and helpful if you ever have any questions or concerns. The format of the course makes sense and the content isn't very difficult. Sometimes it feels like assignments are just busywork.

Please take Dr. Stoffer. He has amazing lectures, and if you are interested by biology at all you'll love this class. Always do the pre-lecture material well and treat class as a review. Participate in his lectures and use a whiteboard to study for exams. Exams are not difficult at all. Make sure to always go to his lectures.

The classes are carried out by TAs. You will be in a group. At least one person in your group should have the textbook. Participation matters in your group. You may need to work outside of class with your group. Some of the papers can be long, so split the parts up. As long as you focus in class and do the work, you will be good for this class.

He never responds to your emails and is incredibly hard to reach no matter the circumstances. He hasn't replied to 4 of my emails about my grading.

Don't buy the digital lab manual, you don't need it. All the info needed from it was usually given by a TA or a quick google search. Pre-lab quizzes/videos were sometimes pointless but they were easy, & exams/lab reports were pretty simple. How you're graded is reliant on the TA you have, so make sure what you submit is up to their standard.

I loved him as my professor for bio 2. He was so kind and passionate to his students. Most importantly he is very good at teaching the material. I would 100% take another course of his. He is the opposite of kinkle and I promise you will do good in this class.
