Reviews of professor Eric Diestler

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
I took him at LIU Post for honors Bio lab. Bad reviews are correct. He is nice and helpful in class (slightly condescending), but won't answer emails promptly. Gives insane amounts of work like it is nothing, will stress you out horribly. Slides (lecture or lab) have little info - take notes on what he says. Not bad if you get him, but try to avoid

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!! his lectures suck and his powerpoints barely give any info. What he went over in class was not asked on the tests at all. I just took the final and he was asking questions that we didnt even learn in class. When you ask a question he never knows the answer and never gets back to you either. He is just a bad professor.

took him last semester. was tough in the beginning but by the end of the semester he gave out a lot of points to help boost everyone's grades. assignments were easy, lab you just needed to memorize the diagrams and as long as you came to class and read the chapters the tests were fair. you need to put in a lot of effort to get a good grade.

DO NOT.. listen to the other reviews. I had him for my first semester as a freshman and honestly was so nervous because of all the bad reviews and wanted to drop. So glad I did not choose to do that! His lectures are informational, and he keeps them interesting and funny. Tests are not bad! Just study and read! Would take again!

I try hard in his class. But his tests are really hard! You have to scan each word of each question option before picking your answer. His lecture is just reading the slides. He also does not answer questions properly that the students ask in lecture. He needs to take it easy on his students, this is an intro bio course for freshman, geez.

Awful professor. Don't take his class. I try so hard in his class study for weeks before the test and still end up with 75's. He doesn't answer his email about any questions you have. Reads off of the slides and doesn't answer question a student has fully... if you want to pass bio take any other professor besides him

Please avoid this professor! his exams are super hard and his wording on questions is so bad. you can study as much as you want but see an okay outcome.

He is extremely vague with his teaching style. His powerpoints have barley any information and when you ask him a question he doesn't know it. You are graded on very few things and his wording on exams makes it difficult. Going to class feels useless because you could easily just read the textbook since he doesn't provide anything informative.
