Reviews of professor William Rockey

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
He seems like a nice enough guy but is clearly very nervous teaching. He mostly reads lecture notes word for word. He says the tests only have questions about what we go over in lecture and lab but that is simply not true there will be multiple questions on things that were either never mentioned at all or mentioned one time and never referred to.

Would not recommend him unless you are ready to teach yourself the material. Lectures are only ever him repeating what is in the book and lecture notes word for word. He will also include questions on quizzes and exams that he himself has never once brought up in lectures or lab. Be prepared to teach yourself the material if you take his class.

Professor Rockey is nice, but is a tough grader. He goes over the lecture quickly and does not go into great detail on the topics covered. He seems a bit unapproachable when asking questions. However, I still ask the professor questions either way.

Man I had a good biolB32 professor that took time on lectures but this class was way harder and the lectures were explained in ways I just couldn't understand.

Rate the Prof: nice guy BUT Rockey's education on LinkedIn says it all. Why is he teaching this? Lacks student support for HumanBiol understanding; References the book when asked a q', reads from lecture notes.. I'd go on but I can only type so much.Passed w/ 89%, no curve. Rely on study groups & read. RN majors do not take his class.

He is terrible and has no place being a professor in this world. He is very indirect answering questions and leaves you more confused when he gives you a bland answer to your question. He gives you no valuable information when you ask him something and all he does is read off of the lecture notes in his quiet boring monotone voice. Very bad prof

If he is your professor, make sure you study over 20 hrs. a week for just this class due to the majority of it is teaching yourself. A lot of his lectures are straight from the book word for word & he doesn't clarify what he is teaching. Go to tutoring if you don't understand something! Otherwise, if you ask him, he just tells you to read the book.

Has no idea how to teach. Ive had so many good teachers at BC who actually want you to succeed and he does not. He does the very bare minimum. Lectures are just him reading word for word out of the lecture notes for an hour.  No elaboration. Labs are just group assignments that are never even graded so you never know if your answers are correct.
