Reviews of professor Brian Rooney

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He has really boring lectures and he reads directly off the slides (which he posts) so you can skip lecture but you don't want to miss his clicker quizzes. They're relatively easy so no sweat there. His tests are also solely based off of his slides and I found them fair! Definitely fairer than BIO 114 with Armstrong. Overall a nice professor

Reads directly off slides in a monotone voice and posts them so as long as you can keep track of the intervals in which he does clicker quizzes you don't have to attend class. If you ask him a question he won't know the answer majority of the time so save your breath and google it. Wasn't very knowledgable on this subject

Dr. Rooney is a personable professor who wants us to succeed. The material is difficult, and you MUST put in work outside of class, but it is doable. He provides all of the necessary tools to do well. The curriculum is interesting and I learned a lot of important information for my future.

brian makes anatomy and physiology manageable. His lecture slides are super detailed so if you miss a class or two you be be okay, but you cant skip every class or you will fail. His office hours are really helpful and he always makes the time to explain confusing concepts. he is a great professor.

Dr. Rooney gives you the information you need to know either in the powerpoints or he says it during the lecture. This is my second class with him and I like him as a professor. There are lecture quizzes, lecture exams, lab quizzes, and lab practicals. The lab practicals and lecture exams are difficult and you need to study a lot but it is doable.

This was the lab portion of the class and not the lecture portion. Professor Rooney is great because he will tell you what diagrams to know like the back of your hand. However, there were instances where he did not tell us which ones to study until the weekly quiz was only a few days away. Solid choice.

The class should be curved. Professor Rooney is extremely intelligent and his powerpoints give you everything you need to do well on the test. It requires A LOT of studying. However, the lab can be a GPA killer. I had a horrible teacher for lab and since the class isn't curved, it can really do harm to your overall grade and that's what ruined mine

Monotone, but doesn't do much other than read directly off the slides, so a good professor to take this with if you don't wanna pay attention in class. Is sort of approachable in person but is anywhere from plain unhelpful to honestly pretty mean via email so if you have questions direct them to a TA or to another professor. All-around mediocre.
