He's a really good Professor and knows his stuff very well! If you need help though ask him in class to go over things, not very accessible outside of class. Gives good feedback on grades and will go over it with you at the end of class. Study for the tests! They can be tricky if you didn't actually learn the subject matter.

James's teaching mainly consists of long lectures. He rarely engages his students while teaching so it's very easy to become disengaged. His class is all about memorization and not learning. He gives many quizzes tests and hard plant ID assignments. This class creates a stressful environment which makes it very hard to learn.

i was intimidated by dr horn but he truly wants everyone to do well. he bumps the homework up because its online, drops 2 lowest quizzes, curves exams and offers weekly review sessions. he even would meet with me 1 on 1. its a hard class but if you stick past exam 1&2 you will be ok! canvas shows a lower grade than what you have. ONLY TAKE HORN

Don't take this class unless you love plants. The class is 90% outside, just learning scientific names of plants. You have a quiz every week, they're not hard but tedious. His lecture style is super jumpy and hard to follow. Not hard to pass, but you will get super annoyed with him.

he was very chaotic in his teaching, took forever to grade anything. He did end up making things take home because of hurricanes and what not but he was NOT a great lecturer. Very hard to follow along and if you asked him a simple ?? he would give you a 10 minute answer that didnt answer your OG question... not a good prof if you like structure.

Genetics is a really hard class in general and Dr. Horn does mean well and he's a very nice guy but his class is pretty tough. The exams are long and tedious and he takes FOREVER to grade anything which means you usually have no idea what your grade in the class actually is. Also, he assigns a lot of online homework.
