Reviews of professor Brett Pasch

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Very kind and knowledgeable man, has a very soft voice so you'll need to sit up front to hear clearly. Attendance isn't mandatory, but powerpoints are a jumble, need to go to class to get info as they are mainly pictures. Exams are aren't bad if went to lecture and studied, which I didn't do much. Lab practicals are hard and require a lot of study

Awful, unorganized lectures. No book was assigned to help those who use books. Speaks very soft and quiet. Does not update grades until after finals and expects you to calculate it yourself. I wish there was another BIO 223 professor because I need to retake, but I do not want to take Bret again.

Extremely interesting class, lab is very challenging. Brett is passionate, experienced, knowledgeable, very kind, and I found all of the lectures fascinating. Has a lot of guest lecturers (one brought in rattlesnakes to see!) Take if you're interested at all, be ready to study. Tests are reasonable, no attendance, 1 field trip. Would take again!!

If you're not taking this class for love of evolution, science, animals etc. you probably won't pass. I find this class absolutely fascinating and I love it, but the tests and lab are quite challenging. That being said both Brett and Ruby(lab) are so willing and eager to help, and so easy to approach. Help is available, but you have to do the work!
