Reviews of professor Mike Zeman

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Prof Zeman is a nice man. he cares a lot about his students. There are few extra credit opportunities but all grades are from weekly quizes and exams. I'm so glad the exams were online my semester because they were rough.

Zeman is an OK Professor. Nice guy, but he has somewhat of a lazy teaching style which can render boring. The class itself isn't too hard, but the material is very dense (like any other BIO class). Grades are only from quizzes (easy) and VERY DETAILED exams. Only take this class if you plan to be serious about it; it's not a simple "filler" course.

PPT is your best friend in this class. Remember them and do the exam. That's all.

I liked Zeman's class, whether that's because it was easy or because of him, I have no idea. Quizzes are basically free points and his in-person lectures are actually pretty good. Mike is obviously a nice guy and wants you to succeed in his class. Exams are quite difficult though, especially if they are in-person in the future.

I took this as a sci elective for my major. Very lecture heavy that it can be difficult to stay interested in if you don't like bio. Meets once a week for just over an hour and then three weekly video lectures with a (pretty easy) weekly quiz too. Exams are very specific so you can't just memorize the material, you have to learn and understand it.

Professor Zeman has pretty interesting lectures, but it is hard to find material to study; he does reuse some of his quiz questions and in-lecture questions on exams. The fourth exam was much harder than the other three exams even though it technically was not a final and not cumulative. He gives a few chances for extra credit which is nice.

He had decent lectures but they were sometimes so boring as it was just repeating the online lectures. The course was only graded on a few exams and a few small assignments, so once you mess up on one exam, its over for you. Try to take this course online with someone else if you have to take it.

Literally avoid this class at all cost the exams are 10 times harder than the study guides/lecture material that he barely teaches. This is really a do it yourself course and you better pray you have a strong study group. And your entire grade is basically exams. If you have to take this class good luck Charlie!

I took bio 141 as a gen ed class. It is very hard to keep up with, as the lectures have so much information and you don't have enough time ever to write or type everything down. Exams cover a lot of difficult material. If you don't need this class for your major specifically do not take it.
