This is the worst prof. I have ever had in my entire life. His courses are borderline incomprehensible due to a combination of unrelenting and stuttering speech that is too quick to begin to understand. 350 characters aren't enough to explain the complaints and failure to teach that this "prof." has succeeded to obtain. | |
courses are all over the place; very difficult to comprehend. Constantly talks without pauses, stutters, can be difficult to understand. Substitute prof. often teaches better. | |
Aloof prof., insensitive and unapproachable. Way too comfortable with his tenur. He is a terrible prof. I should have gotten an A- bio 101 is an simple fun topic- he is terrible. | |
Worst teacher I have ever had in my entire life. Impossible exams, even though you think you did fine, believe me, you didn't. Curved lab grades down. Made fun of students. I read the entire textbook 3 times and only got a B+. GET OUT WHILE YOU CAN. IN ALL SERIOUSNESS. I am ashamed that Geneseo employs this cruel man. | |
Never take this prof.. He is the worst prof. I have ever had. He will not answer your questions, even during his office hours. He is not interested in his students doing well. He is sadistic and intolerable. It's possible to get an A, but the headache of taking this class is not worth it. Shame on Geneseo for keeping Dr. Simon around. | |
He isn't that bad guys! Yeah the exams are difficult, but what do you expect its Bio. I'm below average intelligence, I didn't really do anything in this class other then study for the exams 2 or 3 days before hand and got a B- | |
How is he still a prof. at Geneseo? Never have I been so frustrated with a class in my life. | |
Save yourself the headache and stress. DO NOT TAKE SIMON. I have never worked so difficult to get mediocre grades for a class. Is very rude when asked questions and homework/exams have little pertinance to actual reading | |
Simon is the worst prof. i have ever had the displeasure to have. Not only is he a terrible teacher, he is condescending and not easily understood due to his terrible stutter. I would most definitely avoid this class at all costs. He has been living with microorganisms for too long and needs to reintegrate himself back into human society. | |
Simon teaches a non-majors bio class. Only issues he teaches it as if all the students were bio majors. Most of the students in the class could not care less about it. The exams ask applied questions many cannot answer. The MC is manageable but difficult. We use clickers in the class, daily tests. I got an A but had to study everyday. | |
Be prepared to teach yourself topics you don't quite understand from class. Condescending if you ask questions. Getting an A is still definitely doable. Just go to class and study for exams. | |
you can't even call this prof. a teacher. he talks down on you when you ask questions and going to his office hours doesn't help at all. courses seemed pointless but the only reason why i went was because of the prs questions and index cards for homework. seriously, DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. if you do, greatluck! |
