Is the course easy?

Is this professor recommended?
Two of three reviews strongly warn against him, especially online, despite one glowing in-person note.

Course format
Classroom format
Low confidence · Best fit for Beginner Friendly
The single in-person review praises engaging lectures, humor, and caring energy for a first-year student.
Main concern
Only one positive data point, so confidence is low.
What students said
“First prof I ever took at OCC and by far the best I had in my first year. He really tries to engage everyone and joke around.”
Remote format
Medium confidence · Best fit for Self Taught Pro
Online students call the class excessive, poorly graded, and poorly supported, with one reporting grade retaliation after complaints.
Main concern
Unresponsive communication and grading that may not match the syllabus.
What students said
“This is not one of them, find a different class this class is so extra for no reason just take something else”
“Dropped w A+ because he was unresponsive to emails for 2 weeks at a time, graded incorrectly - made up different rules when he graded than in rubric or syllabus .”
Exam style
Exam evidence is sparse and conflicting, with quiz accuracy issues online and little detail in person.
Assessment risk
Varies
40/100
Low score means less forgiving assessment conditions.
In-person review does not clearly describe exams or proctoring.
Online comments mention quizzes with wrong answers and heavy paper requirements; no clear proctoring details.
“Cannot spell, quiz questions had blatantly wrong answers, doesn't know basic biology terms.”
