Literally one of the easiest classes i've ever taken at Cal Poly.
Take it online with McCabe for an easy A.
If you're a science major and actually need to understand this stuff, you probably shouldn't take this class.
He was such an understanding and nice teacher! Quizzes are given out every week but you have 3 days to take it. Also you can take it 3 times & hew takes the best score! It's super easy, you can either guess,look it up online or in the lectures. If you missed one of the online quizzes he gives out every week just email him and provide a reasonable reason he will put it up again and let you take it! There are 3 exams, unlike the quizzes you only get one attempt. However it's not that hard either just make sure you look over his lectures. After everything I got a 89.2 for my final grade. So I emailed him asking if I can get it rounded to an A-. He took in consideration that I improved a lot in my exams and ended up giving me an A-!!!
All answers are found on the PPTs or online
Koofers has a lot of the exam test bank
He gets back fast if you e-mail him with questions
You absolutely do NOT need the book, (if you want an older version is fine)
Exams are online and you can do them with friends
You have plenty of time to finish weekly quizzes and exams
Super easy A
You learn something if you want to
the PPTs are explanatory and helpful
Cons: Nothing really
If you fail this class its because you missed a quiz or did not use the PPTs he posts online.
You can simply "Ctrl F" all ppts for all quizzes and exams.
Grade: A
If your major does not need biology, just take the online class!
Worth it, no need to buy textbook
Cons: Nothing much
He says you need the textbook but you don't you can just look at "resources" for answers. I am a computer science student and since our major does not need bio, so why do i need to put the effort to learn it. Really worth taking each week theres a quiz, 3 exams (theyre like midterms) you do it and your good to go. My friend(s) forgot to do their exams you BETTER remember or it's on you. Grade Received: A
I took the class online on Fall 2013. There were a quiz every week on each chapter. The quiz is not hard and you have three attempts, he would count the highest score out of three attempts. There were three or four exams.. i kind of forget. some of the exam questions are similiar to the ones on the quiz. Also, there are two discussion board questions which you need to read an article he posted, and amswer two critical questions from him, and you need to reply other students answer then you would get the full points. Overall. this is a super esay A class.
Super Easy
Alright so I am NOT a friend of science at all, in fact I have been dreading having to take Biology for GE for 2 years. I saw an Online class and thought what the heck. I am so glad that I did!!! Easiest 3 Units you will ever get. Theres about 8 quizzes, and you get three chances and he keeps your highest score. Theres 3 tests (only get one chance) and 2 discussion board assignments (took me 20 min). Do NOT buy the book, it will be a total waste. I did not read, did not study, or anything like that and I got a B (I forgot one assignment). Google is your best friend in this class, that is all I used. Spent 10 min a week for this class.
Cons: none!
I had this class in Fall 2011. It was cool. There were no class meetings what-so-ever. We had 3 chances to take each quiz (each 10 questions, time limit 10 mins) but you could basically google everything. The powerpoints were kind of boring even though he had his voice recorded so you can listen to him while you take notes off the slides. All in all, easy class. For the exams get some friends from either your lab or activity and take the exam together, people would do that all the time and get good grades. He also posts study guides for the exam which you can split up with friends as well.
NOTE: when taking the quizzes write down the questions and the answers, he uses some of the questions on the exam.
No use of text book
Very understanding professor
Cons: quizzes every week.
This class was overall very easy. I never used the text book so don't even bother buying it if you are taking the lecture online. Online, you have three tries on each quiz and all the answers are given to you during the slideshows if you really pay attention.
ideal for people with busy schedules
quiz once a week. an exam every...3? i think
Don't buy the book :) he provides power points with the info already on blackboard, and thats what he bases his quizzes/exams off from.
He's also really understanding. If you accidentally miss a date to take the exam or discussion board assignment online, email him. And If he sees you've been a good student keeping up with good grades in his class for the quarter so far, He'll let you take it still on a separate day. (actually happened)- just don't take advantage of it.
Make your life easier by finding friends in the same class and do the quizzes/exams with them. :)
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
if you want an easy online class, take him! don't buy the textbook. I never used it and still got a higher grade than a lot of my other classmates.
If you are going to take BIO online you have to have McCabe. You do not need to buy the book...I didn't and based off of the point system that he uses, I can't get below a B...and that's without taking the final. Take notes on the powerpoints he posts and use them for your quizzes and you will be just fine in the class!! SO easy!!
Easy.
Easy to contact for help.
Cons: Information is not retained, but most don't care about that.
This class is so easy. There is a quiz every week except when there is an exam. Because it is an online class, you can have the notes open along with google, so they are pretty easy. There are always a few questions that weren't on the notes, but because you can take the quizzed 3 times, it is easy to get 100%. But always try and take the tests with other people in the class if you can.
