Pros: No homework
He gives iclicker quizzes so you can talk with people around you and get 100 on them, but his tests are so detailed. You need to understand everything in the book, on his power points, as well as what he says in class! Nice guy- but was turned off from biology because he is not enthusiastic AT ALL. It seems like he doesn't care about teaching. He simply gets in front of the class and reads from his slides in such a monotone voice you are tempted to fall asleep. Take with different teacher.

Pros: Quizes once a week.
Really cares about the students and them learning the material.
Posts slides online.
TA's are great and really help at tutoring.
Cons: VERY BORING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
His class is very boring but its hard not to like him though. He really truely cares about his students and really wants them to do good in the class. His tests are average. He simply tests you on the material. He does curve though. Just take advantage of TA study sessions because they generally save you for the tests. And if you can, try not to leave in the middle of the class (even though its ever so tempting) because he does notice and it hurts his feelings.
