Evaluation Comments for Landis R

  1. It is hard, because the first major project for this class is the only big lab report you write, which is challenging if you haven't had BIO 145 or a similar experience. But Landis is an amazing professor; labs can get a little boring sometimes, but he had a lot of enthusiasm for the and grades fairly. Go in and chat with him if you have any questions about the lab, and TA's have a lot of help sessions before the lab report is due - go to those! Be warned though; do not go with a Monday lab. They are usually still practicing different ideas out, and sometimes they don't get the pre-lab to you until the Friday before, and then you have to prepare for Monday. And it makes it hard to attend office hours/email about a question if you always begin labs over the weekend.
  2. Landis is great. He is friendly and always willing to help.
  3. Professor Landis is an all-around good guy that wants to help you understand and get a lot out of the class. His class lectures are straight-forward--he says what needs to be said and would rather have us working than listening to him talk. I like his dry sense of humor too. When choosing lab sections, I'd suggest this one.
  4. Professor Landis looks like he would be more comfortable out in nature rather than in the classroom which is where many of the classes are spent. Only one full lab report but all assignments must be done with care because he requires a high level of precision.
  5. Landis is a great professor. He makes all of the material interesting and the labs enjoyable. Be warned though: the prelab quizzes are deceptively hard and he is a very meticulous grader on reports.
  6. Professor Landis is a great guy. He is very orderly, knowledgeable, and fascinated by trees. The lab reports require a lot of tedious work and effort, but the all the labs are interesting. I definitely recommend Professor Landis because he is fair and a nice guy.
  7. Landis is great lab prof. He is friendly and approachable, not an easy grader, but a fair one, and he presents the material well.
