Professor Herrick reminded me of my grandfather. He made lectures fun and would tell funny, crazy stories that helped you to remember the information better. It's bad if you miss his lectures because they have a lot of info in them. Overall though is was a good class that I really enjoyed. Unfortunately, this is his last semester teaching BIO 280.

Good

Prof. Herrick's class was tough but he is a good prof. Exams are solely based on lecture slides and comments made in lecture. However, exams aren't difficult because any small detail is fair game and T/F questions are very specific. It's a pretty cool class but take good notes!

Awesome

Professor Herrick is one of the best that I had at James Madison University. He's passionate about the subject and really makes sure you understand everything. The exams are based on lectures, so you need to go to class, even if attendance is not mandatory. And even if they aren't offering Biology 280 anymore, I think that he's teaching Biology 245 in the spring. I suggest you take this class with him.
