Dr. Coleman does not make this class difficult, he clearly wants to pass everyone. You get to talk a lot of plants home at the end of the semester including high quality tomatoes that I'm really thankful for. The only thing I disliked was going to his tissue culture lab, which was a bummer. I wanted to enjoy it because it was cool, but I unfortunately found it to be a really uncomfortable experience with it being so hot in there, you had to stand most of the time because there wasn't enough chairs, and it was really claustrophobic.

Terrible teacher. I took this as a gen ed, yet the class was unbearably difficult. The average of the first exam was a low D... and still there was no curve. The second exam was just as difficult. He literally expects you to have photographic memory remembering the smallest detail from the notes and then writing an essay on it. For example, a caption for a picture. I had a high B considering I got the highest grade on the second exam in the class and then average on the first. I was so sure on getting an A but he did not even bother to curve. He really doesn't care about his student's grades. You grade is based of 2 exams and 2 assignments. There were even plant science majors taking this class as an elective that did poorly. His lectures are extremely dry and he basically just reads of slides. I highly do not recommend this guy.
