 Our physiology class was exclusively online this semester because of COVID-19. I felt Dr. Sweeney could have spent more time learning how to use the online software. Classes were always disorganized and the audio was terrible. I didn't get a lot from the course. It's sad because alot of this content will be on my MCAT and I feel unprepared now.

 Organizationally the class could be improved a lot. More clarity could be provided about the group learning assignments too.

 I didn't learn anything from his physiology course honestly. Real waste of everyone's time.

 Terrence's biology classes are very disorganized and the lecture power points are very unclear. Prepare to read the textbook a lot because that's the only way you'll learn anything in his courses.

 Dr. Sweeney is the chair of the biology department at The University of Scranton. He teaches most of the physiology courses at the school. Dr. Sweeney makes the foreign exchange students really uncomfortable (especially the Middle Eastern female students). Every class he tells the girls how he would like to drive out to Utah, marry all of them, move into a cabin, and live a polygamy lifestyle in the mountains there. Sometimes during lab he pulls his cell phone out and shows them pictures of cabins for sale in Utah and asks if they would like to live there with him. He says he always dreamed of having multiple wives, particularly from Saudi Arabi or Iran, that could cook his meals, clean his bikes, and give him post-postprandial stomach massages. Many of these students don't speak English well so I don't think they fully comprehend what he is communicating. His behavior is highly inappropriate and strange! I want to report him really bad but I have an anxiety disorder and the proposition of doing that creates too much stress for me. Consequently I'm just writing about it on Uloop so at least the truth is out there in some form.

 Hard to learn when the teacher spends half the class complaining that his contract is "unfair." He apparently makes 125K a year so I don't know what he's whining about. Get focused Terry and put the students first for once.

 Dr. Sweeney makes inappropriate jokes about the Middle Eastern foreign exchange students. I'm reporting him to the Office of Cultural Diversity. This is a big bowl of wrong!!!
