BMED 460 Senior Grade Earned: B Required (Major) 2:44 pm, Mar 18, 2012 Report Evaluation |
He's very intelligent and knows physiology very well. However, he's very arrogant at the same time and definitely not approachable for questions. I would recommend taking this class with someone else. | |

Trevor Cardinal. Where shall I begin? He is good and bad in so many different ways: good first. He is so knowledgeable about physiology. He won't give you an answer to a question that he is not sure about, if he doesn't know, he'll say so. He is married to the most bad ass instructor in the world so that increases his cool points. He thinks hard about how to answer your question. He is very proper and professional. Now the bad. He is arrogant in the sense that he makes you feel like his subordinate (which I guess you are but nobody should make you feel like that). He does not give praise, only criticizes. I felt like I was walking on egg shells the entire time I was in his lecture. I became afraid to ask him questions because I didn't know which questions would illicit an unnecessarily nasty response from him. He needs to be humbled and is lacking humility but is so incredibly intelligent and passionate about physiology that it almost makes up for it (key word almost). | |

ENGR 460 5th Year Senior Grade Earned: B Required (Major) 9:37 pm, May 28, 2011 Report Evaluation |
I graduated Poly last year, and took Trevor's class last year. What can I say- Trevor is a boss! A lot of my classmates bitched/complained about this class. Dude this is college- grab a book and read dumbass! Trevor's expectations are high, but that's how it should be. I learned a lot from this class. He's very approachable, and genuinely cares about his students. Trevor is the man! | |

I wouldn't say he sucks, but just that he's an average physiology teacher. Considering his PhD was in physiology and not engineering, I'm not really sure how he got hired with the BMED department. Just one more professor in the department that really isn't capable of much more than teaching one class competently. If they really want us to learn biology and physiology, there are whole departments with excellent professors dedicated to those topics. Just make those classes mandatory. | |

BIO 400 Senior Grade Earned: Credit Elective 3:04 am, May 10, 2011 Report Evaluation |
T-Card is a fantastic professor. He is very challenging and does not accept b.s. answers. Some people like to coast through college but if you actually like to be challenged and learn something (perhaps even get your moneys worth) then T-Card is the right professor for you. He is very engaging and helpful during office hours. Don't be fooled by the comment below, Dr. Cardinal is an amazing professor and you will learn a lot from any course you take with him. (Dr. Cardinal doesn't even teach Bio 111.....it's people like the person below me that ruins the purpose of polyratings and make amazing professors look bad.) Overall, if you want a professor that is challenging, thought-provoking, intelligent, helpful in office hours, and a former Cal Poly student himself, I would go with T-Card any day. | |

BIO 111 Freshman Grade Earned: A Required (Support) 10:32 pm, Apr 20, 2011 Report Evaluation |
This guy sucked. He wrote exactly what he said on the board word for word. He had such weak arms that you couldn't see his writing in chalk. Always tried to act like a hardass, but you could easily see that he was just insecure about being walked all over. Treats you like a kid. Repeats everything over and over. Oh, and his wife sucks too (She's not on polyratings yet so I'm writing that here). | |

T-Card knows his stuff, and you can tell he puts a lot of time into his lectures. He may not be the best at recognizing when students are having trouble, but he teaches the class in a way that encourages student engagement, i personally enjoyed the class and the lab was SWEET! overall T-Card is the man | |

I felt like I was back in high school in this class, the material wasn\'t entirely confusing. This guy goes out of his way to call you out in class, and just make things confusing by doing diagrams in barely able to see marker and making ridiculous subjective test questions. Overall lame lame class, unfortunately for BMED students it\'s a must. What made it even worse is the attitude you get from this guy and the pretentious kind of demeanor he has with his students, definitely not an engineering class but basically it\'s a follow up to Physiology 331/332, I don\'t know why the students just aren\'t required to take an additional physiology class with professors who don\'t waste your time with useless in-class activities and with a guy who clearly rather be doing research then teaching students. He could easily make the notes/diagrams into a neat PPT to put online for reference, but that would be to much I guess for the students, ugh, frustrating and terrible class compared to the rest of the major. | |
