He's not that horrible as a professor. Yes, his material is a little dry, but he can't help it. It's biological psychology for goodness sakes. He tries to make the material more interesting by showing videos in class. He might look a little intimidating at first, but if you actually talk to the guy, he's a gentle man. The tests are pretty straight forward from the textbook and the TAs try their best to provide with a lot of review material for the tests. Basically, if you read the book, you can do well in this class.
