Good teacher, but generally difficult subject. Is really willing to help and keeps class fun. Offers extra credit, but still study!
He is the best. Clear, fun and helpful.
Overall was motivated to teach unfortunately i was not motivated to study. still got a B though so i can't complain
This class was fun and informative. If you study a lot and show up you will get an A; however, be sure to do his study guides. He keeps the material fresh, and I didn't mind staring at him for a few hours. Many opportunities for extra credit, too.
All lectures come off powerpoint. No reports to do in Labs. Exams are easy, if you just use his study guides, which help a lot. Offers extra credit to help grade. Not only a good professor, but an all round cool person. Highly recommended.
Dr. C does go through material fast but is fair in testing and grading
Absolutely cool professor! Makes it easier to learn. Great personality. Very knowledgable. Offers extra credit to improve grade. Highly recommend!!! He is a sweetheart.
Seems to care if you learn the material. Straightforeward. Nice guy. Like the lectures. He posts all of the lecture notes, making it easier to listen in class instead of taking notes the whole time. Highly recommended.
Dr. C is the best science professor I have had. He is very knowledgable about the subject matter, and actually cares if you understand the material or not. He lectures from the book and tests from only material covered. I would highly recommend you take a class from him. You'll enjoy it.
Great teacher, although Physio is a very difficult class. He tries to make learning fun, presents organized PowerPoint lectures, posts all lectures to the web, offers extra credit, and genuinely cares about student performance. Recommend taking this class with minimal units and reading carefully!
Dr. Cheroske is a great teacher. He makes the class interesting, he cracks jokes & his exams are fair (There aren't any surprises). All of his notes are posted online and he has objective questions available to help you study for the exams. He actually wants you to understand the subject matter!
He is clear, prepared, and interested in teaching.
dr. c is a great teacher. he is always ready and willing to help if you dont understand something, the notes are posted online, and he tests straight from the notes and objectives he gives you. very fair tests/grading and he offers extra cred. makes lectures and labs fun but expect to work for an A.
He's great!
I took Dr.C for both Anatomy and Physiology. This guy is almost too perfect. Great personality, makes two rather dull,serious subjects entertaining. Hes a very reasonable grader, grades tests and answers E-Mails quickly, offers extra credit and hes never degrading when approched for help. Great guy.
Considering the class is somewhat difficult, Dr. C was excellent. He is a nice guy, great sense of humor, explains subjects very clearly in a style everyone can understand
The class was very tough and while he was an excellent teacher and went through the material with you, the tests were a problem. He is very picky and will take numerous points off of a question that has the right answer but not the BEST answer. His questions are also pretty unclear as to what he wants to know. Great teacher, fun class, HARD class.
Lots of experience and a jovial manner, but powerpoint is the bane of modern education. Perhaps a powerpoint presentation with just the major terms, relying on the students own ability to take notes, rather than blindly copying lecture notes off of a screen.
I think he might be a little too smart but was nonetheless a very good professor. He speaks clearly and makes a fairly hard subject much easier to understand. He has a good sense of humor and is always willing to help. I really enjoyed his class and would take another class with him.
He is the best teacher. Take his clases.
Nice sense of humor and clear expectations.
He is a good teacher. If you study you can get a good grade. He does not give you a tricky questions in test.( It is a good news!).
I enjoyed his class because he makes the material so easy especially taking this class over the summer. It's great that he remembers his students.
it was a good class and it is a really good thing that he remembers all the name of his students.the lecture notes on the webct also helps.
It was very informative class with dedicative teacher.
Great professor! You do have to study, but notes on webCT are great guideline. Put the time in and you can do well. He is a great guy and he makes the class fun!
Awesome teacher...Science courses can be tough, but he everything very clear and knows his stuff! He always offers help to his students and I found him to be approachable for all of my questions. The class is a lot of work, but his notes are great and helped out a lot.
Dr. Cheroske is the best professor that I have ever had. He is very clear and very knowledgable in the subject. He is very helpful and very easy to understand.
He is such a great teacher. He takes the time to actually get to know his students and will help you any time you ask. He shows you funny ways to memorize things and is very knowledgeable of the subject. Lecture notes and grades are put up on WebCt. The exams are tough but if you study you will do fine. If you have the opportunity, take him!
he makes the class so much easier by putting up the notes and the exam objectives online so you know exactly what exam is going to be on and also so you can listen to what hes saying during lecture instead of writting the whole time.
If you have a choice, absolutely take this teacher. He is a blessing to that department.
Dr. C is a really good teacher.
He's a great teacher and cute too!
Very friendly and easy to talk to, and yes cute, but I'm not looking for a boyfriend here. BIG negative: very excessive notes to study before exam, and study objectives do not narrow test subject matter down. POSITIVE side, extra credit and class participation points.
You get to check out dead bodies and a good looking teacher. Why wouldn't you want to take the class?
Gives good lecture. Who would have thought that it could be fun to listen to a professor!?! His class isn't easy nor is it impossible.
Dr. C is a great professor. He has a fun and casual teaching style that is condusive to learning. Notes and study guides are available for print out. Tests are very fair.
This definitely can be a difficult class, but there's alot of resources to help you: lecture notes, study guides, office hours and lots of extra credit. He doesn't leave you in limbo at exam time and is pretty clear about what's on it. He's a natural at teaching and easy to understand. With some effort there's no reason that you can't get an 'A'.
Alot of material to learn, but Dr C is always willing to help. Lecture notes are available beforehand so you can listen to him and not have to worry about writing everything down. Very approachable in person or via email. He posts alot of very helpful charts etc on webct. Great choice. I learned alot!!
Made the class very interesting and easy to understand!
TWO THUMBS UP, WAY UP!!! Excellent class. Exceptional professor. Dr C makes learning loads of material FUN. He is a natural, extremely knowledgeable, very approachable and always willing to help students anyway he can. Grade is directly proportional to amount of study time so an A is definitely achievable. Extra credit opportunities are available.
Dr.C is awesome! A lot of material to learn but he gives good analogies and helpful hints for remebering a lot of it. Dr. C's got a great personality and made the class very enjoyable. Buy the Home Lab Book -it's cheap and very useful.
interesting, good jokes and funnny
Dr. Cheroske is a fantastic professor who is passionate about teaching and cares about his students. I would definately recommend him as a teacher.
While there is a lot of material covered in the class, the material is very organized, there is plenty of classtime and Dr.C is always available for help.
Dr. C is a fun teacher that relates well to his students. He helps you to understand difficult subjects without dumbing down the material. He is a very patient instructor.
There's your chili pepper Dr. C! An incredible teacher who really cares about his students! The material is difficult, but an A is attainable if you work hard. He provides study guides, diagrams, ex credit, and he's always willing to help. He's a very down to earth, easy going and cool guy. His class is fun and you will learn alot! Thanx Dr. C!
Dr. C is a caring and passionate teacher. His exams are very challenging and much outside work is needed to excel. My request is to have exams from two chapters instead of four to avoid craming large volumes of information in a 3 week timeframe. Retention would be greater and the total weight of tests spread out to ensure greater comprehension.
Dr. C is a great teacher! He explains everything very well and is always there to help you. He's definately the professor to take for Anatomy.
Dr. Cheroske is a great professor to take for anatomy. He gives an objective list for each exam so you know what you should be focusing on. He explains the lectures very well and is very easy to approach with questions. Overall, he is a very down to earth professor that I would recommend to everyone.
Dr.C is a great teacher. He's really helpful, understanding, & fair! He's also really funny & can relate to the younger students.
Take him if you can. He's a very fun and a dynamic professor which is very important for science courses. He's really easy to talk to and to ask questions. More importantly, you will learn a lot of good science information from him. HE'S HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO TAKE! I WISH THAT I CAN TAKE MORE OF HIS CLASSES.
easy to listen to, and you will learn alot, but need to be willing to put the effort into the class
pretty decent teacher, gives whats gonna be on the tests,and you need to put lots of time into the class to do well. i mean lots!!!!
Excellent instructor, always available for help,supplies lecture notes to download,funny, and keeps your interest in during boring stuff. Very pro student, wants to see you do well, but you are expected to study for the material is quite heavy.
I really enjoyed him as a teacher and recommend him highly!
Excellent teacher, very understandable in his lectures. Tests are difficult, lots of studying involved and you will do well. He does give extra credit, which helps!
This class is only hard because the subject is hard and he wants you to know it, but his tests are fair. He lectures very effectively and helps you understand what your doing in lab. I took this class twice, my fault for not studying enough, but I stuck with him because overall he is a great teacher. Tip: Do extra credit and study!! Stay in Lab!!
dr c is an amazing teacher. he is always willing to help and readily available to answer questions. but dont expect to sail through the class- you need to study in order to do well. he also offers extra credit.
Dr. C was the best teacher that I've ever hard at Moorpark College. He cares about the students and wants you to understand the material. Its not an easy class by any means, but he is always available by email/in his office for questions. TAKE DR. C!
No Comments
totally great professor. knows his material and makes class fun and interesting. very helpful and would definitely recommend!!
Best teacher I have had at any college! He is the most helpful and understanding teacher! Study hard, you'll do well!
Excellent teacher! Dr. C explains the material clearly, and the class outline is fair and straightfoward. All this and the good doctor is HOT too!
Can't say enough good things about him. Always willing to help. Great with communications. Material is not the easiest, but he makes it easier to relate to. A teacher that still care, what more could you ask for?
Great personality. A lot of material but made it somewhat bare-able
material was kind of hard but structured it well and made class kind of fun to go to. also very helpful and gives extra credit
I highly recommend taking a course with this instructor. Very nice, funny, entertaining, and clear. The exams are not super hard, but studying for them is a must. Offers extra credit!
Great teacher, I really enjoyed the class.
GREAT professor, I loved this class, took the online version, and it's great, you just have to be extra disciplined.
Awsome Teacher!!!
He was very good and made the class enjoyable even though their was a lot of information to learn!
I had Dr. C for anatomy and physiology, both not exactly easy classes but he made it a very enjoyable experience!!! He really cares about his students doing well and is and extremely easy teacher to get along with. I would honestly say he is one of the best teachers I have ever had in my entire college career. He's cute too:)
Dr. C is a fantastic professor. He is extremely helpful and wants his students to succeed.
i think that Mr. Cheroske is an awesome teacher and would take him again. i loved the class and learned alot from him! thank you Dr. C!!
the class itself is not hard but studying is a must. the class is very interesting. notes are all available on the internet. field trips too..brings you back to your childhood days! Great guy fun class. He really knows what he is talking about. Very intelligent! Thanks Dr. C.
I took this class as on on-line class. He lectured live with power-point slides that you could look at/listen to later. He was extremely easy to get a hold of, and very helpful. It is a great way to take a class. You still have to study though, and need discipline to stay on top of things. Thanks Dr. C. LV
Interesting class. The hardest part was the multiple choice tests had a lot of "a and b" or all of the above" options. Good teacher
Great class, great teacher.
He made this challenging course easy to comprehend & fun at the same time. He's a really nice & fair teacher!
DR. C IS AMAZING WITH HIS STUDENTS. HE ACTUALLY MAKES YOU WANT TO COME TO CLASS AND GET INTO ANATOMY.. HE'S PASSIONATE ABOUT HIS JOB AND IT SHOWS. HES PRO-STUDENT AND WILL ALWAYS GIVE YOU THE EXTRA HELP YOU NEED! LOTS OF EXTRA CREDIT OPPERTUNITIES TO BOOST YOUR GRADE AS WELL... JUST MAKE SURE TO COME TO CLASS ON TIME ;)
Great guy... was always willing to meet if you had any kind of problem with a grade or otherwise. Easy to get along with. The class itself is pretty tough, but there's no way to make physiology is easy. Thanks Dr. C!
Best teacher you will ever have! the class is not easy but which class would be when you have to memorize everything in the body? Willing to help, Dr.C has all his lecture notes posted on line and uses web ct to post grades so you get them sooner than later! Most informative teacher ive ever had!
he is a good teacher, very fair, the class is hard but he does what he can to help. Really good at answering questions, but the class is not easy!
Great guy. Is moving out of area & will teach online physio in fall, not formal classroom class. He is a great professor. I really learned a ton of useful info. Thanks Dr. C
He is the best teacher that I have ever seen in my life.
This class was over the Internet but we still received a lot of attention. Dr. Cheroske is always there to help. His lectures and notes were very easy to follow and always interesting. Tests were taken from the notes and very fair.
He's good.
This class is difficult, but he makes it as easy as it can possibly get. He is very helpful and even has a blog set up for students to help eachother out. Overall, I was lucky to take this class with him. This is by no means an easy class, so you really have to work hard, but it helps a lot when you have a good teacher. One of the best.
unlike most online classes, this class was very challenging and required a lot of time. but because the professor was good with his email, classes were archieved and class blog was used. it worked out fine for me, after a figured out that this class is NOT A WALK IN THE PARK.
He's a good teacher. The material is not easy but he tries to explain as clearly as possible. Encourages questions, and covers what's important. Make sure you do the reading, do the labs, dont fall behind, and you'll do fine. He's verryyy prompt with e-mails so ask as many questions as possible.
very helpful with the students
Professor Cheroske is a fabulous teacher! He's very easy to understand, his tests are fair, he is always willing to help you out with anything and he tries to make the class fun and interesting. I highly recomend him for Any class!!
This class was great because it was online. Tough though.
If you have to take this class...you can't go wrong with this professor. The only worry is that online science classes are not always accepted by the school you are trying to transfer to.
Dr. C is very clear in both his class notes and presentation. He has made this big subject seem manageable to me. I feel it was very well paced and appropriately challenging. I feel I learnt a lot with hard work, but not too much stress and frustration. Great class.
Great class loved being able to listen to archive lecture when I wanted or even twice. Dr C is very accessible to his students even if he is living in Arizona. Its not easy but you come out learning a lot.
Took online physiology with Dr. C. Bottomline, I couldn't ask for anything more in terms of overall teaching clarity, fairness, and communication. He wasn't even in the state, yet I feel as if I've learned far more than other professors I've taken in person. Posts his online lectures as archives, so you can listen to them over and over. Recommended
On-line course - lectures were well presented and course requirements were clear. Would definitely take another class from this prof.
This was not an easy online class but Dr. C explained it very well. Lectures, coarse study and Lab assignment are clearly outlined. He grades fairly and so helpful with any information you need, he's very understanding, too. The only thing is we never got the chance to see him personally. You just e-mail him or post your comments in his blog. I highly recommend anyone to take this class, it's very straight foward. You can review lectures archive as much as you can. Dr. C give extra credits, participation points are earn by posting on Dr. C's physiology blog. If you are looking for an easy "A", this is not a class for you. Interested to learn and do the work...definitely, the class I highly recommend.
The online course is fast paced, which is not for everyone. Lots of material to cover-we studied the entire book! Cleary defined objectives, syllabus, grading, etc. No surprises. Dr. C is very organized but the only disadvantage was not seeing him live. Accessible to email but may have had to wait a couple days.
Great online physio class! i loved the how the lectures were archived; and you could listen to them again and again to understand them more. This was a difficult class and requires a lot of effort. Dr. C was always helpful. He'll answer all your questions. He did a great job in trying to make us understand things better. He's also very funny.
Dr. C is a great professor whose lectures are delivered online. The content is explained in great detail and the fact tha you can listen to them at any time makes it even better.Anyone who has to take physiology should take him...he is also very helpful if you need extra explanation on a certain area. This guy knows his stuff!!!!
Very difficult class.
Online class, definitely not for everyone! Lectures should be LIVE, not archived. It is much more helpful to be able to ask questions as they come up, not a week later! You will not have great access to this professor, as he lives in another state. It is obvious that this class is not a top priority to him.
VERY DIFFICULT CLASS. Test questions were extremely complicated and sometimes confusing. I have never had any problem doing well in an online class until I took this one.
Took this teacher for online class. He seemed very organized and always got back very quickly with any questions. It was a little hard becuase we had essay questions only on the midterm and final, so we had to remember all of the information for a long time. Cummulative final, but not too much stuff on final from rest of semester.
Great teacher, but the tests were on the hard side. If you don't know whats going on your going to fail. But, he gives extra credit at the end of the semester.
VERY HARD TO LISTEN TO OLD LECTURES - NO CONNECTION TO CLASS - COULDN'T CLAIFY INFORMATION AS NEEDED - FELT TEST QUESTIONS WERE NOT A GOOD REFLECTION OF LECTURE MATERIAL - LABS WERE MISERABLE - OFFICE HOURS HELPED
Difficult class, Lectures should be live to feel better connected in the class. Office hours were helpful. Test questions didn't seem to follow lecture or study guide.
Often dificult to get a hold of because there is no phone number to call him.
HE IS THE BEST ONLINE. HE GET'S BACK TO YOU WITHE IN ONE HOUER OR THE SAME DAY ON LINE. YOU DONT HAVE TO WAIT TO LONG FOR HIS REPLAY.
Good teacher but the tests were extremely hard. Don't try to wing the tests...it won't work unless you're a doctor or are in the medical field.
Good class took it online
Ridiculous test questions. Dont know where he pulled some of these from because it wasnt from the book or the online notes. Very difficult class. Work hard and you might pull a C.
I would recommend this class to those who are disciplined and self motivated and want to save gas money if this is your only class. Do expect to invest some time -10-15 hours per week minimum.
Taking 6 week online physio is like trying to drink from a fire hose. Can it be done? You bet. The good: listen to lecture when you want as they are all pre recorded. The bad: Test ?'s often tricky or abscure to actual material presented. Overall, great for the "get her done" overachievers the class was packed w/. Learned loads!
All around good teacher. Really knows his stuff. Even though it is an online course you really need to study to stay on top.
I just think you should be a little more clear on what they need to focus on in class. I think students will do good if they study the objective he gives. He is a good Professor and prompt in replying. Exams are really hard.
This is a tough class but Dr. C makes it so interesting. He is so caring about every student. He wants you to pass!! Would take his classes over and over again!
Dr. C is great! This online class is hard. A few problems with accessing lectures and can't ask questions right when you have them. I would love to take a class with Dr. C in person, but I wouldn't take another 6 week online class, too much info, too fast.
Wow...This class was REALLY hard. Dr. Cheroske is a very nice, very intelligent teacher. He is very accessible and will even schedule extra office hours to help review. His tests were VERY hard and although I looked forward to physiology, I would never take a class like this in 6 weeks again. Too much "cramming" and not enough "absorbing" .
This was an intense 6 week summer class. Only do this if you're desperate to get it done for a deadline. It consumed my life for 6 weeks. Exams could have been a little less tricky. Final exam was a welcomed relief, easy. A nice way to end a difficult yet totally interesting class. Thanks Dr.C
Physio online is 8 hours a day Monday through Friday. Lectures are enjoyable and crystal clear. There is a disconnect between lectures & test. If you are an A student just go with it...you will probably get Bs most tests, but in the end an A might be yours if you strive with the help of a little EC. It is clear that Dr. C is one of the good guys!
Professor is definately a nice person who wants his students to succeed. The nature of the class makes it a bit harder because you have to try harder to keep up with the lectures. I would def. recommend this class for those who are self motivated.
His analogies were very helpful, I wish I could have had him for Chemistry, Anatomy and any other hard class.
Dr. C is the best! The subject is difficult, but he breaks it down in a way that really helps you understand. He has a great personality, offers lots of extra credit, and really wants his students to do well. There is a lot of material that is covered, so you really have to stay up on the lectures and the reading.
This is an online class since he lives in AZ. You have to be very self-motivated to listen to lectures & do the reading & online labs. Lectures are easy to understand & very interesting but the tests had almost nothing to do with the lectures, they were mostly from reading, which is A LOT! He is very nice & helpful just be ready to study A LOT!
Dr. C was really a lot of fun. This is the first internet course I've ever taken and I wish I could take all of them this way! His lectures were just as clear and interesting as if you were at the school (more than most "live professors) and his availability through online office hours was great. Don't expect an EASY A but it's there if you work!
Convenient for the student! Listen to lectures. Excellent teacher. Really knows how to teach. Lectures & notes are clear, exams are 90% based off of his notes. Study hard. Downside- had continuous problems trying to listen to archived lectures, & not given any credit for labs & not able to check lab work, no guide, answers posted, etc. Recommend!!
He is a really great teacher. You do have to read a lot and study but he is very helpful andhis on-line class is easy to use.
This was an online human physiology class. Very difficult, allot of reading and excruciating detail. Grading was very fair although the online test are really hard. Gave lots of extra credit and was easy to reach online; questions answered within 24 hours. Although not an easy class he is an excellent teacher. It's the subject thats tough!
online course is hard but very interesting. he is very helpful and smart. reading is very important in the class, def not an easy A. i would not recommend the online class unless you are dedicated and responsible. i would take the teacher again for sure.
Dr. C is very helpful if you have questions. However, some of his test questions are unclear and poorly written but if you speak to him about them he usually will give the class the points. The class material is hard but there are quite a few extra credit opportunities which is always good. Overall this class was interesting and the prof was good.
This was a VERY difficult online class to keep up with. Moves fast and you have to know the material. He is extremely helpful and is willing to help with whatever is needed. I wouldnt recommend taking this class online as there is so much information and if you fall behind its hard to catch up. Definately would take the professor again though!
This class was difficult, but I did learn a lot. The hardest part of this class on line was the labs, because there was no answers to compare to. The teacher was great, very helpful and graded fair. I would take him again without question.
Excellent professor. Enjoyed his lectures. He is respectful to students and keeps a great sense of humor. Emails to him were always answered immediately. Would take another class from him if I could.
Great Professor! Has a lot of patients. Will answer a question happily even if its the 10th time someone is asking because they weren't listening when others were asking. Able to explain things so even someone with no science background can understand very clearly. One of the best classes I've had yet. Not what I expected from an online class.
He's one of my best professor! The course is not easy specially being highly compressed in summer(6 weeks) and covers lots of material. His lectures through the web are really helpful and lecture notes are always there when you need it. He's always available by email and live office hours. I would highly recommend this professor!
This class is hard...you need to definitely put time and effort into it. Dr. C is quick to respond to questions and explains things very well. Would recommend this class if you were a Bio major; if not, then good luck!
He seemed to care about this class, but because it was a 6 week intense course, it took a long time to get a couple of test results back. Would be nice if the tests were ALL done online due to the shortened time frame. If you take the 6 week class, make sure that you have NO other plans for the 6 weeks. It's tough, not an easy A
I really enjoyed this class. It is a bit difficult, but the professor is always available to help you via email or live office hours, so it's great. =)
The professor is very helpful and willing to answer your questions. The tests are fair.
I thought it was a Hard Class but then again im not really interested in Human Physiology... Some of the chapters were interesting.
Dr. C. was a GREAT professor, especially given the fact that this class was online. It took a little getting used to with the whole online class deal, but overall he was always available for help via email. He responded the same day and never cared how much we bothered him. =) The class was SUPER hard and took a lot of dedication but if feels g
This class was tough and fast-paced. I felt as though the professor really cared in the beginning but sort of phased out towards the end. It was a lot of work. Like previously mentioned, its 6 weeks out of your life completely devoted to physiology. If you can't commit don't even attempt it!
great teacher would take his classes again
Good professor, knows his stuff. Requires a lot of work but focus and you can do it! No slacking in this fast paced class!
I thought Professor Cheroske was an exceptional professor. He was very knowledgeable. He was always available to help out if we needed anything. He was very devoted to his students.
I am sooo glad that I took Physiology with Dr.C. He is always there for you if you have a question to ask and responds right away. His teaching style is effective and his examples make it easier for you to understand. You do have to study hard, but that is expected for such a detailed subject. I definitely recommend him!
His class was very interesting...but it is a tough subject so be prepared to study a lot. I wish his online quizzes were either longer or you could retake them...as I would feel discouraged going into the test if i didn't do well. I did a study guide for the first 2 exams and found for me personally they were not much help.
Attendance is not mandatory but you are graded on communication/participation. The professor is very helpful if questions are asked. It is a great class to take if you are working because the majority of it is online.
Dr. C. is a really cool guy who makes this subject come alive. The weekly live "office hours" are a forum for questions, comments and clarification of what's to be done by when. There are two on-campus exams and three online exams plus five quizzes the weekend before each which was a great way to "tune up."
The exams are difficult. Lots of essay questions :(
This class is hard the whole subject is hard. The test are so hard the essay questions always got me grrr, but the professor is helpful make sure you dont get behind if u do its so tough to get back on track. Lectures are archived and office hours are helpful. I would suggest maybe like a test for each chapter just to make sure you get the info
Physiology is a hard subject because of all the body systems and functions that you have to learn and remember. Dr. C made it easier to understand the concepts through his lectures and he also gave analogies that made it easier to remember. Weekly office hours were helpful for Q/A sessions. It's up to the student to do their share of studying to do
This class is no joke! It is a lot of memorization...A LOT!!! Dr. C is a great teacher and answers all questions and if you need help, he is there for you. Although sitting in a classroom would probably be best for this class, the archives and weekly meetings worked. Take this class...you won't regret it!
If you are planning to take this class, my advice is don't work! The material is difficult and requires A LOT of studying. But Dr.C is an awesome professor. His lectures are clear and thorough. He is always willing to help and answer all your questions. He answers emails promptly. Tests are difficult though and there are lots of essays.
Hard class, lots of memorization, which is expected. However his lectures are not well-structured. Sort of just a "Q & A" on his live office hours
Online summer course - BAD idea! TONS of studying with 4 chapters each week covered. Online lectures for each chpt are about 2+ hours each. 1 quiz and 1 exam with essay questions each week. Tests are difficult. He's helpful and responsive but this class would have been better taken over a full semester. Praying to make it through the end! :o(
This class is incredibly hard...DO NOT TAKE IT UNLESS YOU'VE GONE THROUGH MED SCHOOL.
Great instructor. Really wants you to learn but will challenge you. Don't take with a lot of other classes though!
Great at helping understand a difficult subject. Always willing to help.
Great at helping understand a difficult subject. Always willing to help.
Great teacher always helpful.
Extremely difficult class. Do not take with alot of other classes. This class will consume your time. You need to listen to both letures to completely understand his lecture and to be prepared for the tests. Memorizes as much information as you can!!!!
Excellent professor! Wants his students to learn and do well. Highly recommended. =)
He is one of the best Professors I have had at Moorpark. It was a really good online class. He is very helpful and allows you to do extra credit which is always helpful. Usually the online lectures I have had before were very monotone but it his were easy to listen to and interesting. I would definitely take him again.
Taking his class you must pay your whole time in study, he really good professor, and his knowledge was huge, he can answer every things that concern to the lecture. He allway reply your email frequently. He is one of the enthusiasm professor that i study with.
Extremely time consuming class. Lots of reading...watch both sets of lectures. Very hard to study for tests, lots of material.
I'm not very interested in Biology, and I was not sure if taking Biology online would work for me. But the Professor made the class very similar to an on-campus class. Every week he would do a live lecture, which allowed us to ask questions and discuss our chapter material. The lab online was less confusing and more clear-cut than an on-campus one.
Dr. C's biology M01 class online was pretty easy. You have assignments every week that are due on Saturday @11PM. You have to do a winogradsky column, orientation assignment, lectures and mastering biology assignments. If you do all the work it is an easy A.
Took BIO 101 with him online and I have to say it was a lot of hard work, but not as daunting as I suspected. Mainly you just have to devote a lot of your free time to reading and watching the lectures,which would take me hours every day. Project was easy, and there are writing assgs every week. He drops 5 HWs. Also,he rounded my grade up to an A!
Toughest course I Ever took!! Pearson Ed. web site provides all the tests and questions are confusing. The tests were insane until I figured out Pearson .... Print out the missed questions with correct answers from previous tests and study those, as the web site will repeat those verbatim. Prof was wrong on test content, be prepared.
Online only but does a really good job at responding to students and giving feedback when needed. One project that I would recommend starting on early rather than later (you see better results and will get a better grade trust me!)
I was really nervous about taking this class but this is the best online class I have taken. If you listen to the lectures before you do the homework assignments, you'll be done in about 30 minutes. He is really good about emailing and the lectures on Mondays are really helpful to ask him questions.
There are a lot of lectures, but if you spend the time to watch those, the class isn't too hard. He has a good sense of humor, and always responds promptly to emails with questions or concerns. It's a great online course and if I could, I would definitely take his class again.
Going into his online class I was not sure what to expect because online biology just sounds terrifying. He was one of the best online class I have ever taken. I never had a question go unanswered by him and he really cared about his students as well. The assignments were a bit time consuming but the lectures really did help with the homework.
Dr. C was a fantastic professor! I took his online biology course and it was pretty easy if you did the required reading. He is quick to respond back to questions and the homework is simple multiple choice questions from the chapter reading. Labs are online and very straight forward! Highly recommend taking his course, he is amazing.
Took an 8 week online course from him. Since it was 8 weeks there was a lot of homework a day (about 3-5 assignments a day at times), but he would give it early in the week so I would try to get all/most of it done on Monday to have it all done. If you pace yourself, it's actually a nice class. Gives nice feedback and responds pretty fast!
