Have him now. He is super clear and funny and cute. Quizes are easy but are right when class begins soooo dont be late!
This dude is absolutely the man. He motivates me constantly and is fun at the same time. He will make your Biology experience absolutely amazing. He is the man and man again he is smart. Take his course, pay attention, ask question and trust me you will learn beyond Biology. PARATORE FOR PRESIDENT!
This professor is ok, the material is kind of annoying to keep up with but then and again its biology, overall he does his job in terms of teaching the material precisely. The main point is to FOCUS! don't start daydreaming or else you'll lose track.
As long as you do your work, Professor Paratore is super nice! :)
Professor Paratore is a great professor. He makes biology a fun subject and it's impossible to sleep on his class. I loved this class and I would suggest to get this professor. He is AWESOME. But there's a thing if you really want an A you have to study and it's not that hard. He really simplifies thing and I am sure you're gonna love him and the w
Overall he is a good teacher. Good sense of humor. You'll save money on textbook, he will give handout in powerpoint. Just read and read, you'll pass! Pay attention on the lecture and lab; recorder is very usefull. Double check on the exam because he often makes mistakes with the answer.He gave tons of quizzes, just be prepare!
Prof Paratore makes this subject more interesting than what it already is. Even if you're not a science major he makes you engage and understand even the most complex phenomenas! Study for the quizzes, analyze your exams, and review his notes, record his lectures and there's No WAY you can fail. I wish more professors were like him, this man ROCKS.
Professor Paratore is helpful and understanding. If you have any questions or problems he is available to help you. All you need to do is study and you can get a good grade. His class is not easy, but that's because science is not easy. He is straightforward and tells you what will be on the exam. Great professor!
He is the man! I will keep it simple because I can get into profound detail on how amazing this professor is. Again, he is a pleasure to have.
WHAT MORE CAN I SAY! THE BEST!
He is funny and makes learning easy and fun. His jokes do not contain humor and still make you laugh. He explains in detail and understands the students. Overall as an professor and a person amazing.
The best biology profesor ever. Very helpful understands how to teach. Funny makes you want to go to class all the time. Organized, detailed, caring, what a profesor should be. The best bmcc has.
He is GREATT!!! and LAUGHS and teaching wise very CLEAR JUST do what you are suppose to and you'll get good grade. :)))
Awesome, smart, funny ha ha, and sardonic, very understanding, clear and organized with lectures. A detailed syllabus is given so you know way ahead of time what topics to read and when quizzes and exams are scheduled. Respectfully, he?s not too bad to look at! LE CRÈME OF LE CRÈME @ BMCC
a great proffesor i recommend to choose him , his a comedian also understandable person, and makes learning easy.
Profssor P is not only a good person he is one of the best professors at BMCC. I would recommend him to everyone. He is on POINT on what he lectures. He is not like some of these other professors that come in with a chip on their shoulder with something to prove. He really pushes you to learn the material.
this professor was a great one he made his lessons easy to comprehend and i really understood the material.i wouldn't mind having him again in the future
Great Professor learn alot from him knows what he talking about .Class is very interesting. Higly recommend
Great professor. Gives lecture notes and preview of exams, makes things a lot easier. Great lecture and lab.
The guy will make you learn. You will learn. You can be stupid and you will learn. The difference is that he cares about people learning. You can't go wrong.
If you are the kind that believes that science is not fun and gratifying you will change your opinion after taking his class. He should teach other professor how to teach his way of teaching is a science itself and it is an art that you should not miss for ANYTHING IN THE WORLD!! The best I ever seem.
Best professor I've had! I wish he was teaching Bio 220 so I could have him again. He not only makes class fun but easy to learn. He also uses blackboard and PowerPoint notes so you don't have to purchase a text book for the lecture classes. You do need a lab book however. I looked forward to his class. Highly recommend this professor.
Professor's purpose is not to create students in his own image, but to develop students who can create their own image.
i wish he was teaching 220 in BMCC because i would so take him again. hes the best science teacher ive had [ever]. makes class fun and interesting and easy enough that you can understand it. his tests are all word for word from his notes and if you study the rightway you will get a good grade (theyre online test). take him and no one else!!!
Prof. Paratore is the perfect example of what all professors should be. Clear on what you need to learn/tested on. Makes sure you truly get concepts. Not a book pusher that'll waste $ on books that will hardly ever be used. Will give good direction on where/what to do school/career-wise. Respectful/not rude/extremely funny. U won't want to sleep!!!
GREAT PROF. WISH HE TAUGHT BIO 220 ! YOU HAVE TO BE PLAIN STUPID NOT TO PASS HIS CLASS. HE GIVES A CLEAR EXPLANATION AND MAKES YOU FELL COMFORTABLE TO ASK QUESTIONS . IN ADDITION IS A FUNNY GUY, SO CLASS IS NEVER BORING.
He is really great professor. If you are looking for prefessor who can give you the interest of bio. Here he is
the best professor you will ever have.
Lol it seems that most of my class posted here about prof p. well yeah this class will inspire you to make science your career.. Real guy, real great learning experience, don't try to bs him though!
Professor Paratore is an awesome teacher. Was very easy to get an A in his class as long as you study. Which isn't hard because he tells you exactly what you should be studying. He also makes the class a lot of fun. You can tell he really cares about his students and likes to teach.
Professor Paratore is very organized with the class lectures and labs. He talks thoroughly about the topics he discusses (which note taking is necessary); and does not abandon you during labs. He tells you what the lab will be based on and how to perform it. His test are very helpful in seeing how well you studied his review sheets (study guides).

Great professor, he explains everything very clearly. He makes the class fun and he gives a review sheet for each test which is great. If you study everything on the review sheet you will definitely pass. He makes BIO fun and interesting.
He really cares, he is very organized and hard working. He will answer your questions at your level (depending on your understanding of the subject, if you get bio or not..) If you do the work, there is no way you will not get an A. Let alone that you will actually learn something from him! I love it when profs are so straightforward! Great job!
Did not know what to expect when I took Biology 210. Prof Paratore combined theory with current situations. He was helpful but made it clear we are all adults and have to take responsibility. Will recommend him to any student.
This professor is one of the best and would recommend him to every student who takes Biology.
1 of the best prof's you'll have. He is crazy funny. Makes the class interresting & easy. I learned the most about biology from porfesor Paratore this semester than from all of my scholasticc years. You will not regret having him as your professor. I had so much fun in class that I refused to miss biology class & am now sad this semester is over.
Paratore is a really good professor. Anyone should be able to pass his class. He's young, energetic, and funny. He understands students, keeps it real and try to make bio as less complicated as possible. I got a B only because I missed 1 out of 2 lab reports (he only gonna remind you once about quizes and lab reports)
Professor Paratore is a great professor. Everything is easy and simple. There are week long quizzes every Sun at 7pm that help bring up your grades only 5 ques. You have two chances to take them, and you're given the right answers so no reason to fail. I got a B because I missed 1 out of the 2 lab reports but quizzes and exams I got 100s and 90s.
Just finished his class - he's the bomb - take him for BIO 110 and you will be so happy you did. He's relaxed and doesn't mind if you come late and he drops and exam and gives you 10 (that's right 10!) take home quizzes to boost your score in class. Only a lazy person could fail his class.
The best at BMCC - just take him you will not regret it. he's super funny and can teach anyone biology - even if you aren't into the class like I was.
The best prof ever. Easy and fun class. He makes bio super easy and super fun. Love him.
The best professor I've had at BMCC. He is very helpful and makes the class fun so it seems easy. He is very funny which makes class go by quickly. Highly recommend you take him for bio. He post all his slides on blackboard and study sheets for each exam!!! Easy pass.
One of the chillest professors I've had at BMCC yet. funny, laid back and very helpful when you need him. the fact that he's color blind and cracks jokes about himself is cool. if you have the chance to take him, go ahead! you will not regret it! :)
Great professor
The best Biology professor you'll ever get. Don't think twice. Take his class!
The best professor ever! Lectures aren't as easy as it seems so, a lot of material to comprehend but possible to get an easy A if you study. This professor is very helpful and funny, you'll never get bored during lectures or labs. I certainly do recommend everyone to take his class, you won't regret it!!!
Professor Paratore is an amazing teacher! He is so good at explaining things. The best part of his lectures was when he used his "Paratore Analysis" , because it made me understand biology better. He is really helpful. I wish I could have professors like him all the time. He is very helpful, so if you don't understand something you should ask him.
Awesome professor. His class was very interesting and worth my time. I'd recommend him to anyone
Great teacher for first time biology students.
He is an amazing professor. He always gives lecture note that helps a lot. i wish he would teach bio 220 at BMCC.
Ive never taken a science class before him anx managed to get an A-. To pass his class all you have to do is study what he tells you to. He gives you a clear review sheet. He doesn't car about stupid stuff like lateness& cellphones, he just cares that you understand the topics. I wish he taught bio 220. You only need to buy the lab book.
Professor Paratore is amazing. His lecture is very well organized and super clear.
He is a great professor. I would recommend him to all biology 210 students.
Dr. Paratore is the best Biology professor ever, thanks him I learned to love Genetic ;)
the most intelligent and nice prof in MBCC loved being in his Sunday class his exams are all from the review sheet very helpful the class is very easy and clear honestly its my first time feeling sad when semester is done I will definitely take this prof for my other BIO classes much respect to the nicest and funniest prof I've ever had .
Professor Paratore's classes are fun and interesting, plus He makes the classes easy to pass. The one problem you might have are His lecture slides. They don't contain much information, and I think He could make them a little more comprehensive. So, you would need to pick up a book every now and then. Outside the slides, you should take His class.
Great professor pay attention you will pass. do the quizzes, be respectful he in turn will do the same
Best professor i ever had , not like some idiots professors uses attendance to grade . All you have to do is do work and pass . Quizzes matter and easy, do them ! Fun class. When it comes to grading , its honest grading, you get what u deserve from the quizzes and exams you had !
Dr. Paratore is one of the best teachers i've had so far at BMCC. He really cares about his students. I highly recommend his class!
Dr. Paratore was super helpful and makes lectures fun. He cares about his students and is a great teacher.
He makes an otherwise dull subject easy to understand and follow along at 8 am on a Saturday morning with his humor. It makes topics more memorable. He encourages questions and is very patient with everyone. This professor is a hidden gem at BMCC! I Would be willing to take a topic like organic chemistry if professors like this are teaching it!!
He's the best. Just take him
He is one of the best at clearly explaining and giving real-life examples. He cares that you learn the important stuff and his lectures are the funniest! He explains if you have further questions about a topic and replies to your emails really fast. Don't hesitate in taking him.
Dr. Paratore was quick to answer emails. He puts a lot of effort into creating a positive learning environment. He was also very good at giving examples that provided clarity for difficult topics. Be warned, the tests are very difficult.
I took Bio 210 as a mandatory class on Saturdays at 8:00AM.I expected a boring class. To my pleasant surprise, Dr. Paratore makes this class very entertaining, and dynamic. Thus, students can not get bored-not matter the day or the time is taken. Make sure you go to class, take good notes. Do all lab outlines and take the quizzes. You'll pass. -V.
Honestly the best professor at BMCC. You'll miss out if you don't take him.
Having Prof. Paratore this semester was a BLESSING! Imagine Biology on a Saturday at 8AM! Loved him since day 1! His lectures are amazing! Gosh he is HILARIOUS! Not to exaggerate but I would laugh the entire lecture. He tells you exactly what he wants and what's on the tests. Follow the instructions, do your work and your A is guaranteed.
One of the best professors I have ever had. Clear grading criteria. Don't slack on the outlines or quizzes and study the powerpoint slides. Overall a very enjoyable class.
He is hilarious, takes his time to explain things so if you didnt quite understand something first time around he has no problem explaining it until you get it, do your lab outlines, quizzes, show up to take and take notes and you should be good to go. great professor!
Great communication A++ Professor. Recommend him and take again if I had he chance. Organized and clear grader and cares about his students. Would take again!!
Great teacher for first time biology students. G.O.A.T.
He is a good professor for sure. His lecturers are amazing. No text book to buy. I'm going to see him again in LIU. Eya..
I took his course on Saturdays at 8am and every single lecture and lab are worth going to. He never makes you feel as if your questions are a waste of his time. He also makes the subject relevant to the students and although bio is a subject with many topics, he presents the subject in a logical, understandable and memorable way.
He is the greatest professor I've ever seen! He explains Bio nicely. if u didn't get it, he will explain it in different ways. Bio is science class, but he made it fun. I enjoyed every single day going to school on Saturdays. Actually, I studied this class for fun. lastly, I felt Sorry after last exam. He is more than Professor. A++. Ey.
Professor Anthony Paratore its an excellent professor. He providers you with all the materials you need for the class. He is very chill; but cares about his students and helps you understand the material. I would take him again!
Prof Paratore is an amazing lecturer i mean INCREDIBLE. He made me understand the building blocks of biology in a eukaryote and prokaryote organism. He makes his lectures so damn interesting its unbelievable. Caring and what every prof should be like
Professor Paratore is amazing! Lectures are super clear and even though going to class isnt mandatory, you wouldnt want to miss it. TAKE HIM! TAKE HIM! TAKE HIM!
He is an AMAZING professor. Just take him!
Wallah he is the best professor ever take him you will pass the class if you just follow what he tells u and do the labs and for the exams all you got to do just study what he tells you to study. The class was so fun he always make us laugh in class. He classes are early in the morning but its Worth Waking up for his class he is a miracle from God
Excellent professor. You won't regret taking him especially if you are not a science nerd. He will make the lecture smooth and easy to understand. Just follow what he will tell you to do and you will get an easy A.
Excellent professor. Just follow what he will tell you to do and you will get an easy A.
Great class, and great professor. He makes the lectures very interesting.
he is an amazing professor
Great professor! His exams are based off the lectures and lab experiments you do so if you miss class there's a chance you won't pass. Even though I had him at 8 in the morning on a Sunday he still was able to make people laugh and learn at the same time. He breaks down the book in his lectures so it's not really required, but the lab manual is.
Dr, Paratore was hands down the best professor I had at bmcc. He broke down the lecture materials and made sure every student was on the same page as him. A real gem.
Definitely, an intense course with a lot of information to cover during Lecture as well as Laboratory is a must and if you miss any day then you end up missing vital information and participation. I over all thought it was a pretty good course, our professor gave pretty good Lectures and he assisted everyone during lab he was pretty patient.
Dr. Paratore is one of the best teaches I have had at BMCC. He does a great job making biology interesting. My only criticism is maybe some prep before class just so the student can get into the mindset of that week's topic. This can be done via article or video (khan academy) on that week's lecture.
Amazing Professor! Clear in his expectations, explains concepts fantastically and is super approachable. 10/10
I never felt bored in his class; his enthusiasm kept me active all the time. He dropped the lowest exam score, and the final exam is identical to the exams he gave us. He is caring, inspirational, smart, and has a great sense of humor. I wish he taught BIO 220 ): God bless you Professor! A real gem.
I have been going to this school for almost two years and I have to say that this is probably the best professor I have ever had. He is extremely passionate and uses real life examples that we can all relate to in science. It is a shame the school doesnt let him teach part two of Biology. You wont regret taking his class!
Professor paratore is one of favorite professors. He uses real life examples to give a clear picture of the topic. His class was really fun. Exams and quizes were easy too.
Professor Paratore gives his students every opportunity to do well in his course. He gives great feedback and is clear on instructions and expectations of students. He is professional and technology literate. He responds quickly to emails, submitted quizes and exams. He is knowledgable about his field . he is patient with students and ........
He's great! Take his class. He is an organized Professor, straight forward and clear.
I took prof paratore for Bio210. Hes an excellent professor. He answers emails within 24 hours. He bases exams on his lecture slides so the textbk isnt needed. But you must buy the lab manual. I would definitely take him again!
He is an amazing professor, goes over anything you need him to . Very patient and understanding. Wishy Todd Bio 220 . Do not hesitate to take him.
anyone that says anything bad about this prof takes themselves too seriously, he's awesome and makes everything easy to understand. pissed that he doesnt teach other bio classes like bio 2 and ecology.
One of my best professors at Bmcc !!!! Great lecture if I had to retake this class with Professor Paratore I will definitely do it again !!!! You will have a blast learning !!
I enjoyed his class. Focus on the PowerPoint presentation and you will do great.
I had him in the Spring of 2023. As much as I wish he would've bumped my B- up 1.67% to a B, I can't exactly hold him accountable as he was already extremely accommodating throughout the semester. He does care and is already very lenient on everyone and a very generous grader. The class was as easy as can be for a biology course honestly.
Definitely one of the best out there. Made a long boring topic rather interesting and fun. If It wasn't for an early Saturday morning class, I would've gotten a better grade in the lab. He is a easy grader and very understanding. would love to take again if needed another science.
He is hands down the best biology professor ever! I wish I could take all my bio classes with him. His lectures are engaging and make the subject so fun and interesting. His tests are straightforward and based on the slides, which makes studying easier. He cares about his students and goes out of his way to help us succeed. Truly the best professor
he is the best professor, caring and respected. Highly recommend professor. Easy to get good grade if you try your best.
This professor is one of the BESTT professors I've ever had. I have an 8 am class on Saturday and everybody knows those suck but this professor makes it entertaining and knowledgeable. I would never forget about him. He makes biology fun. With people with low attention spans I never got distracted in his class. For real the best professor in school
he's such an amazing professor It was a Saturday class, but trust me he made biology actually fun and interesting. He's super understanding, and even though I'm not great at bio, he made the class so enjoyable. 10/10 would totally recommend taking his class!! I'm gonna miss him so much 😩🧬💯
Great professor! Clear grading criteria and his lectures are funny so it keeps you awake! I Would love to have him again in any class!
He truly cares about his student, is an understanding person,& provides review sheets before every exams that way it's very unlikely to have a low score if you take the review sheets seriously& study through. His multiple choice exams are usually not difficult at all. He makes class very interesting. wish i can have him for all my science courses
