Great teacher, not your average bio class, teaches beyond the book

everything online, print hw cause test is just like it. good guy, attend class

Print the modules and study them for the test. Easy class!

he's really INTELLIGENT, do study guides and you'll succeed

If you get B's C's or even D's on tests & do all hw, you can get an A. I did!

SUCH a nice teacher!!!! He's the best! Everything's online so ya gotta keep up

For some reason I got an A even though I did bad on the tests and exams

Great lectures, easy class, most of the stuffs online, & open book quizes

Online- open book quizzes, makes biology understandable to non-science majors!

Greatest teacher ever! goes beyon the book.You learn a lot in his class. I rec. him. I you don't get an A or B you are ether stupid or lazy. Class is iteresting and it makes a lot of sense.!!!!

GREAT TEACHER, PRETTY EASY BECUZ OF ALL THE ONLINE ASSIGNMENTS, BUT HAVE TROUBLE SOMETIMES WITH GETTING IN CONTACT WITH HIM

What a cute little bald man!! I got an A, but I don't really know how. I still remember things from his class though (and I took it fall 2002). That knowledge just won't go away!

great teacher, funny & interesting lectures. online stuff easy.. he curves a paper quiz when the class does bad. you'll def. get an A or B in this class.

Easy Teacher and knows what he is talking about. Grade scale in book is not correct (95=A-) I got a 92 and received an A. If you have to take this biology class, I suggest you get Dr. Pozo.

Online quizes, and exams. In class paper final - but I got like a 70 and still pulled an A! This guy is cool. Will help you with anything and everything! Take this class for an easy A! Just do all the online modules, and quizes. KNOW THEM FOR THE FINAL!

I ended up with a B in his class, although I was really supposed to have a C, he must have bumped everyone up a grade. He's really funny and interesting, I totally recommend him! If you go to lectures and pay attention than you should get an A.

funny guy - makes lectures bearable.. very lenient, overall easy class. just don't forget to do quizzes & modules on time!

interesting lectures, he relates topics w/everyday news and social aspects revolving his students. easy quizes and mid-terms, i totally recommend this class.

AWESOME teacher, super helpful, will go out of his way to help you with anything!

very intelligent, funny man. He tries to keep things interesting, and he relates every day news to his class. You will learn something, whether you want to or not.

easy class, great teacher, online assesments and curves. i got an A and you can too!

GREAT TEACHER. ONE OF THOSE TEACHERS YOU WILL REMEMBER. HE MAKES EVERY CLASS FUN AND INTERESTING. YOU WILL REALLY ENJOY IT!!!!

Nice teacher. He makes his lectures fun. Online tests and emodules. Fun easy class.

EXCELLENT Professor. I must say biology is not my best subject, but I loved the way he explained everything and how he related biology to current events and our daily lives. VERY INTERESTING and EASY CLASS!!

Professor POZOS is by far the BEST teacher I have. His class is easy to understand and you LEARN. He is more of a friend than a teacher to each of his students. A very understanding and a nice person. TAKE HIS CLASS!

great teacher super easy class!

hes a very helpful teacher and his lectures are pretty interesting. don't buy the book, just read the emodules and lecture notes. easy to get a b, hard to get an a. A's are 95% and above.

Dr. Pozos is a very good professor. Cellular Biology could've been really boring, but he related all of it to current and interesting issues ranging from breast cancer to masturbation! Seriously though, he teaches very useful information and grades well.

Nice guy, don't buy book, clarity needs some work & VERY helpful. Good personality during a test I was stressed out he said to me "Relax. Life is good."

excellent teacher, easy to get a B as long as you do the emodules and get atleast 60% on all the tests! Makes bio fun. very undersatdning and approachable.

He is an awesome teacher. You will remember him. Class is interesting. Pass with no problem, just do the e-modules. Test are easy as long as you go to class.

first off... do NOT buy the book.. just buy the survival guide that he made. very easy. all work is online..no need to really go to class. got me liking bio again!

he's a pretty funny teacher. everything is online. pretty easy B, but have to try for an A.

If your major is Nursing DO NOT take this class! You can get a B really easily but an A is impossible. Really nice teacher and interesting class but unfair grading rubric

Awsome teacher! Makes bio interesting. No need to buy book. Do modules online, take a few in class tests, a few etests and a cumulative final. Not bad. Need to study for an A, but not impossible.

Pozos is the ****. Easy course. Don't buy the book. Attend lectures. Really forgiving and understanding teacher.

Read survival guide..text is basically useless. Online asses. are harder than in class exam. Go to class-cant get by just on the books. Grading not fair 95%=A. getting help w/online problem is impossible. YET, he's interesting..class applies to life.

Almost did nothing and got a B

awesome, has great stories

his standards are high, but he's very nice. do extra credit to boost your grade. he's very understanding if you go talk to him. get on his good side so he knows you're a good student.

funny teacher. Grading system is high 95% = A but easy points through out the semester except for all the tests. All his material relate to life a lot.

Pozos is the greatest bio professor i've ever had. I am a senior and avoided taking all my science courses til my last year because i HATE science with a passion, he taught me how to LOVE a class where i knew i was going to fail. I got an B!

He makes biology about as generic and easy as it can get. Make sure you do you e-modules its the one thing that will save you. Lectures are interesting but he WILL pick on ppl, so beware. Overall a good class, you will learn a lot of useful information.

This class is my favorite, because the teacher is enthusiastic, and you can ask him any question and will not make you feel dumb. The classes are very interactive, as is the class which involves doing emodules aka online hw. You are lucky if you get him.

Pozos, if you can read this, please fix your website; It sucks. It is the most unreliable piece of crap.

Very good at explaining concepts!

Pozos gives very interesting lectures. Tests are hard, but keep up with e-modules and you will be fine. When taking e-tests work in a group! It is important to go to class. He usually gives test answers on Fridays, so make sure you go then. I would recommend Pozos. Very nice guy!

Lectures are interesting and he is very understanding. His class is difficult though.

Very humorous

He is a really nice guy. I learned alot and he made it easy. He relates alot of material to real life instances. Really interesting and I would recomend his class.

I liked his class, really interesting topics but they have nothing to do with the e-test. So freakin' hard. Just make sure you do your e-modules and if you fail all the tests you'll at least get a B in the class. Beware: 95% and up is an A. Any thing lower than 85 is a C.

Really nice man. Hes willing to always help and listen to you. Tests are incredibly hard, but not worth too much of final grade. online hw is a gaurenteed 100%.

Great teacher but very difficult class. Homework is tedious but easy. TESTS ARE VERY HARD!!!!

You get the concept of most things if you pay attention.However you do a lot of things online: EMODULES AND ETESTS but its easy.If you miss one you cant take it over, this hurt my grade the most.The tests are HARD.Youll get a B if you do all online stuff n average on tests.Grading scale is high!

Hard, but interesting class. He makes Bio relevant to life so we can understand and use it, but his grading scale is hard. 95-100 = A, 85-94= B. Its possible to get an A but extremely hard. Never skip an emodule. his tests are ridiculously hard. nice guy though.

Okkaay evil class- just b/c u have these online quizzes all the time and i forgot to do like 14 and thats like 300 points. I got b's on the tests,and could have gotten like a B but the emodules KILLED ME! KILLEd!!but he is an AWESOME and INTERESTING lecturer, great info- clear, just REMEBER modules

Interesting class, but lots of work required to get a good grade. Do the e-modules in advance, since the site sometimes has technical problems. Come to his lectures, a lot of it is on the test and they are very interesting. If you want to learn BIO, take him!

Find a way to remind yourself to do modules. E-Tests are way harder than paper tests. lectures aren't bad.

pretty cool professor. TONS of emodules due frequently.. must do them.. worth a lot of points! etests and paper tests are okay.. someone hard! final was a killer! way too long and too many questions! lectures are fun and he hates on people who are late to class. overall.. pretty cool class

THIS CLASS IS VERY EASY,ONLY IF YOU JUST CAME OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL. THE EMODULES ARE WHAT HELP YOUR GRADE AND MAKE SURE TO GET 100 ON ALL, A LOT OF TESTS AND A FINAL.

Easy class just do all the e-modules and review the notes and emodules and you will do fine in the class.

Hardly went got a B, do ALL E-Mods, E-Test doesn't really pertain to paper test.I averaged 12/25 on E-Test but 85%on paper tests.Very understanding, if you go to him w/a problem before class, like an adult, he'll help you out and he's very understanding.I missed deadlines and he extended them for me

If you want an A, get ready to work. His grading scale is imossible, only 95 and up is an A. I got a 94. Remember to do all the online assignments and study for the tests. Hard class, but he's a great guy and makes bio interesting and applicable.

Dr.Pozos is one of the BEST professors I've had at sdsu. he's really cool and at times he's really funny. when he lectures, he makes it interesting and also he makes sure to help students to understand what's going on. he really knows what he's talkin about!

this is the best class ever. he made the class fun and interesting. you would want to go to class everyday even though you dont have to. high grading scale but very easy points to earn. take this class, you wont regret it.

Very clear and straight forward with his lectures!If you want an A get ready to work hard because his grading scale is 95 and up for an A. Make sure you do all emodules! they are pretty easy and count for a lot of points, they are the reason I got an easy B.

His class is all right,make sure you do all the emodules, if not, dont miss over 3..max is 5. High grading standard (95-up is an A)(85-94 is a B) and so forth.You have to work really hard if you want an A.Theres a 2% xtra credit.ALWAYS STUDY IN ADVANCE for midterms & etc.Overall,U should take him!

class scale is 100-95 A, 95-90 B... attend class everyday most of info. on his lectures, do all the e-modules, they can determine your grade.i strongly suggest study groups a week in advance, don't cram, it won't help.he is happy to answer any questions you have for him. very nice and intelligent.

This class was challenging but nice if you find it hard to read every night, because the about 3x a week homework are questions (online, pc only) based on the reading so you HAVE to read. The teacher is enthusiastic and helpful. He never says it, but you can get a - or a + as a grade.

Nice teacher. Willing to help you if you actually make the effort and go to him. Tests are pretty hard, but do ALL the e-modules and your grade should be fine.

Don't let his easy to understand lectures fool you. He teaches very well, but the material on the tests and especially the quizzes are very hard. Study HARD, I did, and I only got an A-. Bob is a very nice professor, you will enjoy his friendly nature.

Hard class. Must go to lecture, MUST do ALL e-modules. Be very careful not to forget them, especially Friday night, you will watch your grade drop. He doesn't cover everything, so ask questions, he's very helpful. Tests are hard, final is bit easier, STUDY! Pay attension and interact in class, a good rep with him will helps.

Professor Pozos is the coolest bio teacher I've ever had. He was such a great lecturer and he always made suree everyone understood every topic. Make sure you do all your emodules because they will kill your grade if you don't. the tests are no joke. especially the etests. study hard and go to lecture and you should be fine.

I loved this class. Pozos is a great teacher, very entertaining and easy to follow. He looks like the monopoly guy. The emodules are easy, its the etests that get you. Hopefully they'll fix that.... tests weren't bad, I averaged B's on them... just make sure you go to class and remember to do the homework everyday.

He's a great lecturer but the tests are difficult. ALWAYS DO THE EMODULES!!! missing one can bring you down 2% points. the e-tests are impossable but the paper tests are much easier

this guy knows his stuff. and lectures are never boring. as long as you keep up in the reading and e-test there is NO reason for you to get a B. its an easy C class, B u have to give some effort, and just UNDERSTAND everything for an A. not too demanding

The lectures are interesting, but what gets you are the emodules. You have to do every single one or your grade drops. This class isn't just lecture and test, HW everyday. Study for Etest!!

Pozos makes lecture extremely interesting but dont be fooled by how easy it is to understand, take REALLY good notes that you can use to study the e-tests because they are not easy at all. The paper tests are pretty fair, the e-modules are super easy so do them all and theyll boost your grade.

Professor Pozos treats his students well and is very friendly. He also relates lectures to real life. His online modules are easy, but his online quizzes are hard. The in-class tests are of medium difficulty so study. I got an A- with a lot of effort.

Students can sometimes be crazy. information is not always found in textbooks, use logic, previos knowledge, use the internet (theres wonderful bio sites out there) you dont see something on the emodule ASK, LOOK IT UP ELSEWHERE, do not blame it on the text if you dont know the answer. This is the BEST teacher I've had! But students are sooo lazy! They want to find easy answers and dont have the courage/determination to learn outside of a given text. Grow up! Pozos is the greatest bio instructor out there.

No Comments

i liked him alot. emodules can be hard, but this class takes much common sense. Do all the emodules or your grade will suffer!! the tests vary from easy to hard, you never know. All around, hes good but the "bioespresso" he uses gets frustrating sometimes

HE'S THE COOLEST BIO TEACHER I KNOW. IT'S PRETTY EASY, JUST DO ALL THE E-MODULES AND TESTS AND STUFF AND YOUR GOOD TO GO!

he is very good at explaining things the only set back is he always has quest speakers who dont give very clear information so that sucks but other than that he is easy

Ohhh no!Pozos No!I don't get it I did everything and got a d+. I don't think he's easy, yes he's a nice guy but the emodules suck!If you have a bussy schedule don't take him. The emodules will bite you.Plus the test are very long, not hard just long

Pozos is a good teacher.Made class interesting. The e modules are not too difficult. Sometimes tricky, but mostly straight forward. If there are problems with the computer, go to office hours and he will gladly let you redo the assignment. Take him....it's like watching the Monopoly man talking about mitochondria and ATP.

lots of fun

Professor is friendly and cool. His online quizzes are next to impossible, but in-class tests are based on a curve and are easier. Class attendance is essential, but the book is not. Approach this class with caution if you don't like science.

He makes lectures very interesting and makes you think/connect ideas. Very helpful in the real world because of the application. The only thing that sucks about the class are the emodules, but you get 3 tries, but then again its time consuming. Jot down the main points to lecture, and do the edmods and youre set.

He's a good teacher. Funny. Didn't take roll but I went like every day. Make sure you go to the guest lectures for the extra credit.

so easy. but you HAVE to do ALL emodules. (little hw/quiz's every mwf that you do online) there WILL be a lot of guest lecturers turing the middle to the end of the semester. they suck! so read the book when they come to class.but other then that easy A even though i got a b cuz i didnt try.

He's got the tough love attitude- if you show him that you are interested in a good grade, he will help you there. Makes you answer your own questions. DO EMODULES (the answers are in your book anyway.) STUDY EMODULES. Pay attention- extra credit at lecture! Wonderful guy! My favorite.

Ok, he was pretty easy going. First few weeks, you really don't need to go to class. Just make sure you are there for guest lectures, cuz he would do extra credit from them, and it helps. DO THE EMODULES!!! Many questions, and the answers, are in the book... just a few random questions at end of Module. Fun class, I enjoyed it very much.

He is a good professor to take. Really recommened to do e modules and get the highest grade possible. It is somewhat easy and does give x-tra credit when guest professors come to teach. The only bad thing is having to do an e module every day you have class and have to complete it by that same day. SO some effort is needed to do well! Good class!

Pozos is a great teacher. Just remember to do the e-modules and TRY to get them all correct. That will ehlp you A LOT in the end. Test are pretty easy in the begining and they get a little difficult in the end. I did all the e-modules and did well on the test and I got a soild A! I RECOMMEND taking this teacher and this class.

I LOVE THIS GUY! He is a great teacher with incredible enthusiasm and support of the students. The grading scale is NOT weird, it's normal with 90% is an A because I got an A with a 92%. Take advantage of office hours, and DO THE EMODULES! They will help you anyway! Very encouraging and caring.

Pozos is the best Professor i've had at SDSU yet!Great teacher who relates everything to real life issues.Lectures are super interesting and they go by fast unless theres a guest speaker (they suck)Very understanding,he curves the test like no other!Highest score on one test was 80%, I got a 79% but after the curve i got a 95%.Do emodules,it helps!

too easy. this class is a joke. if you take it for CR/NC youll never have to show up. i never studied and pulled a B. i never even went to class for that matter.

One of the best teachers at sdsu

Dr. Pozos is by far the best teacher i've had at sdsu. I was so scared to take bio, Pozos took that fear away. He definitely knows how to make a boring biology class interesting. He gives great examples that relate to real life situations. WORD OF ADVICE: do ALL of your e-modules (online quizzes) .. they range from 18-37 questions.

He's the best teacher i've had all year. the ONLY reason why i rated it NOT easy, was because we had different instructors from UCSD teach us and some of them were hard to understand. I bet you a million if Pozos taught, everyone wouldve had an A. Hes hillarious and a very understanding person!!

this class was really interesting and pozos is super funny and prob one of the best teachers at sdsu. its a easy B but you have to do all of the emodules and study for the tests to get an A. the only disadvatage of the class are the grad students that come and teach cuz some of them have no teaching skills. take this class! i got an A & recommend i

great teacher, the online quizzes were a pain, requires a moderate amount of studying! if you put yourself to it you can easily get an A.

Awesome teacher and awesome class! Dr. Pozos makes every subject relevant to the modern day experiences. Funny teacher and makes class fun and enjoyable. Best teacher at SDSU!

He's the best teacher i've had all year. the ONLY reason why i rated it NOT easy, was because we had different instructors from UCSD teach us and some of them were hard to understand. I bet you a million if Pozos taught, everyone wouldve had an A. Hes hillarious and a very understanding person!!

Even though Pozos is the professor listed, he barely teaches. He brings in doctorates from UCSD to lecture, which is hit or miss. Some of the lecturers are great, some not so much. There are mandatory quizzes after each class online that REALLY help your grade if you do them.

I recommend taking pozos for biology. The class has its annoyances, but for the sake of the grade i would even take pozos again. As stated, he invites guest lecturers from ucsd to teach after a few weeks or so, and may I add that only a FEW are effective public speakers. Take ALL e-modules and e-tests. random extra cred is given in class,so go!

well.. the $80 dollar book is useless, the lectures are usually taught by UCSD ppl, it'sgood to go to class.. u never know when he will give out x-tra credit.he tries to answer the e-mails.. class is alright as long as you skim through the e-modules you should be able to get a C on most of the tests and do ALL e-modules they help out your grade

Really great class if biology or science at all is not your thing. Remember to do the e-modules online, they make up most of your points in the class. I missed two modules and it cost me an A, but the are really easy to do. Also on the e-test, work with someone, have them take it first then you do it and help each other out!

Very nice and understanding teacher. He's funny and makes sure you know what you're learning by asking questions. If you really need help, he will help you and make sure you get the higher grade. Most of the material is online, but you need to get the overly expensive $80 text to get the code as a password for the site. Guest speakers usually teach

TAKE THIS PROFESSOR! Fun, interesting class. He has tons of guest lecturers and you take mini quizzes online after every class (easy!) You determine your grade based on those... tests aren't too bad, just attend lectures! Lots of extra credit too! Cute little man with a warm heart!

This class is based entirely online. You can go to class if you want. He assigns E-modules three time a week and I highly suggest you do all of them. The exams are pretty hard though. He barely teaches and it can get annoying because he would have graduate students come in and lecture and usually they are not that great.

I LOVED THIS CLASS! i honestly never felt more motivated to attending a lecture. he is very entertaining. the grad students are okay at the end you rate them on their teaching so if you want to complain about them, do it then BOOK IS ONLINE..FREE!! TOTALLY WORTH IT! the tests dont bring down your average so if you do ALL THE MODEULES youll do fine

awesome class!!! I loved it! Pozos doest teach most of the time, but guest speakers are good. Just do the modules and its easy.

i personally dont kno what everyone is talking about.. yes you have to do e modules but if you gather up with just like 2 people theyre piece of cake, ive done them all my test grades arent that great but i still have a b. pozos is great, some of the guest speakers arent, but overall i like the class. i recommend it.

Make sure you never forget to do an emodule or an E-test, they are the most important part of your grade. Other than that class isnt mandatory but they offer extra credit everynow and then if you show up

This is a great class! Of course there s a lot of info to learn, it's Bio but online e-modules make it fun and easier to learn. no book, dont need to go to class, but extremely helpful to go cuz he explains everything in depth. Also student teacher are good too. offers xtra credit. if you make an effort you will do great, and enjoy learning Bio!

Might as well have taken an upper-division course.. SO unfair! The "book" which was $94 consisted of 5 sheets of paper- questions without answers, what good is that? There are tests BEFORE tests..Hmm. Homework, EVERY other night, which is required to be finished BEFORE lecture. Doesn't make any sense to me.. And Pozos hardly teaches the class. Bogu

The book was a joke. I'm pretty sure he sees some profit from using that "textbook" He barely teaches the class but when he does he's helpful. Other teachers are good. The material is hard so study and do the extra credit. Curves tests as well, so it helps. Funny guy. Make sure you do all the emodules so your grade wont suffer.

I really liked this class!As long as you show up and do all of the modules on time, you will do fine. He also gives extra credit ops. Pozos has a great sense of humor and I liked the guest speakers as well. The only thing that was not that cool was the cost of the book that I didn't really use. That's the only complaint I have though.

Very difficult. There are at least 42 web-based emodules; meaning you have to rely on the web for answers, 4 online tests, 4 paper exams, and one 200 question cumulative final. Be prepared to work like this was Bio 300.

The class was fairly easy because there was so much homework, but you had to do the homework.

Pozos is a really humerous professor he's very understanding. ppl are only happy during lecture when he's lecturing. class was very fair. Very managable to get an A because modules were 50% of grade and theres a 2% extra credit oppurtunity at the end. Loved this class pozos and his TA. their cool!

HE SUCKS!!!! IT WAS AN EASY CLASS THOUGH

Dr. Pozos is VERY Funny!!! The class sucked because the lectures are exactly for the "E-modules"! When he did the lecture everyone attended because he's so cool. When he has guest speakers (most of the time), you'll look around the room and half the room is sleeping. Just do the E-modules and E-tests and you'll pass this class. Easy Grade,TAKE HIM!

easy to get a B. Tough to get an A

Dr. Pozos is awesome! If you can't get an A in this class then there is something wrong with you. There is so much extra credit, the modules aren't hard- you just have to read them. If your lazy, then don't take the class, but hey YOUR IN COLLEGE NOW, so expect to do some reading. Anyways, easy A if you read the modules!

omg dr pozos is the best he pretty much gave grades away best on hw. some one could fail every test and still pass the class jst by doing good on emodules which have all the answers on the exact same website, best class ive ever takin. and if someone doesnt like bio and just needs to boost up there gpa take pozos but u need to set aside about an hr

If you can't keep up with the emodules 3 days a week, don't take the class. If you can, it can be pretty easy. He pretty much gives out EC. The etests are difficult, but the paper tests aren't as bad. He is a highly entertaining lecturer, but the fellows sometimes aren't. Go to his office hours even if you don't have questions. He'll give you EC.

He was a really good professor if you are interested in the subject. He will call on random people in class so try to pay attention. If you are not a science major i would try and get another teacher. Do well on the E-Modules and do with other people and you will be fine. Most tests are from e-modules and lectures.

This is literally the best biology class you could ask for. If you do the work there is no way you cannot get an A+. There is a decent amount of homework, but it is very easy and interesting. Tons of extra credit. Easy A, just do the work!

Hybrid class, you dont have to attend lectures since everything is online but it really really helps a lot! Different postdoctoral instructors take on some lectures which makes it more dynamic. As long as you keep up with the extra credit and try the e-modules until you get a good grade, class is easy. Study for test! there is no actual textbook.

Pozos class is easy. Read the e-module assignments thoroughly and you should have no problem getting an A. All the questions from the tests are off the e-modules. Show up to class if you want and A for sure but not necessary to pass the class. Extra cred in class several times. Every time there is a guest speaker(often) do an eval. of them for pts.

This class is extremely easy! As long as you do the modules, you'll pass with a B. Study the terms for all the tests and you'll get an easy A, just like I did.

This course is EASY. Do the modules, show up to class (most of the time) and you're pretty much guaranteed an A (unless you're retarded, in which case you'd need to show up all the time for the A). Very helpful prof, and the best part is, he knows you probably aren't a BIO major, so he teaches you what is important, to know in life. TAKE THIS CLASS

This class is awesome. It's pretty much online based, with e-modules that you have to do every other day. I dind't do to great with the written tests, but got all A's on the emodules, so I ended up with a B+. TAKE THIS CLASS!!!

This is one of the easier classes of the semester. just do your best on all the emodules it is half your grade, plus it helps you study for the tests. get to know the teacher personally it helps

Don't be spooked by the first 10 or so emodules. The class SEEMS hard until right after it's too late to drop. If you've got the balls to trust an online review though, it gets SO much easier when the other dudes take over. did most of the emodules, never studied, and passed the class with an A-. Easily could have gotten an A if I worked for it.

This is one of the greatest and most influential professors I have experienced. Very passionate about Bio and one of the most stimulating GE's I have taken. The Post Grad lectures are less than perfect but they are here to learn. Go to his office hours- he changed my perspective life and really made me ask some pressing questions. Great guy,take it

This teacher is soo easy!! I am retaking this class (my previous teacher was Truedale) anyways I'm learning functional-true life stuff rather than just reading from a boring textbook. He does have grads lecture a huge chunk of the class but they are pretty decent. I have a B- ave student and I'm getting an A in the class. There's extra credit!

This teacher is SUPPPPPPER EASY. The textbook is online and its mandatory but its really easy. He has a lot of post doc students that come in to teach the lectures. Some of them are good but some suck (you get 5 points extra credit at the end of their lectures though).

Dr. Pozos is a pretty good teacher and has Post-doctorates from UCSD teach most of the material. You have HW MWF, but it's not too bad when you get the hang of it. I FAILED every test, passed with a B+. There's so much extra credit, it was worth over 30 points! BTW, if stick with this teacher instead of Truesdale (this my a repeat class)

Pozos is a really good teacher and WHEN he lectures, the class is really enjoyable. However, most of the class is taught by Post Docs. and most of them are pretty dry lecturers. Its an easy class to pass, (although I've heard that a lot of people failed the tests) because he gives so much extra credit, and there is homework due MWF. I recommend it.

He's a great,informative teacher when he lectures but as everyone else has already mentioned, postdocs teach most of the material.They try their best too.Has an online book&website.extra credit helps greatly.Quizzes every MWF online.4tests.final is cumulative.

For the first couple weeks, I thought I was going to die in this class. The weekly readings/quizzes were hard to get the hang of and the material seemed difficult. But, I was wrong.I stuck it out and I'm glad I did. Just STUDY, go to class, and do the EXTRA CREDIT.. He gives enough that you canget a 0 on a whole test and still be fine! I got a 100%

I got all F's except for a D+ on the tests, did all the extra credit, got A's on most of the homework, and finally passed with an A- in the class. There is a TON to memorize - way more than is possible for a GE class - but that's what the EC was for. Fools you into thinking it's a REALLY hard class for the first 2 weeks but gets way easier later.

Difficult class and textbook is online. So much material crammed, wouldn't recommend this class. Good, funny guy, but rarely even teaches because he has his TA's. E-module quizzes every other day and E-tests as well as paper tests. Good luck to anyone who takes him.

If you have the chance to take Pozos do it! I wished he would have lectured more, but just do all the HW and tests and you'll be fine. It did seem like a lot of material to cover for a 100 Biology class though.

Pozos was a relaxed professor. No textbook used. Everything is done online, except the midterms/final. "Modules" (readings followed by a quiz) were posted pretty much every other day, There were a little more than 40 of these. Three online tests, 4 in class including cumulative final. Tons of extra credit! Pretty easy class, do ALL the homework!

Not an easy class at all. A ton of work. 10 question quiz due before every class. Pozos doesn't really teach the class at all. Taught by grad students. Tests are really detailed and pretty hard. Final was rough. 200 questions, cumulative.

So much information to learn, it can be overwhelming.Do ALL of the modules, that is your best source of points. They're kind of a drag, but they're easy (you get 3 tries) and will help your grade. Do the extra credit, that helps too. I learned a lot in this class, it was very interesting.

These people who say he is hard are retards. The class is not difficult, basic bio concepts. He offers a ridiculous amount of extra credit resulting in A's for even the biggest tards in the class. Take him if you want an easy A. Funny guy too.

He is one the best teachers I have ever had at SDSU. Too bad for all of you who complain about this class, I got a B and learned alo from him and his guest lecturers. This class is not hard as long as you do your work and ask for his help if you need to. Great professor!

I LOVE POZOS!! he was AWESOME and could explain anything in a crystal clear way. he doesnt teach the whole semester though... he does have TAs come in for him a few weeks in

Took this class in the summer online. It was time consuming with 2 online modules due everyday but if you read the material and do ALL of the modules you should be fine. I got D's on all three exams but because I did all the modules I recieved a B. Overall easy course definately take Pozos!

Take this class online. Your grade will only be based on the modules and the modules are pretty straight forward, just skim them and search for the answers when you take the module tests. The tests are pretty hard though, some questions you can find in previous modules.

straight foward class. took the class online. theres a bunchhh of modules so make sure you do all of them. the tests are pretty hard, but the modules will help your grade a lot so dont worry too much. he offers an extra credit powerpoint assignment which CAN help your grade a little if you do a good job on it.

This class...such a mess. Online modules (quiz) help grade tremendously and lots of extra points here and there. Don't go to class but study the modules quizzes and etests for exams. Post doc students teach differently so its hard to learn from them. I got a B and didn't do anything but the bare minimum. He's funny when he does show up :)

Took this course online. All you do is take homework quizzes which you can just skim through the writings for. Three tests and one final which are kind of hard, but just find other people in the same course and work through them together. Easy A, just make sure and get all 10s on homework and don't botch the tests.

The online course is pretty easy. You can Google or search the modules to get answers. Some answers are not in the modules or are different than the modules. For a 100 class, however, it was way too difficult. At times, I felt like I was pre-med. Pozos is hardly available. Overall, the class is just a bit annoying.

I took the online class. The modules weren't hard. There were three due per week. About 15 pgs of online reading and a 10 question quiz. The tests and the final are tough but if you keep on top of everything, you'll be okay. He also has review sessions before each test. Test questions ask you to apply concepts to situations a lot of the time.

I took the online class. If you stay on schedule with all the modules, it's not that hard of a class. I'm terrible at science, and ended up with a B+.

Definitely take the online class. 3 modules due every week so pretty time consuming for a 100 class. Nice curve at the end so I got to keep my A:)

Lots of quizzes/modules BUT you have 3 tries for each quiz (and most are all on paste bin). The exams are hard, but I didn't study. I did not read 1 module and got a B in the class and also failed most of the quizzes. I would take it online rather than take an actual class if I were you. It really isn't that hard.

Pretty easy class. Three "reading assignments" and respective quizzes a week. The quizzes were easy if you just look to the reading for the answers. Tests were hard. Mostly scenario questions on the test. Do the modules and quizzes, get decent test scores (over 50%) and you'll pass

I felt the need to comment because of everything below that scared me before taking this class. Quizzes due 3x/week (SUPER easy). You should get at least 9/10. 3 Tests + final. If you get at least a D you will definitely get a B in this class. ITS NOT THAT HARD, believe me. Isn't not an easy A but you gotta be a slacker to fail it, honestly...

Most of the people that comment on here are students that did poorly on the course. If you like learning about the human biology and you COMMIT yourself, you will learn and do great. I loved this class and if you need help go and ask him for help! He is a great professor and person. Read and go to his office, ask him questions!

Basically an online class. Everything is done through bioespresso. Simpleeasy quizzes 3 times a week. You have the chance to retake each quiz 3 times to get the best score. Tests are online and ask the same questions that are on the quizzes. Final is cumulative. He's understanding and willing to help you out.

Would recommend this teacher for Biology 100, I enjoyed his teaching criteria. Just go to his class, listen, and you should pass.

Pozos is pretty good. The module quizzes aren't too bad once you get the hang of them. They cover a great range of topics that are interesting. Need to study pretty hard for tests but there are only a few. Just keep reviewing material as you finish each module. Also he offers an extra credit paper that is long but will really boost your grade.

Overall... Pozos was okay. The modules are long and sometimes confusing & the tests are definitely difficult if you don't read. If you can take another professor for Bio100, go for it.

People are being way too whiny about this class. Regardless of what grade you receive, I would just like to point out that POZOS ACTUALLY HAS INTERESTING LECTURES. They aren't absolutely necessary to attend for the hybrid course, but they are definitely worth going to. Know and understand the modules and you'll get the grade you want.

Dr. Pozos' class is mostly online. Always do the modules! Just don't miss any and you'll do fairly well. Mostly everyone scores low on the tests, so the test curve is pretty good. His lectures can be boring, but he cracks jokes often. If you talk to him after class or at his office, he is a very caring professor, so talk to him!

I honestly liked Dr. Pozos bio class. He's a pretty interesting a guy &his lectures were enjoyable. But it was tough class. There were 3 quizzes that were given each week, 3 exams and Final. If you want to pass the class, stay on top of your modules &come to class even if you don't want to,and ask a lot of questions. Don't slack and you'll do fine.

TIP: Due to A HUGE AMOUNT of contents in this class, you should work smarter not harder for this class. That being said, test and exam are all online and are ALWAYS curved 70% or else. Extra credit gives 50 points but you are guaranteed to get at 30 points if you meet the requirements. Spend 5 mins per quiz, 2 months for the paper. Hint:CourseHero
