Dr. Lonzarich is extremely helpful and easy to approach. His exams are relatively easy, as long as you take good notes and don't skip class. Very passionate and excited about teaching and you can tell he cares for his students and wants them to succeed. Definitely would take class from him again.

He's funny, kind of a nerd at heart, easy to approach, his way of lecturing works!!! He uses a large screen to put up graphs/pictures/images to help explain while he's talking. It worked for me.

He is a great teacher, but he teaches hard material. I would rather have him than any other professor. He lightens his lectures up with his sometimes flustered and hilarious attitude.

He is sometimes jumps around with the topics he covers in class, and classes sometimes get long. But he is a really funny guy who LOVES to talk about his fish. He is really willing to help you too. If you take good notes and study...the tests are not so bad.

Dr. Lonzarich is a good guy. The class is tough, but I hear he's better than any other professor teaching that class. Lectures are random and kind of hard to follow, but write everything down, STUDY for the tests, then you'll be fine. It's not a class you can skip and slack and still expect do we

I really liked Lonzarich as a teacher. His tests were pretty difficult but going to the review sessions with the tutors really helped out a lot. He has a very interesting teaching technique and the lecture found themselves laughing at him quite a bit. Crazy guy.

Great professor. Seems unaproachable at first but is very helpful. Makes the class interesting with stories.

Hes a nerd at heart, loves science. If you screw off in his lecture you'll be sorry (He'll mock you in front of the group.) However, if you're a good student, this is a great class! He is a good speaker, and if you listen and take notes you dont even have to read the book.

Dr. Lonzarich has a great way of presenting his lecture to the class. He keeps kids interested with his hilarious stories so you never get bored. His tests are very hard so make sure you attend class and TAKE NOTES. STUDY LOTS for the tests and you will be fine. Would recommend Dr. L to anyone.

He's way cool and I would recommend to take him if you like biology a lot. He really cares about his students and gives you every opportunity to learn. By far my favorite professor. SOmetimes he is unclear in his expectations but just ask him a lot of questions he is always there to help.

He's a great guy, really funny. He just cracks me up. I enjoyed his course. Take him for lab, he will get to know you on a personal level. Others may say his exams are hard but if you study and think, you'll do ok. I studied a lot and got a B, mainly because he has tricky questions on the exams, so pay attention to exactly what they are asking for.

Very funny guy! Tests a little bit tricky but overall he's not to bad at knowing when we need help.

Awesome guy, fun class, true that an interest in Biology is a must but I recommend taking a class from him, WAY into fish lol

Great teacher who trails off into some interesting stories

Pretty good guy. His lectures are at least entertaining. Material is kind of rough. Scares the crap out of you the first few days about average test scores. Some people can't stand the course but I found it not too bad.

The tests cover lecture material and only that, so take good notes and use the book as a reference. He's a little crazy but it works. Tests are hard but study and you can usually do pretty well. Also, he has this great system where if your final is better that your other two exams your exam scores are replaced with your final exam grade.

Lonzarich is ridiculously hard, but its worth it! I somehow managed to get an A in this class, but it took a lot of studying and such. I somehow managed to get an A on the final so it replaced my old test scores! That system is fantastic! You will learn a lot in this class so dont be afraid and take it! You will enjoy it a lot!

It was a fun class. His tests are challenging, but you'll learn a lot. He is a cool guy to know. Oh yeah, you better not mind talking about fish all of the time because he uses them for examples. He is very helpful when you ask him, and he also has many TA's who are willing to help.

Lonzarich is a great guy- although kind of nutty sometimes. He really knows his stuff and is really enthusiastic about it (which always helps). He definitely keeps things exciting! Probably my favorite prof here so far.

Most of the kids that complain about dave are kids that are "premed" that soon flunk out of bio classes. The class is a piece of cake compared to other bio-major classes. Come to class everyday, and understand the material, and you'll get >95%. If you think this class is hard, pick a new major.

Lonzarich is a cool prof. He will take time to talk to you after class about homework, a paper, or the lab itself without hesitation. I may not have leared a whole lot in lab from him, but I would love to take another class with him. Very Nice guy. They don't make these bio classes easy yall.. get over it. I'll get a C-B in this class.

CRAZY MAN THAT WILL GET YOU INTERESTED AND INVOLVED

He is a good teacher and his tests are not that hard. Just read through the powerpoints and do the homework and you'll do fine. The lab papers are impossible to get an A on so don't count on it. Class was ok and I would recommend him.

Lonzarich is a great professor who cares about his students. Although quirky and unclear at times, he's a complete genius! This class took place in the Bahamas and it was AWESOME! If uever wanna take a class that's fun, exciting and FULL of learning, take BIOL 320! He's the best professor for this class! You won't b sorry! Go to class, take notes!

Not too hard. If you just study your notes you'll do fine. Minimal textbook use.

Awesome teacher, more than willing to help. Tough grader though

People take biology thinking it is easy,well its not. He'll help you if you show that you care about the class and your future as a biologist. Do you think he'll waste his time on students that don't care.There are to many that do care and need help to waste his time on ones that don't care until they get a bad grade.See him quick and see him ofte

Lonzarich was awesome. He is really nice and he gets really involved in his labs. He takes us out for coffee and he even paid for me. He is a fish guy so if you like fish at all he will be your best friend. I like how he teaches and strongly recommend him to you.

Very helpful if you have any questions.

I really enjoyed Lonzarich. He is really excited about the material he is teaching and even though he can be unclear, he is more than willing to clarify if you go into his office hours. He expects you to be able to think critically and to keep up with the reading, but if you do that, you shouldn't have too much trouble as long as you put time in.

the guy's a saint!! he's super nice and helps out students. you get on his good side and your set. i thought his lectures were helpful yet dry. sit next to someone you know so you don't doze off too much. tests are challenging but if you study you should be fine. guy loves fish too. meet in his office he loves talking to students.

Awesome professor! He is, by far, the best professor I had this last semester. He's extremely approachable and he likes to joke around with his students as well. Lectures vary- some are boring and some are actually really interesting. Tests are difficult but as long as you study the lectures and study guides you should be able to pull off an A!

Great professor all around. His lectures can be ambiguous at times but overall he gets his points across. He is the only professor that I know that stayed up to 2:00 A.M. on the night before tests answering questions from students. That alone won my respect. He is also a great professor to do undergrad research with.

Professor Lonzarich is one of the most helpful professors I have ever met. He organized extra meetings to help review for the difficult exams, and made sure we understood the concepts. He's a nice, intelligent, and entertaining professor that I definitely recommend to those taking Bio110.

Lonzarich is a great lecturer, passionate about the material, and is very willing to help outside of class and answer question. This class is not easy, don't expect him to spoon feed you and change your diaper, you're a goddamn college student. Read the book, know the associated vocab, understand the tables and equations. An A is not impossible.

If you don't have something nice to say about Lonzarich then SHUT UP! He is the best professor at uwec hands down. Trust me, he genuinely cares about students and will help you succeed, and he's very approachable. Take Lonz ppl!!

Great professor. He's very clear in lecture, and always has lecture slides online beforehand. Extremely willing to help and answer questions. He's clearly passionate about what he does.

Dr. L is GREAT! I took BIO 100 with him (general bio for teachers) and he was super helpful! I was so nervous going into this class because I struggled in biology in high school, but Dr. L understood that we weren't Bio majors! His tests weren't too bad, just had to put in effort and study! Had 3 exams and final. Easy weekly online homework!

Dr. Lonzarich is a great professor! He really wants to see his students succeed! Although I am not doing well in the class, Dr. Lonzarich has done everything in his power to help me. I just don't understand biology. I would highly recommend Dr. Lonzarich to any student needing to take a biology course.

Dr. L was easily my favorite professor this semester. He is very passionate about biology and genuinely wants you to succeed. Homework online is pretty easy, but his exams are difficult, but if you utilize the study guides on D2L you should do fine. Attendance for lecture isn't mandatory, but it is encouraged if you want to do well TAKE DR. L!

Dr. L is my favorite prof at UWEC. He is passionate about Biology which makes the lectures fun & interesting.He understood that we weren't Bio majors, so he didn't bore us with in-depth Bio. He is concerned with every one of his students. I had gotten a bad grade on a previous test, & he pulled me aside and met with me to discuss the test & improve

He is most definitely my favorite teacher this semester. He is very enthusiastic and thorough. I changed my major to biology because of this class. I loved it. Dr. L is a great teacher. If you have the chance, take Dr. L's class!!!!!

Dr. L was is an amazing professor! He is very passionate about biology (& fish) and truly cares about his students. He always offered review sessions and made sure the work load was a fair amount. He understood that we are not bio majors and made my least favorite subject one I actually enjoyed! If you put in the effort, he will too. Take Dr. L!

Dr. Lonzarich is a great guy, very personable but his lectures get a little scattered. His test a very difficult, I consider myself a good student and work hard for my grades, but I received lower scores than I intended to. I would suggest him as a professor, just be prepared to work.

Dr. Lonzarich makes class fun. He is a very interesting person and clearly understands that this is a basic biology class. He says "this will be on the test" and takes questions from lectures and from the book. Overall, he made the class worth while.

He one of my favorite professors! He is very passionate about biology which makes it fun to learn about. The tests aren't difficult if you go to class everyday and take good notes. It also helps to go to the review sessions that he holds. The tests are curved which makes them much easier. I would highly recommend him as a professor.

Very passionate, kind, and a gifted teacher. I loved his teaching style and was never bored in his class. However, I found his tests to be the hardest I have ever done. I worked really hard on homework, and test prep, and struggled on every test. My advice would be to do his review sheets then go to all of his review sessions. He's very helpful.

Lonzarich is a cool guy, he really knows his material. He tries to draw animals on the board but they look like boxes. The material of this course is really basic so don't take this difficulty seriously, it would probably be easy no matter who you had. His use of a Pearson online textbook material was somewhat annoying, but it made homework easy

I graduated having many different teachers throughout introductory biology. The catalogs were changing... Dr. Lonzarich is one of the smartest guys on campus for those interested in fish, evolution, ecology, and research. Sometimes he expects a lot from his students but if you show a genuine interest in the material he WILL help you succeed.

I am not a biology major, but I really enjoyed this class. Dr. Lonzarich understood that most of us weren't bio majors and made us only focus on the general idea and didn't get into the finer points of concepts. He really values student input and wants to make sure everyone succeeds if they put in the time and effort.

At the begining of the semester I hated this class. Lonzarich has a lisp and is hard to understand, but once you get used to it and learn how he words test questions he is awesome. He tells a lot of dad jokes and is very passionate about biology. You have a text book but I didn't open it once. He only grades on what he lectures on.

Professor Lonz was great for Bio 105! He cares a lot about his students and makes time to help with course content outside of class. Provides all inclusive review guides and review sessions. Exams are worded differently to bring out biology concepts and are application heavy. Read the textbook!

I loved Dr. Lonzarich as a professor! You could tell he was very passionate about what he was talking about. His tests are a bit difficult but as long as you go to lecture and take good notes you'll be fine.

Dr. Lonzarich is so passionate about biology it is infectious. I came into the class expecting to hate it and ending up loving it. He really wants you to understand and succeed. Although his exams are very hard, he curves them all. Don't expect an easy A from this class, but you if you try, you will do well. I wish I could take his class again.

During lecture Lonzarich is all over the place, he is often very confusing but you can tell he really loves what he teaches. He is a fish biologist- but he'll probably tell you that 60 times on his own. He is very goofy and an awesome guy. Although exams are a little rough, he offers a lot of hw assignments and extra credit to get your grade up!

Dr. Lonzarich is definitely passionate about biology and likes to have fun teaching it. 4 Exams over the semester and a few online homework assignments. Exams are not super easy, but paying attention and taking good notes during lecture will help. This semester, he changed the exams to online. He says not to use notes/book, but lets be real.

Honestly hated bio till I took a class with him

One of the nicest professors ever. He really cares about his students even though its a big lecture. His exams are tough but they're online which makes it better.

Posts audio to lectures so you can catch up if you miss a lecture. The exams are hard but if you show up for daily participation and do the hw its fine. Hes super chill and cares about students and is more than willing to work with you if there is an issue.

Had Lonzarich for Ecology. He used a computer app called Simutext which was a great interactive learning tool. Tests were take home and very heavy, but they were great for learning. He allowed group work on tests, even the final. Passionate and focuses on fish/fresh water.

David deserves, and I cannot stress this enough, a much higher rating than this. All of the exams are taken online, outside of class, and you have a 24-hour window to do them. The class itself wasn't difficult, I think I passed with a B, and I didn't study much. David cares about his students a lot and drops good life advice. G.O.A.T. Respected.

The class is pretty easy to begin with, but he offers study sessions before exams to help students know what to expect on the exam. If you take notes and do the homework assignments (which are straight out of the lecture slides) you should be fine. Attending his homework sessions will give you more insight on the exam (which are all online).

Dr. L is a great man! He is funny and caring. Their are four exams in the class with weekly homework assignments. The exams are online but you still NEED to study and prepare for them. He usually offers review sessions to prepare for the exam and also provides a study great. Exams can be challenging, but ask him any questions! Would recommend!!

He's a very caring professor who is passionate about teaching the material but his exams are harder than you think. Exams are online and you're given about two hours to finish them, but don't take it for granted! Use up all the time to double check your answers. Final exam is optional if you want a better grade on another exam you bombed.

This is the most understanding, smart, but easy professor I've had. Gives you full credit for most things if you try, very difficult exams, but gives multiple tries on the homework. He also makes his own online textbook/notes so no textbook needed which is nice. COVID may have made my experience different than in person but I liked his class.

Professor Lonazarich is a great, caring guy. However, his tests are extremely difficult (Which he is very upfront about) His questions are worded very difficultly, and it's extremely difficult to have consistent test scores. He has an optional final that replaces a test score, which was huge for me. Great guy, hard class, but definitely manageable.

Dr. Lonzarich is a great guy. He is accessible if you have any questions and really cares about his students' success. However, the exams are very difficult, which he did warn at the beginning. Participating in lectures and reading his book are very helpful, and the exams are open note, but you definitely need to know the material.

This class was pretty tough and relied a lot on critical thinking rather than studying. However, the materials did a good job of preparing us for this. Dr. Lonzarich has super entertaining lectures and is very knowledgable about his field. However, this shines through in his test questions that are not entirely suitable for an intro to bio course

He is passionate about his field, but lectures can be hard to follow sometimes. eBird paper is stupid. Exams are difficult even when studied. The Hunt Hill field trip is what boosted my grade so much

He truly cares about what he does. Sometimes he goes off topic in lecture, but usually it is still somewhat biology related. I can tell he is very passionate about his job and wants his students to succeed. Tests are online and you get 2 chances to take them. Weekly homework assignments are pretty easy too. Overall, good prof and class. Easy A.

Awesome teacher. He is good with explaining his lectures, usually lets you out of class early, and he is always in a good mood to teach.

Professor Lonzarich is an amazing instructor, and I would take another class just for his personality! He is very passionate about what he teaches and he gives very good vibes overall. His lectures can be hard to follow sometimes, but he usually repeats what he says and often explicitly tells the class "write this down" to help us for the exams.

Online exams but they are extremely difficult if you do not attend class. good lectures however and very easy to listen to.

This professor is extremely passionate about his work and you'll learn awe-inspiring things here. He's very kind, caring and compassionate. Wonderful opportunities, lots of extra credit & ways to succeed. However, he is very disorganized and his exams are extremely tough, sometimes because they include content not learned yet.

David is an overall amazing person. He is so funny in lectures and he is very understanding. His textbook is free online in canvas. He gives you two tries on tests and quizzes and bonus points can be added to tests depending on your score. As long as you go to class and take notes you will be fine.

Lots of pop quizzes on the reading, but they were graded on participation. He is an understanding and passionate guy. He lacks the structure of traditional courses, but as long as you go to class and take notes you will do well.
