I loved this class, as long as you come to lecture, you will pass, he makes biology interesting. I would definitely take again.
Easy A. The material is not hard. Just study, and the tests are easy. Would take again.
Learned ALOT of interesting facts. its a good class. Must attend, you need too write good notes, and prepare for exams from notes to do well. and just enjoy the class! NO textbook, hand writes notes on the board, which I loved! Made it simple.
His biology class is fairly easy, as far as sciences can be. As long as you actually pay attention, his tests are exactly what he lectures on. Overall very manageable if you work for the grade you want.
He puts everything you need on the tests on the whiteboard. I'm definitely going to be taking him for another needed class. As long as you study your notes you'll for sure get an A!
This professor was very straight forward, he knew exactly what he was talking about. He would often come to class with nothing but a dry erase marker and lecture for an hour. Very informative and detailed, learned more in his class than 4 years in high school.
At first I was nervous in taking the class because I was never good at Biology, however professor Gaidos made it easy to understand it. He was willing to take extra time to help me with something I didn't understand. Which was very helpful for the exams as well as the quizzes he would provide to us. I would defiantly recommend him to other students
I wish I never spent the money on the book. We never used it. Class lectures were entertaining. Don't miss the lectures, the exams are based solely from the class lecture. The professor provides power points relative to the topic, but the tests are not based on them. Sit close to the front, he speaks softly. Had a hard time answering questions.
Very good professor, teaches the "meat and potatoes", got an A
He gave points for attendance. He answered questions that I posted on line. The lectures were easy to understand and he wrote all key information on the board.
Great Biology Teacher! SIGN UP BEFORE HIS CLASS IF FULL! (You won't want to get any other teacher)
Professor Gaidos was an awesome professor! Wish he could teach the next biology course, but he's great at putting lessons into examples. He reviews for test and he goes over a topic that you don't understand. I would definitely recommend him for anyone. He's great at teaching!!!
This professor has a lot of accent, sometimes he likes to say bad words when he gives he lecture and personally I don't see professionalism when professors do that. He talks very soft. There are 4 exams and a reseach paper. No homework. If you do take this clase study all his notes and Do NOT buy his texbook. We never used it. No extra credit.
Prof. Gaidos is by far the best science teacher I have ever had, with the 3+ years that I have been in universities and taking science courses. I disagree with the rating below me talking about the swearing, I think he is hilarious and keeps the students focused that way! He is a bit quiet, so sit in front. I would highly recommend this teacher.
He writes everything on the board. You don't need a textbook. Really easy
Good teacher. He explains material well and answers questions. He made me laugh often. Show up or its your loss.
Highly recommend! Just show up to class and write what he writes on the board. Test is what he writes on the board. Don't need a textbook. 3 exams 1 final and a research paper. Super easy to get an A. He is willing to help you if you are struggling, again highly recommend if you want an A.
The lectures are interesting, and simple to understand. Professor Gabriel has a sense of humor that I'm sure you'll pick up on. Attendance isn't graded but exams are heavily based on class notes. Great class I would recommend this to my friends.
This Professor was amazing!!! He is very specific on what he teaches, he does reviews before the test. Basically if you pay attention in class and read over your notes you will get an A in this class.
Dr Gaidos was an awesome biology professor. During his lectures he always cracked jokes that helped his students understand the topic more. There are 3 tests a final and one research paper. You just need to study the notes that he puts on the board and you will do fine. I got a C in this course because I didn't study enough. But I recommend him.
Expectations are cut+dry: show up, copy notes, study. Breaks down the course material into simple concepts. Has a great sense of humor - I looked forward to his class. *Handed out our 1st exam in class in order by weight, one by one. We clearly studied more after that to avoid the embarrassment - it was unconventional, but very effective.*
Dr Gaidos is an amazing professor. He is very funny, and he breaks everything down. He gives reviews for each exam. You need to study unless you will not do well. He assigns one paper that is due at the end of the semester. Also take advantage of his office hours, because he is very helpful. I would definitely take another class with this professor
Professor Gaidos is really easy to talk to. If you show up and listen to him (pretty much do what your suppose to do when you go to school) you will get an A in the class. Has a great teaching style and I genuinely enjoyed the class
Good teacher, explained everything but sometimes wouldn't go as in depth as we needed (for best understanding). But fair on the tests, would have study guides and open office hours. VERY SOFT SPOKEN! So get a seat up front or make sure you're paying attention.
I took chemistry for health science with Pr. Gaidos . Very patient , funny, always willing to help and explain over and over if someone doesn't get something. Although he breaks it down for you - the key is not to skip your classes, pay attention and take notes. I enjoyed attending his class. Thank you Professor !
Prof. Gaidos is probably the best Science professor I've had. He explains difficult concepts about the human body very clearly without talking down to students. He is very funny, too! It is clear that he wants you to learn and so he illustrates with simple drawings if concepts are a bit confusing. I love the reviews he does before exams.
He is straightforward with his lectures and is laid back in the sense you get what he's talking about. TAKE NOTES! DON'T SKIP CLASS. The notes are very helpful, review them for tests, questions are what he talked about. As long as you do the work you will pass. Wonderful prof. he works with you to assure your understanding of the course materials.
Prof. Gaidos is one of the most interesting profs I've had. He has a hilarious sense of humor that may take a few weeks to get used to. He is extremely soft spoken, tho is a great teacher. Tests are 100% of your grade and he will not curve. He gives about 2-3 class days to review for tests!! Plenty of time, if you're not ready. Doesn't come easy, but he will def help you. Take him for lab too, easy A.
Professor Gaidos provides all the information needed to succeed in the course. Three exams, final, and paper. Each worth 20% of final grade.
Show up, take notes, pay attention and you'll pass. He writes everything on the board. He also post more info on the material online and post little quizzes you can take for more understanding. Everything is laid out for you. Easy class. He is also really funny. He does speak a little softly so be quiet and listen. If you have a question, ask.
I really loved this Professor super cool and funny.
Prof. Gaidos is a brilliant professor and is low key HILARIOUS. It will take you a few weeks to catch on, but when you do, you will love him. He is very soft spoken, but knows what he's talking about. Grade is based off 3 exams and one final. He is available for office hours, when u need him. Material is tough, so don't slack.
In Nutrition, always go to class. He writes all the notes on the board as you go so write everything. There are 3 tests, 1 paper, and a final. He gives you a study guide the class before the test and goes over everything you have time for or have questions about. Paper is easy if you follow the rubric. No textbook or anything needed! Take him!
Prof is SO straightforward, practically gives you all the questions to the tests. 3 tests, 1 final, 1 paper. Don't ever waste money on a book, just go to class and listen. Need help?- He does office hours! Classes avg 30 minutes long, doesn't waste your time. Easy to understand, hilarious. Online practice quizzes and study guides are all youll need
This class and professor was amazing! He was very straight forward as to what was required of you and the class.
Great proffesor! Do the online quizzes and you'll pass! Take notes!
This is college. If you want an easy A, go back to highschool. If you want a straightforward A, take Gabriel. EVERYTHING on his tests are gone over in class and he explains the ideas extremely well. Sit in the front if you're serious about learning, as he does talk really low. If you cry when you hear a "potty word," do me a favor and transfer.
Awesome professor who always finds a way to make class fun. Hes a great professor to take because he knows how to relate topics in the class to things students will understand.
This is an awesome professor. If you attend every class then there is no way not to get an A. He is funny and keeps it short, sweet and simple. We never used the textbook so don't buy it. He makes the lectures relatable and does review days before every exam. Definitely take him.
Tests are based upon study guides. Absolutely need to study . Take advantage of notes online. Attendance not mandatory, but can boost your grade at end of semester if you have perfect attendance. This class is not easy make sure you show up and study study study.
He posts the lectures online but, going to class is what really makes it all come together. Your grade depends on 4 tests and one paper. You CAN make it without coming to class however, I would highly recommend going to every class because he goes much further in depth with the lesson in class.
I really enjoyed this class with Professor Gaidos! He is highly intelligent, relatable and funny! A great combination for teaching. I really liked the way he presented the information in class and online. There is no excuse why a student should not obtain an A in his class and learn a bunch! I give two thumbs up! :)
I loved his attitude. Classes were fun. However, it's not a comedy show. You have to know the basic math skills like logs, molarity, etc... without practicing + reviewing the basic math concepts, you won't be successful. If you are good on that, then you will get his jokes better, too. Good Luck!
I loved professor Gaidos I would definitely take him again for any other class. He usually alwats let's us out early. He gives great lectures and cracks a lot of jokes.
I love Dr Gaidos I wish he taught more classes. I was lucky to get him for general biology. I am also going to take his nutrition course. If you want an amazing science professor choose Dr Gaidos.
This professor really works with you and your schedule. He tailors his classes to his students learning pace to make sure that everyone understands the material, and the reviews before the tests are super helpful!
I loved Dr Gaidos. If you need any science class or human nutrition Dr Gaidos is the way to go. He is very funny but serious at the same time. He is soft spoken so do not sit to far away from him. If you do not understand something he will always re explain. Also take advantage of his office hours.
I love this guy. If you need a science or nutrition course Gabe Gaidos is the guy to take.
I have taken Professor Gaidos for every class ha taught. I wish he taught every class. If you have the opportunity to take him do so. You will not regret it.
Gabe is amazing. He only assigns one paper, and four tests. He gives amazing lectures. He ties his lectures into reality. He also has a great sense of humor while giving lectures. He a has amazing reviews before exams. His exams are mostly multiple choice, and fill in the blank. MAKE sure you study and copy everything he writes on the board.
Amazing professor for nutrition or a science course.
Great
Love professor Gaidos! Makes class really fun and interesting. Gives practice quizzes online that really help you study for the tests. You can take them as many times as you need to. Also gives all the information you need for tests on canvas. Wish I could take him for all my science classes
Amazing professor. Must take if given the chance.
Great. Highly recommend. Very funny. Always connects course material to the real world.
Fantastic instructor.
Great professor. Show up every day. Take notes. Come to the reviews. Study for the tests. Do the paper. Take advantage of office hours.
Don't buy the book you won't need it EVERRRR. He lectures and writes everything on the board. There's 4 test including final and one paper. Study from quizzes on canvas and you'll do well. I made the mistake of studying from the review he gave out and a lot of the questions were not there.
This class is very math heavy so and you will struggle of you have no math skills. There are only 3 exams and one final. Make sure attend class he writes out all notes on the board, and only lectures on what will be on the test. He gives homework and study guides for each test, but the homework is not graded. no extra credit so make sure you study
Chemistry can be tough, but prof. Gaidos was very thorough and straightforward the way he teaches, simplifing things with analogies that were easily understood. The whole class is lecture but he's funny so it's not boring. The class is math heavy so you must have strong math skills to pass, if you do, it's a breeze. Taking him again for nutrition.
Great teacher. Show up to lectures. Take the notes the professor lectures on. Show up to the reviews. Study reviews. Complete the paper. Take advantage of office hours.
Very awesome, and understanding professor.
Attendance is not mandatory, EVERYTHING is on the modules in canvas Exam reviews are golden Con: your grade is based on 4 exams and a paper 20% each score badly on just one and you drop from an A to B and never recover, my scores Ex 1 89, Ex2 50, Ex3 97, Paper 90% & Final 93. Doesn't allow exam reschedule unless you are at "deaths door or in jail"
Great professor.
Very solid and thorough professor, would recommend to anyone needing to take nutrition or chemistry
Fantastic nutrition professor.
Fantastic. Just copy the notes he shows on the board, and study hard. He is very funny, and entertaining.
Very interesting class.
Best teacher ever.
Very easy general bio course. Highly recommend.
Very easy nutrition course.
Overall he teaches the class well with many analogies. The class is test heavy so 8 hours of studying in the week before your tests is very realistic for this one class. He is very understanding and can curve the grade a little bit if he knows you are going the extra mile as a student. Chemistry is a hard subject in general. Its all about the math.
Great professor. Even though his chemistry class is highly math based and almost 90% of class activities are based on problem solving, he comes up with funny analogies to help you understand the problems. Definitely would take him again.
Just to inform you perspective students this class is actually not very difficult, but it is challenging. However, if you are poor in maths you will need additional assistance. Mr. Gaidos focuses a ton of the course work on maths. If you like a challenge please review, mol, molarity, % concentration. Dont be afraid to ask questions in class.
amazing lectures, but if you don't show up you will struggle. a final exam is required and you will have to write a research paper at the end of the course. easy course if you study and show up to class
He was an okay professor. Although he jokes a lot. Very easy class though if you study and go to office hours.
I would not recommend this professor.
He is a great teacher. He explains the main idea very well. I learned a lot in this class.
Best class ever! I wish all my classes were like this one! I learn a lot from him !
Professor Gaidos makes chemistry easier to understand. He has a great way to simplify complex topics, makes himself available for office visit, and has a good sense of humor so students can learn in a more relaxed environment. Chemistry is not easy, I benefited from his posts on canvas and used the textbook for extra practice.
If you skip class you will be lost... have to go even though he wont count it against you. One of the harder classes I have taken but walking away feeling like I honestly learned a ton. I would take him for anything he teaches. Write down his notes on the board and you will do well.
I had forgotten about a test and took it last minute and failed it, at the end of the semester, I saw I got a 100% on my research paper and noticed I was fairly close to getting a B. I emailed him and asked about the 1.18% I need to get a B in the class, he told me to check my grade again and fight with the haters on Rate My Professor, so I'm ready
Switched from his class on campus to online to work with my schedule and it was one of the best decisions I made. TAKE ALL THE QUIZZES FOR EACH CHAPTER! They are not graded but you will definitely see them on your exams and your final I kid you not! They are very helpful, It's very interesting and I enjoyed this course.
I have taken Gaidos for Biology and Nutrition and seriously best professor I ever had on FSW campus. I wish he taught more courses even if their random. What he teaches in class is exactly what is on tests. He also creates extra in depth lecture notes on his class and posts them online and these can be helpful too for clarity! Literally take him.
What an amazing professor.. I bought the book, but did not read it as much. He provides written lectures (printable) that are so informative and pretty much bullet points of the book. They're easy to read & understand. His humor comes through in his writing. I found myself laughing out loud. Read those and take as many quizzes and you'll get an A!
Gabe was great. If you are easily hurt or easily insulted do not take him.
Amazing professor! He has interesting lectures and a great personality. He answers his emails fast. This class is an easy A if you study hard, he gives you ALL of the material that you need to pass his exams. Overall I enjoyed his class and will definitely try to take him for future classes.
Professor Gaidos is a great guy. He is a little different, but very knowledgeable in the subject. He does have an accent, but nothing that will keep you from learning or distracting. He will do his best to help you to pass the class. You must be there although attendance doesn't count against you. He knows his subject very well.
First off, he made me enjoy Chemistry, I thought I'd never say that. The course layout is unique so it is imperative to take his lab as well. You also must be prepared to work, he doesn't offer bonus or extra credit and your grade is based off 4 tests. To succeed you better be comfortable with college algebra as the course is math heavy.
He made Chemistry enjoyable. The course is math heavy but he makes it understandable and breaks it down for you. You need to have a basic understanding of college algebra. Your grade is based on 4 test ( 3 exams 1 Final). The classes aren't that lecture heavy because he only discusses what you need to know and gets rid of all the fluff.
He made chemistry understandable and enjoyable. Your grade is only 4 tests. His lectures are important and he breaks down the content to make it more understandable. He makes it very clear what is expected and what you need to know for the tests. The course is math heavy so having a good understanding on college algebra is important to do well.
He is an excellent professor, easy to contact and always open to questions his classes are math based. For students struggling with problem solving this is not a good class. He explains the subjects in a easy way to understand and he is clear with his way to grade. I would take him again.
Great General bio professor.
He is an awesome professor. You definitely do have to try. He only gives 4 grades and they are all exams. So no room for mistakes. But he cares about the students and offers one on one if you need it. He is also hilarious. Definitely would recommend but not an easy A.
I love Professor Gaidos! Easily the best professor I've ever had. Everything he lectures on is on the test. He doesn't try to trick you. He is a bit quiet but you get use to that quickly. He is hilarious and a great professor! Take notes and study them! Easy A if you put in the effort.
Funny. Grade is based on a few tests and an essay. Show up, take notes, and study a bit. You'll be okay.
I found him to be rude, unprofessional and just in general disliked him. He comes in quickly goes through the lecture and then as soon as he dismisses us, he is out the door so no one can ask him questions. You tube was my teacher this semester, not him.
People can say whatever they want about him, but he truly is great. He cant make the class more straight forward. EVERYTHING he writes on the board is on the test (not much), no textbook, 4 test. I feel silly that people cant just follow simple directions by him. He has office hours by apt and always willing to help. FOLLOW SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS!
He makes class fun and enjoyable even though the material can be confusing. YOU NEED TO HAVE A STRONG MATHEMATIC UNDERSTANDING. If you are weak in math then good luck trying to pass. I would recommend reviewing basic mathematics formulas and concepts to prepare. Can be very sarcastic at times but will break down the lesson for you to understand.
All my life hated chemistry... Professor Gaidos made me not only love chemistry, but understand it. Knowledgeable, respectful, erudite with sense of humor. Come to the class, take notes, ask questions (as many as you want), review your notes and you'll be in perfect shape. Need to know some math: percentage, exponential, log (I didn't know logs).
I did manage to pull off an A, however, I felt like I spent 90% of the semester teaching myself using various tools online. Some find his sense of humor funny, I found it to be demeaning. The course is 3 test grades and 1 final cumulative exam. Class is EXTREMELY math based. I was uncomfortable asking questions as he tended to be snide about it.
Received an A but had no idea what my grade was based on 14 labs, a quiz after each one and nothing graded/returned until transcript upload. Even lab quizzes are EXTREMELY math based. Questions generally garnered a sarcastic remark rather than an answer. I absolutely did not appreciate the teaching style of no book, no PP, only his notes on board.
Everyone is crazy! He is an awesome.. He has a funny sense of humor! He put everything you need to do on the board. He has review days and put up mock exams! I enjoyed his class!
If you don't know basic math do not take this course. If you do it is an easy A! He is an easy grader and very funny!
I LOVE HIM. omg he was by far the best professor ive ever had. The way he teaches with his sarcasm omg love it. his class is easy if you out in the work and do the QUIZZES!!!
Excellent professor. Teaches clearly and understandable. You won't fall asleep in his class because is very dynamic. Made syllabus, test, and projects easy for the student. I have learned a lot in this class. has a good sense of humor. Respectful and professional. I love the way he teaches nutrition. I will recommend his class to future students.
He is so funny and applies nutrition to real life application so it makes sense. He literally comes in and brings dry erase markers that it. His whole lecture is written on the board which worked great for me.. he posts all modules on line so you can access the book online.. do the practice quizzes and vocabulary practice and you will be fine.
I took Professor Gaidos online. He gave us short slides to read over with all the information needed. He then gave 10 question quizzes that you can do as many times as you want. These quizzes are directly from the test. If you do the quizzes youll pass the tests and the class no problem. Definitely recommend this class, youll learn a lot!
If you are going to take this class online Professor Gaidos should be your first choice. You will have to read, read, read and read. He provides study notes for the midterms and final as long as you study you should have no problem passing.
If you miss or dont pay attention you will fail this class but the professor does teach in a way that if you take diligent notes and ask questions you will be successful. Hes very laid back, funny, and helpful. I would recommend taking a math course before this class if youre not as refreshed but overall its a interesting and fun class!
He only grades using four tests and one research paper, lectures tend to drag out but he is funny so its okay.
Professor G is literally the BEST PROFESSOR ive ever had. Im talking about from k-college. He honestly takes the hardest subjects and dumb down the work. yeah hes a bit sarcastic but that makes his class that much better! best learning environment!! take him for nutrition and chemistry kids!!!
The corona virus happening affected me only in this course. I do not own a laptop only an Ipad so for proctored exams go to the testing center on campus. Campus & Libraries are closed. I reached out to the professor but he wasn't understanding. An 0 on the exam dropped me to a C. now i have to withdraw. after working hard all semester. Depressing!
Dr. Gaidos is a fantastic professor. He is caring, friendly, reachable, and will help you in any way he can. I took him for HUN1201 during COVID-19 and received a 98% grade. He provides EVERYTHING you need on Canvas as a resource. It is up to students to do the work. Learning is not passive. Take him. You won't regret anything.
Professor Gaidos was great! He talks very quiet so sit up front. He comes to class with markers and writes everything you need to know on the board including pictures
I loved this professor. I took this class in person and well COVID happened and we had to move to online. He was so understanding of us but he wasnt going to baby you either. In class he is HILARIOUS and his PowerPoints are actually helpful. He has quizzes and quizlets to practice on and he doesnt play any tricks on the test. I loved this man.
Yes, you will be required to study. And yes, you will wonder if it's worth it. But, it is. This class was funny (prior to COVID-19 coming in and shaking things up) and even though there aren't chances to bring up your grade--his tests were do-able, not impossible. Study and you'll have nothing to worry about
I really enjoyed this class. The grading for this class is composed of a research paper on a diet, 3 exams, and a final exam. I just made sure I studied his lecture posts and take the practice quizzes multiple times, like 30-40 times, and that is how I got 100% on all 3 exams and a 99.7% on the final exam. This class is more than doable.
Even though this was an online class, I learned a lot and appreciated the professor's clear cut set up of his platform. As with any other class, it is your responsibility to read, take notes, stand on your head, or whatever it takes to learn material. No extra credit is given, so just prepare! I also enjoyed his injection of humor in posts.
Very unprofessional mentions drinking and getting wasted on a number of lectures. Took as an online class and he would open material late Sunday night or Monday for modules that are due on Friday, allowing no weekend work. Sometimes Tues if Monday was a holiday. I thought that was the idea of an online class, to work when it convenient for you.
Nice guy. Cracks too many jokes. Makes you not want to ask questions. If you dont show up. Good luck.
Professor Gaidos was exceptional. His lectures (written) were engaging and funny. Very clear expectations right from the start. No surprises. I would absolutely take him again.
I took the online HUN1201 class. The weekly discussions were a bit annoying since we were doing work that we were not being graded on, but they did give you the opportunity to learn more about nutrition. The practice quizzes are AWESOME! The professor was understanding and easily accessible. I learned a lot in class and recommend this professor.
Professor Gaidos was great! Online HUN1201, not a lot of assignments, a research paper, 3 exams, and a final. There is a lot to read and learn, you will need the book to understand the concepts. Professor gives a great lecture with good humor, he is an enjoyable professor and if you don't do well in his course, it's because you didn't try.
Professor Gaidos is a great professor! He is easy going and very understanding. You get graded on a few things but he is very clear on what material needs to be covered in order for you to succeed. You are definitely able to pass with an A as long as you follow his criteria. He makes the class interesting with weekly discussions and is humorous.
Great professor that easy to contact and responds quickly. His class is set up very student friendly with a clear understanding of what's need to study without overloading. The least stressful class I've had so far. Highly recommend!
I took this class expecting for it to exhaust me through out the semester, but over time realized this is not as hard. As long as you take the time at least once a week to read the new modules, and study for the exams.
Professor Gabe did not require a textbook for the class, and did an amazing job explaining the material that there was not a need for a textbook. He included supplemental YouTube videos and practice quizzes that really helped in learning the material. I took the course online and felt like I got an in class experience.
I took his gen chem class in fall of 2019. Im not the best student to have due to lack of motivation, but after going to office hours to get more in depth help, my grade started to go up from a low C to a high B. He was hilarious in class, always tries to include other students, and help everyone that WANTS to be helped.
The presentations were very clear and easy to understand, and had almost everything you needed for the test. He also gave very helpful non-graded practice quizzes to prepare you for tests. Grades based on 4 tests and a short research paper. Professor Gaidos seemed very nice and funny. He definitely gave you everything needed to be successful.
Professor Gaidos is amazing and hilarious. You do not need the book, he provides class lectures on canvas. STUDY his lectures ,QUIZLET and take module quizzes and you will do great! You will have one essay to write and 3 major tests. I ended up with a B+ in this class with a newborn! If I can pass whilst having a newborn you can too! :)
Very caring and understanding! And also as long as you keep up with the homework and quizzes and discussions you will be fine !!!
Bring your algebra skills and a few different colored pens. Attending lecture is imperative, but the modules online are helpful to hit it home. Dr. Gaidos is knowledgeable and has a knack for analogies. Go to class, take notes because he puts alot of effort into standing at the whiteboard and working out problems. Awesome professor.
While taking this class required for the Nursing program, I would have liked to actually been taught something. He does not give any lectures at all. If you want to teach yourself everything about nutrition, he's the professor to have. I feel like I could have just bought a nutrition book and learned the same amount I did in this class.
He was a great online teacher, easy to reach and talk to when you need him. He gives you handouts and study guides and makes sure you know what will be covered on the tests. If you do your part it is easy to get an A just study what he says to!
Professor Gabe's nutrition class was fun! I learned a lot. He responds quickly to emails and his class teaches you what you need for this class. If you study the quizzes as he said you will pass with no problems and will get a good grade.
Dr. G was a very amazing teacher, he only has 4 grades and they all count. He provides practice quizzes & if you studied those as many time preferably 20x, youll pass the class no problem. You cant expect not to study & pass, if you study & put the effort youll get an A. He responds to emails quickly & gives you feedback. 100% recommended.
He makes some materials easy, and he shows them in step. Sometimes I felt like he assumed that we already knew how to do certain things. If we didn't understand anything, he would say ask, but sometimes I was scared to ask because he would say, it's easy, you guys should get it. Practice the material that he teaches on your own, and you'll get it.
Online class. quick response. Over all very nice. Interesting course. He says you don't need a text book because he writes his own lessons but a some test Q's are not mentioned in his version but they are in the practice quizzes. DO THE PRACTICE QUIZZES 20+ TIMES IF YOU WANT TO PASS. only graded on 5 things( 3 exams, a paper and final)
I haven't seen a single "funny" thing about Prof. Gaidos. He basically calls his students idiots, Ie. Announcement he made saying most of the students posts are "completely outlandish". You ask him a question, and he responds in a disrespectful manner. I will pass this class because I will do the work, but I don't recommend taking him!
if your skip class you WILL NOT pass, he lectures heavy but lectures on what he thinks you should know. He isn't that great at explaining things but that's okay. His test questions are based off of lectures especially once you get into equations.
all you have to do is show up one day a week and spend maybe 30mins-1hr in the lab he helps guides you to what you need to do and just take little quizzes each Friday and you'll pass!
He is a great professor! His sarcasm is so funny to me, but dont be scared to ask any questions. He loves helping his students. Make sure to go to his office for any extra help and read all of the material. Dont forget to do all of the the practice quizzes and take notes.
There are only 5 things that are being graded ( 3 exams, a research paper, and the final). It's super easy, and his powerpoints are clear in what you need to know. I recommend you retake his quizzes 15+ times until you master all of the info. This was a stress free course, most laid back class taken this semester. He also replies really fast, btw.
I took this class for the first time; He reaches the class like you already suppose to know half the assignments. I felt really unwelcome and slow in his class. If you're going to take his class, make sure you already know most health topics.
He is a great Professor!! Class is easy no homework the discussion posts are not counted towards your grade so they are not mandatory. The only grades in this class however are the 3 Exams, Final, and a Paper. He provided study guides for each of the exams and gave you the paper assignment weeks in advance! Overall great class
HUN1201 was a pleasant class to take online. Only four grades for the entire semester. Work load was appropriate. Especially if you have a full time job. I really enjoyed his lectures. Lots of humor and easy to learn. Highly recommend Professor Gaidos
He has you questioning your self about what you are putting into your body
Good teacher, make sure you read the textbook as all the questions for the tests arent on the presentation provided. Also, repeat the quizzes throughout the semester and you should be solid for the final!
Modules had humor in them. I went vegan after taking this class lol. Great information. Just 3 exams (open book), 1 paper, and a proctored final. Practice the quizzes. Highly recommend.
Professor Gaidos was really good. He wants you to succeed. Please do not be afraid to ask questions. He makes time for his students and his office hours were very helpful. Take notes, ask questions, and attend office hours if you still dont understand and youll do fine!
He writes on the board as he lectures as opposed to power points. He makes sure you know the material and is available if you need help. He brings humor to his class. I highly recommend him!
Very cool professor, which made going to class pretty easy. Test are very straight forward and easy. Overall a very good class and professor
He is very good at keeping your attention during lectures. Human Nutrition was graded by 4 tests and 1 paper, all worth 20%, no makeups and no extra credit at all. Regardless a good professor and he does his best to make sure you leave confident about what you learn.
Clearly outlines what is expected of you. Follow along in class and know everything in the study guides he sends out and you should get an A.
Professor Gaidos puts humor into his lectures. He explains things as many times as necessary and makes sure everyone understands. The class grade was based on 4 exams, no homework. Pay attention to his lectures and check his study guides and you'll do great.
Professor Gaidos is an amazing professor and he knows what he's talking about. He's super funny and you only have four tests but he gives study guides which help you a lot. He breaks down material so it's easy to understand and he's patient with questions you may have. He genuinely wants his students to do well and will help them succeed.
Professor Gaidos was a great teacher and made his class really easy with the practice quizzes he provided.
Great teacher, does require a lot of reading, but the material is so helpful and understanding. I enjoyed taking this class, he provides a lot of resources that will help you succeed on his tests. This teacher is definitely recommended.
I think he is a good professor and communicate very well with his students.
Easy class for the most part. Only graded on 5 exams so you need to do the practice quizzes to get ahead. Reading was easy. Some math skills needed but overall not a hard class
Good Professor explains everything clearly, so course was easy to follow. Always do your reading and take the practice quizzes as much as possible and you should do fine. Exams are proctored, initial few are open book though.
There are only 5 grades in the course (each a test). I got a C because I didn't read the powerpoint for one test and got a bad grade. The only thing you need to do to pass the tests are do the practice quizzes. If you put 20 minutes aside everyday to do these quizzes then you should have no trouble passing with an A.
Dr. Gaidos is a great professor! He made it very understandable and gave us everything to be successful. The layout was easy to follow. It really changed my life with how I take care of myself. I recommend him and this class to everyone whether you have to take it or not! Plus, he makes it comical and humor is always a plus!
This was my first online class. I was very nervous & wasn't sure I would enjoy it. I was so pleasantly surprised by the enjoyment and amount of things I learned from this professor's class. HE was wonderful, so responsive, such amazing lectures with humor & facts in place to keep your attention. The class so was fun. ALWAYS DO THE PRACTICE QUIZZES!
Definitely take Professor Gaidos. He explains really thoroughly and provides more things for further understanding in canvas. If you ever have a problem and email him he replies in a timely manner. Best Professor I have had in college.
The professor was wonderful, made the class easy and enjoyable.
The professor is "what you see is what you get". The syllabus is exactly what the class is like. The final grade is worth 5 exams. Each is worth 20 percent and YOU CANT MISS THEM. 4 of them are proctored. The class is easy just do your work and review your quizzes.
I was skeptical about taking this class online at first but now I would recommend taking this professor to anyone. There are only 5 exams and those are the only grades that are put in. Throughout the semester there are discussions and practice quizzes, participating will help you out tremendously! He is caring and wants you to succeed.
Professor Gaidos is amazing! All of the course material is easily organized. There are only 5 grades in the entire semester, one for each exam, but participating in the discussions help your score. DO YOUR PRACTICE QUIZZES A MILLION TIMES, and they will literally be the same questions on the exams. Super interesting course, and a great teacher!
You don't need the book, you get what you on canvas and lectures. Take the quizzes multiple times!! He's a great teacher who knows his stuff.
There are five grades throughout the course consisting of all exams. The exams are straightforward, as they are all based on the practice quizzes provided. SO MAKE SURE TO TAKE THE PRACTICE QUIZZES MULTIPLE TIMES!!! Optional discussion posts are available; they will give a slight boost if you're on the borderline of a letter grade. Great class.
His class is only based on exams, if that isn't for you I don't recommend the class. He doesn't respond quickly, I had something happen and missed an exam I took a 0 for an exam because he wanted me to prove so much while I was going through it .You have discussions and stuff but it doesn't do anything for your grade. Just make sure you study.
Great class! Weekly discussions and quizzes (non-graded, but quiz questions are from exams) keep you engaged. The two last exams are closed book and the last one is a collective quiz. Don't forget to study early!
Gives clear explanation of curriculum and is an easy A if you take notes and study
Professor G was great! I have a bachelors degree already and had to go back to take chemistry as I hadn't taken it as an undergrad. His course was easy to comprehend for what most would consider a very difficult topic. As long as you show up, pay attention in class, and do the recommended practice quizzes you will finish with an A in this class.
This professor is great! As long as you study a little bit, you will receive a good grade. The professor is really good at simplifying complex information. There are only tests, no assignments, but all questions are multiple choice. The teacher gives good lectures, provides easy-to-follow material on canvas and very helpful practice quizzes.
If you want a A in this class, you have to take professor Gaidos. He is a really good professor, he makes everything so easy. He gives you the exactly info that you need to know. I would take him for sure again.
I recommend Prof. Gaidos. His lectures are engaging, and he breaks down the content so that you fully comprehend what he is presenting. This course is beneficial for Anatomy. He tells jokes and sets a good example for you to follow in order for you to remember the material. He also provides you with all of the information you require for the exam.
Professor Gaidos is extremely knowledgeable in the curriculum that was discussed and makes the classes very easy to sit in and learn. I would definitely take him for my other science classes if I can. He is a great professor and I would recommend taking him if you have that option.
This class is based on 5 tests. You have too make sure to be studying for them. Professor Gaidos Kinda lays off as rude to me, which I did not like. I would always respectfully email him yet he was rude. Content can be difficult.
Please ignore the negative reviews. It was mostly test exams and discussions.Take the practice quizzes over and over because they are the same test questions. It's seriously impossible to fail. He takes in consideration for your effort in the discussions and will elevate your grade, which is rare from professors.Overall, great course and professor!
I would
He is the best professor. I would recommend to take this professor. Just keep doing the practice quiz and the exam is the same.
Professor Gaidos is great. If you are taking the online course, textbook is not required. The content is available on Canvas. You may take the practice quizzes unlimited times and the same questions will be on the exams. No extra credit, but participating in discussion posts will increase your grade. 3/5 tests, you may use notes.
Professor Gaidos was pretty nice, the course was decently easy if you read the modules and studied. He answered questions when asked, STUDY because the last two exams are NOT open book. The only grades were the five exams. Discussions were optional but unclear if you had to participate in them ALL for 2.5% bump in your grade or just some.
If you are like me and want a professor that just wants to know if you understand the information presented, this is the professor for you! There is no superfluous tasks. Just the facts.
This course online is graded only by tests but he provides practice quizzes to take on every section and they help a lot. Study with those and you should do great!!
This class is definitely a challenge to those who do not like to study but is a fun class overall. Tests are very straight forward you get practice quizzes with the exact questions that appear on the tests. Only assignments are 5 tests throughout the course.
Professor Gaidos was/is professional and offers clear instructions. If you read the chapters and do what is required, you should pass.
Enjoyed and learn many new things w/ this class.
You will have only 5 assignments. They're all "exams", so you need to do well on 3 out of 5. The first 3 are open book, last 2 are not. As long as you read his presentations and do the practice quizzes, you should be fine. This is one of the only classes I actually enjoyed and learned a lot of beneficial information. Would definitely take again.
Gaidos is a fantastic teacher! He grades tests, don't worry. He provides practice quizzes with exact test questions for each chapter. Just be cautious as he uses Proctorio. However, he is helpful and understanding when Proctorio issues arise. Assignments are due on Friday nights: practice quizzes and one discussion post per chapter. 100% recommend!
This class was actually really fun and I enjoyed learning the material and he's very funny. I would take this class again for sure!!! Do your practice quizzes and take notes for sure.
He is a great professor. His lectures are easy to follow and simple. Very knowledgeable and he also provides great material in canvas. He provides mock tests which is extremely helpful before tests. He writes everything on a whiteboard so be sure to take notes. Notes would be helpful to study before the test.
Great professor! Would always add little jokes in our notes. He explained everything in a very digestible way ;) Study the practice quizzes before tests!!
Professor was great! I would 100% recommend and take another one of his courses. He is very fair and tests are about actual things learned and taught in the course.
The dude by far has one of the best classes in FSW. If you like only tests no homeworks or random participation grades that lower your grades His tests are a breeze once you get the hand of what he;s testing you on. He likes throwing markets at the wall if they run out of ink and says random cuss words out of nowhere that makes everyone laugh.
Pretty easy class, 5 exams but 3 are open note and quiz's aren't graded and discusion posts are optional
Only five exams throughout the semester which is going to determine your grade, 20% per exam. Make sure to redo the quizzes until you are confident you are going to get a good grade on the exam. The discussions are optional but helpful; participating will help you remember certain information. Lectures are long but enjoyable.
He's very accessible. The course was decently easy if you read the modules and studied - his modules are all you need. STUDY because the first 3 are open book BUT the last two are NOT. "Test heavy" because the only grades were the five exams. Discussions were optional but give you a 2.5% bump in your grade. Would definitely take again.
Took Professor Gaidos for HUN1201 online. He presents the material in a manner that makes it very easy to absorb, understand, and remember. He has great dry humor that is reflective in his presentations. Only things graded are the 5 exams (3 open book/2 closed book) there is extra credit through the weekly discussion post. Would take him again!
Straight forward what he expects from his students! Great information on material!
Weekly assignments were very informative. He did not require the textbook, which helped save money. 5 exams for the course, but all were easy to pass, as long as you study. Highly recommend. Took him for an online course.
There was only 5 tests for this entire class. The first three were open book. Extra credit for extra 5 points added to final grade at the end. I did not do that and still ended up with a 92. Did not require class to get the textbook. He uses a lot of emojis! He would summarize each chapter and add his own (hilarious) tidbits which helped me
The material is informative and to the point. Study is key. He is pretty straight forward regarded what is expected. Read the syllabus and follow it. I would definitely take him again.
Overall, all chapters were detailed with information that was comprehensible. I think not having to read pages upon pages made a big difference for me.
Professor Gaidos had great lectures that can be accessed at anytime anywhere. The small nongraded quizzes at the end of each chapter can be retaken as many times as you'd like. These quizzes will help a lot towards the end exams. This was a fun class overall and I would definitely take this class again. Great professor!
Probably my favorite prof of all time. Online material is filled with little jokes and personal anecdotes, made online learning so much fun. Pulls test questions from quizzes, and first 3 tests are open book & note. Still study, tests are timed & the textbook is finicky sometimes. If you're a top scorer he emails you to congratulate you. 11/10
Professor Gaidos' lectures are engaging and informative. The nongraded quizzes help reinforce the material. unstuckstudy ai was a great study tool alongside the textbook-free format. Overall, a fun and manageable class.
All you do is read his weekly, fun, informative lectures, take an unlimited-attempt practice quiz, and move on. No assignments, just ungraded tasks like scoring 100% on the quiz and participating in discussions. Grades come from 5 exams, worth 20% each. The first three are open notes, and he offers plenty of study resources for success.
Took HUN1201 in person. All of the material needed for class is provided in modules. Be prepared with colored pencils and a decent notebook as this class is all handwritten notes. What is covered in class and in modules I what's on the exams. 4 class exams and the final. Take the practice quizzes in the modules. This is the easiest exam prep advice
Professor Gaidos was amazing! His exams are very clear and he gives you a study guide with the material that will be given on the exam. Just go to lecture and take good notes and you will do well. He is very easy to understand, to the point with the material and funny!
The professor was very easy going, easy to understand, good way of teaching.
I took his class in my first semester; it was quickly my favorite! His grading is clear, and it's based on 5 easy exams, each worth 20% of your grade—3 being open notes!! His lectures were also all made by him and are simple and very fun to read!! I can't recommend him enough, and you won't regret taking his class. 10/10
He is very easy and explain everything.
The lectures are well written and the students can learn more from each of the subjects in the class. The professor is also very knowledgeable and helpful in their discussions. The teacher has been very supportive.
He was a great professor. Every class he gave a very in depth and thorough lecture about the topic. He gives study guides, practice quizzes, and answers any questions. There is no homework the only grades are test, so you definitely need to study. The only flaw is that some of the material on the test wasn't what he learned in class.
This is a good professor he makes thing easy to understand. I plan to take his chemistry class as well in the fall
Professor Gidos was outstanding. He explained topics clearly, always answered our questions, and made classes engaging and fun. The practical quizzes allowed us to reinforce what we learned with unlimited attempts. There was no homework, which let us focus on in-class learning. He was always willing to help. Highly recommended!
Amazing Professor, He has excellent way of delivering his lectures. makes everything easy to understand and explains everything very clear in his lecture and answers questions.
Professor Gaidos was amazing! He hand writes all of the notes on the whiteboard in class. He is super funny and makes class very engaging. He also puts practice quizzes in canvas for each lecture, which are the same questions that are on the exams. There is no homework for this course either! 100% recommend I learned so much and it was fun!
Is a respectful and laid-back person and can be understanding in retaking an exam if it is an actual serious matter, such as a loved one passing away. His class was only graded based on 5 exams, so you will need to study very well and lock in, but he gives you practice quizzes that are similar to the test, that change questions every time.
This class did not require a textbook which was very helpful for us. His practice exams and quizzes that were provided were also beneficial for our learning experience.
Overall the professor was very easy going. It was all in the means of memorization. All of the test materials are consistently shown throughout the course and as long as you study you can easily get an A! I asked him to round up my 89 as well and he did! Very sweet.
Professor Gaidos is hilarious! You'll pass his tests if you show up to class and do his practice tests on canvas. He doesn't test you on anything he doesn't teach you, and he's very knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend!!
My type of professor. Lectures were notes -attendance in lecture is not mandatory, but you will have a hard time if you do not show up for class because there is no textbook used. Lab IS mandatory. He was very knowledgeable and funny but also used good analogies to help you learn. The modules, practice quizzes and practice tests are invaluable.
Professor Gaidos's class is one of my favorite classes I took for the Spring sem. All his lectures are so easy because he dumbs it down. The only things that are graded are the 5 proctored exams, worth 20% each. After the lecture, he would do a quiz (not graded) based on the topic, HELPFUL! A study guide is also provided! DISCUSSIONS are extra cred
I really enjoyed the course materials and learning objectives. However, Professor Gaidos was a little bit on the rude side.. Not only that, but i didn't feel like he had my best interest in mind.
Study the material, and do the practice quizzes over and over and over because he uses them for exams. If you do that you will be just fine. Very solid class and great professor!
He is a great professor. His class was very easy, just do the little quizzes every module, multiple times to pass the exams. 3 out of the 5, you can use notes on, just make sure you take good notes. The exams are the only thing that make up your grade, so do good on those. Also, do the discussions for extra credit. Overall, easy class
The only grades you will recieve in this class are based on five exams. These exams are lengthy, ranging from 90-120 questions, and PROCTORED. The BEST and ONLY WAY you should study is by redoing the practice exams. The only questions on the tests are the same exact ones from the midterm. first two tests are open note, but the remainder are not.
Overall, this class is very easy if you try. He gives practice quizzes and majority of the questions are on the exams. The five exams are 20% of your grade; however, 2 are open-note. My advice is to do the practice quizzes multiple times at the end of the modules, and you will get an A guaranteed. Very nice professor and his lectures are engaging!
One of my favorite professors. He makes it easy to understand the concept; you have to put in the time and effort, of course, don't miss a lecture because he covers a lot of material in one class. He is hilarious, especially when the markers don't work. There's never a dull class with him.
Professor Gabriel is one of the best human nutrition professors. He explains everything clearly, makes learning enjoyable and truly support his students. I had hand surgery this semester, and it was very stressful, but professor Gabriel helped me understand the class and stay confident.
He knows his stuff so don't be afraid to raise your hand during lecture and ask questions, might get a vague response at first but don't let that stop you from asking follow-up questions or attending office hours. DON'T miss lecture. Professor G was a delight and he loves his emojis, I'd take him again. ALWAYS use the study guides for each exam.
Such an easy class because he explains so well and the tests are exactly like the study guide
Easy class and the professor is amazing. Just go to class, study, and practice the study guides posted on canvas over and over and you'll get an A
