Was a lot of fun as a professor, but I'm sad to say that my i didn't have as wonderful an experience as so many other commerets had. He's a very good professor and you will learn so much from his lectures, but I must say I found his tests to be difficult, often reflecting material he didn't go over, and containing a lot of trick questions!

I really enjoyed Dr. Patuto's BIO Lab class, I will say that if you're taking his online class you will end up emailing him ALOT. He isn't that computer savy so a lot graded assignments were missing on canvas, you have to email him to ask him what your grade is and also on clarity for assignments he wants turned in, he can be finicky but means WELL

Lots of homework
Skip class? You won't pass.

He may be a good teacher in class but online absolutely not. He is super rude and defensive for not knowing the answer to student's questions. Does not update the grade book. He expects us to keep track of our own grades and calculate them ourselves. He gets off tracked easily and is unorganized. He demands students to call him "Dr" and not prof.

Dr. Patuto is a real gem of a professor. If you have the chance to learn from him please do. A lot of quizzes but he is so understanding and will go through EVERYTHING that you need to know.

Dr. Patuto is a great professor! He explains everything very well and gives funny and memorable examples. I took his lab class once a week and there was always a quiz. As long as you study the material he gives you, you will definitely pass his class! Definitely consider taking him, he is great!

Dr. Patuto was a trauma surgeon, so most of his stories involve him telling you about his past and giving you real life examples. His quizzes are suuuuuper easy, since he tells you everything you need to know, and he only grades you based on the quizzes. He's also very funny, and teaches Italian. I plan on taking his Italian class, too.

Great professor he makes learning the material fun and easy. He tells you what to expect on the quizzes, and there is a quiz each week. It was more learning than it was hands on. He is always telling stories and he is very inspiring and motivating. Take him he makes it easy to pass the class. 10/10

I LOVE Dr. Patuto. If you're not doing well in his class, it's because you didn't show up. Weekly quizzes but he tells you what to expect. He has experience as a surgeon so he related a lot of what we learned to real life events. He's funny and cares about you but you need to try and care for him to give you a chance. Attendance matters. Easy A

Don't cheat, or the whole class will get docked. Also, don't speak out about it because he will embarrass you in front of the whole class. He talks about his whole life story and barely teaches the actual reading.
