Easy class! Great teacher, easy exam (get to use your notebook) combined with a good lab score, you'll get an easy B or A.

I guess his upper division teaching is different form undergrad. He comes into class and starts lecturing. Don't expect a study guide for the tests. No notes or open book test. If you caught cheat, you may as weel say goodbye to CSULA. Other than being hard, you learn alot his class is not boring.

if you like hot guys ... Yeah. Something for you to look at for 10 weeks ;).

very easy and helpful.

Great teacher...you won't regret taking the class. Labs can be boring though. He is known to be funny...just don't ****him off.

This is a class that is very hard, because you have to memorize alot of information. He lectures alot and mainly grades you on exams, paper, presentation. But this man gives assignments that will boost your grade and attendance/ participation will help you out. I got a C grade and was happy. Theme F

It was easy because I had already covered the material and needed to take this class as part of my GEs and to review. Loved looking at him the minute I saw him. Tall, dark and handsome. go to his office hours before class and talk to him about questions you have regarding lecture material, don't bother him too much with off tangent questions. has a good sense of humor and kept the class rolling the whole quarter. intuitive yet kind of crazy. my friend too his class and now refers to him as Krazy Kholl

Animal biology was great! Loved labs with Maria, his assistant. Got to work with Beta Male fighting fish and other fun stuff. Good idea to read, review, prestudy, and make a list of questions in advance so that you don't get behind on anything. Study hard and don't be afraid to ask questions, just don't interrupt lectures, wait for him to notice you and ask or go to his office hours and ask or email him. This class is a basic building block for premed and prenursing and prepharmacy majors, so studyhard

Made an otherwise horrible class a bit more palatable. Wasn't exactly the most patient of people, but he was very clear on what he wanted and made sure that tired students didn't fall asleep. He's another (of many) people in the department who's influenced me to go to stay on macro scale and become a biogeographer/forester.

I took this class as an upper division theme class for Theme F. This class was very hard and I thought that it would be mission impossible to pass. Professor Khollesi was very patient and just told me to do my very best on all areas of the class I got a C. I would recommend Professor Khollesi for this class because its an upper division theme class

He's a little bit of a tough grader, doesn't teach very well. I dont' know. It looks like he HATES teaching, he doesn't like students asking questions, his face looks like he's constantly miserable. Other than that, great class. Study hard on your own or in grps

Great professor. Have to work hard for my A but possible with him. He has high expectation but is willing to explain every single question and giving feedback before the due date.

I was forced to take this class and went in with dread. But Khollesi made this class as fun as possible while being completely professional and in the end I ended up loving this class. Highly recommended.

Pretty good teacher. For me, I had to attend every class so I could understand the material. Type up the notes from PowerPoint in small font and tape them in your lab manual for the test. Exams come from mostly from his PowerPoints. You may not have to read the book, but it does help.

attendance not required but test are based on his lectures and the book. NOT OPEN NOTE Exams. 3 Exams. if you want to pass do good on lab and you be ok. his test are not eassy and are long 50 questions. I will recomend to go to class if you want to do good.

nice, you learn a lot and very interactive and clear. Fun class and enjoyed the lecture. He provide lots of examples for non-majors, great professor. I wished others were like him. Good instructors are very rare.

I like this teacher. He knows what he teaches and is a straight, no frills, no nonsense type of guy. Lays out the rules from the beginning, tells you what to expect so you can't complain if you just study. He's also pretty funny and always throws out these quirky examples to make sense of the lessons when it gets hard to understand. I recommend him

I like him as a person and he was helpful. But it was pretty much all lecture so sometimes difficult to stay awake. He does know what he is talking about and has some funny stories. If you were not a nursing student it was difficult - too much info for a 10 week class. My only C at CSULA. But, I did learn a lot.

Amazing lecturer. Learned a lot. You need to study to do well in this class. Highly recommended

This man knows his stuff. Best A&P lab professor. Very strict about cheating so don't even begin with it. Makes sure his students understand all of the anatomical and physiological concepts. Spend 35-49 hours EACH WEEK studying for this class. Do it effectively and you get an A. Not an easy class AT ALL. Lenient grader, in your favor if possible.

Professor Khollesi was awesome. We met once a week, so the lectures were long, but he tried his best to keep us interested. He is definitely willing to help. His tests are straight from the lectures, but I recommend reading as well. BELIEVE HIM WHEN HE SAYS THE FIRST TEST IS THE EASIEST! Grades are truly earned in this course. (Taken as theme.)

This class was overwhelming with information. Too much too much too much. If you do plan to take him, make sure you have enough time in your schedule to spend HOURS on studying to try to pass. First test, everyone did below decently. It's not the teacher, it's the class - but he teaches in overwhelming amount of info in a short period of time.

He is hands down one of the most smartest professors I have had.I felt like I was at a class in Harvard because he's lectures were so clear and amazing. He is a great professor that I definitely do recommend, HOWEVER the class itself is very difficult and time consuming. Try not to take other hard classes with this class, i would take him again

Most boring lecturer you could have, he's very knowledgable but he tends to repeat the same thing over and over. He likes to get off track from the powerpoint, but still finishes going over all the slides. He really makes you learn the material.

This is for non-bio majors and to my surprise it was easy! Of course, you definitely need to review. Professor has an accent but you'll get used to it. He likes to crack jokes and encourages students to go to office hours. 1 in class final and midterm. There are also quizzes due online since it's a hybrid class but It's manageable.

He's the best teacher ever. I used to don't like Biology, but with him, I totally feel I fall in love with Bio. He teaches everything very clear, just come to class, take notes, and pay attention to what he teaches, you will have good grades. His lecture is very very helpful, it reduces time that you can spend for studying at home. Love him somuch

Best prof ever. I have never like Biol, but with him, I am in love with Biol. His lecture is extremely clear since he likes to draw to explain so that students can have concrete picture about physiology. Need to come to class so u dont waste time in reading textbook because he covered every material in his amazing drawing. 20pts EC is given

Professor Khollesi was amazing! I enjoyed every minute in his class. Aced every single exam but I know many who did not do well. Study study study!

Professor Khollesi is the real deal. His lectures are great and help reduce the study time for the course material. This class is hard, so it's up to you to spend time outside of it to memorize the material. Gives 2 Extra credit quizzes. Strongly recommend

For AP1 lab he's ok he does really want you to understand and tries his best to help you and make it easy/understandable. Posts his powerpoints and grades quizzes and practicals on time. Overall he's really good and he's great on updating things to know lists for practicals which is v. important to pass.

This professor goes above & beyond to help out his students, which helps since Anatomy is such a hard course already. Never had a professor like him who takes the time to draw/annotate on PPT slides. All other Anatomy profs would just read the slide, but not Prof Khollesi! He really cares about his students.

Profesor Khollesi is by far one of my favorite professors at CSULA. I didn't take him for BIOL 2010 but I enjoy taking him for BIOL 2020. I learned a lot in his class while doing extremely well on his exams. He makes everything easily understandable. However, I felt that most people took him for granted. I would definitely take him again!!!!!

amazing professor! his lectures are well thought out and clear, his diagramming of certain topics really helps you to visualize how the body works. it's obviously a hard class, it's physiology, duh. you definitely have to put in the time but his way of lecturing makes the material really clear to understand. he wants you to pass. would recommend!!

Professor Khollesi is a wonderful person and teacher. I learned alot in his winter course and recommend student to take him. The lectures are the key to the test if you go to class and re-listen to the lecture you should do fine.

Bio 2010 is a very difficult class in general. There isn't a lot a professor can do other than present the information. Khollesi does manage to keep classes light and adds humor to make the challenging material a bit more memorable. He teaches straight off of the things to know list so that all the information you learn is potentially on the test.

Although he is given the slides he has to show in lecture by the department, he goes out of his way and explains everything really great. He posts all his slides online, so it isnt mandatory to attend lecture, but it helps a lot to hear his explanations

He is a great professor. He will help you if you ask for it. This class is primarily up to students to memorize the material and dedicate plenty of time to it. For people who think bio 2010 lab is hard, be glad there isn't a final for this portion of the class or else you all would fail.

Prof. Khollesi's lab was straightforward. 2-3 quizzes each week that cover the lab material that is posted on Canvas.10-15 questions each. Attendance isn't mandatory. As long as you stay on top of your quizzes, you should be good to go.

There are three exams. The professor is not horrible or mean. There is no makeup or extensions.

Professor Khollesi is a great professor. He provides a lot of resources to learn the material and it appeals to whatever learning style you prefer. He's very respectful and really cares for his students. He gives enough time for assignments and as long as you read the material and attend the lectures, you'll do great. I would take him again.

Great and passionate professor. Very knowledgeable. Students who give bad reviews are not serious. They don't come to class and complain about everything. They should have remained in high school to get matured! He did a great job.

He was very helpful and gave us plenty of time to complete and submit assignments. The lectures were very interesting and my attention was never lost. It up to the student to keep up with the grades and assignments. 10/10 would take a course with Professor Khollesi again!

Very straightforward, and as long as you do the assignments you're good. There is a lot of reading material, but a lot of it is summarized in the powerpoints. The biggest mistake I made was not studying for the midterm, and barely passed it.

This is a big class but it is online. There will be lots of texts for us to ready but the professor provides it to the students, rather than having us to purchase it, which is good. Not that hard if you are able to stay on top of your workload. The professor always put announcements of when things are due.

Classes are mostly lecture, but all text is supplied in case you missed something. Assignments are fairly simple and usually as long as you do them with effort you will receive a good grade. There is a lot of content covered in this course, but I felt that the professor made it easier through the activities planned and the way he taught lectures.

The professor was good and respectful all year. He is firm on work, but is fair to everyone. Every lecture was different in a way and got my attention. Zoom calls were kind of hard when volume wouldn't work but other than that this course was very interesting and thought me a lot more. Would take the class again for sure!

I'm taking Professor Khollesi's class online, and I can honestly say it's okay! He does his lectures on zoom. After those slides, you must go to the modules. As long as you review, listen, and read, you'll be able to pass the exams with at least a B. Make sure you read the instructions clearly on the assignment. He does give extra credit, btw

Great professor. Shocked by the few comments I read. He uses PowerPt effectively. He answers all the questions. He cares about u if u do your part & work hard. He is the best. I will take any classes with him. If you don't have time to do the assignments, don't take his class. Don't take any class, that way you don't have to do any assignmen
