He is a great teacher for the students who would like to learn about biology. Gives home quizes as extra credits. Always ready to help.

He is a fun teacher that has a clear understanding of Biology. He will ask you to write at least one paper and do a presentation in this class but it is very fair and very cool.

Very good, straight forward teacher. Grading was fair but not very easy. He was very good at keeping my attention. sometimes I thought he annoyed at students questions, but a great teacher.

good teacher, easy going, and understanding of situations. drops 1 exam grade. likes to crack his own corny jokes.

pretty laid back. his materials were clear. i used the text book for his take home quizzes, which helped me keep a good grade in his class. labs also helped. he gives u notes to study. VERY HELPFUL, and demonstrates in none scientific ways if you don't understand.

I hate him. If you get for a teacher you should drop and add a different class. He talks very very fast and its hard to understand what he is saying. He is also rude when you ask him a question regarding the matter, but he talks way to fast for most people to get it the first time he says it. All I can say is if you find out that you have him run.

Very good teacher.Make it clear even for difficult topics.Expect to learn in his class only if you are willing to study. You will thank him in Bio 110.His take home essays help you to really understand the topic.He is very helpfull and try to have every student to participate.

Awesome teacher! Will explain everything in detail. His tests are directly from his notes. He did his best to make the class interesting and fun!

Nice guy. Likes to help. So what if his jokes are a little corny, at least he has a sense of humor. Tests are right from notes. Made Biology interesting.

Really a great guy. Took his class and actually wanted to learn. Tells some jokes to lighten the load of always studying. Definitely would take his class again.

This is definitely a "college" class. Be prepared to study and work. We all need a class like this at least once in college. He is fair, and you will be well prepared if you have to take another science course. If you are a good student, you will feel successful after taking this,if not you better run. He is not a pushover!He is a great guy tho.

Great Professor. Speaks to fast but he always ask if there are any problems, questions or concerns. So if you have one of them then you need to raise your hand and follow up on what it is that you need to know. Very nice person.Love the way he does his test and quizzes. Although I failed his class I think he is a good professor.

He is a Star Trekkie,tells corny but sometimes funny jokes, speaks fast and goes through topics faster,uses non-science examples to help you learn,gives take home tests which helps a lot. Gives you in class notes.Has test review sheets.Drops lowest grade,on his test you can choose 45 of his 50 questions to answer.I got an A but you need to study.

He's a greatt teacher!!If you really want to learn "biology" then you should take him. He can be really annoying when it comes to the lecture cuz he explains real fast but as long as you read the book and understand it, you'll be fine. Overall he's a great and fine teacher. The tests are hard but you'll feel you became smarter afterward,lol

He goes through lecture super fast but he's thorough and clear. Either read the book thoroughly or make sure you attend all of the lectures and memorize his packets and you'll get an A (so long as you take your labs seriously and make an effort on the quizzes!) I liked his class a lot (:

not easy. You really have to work for your A. Does not give extra credit. Everything on the test will be on the study guides. Final grade is cumulative so that blows. He doesn't speak fast he just never stops. You teach yourself by reading the book later& following study guide. class is hard but you leave with a better understanding of bio

He was a TERRIBLE teacher! He acted like it was a bother if you had a question to ask. He was EXTREMELY fast and thats why he would ALWAYS be asked to go back and explain because he goes sooo fast its hard to catch on . I reccommend Judith Johnson, she's the best!!!!

I think he is an excellent teacher. All the teachers go fast with all the work because they have limited time to cover alot of material. He stops after everything to ask it anyone has questions and also encourages his office hours if help is needed. Biology is a hard subject in itself. His grading is fair. He does not put up with nonsense.

Great professor. He expects a lot out of you, but you're not going to find an "easy" college A&P class. The material is dense but he explains everything really thoroughly, he gives out neat outlines so you don't have to constantly write in his class. Work hard, do your labs and take-home tests, read your notes, and you will get an A!

AWESOME professor! He uses interesting analogies to make the topic easy to memorize and understand. Very helpful. His tests are easy if you know what he is talking about. No lab reports!!! Learn your notes though! Gives take home quizzes (to get an extra A) which are easy as well. Wish he teaches some other biologies...

Gives out fill in the blank lecture outlines and goes over them in class. Lectures very fast but you will definitely understand the material if your read his handouts. Exams are very fair sometimes a little tricky, but he gives out study guides for his exams at least two weeks in advance! Study, show up to class, and sit in front you will get an A!

prof. piazza is not a bad guy. i went to his office a couple time to see where im going in his class since i fail 2 exams ,he turned out to be a nice professor who wants you to pass, gives you good pointers on how to study for his exams and gives extra opport. to get a higher Fin. grade. overall you have to come to lecture and study HARD! i got a B

I liked him overall, his class is not easy. You have to study hard, if you're looking for an easy "A" keep moving. Unless you want an actual college level class feel free to take him otherwise don't. He's pretty funny, though.

He is genuinely interested in the student's success. He doesn't make it noticeable but his grading is very lenient. Science subjects have always been my least favorite, but you have to be a dedicated student. I studied plenty and received an A. Just complete all of your labs, show up to class and study. It is college after all!

I LOVED Mr. Piazza. He is very interested in the subject anatomy and physiology and to me that came across He used fun analogies to make things more relatable and answered all of my numerous questions both during and after class. He''s not trying to trip students up but expects people to show up do the work and pay attention. LOVED him.

Biology is "supposed" to be tough. You are supposed to "teach yourself" in college. If you're looking for an easy "A" go somewhere else, but if you're looking for an easy "A," you probably shouldn't be anywhere near the medical profession anyway. The professor is hilarious, which keeps you engaged. He does move fast, but shouldn't you too?

Prof. Piazza is a very easy going teacher. He expects the minimum, however, he isn't an "easy A" teacher. His lectures are long, informative, and usually interesting. He gives us packets with fill-in-the-blanks that ensure we know exactly what we need to review. To be sure you understand, I'd recommend studying with others. It helps significantly.

Very clear exams' outline. The exams are not hard if you put time on study the lecture supplements following the outlines. I like the class because he does not ask the questions in the class. No lab report and easy homework. It is relax all the semester. Nice professor!

Show up & take notes (fill in the blank handouts). Gives clear reviews of exam material, will emphasize info when pop quizzes are being given. I took a 5 yr break from school & this was my 1st class coming back & he was amazing. I wish all my professors were as straight to the point and clear as he is. He will answer questions in class also.

The class is difficult but only because of the content. I wouldnt expect it to be easy. The professor gives very helpful outlines so you know what to focus on. However, you must read the textbook. H. Does interject humor into his lectures and he gives plenty of homework.

He is a good professor. His lecture were hard. His exam were based on lecture and his notes. His quizzes were easy and take home. He is willing to help you and pass he lass. If you are hard working student you should pass.

He's one of the better biology teachers at CCP. You have to put in a lot of work and put in some tutoring hours, but you stand to learn a lot. Not an easy class. Study your take home quizzes for the tests.

DO NOT SKIP ANY LECTURES OR MISS LABS; He gives a "lecture book" that acts like a good study guide. You can't just memorize the material since his tests both lab and lecture are more about comprehension. Don't be lazy if you expect an A or even if you expect to pass.

He's a very serious man but a great professor. If you have any questions he will answer them and help you. Biology is hard which means you have to study a lot. His tests are a little hard but he's very fair.

He's a serious teacher, but it's difficult to not like him. Yes he's tough. Yes he grades hard. But he isn't there to be easy. He earned his place as a professor and he teaches quickly. If he says something, it'll probably be on the exam, they are long and difficult. He is funny though. on the exams too he has jokes. He's sweet sometimes too.

i WISH i could've taken professor piazza for BIOL110. it will be hard to follow the lectures if you don't read the textbook beforehand, but he gives detailed notes. if you memorize the notes and read the textbook, you'll be alright. there is very little guesswork re: what's on the exams, but they do ask small details, so know that going in.

He is an awesome professor. If you come to class, pay attention, ask questions when confused, he's the right teacher for you. I barely studied because of his very well teaching skills. I enjoyed his class very much, wish I could've taken him for 110.

Hes a great professor! His work is not too much quizzes and tests arent that hard you just need to study overall great class I wish I could have him for bio 110

This is a "weed out" class for people who are thinking of majoring in a biology related field; it is dense material - you need to memorize lots. Piazza does his best to provide ample material to study from, like videos/note outlines/powerpoints. He is kind and gives you a leg up w/ extra credit, but you need to work hard and study to do well.

amazing professor, wish I could take him for bio 110. Also gave us study guides to help w/ exams, and was always there to help

He honestly tries. It's definitely not going to be easy but as long as you actually use the study guides he gives and study the material, this should be a relatively easy to pass class. Attendance is important not just for labs but also for lecture. He gives a lot of useful examples and analogies during lecture that will help you during the test.

Great professor. My grades varied but I got an A on final. DO THE READINGS AND ASSIGNMENTS! Provides CLEAR study guides which I was grateful for! Lab session assignments are EASY and the repetition helps with exams and quizzes. You can tell he cares about this subject and career. Only sad that he does not teach A&P 2. I'm no genius but I did well.

The real crime here is that the bio dept thinks it's fine to offer Bio 1 as hybrid with no lecture, given the volume of material. Mr. Piazza does well with the hand he's dealt. He gives you all of the tools you need to succeed. This class is the epitome of "you get out what you put in". Be prepared to GRIND on your own. Hone your study skills now.

I personally loved Mark, he is tough but nonetheless he's a great professor. His patience is VERY THIN but if you pay attention you'll be fine😂.
