He is electrifying during his lectures, but very serious outside of class. I like his visual method of teaching. His exams are challenging, but it's good for you. Study the essays and you should be fine.

Professor Buono was an engaging and enthusiastic teacher, you can't help but enjoy this class and his recycled jokes. Attendance is a must. The tests are tough but if you know the material you'll do fine. This class covers a ton of info, but Professor Buono is very approachable and helpful. I'd give him an A+ even though he gave me a C.

Do yourself a favor and find out what teachers did before Powerpoint. I'm old enough to remember life before PP and can assure you that lecturers of this caliber are an unfortunately dying breed. He is Fabulous!!

who gave this guy a chilli peper.. unless they though BOrat was a hottie. funniest thing ever..cool guy.. has plenty of stories to relate to topics. will lea rn a lot.. dont miss class...use all study guides..lecture notes and reviews on his rohan use the practice exams too. no need for textbook..very funny and entertaining. looks like BORAT

I love this man! He makes everything so simple, easy and interesting. So funny! If you go to class and listen you will get an A, easy A... just understand all the material that he goes over in lecture. There are 3 tests each have an essay question that he gives you the answer to and a short final paper at the end of the semester. Take him!

This guys awesome. Hes really funny & entertaining. & hes a good teacher. He explains everything very thoroughly so you can understand. He does post powerpoints but going to class is more beneficial. He makes the material fun. I only took this for a GE class & I highly recommend it. Only has 3 tests & 1 short easy paper.

He is hilarious, entertaining, and passionate. Buono is the****.

Im a social work major and have never taken a BIO class in my life and came out with a B+.No book, evrythng is straight from the lecture.3multiple choice tests with 1 essay per test.One 500-1000 word essay. Lots of humor w/ his lectures, never a dull lecture.Take the class with Buono

Great guy. Material was very hard and alot but he makes it in a way that you WILL understand it by repeating 5 times and reviewing it again on the next class. No text book needed but Do show up and that guy is freakin funny I wish all of our pathetic Bio prof are more like him. Good job Bruno! P.s Hot chicks in that class

He is inspiring and wants his students to succeed! His teaching style is really clear, he gave us the essay question a couple days before the test, so there's no reason you should not get anything less that perfect on that. He is probably the best teacher I have ever had so far. I learned a lot and got a decent grade on a hard subject.

Professor Buono has got to be one of the BEST professors at SDSU. His lectures are amazing (no power point at all-just drawings on the board). He makes concepts crystal clear. He has a very eccentric personality which makes the class so fun. He will have you laughing the whole time. I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend him! :)

Did anyone notice he is labeled as Michelle Buono, not Michael Buono. Just thought that was funny. Anyways, Buono doesnt even need a rating, he is hands down the best professor in the world i think. Made everything crystal clear and makes you feel like even YOU can become a successful doctor. This course is a must take with Dr. B.

Dr. Buono is one of those teachers you'll never forget! What a great class! He makes it very interesting and funny,don't miss a class! No textbook so if you go to classes and study from your notes you'll be fine.One of the best teachers I've ever had:)

If they had an academy award show for professors, this guy would haul em' home. If he wanted to, he could be a comedian on the side. BTW, he teaches really well too. No book needed, just go to class, take notes, and you'll do fine.

BEST PROFESSOR EVER!!!

I had Dr. Buono for both Bio 336 and Bio 560. He is excellent in both classes. He is passionate about Physiology and motivates you to want to learn. More importantly, he is the hardest working professor I have had. He makes it look easy in class, but it takes guts to get up in front of 300 students without notes or Powerpoint slides and seamless

MOST AMAZING PROFESSOR EVER! He teaches old school...chalk and a chalkboard! No book or anything so if you come to class, you're set! I can't say enough great things about him! AWESOME! :)

Best Professor Of Science

Great professor! When Buono notices that lots of people are writing and he's not done teaching he would say, "Look, look, look!" It would be pretty funny at times as well. It was hard to take notes sometimes with him constantly trying to take you away from writing notes. Overall, BEST physiology professor at SDSU! TAKE HIM!!!!

Difficult class, but he is an AMAZING professor. Definitely the best I've had at SDSU in my 2 years here

Judging from all the other ratings this probably doesn't need to be said but he is probably the best teacher you'll ever have. Very enthusiastic and wants you help you learn. Will go out of his way to do weird things just to help you understand and remember. It will be a sad day for students when Buono retires :(

I loved this class. The material is difficult, but I seriously looked forward to going. He is hysterical and makes class so much fun. I was actually bummed when it was over! He explains things so well and I can honestly say there wasn't a single class I didn't laugh multiple times. Take him- he is hands down one of the best professors at State.

he does look like borat a bit haha. HE IS THE BEST! enough said.

This professor is amazing! Seriously, the best professor I have had at SDSU. If you pay attention and take good notes you will do well. Go to his office hours with questions and he will help. He really loves teaching and wants to help students realize their full potential. It was such a great class--I'm sad it's over:(

Prof.Buono is hands down, one of the best science professors at state! I have never met another professor who cared so much about his students. There is no way you can take him and not learn the material! He is so passionate and knowledgeable about physiology that you cannot help but be interested in what he teaches. HE IS AWESOME!

He is hands down the best teacher I have ever had at SDSU.

He is one of the greatest professors SDSU has. By taking this class you gain a lot and there is nothing you lose. Also, you will get a very god grade easily. I expected a C grade but got a B+. This is the only biology class I took but made me like biology

Incredible professor, not the easiest class but really really funny guy, enjoyable class and maybe the best education from a teacher/professor I have ever recieved. Highly recommend

Seriously the best teacher I have ever had! I have never written a rating before, but felt compelled to do so for this professor. This class inspired me to change my major to something in this field. Its kinda hard but worth it

Yes, Buono is nice & entertaining. But, difficult class if you have no previous knowledge of bio, are not good at memorization or not a visual learner. No book, so must attend class. Lots of info. & must memorize complex concepts. I would not recommend this class unless you have an interest in physiology or are willing to do lots of studying.

AMAZING PROFESSOR! I absolutely LOVED this class. Does not take attendance but must go and take notes to pass. Class is so fun because hes so funny and so passionate about teaching that I always wanted to go. Very interesting topics. GREAT GREAT GREAT PROFESSOR!

I'm a senior & took this class to finish up explorations. What an amazing professor. Definitely one of the best! I absolutely love Buono! So funny, caring and passionate! Plus u learn about very relevant topics. No book, just notes & lectures, guides on Bb, 3 exams, one short paper. Just take good notes, review and memorize.

Awesome teacher, teaches physio with a passion. Makes things easy to understand. He sometimes goes off topic but overall an excellent teacher. No textbook required,no powerpt, just take notes and memorize it. RECOMMEND!

By far the best teacher I have had at State. I am a Bus. Major and he made the material so interesting that anyone could understand it. GO TO CLASS, but not mandatory. No book. SO helpful if you come up to him. He had the class laughing everyday. Take him. listen to what he teaches and you'll learn so much. HE IS THE BEST

He is awesome. Great teacher. Very clear and funny and entertaining. Go to class! An "A" is possible with lots of studying!

Hands down the best professor at SDSU. Incredibly hilarious, knows what he's talking about, and is invested in making sure you learn the material. There's a lot of material that he goes over and it isn't easy, but if you take good notes, you'll do fine. Attendance isn't mandatory, but you will end up wanting to come to class anyway. Loved him!

I wish I can take him over and over again! He's the best teacher/advisor I've ever had. The class wasn't easy but I got an A at the end because he explained the materials really clearly! He's a funny guy; it feels like you're in a stand up comedy show and you learn physiology at the same time. There's never a dull moment. BEST PROFESSOR EVER!

He really is the BEST! This class isn't the easiest so you have to put in the time and effort if you want to get an A. There are 3 exams and paper. He's really funny, explains the concepts in ways that everyone can and should understand, and is dedicated to what he does. I highly recommend you take physio with him.

Really enjoyed this class!! Love his passion for teaching that it makes you want to learn the material. No textbook, no ppt; so go to class and take good notes. Hilarious teacher! One of my favorite bio class at State.

Possibly the most dedicated teacher in the ENS department. He is extremely helpfully and interesting. Make sure to attend all lectures and bring a tape recorder. He goes fast, at times, and sometimes is not as clear. Do the essay questions ahead of time and have him read them. He is such a wonderful teacher!

Go to class, study the flashcards/ studyguides on blackboard, prewrite the essay questions and you should have no problem getting a good grade. He is an awesome teacher and truly passionate about teaching.

Go to class, study the flashcards/ studyguides on blackboard, prewrite the essay questions and you should have no problem getting a good grade. This class is hard, but he seems to have a gift in teaching and ensuring all students understand. Take this calss!!!

Professor B. is by far the best teacher I have ever had in my life. Take the class and make sure you go because the information you need for the exams is all a part of his lectures, which are fun. Study all the information he posts on blackboard and make sure you know in detail how each process works. Work hard and you will get an "A".

Buono is a good guy kind of funny class is pretty easy but a bit boring. i went enough times to count of one hand used the recorded lectures in the library and the study guide and got B's on all the test. the cd for the class is not necessary

Get professor! Loved every lecture that I went to however he does speak very fast make sure you go to walmart and buy a recorder! Its really hard to keep up with his notes, and its a good idea to double-check yours with the recordings. Exams are based out of LECTURE ONLY.

You couldn't ask for a better prof. He truly cares about his students and is passionate about physiology. Go to class and pay attention. No excuse not to get an A.

Excellent professor. Very passionate about his students, and entertaining to listen to. Even if you can't stand bio, you'll find yourself drawn to this class because he makes the lectures quite entertaining and interesting. Take this class if you get the chance.

Buono is the best professor ever! I would suggest attending every lecture, use a recorder, and utilize the blackboard resources such as study guide, notes, and key words. No textbook! Prof B is also incredibly helpful when you go to his office hours or email him!

Buono was the best teacher I have had in my college and high school career. He truly cares about the clarity of his work and is very passionate about his work.He makes the subject so interesting and loves to crack jokes that are legitimately funny. I want to switch my major to physiology for this teacher!! Make sure to attend class!!

I am just constantly astounded by what a great professor he is. Human physiology is far from simple but he makes everything crystal clear. Lectures are optional but I think our class had a 98% attendance rate on any given day, which I think speaks volumes about how awesome this guy is. Take good notes, study well and getting an A is very possible!

Prof Buono is a legend. His expertise is made very clear in his lectures and he does an amazing job of articulating the subject to those listening. His Boston accent and wit keep everyone paying attention too. No book/DVD's needed---this guy will give you all the info you need. Study hard and you will succeed--and learn a ton!

Hardest class I've ever taken, but also the best. Prof. Buono is awesome. No text book but you must go to class and take good notes. I suggest recording it. It can be an intimidating class at first but overall it's not and you'll learn a lot. I'm going to minor in physiology after his class at my next school.

I took Buono for Bio 336 & 560. He is an amazing professor. He teaches so clearly & with great humor that it makes learning that much easier. No books & exams are only lecture-based for both classes. 336 has an essay question in the exams + one short semester paper but 560 has only MCs. Really interesting material so take it with Buono!

Possibly the best teacher i've had during my time in college. Tons of material but he teaches it in a way where it sticks in your head so you can't help but understand the concepts. Buono > (insert college professor here)

2 midterms & a final. TONS of information taught in a way that you'll do fine. THEEE BEST PROFESSOR I'VE EVER HAD. This guy is smart, crystal clear, and funny... nuff said.

You know the beer commercial about the "Most interesting man in the world" - well Dr. Buono is REALLY the most interesting man in the world!!! He is super intelligent (he lectures for 75 min without a note or a slide), he has a great sense of humor, and really cares about his students. I took his Human and Animal Physiology classes and loved them

Professor Buono is absolutely amazing. I've never had a professor lecture so clearly and attentively. Exams based off lecture only. 3 exams and 1 essay. I'm not going to say the material is easy but he teaches in such a way that he really dumbs it down. Great class, amazing and funny guy.

best teach I've ever had. I honestly would be the smartest person ever if he was the one teaching me in all of my classes. The material almost seems easy because its so interesting that you don't mind studying. I got an A and that is so reachable for any student interested in this subject.

This was my fourth year in college, and he was by FAR the best professor I've ever had. I only took his class to satisfy an upper div. GE requirement, but he made me love Physio. I looked forward to going to class! He's eccentric and an incredibly gifted professor.

LOVE this professor! best class that ive taken at state by far because of Buono! Class is hard if u dont study. Exams are easier than what he makes it seem. He makes the material understandable. if u dont understand ask! very helpful guy! TAKE THIS CLASS!! =]

AMAZING professor. There is a reason why the university made his class a GE class and available to all majors.....because he makes physiology to easy. Trick is you HAVE to go to class. no book, no reader, no powerpoints. All he does is lectures and draw pictures on the board. Easy A if you go to class and trust me,he makes class go by very quickly

The best professor I have ever had! I learned more in his class than I did during 4 years at SDSU.

Best teacher I've ever had. Everybody told me physiology was going to be the hardest class I will have to take, but he made it easy, and he made class enjoyable. It's been over five months since finishing his class, and I still remember most of what I learned. If you have to take physio, there's no one better. Should be in the Top 25 on this site.

You are doing yourself a disservice if you do not take this professor. He is hands down the BEST teacher I have ever had. No power points, just lectures and draws on a chalk board, but worry not, he is hilarious, engaging, and time flies in class. There is no text book, just show up and take notes. Do not miss class; you will regret it.

Buono is a stickler for clarity. He will go over a topic until you can reiterate it with your eyes closed! He will answer any and all questions. Although he gets carried away, he is easily the greatest professor I have ever had the pleasure of learning from.

Great teacher. I recommend making it to every classif you can because his lectures are where you learn! Also, print out and make the flashcards that are online for the test! They are very helpful and many multiple choice questions are very close to the ones on the flashcards. Take Buono if you want to learn and have fun at the same time.

This was my favoite class so far. I went over the information every night which I have never done before but actually wanted to do because it was so interesting. Great professor because he explains everything and you never have to use the book. Go to class and pay attention and you'll do really well!

Most amazing class I have ever taken at SDSU. Not only do you learn an immense amount of fascinating information but I GUARANTEE you will actually enjoy every second of it. I have never looked forward to going to a lecture until this man. He is goofy and zany and class flies by! You should feel honored to learn from this guy!

Best class @ SDSU b/c of him. Really tough material, but taught like a piece of cake due to his repetitiveness & concern of students. No book needed or used, just lots of notes. Key thing is to just listen & watch every once in awhile. Tests are set up to as mult choice & an essay that makes you have to know everything...which is a good thing

I don't write reviews on professors but Professor Buono deserves one! Best Professor at SDSU by far. Must go to class because there is a ton of information and he does't use powerpoint. Great class Great professor. A MUST TAKE!

great, entertaining teacher. he really is a teacher for the students. attendance is mandatory and i would recommend buying a recorder. i thoroughly enjoy his class. ACTION POTENTIAL

Amazing Professor! Will spend extra time after class with you to go over questions. He is very passionate about Physiology and it shows. His lectures are fun and super interesting. Don't miss an opportunity to be taught by one of the best teachers ever!

Best professor at SDSU! No textbook required, attendance is not mandatory but you will defiantly want to come to class. He makes the subject and class very interesting and fun and as long as you take good notes you will be fine for the tests. 3 exams and one paper.

Buono is the best teacher I have ever had. He sparked an intrest in physiology I never new I had. He is also very inspiring and motivational. He is a wonderful teacher!

Dr. Buono is an awesome professor. 3 exams +1 paper. Exams are based on his lecture, so you don't need the book. Go to class, take good notes, & if you have any questions, just ask him & he is more than happy to clarify. He is so helpful, funny, and definitely keeps the class interesting. Love him!

Professor Buono is the best professor I have had at State. Three exams and one summary paper, he gives you the essay questions in advance so do them ahead and memorize them. Dr. Buono knows that physiology is difficult so he makes an effort to explain it in the easiest way possible. Take him for physio!

Best professor I've ever had! Seriously such an amazing class, he really made it interesting. Take good notes and draw the pictures he draws on the board and you'll do fine! :] Definitely go to class and pay attention though (even though notes are posted online) it makes studying so much easier and quicker before the exam.

This teacher is great, he knows how to get the class to interact and learn the material, pay attention to the info he writes and the pictures he draws in lecture, everything he talks about in class is on the test, amazing professor! he helps students if they have questions after class and during office hours

It was a challenging class but he was so passionate about what he was teaching and was always extremely helpful during office hours! I highly recommend him.

Took this professor about two years ago ad still hands down the best professor at teaching a complex subject. He makes learning easy and interesting, great professor lol makes me actually want to go to class

Class is not mandatory, but strongly advised since his tests are lecture based. No book required. Awesome professor! He makes learning lots of fun and keeps you interested the whole time. Very eccentric, but that's what's great about him as a professor. Go to class, study your notes, record class sessions, and review with friends. You'll do fine.

AMAZING! I wish all Bio professors were like him! The exams are based entirely off his lectures so if you miss class it may be challenging but he does have a review day before each test. He's a little crazy but always keeps class interesting.

Buono is awesome! His style of teaching is very unique and beneficial to students. I hope he never retires because he is one of the best professors at state. My advice is to record his lectures while taking notes. It helps a lot for the tests (:

He is the greatest teacher and one of the best things to happen to SDSU. I would honestly just go sit in his class and listen to him all over again if I could. He is smart, funny, and incredibly engaging. Just study what he tells you to and you'll be fine. You need to know your stuff but he will feed you everything you need to know.

Record the lectures and be at every class. There are no powerpoints but his class is so interesting and funny you don't want to miss it anyway! One of the best professors, his exams are difficult but fair. You definitely need to study, felt like I was back in anatomy.

Buono is the best professor I've ever had. He is extremely knowledgeable about the material and welcomes any questions. There is no book, so the tests are based on lectures only. Attendance is not mandatory, but I don't know why anyone would want to miss this class. Buono is hilarious. I would sit in on this class just to have a laugh. Enjoy!

He's one of my favorite teachers at state so far. Three tests, and a short essay. No textbook though, so class is super important. Tests are taken straight from lecture, so go to class and take good notes.

His lectures consist of him drawing and emphasizing key terms. It's very easy to pay attention bc he engages with the students and keeps it interesting. 3 tests and a final paper. I would definitely take him again.

The best professor I have had in my 3+ years at state. One of my few science classes I can constantly recall because he teaches the information so well. Even better - he doesn't go off of power points despite the 300+ size class. So refreshing to have a teacher that teaches. Tests are challenging but doable. Would take again.

I took his class for upper division GE and I do not regret any bit of it. The tests are a bit tough, but if you study a week before you should be fine. Expect to write and draw a lot because he actually teaches the class instead of reading from a power point. Overall the best hands on professor at SDSU!

He is, hands down, one of the best professors at SDSU! After I handed in my final, I wanted to cry because his humor and enthusiasm will be missed! His lectures are interesting, he knows so much, and he is always there to help. He makes Physiology FUN! Thank you Professor Buono! :)

He is so awesome! One of the best professors at SDSU. He even came in to my NUT 205Lab and tried the food we made! His lectures are engaging and funny. Physiology has never been made this amazing. Recommend taking him 200%!! Thank you, Professor! You rock! I will never forget the blow dart example. Ever! Epic!

He is my favorite teacher. He is engaging and great at what he does. If you don't get physiology with him as your teacher, it means you just don't want to get it!

Dr. Buono is my favorite professor. He doesn't use powerpoint and really engages the class. Physio can be an intimidating subject but he taught it in a way that you were able to understand the bigger picture. I definitely recommend taking his class. you'll actually learn something and remember it.

He is my favorite professor! He is fair and exams are not tricky. No text book!

He is an amazing professor-passionate and dedicated to what he does! He has a great sense of humor. When studying for tests, I felt like I understood the material and could connect it, rather than just memorize and recite it. He jokes that his notes are a "hot mess," but they help you really understand and apply the concepts!

Easily the best professor I have ever had the pleasure of learning from. Were it not for my degree already having been decided, he would have singlehandedly decided it for me. He likes to say that he rambles, and that his notes are a mess, but everything always ends up connected to relevant info, and the diagrams he draws are perfect for the lesson

This guy is amazing. He deserves much respect. I love that he does not kill the class with power points. I love how he draws things out in detail, so in return you know how to take good notes. His tests follow his lectures. I love the subject, so if you are a dedicated student you can earn an A. He has a great sense of humor too. Number 1 at SDSU.

This guy right here, PHENOMENAL. I am super impressed by his teaching style. This class was so much fun, I really loved going to lectures because he is hilarious and an amazing lecturer. He makes you want to learn. There are only 3 tests and a 2-page thematic paper. He provides notes for you on blackboard and all the lectures get posted online.

Prof. Buono is one of the best professors I've had, which speaks a lot since he teaches Human Physiology. He makes the class interesting and tries his absolute best to help you understand the concepts. Extremely passionate, which made lectures a great and worthwhile experience. However, you will need to put in the time to learn the material!

He's great, loves the material and really tries to get you into it. Lectures are posted online but they're not always reliable so it's better to go to class. He draws everything out on the board though which can be hard if you're more of a linear person and prefer powerpoints.

take this freakin class. he looks like Mr. noodle and is the nicest and smartest teacher you will ever have. Made me want to minor in physiology but SDSU doesn't have that minor

This is the best teacher I have had here after 4 years of classes. All of his tests are based on 3 very clear essay questions that he goes over every day. All of his lectures are uploaded online so you could never go to lecture, watch every lecture 2 days before the test, and get an easy A but I honestly enjoyed every single minute of his class.

Professor Buono is hands down the best professor at state. Like many that have said before, his teaching style is unbeatable. Physiology is a difficult topic, but the way he teaches makes it so easy to understand, and he's willing to help you if you don't. It'll be a sad day once he decides to hang it up so take him while you can! SDSU legend.

Great professor! He really wants students to understand the material. Attend every lecture & study regularly to do well. He is easy to talk to after class or during office hours. One of the best teachers I've ever had!

Best professor ever! He is old school with no powerpoints or anything online but his lectures are jam packed with interesting and useful information. Go to every class, pay attention, answer his questions and you will do great. He is one of the few professors that actually cares about you learning the material. 10/10 recommend.

Dr Buono is the best professor I've had. He's funny, interesting, and presents the material in multiple styles making it easier for every type of learner. Other bio professors (anatomy), should take a page from his book. His exams are well rounded and fair. I love that he draws pictures instead of powerpoints. I was sad to see the class end.

My favorite teacher since I began college 2 years ago. Classes are interesting and tough/dry information is made relevant and fascinating by his personality and teaching style.

My absolute favorite class I've ever taken at state! He emphasizes understanding concepts rather than just memorization. His lectures are incredibly well organized and just rewriting the notes and going over them again got me As on all the tests. Grading is based on 3 tests (none of which are cumulative) and a short essay

This is by far one of my favorite classes. Buono teaches in a way that makes physiology so interesting and EASY. There are very few times where lectures weren't entertaining. Great professor, I wish I could have him teach all my classes.

Take this class!!! Lectures are awesome and available on BB so you don't have to attend classes (except to take exams).Lecture notes are also available on BB. 3 exams total and one short paper. Professor Buono is funny and caring. This class is indepth, but doable.

I learned more in this class than I have in any other class at SDSU. Professor Buono gives amazing lectures that make you want to learn and pay attention. Although I had to spend a lot of time studying, I remember everything that I've learned this semester. Spread out your studying and watch his lectures and you'll do fine.

Such a great prof I wish I could have him again! He made such a difficult subject very understandable/easy. The tests aren't easy but if you know the material you'll be fine. Studying is a must. Class is based off of 3 tests and 1 short paper. Attendance is not mandatory but I highly suggest going. He does post his lectures online to rewatch.

His class is the best class I've ever taken at SDSU! His lectures are not mandatory but they're fun to go to. The tests were straight forward and not very hard if you understand the overall concept. Highly recommended!

Best professor ever!! He will seem a little nutty at first, but he is so smart and actually teaches during lectures! 10/10

I took him 2 years ago, and I still haven't found a better instructor than him! I went to all in class lectures and used the recorded lectures to help study the notes I took while in class. In class, I recorded the audio too so I could listen where ever . AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING

Dr. Buono is an absolute gem. I actually looked forward to his lectures and he makes learning feel easy. The material is tough and if you don't study for his exams you'll bomb, but he puts all his lectures on Mediasite and he is always available for office hours. Just put in the work I promise you'll be glad you took this class.

Professor Buono is so quirky and funny. Lecture isn't mandatory but its better to go, he makes it interesting and everything is easier to understand. A LOT of material but its not hard to get a good grade if you put in the effort. He wants his students to succeed.

Not the kind of class where you memorize all the info on a powerpoint slide mindlessly. If you're looking to actually learn the material and enjoy the learning all the while, register. it's a little tough because there's only 3 tests, but buono makes the material extremely digestible.

Dr. Buono is simply one of the best professors. He's an entertaining lecturer and you will learn a lot. He's clear in what he expects you to know. His exams are pretty straight forward. There are only 3 of them: 45 M.C. and an essay question. He records his lectures online, but I think it's good to go to class. He loves it when people come anyways.

Buono is a GREAT lecturer. He does not use PowerPoint because "it makes professors boring" and he's honestly right. There's no textbook. He is the textbook. Go to every lecture, draw the pictures along with him, and re-watch them at home and you're guaranteed an A.

Professor Buono is amazing. I'm a business major and I struggled a little with this class. I went to every lecture even though he posts them online. Buono made physiology easier and I learned a lot! I would definitely recommend everyone to take him for their GE!

BEST professor Iv had. I enjoyed going to class. Literally made learning fun. Made challenging concepts intriguing. Take him, even if its for your GE classes!

Prof. Buono is the best! He truly knows his info and presents it so well. He is constantly applying the information to real life and drawing out pictures as a break down for you to see whats going on. He also heavily encourages you to ask questions and will often say something once for his students to see and then go over it again for them to write

I learned a lot during this class & I like that he made our learning our responsibility by not requiring attendance. He only tests on what he goes over in class & finds ways to get you to remember material. NO TEXTBOOK! Only 3 tests, 45 mult. choice questions with a 10pt essay section for each test. A 10 pt paper. Too bad I'll never have him again.

Prof. Buono is so so awesome! He truly knows all his material backwards and forwards! Every single class I was interested and class seemed to go by quickly. There is no busy work either, just three exams which are manageable if you watch the videos or attend lecture. He truly is an awesome guy, wish I could take his class again!

Dr. Buono is hands down the BEST professor I've had. He really cares about his students and encourages you to ask questions during lectures. He truly knows what he's doing. I am actually sad that I am done with this class because this it's so interesting. Do take him if you get a chance!!

He is the best teacher I have had at SDSU! The only problem is he only teaches physiology! No doubt he is an expert at this class! He is VERY knowledgeable & will help in whatever way he can. He made this class so enjoyable & easy to understand. 3 exams (not cumulative) & 1 short paper. Dont show-still need to watch lectures to get a good grade.

You won't learn more from any other professor than Dr. Buono. He is amazing and painting a picture for something that is almost impossible to imagine. He really can show you how smart you truly are. THANKS DR. B!

Hands down the greatest professor I've ever had! Really engages his students with tough material, but makes it easy to understand. Draws out everything and you never leave confused. Hilarious, too! I never stopped cracking up in his class. 3 exams, 45 questions with 10 pt essay portions. Everything on the test is exactly what he teaches in class!

This professor is the best!! Of course you need to study, but Buono explains every concept so well and makes learning and going to class fun.

Perhaps one of my favorite teachers ever. Prof. Buono makes you feel very comfortable and conveying material that is hard to understand. Pay attention and write word for word what he says in his lectures. No book required. He is passionate and extremely funny. You will have to work hard, but everything is layed out for you, just put in the time.

Physiology is not easy, but Dr. Buono managed to find a way to make every concept in every class exciting and engaging. I legit wanted to cry after the final, once I realized I wouldn't be going to anymore of his Physiology lectures :( TAKE HIS CLASS!

By the first day of class, every prior physiology class I had taken finally made sense. Things I never understood was put so simply. I am so thankful for Mr. Buono. He is the best professor I have ever had and I never had one on one interaction with him. Watch lectures online/in person, check notes with prior notes he post from a former student-A+

Buono is by far the best professor I've had at state. He really cares for his students and wants them to understand the material. He doesn't use power points but definitely make sure to write everything he says to study for the exams! This class was amazing because of him. Highly recommend taking it!!

His lectures are very clear, he posts a video of his lecture on blackboard everyday after class. he does not care about attendance, so you can just watch the lecture whenever you want. You need tp study a lot for his exams, his questions are not tricky but very clear, but the material is heavy so you need to study.

I've never written a review till now bc I think Dr. Buono is an amazing professor. I'm not strong in sciences but he explains the material well and no busy work! Tests are the fairest I've ever taken. Paper is easy btw

Took this class for a GE. His class is pretty hard and you are graded by 3 exams and one paper (that is worth 10 points out of 310). Regardless, he is very passionate of what he teaches and does a great job in explaining physiology. You don't need to attend class but make sure you rewatch his lectures at least TWICE.

He is literally the best professor at SDSU! I never went to class but I would watch all his lectures and take notes on them 2-3 days before the exam. He simplifies and explains so many complex subjects extremely well and makes it engaging! The essay portion of the exam is easy the exams are very fair and straightforward.

Loved this class so much! One of my favorite professors ever, he is hilarious and makes such detailed concepts easy to understand. I always went to class and rewatched his lectures at home, but attendance technically isn't mandatory. No textbook, you learn everything he wants you to know from his pictures that you will master drawing!

One of the best professors I have had throughout my college career. It is obvious how much he loves what he does and that helps motivate us students to do better. He made me love physiology and I actually got excited to study for his exams. He is so great at explaining every concept and makes things easier to understand. He's the best!

Dr. Buono is the MOST amazing professor I have ever had in my academic career! This guy's a real gem and he knows it! He is so passionate about what he teaches and I'm grateful to have been in his class. I paid attention to class because his charming presence demanded my attention. Dr. Buono, May u be blessed and healthy and always happy. We you

Buono is the best professor I had in my entire life! He literally made my every day! I wish I could take him again. He only has 3 tests ( 45 m.c and one essay) and 2 page paper( easy points) don't worry so much about the essay, concentrate on multiple choice. His tests are pretty tough, make sure you study.

Very fun and cool professor! He always made class enjoyable! He was very scattered with the way he teaches, but it still all made sense. I wish he taught more classes because I would definitely take him again!

Best teacher I've taken at SDSU. He makes learning so much fun. He's hilarious and very intelligent. Great lectures!

Dr. Buono is a real gem to have at SDSU. Made me love physiology and learning it more than I expected to. It's his gift to be able to teach the material in such a way that is very understandable and fun. I swear his lectures sometimes feels like I'm at a comedy show. Put in the work to study and go over material more than once, you will pass easy

As other reviews said, amazing prof and fun material. Came out of the semester with quality learning, not a class that I wanted/needed to cram. Watch all lectures and take detailed notes, then rewatch in 2x speed to review. Even non-science majors do well in this class. Might cry when I don't get to take him anymore.

Buono is one of the most engaging professors I have had! He has a clear passion for teaching and for physiology which makes the class very entertaining. There is no textbook so all the information comes from the in-class lectures. The class grade is dependent on three exams and one simple assignment. Would highly recommend this class!

Professor Buono is the best professor I've ever had. He is passionate, knowledgable, and makes lectures truly enjoyable. I am so sad I didn't get to see him in person for the second half of the semester. He is a gem and made physiology very easy and fun to understand. No textbook, study the lectures and you will be great! I will miss him!

The absolute best professor I have come across in my career as a student. so passionate about his work. Has so much work published yet he is so humble. Teaches without ppt which makes material so easy and understandable. Tests come from his lectures which are all recorded. 1000% recommend

Tough class overall. Took it during the S1 summer session so the material went by super quick. Probably could have got an A if taken during the regular semester. Good professor, although slightly erratic teaching made it difficult to study at times. Structured almost like a basic medical school class, you learn a lot in six weeks.

Despite never seeing him in person or on live zooms I can still say Dr. Bueno is one of my favorite teachers I've ever had. A subject as difficult and so conceptual to teach especially through a screen, yet he teaches it effortlessly. I'm a visual learner and he writes and draws everything on a white board making it so easy to understand.

I loved this class and this teacher. He simplified everything and does not require a textbook at all. He also records every lecture. The only hard thing was that you need to write down what he says as he does not use any PowerPoint slides, just a list of terms. His exams are pretty easy and fair if you pay attention and write down what he says.

As an online class, we were required to watch the lectures at our own pace to prepare for the exams. The lectures were enjoyable to listen to and were very easy to follow. As long as you manage your time and take thorough notes, a passing grade is surely attainable. Thank you for an awesome and inspiring learning experience

Without a doubt one of the best professors I have ever had. An interesting class all around, but Dr Buonos enthusiasm is unmatched which makes learning physiology that much cooler. Not an easy class, very lecture heavy and very conceptual but one of the best classes I have ever taken.

One of the best profs I've had at state. 3 exams and a paper (worth 10 pts). Everything he says in class is fair game for exams, no textbook. He's a great lecturer and makes the class really enjoyable. Science, pre-med, or not I'd recommend everyone to take this class.

Buono is the most amazing professor at SDSU, by far my favorite professor I have ever had. If I could, I would fail his class just so I could have him again. His lectures are so engaging and he teaches in a way that makes you want to learn and pay attention.

Literally such an AMAZING professor. I learned so much during this course. He teaches so well and its clear he cares about what he does! I recommend him so much!

This is my first time to ever right a review for a professor because he is the best professor I have ever had. I loved physiology from his lectures.

Best professor at State. Passionate, fast, clear and concise. 3 exams and a paper, all exams come directly from the lectures which are fun, entertaining and informative. I recommend taking notes, if you miss a class it is recorded online so you may rewatch it. Running out of words so just going to say hes GREAT!

Great professor, makes the class genuinely fun and interesting. I also really like his style of lecture, he draws everything out and clearly explains things rather than just reading from a PowerPoint. Also tests are online and open notes and are generally pretty easy

Professor Buono is an all around amazing professor and person. However you still need to put the work in to get a good grade. The entire class is based off 3 exams and final paper thats not really worth much. The tests are online but you won't do well if you slack on the lectures.

Dr. Buono is easily the best professor I have had at SDSU. He is amazing because he is extremely personable and is always willing to help. This course is lecture/exam heavy but if you pay attention in lecture and put in the work you will do well in the class. Definitely, definitely take his class if you have the chance!

Buono was a great professor. His lectures are funny and they made a lot of sense for me, and I enjoyed the subject. You can tell he genuinely cares about the subject and students. The past comments all rating him a low score should be disregarded. As long as you go to lecture and study you will do great.

I've never left a review before but I'm making an exception because some butthurt loser is review-bombing this guy. His class is great, he moves fast when lecturing but begs you to stop him and ask for clarification. The exams aren't cumulative and you can use your notes, no memorization is required. So the only way to fail is to not pay attention

One of my favorite professors that I've had. This is a difficult class but the professor makes sure to be as thorough as possible, repeats info multiple times, is passionate about teaching, and encourages questions always. Tests are hard and feel tight on time but come to class/rewatch lecture recordings, take good notes, and study. You'll be fine!

Dr Buono is one of the most passionate professors I've come across at sdsu thus far. This is undoubtedly a difficult class, but don't let that discourage you. I definitely think I could've done better in the course but I'm not going to hate on Dr Buono bc in the end it's on me. Make sure you shake your head when he asks "can i get a head shake"!!

I love Professor Buono he is so sweet and such a great lecturer. Only three tests and a paper and they aren't too hard if you have notes (open-note tests)

Buono is amazing! Super passionate about his work and wants all of his students to understand the material. 3 tests and 1 small paper, but tests are open note so pay attention to everything he says in lecture. Would take any class taught by him, ignore the bad review bombs from that one guy :)

Dr. Buono is an amazing professor! Make sure to go to lecture and take good notes. He records his lectures which is very helpful for reviewing for exams. The tests are open note and online with no proctor but no backtracking. If you go to class, take good notes, and review before the exam, you will definitely pass this class!

Professor Buono is one the best professors I've had. Physiology is definitely challenging, but he really cares about your success. He always asks for questions and gives a lot of examples. Lectures are recorded but I recommend going to class and using the recordings to review and study. Take really good notes and draw pictures, and you'll be solid!

Professor Buono is a great professor. He is one a few professors that is very passionate about teaching students and wants students to succeed. His lectures are fun and engaging. Physiology can be tough but he makes concepts easy to understand for students. Be prepared to dedicate time to studying for exams!

Professor Buono loves this material and always tries to keep the class engaged. The exams are difficult, but they are open note. If you take good notes and organize them before the exam, then you should be fine. Make sure to write down the "random" examples that are said during lectures because those are often on the exam as well.

If you don't do well in this class its because you're lazy!!!!! Tests are open note but pulled directly from the lecture. All you have to do is take good notes and study a little bit before the exams. Buono is also a super smart and funny guy.

Professor Buono is the best professor I had at state. Don't listen to all these awful reviews that were posted in Fall 2022. They were all by one student in my class that was mad he was failing (by his own doing). Listen to his lectures and take good notes and his tests will not be very hard. He explains concepts great and is always ready to help.

Professor Buono was the best teacher I've ever had, and I will never forget him. He cared deeply about not only the subject he taught but his students as well. He was the pinnacle of what a good teacher was and should be. May he rest in peace and know that he touched and changed the lives of many students. We loved you professor Buono

Gone way too soon. Professor Buono had so much passion in his teaching. I wish we knew him longer. Rest in peace to an SDSU legend. No professor could replace the mark Buono's made on all of his students

Buono was an amazing professor. I was a literal Criminal Justice major taking such a difficult subject and he made the material so easy to understand. So sad that he passed and wish nothing but the best for his family. RIP Professor Buono. We all loved you!

Great professor along with great lectures. I typically struggle with these difficult classes but with his style of lecture he really makes sure you understand the material. His lectures flowed really well and were easy to follow. He is amazing person and professor that I had the pleasure of learning from.

I took Buono's physiology class back in 2016. He was an amazing professor, kind, and respected. I am saddened to hear of his passing. He impacted many. I know people 20 years older than me who still remember specific parts of his lectures, like the puffer fish poison. We love you, and rest in peace.

Thank you for being such an amazing and passionate professor, you truly have impacted so many lives. Including mine. Rest In Peace Dr. Buono

Dr. Buono was one of the greatest people and professors I had the pleasure of learning from. His love of learning and passion for teaching and his students inspired me to continue on in higher education and work in the field of academia. RIP Dr. Buono.

Truly a great professor, he made his lectures captivating and was very thorough. He was admired and respected by so many students and faculty. He wanted his students to succeed and showed his students how amazing the field of physiology is. We learned so much from his class, and his lectures will always stick with me. Rest in peace to Dr. Buono.
