Mike P. is one of the best professors I have ever had. I really enjoyed myself in his class. I became inspired by his words.
Mike P is a great guy but his teaching skills are horrible!!!! If your serious about nursing and want to learn don't take him!! He pushes his own hollistic views and twists what the book has in black and white!! If mike was teaching a nutrition class he would be great!! I got an A in Patho but I'm retaking it cause I didn't learn hardly anything!
AGREED-Mike P is a great person but his skills are horrible!!!! If your serious about nursing and want to learn don't take him!! He pushes his own hollistic views and twists what the book has in black and white!! If mike was teaching a nutrition class he would be great!! I got an A in Patho but I'm retaking it cause I didn't learn hardly anything!
he's very serious about teaching. yes, he pushes his views, but they are true. he has opened up my eyes to so much & i've made some major health changes since i had his class. i think he's great and very informative! i especially liked the info about organic foods. he teaches bio 155, 254, 250, & 252. take him. u wont regret it!!!
Professor Parizon is kinda tricky in his teaching tactics. He just wants to make sure you understand the process. He also teaches beyond Patho for Nursing. His Holistic teaching are very interesting and they make you think about your mortality. The people that didn't learn anything in this class are obviously sleeping through all the info.
excellent teacher!!Very concerned about the students learning and retaining of information. Also gives excellent information on your health
Cool personality but to be honest when it comes to teaching he is not very instrumental. He reads straight out of the book! Does not condense it at all. Does not have great teaching skills. Has a great personality, though.
Great instructor! Goes out of his way to help students succeed. Lots of extra-credit research in case you need it to get a better grade. Loved his insite on improving your health.
Not an easy subject. Mike tries to break it down, but it's PATHOPHYSIOLOGY. It's sometimes difficult to remember everything. He gives you plenty of opportunities for extra credit. Stick to it and don't give up, you will be okay. He is very helpful.
THis class was quite challenging primarily because of the subject. Mike P is very informative. The class requires large amounts of reading and memorizing. If you study it you can recieve a decent grade.
Mike is a great instructor who really cares about his students. The material is not easy but he gives plenty of opportunities for extra credit. If you put a little time and effort in you will not have a problem getting an "A". I also highly recommend participating in the food feast. It is great healthy food and a really good time.
Great Professor. Mike P is really a great teacher he expains very well and moves forward. He also gives extra credit so that you want fell even if your headed that way he really knows his work. I think this job is meant for him. Very down to earth teacher.
Excellent!
This guy is a fake,and he's arrogant. He tries to make it hard with unnecessarily difficult tests, but do the xtra credit and you can fail the test and still get an "A". He doesn't check the chapter questions for xtra credit,soooo.He reads to the class from the book for lecture,very boring. Easy "A".
Mr. Mike is really cool and smart. He gives a lot of useful information, not only about patho but also about changing your lifestyle for the better. I can honestly say that he is the best teacher that i've had.
Excellent teacher, he will teach you extra stuff.he seams hard the first time, but he is very nice and gives lot of extra credit. I enjoyed his class very much. I definitely recommended him.
Mike p is very informative. Yes he talkes about the health stuff alot, but its pretty accurate if you search it yourself. IF YOU WANT TO A A CHANCE AT ANYTHING ABOVE A C DO THE EXTRA CREDIT.
I was very put off by this teacher when first starting the class, and he may not be the best teacher, but you can learn in the class and you can get an A.
Mike P. teaches in class by lecture and conversation and unlike some professors allows opinions instead of a room of androids. Mike P. does give extra credit for those who need it but one way or another you will learn something and Mike P. proves himself. But, if its that so called easy A your looking for then show up for class & prep. 2 listen
He's one HOT PROFEESOR! Ohh.. SEXY!!
Professor Parizon goes the extra mile for his students. He not only teaches the course from the book, but he also gives his students real world food for thought and information that the students can put to use the very same day of class.
Professor Mike P. is a dynamic instructor who not only teaches from the book, but also teaches real world applications.
Instructor passionate/well informed. Class was demanding but doable. Instructor exceptionally generous in providing opportunities for extra credit; students that did not get A didnt want one as there were just too many opportunities to do well. Instructor available to provide assistance outside of class. Patient with questions. Real good teacher.
Took course as prereq for nursing. Earned the A but had life changing experience b/c I had consistently high blood pressures including spikes in stroke range. After researching and starting regimen that included Graviola, BP 100/60. I cannot remember EVER having a BP that low. The class will educate but CAN change/save your life if you are open.
Dr. P, is a very high spirited professor, he makes things plain. want to change your life ? attend this mans class. Not only will you understand patho you'll understand life from a better perspective and will want to make a change for the better. He also makes hisself available to his students during school hours and afterwards. Very knowledgable.
Remember these word "Yeah-Nay-or Maybay" you will hear them. Mr. P is a very good teacher. very interesting he's so down to earth and offers you all the help you need, extra credit is easy, and his class in fun. you will learn alot about patho and health in general. this is the last week of class and I'm gonna kind of miss it. AND THAT'S RARE!!!!!
If you want to learn about eating all natural and where to find those foods you're in the right class. Pathology is taught minimally here.
Mike P. as he is preferred to be called reads straight from the book. He never stayed on the subject of Pathophys. He consistently put down others research on the subject. Hard to listen to. Yay, Nay or Maybay. I could read the book myself. All his lectures were read straight from the book.
Very opinionated person, but he's allright.
Teacher was VERY hard. If you had a question about something, be prepared NOT to get a straight forward response. All he wants to talk about is organic foods and such. VERY, VERY HARD teacher. He tries to make himself look good by going over info once and then giving rediculiously hard exams. He reads straight from the textbook.
Mike P. is what he wants to be called. I really enjoyed this class the test were hard but, He gave you plenty of extra credit to make-up for it. He gave excellent information and, shared with us things that could save your life and or make you way more healthier than you are today if you applied it to yourself. Mike P gave me a B Thank you.
Patho itself is not an easy subjct. U hve to read a chapter at least 3 times n make ur own notes befre taking test. U shuld read the chaptr before his lecture class otherwise you wont get wht he is talking bout.As he goes straight from book,easy to keeptrack with him. only his 2nd n 3rd exam ws hard.Quizes wre easy. Bettr than Forbes recomeding him
Pathophysiology is a tough subject. Mike P. was the 1st to say it should be split into 2 classes like A&P. So, he knows the work load we have, but that's the nature of the class. Just read, read, take notes, & read. Do not take it lightly. Can't penalize the teacher for the subject matter. He's a good guy, smart, & wants u 2 do good. Study hard!!
A great professor, knows the material, talks about it so you can understand it. He wants you to learn, allows make up exams, quizzes, and gives extra credit. Exams are straightforward. Yes he talks about Natural Food Patch/organic foods. He believes in natural healing so does Dr Oz. Millions listen to Dr Oz. Don?t take Mike P if you?re a slacker.
I really like Mike P as a person but as a Professor not so much. His exams are 100 questions and you realy don't knnow what to study and what not to study because it's so much. But you can give extra credit to help your grade. He doesn't really teach you anything, he just reads out of the book and off notes that mirror the book.
Mike P. is cool as a person BUT NOT as a Professor . He teaches on a Grad level not community college level. Some things are hard to comprehend do to the rate of speed he talks. There is no. direction of what to study, can become overwhelming.Read as much as possible, Very hard, dont take any other classes with his class if you can help
A very intelligent teacher who know his stuff. It can get hard if you dont start reading way ahead, taking notes for yourself and have a study group/person to compare notes. With the extra credit, quizzes and dedication you will be fine.
Mike Parizon is an incredible, knowledgeable professor. He knows the material and presents it with passion. Parizon also supplements with material regarding organic foods, herbs. Pathophysiology is difficult and it is up to the student to master the material. You must read and study hard to do well in health science related courses.
Take this class and yourself a favor
Very encouraging, presented materials very well. Very down to earth.
You will learn nothing in Mike P's class. Don't take it!
WARNING! You will be sorry if you take this professor! He isn't a good instructor.
Mike is a awesome teacher.. he cares about his students and respects them. I would recommend him to everybody.. and I do spread the word about him.. peace and blessings..
I enjoyed this class very much, it was very interesting as well as challenging. Mr. Parizon is a well educated and informed individual and put forth an enormous effort to teach the information but also help us to understand and absorb it as well. Mr. Parizon is a fantastic teacher and a great person, respecting all those around him.highly reccomend
The worst!!
This is not a good instructor. He should provide an outline of the most important information rather than lecturing directly from the book. An outline would be a valuable learning tool for the student while reading, as opposed to trying to outline the chapter while reading. I learned very little even though I attended every class.
Never learned anything from him. He talks about food patch all the time. Don't take his class. No PowerPoint and no study guide and his exams were horrible. Not a good instructor. He always emphasizes with his books. Just keep it to yourself, Mike!
This professor is very knowledgeable, answers all questions, explains in detail, encourages feedback, reviews before quizzes and tests and gives plenty of extra credit! Very interesting class--like leaving with a goody bag after each class!!!!!!!!
Mike P. is awesome I don't really know what the fuse is about uhh read your book maybe. That helps o yeah and come to class on time smdh then maybe you'll pass. I recommend Mike to everyone take some of the advice that he gives in class. 50% being there and 50% reading. He gives everyone a fair but equal chance.
You rock Mike P.
Mike may say something to make you go hmmmmm!!! But when in doubt Pee Pee on it lol he is the greatest professor ever
Mike P. gives more than enough extra credit for anyone to pass and 95% of the class to get A' if you don't pass you did something horribly wrong.
The Professor knows the materials and he do cares to the all class with max respect when you enter his class you come out with medical knowledge and you will never regret.
This was a hard class but it was by far my best class, he covered so many things that I did not know and now will never forget. If you want to actually learn take his class it will be beneficial to you.
Mike P is great. He explains things from a different light. As long as your open minded, do your work and attend class you should have no problem getting an A
This is a hard class and he doesn't make it easy. Talks very fast, using a recorder helps. Wish there was more focus on what to study. Needs to make attendance part of the grade. People were always late for showing up a week late for a test. Mike P is a wonderful human being. It was an honor to meet him.
Awesome professor!!!!! There arent that many that will go above and beyond the scope of the classroom to give there students a more in-depth view of the material. ...he DEFINITELY will surpass your expectations, and hes GENUINELY concerned with all of his students performance, in Life, as well as the classroom!!!!
I loved this guy. Excellent instructor. Take careful notes cause its a tough class but great great instructor. I loved him
Prof. Michael Parizon is not only an excellent Instructor, but also a role model!. I always tell him I want to be like him. His ability to teach with a combination of humor and deep respect for his student is awesome. I respect him a lot. He is such a great influence on everyone that comes his way, he is the best professor anyone can ever have.

Prof. Parizon is an amazing instructor! Patho is a very difficult class but as long as you stay on top of the reading assignments you will be fine. he works with all his students to make sure you get the grade you deserve. he is very fair and gives extra credit. Prof Parizon is the best!!!!!!!!
Great learning environment, looked forward to going to class every week
He is not very helpful at all. He talks to fast and I would not recommend taking his class. He talks too much about herbs and you teach yourself from the book. DO NOT TAKE HIM.
Prof. Parizon is a great instructor and a good mentor. He cares about his students and does not set them up for failure. He pushes you to the next level. If you are in need of help he takes the time out for that. You must pay attention to the lecture and must be up on your game and stay focused. He gives extra credit and he makes you work.
I loved this class it was very enlightening. Just do the work and you will be fine.
Great professor I learned a lot about different diseases that I didn't know before his class. I know I'm prepared for nursing school now. I had him in the summer of 2014 he inspired me to drink more water WOW thanks Mike P.
Awesome ! He knows his stuff,history and himself. He could probably assist you and finding yourself. Very helpful, motivational, and wise. I wish i could have him as a go to mentor. Great teacher ! Passionate about teaching and always willing to explain what is not understood. I love Mike P.
One of the easiest A's I've ever got. Go to class, participate in conversations ( trust me you will have input even if you are the quiet laid back type) , quizzes are take home, test are too. and homework is easy as well.
Mike P. is awesome!! Goes above & beyond. Show up, show effort & he will work with you. What is discussed in class is always on the test so take notes & do the reading! Gives extra credit. Very wise & insightful. You learn so much aside from the material. A great person & great teacher hands down. They should make him a full-time teacher! Love him!
Mike P is awesome!!! He makes the classes very interesting and very knowledgeable. He expects you to read each chapter he assigns and you will have to read them if you want to pass!!! As long as you show up, pay attention, do what he says, you can't fail this class. He is very clear and to the point with his grading and assignments.
Mike P is awesome. He is very knowledgeable and passionate in his subject and other things that he makes it interesting. There is never a dull moment in his class. This is not an easy course but he allows you to turn in as much extra credit as you want because he doesn't want anybody to fail. I absolutely loved this class!
This class is great great biology class, it is a very informative class. you will find out things you never knew.
Great teacher, nice guy. Keeps class interesting!
He teaches information from both Western and Eastern Medicine which is rare on this side of the world. He has a great wealth of knowledge on herbs and natural remedies. The class is easy going, but it is not easy by any stretch of the imagination. However, Mike knows this, and he gives A LOT of extra credit which one can do at their leisure.
Awesome professor. Very tough class but he does give plenty of extra credit opportunities. Come to class, pay attention, & read your textbook & you will do well. The extra credit helped me! I would suggest recording his lectures. I took notes at home while listening to the recording, it is easy to miss things he may have said. Would take him again
An Awesome Professor. He is very knowledgeable,nice and genuinely cares for his students. He really wants you to learn and grasp the material and is willing to explain what is not understood. Come to class, take notes and read your textbook. Also, recording his lectures helped me to organize and understand the material better. BEST CLASS EVER!!!!!!
Amazing personality I wish I could take him for every classes. He took us outside the campus and we had great time there and also last day of class was party day. Just take him you would love his class.
I have heard of Mike P class's and that he is a great teacher. And I must say he is a great teacher and very informative!
Instructor Parizon is a great instructor. I would take him again. He work with the student and offer a lot of extra credit. You will learn a lot in his class. He keep the lectures interesting and light.
Mr. Parizon was an excellent professor. He not only gave us knowledge about Pathophysiology, but also gave a plethora of information on maintaining our health. I would take him again in a heartbeat. ***** (Five stars)
If your're ready to teach yourself this is the class for you. He is very informative on natural foods and supplements for cleansing your "temple". Also, he gets upset that the class doesn't know the material. I guess not, when all he talked about was chlorophyll and praised the people who were cheating right in his face. Test don't define you!
I didn't know if this was a natural health food class or patho! Reads straight off his notes, no study guide. Offers tons of extra credit, you will need it!!! You will ultimately teach yourself. Cool guy, but expects you to remember everything from every other science class you took prior to patho. If you want to learn patho SEEK another professor.
Pathophysiology was very challenging! I enjoyed listening to him lectures because he is very knowledgeable! Just make sure you keep up with your reading, come to class focused and do the extra credit assignments which truly helps! Oh and yes he's such a cutie also! Mike is the man!(:
Class was okay. Loved the health tips. You have to read. Very straightforward man, doesn't sugarcoat anything. Read, pay attention and you'll be ok. Offers tons of EXTRA CREDIT, no way you can fail. Also if your a science whiz, attendance is not mandatory. Guaranteed to pass with at least a B. Don't buy that expensive book. Can use 3/4th edition
I love this guy, he is very insightful and one of my favorite teachers of all time. I don't understand why this class is not mandatory because it is very helpful for future nursing which by the way he supports! Please take him if you want to have fun while learning a needed subject!!!!
Should be teaching health instead of bio. Doesn't know how to teach, had to drop the class over his boring lectures. Reads off the book then gets side tracked about a 100 things. Professors get F's too
Professor Mike Parizon is A Great Instructor, he really engages with his students on the subject and also give excellent examples, great lectures, and an abundance of extra credit opprotunities. Reading is a must. After taking this class you'll definetly be Empowered and Enlightened. Overall a Great Class and Professor!
Professor Mike was one of the most influential teachers I've ever taken in my life. He is very intelligent and teaches you things through another perspective. He is a spiritual mindful human being and he will teach you everything you need to know that relates to pathophysiology. His class has made a significant difference in my life. Thank you Mike
One of the best!
Professor Paizon is an awesome instructor. You will hate when his class is over. You get so much more out of his class than expected. His class is life changing. Please take his class if you need pathophysiology. You will be so glad you experienced Professor Parizon. Nobody can compare to his teaching style. He is simply the best.
Professor Michael Parizon is a great educator and very knowledgeable. It was a pleasure to have been one of his students. I enjoyed every class, learned a lot, and appreciate the professors compassion and care for the lectures. I would 100% take his class again.
Hes class is awesome, yeah get ready to study, he teaches practical things he relates what we learn in class to real life that way it give you a better understanding and he gives lots of extra credit too.,, he willing to work with you.
Awful professor. He is fine if you want to learn about holistic medicine. However, this is not a class about pathology as it should be. He doesn't go over diseases. Instead I took notes in lecture and they were as followed: -Believes water has memory and intelligence -Believes disease such as Zika virus amd AIDS are made up by governement.
HorribleEducator EasyClass 4 tests (ALL TEST BANK) 5 Quizes (directly from study guide book) If you actually want to learn Patho look elsewere. He spends the entire lecture preaching about His Conspiracy Theories if you dont agree with him keep your mouth shut he will hold it against you all semester i learned this the hard way he's not openminded
The class is easy because of the assignment given but doesnt teach anything. His lectures are pointless I wouldnt recommend anyone to take him.
Im very confused about the good rates. He does not teach anything, during his lectures he just talks about his conspiracy theories and rants on about life. Assignments are easy but if you want to learn do not take him!
He is a total garbage. He teaches you everything except pathophysiology.
He is garbage. Talks about conspiracies and other crapy theories. Doesnt teach anything about pathophysiology. Easy A and all his tests are from the test bank. If a professor gets F and this person would get it. If you want to learn pathophysiology skip his class. He is just a piece of junk.
Mike P was an exceptional professor! Very easy to get ahold of outside of class, super passionate about what he teaches and hilarious! Of course some people are hating on him but they probably just didnt appreciate all the work we had to do. Newsflash, thats college! He wants you to succeed and prepares you for whats next! Thanks Mike! Awesome guy
Parizon course was great! He is very knowledgeable and inspirational! I would definitely take his course again. Thanks Parizon -LadyBug
Parizon's BIO course was great - the lectures were super helpful, and using unstuckstudy along with the textbook made studying a breeze. Definitely would take it again.
