He's a nice guy, decent prof. Not much too him. Could make lectures more interesting and simplify it. Needs to post lecture slides online before class! He's good with answering questions and very approachable guy!

He was extremely fair and one of the best profs I have had at explaining difficult concepts. If the class was having difficultly with a particular topic he would go over it again which was really helpful. His tests were pretty straight forward. He is also very enthusiastic while lecturing and very approachable..overall an awesome prof!

He is a good guy. His test/exam was extremely fair. The content was semi interesting. Kinda hard marking on presentations and they are boring and no one really cares. Easy to talk to and knowledgeable. Overall good prof and class.

Amazing guy and beyond the most helpful professor I've met in my life and very kind. His exam was fair - it was strong on the technicalities but the material itself was fair. His teaching skills are unprecedented - just the way he teaches makes the material much more interesting than any prof. I genuinely like the course because of him now.

I'm down with this guy simply because he dissed animal rights activists with confidence in front of an aud with 1000+ people in it.

Great guy, very fair with his exams. Genuinely cares about his students. Also very knowledgeable on the subject. His lectures could be a bit more engaging, and the student presentations weren't very well organized. Overall though, it was a great class, one of my favourites.

I really enjoyed his lecture, he is a great professor, helpful and is always taking the time to clearly explain the material. Encourages students to participate in discussions. Great professor overall.

I loved the way he mingled teaching with humor. His style of teaching is so good that as long as you are attentive in his lectures, you don't even need the textbook. His encouragement to students to ask questions, answer them in the best possible ways, taking time to explain things at any time you need is what impressed me the most. He rocks.

Seems like a nice person, but can be quite insensitive. Horribly difficult, unfair. Tricks on semantics of material rather than genuinely testing on subject. Openly admits, but doesn't help the plethora of students who need a good mark to get into grad schools. Dreading the day I'll have him again for a class...

Great instructor.

The master of multiple choice. Don't think the tests will be easy - all of the answers will seem right. You really need to study and make sure you fully understand the material. Just going to lectures and passively absorbing the information won't get you a passing grade.

Tests exclusively from his slides, but not attending class can be your grave mistake. Explains every concept as many times as you ask. Very strict with his marking and policies but is very clear and detailed with his explanations.

Vesprini is very thorough on the topic. He goes over the content very clearly. The tests are hard, you actually need to know the material. It can be a lot but he tells you far in advanced what you are expected to know. I think people think he's bluffing. He's not: know the structures, branch points, over arching themes, oh god know the enzymes!

He was a really good prof for preparing you for future classes, but that being said he was a hard tester

He only lectured for one or two classes but it was interesting and clearly laid out. He also was the coordinator for the labs, which were not great but I believe that the program used for them was most of the problem. BIOL 1F25 is good for a context credit

Helpful in clarifying a lot of the online content for the course. He also did a guest lecture that was really interesting. Nice to look at.

Dr. Vesprini has so many ways to help you while you're at home and his exams are very fair. All the questions are taken straight from the slides and the textbook can come in handy for the assignments.

Vesprini is one of fairest profs when it comes to exams/assignments. He tells you exactly what hes looking for and encourages you to ask him questions. Really knows his stuff, but get ready to read because theres a lot of material you need to know.

He is very knowledgable and will only test from his lecture slides. If he mentioned it in lecture or on a slide, it is testable. Even if it is a small picture out of a 100 slide lecture, he will ask you about it. He is very fair in that he tells you this, but his tests are hard. I never feared multiple choice so much.

Best prof at Brock. Very fait

He was alright

I took this course over the Spring. Dr Vesprini was good! Always answered questions but also mentioned a few times that everything was found in the slide or text book. You need time for this course - there is a lot of work but overall I found the course great and intriguing. His multiple choice went from really easy to really hard. Good luck!!

This is a tough course as there is a lot to learn. Testing is fair with respect to what is taught throughout. If you focus you will do fine. If you have questions get them cleared up pronto so that you are able to fully understand the curriculum at hand. Would definitely take another course with him. Final is a curve ball so be prepared.

Everything on the test is from the lecture slides. Textbook of no use unless you want to go out of your way to learn more than what is going to be on the test. You can be tested on the smallest detail on the slide. Always available if you have any doubts. Very responsive to email questions. Review lectures are crucial.

Rocked so many socks off he has a pile in his office. Reality check though, if you want to be handheld call your mom and ask her to console your insecurities. This guy know the ins and outs of Neurobio and is willing to teach you if your willing to put in the effort to learn. If you aren't that kind of student, switch to Communications.

Great Prof!!

Great learning experience with Dr. Vesprini, he made biology easier than usual.

Great professor. He explains everything in great detail and does a good job at being clear with his explanations. He is always open to answer class questions during lecture and online.

easier online class I've ever taken, so detailed any major even non-science major won't have a problem, not cumulative, online midterm, 5 labs quizzes and a final

No complaints about Dr. Vesprini. It is your typical human physiology/biology class. The two tests and the exam were kind of tough but I found the two written assignments to be interesting and relatively easy. If you actually enjoy biology and human physiology this class is a good one to take.

good proff, just make sure to read the course documents

Responds to email rapidly. Clear course outline. Wish class was in person.

taking this course as a context credit. easily one of the quickest to respond to email proffs ive had. lectures are great, especially being back in person and on campus. very detailed oriented but always willing to help. makes me more interested in sciences.

taking online biol labs for first year. super fun labs and light workload. responds to emails instantly. was worreid about an online lab but he makes it fun. papers to read are tough but worth while.

this proff teaches a lab section of the course for nurses. great labs so far. detailed and challenging readings but he makes it fun and enjoyable. learning a lot. wish this could have been in person.

just wrote proffs midterm. super fair. time was a bit tight but given it was an online exam that sort of makes sense to stop cheating. if you stay on top of things in the course you will learn a lot but all manageable. would take anything else they teaches

Easy midterm. Cool material

Just wrote his midterm. Was worried given some of the feedback from this class in other years. Test seemed fair. Detailed and specific but he told us to know the details so it all seemed reasonable, just a lot of material to know but we sorta knew that going in

midterm grade was fair. course is detailed but very enjoyable. not sure if hes changed content from previous reviews but if you follow what your told the course is pretty good and grading is reasonable.

So far so good. Final project is intimidating but if you work at it but by bit it's ok, really just hard to learn this 3d protein program. Definitely use the help sessions.

Wrote midterm yesterday. Seemed very fair. Super fast to get a response back when emailing. Lectures were interesting especially since I'm not a science major I found the material exciting

Great proff for fall semester. really seems to care about students and very passionate about what he teaches. detail oriented but he was clear that for the course topics the details mattered. Would recommend to anyone needing a science context credti

Great proff to chat with after lecture. midterm Test was detailed but he spent weeks prepping us and besides it sorta goes with the nature of the content we were learning. Review sessions were great and defenetly worth it. Labs were ok but my group had missing members

exam was detailed but fair since he told us. answers email crazy fast. seems to care alot

Great proff. Always available to help. Exam was fair. Not a fan of science but this course was good

not sure about the poor reviews for the project. i got a good mark on mine but i followed the directions. like if he said we needed to spend time on it going into detail i didnt take it as a bluff. review sessions were super useufl, helped me avoid easy mistakes. difficult but interesting project

Just wrote final. Was nervous after the midterm but seemed super fair. Will update/edit if the mark is bad but I left feeling good. Guy responds stupid fast to emails. Best proff for response time

exam was long but fair. hes big on details but that fits with the content we learn. follow his directions and everything goes really well. wish this course was in person.

great proff. easy course easy exam.

Great prof. Course was hard but he gave us a bonus because the assignment was hard to do with covid. Guy responds in minutes to emails

exam was fair. assignment was hard but offered loads of help. would take again if offered

great course. easy exam. learned more than i thought but in a good way

Final assignment was hard but learned a lot and he gave is a bonus. Final exam was fair as long as you remembered structures. Responded to my emails faster than any other proff. Wants you to do well. Good proff.

Great proff. Good course, especially since science isn't my main interest. Definitely recommend taking.

Great proff. helped us out for the final project. Is passionate about the stuff he teaches. The course is hard work but really interesting and would take again

Hard course but worth the effort. Really cool content. Analysis heavy

Course content was hard but prof was really great. Available all the time, responded to most my emails within an hour. Always in the chatroom answering qiestions. Lecture videos are long but detailed. Saved me from spending days reading the textbook. Assignment s were super interesting but took some time to put together.

Great proff. Seems to care alot and always answers emails fast. Great course

great proff. had him for the first half of a course on cancer, second half the brian. easy person to approach, always replies to email. would take again

Just wrote proffs midterm. Straightforward and pretty easy.

Midterm was fair. Responds to emails pretty quick.

took this online in winter. great course. proff responds fast to emails. recommends

Tough course with lots of details but fair grader. Would be nice if so offered as in person post covid

Great course...learned a lot more than I thought I would. Very fair exam....labs were a bit long but super worth it

great course and great proff. responds to emails very fast and chats with the class online regularly. really seems to care. glad to have taken the course.

took course on brain for elective. straightfoward and farily easy if you pay attention. workload manageable but final exam was a bit of owrk

Took this course as a mature student not having had been in a science course in years. Course was clearly outlined and easy to follow. Proff engaged in many conversations and made everyone feel at ease. The course was pretty easy provided you consistently put in the effort to stay on top of things. Great course overall

ok course. not my fav content but proff tried to make it interesting

Good course so far. Learning more than I planed but Ill need it for med school anyway so no complaints. Course chatroom is quiet but kinda expected given its a summer course and online. Lectures are heavy but we dont have labs.

Super fair proff. Rogers outage was on the day of the exam so he offered multiple tests on different days and we could pick which one we wanted to take.

Great course, learned alot of interesting things. Finished the course much more interested in this area compared to when the course started. Workload was reasonable, especially since it's online and can be done in my schedule. Would recommend.

This professor is amazing! Very kind, goes out of his way to make the content understandable and also has no problems taking questions during lectures, after lectures or on the chat room. He definitely seems to care about students succeeding. Midterm exam questions were also extremely fair.

(Science Credit) [Cancer; Human Perspective] The lectures were somewhat captivating. Dr Vesprini is extremely knowledgeable, any questions I asked were answered quickly. midterm+final 75% of final grade quizzes 25% If you need to take a science context credit at BU and would like to learn something besides astronomy I would recommend this class.

Great course and great teacher. Would take again.

Great course, since Im not a science type person.

Good info. Great for my program since I need a science credit. Prof responds quickly to email.

BIOL 1P23 (Cancer a Human Perspective) was one of my favourite course to take. It was interesting and easy to follow along, as Dr. Vesprini really explains everything easily using metaphors and examples. As long as you watch the lectures and do the labs (which are very easy don't worry), you'll do fine on your exams. Loved this course.

Just rote his midterm. Super fair. Interesting material. Honestly seems enthused and happy to be teaching. If youre looking for a interesting course with a reasonable worload this seems to be a good choice.

So far so good but havent had the final yet. Even though some didnt like the midterm he gave us 3 or 4 review sessions online for 2 hours each. If yu ask him questions he seems very happy to help. Take his advice for what to know and you seem to do well. Labs are ok if you get their point.

I really enjoyed Dr. Vesprini as a professor; his teaching style was very understandable and he explained all the concepts simply. His tests were fair, although I struggled with several weekly quizzes since they sometimes seemed not to be based on the resources he provided. He was always available to answer questions in the chat.

Bio1170. For myself relatively inexperienced in biology, it was alot to understand in a short period of time and that reflected in my grade. Great teacher! Direct, encouraging, available to answer questions via email and after class. Encourages students to engage during lecture, and never made me feel afraid to ask a question.
