class was boring but he took attendance which is exra credit. and offers a lot of extra credit so its impossible to fail if you do all the exra credit.

He's a good teacher. I took him for Environment and Biology, and his Environment class was harder than his Biology class. The tests were multiple choice, short answer, and essay. The mult. choice was easy but the short answer and essay were really hard.

On some aspects he is easy, on some he is hard. Most importantly, he works with you to facilitate learning & tries to help you earn your best grade. He's very knowledgeable, kind & funny in class. I took 1 class w/ him & sought him out 3 yrs later for 2 more. He made these hard classes manageable.

A really good biology teacher, he cares about what he does and is friendly to his students. The class is a lot of memorization but he makes the information as clear as possible and sometimes offers extra credit worksheets. He doesn't make you feel stupid to ask questions.

Good professor, helpful, funny, clear. Made biology exiting and entreteining. I will definetely take another of his classes and recommend him to other students.

I'm taking him for the 6 week summer term. At first I thought he'd be hard, but after time he starts to know the students and knows how much we can take. We were supposed to have 6 tests w/ final, but instead we're going to have 5 tests with no final because of time. He really works with his students and he makes the class interesting and fun.

This is one of the best professors for biology, he does like to talk though lol. He will work with you on everything and really cares about the students and their grades, he gives lots of extra credit and exams are so so, but if you're a bio major definitly take him, you will learn tons and remember almost everything!

He's a great teacher...His class was interesting....he gives a whole lot of extra credit...his exam were ok....he provides more than enough materials in order understand the chapters. Overall his a great teacher...i'm taking him for the other half....

Good teacher

This is one of the best professors for biology, he does like to talk though lol. He will work with you on everything and really cares about the students and their grades, he gives lots of extra credit and exams are so so, but if you're a bio major definitly take him, you will learn tons and remember almost everything!

HE IS A VERY SWEET TEACHER.HELPS YOU OUT ALOT..GIVES TONS OF EXTRA CREDIT.HE HELPS YOU WITH ALL ASPECTS OF BIOLOGY...HE IS FUNNY AND IS AVALIABLE TO HELP AT ALL TIMES.HE FACILITATES LEARING! TESTS ARE A BIT HARD BUT IF U STUDY THE NOTES THEN U WILL DO FINE!

First of all, this class is not a walk in the park. Tons of information to memorize. This professor makes it less painful if you're willing to work, tons of extra credit and lot's of opportunities to boost your grade. Got a B in 1010C and an A in 1011C

If you want to tap into the "magic" of science, Prof Marin is your man! A walking encyclopedia of bio knowlegde, Prof Marin can explain complex systems in very basic and understandable terms. (and his tangents help to see the bigger pic) Not an easy A, but his combination of passion with tech expertise makes this a "must take" prof for bio majors!

The best bio professor at BCC. Gives tons of "out of classroom learning experiences" (for extra credit). Helpful and clear. Learned a lot with him and still remember it. His tests are "challenging" but possible.

One of the best Professors in BCC, If you are a biology major, this is the best teacher, he will do anything to help you strive in your career as well as any goals you need to reach. Even though he likes to talk a lot, I remember a lot from his classes and they are helping me a lot on my upper division classes in FAU. Thanks professor!

Good Teacher, pretty easy but has an accent. Gives out Extra Credit. A good teacher to take.

Great Teacher! super nice guy! He tries his best to make you understand and is very helpful, gives extra credit. His tests are a little hard but not impossible. Take him if you can!!

he is a great teacher but tests are somewheat difficult, if you study u will pass, not an easy A

Excellent teacher, very intelligent and extremely helpful. Offers extra credit to help boost up grade, but test's are pretty hard. His lecture notes are not too helpful, I just basically read the book for his tests.

HE IS VERY HELPFULL

He clearly loves what he teaches and will stay after class to help you learn something if you are having trouble. He is also very nice. If you do your work, you will do well in his class.

Great professor. he has a bit of a tendency to go off on tangents but overall i got an A just by attending all classes and reading the book once. His lab was simple. Dont be shy to ask him questions though.

He is very nice, but hard to understand. Not his accent but the way he teaches. I came to every class and took all the notes and still did bad. He tries to help you though. I just didn't do well with his teaching style. He uses alot of computer illustrations. You have to take notes and he says read the chapters at least 4 times each. He's not kiddi

He's a great teacher! He gives extra credit and all his tests are multiple choice and passible if you just read the chapter. I hardly ever went to class, but I would advise everyone else to go because his lecutres do help alot. Whenever I missed alot of classes I would just read the chapter and I did fine on the tests.

He is a great teacher, very helpful, and always available for you. His tests are multiple choice,a little challenging (you need to think). I got an A in the class by reading the book. Tests are based on the book, don't have to bother taking the notes. He has a cool accent and very handsome !!!

LAB: He is great, helpful, nice, easy tests and lab reports. Great accent and extra credit

I took him because of this page, and I cant praise him enough, he really is amazing, i had him for lecture and lab at the same time and enjoyed every class.If you need a great bio teacher that actually cares about students, take him.

He gives out outline notes for the chapters & im not a fan of reading the book, which works out really well if you pick up on things fast. He gives tons of extra credit. He does rush through on the chapters where he it gets intense so dont expect much of ACTUAL learning. Just depends on what your taste is on learning.

the class is pretty boring.. i personally don't like bio but anyways. he is not bad, he explains everything, the tests are pretty hard, he gives extra credit but not enough.. if u want an A you need to study hard.

i didnt get a very high grade in his class but he is a very nice guy.. its just the material that sucks..

I was struggling and doing poorly in the class. He took time out to help. FANTASTIC TEACHER! He takes an intimidating subject (Biology) and makes it user-friendly. Loved his lectures!

he is a great professor. he is not soft on you at th point were he spoon feeds you the information but he makes it easy. i learned alot about my enviroment. andim thankful to have geat teacherlike him. if you are a person that doesnt like to rea or pay attention dont take him but if you are a serious person take. great teacher

He is very nice and tries to make class fun. the material; however, is totally different to what they teach you in college, you can get a good grade just by reading the book, but attendance for his calss is mandatory!

This guy is tough. His tests are the type of multiple choice you see on standardized entrance exams. That said, he is willing to help outside of class and if you can get past the accent he explains things very well. I would rather have him again than the professor I am taking for my second biology course. Plus he's kinda cute.

Marin is for people who wants to learn biology to really get into the medical field they want to study; he's not for jokers who just want to scrape through. He does hold the class after because there is so much info. but he's really great at explaining in details what he's teaching. Some chapters he needs to spend more time on others not as much.

Are you up for a challenge? If not, dont take him. He's not impossible but he's hard. His lectures are GREAT, he's a GREAT person and truly cares about his students. Tests are 75 questions - STUDY! He says "make Biology a part of you".. he's right, atleast if you want to excel in the course. Goes out of his way for you & teaches you alot about LIFE

Professor Marin is a very good professor, very smart and love teaching, but......if you are going to take him, make sure you are not taking any other class. he is very helpful but you must read the book. His tests are really hard, he do not give reviews so you have to read the book.

I LOVE HIM!!! I had him for 1010 lab and loved him so much I built my whole schedule around his class for the winter semester. So did a lot of other people! He really does care about his students and will go out of his way to make sure we understand the material. His tests are a little difficult but they are multiple choice. Take him!!!

Marin is a good professor. biology is not an easy subject but you should do fine if you are dedicated.He expect a lot of effort from you. his test are not easy you really have to study and you must purchase the text book. he provides plenty of extra credits " complete as much extra credit as possible" it will help at the end.

ughhhhhhhh!!! this class is so hard! if you study A LOT ( like everyday ) and pay attention in class and read the chapters like 3 times, you can get a B ( and thats WITH extra credit ) but besides that he is a really really nice professor and gives a lot of hand outs to help you study and encourages his students to try their best!

He uses obscure material on the test taken from the textbook. He makes the class sound difficult in the beginning of the semester to get uninterested students to drop, but he dropped a test and the final was take home. He is usually late to class and office hours, but really cares if you show a genuine interest and will make sure you succeed.

Excellent teacher. Knows his subjects[BSC1010 and BSC 1010L] very well. In a Sentence: He Goes above and beyond the call of duty. Those who give him a rating should blame themselves first.

Professor Marin is very knowledgeable in Biology & is very interested in explaining in detail any question a student has.Like any science course, you have to do your own studying & not just rely on lecture notes. If you read the chapters a few times you should have no problem getting at least a B. Lecture is boring but its biology not entertainment

I had Nilo for bio 1 and 2 and bio 1 and 2 lab... So 4 classes in total. I absolutely loved him. He is a great professor and is there to help and explain everything. You do have to read the text, every chapter to pass the test b/c his tests r from the book not power point. But he was awesome! I'm taking him for anatomy lab this semester!

Hands down, one of the best biology teachers at BC. If you are looking for a challenge and want to learn biology, this is the class to take. You NEED to study the textbook and his powerpoints together. He is always willing to help. Excellent professor, will be taking him again for BSC1011.

DO NOT TAKE THIS TEACHER! im an A student and so far im get a C by the skin of my teeth. He makes all his tests like they were an MCAT or PCAT and for students who are bad testers in the SAT's that will screw you over. This is Broward College, we're not taking our MCATS and the tests shouldn't be that. save your gpa. you have to b a genius in bio.

those who gave Marin a bad rating are lazy and were expecting an easy A. Yes, his tests are hard, which is why you need to study a lot for them. However, he provides you with the resources (and common sense) to do well in his class, plus offers extra credit. There's no reason you can't get at least a B in his class by putting the effort into it.

It was a pleasure to be in Marin's BSC1010 class. An excellent professor and a very helpful person. He made biology a fun class. His class is NOT an easy A: you have to study hard and come to class. Anyone who failed or did bad did not put the time into it. I got an A in his class, so it is definitely possible. I will be taking him for 1011.

the hardest, but the best!

This is a really good class to take if you want a solid foundation in biology. He is very fair, gives extra-credit opportunities, and goes over what will be covered on tests. His tests are long and difficult but if you study for them you can pass them. He was pretty good in lab too. I would take him again!

I had him for both 2010 and 2011. He was awesome! He really does everything he can to make you get an A. Of course you have to study...but he is still very good

yes, the tests are hard, but they require you to think and not just regurgitate the material. His tests are very passable as long as you STUDY STUDY STUDY! If you don't put the effort into it, don't expect an A or even a B. read the textbook chapters thoroughly and attend every class, and you should have no problem getting an A.

Prof Marin is a great teacher. He is very funny and willing to go out of his way to help. He scheduled a practical on his Birthday just to help me! The class is not the easiest but he is a fair grader. Take this class if you want to learn.

Hard class, you NEED TO STUDY. He is one of the best bio professors I have had. No offense to previous raters, but this is a bio class for SCIENCE MAJORS. I'm at UM now, and I wish the professors here were like him. If you think this is hard, wait until you are at another university. He prepares you well for university biology. You must study!

Really great teacher, but moves way to slow for chapters an some questions that werent covered in the lecture would be on the test. His tests are fairly difficult but I took my own notes. questions are based on connections mostly instead of definitions. He is very helpful but not so clear, stutters a lot. Got an A but worked hard. i would reccomend

very good teacher but it's like he is preparing his students to take the MCAT or PCAT. tests are ridiculous. knows how to teach but excepts us to know every detail of what is covered in the chapter.I recomend for (pre-med) only as his class will challenge you thoroughly

I only had him for the lab, but he was a good enough professor. Make sure you do ALL the review questions in the lab books. That's what his quizzes are on. He will always help you in lab if you don't understand.

Ok I don't know why this guy at the bottom is complaining he probably was that guy a 31% in the class. Ok you do study for your butt of but he prepares you so good for upper level bio. really helpful, gave me like 10 answers on the final that got me a 98 in the class. must take if you are serious about your major. great professor overall

I only had him for lab, but he is a great professor for lab!! I learned more in lab from him than I learned in lecture. Do pre-labs and review the questions from the lab report and you will do fine. The only thing I didn't like was he would sometimes be late for class up to 15 minutes and then run over his allowed time which caused me problems.

An amazing professor who knows his stuff very much well and knows how to teach. He's rather tricky but at least you will learn and not just get an easy A. Be prepared to be challenged and pay lots of attention, Biology isn't an easy class as it is. He's a fair professor and anyone who says otherwise is just a poor student.

People who are giving him poor ratings are obviously not putting in the time required for studying. You cannot expect him to make it easy for you and hand out a good grade. He does an excellent job at what he does and is VERY helpful. Would definitely recommend him to other people. Best bio professor bar none.

He is the BEST. Prepares you for the University classes plus the MCAT

Is really difficult but you have a lot of opportunities with him he drops a grade you can retake the lowest one and he always make a curve and the end. NEED TO STUDY A LOT

You have to study! He's an amazing professor, teaches you all the small details that are important. He's amazingly nice and charismatic and very professional. Don't take if you know you can't study well.

Class consisted of 4 exams and a quiz for every chapter plus TONS of extra credit. Really great guy and always willing to help. BE SURE TO READ YOUR BOOK! you should be doing that regardless, but it's the best way to succeed in this course.

Hes smart, friendly & willing to help. There are 4 exams, quizzes on each chapter & some extra credit crossword puzzles! I never used my textbook & got an A in the class. Some people read everything & still failed. Listen, pay attention & take good notes during class. He tells you what to focus on for each test if you listen carefully. I loved him!

I had him BIO lab,then again for BIO II and lab in the summer.The class is really intense but what else do you expect from a 6 week class. He's very helpful, gives great examples and extra credit, he also drops your lowest quiz grade. He takes a little long to get started in lab but is great in all other aspects of teaching. I would take him again!

This was my first science class in college and it was okay. If you read the book and somewhat pay attention in class you should get a B or higher on tests and quizzes. He gives out a ton of XC like crossword puzzles and surveys for textbook makers. He tends to take way too much time on chapters.

I took Prof. Marin for both lecture and lab. It's a difficult class and reading the text is a must, but overall he's a great professor! I went to his office hours often and got to know him and he's extremely helpful. He knows the material very well and has many interesting stories, as he used to be a biologist. I got an A in lecture and a B in lab.

For a general bio 1 lab class, way too much time and effort is required. However, unlike most lab classes where you're worried about getting your results just right, the lab reports barely make an impact on your grade so you can focus on learning the material. Prof. Marin is a cool person& is willing to help.If u have time to put effort in,take him

Willing to read? Want to actually learn? Then take him. No, he's not the easiest professor, but he wants you to succeed. He gives you extra credit and encourages you to visit him for office hrs. He makes biology more than just memorizing and tests your conceptual understanding.One thing though: he gets off-topic easilly and rushes toward the end.

Dr. Marin's LAB class was def not the easiest I had to study really hard to get a decent grade, If you are willing to NOT miss class, study the labs, do the lab reports, and pre labs, you WILL pass his class.

This is not an easy class but it's not meant to be. If you're not ready to put in the work required for this basic biology class, maybe you should reconsider career paths. I had Marin for both and the C's I got were generous ones. He is by no means a bad professor, I just wasn't an exceptional student. He's ready to teach if you're ready to learn.

Awesome professor! He is a great professor that wants his students to succeed. The extra credit given from the Sacheim book is an excellent learning material. He gives you a chance to retake your lowest test grade honestly how much more could you ask of him. Teaches so you understand. I feel this man class is really preparing me for the PCAT!

Great professor! Some people are just lazy and don't want to put in any work yet expect to receive an A. Professor Marin is very approachable and always ready to help. Not to mention lots of extra credit. I would definitely recommend him and I wish he was teaching it in the fall so I could do part 2 with him.

that awkward moment when you know which 2 people from your class posted the bottom 2 reviews. This professor is rigorous, but he is very helpful. I studied a lot, and I managed to get a B. If I did the extra credit, I would have got an A. Do the sacheim book, it's awesome for studying and there are a couple test questions from there. Fun class.

I took this class over the course of one half of the Summer semester, and by no means was it easy. Prof. Marin is helpful when you ask questions, so ask away, and missing a lecture is out of the question if students want to get an A. Fun class, but lots of studying required, and not necessarily from the textbook.

one of the best, if not the best professor I've taken. Yes you want an easy teacher but how will that help you and make you learn in the future? He makes an effort if you make an effort. You have to say what you think it is because he will not tell you and give you the answers. If you are wrong he will tell you why and the right answer. Best prof.

Great in lectures, he's clear and if you don't understand, he will explain until you do. There are quizzes every week, and it is based on the lab you did previously, you have to know your material. Attendance matters, because he explains most of the work. Do the labs! The labs are the only homework.

This is a great Bio Professor, His tests are tough but he gives plenty of extra credit. If you're planning on MedPharm School I would suggest taking him. His lectures are good and gives his power points online to study from. If you read the Chapter you can make a B. If you study a bit more you can make an A. I would not suggest taking this in 6wks

It's a difficult class but he is very clear and fair with grading. If you ask for help or examples he will give them. He also gives extra credit if you show up and do the work.

Best Lab professor ever! Honestly, he is such a great guy, very understanding and great at explaining information. We had a quiz for every lab and he did tend to focus a lot on the fetal pig/histology vs theoretical models. The information is difficult but honestly if you barely study or skip class you won't do well in his class or in health care.

I didn't mind him at all. He was quick to respond to questions regarding the work. There were however some issues with the dates on BCOnline, but the professor corrected anything that was brought to his attention. The exams were really hard, no study guides so be prepared to retain a lot of information. He grades assignments well. Learned A lot.

Some of the comments posted I find funny. I got an A in his bio class and yes I actually had to read the chapters and not rely on his lectures this is college people. That doesn't not make it hard and he gives so much extra credit the only way you will not get an A is if you are lazy.

He's a great Professor his lectures are long but very informative tests are hard but as long as you pay attention to the lectures and homework you will pass he is very kind and willing to help anyone and explain something if you do not understand overall a great professor.

Every week is the same; you take a quiz before class based on the lab from last class, you turn in your lab report & pre-lab, he quickly discusses the lab before you start, & you spend the rest of the class in groups following the lab's directions. He drops the lowest grade for each assignment type. He's actually very cool and helps if you ask.

I absolutely loved Professor Marin! He is very clear in terms of what he expects from you in lab and in the class. He is very kind, funny, and patient; qualities all lab teachers should have. You do have to study of course, but this class wasn't difficult to pass. I plan on taking him again for my next bio courses, he's that cool.

Excellent biology professor. Very passionate with his lecture. I toke him for Bio 1 and , i got ab A . he GIVES A LOT OF EXTRA CREDITS. If you love biology and are seeking a medical degree, you must take him.

Exams can seem daunting - study the quiz questions (!!!) & powerpoints. He is very helpful in his office hours too. Extra credit for coming to class, saves you from having to catch up on work at home. Weekly assignments, discussions and quizzes. Be organized and don't miss them. Recommend if you're self-disciplined and independent.

Prof Marin is the sweetest - he actually cares about his students. Keep in mind this class is a Lab, so you will have to work for your grade and at least know what you're doing to pass. Every class is routine, but make sure that you study for the quizzes (which are at the beginning of every class) They are 75% of your grade! Overall great professor

Great teacher a lot of work and great lectures (if you like the subject) he bumped my grade one letter grade (two points away) at the end of semester and very grateful.

excellent professor, I took BIO I and the Lab with him for the short session of summer, "lot of work", but if you want to learn, he is perfect.

He is tough but fair, gives a lot of extra credit. The test are tough but doable if you put in the time to study. Learn the concepts and don't miss class and you'll be fine. It is not easy but in reality if this class is difficult for some, wait until you start taking much harder classes. He helps you understand how tough it can get. Good luck.

LIKE ANY OTHER BIO CLASS, IT WASNT EASY. YOU DO HAVE TO STUDY AND REVIEW EVERYTHING BUT HE IS ALWAYS WILLING TO HELP YOU DO BETTER. NOT AN EASY CLASS BUT HE IS A GREAT PROFESSOR LEARNED A LOT FROM HIM

An easy A if you showed up for lectures and paid attention. The lab reports can be tedious but dont worry because he isnt a harsh grader on those. Quizzes are 75% of the grade and are on the previous lab but all the answers are in report/ what he goes over in class and there are review questions attached to each lab. Very caring & funny guy!!

Prof. Marin takes his job seriously and expects the same from you. While he is tough, biology isn't an easy subject. He does allow you to get extra credit with an optional workbook and it's obvious he wants you to succeed. Marin is an understanding man but he sees right through lies and excuses. If you want to learn, he's the man for you.

Dr. Marin is SUPER great ! He takes the time to really explain all the labs, he gives quizzes every class but if you do the lab reports then you should be fine. He is super sweet and funny, really gonna miss being in his class.

Prof Marin is amazing. He might come off as scary at first but he is nice. The only thing about the labs is that they are very long and students barely have time to finish it all. However, he is very lenient in grading lab reports and pre-labs. The quizzes are sometimes tricky. Make sure you review the lab manual before each quiz. 10/10 recommend

He is one of a kind. I love him and I feel so lucky to be inspired by him. His quizzes are extremely difficult, mostly because the material is very boring and hard. As he always says, these classes are to teach you how to learn!! He can guide you like a father so make sure you get some advice from him. I LOVE YOU PROF MARIN.

One of the best lab professors i ve ever had. He makes you work extra hard than usual but that extra work will make you learn more than you think and you will know your way around a lab by the end. The quizzes are hard but it s always questions you have answered before. The prof is amazing and explains everything. I would take him again and again.

By far the hardest lab class I have taken. BIO 2011 is nothing like BIO2010. There were 2 practicals which were hard and 80 questions each practical. I could not believe this class even required a practical this long and not even one multiple choice question. My chem lab was easier then this .

Dr. Marin was an above average professor to have. Very knowledgeable and straight forward individual. However, he can get easily consumed or distracted by in-class conversation, and as a result, time is lost in lecture.

This class in general is a lot. The professor is good. Just please make sure to study the labs Im detail for your detailed lab quizzes and start studying early for the practical.

I had taken Dr. Marin for bio 1&2 both lecture & lab. All classes were remote learning. There is a lot of information that is going to be covered in little time. He uses lockdown browser, NOT Honor lock. So you will not be recorded during exams or quizzes. There's a lot of reading & exams are about 70 Qs. He's a sweet prof & really understanding!

Professor Marin is good, I took Biology Lab with him, the labs are easy, only you have to makes your notes, because you will have a quiz about that, but its not that hard. If you missed something or make a mistake he will help you. I think is a good professor, he cares about students.

This is professor is very understanding. He replaced your final grade with your midterm, if your final grade is higher. I attendance is mandatory because he does give participation points. So if you miss class you wont get points that day. His classes in the quiz -based there is no homework its only 10 quizzes, midterm & final exam

Professor Nilo Marin is wonderful! He is really carry about his students! At the beginning I didn't understand his strategy of teaching, it took couple weeks for me... Everything is easy - just study and you'll pass your exams. Even it was short summer semester, it was a pleasure to study Lab with this professor! Good luck to everybody!

Very kind professor, he does tend to talk a lot at the beginning of labs so just prepare yourself. Quizzes are 75% of your grade so just make sure you review lab reports before class and you'll do well. If you're not a morning person I suggest you try to take a later time block because although he's nice this is not an enjoyable class at 8 am.

Professor gives quizzes at the beginning of class, from the class before. Labs are interesting and he is very caring and helpful. I would recommend taking him but not an easy A course.

Professor Marin gave wonderful lectures and took multiple approaches to explain a topic making it universal for students to understand. Great class, very respectable, but not easy! You will need to study and do lots of reading but that's just STEM classes in general.

i took Professor Marin to MCB2010L, the class in not easy. there are no textbooks. utube videos. the professor was very nice and comprehensive to extend time on assignments and exams due to family life. there is no debut the professor cares about his student. he also responds in timely manner. i wish i took his lecture class

Honestly, it's like every other STEM class! You have to read the textbook and chapters and he does a wonderful job tying his lecture to the book. The quizzes are done are home and the tests are not bad, you just have to read and study.

Nilo is a nice and reasonable professor-without an ego. This is the most content heavy class I took at BC, so make sure you do all of the readings. You will get a great biology foundation with him. You will see a lot of bad reviews from pre meds who did not put in the work and were "weeded out". You need to put in effort. Highly reccomend for CA.

I loved Dr. Marin's bio class. He taught very well, detailed and knowledgeable on the subject. You can tell that he cares about his students and wants them to learn. He was always helpful. He motivated me and gave me advice that helped me become a better student. His tests are difficult but as long as you study the book, you should do well.

I took professor Marin for BSC 2010 lecture and lab. He is kind and is open to giving you multiple chances. His lecture was very easy with little homework however reading on your own is necessary for the tests. His lab class is significantly more work than the lecture but again he is very forgiving. He gives extra credit and will reopen assignments

Amazing professor, most definitely the most lenient. He has extra credit options, take advantage! He will accept late submissions it asked. Prepare to read chapter on chapter though. Grades are quiz/homework heavy, tests take only 40% of grade. Do work early on, its a lot if it gets piled up.

Took Marin for both BSC2010 and BSC2011 in one summer. The class is very crammed if you're taking 6-weeks. Homework definitely matters, takes1-2 hours per chapter. He has extra credit for both classes but don't fall behind, the tests are long and covers everything

Nilo's bio class is tough but rewarding. Attend lectures, read the textbook, and use tools like unstuckstudy to excel. Tests are challenging, but put in the work and you'll learn a lot. Definitely worth the effort.

Excellent lab prof! Before every lab, he would explain exactly how EACH STEP should be done. Literally just pay attention. He's always willing to clarify during the lab, too. He also provided the lab reports/info online so we didn't have to pay for them. He's a bit of a tough grader, but if you're thorough in your explanations, you'll be fine.

Professor Marin is a fair professor and everything is straightforward. His course content includes everything you need to successfully pass his quizzes and exams. The class requires a lot of memorization but actually is rewarding once you realize how much you've learned. His powerpoints are your go to, to successfully pass the class. Good luck.

Amazing professor, he truly cares about you understanding. He's super funny and I was scared to take him because of other ratings but after doing so I can tell it was from people who were prob not happy with their grade. Very easy class if you just listen and it's interactive so you're not sitting for over an hour just silent.

This class required a lot of memorization and study time, but the professor managed the workload well. Virtual labs and APR activities were helpful and graded. Weekly quizzes came with clear topic lists to study, and the lowest quiz grade was dropped. Grading criteria were clear, and emails were answered quickly. Great professor for a tough class.
