Cannot understand a word the guy says!!!!

he lacked teaching ability

Gazal is the worst professor I have ever had. I have never, ever been so disgusted in my life. I reported him to the chair of the department who did absolutely nothing to address the situation.

do not take class with him!

My advice to everyone is to avoid Dr. Gazal the best that you can. If you want a good grade in his class your life has to revolve around it. The only way I passed is by the extra credit points he gives when the average score on a test is a F.

Terrible teacher. Needs to improve on his speech. CAnnot understand his accent. Lack teaching skills. Avoid his class at all means.

Gazal is extremely hard to understand. He doesn't not like questions being asked during lecture and he make you feel stupid when you do ask question. if you have to take A and P I recommend taking it at the tech college. I went from a D to an A grade. That says something for there style of teaching!

He is horrible. It's not even his accent either. He is simply a jerk. He doesn't care about his students. He once gave my class 2 quizzes in one day because some students left his lecture early!

you would think that the college would want a professor that TAUGHT the students new things. he just wants to show off how smart he is and i think he enjoys watching everyone fail. he's way too hard to understand and he's not helpful at all. he makes you feel stupid when asking questions.

He is a terrible professor! He will never answer your emails! Why he teaches I have no idea!

Online. He would never help me when I went to his office to ask for help. And I asked him to repeat what he said once, because it is very hard to understand him and his response was "Are you deaf!" He is a horrible teacher!!

it was a hard class and if you asked him for help he just told you to ask other students, it turned out the other students had the same questions i did. I thought his job was to teach, i don't know why he couldn't do that, i really wanted to learn

very hard course. lectures very difficult to understand at times because of his strong accent. nice prof. but tough course. tests questions extremely difficult.

I am taking this class online. Once a semester we meet for a lab which was completely unorganized. Way too many labs for four hours and he was very unhelpful. When you asked questions he would yell at you. Test absurdly hard. Someone needs to remind him he is teaching a 100 level class not a 400. I would never take any class from him again.

Run! He will not return your emails (online class). Met once for lab, was completely unorganized; he did not care to help. Emailed him several times, through the semester; he never responded. I wrote the notes from online, read the chapters at least twice, went to the tutoring center, and had a very hard time. Full of stress and struggles.

This Professor is a joke! He thinks he is the best professor out there. Gives difficult papers to read and doesn't help explain them, his grading sucks, long exams short time, he doesn't give points if you answer it without answering it the way he wants it. Cocky, not current information, comes unprepared and confuses everyone. Yells if questioned

RUN RUN RUN. This Professor makes easy thing difficult. Doesn't answer email or is not present during office hours. When asked question he makes you feel dum. Not a good professor, nice personality though.

I am having a difficulty understanding this Professor. He tries so much to describe easy concept from high school biology. Better yet, he thinks students don't understand it. I wish I could take it with another professor. I will not advice him for anyone.

This professor is horrible he doesn't respond to emails yells at anyone that has questions and his tests take to long when he gives you no time to do it!

HIDE! HIDE! HIDE! He is the worst professor ever. He makes easy concepts difficult. Makes students feel dumb when asked questions in class. Would not recommend him for any student, especially if you want to be in the medical field. He feels too fresh. What you study for is never on the test. The test questions are worded really funny to confuse you

By far the worst teacher I've had. He doesn't respond to emails, he never is at fault for anything, and makes you feel like an idiot if you ask a question. Teaches a 100 level class as if it was a 300+ level class. Gives out bonus points, only to put them in d2l so it goes against the rest of the students. This class is a joke. RUN, RUN, RUN, RUN!!

Gazal is not a good teacher. He goes off on rants during his lectures, making it hard to understand what is actually material and what's just random facts he feels like sharing. Has a very thick accent so its hard to understand what he is even saying sometimes. He gives 120 question tests that you only have 60 minutes to complete.

I though doing online would be convenient BUT it was NOT! PPT's useless, tests very LONG and extremely difficult (100 Q's or more and very confusing to read) Instructions & expectations are VERY unclear and the rules change frequently. Videos used to quiz you, VERY poor sound & visual quality!! This is like a bad video game and you will LOSE!!

He is a horrible teacher!! Do not expect to learn from him. He will take forever to get back to your emails. Tests are super hard with low class averages. DO NOT TAKE WITH HIM!!!! You will be VERY stressed. Definitely the worst teacher I have ever had..

I really like biology, but this class ruined it for me. The only reason I had any sort of success in the class is because I read the book and spent hours studying. I basically felt like I was teaching myself the material and it was hard. He often showed up to class late and was never present in lab.

One of the worst professors I've ever had. Worst thing about it was that you could never understand him. He never told you what was important to study for exams so you were always going into them blind. Chances for extra credit on exams but it's 15 q's you must answer in 10 mins, later he changed it to 15 mins. Profs switched out mid semester.

By far the worst professor I have ever had. He was extremely hard to understand and probably the most rude person I have ever had the displeasure of coming in contact with. I recommend taking any other professor on the entire planet before him.

Well I wanted to take this class in hopes of learning something. I preferred my high school teacher or reading wiki which are better source of learning. I regret taking the class with him. I wish I read the reviews before taking the class.

I am a Junior and have had my fair share of poor professors, but Professor Gazal is by far the worst one I have had. Yes, I can deal with a poor lecturer but not a rude one. He comes unprepared especially for Lab and makes you stay longer than class period. I do not think he cares at all about his students.

He's a terrible teacher. He doesn't listen and is never wrong. He's hard to understand and he embarrasses you if you try and ask a question because "you should know this" even though you can only decode 1 of every 3 words he says. He'll teach you one thing and you get tested on something completely different!

I took this class online, so I don't know what I was expecting. The one lab day we had was a jumbled mess and he shared no sympathy, rather he seemed to be frustrated that we didn't just KNOW what to do. The tests are straight from the book, for the most part, but that lab day was a huge part of our grade and he was not understanding in the least.

I really enjoy Biology but I do not think I will ever be able to take another Bio class again. None of the answers for test come from the book or lecture, for video quizes print the actual worksheet out and you might get a c instead of an F when you do the quiz. Worst class I have ever taken and I am a 3.9 Junior and I barely got a B because of EC.

I choose Hilarious, not because he is funny but he does not know anything. He comes unprepared and is very rude especially if you ask a question. He brings up this old papers from the 70's like they are still current and talk about it in class. He needs to update his knowledge level and his personality. I would not recommend him for anyone.

I have taken two courses with Gazal, and I would highly recommend taking someone else. He says one thing and then does another. The first two exams were based on his quizzes, and the final exam completely changed. You are told to study one thing and then tested on another.

This class makes me laugh at times... It shouldn't come as a shocker in a 400 level biology class when there are tests with 100+ questions on there. Read and pay attention and you should be fine. However... he will shut you down in class for trying to ask questions about the lecture. Also, total points of pop quizes will be equivalent to a test.

He posts the slides on D2L and whatever he doesn't feel like covering in class he'll make you read on your own and that will be the material on the exam. Changes exams, says you'll be tested on one thing and you're tested on another. Got screwed on every exam. Get ready to memorize the smallest of details, every system, function, & protein involved

This online class was a teach your self or you'll fail. Even when reading lecture, the book, and doing the study guides, the test were still VERY difficult. I would not recommend this class with Gazal EVER!

Makes things very complicated although the class is clear. Very difficult to understand his accent. No clear way of grading especially on essay part of the exam. The lab was confusing not well organized.

I took this class in online and it was extremely difficult. he did not provide lectures only the textbook and a few slideshows, with very little information that was actually on the test. this class goes extremely in depth, more than a 100level should. the prof is no help and rude so dont even bother asking.

This was one of the hardest classes I've taken so far! The exams were so tough and I felt like I had to teach myself the entire time! That being said, I did set up a meeting with the prof and he was very kind. Also, if you do well on the labs, you will pass the class (which is the only reason I passed).

This is a summer class. The professor had an quiz based on chapter 1 due on the second day of the class. Okay, fine. The real kicker is, this quiz was not even mentioned in the syllabus. The D2L was not organized at all. I dropped the class after seeing how awful it would be to try and keep up with the heavy assignments and messy class page.

This prof was very unprofessional he right away said this class is to weed out the nursing majors and get rid of you good luck. His class averages for exams were below 50% and his assistants for labs were completely unhelpful and made me feel stupid when I asked for help on lab reports.

I honestly don't know what this professor looks like or sounds like because the "lectures" are literal PowerPoints. Get ready to teach yourself.

I have never had this unprofessional of a professor before. Lecture is via zoom and he just reads the PowerPoints too quick so most my class stopped going and he threw a temper tantrum and starting giving the remaining students pop quizzes. D2L is impossible to navigate what's due and syllabus is a mess. He doesn't keep up with grading so good luck

Hard content and not many resources, google is your BFF

Don't recommend taking her for an online class. Just got finished with the second midterm IN THE MIDDLE OF SPRING BREAK, and the test contained many questions that was not be found in the study material. Awesome.

DO. NOT. TAKE. THIS. PROFESSOR! If you take him online, you have to teach yourself. If it wasn't for extra credit I would have failed. Tests are poorly written, you can't review the quizzes. The only thing to study is the long lectures. It got to the point where I guessed on the last test and got a C, which was my best grade on the tests.

I ended up withdrawing from the class after unanswered emails, poor planning, and unclear content. He fell asleep during the group presentation! After 4 weeks into the first unit we were not even done with one chapter, and the test got pushed back to compensate, I felt I was going to miss a lot of important information that is needed for pHD/MD's.
