Very very nice guy, makes lab a blast. Let's you come up with new ideas for your "challenges" and let's you have fun. Great teacher I'd recommend him to everyone.

very nice teacher. Let's you be creative and is always there for help. Very nice guy. would recommend to anyone

He's great. Very nice, very fun. The lab is good, you learn a lot but you have fun at the same time.

Great teacher, very excited about biology. Willing to help during office hours. His tests are very fair.

awesome in lab. such a funny n nice guy. exams are fair. i would reccommend him.

One of my favorite teachers so far this year; I'd recommend him to anyone intrested in biology or science. Easy to go to outside of class as well!

great class!!! I can't say enough great things about Dr. Pagan. He's an expert in pharmacology and really wants you to do well in the class. Would definitely recommend taking.

Had Dr. Pagan for lab. Very nice and easly going. Always willing to help you out if you have questions.

Nicest guy you'll meet.. but the material in his lectures is kinda boring. He'll ask you if you're awake a lot.

Really nice professor I would recommend him, if you have to take another science or something. His concepts are really easy to understand and he takes time to explain harder topics.

Dr. Pagan is the man. Best biology lecturer i ever had. I would definetly take him for another class. He knows what he is talking about. Just study the powerpoint slides he puts up and you are guaranteed a good grade. Lets not forget: "Stupid Joke of the Day! There i got that out. Hey! I cant help it"

Very nice! BIO 110 is sooooo incredibly easy though. Always a "stupid joke of the day":)

nice guy, helpful

Origins of Life and the Universe: Taught by Pagen & Necastro, Both Teachers Love their subjects and are top professors in their Fields. However neither has skill at "Teaching" or holds a Teaching certificate. At least take an EDP200 course. Lecturing for 90 minutes is not teaching it's lecturing!

He was absolutely handsdown a wonderful professor. Very helpful and jokes a lot. Not too funny but his corny jokes make him funny. You will enjoy the class I had him for BIO-110. Not mandatory to come but if you go he does use up class time to go over everythig. He honors his syllabus.

This guy LOVES Biology. If you get your hands on the back tests, you're guaranteed nothing lower than an A-. It's hard to get a grip on Biology though because it seems like this course skim the surface of Biology. But, if you want an A, go for it. Pagan is a nice professor and very helpful. He's willing to take time to help a student.

Good professor, but the book is pricey and useless. Lectures are peppered with corny jokes to keep the students awake, which is actually necessary because the powerpoints are over detailed, hard to look at, and very boring. Dr. Pagan is a good guy himself, but hard to comprehend if you take him in a huge lecture hall.

NICEST GUY EVER. He cares about his students & wants you to succeed. If you have any problems just go to his office hours. Come to class. Don't rely on the backtest from previous years come exams. Tests are easy as long as you look at the powerpoints. TIP: pay close attention to the pics on the ppts. Lots of test questions/concepts come from them.

He is one of the most caring professors at wc. Lab is easy and will boost your grade a ton. Go to class, listen, take notes and it's cake. Overall really genuine, caring prof and loves biology and teaching.

BIO 110 was very hard, but Dr. Pagan really does care about his students and will help you.

Great professor. Really cares about every one of his students. If you do bad on a test go to his office hours. he will help you understand difficult concepts. Don't rely on the backtests. they are absolutely useless. this semester was 10 times harder compared to the back tests. Once you're past the language barrier he is easy to understand.

Pagan is so nice! I have him for chem lab this semester, and he is beyond helpful! He'll answer any and every question you have and cracks jokes when the class is starting to get slow. I would definitely recommend taking him!

I would recommend taking Pagan. He is very kind and approachable, a regular guy who happens to know a lot about biology. He loves his subject and it shines through in his teaching. I took his class over the summer and it was very intense-a test every week and labs every day except for Fridays.

I very much liked him but at times I felt like he was breezing through some of the material, which I understand because he has a lot to cover. I think he's a very funny and good professor and I'd probably take him again. Just be prepared to do a lot of reading.

Very thick accent that takes some getting used to and moves fairly quick. You do not need to go to every lecture (although I did) because he posts his power points and his tests are strictly from the power points. Goes into more depth than is necessary bc he used to teach BIO110. Respectful of his students. Challenging, but I recommend.

Good professor. His slides have all the info you need to know for tests. Sometimes test material can be confusing like he'll put small detail from the slides onto the test. Go to lecture he explains things well. Really nice guy too

He was a good teacher for a lecture hall and explained everything well. He is very passionate about Biology and easy to talk to if you go to visit him. Gave a lot of extra credit for our class. The lab quizzes are important and will really boost your grade you do well.

Your grade in Pagan's class is determined by 4 tests worth 50 points each and 100 points worth of online labs. The labs were insanely easy and you're basically guaranteed an A on them. The tests were pretty easy as well if you review his powerpoints. I did little to no studying outside my tutoring group and got As on every test.

He was one of the nicest and most entergetic professors I had last semester. The class is difficult but if you study the PowerPoint s and read the text you'll do great! I wish I could take him again, he's and awesome guy.

Dr. Pagan is such a nice man! Make sure you attend lectures!! He doesn't take attendance however, it makes a difference. His exams are very detail oriented so make sure you cover all of the material on the powerpoints. He is willing to help explain material to you during office hours or even after/before class. I would definitely take him again!

I was worried about taking Dr. pagan's class at first. Make sure you read and attend class. A lot of material on the test comes from his PowerPoints and he's big on diagrams. He tends to emphasize certain parts of lectures that will be on exams. He is especially good at explaining difficult topics in easy to understand language. Also, get a tutor.

He is so funny and really wants to make sure you understand the information. I would definitely take him again. There is a lot of information that requires a lot of studying and the class moves pretty fast but overall he makes the class enjoyable to attend.

Dr. Pagan deserves more credit than he's been given on here.. again, it's the students who do not want to spend time reading through the slides or showing up to class. Aced all tests- read the notes and I don't see how you can't pass them.. its basic high school biology that anyone at this level should be able to do. Your grade reflects effort.

Dr. Pagan has the most intimidating syllabus ever. Very strict with grading and is they type of professor that will just answer you with "read the syllabus". That being said, this class was very easy. The notes are all posted online and few people attend lecture (going helps). Take lab seriously, the quizzes end up being like 32% of your grade.

Its all lecture. He doesnt take attendance but he gave extra credit once when people kept not showing up. He doesnt care if you pay attention so just go and do something else. Hes very passionate and tries to make the info stick. Dont skip laps no matter how tempting, they take literallly 10 minutes max.

He's an overall normal professor. The labs were easy and online, all you have to do is show up. The lectures take the whole class but he posts all of the powerpoints that will be on exams.

Pagan is a good professor. I'd recommend printing out the slides because he goes through the powerpoint very fast. He tries to make jokes, and he always waits for a laugh. He does this to try and wake the class back up. Labs are done on the computer and the questions are always from the lab so you can find the answers there.

Professor Pagan is extremely nice but his tests are sometimes all over the place. The tests are based on a lot of different topics and he doesn't specify what to study. However, the labs are really easy and helped my grade a lot. Go to lab it will help! He also doesn't take attendance and just reads off of slides the whole class.

I didn't get a great grade in this class because it was my freshman year and I was still getting used to studying. Regardless, Pagan really cares about his students and wants them to do well. He does his best to make lectures interesting by incorporating jokes. If you put in the work and go to class, this class would be cake.

One is awesome, he tries to be funny and its rather entertaining. He knows what he is talking about and is passionate, but tests are very hard and they basically equal your grade.

One Pagan truly is a fantastic father figure of a teacher. He's very sympathetic to difficult situations students have, just make sure you read the slides daily and keep up in the textbook because a 137 term quizlet based off the slides is not enough to get you an A on the test. The only grades are lab and tests, lab answers are all on the internet

I took the summer class, which was a breeze. Study, take notes and the test will be easy. The answers for the labs are all on quizlet. Do read the book he has questions from them on the tests.

I thoroughly enjoyed taking Dr. Pagan's class. He is clear about grading, and if you study you should do fine on the exams. He does include the same question worded differently sometimes, and you do have to read the assigned chapters of the book because he pulls questions from the text directly, but he tells you what chapters to read in advance

I was worried cause of these mixed reviews,i am so bad at bio I always failed it,plus the course is 5 weeks but I liked going to classes with Pagan. He explained things simply and in multiple ways he can talk fast but i record the lectures I studied like i never studied before,worked hard, and am ending the class with a B+ or A. He truly cares.

The class wasn't super hard it's really about how much you study. He was easy to understand and he's very nice and tries to make class somewhat enjoyable. You take like 4 test and a final I think or 3 tests and a final. So that sucks because nothing else really helps your grade.

My favorite professor this semester. Funny guy, loves what he's teaching. Don't skip the class (even if it's an 8am) because the stuff he says in class DOES show up on exams. As far as labs go, I always did them at my scheduled time but in my own dorm or a friend's dorm. Answers mostly all online

He was the best professor I had this semester. You will definitely have to put in work and make sure you go to class because he often says what is going to be on the exams. You only take 4 exams the entire year but if you get a tutor and stay on top of your notes it is easy to get an A.

Dr. Pagan was a great professor. He didn't take attendance & didn't give homework. Your grade in this class is up to you if you decide to go to class and study. This class is based on 4 tests and labs (which will save you because they are easy and save your grade so take your time) so studying is a must. I studied reallllly hard and got an A.

I had Pagan for Bio100 lectures. While it can be a hard class, he tries to make it as easy as possible. You don't necessarily need to attend the lectures because there is no assignments or quizzes. The labs are instructed by one of his four assistants. They do not care if you talk or work together. EASY LABS! They boost your grade at the end.

A great professor. His lectures are optional and basically, he will read over the presentation that will be posted onto D2L. His tests are pretty straightforward and not difficult if you prepare for them.

Dr. Pagan is a great professor! He made Bio 110 Lab entertaining and explained the concepts in depth. I absolutely recommend him for any prospective Bio 110 students.

Dr. Pagan is a great professor. He is straightforward and clear on what to expect for exams, the labs are fairly easy, and the homework is based on questions from the chapters of the textbook. If given the option to take Pagan, I highly recommend it. He gives amazing lectures and offers bonus points occasionally. If you don't study you won't pass.

Classes are lecture based- he reads the slides BUT always says extra test info not on slides. DO NOT skip a class, you will be lost and miss crucial info. HW quizzes are straightforward and labs are easy and do not take whole class time. Exams can be difficult but if you prepare, you will be okay. Pagan is a sweetheart and very helpful.

Pagan Is the nicest person I have met in very long time, and he genuinely cares about his students and the subject. However, we only did about 50% of the lab work as other classes and he would rather lecture the material then give hands on experience. Overall, he is an amazing professor but should be teaching the lecture class and not the lab

He was a great individual, very kind and caring, but his exams had nothing that he would lecture us about and that were not in the labs. It made it very difficult to achieve a good exam grade because I would study and it would all be for nothing. The only thing keeping my grade up were the labs, without those I would have failed the course.

Professor Pagan seemed very excited about teaching. He answered any questions that came up. His tests were somewhat difficult but doable.

He does an great job explaining information based off of the slides; I recommend taking notes before class that way you can pay attention to what he is saying and add onto your notes during the lectures. He genuinely cares about his students well-being and wants to see his students succeed.

He's a very sweet man and sometimes likes to make jokes. He reads off of his powerpoints he uploads on D2L & elaborates more on them. I wouldn't say attendance is mandatory but it's helpful to go since the material can get more in depth later on. We have a total of 3 exams & 1 Final & we were allowed to use our notes on Exams. would take again

I was very nervous for this class, but he turned out to be a sweetheart. He has three exams and a final, a weekly homework quiz, and several lab grades to give you your average. Theres a lot of grades to make up if you didn't do good on an exam. Everything is online for this class. Go to lecture, he loves seeing his students.

He is such a sweet, genuine, caring professor. The homeworks were relatively easy if you fully read and understood the readings. Make sure you study for the exams, there are 3 of them and a final. The labs are easy and are just to help boost your grade. Be sure to go to class because he gives hints and examples of what is on the exams.

Pagan is a sweetheart! He was always able to give clarification to students with questions. He was always very happy and lighthearted while teaching and very respectful. He does go over his notes very very fast so its important not to miss a class.

Prof, Pagan was so so sweet and such a nice man with a clear enthusiasm for teaching. He definitely made class fun. Weekly homework definitely required some reading and understanding of the subjects and the labs were good grade boosters. Study for the tests, they're really hard.

Professor Pagan is a pretty good professor. All powerpoints are posted on d2l, labs aren't bad at all, and there is a weekly homework reading quiz but pretty easy, its also good to have so its not all exam based. Exams arent too bad either, I just reviewed the slides then I was good. I recommend him for this course, I would take him again.

Enjoyed his BIO100 class.

Dr. Pagan is a very nice professor and genuinely cares about you. His test are very hard to study for, a lot of questions aren't even on the notes, but you can take them online. The labs are mandatory and pretty easy to cheat on using chatgpt, or google. Homeworks are also hard. Make sure to do the extra credit in the begining it will save you

Great professor who just wants his students to be interested in his content. Makes lots if jokes that you may not find funny but it helps keep you interested in lecture-heavy classes. Lecture attendance was not taken EVER but LAB attendance is mandatory. Nice and routine layout week to week.

Dr. Pagan was so fun to have as a lab professor. He always came to class with a smile on his face and a clear passion for his work
