Dr. Pannozzo is extremely fair, approachable, and always ready to help her students. Being the lecture portion of A&P 1, the course content focused appropriately on physiology - whereas the laboratory focused on anatomy. All tests came directly out of the text, so it was extremely important to do the assigned readings. Nice lady - Fine teacher!

She is a great teacher. you understand every thing she says. and if you don't understand something if she know she is not above asking other student. she gives extra credit. and is helpful for your grades she reviews the test a day before and understands the material is a lot so tries to cut it back for you, she is wonderful. I got a A in class

Unlike the previous submitter, I found Dr Pannozzo to be a good biology professor. She knows the material well, and is willing to go over anything with you in her office. If you are looking for an easy A, you may want to look elsewhere. If you have a real interest in biology, look no further.

I disagree with any good review listed here. I have had nothing but trouble with this teacher. She has provided the worst experience of my academic career. Genuine person, but the notes are vague and pointless in regard to the material she tests you on. No reviews. Worst of all she talks down to her students, instead of treating them like adults.

You're expected to know alot of information...tests are NOT easy. If you take her, be sure you're able to sit quiet and not say a word for an hour and 15 minutes because she talks the entire time and calls you out if you so much as ask someone for a pencil. I did well in the class but she certainly made it difficult to do so.

She is just one of the many professors who know their subject and want to pass it on to her students. Her class and her tests are not easy. She has a lot of information and expects you to know it. We are in college and things are supposed to be hard. She will prepare you for higher level courses intended for the medical field. Class was worth it.

I really do not understand the point of showing up for class. Literally, all she does is read from a powerpoint presentation.

Lectures and her knowledge do not go into the depth that tests cover and the book does not do the best to convey the depth either. You must read the chapters and have a COMPLETE grasp of the information to do well on the tests. There is alot of EC opportunity but its labourous. There is a chance to do well but you must work for it.

About 5-6 chapters of detailed material, 100 scattered questions with A-E multiple choice in 1hr and 15 min. There is no test review and she is the only Bio teacher that I know of who requires a service learning project. TAKE ANOTHER TEACHER

Not a bad professor the problem is that the class itself if very difficult because there's a ton of in depth information to be learned. The best advice I could give is to study the text book thoroughly and be sure to go to her with any questions, that's the only way to pass her tests. She gives extra credit for volunteering (which is not that bad!)

I took Professor Pannozzo's Honors Environmental Conservation (BSC1050H) and found to be quite helpful. The test are passable; just study what she tells you, also if you get perfect grades on everything else you can still come out with an A in the course. She is polite, helpful and gives credit for attendance. With hard work success is possible.

Professor Pannozzo expects you to know as much as she does and she is the editor of the lab book. She is very smart but I studied for weeks for her tests and read the book in its entirety and failed her tests. She tests on small details even though the test is on like 8 chapters. I do not recommend.

I typically dont comment on here but Prof. Pannozzo is the exception. She is an extremely difficult grader. She is rude and has ZERO compassion. I was late to her first class and she told me to drop. The homework can take up to 4 hours with all the drawing. Dont ask too many questions, she get frustrated with that. I dont recommend her at all.

This professor is a VERY difficult professor. Be expecting LOTS of homework that involve drawing every inch of the human body. You need time to study for this class at least 2 hours everyday. But the homeworks help your grade. She is not a pleasant person and you can never miss a class or you will basically fail. I do not recommend her.

I took Dr. Pannozzo for Biology I and II and yes, the subject is hard but she isn't. She will explain everything very clearly and she will be there for you in her office hours. EXCELLENT PROFESSOR!Tests and quizzes reflect 100% of what is covered in class. and READ THE BOOK! You won't pass if you don't read the book.

Very good teacher who cares a lot about what she teaches. Powerpoints are readily available on her website and she will answer ANY question you have regarding the subject matters. Her tests are very hard, even for someone like myself who tests well. Good teacher, but I wouldn't take again for future Biology classes.

She is not a good teacher. Focuses on slides and says what is on the test but then adds aditional items. She words her tests so that they are tricky. The study guides are useless. I would strongly suggest avoiding her.

When i'm telling you to do her homework I mean it. The highest I got on a test was a 70 and the highest I got on a quiz was a 78 yet I got a 84 in the class. Why? I did every homework. There are 2 tests and 2 quizzes but 14 homeworks for 20 points each. Shes HARD and could be rude at times. She expects a lot from you. I studied all night.

I will tell you right away, this class is NOT for the faint of heart! Taking this course requires a lot of reading from your textbook. Be prepared with perpetual power points because she rarely uses the textbook. This course is not an easy "A" .You have to determined and completely focused when you take this course. If not, then withdraw ASAP!

She was a pretty good teacher for the first 45 min of class, but then she realized I was not taking notes and said take notes or get out of my class. I already took microbio, A&P 1/2 and my end goal is medical school so I already knew all this stuff. I told her this and that Im staying, after class she wrote me up for not taking notes.

I took Professor Pannozzo's course a few semesters ago. I'm currently in Bio 1 for science majors since I changed my major and it was required, and I still have to use Pannozzo's powerpoints in order to have any idea what's going on in my class. Best professor and class I've taken. Tough grader but if you participate & study you can get an A.

She really cares about the subject, knows what she's talking about and she lectures with enthusiasm, though her notes don't exactly correspond to her tests. Tests are based on the book and there are only 4 the whole semester and that's the only grades. If you depend on classwork for your grade and are a bad test taker, that's the only negative.

She is excellent at teaching, very organized and tests are based on study guides. However, it is up to you to learn as much as possible from each question in the study guide. Her tests are like taking a GRE or MCAT (maximum difficulty) due to the wording, however very clear. Getting an A is possible but really got to work for it.

I enjoyed Prof Pannozzo & her class. The lecture was PowerPoint & video based with a lot of info but not hard to grasp. She would talk with the class, clarify, & review on occasion. Tests were 50-60 Q's, not too difficult (just read the PowerPoints, take notes, & read the book if needed, but I didn't need to). I love bio & she didn't disappoint!

Prof Pannozzo is a great prof who knows what she's talking about, but the lab wasn't super easy. You view PowerPoints, look at specimens, draw, take pics, & go home to do the weekly homework (wasn't too difficult). STUDY for the midterm & final practicals! Make flashcards of specimens, pictures, & key details to help. Long class, but interesting!
