i really like Dr.K. the class is quite difficult but he is an incredibly smart man and wonderful teacher. he does funny things in class like playing with space marbles and slinkys in order to get the class to remember the information.

I never studied for biology in high school, but this class was a big change for me. Dr. K does his best to be helpful, but the 110 class is so big it's hard to get to him to ask questions.

So glad I took this class. I had to have it for my major, but Dr. K is so much fun. He is kind of goofy, but a great teacher. Makes the material interesting and clear. Does crazy things to make students remember material. Honors section is not too bad, essay tests, class of 20. Dr. K is great!

best teacher i've had my whole life

Tough class. His review sessions and handout book help.

Dr.K is an amazing teacher! He makes the class interesting and fun. He is super helpful inside as well as outside of class.

A yanky nerd. Get last year's tests and study them and you might pass. He is a nice guy though

AWESOME teacher. Is the quintessential biology professor (very nerdy).Explains everything very well, and gives you a handout book that could fufill your every need. Very vailable to ask questions. Essay tests,but are managable. Does anything from singing to dancing to help remember info. TAKE HIM!!!

Dr. K is a great teacher. In his classes, 84 and higher is an A. If you just answer the questions in the back of each section of the handout, you will do fine. Its a tough class, but far from impossible. I learned a ton in this class, wish i was a bio major.

Excellent, hilarious teacher. He knows his stuff and makes sure you do too. The class is hella hard, but an 85 and up is an A. He's always willing to help, and does his best every week to make sure there are two review sessions. Great guy, take him if you think you can handle it!

Kosinski is great. He's very funny, and very knowledgeable. Very good class, but alot of material. Read the chapters and study his lecture manual and it's not too bad.

BIO 110/111 is a pretty hard class, but Dr. Kosiski makes it interesting and as long as you memorize the supplement book you'll do fine.

He is really interested in Biology and tries to make it as interesting and relevant as possible.

Overall, I like him a lot. The class is really hard, but if you study like you should, you'll do fine (I should listen to my own advice!!!)

great teacher

He's an awesome guy. Definitely funny, in a nerdy kinda way. love his OKKKKKKKKK that he always starts class with. just dont get him first thing in the morning. i have lines going down my paper...right along with spots of drool. it seems that every time i wake up tho, he's looking straight at me in an auditorium of 240 students....

Dr. Kosinski is the man!! He knows what he's talking about, and if you study, you will too once you get out of this class. Make sure that you keep up though. I fell behind one week because I was swamped with tests, and I missed most of the questions on what he was teaching that week. Pretty much read the book and go to class, and you'll be fine.

Dr. K is such a dork. No matter what he's talking about i can always crack a smile when he says something really nerdy (which is alot). He's a good teacher but he tends to breeze through the material. The supplement book is key. Reading the book helps alot too.

Very animated and gives great examples/analogies (some are way out in left field), but it really does help you to remember concepts come test time. I've heard the non-honors tests are pretty beastly though.

Dr Kis a very smart,nerdy,& funny. He teaches really fast & w/ other classes it gets really hard to keep up the studying. There are 5tests total...the final is like a regular test (not cummulative) The lab is annoying&you take a prelab quiz each week...he provides an online quiz to help. You have to write 3 papers for lab...time consuming!

I freakin' love this guy! Huge nerd, but real funny and smart. Moves through materical really quickly, so you have to pay attention in class. Honors tests aren't bad because they're all essay and you get to choose questions, but I hear the regular test are pretty tough. Pay attention in class and use the class handouts and you'll do fine.

It was an easy class for me, but I had a hard time going sometimes because I would get a little bored.

Dr. K = epitomy of nerdiness. He's an awesome teacher/one-man show...he's very excited, knowedgeable, animated while teaching this subject and always willing to help you outside of class. If you can't deal with sitting through the lecture DEFINTLEY go to the review sections where he answers the questions in the packet, & you're golden for the test!

Best teacher I have had at Clemson thus far. He is very energenitic and enthusiastic about biology, which helps you want to learn it. Review sessions are helpful before tests and he's always available for questions.

All I have to say to the review below mine is "that's what this class is--a weed out class." Dr. Kosinski is the best professor I've ever had, and his class is hard but manageable. I pulled all-nighters for most of my tests this semester because I didn't study before the night before the tests. Don't follow my example even though I got an A.

Dr. K was a great teacher...very animated, knowledgeable, and relevant...if you are interested in biology then you will like this class...labs correspond to the class very well...the tests are mildly difficult, but he is very fair on grading...

Material can be difficult at times, but he makes it fun.

Dr. Kosinski is the best teacher I have had at Clemson, but he was also the hardest. He gives an extremely large amount of information out and the exams will definitely be a test of your knowledge. His classes are definitely very good at giving a good foundation in Biology, I found my Vertebrate Biology class to be easy because of this experience

The best professor I've had yet. He puts a lot of work into his classes which makes them very productive and interesting, and I'm pretty sure he knows everything about Biology. Every school needs more guys like this.

He is a good teacher. tests are hard.

Dr. K is the best teacher ever. Even though doing well on a test requires to you study very hard, he makes help and information very available to you. He holds help sessions twice every Wed and once on Sun before a test. He's very helpful and wants you to do well! He's also hilarious. Great class and explains things very well. Highly recommended.

Dr. K is the best professor I have ever had. The class is difficult but if you put in the effort then you will succeed. He does everything he needs to to make sure you understand the information, so if you dont understand it then it's because you havent put in effort. Difficult class but awesome teacher!

best teacher ever. tests are somewhat difficult but if you do everything he tells you to do in order to get a good grade in the class, then theres really no reason why yo shouldn't

Really good teacher, but really hard too. Need to study a lot for the tests, go over the questions from the handout book and from previous tests if you can get ahold of them-some of the multiple choice questions in the handout book are VERY similar to those on the test! Big nerd and very funny, but class is a pain because you have to study so much.

AWESOME teacher...but SUPER hard class. Go to the review sessions they help a lot. Class is not mandatory but some of the examples he uses in class are on the test.

Interesting guy, it helps to go to the study sessions that he has almost every week. Tests are very hard and long, you have to study-after all, the final grade in that class includes just tests and lab.

The honors class was pretty easy. The tests were the easiest essays I've ever had. And Dr. K tries really hard to make the class interesting

Take the Honors class if you can. Not bad, just a lot of information and have to remember a lot (though material is not hard).

A rediculously hard class, but a rediculously good teacher. I'm in it now and if you enjoy biology, then this is the class for you. Start off strong in his class or you'll have trouble catching up. If you have trouble catching up, talk to him. This class sure is no cake walk. I'm ranked 24 out of 190 something and have a boarderlined A.

Honestly, the honors class is ridiculously easy compared to the nonhonors class. Multiple choice exams are much harder than essay exams, for which he tells you what the questions are about.

Make sure you keep up with the readings; honors tests are 10 essay questions that span a large range of material and he likes answers to be very detailed. He tries hard to make the class interesting. Even though the tests are difficult, he is a great teacher.

This class is definitely not easy. He's a great teacher and explains things in the easiest way possible. He offers several review sessions to go over material and let students ask questions. He is willing to help if you are willing to work. Lab will require some effort, study for the quizzes and work hard on the papers. Overall, good teacher!

If you are looking for a fluff class, his classes are not the ones you want to take. If you put a great deal of effort into his class you will do ok. He is a good professor but if you have to take a bio course, I would not recommend 110 or 111 with him.

Dr. Kosinski is absolutely one of the best! He is very clear and wants his students to learn. The handbook is great because it covers exactly what you will be tested on with very little extra material. It is helpful to write down page numbers of pictures that he shows on the overhead and refer to them when studying. He is currently the only 110 professor.

This is not an easy class by any means, but Dr.K is a great teacher. Pay attention to his lectures cause he asks alot of picky and trickey questions on the test. He will help you as long as you put fowrth the effort.

Hilarious and a genious both in strange ways

KOSINSKI IS THE MAN! He is seriously genius, i just sit in class amazed at how much information he has crammed into his brain. He keeps class interesting... go to lecture, go to the study sessions. It really helps if you read the book BEFORE lecture.... otherwise its easy to get lost. The class is hard as crap, but rewarding.

SWEET

His tests are all multiple choice but they are anything but easy. Got to class and pay attention, but ou will also need to read in the book if you want to get an A.

Dr. K is great!! His class is hard but he is very smart and very very funny in a weird way. I would love to take every bio class Clemson.

Dr. K is awesome! He is so animated in lecture to make sure everyone understands what is going on. I loved the year I spent with him, for 110 and 111, and I will miss his teaching style!

GREAT teacher! really does a good job making class interesting. I would definitely recommend taking essay tests if you can because they are easier to study for. the class is not too hard, and i felt like i learned a lot!

Very engaging, wonderful instructor. However, tests are killer!

Dr. K is one of the smartest people i have ever met. It takes a while to warm up to his sense of humor, but he is pretty funny in a weird kind of way. Go to class and take notes or this class will beat you up. The textbook is not really necessary because he teaches out of the handout book and references the textbook only on overhead slides.

I never thought I would laugh out loud during a Biology lecture. The class is REALLY HARD but he makes it fun and interesting. He's so animated and hilarious... if you miss class, you more than likely have missed something funny that he did. You have to study a bunch though. He's a smart guy and wants his students to be smart too!

The greatest and possibly smartest teacher at Clemson University. I learned more from him in two months than four years of high school. If you are a Biology major, he needs to be your best friend. I STRONGLY recommend taking him for anything you can. His tests are incredibly hard and require a lot of study, but he gives many review sessions.

The nonhonors section is very difficult. However, a B should be manageable with a lot of study. The honors section is considerably easier due to the essay tests. Same material, just easier tests and therefore, better grades. If you are an honors student and can't get an A in this class, you should reconsider. Oh, BEST TEACHER EVER!!!

Dr. Kosinski was a great, fun, and energetic teacher. The material was difficult to memorize, but Dr. K is very helpful. He gives out a handbook with most of the important lecture notes, but I strongly suggest coming to class. Everyone usually makes an A in the honors section, but the nonhonors section can be tough.

Great teacher! The class is pretty hard, its a lot of material, but he makes it fun and really interesting. He's a great guy, very intriguing and hilarious! I highly recommend him.

He is the smartest, most hilarious man I've ever met. He really tries to radiate his love of biology to his students, and he really knows EVERYTHING about biology! He is also incredibly helpful and puts a lot of time and effort into helping his students do well.

Dr. K is the smartest man I have ever known. He is absolutely hilarious and has a great teaching style. He makes a wicked test, though, so you need to devote a lot of time to this class.

Dr. K is a great teacher. his lectures are really funny and he is so smart. i would definitely take his class again. the tests are kinda hard, but if you can get your hands on previous tests and do the multiple choice in your copy packet you will be alright. also, do well in lab. its not to hard so put in the effort and you can get at least a B

Dr. K is awesome!! he is hilarious and really knows his biology. he can also explain any biological process in ways that everyone can understand. attendance not mandatory, but a lot of his examples/demos he does in class show up on tests. a LOTTT of material, but it is possible to do well. I made an A in 110 and 111. Kosinski is the MANNN!!!

Everyone in the honors section received A's. It's a lot of work, but if you do it, you'll come out with an A. I believe most non-honors students got A's as well. More work than 110, but a lot easier.

Everyone in the non-honors did not get As only about 26% did actually. Dr. Bob is one of the greatest teachers at Clemson University and I wish that I could have him for every single class. It is imperative to study super hard for each exam though. He his hilarious and really really really knows his stuff. If you ask him any question he will more t

He is a pretty good professor but the grading just made me mad. In his class, an 84 was an a. I had 83.8 and he did not round up. I missed dean's list by basically two tenths of apoint bc of this class. fml.

Interesting teaching style

It's like having Bill Nye the Science Guy teach your class.

Great professor knows what he is talking about. There is a bunch of material that he wants you to know but he is completely clear on what he expects from you. His grading is 85-100 is an A so that tells you its gonna be difficult but what intro Biology course isnt. Great professor though always willing to help you

Kosinski is the man. Though he teaches a challenging class, he is very informative and provides an interesting lecture. Description of laugh used is dead on below

this is one of the hardest classes i've ever taken and i was always an A student. i work extremely hard and have a B. if you want to go on to med school and the really high levels of science i would take this class. otherwise just take 103. i enjoy it though, he's a good teacher, slightly intimidating, but knows exactly what he's talking about.

Dr. K is by far my best professor I've had this semester! He's always energized and excited about what he's teaching which makes the class very enjoyable. It's a tough class, but if you take notes on his lecture and briefly skim the book, you'll do well. Plus, it helps that he makes a handout book which most of his lectures and tests are based on.

If you are one of those ppl just looking for an easy A and dont care about learning, not for you. He doesnt have SI leaders, he teaches the SI himself, and if you go to those, you will be prepared for the test more. this class requires work, but he you learn so much and he is a really great teacher. He is one of my favorite professors. TAKE HIM.

As you can see by his picture, Dr. Kosinski is a pretty awesome guy. He's extremely funny but in the nerdy college professor kind of way. He does a lot of funny demonstrations and other things so you can remember stuff and it's obvious he wants his students to do well. Tests are EXTREMELY hard but Dr. Kosinski helps you a lot and is very cool.

Dr. K is truly the man great guy as a person. Very intelligent and makes you feel stupid cause he is so smart. AVOID class if you value your GPA. Class is extremely hard and you will fail at least two of the test. Do not take if you can put in the time for the class.

Dr. K is an amazing teacher. He is extremely knowledgeable and knows how to teach biology. I am in the honors section and it is definitely worth taking BIO H 110 with Dr. K if you can. He gives you the exam breakdown before the test to guide your studying and overall gives pretty predictable questions.

He is really hard, but a really good teacher. He just is really smart and doesn't dumb down what he says occassionally.

Dr. Kosinski is a very smart man who really seems to care about his students. That said, his class can be very difficult. I would recommend taking the honors section if you can. It will make your life much easier and the chance of getting an A goes way up in the honors classes because the tests are essays rather than MC.

Dr. Kosinski is a really great guy and an amazing teacher! His class is hard though, but if you go to all of the review sessions, do the study guide and multiple choice practice questions, and go to every class, it's not extremely hard. I studied a lot and made an A, so it can be done. He knows EVERYTHING about biology and is really funny.

he's interesting and excited about the material but definitely in love with biology.

Bio110 was harder than 111, but you learn so much in both classes. He's a great teacher and holds review sessions weekly to help you out. Some say he's weird and that's definitely true but he's funny and it makes class more interesting. Smartest guy I've ever met.

Kosinski is a helpful and knowledgeable professor. My first semester in 110, I struggled to make a B. The second semester in 111, I changed my study strategy and did ALL of his review questions & made an A. Just do the review questions and pay attention. He's very funny, thorough and willing to help, just ask. Kosinski is a stellar biology teacher.

Studying for his final as we speak for his 111 course. Took his 110 and highly recommend it for Bio majors. He is a great teacher, but he wont make anything easy on you. The best part though is that there is no wiggle room with his grading but once you make an A you know you truly earned it

Kosinski is the man. He knows more about biology than I ever hope to know about anything. He is extremely helpful if you take the time and show a genuine interest. He teaches a major specific course, so you SHOULD have a genuine interest. If you study alot and go to lecture, you will have and A or B. You just have to think on his level.

Dr. Kosinski is awesome. He really knows his stuff and I learned more in his class than I have in any other biology class I have ever had. You really have to study hard for his exams, they are really tough, but if you do well you know you have earned the grade. The class is really interesting and all biology majors should definitely take his class.

AMAZING teacher!! I found this class to be pretty easy and only had to study the night before. Definitely take honors if possible! He is a great guy who will go out of his way to help you. Plus you got to love his nerdy/hilarious examples :)

Greatest professor ever. He knows just about everything about biology and will make sure that by the end of the course you do too. I would recommend doing all the questions in the back of the study guide and going to the review sessions as this made the class much much easier.

He is just as hard as everyone here says, but he makes sure you get the grade you deserve. Non honors class takes a 70-80 question multiple choice test every 3 weeks in 75 minutes and the questions are generally tricky, not easy to guess your way through at all. Read the book and study hard. You can get away with skipping class if you read lots.

O love Dr. Kosinski! He is funny and will keep your attention in class with different demonstrations. In order to do well in his class you have to go to lecture and review sessions. The tests are multiple choice and really long and you have you really know the material because the questions can get tricky.

As people have said before his class is difficult but if you show up to class and spend an hour doing the study guide questions the night before the test :)you will be fine. Make sure to show up to class because the examples he uses in class are on the test. Overall a very good professor and a great class

His class/tests are difficult, but it's definitely possible to get a good grade if you put forth the effort. He definitely knows his biology, and he offers review sessions and has a handout book to go along with lecture. Just know that you do have to put in some work for a good grade.

Great teacher if you follow the work and the class content, try not to skip class and you should be fine.

HILARIOUS! He keeps your attention through the lecture; however, his tests are SUPER hard. You have to be willing to put in hours upon hours of studying to do well in his class. He is very intelligent and can definitely answer any questions that you may have.

I loved Dr. Kosinski's teaching style. He is incredibly clear when he talks. However, the course is incredibly difficult! If you want to take this course set aside about 4 hours a week to studying the material and even more when it comes to exams. An 85 is an A in this course because of difficulty-- I made a 92. So it's possible to do well!

Dr. Kosinski is a GREAT teacher & he makes learning about biology entertaining w his silly metaphors in class (which he does test on). However, he expects a lot and his tests are difficult and specific. You will do well if you do the study questions/review sessions. This is definitely not for the weak at heart, but you learn a lot.

Great professor, you'll learn a ton, but exams are super specific. Requires a lot of work. I barely got out with an A.

Kosinski is a great professor! His tests are definitely tough, but his lectures (while not the most interesting) definitely cover everything you need to know in a clear manner and stress what will be on the test. Attend the review sessions!!!! Very important. If you put the time into this class, you will do fine.

Great teacher. Very hard class. The test are tough and the material is very in-depth, but it is a good class. Kosinski is very funny and knows what he is doing. The labs are boring, but they are useful. There are a few hard lab reports, but the TA's help a lot. If you do the study guides, read the textbook, and go to class you will do great.

One of the best teachers I have ever had, really knows his stuff. Tests are ridiculously hard but if you go to the review sessions and make a serious attempt to answer the questions in the handout book before attending, it will help tremendously. Difficult class, but I would not have rather had anyone else teach it than Kosinski.

kosinski is by far my favorite teacher at clemson! he is super engaged when teaching, and always has helpful and humorous analogies to go along with the lesson. plus he's super dorky and cute!

Very smart man. He comes off super unapproachable but if you email him questions he will go out of his way to help you. Class requires tons of effort- do not think you can get away with high school knowledge of the material. Overall great teacher for a very hard course.

The class is extremely hard. Know that ahead of time. Kosinski covers material very quickly and requires you to remember small details. With that being said, he tries his best to at least provide some humor in the class. In his lecture notebook he did reference the unthinkable mating of a clemson and USC student so thumbs up for that.

He is a very intellegent man who happens to teach a very hard, "weeder" course. If you take the chance to ask him questions, he will go out of his way to explain them to you. Have to be prepared that this course is not one you can sleep through. Pay attention, and study ahead of time and you'll be fine. Really enjoyed him as a professor!

This class is not nearly as hard as everyone is making it sound. Just attend every lecture, do the readings, study, and you will make an A. Kosinski is awesome and wants you to do well.

Kosinski is a really good teacher. He's really clear in what you need to know and uses as many examples/demonstrations as possible, albeit some really cheesy ones, to help you understand. Exams are medium difficulty and are all essay questions (usually 6). Study his handout book, and you'll be fine. He takes a long time to grade the exams.

Dr. Kosinski is not easy by any means, but he's a great teacher. He does so much outside work to help students and he genuinely knows what he's talking about and is extremely smart and will help you if you approach him. GO TO REVIEW SESSIONS. Attendance isn't mandatory, but missing one class will put you far behind. An A in this class isn't likely

I love this guy! You won't truly learn to appreciate him until you're a junior or a senior and have been through your share of unhelpful professors. I'm about to be a senior, and I still think Dr. Kosinki is the best professor I've had at Clemson. I really wish he taught upperclassmen courses :/

This class definitely requires you to spend a lot of time reading and studying. Kosinski has two review sessions a week and is extremely willing to help students in any way he can. I truly enjoyed this class, but you will have to work pretty hard to get an A.

He is seriously the best teacher you will have at Clemson. He's such a nerd, but he makes the funniest jokes and seriously knows everything about biology. I LOVE HIM!

He's a cool guy, kind of rude when one on one, but he's hilarious in his own quirky, nerdy, way. I'll miss him. Must be willing to work, read, and study a LOT for this class.

Dr. K is a really nice man, and presents the information in a way that makes it interesting and easy to learn. You have to be willing to put forth the effort, but an A is definitely possible! As a second semester sophomore, I can say that the things we learned in his class were super helpful for later classes like vert, plant, genetics, evolution.

Dr. Kosinski is the BEST professor I have ever had. He gives hard tests and expects you to put work into the class but he is more than willing to help you if you don't understand something. Go to his reviews and don't be scared to ask questions. He is very sarcastic and funny. I enjoyed being in his class. I would take it again.

Dr. K is awesome. I found that his lectures were clear and he always gave good analogies. There is a lecture guide that you follow during class but make sure to write down stuff he says because it may come up on an exam. You don't need the text book. If you can find old exams they are exactly the same. Take the honors section for sure!

Great professor but it is a hard class. Come to class and go to the review sessions you will get an A. Don't study or read the book you will fail. He makes biology a fun major.

Bob is the man! This class requires effort and work-lots of it. An A is certainly possible, but you'll have to work for it. The class is interesting and Kosinski is amazing. He is quite quirky, and is basically the cutest old man ever. He is beyond knowledgable. Offers review sessions every week that are VERY helpful-dont miss 'em! Great professor.

Great teacher! Going to his sessions that he has each week are extremely helpful! He'll answer any of your questions very thoroughly and they are just like the questions on the exam. The practice tests help a ton.

This dude is the knees of the bees. Seriously awesome dude. Absolutely love him. He's hilarious and helpful in class and he does review sessions. Although biology isn't easy if you apply yourself you'll at least get a B.

Dr. Kosinski is amazing! The class is hard, but if you put in a lot of effort to study at least a B is possible. He always tries to make the class fun and he is always cracking jokes!

Dr. Kosinski is an amazing professor. He has been teaching this class forever and really knows his stuff. This class is difficult but it is possible to get an A. He is a crystal clear lecturer and has hundreds of funny ways for you to remember facts. Take this class and definitely take the honors section if it is available to you!

Fantastic Professor! You can tell that biology is absolutely his passion. He constantly drops in very cheesy jokes related to the information and tries to make the class fun even when we delve deep into hardcore biology. My favorite professor by leaps and bounds.

Kosinski is one of the best teachers I have ever had. I entered Clemson a bio major but not sure about what I really wanted to study for the next 4 years. After taking his course I am convinced to stay in science, bio in particular. He's a clear teacher and gives you an amazing basis for biology that I never got even taking AP Bio in highschool.

Dr. Kosinski is the man you want for Bio 1100 - he is very skilled at teaching the material. Absolutely take the honors section if you can.

Dr. Kosinski is a great professor with entertaining and interesting lectures. His exams are really hard though, especially if you didn't take AP biology in high school. Expect to study a ton for his exams!

Dr. Kosinski is a great professor, he teaches well and uses great examples. He's somewhat rude one on one, but overall I definitely recommend his class if you have to take BIOL 1100. Lab is pretty easy, I had a great TA. Expect to study a lot for exams, and definitely take the honors section if you can!

Amazing! He is thorough and very detailed, but he is by far the best professor I've had in my years at clemson!

110 + 110 are really hard intro/weedout bio classes that introduce a lot of material, and the exams are going to be really tough. That being said, Kosinski is fantastic at teaching them, and is very clear about his expectations. As a junior that took the class as a fresh, I havent had a comparable lecturer yet. He made me sure I wanted to be Biosci

He is a wonderful man and a joy to have as a professor... he is difficult but study and do the questions attend the review sessions and you should get an A

Such a great professor! Go to class and answer the review questions he gives you in your handout book. If you know those you will do very well! He is a little odd/rude one on one but he will answer or help you in the end. Go to the review sessions! So far the best professor I have had at Clemson. Best advice I was given was to take him!

Dr. K is a great teacher and knows his stuff. Don't take this class unless you are ready to work your tail off! The material is very challenging, but he does a good job of presenting it. He is very rude in person, and can be a little mean, but he is still a very effective teacher.

Bob is the best biology teacher in existence. He's extremely intelligent and he's funny too. Now his BIO 110 class definitely was a struggle and it weeded out people who weren't made for it. However study the material and actually study and you should do fine. Like I said BIO 110 is the class that weeds people out but BIO 111 gets a lot easier.

He is the best professor I have ever had. He uses funny stories to help you remember the information. This class gives people a wake up call that this is the hardness that biology requires. I learned a lot and would take it over again if I could. Definitely do the questions from each chapter in the handout and understand them. GO TO LECTURE!!!!!!!

Dr. Kosinski is by FAR the best professor I have EVER had. He is clear and knows his stuff. Considering he wrote the lab manual and his own lecture book, I'd say thats enough evidence he's an expert in bio. Get ready to work your butt off for a good grade, but it just goes to show how hard bio really is. His analogies are awesome! Awk one on one

Kosinski is everyones favorite professor. His honors class is a lot easier than his non-honors class, and he likes honors students a lot more. His lectures are interesting, funny and clear. The honors section gets to have interesting presentation by people in biology related fields. Love him and am taking him again next semester!

Dr. Kosinski is the best professor I've ever had. He is a hilarious, engaging teacher who gives great metaphors and analogies to help you understand the material. Biology 1100 is a heavy course, but his lecture handout book teaches directly to the test and he aligns his lectures with lab material. The tests are unnecessarily difficult. Study hard!

Dr. Kosinski is a wonderful professor! He is very passionate about biology and our success. He does a lot to help the students, including 2 review sessions per week. He is lab coordinator, so lab material is on every test. There are 5 tests, including the final (which isn't cumulative). Reading the textbook is a must! I am taking from him again!

I took Dr. Kosinski's honors classes (both BIOL 1100 and 1110) as a Bioengineering major. Dr. Kosinski is very knowledgeable, quirky, and kinda fun. His class is not easy, but it is not impossible. He makes you learn the material, but also remember that an A for him is 85-100. Dr. K is very fair and helpful and challenges you to be your best.

Kosinski is probably the best professors I've ever had - the class is really interesting, and he makes it fun and memorable. The tests are difficult, and studying to get an okay grade takes a week or more of solid work every day, but to get a good grade, you need to work every single day with the lecture handout and the textbook.

Dr. Kosinski is a great example of a wonderful teacher, especially college professor. The course is hard, it's not just him. He knows what he's talking about and you can tell he's really into it. He's one of the best professors I've had at Clemson even though this was my hardest course so far at Clemson. I recommend him if you want to learn.

Dr. Kosinski is a wonderful teacher. He knows his stuff. His tests are challenging, so I'd recommend studying at least a week in advance. However, his lectures are very in depth and by the end of the semester you'll feel more confident in everything biology. Lab is perhaps the most time consuming part of the course bc of the quizzes and papers.

Dr. Kosinski was a fantastic teacher. He taught the material extremely well and always made his lectures interesting. I wish I could have him for the rest of college biology. Unfortunately, the class is super hard so prepare to study for hours. Go to all of the review sessions and go to class (though he does not take attendance).

Took him for both semesters of biology. Definitely take Honors if at all possible. He is a fair grader when it comes to the Honors essays, but his non-honors multiple choice is relentless. May seem like he is talking down to you one on one, but he makes the content of the tests very clear and understandable in lectures.

Dr. K is a very interesting man. This class is certainly not an easy GPA booster, but if you are a bio major OR have to take upper level bio, Dr. K will prepare you. Attendance is not taken, but don't miss a single lecture. The man covers in an hour what most professors would cover in three. VERY dry sense of humor that you will grow to love.

Dr. Kosinksi was my wake up call for being a BioSci major at Clemson. I thought I knew my bio, but his class really turned that thought around for me. He was easily the hardest class I took during my freshman year. So get ready. You really do learn so much from him if you actually study and learn from his class so it's worth it.

The material is very clear cut as it is taught out of a notebook he prepares and he teaches it well and tries to make it interesting. Gives you plenty of preparation for exams with weekly review sessions and study questions in the notebook. Final not cumulative.

Kosinski is great. He prepares a notebook that has all of his lecture outlines and study guide questions after each section he teaches. His tests are slightly difficult and he always tests on lab material. Overall he's an awesome professor and he makes his lectures interesting and easy to listen to. Would definitely recommend.

Kosinski was an awesome teacher! The amount of material you learn in that class is very helpful; he gives you an awesome foundation in the field of biology. He gives a notebook which follows along with the class lectures. Do the practice tests and questions inside before each test! The tests are very similar to those! An A for this class is 85-100

Took him for the honors section. He gives his non honors class multiple choice tests, which I've heard can be tricky as he phrases questions in ways that can be confusing. The honors class has essay questions. So, you need to know the material well enough to write good essays about it, but the questions are straightforward, unlike the non honors.

He's definitely a great teacher! He loves Biology, but his test are really hard. You can't just KNOW the definitions, you need to KNOW the concepts. Also, literally study days before the exam--ALSO, do well in lab, because that can REALLY help your grade. He's an awesome teacher though, just gotta know your stuff.

Best professor for Bio 1100. Really gives you a great foundation for biology. Multiple choice tests are very difficult, but lab can bring your grade up a lot. Does review sessions every week, which helps a lot. Gives out a lecture book that you can follow and studying that will help you on the tests. Getting an A is possible, but very difficult.

Dr. Kosinski is absolutely precious. He makes you buy a handout book that basically has all of your notes for the year. I would definitely recommend him for honors. An A is an 85 in his class. Each test consists of 7 half-page essay questions. Make sure to utilize test banks as he uses similar questions every year. Study hard for the tests.

Dr. Kosinski was by far my favorite professor this semester. Take him for honors if you can because the tests are much easier (essays instead of multiple choice). He is so passionate about biology and makes you want to learn more. Don't study the night before the test, because they cover so much material. Study using old tests, he reuses questions.

His tests are super hard and you don't have a lot of time to do them (80 difficult multiple choice in an hour and a half). You have to come to class even though he doesn't take attendance because he refers to different examples in class on the tests a lot. Great teacher, just super difficult exams.

He's a great professor and really knows what he's talking about. Your grade is based off of 5 tests, including a noncumulative final and your lab grade. The tests are difficult and the questions can be really tricky, but an 85 is an A so that makes up for the difficulty of the tests. Also lab can really bring up your grade.

It's a very heavy memorization course, but Dr. Kosinski makes it interesting in his lectures. The handout book is also extremely useful. I didn't read a full chapter in the textbook ever, and there are plenty of times to ask him questions with his review sessions that he regularly has once or twice a week.

Kosinski is a great professor especially for biology/life science majors. His non honors section is insanely more difficult compared to the honors section, so if you can take honors, I would definitely recommend that. His lectures are pretty entertaining too, and he's a great guy overall.

Dr. Kosinski is one of the best professors that I have ever had; however, I did not like him at all for most of first semester due to how hard his tests. Definitely difficult, but manageable. He is a great teacher. His lectures are interesting and engaging and he expects you to know the material inside and out for his tests. Just work hard!

Dr. Kosinski is a great bio professor. His non-honors tests are hard, so definitely study in advance. Lab definitely helps, so make sure you really try on the prelab quizzes. If you don't do well on your first test, make a study change early. Great teacher overall!

Dr. Kosinski is da man. He's so funny and amazing. I respect him so much. His class is so hard though. Right now I have an A in the class, but I always study for the exams three weeks in advance. If you aren't willing to spend countless hours studying, don't take him because you won't do well. His class is super hard, but it's not impossible.

Dr. Kosinski is a very good professor in my opinion but you really need to study or you won't pass his class. His lectures can be very interesting but pay attention to his examples because he put those in his exams.

Dr. Kosinski is one of the best professors I have ever had. I took the honors section of biology 1100 and really enjoyed it. He brought in guest lecturers to talk about their careers. His tests were easy to do well on, and his lectures were great. He's very funny and you can learn a lot in his class.

This was the best class I have taken so far. His tests are very difficult, but they taught me test taking skills, which have helped me so much with other classes. He is a very interesting professor and loves what he teaches. My best advice is to study after each lecture for this class. You will not be able to get an A by studying a few days before.

Dr. Kosinski is obviously a brilliant man - he REALLY knows his stuff. His lectures are fast-paced and detail-oriented but GO because he often asks test questions about examples he gave in class. He is a great teacher, but this class IS TOUGH! (only 13% As) If you like bio and want to actually learn, take him over D.R., and ATTEND REVIEW SESSIONS!

Dr. Kosinski is hands down one of the best teachers/professors I've had. His class is very hard, but I've never learned and retained this much information from any other class. You can tell he is very passionate about biology and about educating his students. His tests are based on his lectures and labs.

I was warned about this class and how difficult it is, but I decided to take it anyway and I'm really glad I did. Dr. Kosinski is one of the toughest professors Clemson has and this course is really, really tough. You have to actively work hard and study about a week before the exam. That being said, I've never learned so much useful information.

Kosinski is an awesome teacher! He knows his biology and his enthusiasm for it can be seen in lecture. His class is not easy, though, his tests are very difficult and cover everything and anything in his book and material covered in lecture. He is very accessible outside of class with weekly review sessions that are very helpful!

Kosinski is honestly one of my favorite teachers ever! His exams are very difficult, but his class is a MUST if youre actually wanting to learn Biology. The average test grades are in the 60s and 70s, but and 85 is an A, 75 is a B, etc. This is from a guy that barely got a C in his 1100 class and then got an A in his 1110 class. Take his class

Kosinski was the best general bio teacher this university has had or ever will have.
