Really nice (and cute) guy. Lots of fun and a good teacher. Animal crackers in lab is awesome!

so nice, if you don't understand the material he will do anything he can to help you understand the material!

tony is cool as fizzuck

He rocks, he is really cool and helpful!! Best bio teacher at YCP!!

Really easy prof, plus you learn some stuff.

Super cool guy and very helpful... labs are fun and interesting... it's a very broad class so no one topic gets too boring, and he has a way to make everyone in class feel smart!

dude, tony is f'in cool as shiat, if you have to take lab, take it with this man...dont make fun of him cause he dresses like a sissy most of the time either mofo's

GReat teacher! Tests are not super easy, but you will do well if you go to class and study your notes. Exams right from notes.

Definitely take this class! I'm not great at science, but he makes it fun and easy. Definitely a good professor to take.

Very nice and helpful, but be aware that he is a tough grader. Don't be surprised if you get a C for the very hard work on the lab report that you wrote (this is a major grade). He's a great lab instructor though, always willing to help!

Tony is a nice guy, but very hard grader..I got an A on final and still got a C..what the heck !! Test are hard, study hard for them. Overall, a fun class, but hard grader.

tony is so cool. he explains everything about the lab at the beginning of class. be sure to write everything down b/c you'll see it again on a lab practical. he's easy-going but a hard grader. he tries to help you in any way possible.

Very nice person. Goes through all labs very well. He is extremely helpful and thorough with ALL labs. Easy A, if you pay attention in lab. cute too:)

Great Lab instructor. Really into BIO and it shows through his knowledge and lecture. Just show up, do the labs sheets/paper, study for the practicles and you'll do fine. Not a instructor for someone looking for an easy "A." Fair Grader, FAI

oh tony, what is there to say about tony? well, he's a tough grader but really helps you out. totally into that bacteria thing. oh compliment him on his hair, he loves that. the paper is tough but you can do it over!

Great Guy. He is a hard grader so DO YOU PAPER CORRECTLY THE FIRST TIME AND HAND IN ALL LAB QUESTION SHEETS ONTIME!!!!! He really gets into the Bio stuff so he'll always be willing to help ya out. Just do what is expected and you'll do fine.

Tony is awesome. Second time I had him and I would take him again. Keeps class interesting, yet challenging. Great bonus questions on tests and entertaining slips of flamboyancy that will make you crack up. I'll never forget when he said he wished bio bags would burn rainbow instead of dark orange.

Botyrius is one of the most kind, passionate professors I have ever had. Truly cares for students and the field of biology. Almost changed my major to Bio because of him. Only complaint - I can't pronounce his last name!

he is a really nice guy, really flexible and fun to work with. he gets kinda anal about details, but overall he isn't too difficult to get along with. uses the lecture topics effectively in lab.

super duper nice guy, funny, and put up with the **** from the dweebs in my class. i had a lot of trouble in the middle of the semester and he didn't really help me out when i went to him. still a nice guy. lectures kinda stunk though... but it's bio.

I can't believe that I enjoyed this class. Tony Botyrius is awesome. The tests can be tough. The labs were fun.

I would take him again, if I could. He always stopped and helped us if we didnt understand and explained things very thoroughly. Tests are kinda hard, but if you study then you'll do fine. He tried to make labs enjoyable - even though some of the labs just aren't fun. I recommend him to anyone!

tony is a really nice person and a good prof. i really understood things from his lectures and he explains things well in lab. he isnt hard to follow at all. i would take another prof because he grades insanely hard no matter how much work you put into assignments. he loves details but complains when there are too many! the class avg is a C-

Great teacher, he is very smart & teaches well.I would take him again for any classes.His test questions are tricky & u must study.He is very helpful on the day of the test.Labs never last the whole amount of time,but he makes them fun.He is a funny man!U have 4 test,group pres. & take-home final.U will work for your grade,but he teaches well!!!!

this class was actually a lot of fun. the atmosphere was laid back, so it wasn't as intimidating as the class sounded. he was always willing to clarify any instructions or notes. hopefully, tony will be able to teach another section in the future.

Excellent at teaching, but his grading is insane. I don't believe an A is something you can obtain with him! I put more effort into his class then my other classes and he gave me the lowest grade out of all of them. If you want an A, find another professor!

Tony is interested in the subject and provides very clear explainations throughout the lab to help with understanding! Keeps the class fun and moving along. Practicals are hard unless you group study! Do well on the abstract and worksheets! Good Professor who cares if students learn.

awesome teacher! very clear... explains everything really well! defintely take him.

A very nice, encouraging professor. I almost switched my major to Biology after his course. Explains things well, is fun loving in class and allows students to really show off their knowledge on exams. Just great!

I had him for lab and he was fun and easy going. Takes a while to explain things but he is just being thorough. I'd def take him again. Take Boehmler for class**

Makes lab a blast! Not the easiest course....he doesn't curve much at all...but he does challenge you.

talks forever, you will never/rarely leave early

Definitely not the easiest teacher you will have at York but is willing to help! Makes labs a great time. I really enjoy his lab. If you are willing to put in the effort I highly recommend him.

Professor Botyrius is the reason that I switched my major to biology. He teaches his classes with unbelieveable passion that keeps your attention throughout the class. He isn't easy though. You will have to study because he won't lower his expectations. It's worth it though. I'd definitely recommend him to anyone!

such a nice guy, really helpful and passionate about Biology. He's also really funny in a weird way. He's willing to help anyone and will always explain things further if someone does not understand. Lectures the entire time. Tests are tricky, you have to apply the material to the questions. He takes questions from the book and computerprogram

Botyrius was a great bio professor! I had difficulties following him at first, but if you take notes, attend class, and study you will do fine! He is a little odd, but in a fun way that I found enjoyable! His labs were great too!

Prof botyrius is a great asset to tgr york college bio department. I can say i learned and retained so much in his course. He is very passionate and cares about his students progression. His tests are designed to apply your knowledge to unorthodox scenarious. Awesome professor!

The professor was full of energy. He was entertaining and made class fun. If you participated in class then it was a lot better then if you just sat and did nothing because he would work with you more.

I think he does drugs. Seriously. But other than that hes good. Tests are hard... very hard. You must know concepts and apply them.

For lab, his grading was tough. Every thing had to be exactly as he wanted. Takes forever to grade the labs. He would just leave in the middle of lab and not come back for awhile. Overall he seemed to be one of the better lab instructors. Get ready for your lab grade to bring your lecture grade down!

Proftonyb is a great teacher and his enthusiasm makes the class enjoyable. If you're not doing too hot he's the first person you should talk to. To do well in his Bio 150 lecture you need to read the textbook and always take notes in class. He LITERALLY gives you test questions in class and on his guides so you need to pay attention. Best bio prof

He is a giant goofball, is not ashamed to wear the same shirt 2 days in a row, and will not fail to make lecture interesting. 'Proftonyb' has a clear grading criteria and assigns little no homework. You do need to somewhat study for tests and quizzes, but if you attend class, you should be fine.

Prof Tony B is a great guy, he's pretty funny, I had him for the Gene/Molecule/Cell course, all the labs are pretty cool. Weekly worksheets after each lab. He talks nonstop in lecture, rarely uses his slides. His study guides do help, but some of the problems don't seem relevant. If you're stuck ASK FOR HELP!! He will help you out don't get behind!

I would love to take this course again. Lectures were always engaging. Botyrius is a cool guy and has a nice speaking voice which makes it easy to pay attention. Loved this class. So easy. Just relearned simple biology. Explanations are great and he is always willing to review things with you.

I had him for lab. He takes off points for simple things but he can explain things well in lab. Relies heavily on his lab assistants so he will leave the lab for 20-30 minutes. He is a pretty cool guy to get along with

Professor Botyrius is a great professor and really loves what he teaches. He is really clear and super funny. As long as you pay attention and have a basic understanding of the concepts of biology you can get a good grade.

Had him for a 1 night a week Bio class. The time was awful but he was funny and interesting enough that he made the time manageable. He is very knowledgeable and really hilarious with joking. If you show up to class and pay attention, it is easy to pass. He explains everything in great detail and really knows what he is talking about.

Extremely helpful if you're struggling during the semester. Very nice and genuine guy too. He's very passionate about the field of biology.

I loved Prof. Botyrius. He is great at explaining things and very easy to connect to. He is so funny. My only complaint is that he is usually a few minutes late for class but overall a solid choice for Biology!

Professor Botyrius has really interesting lectures and he explains the material really well. He is a fair grader on exams, and as long as you study and do the homework you should pass the class with no problems.

I took him for lab. Very good at explaining each lab and is super organized. He will help u if u need it. You need to attend the labs to get a good grade. Worksheets every week but not too hard. Two practicals and they are hard u need to study. Funny and genuine person tho.

Excellent at explaining lab techniques and is genuinely interested in the lab work. Lectures can be detail-heavy, but he always prints out the slides for students to annotate. Allows you to skip some questions on tests.

Goes at a very nice pace compared to the other teachers speeding through the material. Explains content in-depth and accessible outside of class. Very nice guy, you can tell he likes his job.

His labs are always fun and do not take up the full 3 hours. there are pre lab lectures that he puts up but they really are not needed because he goes over the lab before you actually do it. the post lab worksheets are hard and he is very specific about the answers you give. overall he is pretty cool

Does very long lectures but each lecture had a lot of information. Was very helpful in class and also in lab. He can be funny and serious at times but mostly is a very nice professor. He does give a lot of work and is a tough grader but as long as you study you will pass. I really recommend taking his class.

I personally really enjoyed his teaching style. The slides with just pictures made it easier for me to understand because he'd be writing on the board at the same time he was talking so he wasn't blowing through slides making it a lot easier to follow along. I recommend him especially if you're a visual learner.

Professor Botyrius is amazing. His teaching style in lecture and lab is phenomenal, particularly for students who like in depth explanations. He is very clear, not confusing, and thorough. Lecture is a must or you will not pass the course, literally just put in effort, take notes, and study and you will do fine.
