his tests are really difficult, but he loves what he teaches! he is willing to help you and give you pointers on how to study for his tests. do not expect to have an easy grade, over half of the class will drop, but he makes it interesting.

I really liked his class, but you have to put a lot of effort into it to get an A. He's really enthusiastic about Biology and he's funny in that awkward way; he can keep your attention. If you take the class, plan to put a lot of outside time into studying.

It was cool to see a biology teacher teach HNRS. He's just a pretty cool dude. He cares about students and loves to hear everyone's opinions. He doesn't judge. Graded papers fairly. Class was semi-mandatory (I emailed him when and why I wouldn't be in class). People who attended class got A's. He studies HIV, learned a lot about it. Ok/good class.

Licata is a really awesome guy and knows a lot about biology, but his tests are killers. The only reason I'm passing the class is because he curves. You have to read the text book because all the test questions are super specific and the only other grades he inputs are clicker questions and quizzes. Tough class

Any Biology 1201 class is going to be somewhat difficult. Dr. Licata's class certainly is difficult, but he's a very nice person who will give pretty good lectures. Study hard for the tests.

His lectures are mostly pictures so make sure you take notes. He only touches base on the material, so I strongly recommend reading the chapter. Also, understand the material, don't just memorizing the definitions. His tests are extremely hard, but there is usually a large curve. Going over the Mastering Biology before each test helps a lot.

Dr. Licata is a great professor he's very friendly and funny! The class is just a difficult course! A lot of information at once! STAY ON TOP of reading the chapters! Try to read before class and he will answer any questions you have throughout the lecture! Do homework and go to class for clicker questions to help boost your grade!

LiCata is great, but he can be considered tough. He is very blunt and to the point, but for your own good. He is very intelligent and does a great job "dumbing" it down and making it easier for the class to understand. He's tough but he helped me understand biology better than any other teacher at LSU. He's sorta like the sensei in Karate Kid.

Dr. Licata was a great professor! He's really nice and intelligent, and his lectures are pretty interesting. However, the tests were difficult and they're the largest part of your grade. I did really well in the class despite not having a strong base in bio, but I really had to work. I suggest doing the Dynamic Study modules on MasteringBio.

His lectures were really interesting, and his outside hours were helpful. His tests were HARD but i learned that studying the mastering bio quizzes/practice regularly outside of class made the tests super easy. His test curves were always about 10 percent, which helped a lot. Take notes, study the mastering bio and youl probably do okay, cant cram4

This was by far my favorite bio teacher for one reason - his curves!! They ranged from 6-18% depending on the difficulty of the test. I never showed up to class except for the clicker bonus. I taught myself the material by reading the textbook and average an A on his test (before the curve). Take this class if you can teach yourself and you get bio

Dr. LiCata is a great professor and gives you many resources in order to study for the test! Although his test can be tricky, if you simply use his voice recordings and read the chapters thoroughly you will make a good grade. Overall, hes an awesome person and gave me no trouble with getting the grade I desired.

Dr. LiCata ia a really nice guy, but his tests are REALLY hard. I attended almost every single lecture, read every single chapter in the book and did every single study module associated with each chapter. He only curved 4-6 points unlike his large curves in the past. In the end, I had to beg for some points. He was nice enough to give them to me.

He's a great teacher. Very thorough, but if you don't understand he is very willing to meet with students. Despite having large classes he tries to get to know his students and that'll only help you in this class. Genuinely one of the nicest Biology professors at this university. Trust me in this I've dropped this class twice before taking him.

Starting out the semester this was my toughest class as you must attend all the lectures and read the chapters in the text book while at home. However, Dr. LiCata is willing to help outside of class with review sessions and makes the class a lot less stressful. Tests are difficult but if you read the chapters and attend class you will be fine.

Vincent LiCata is a great professor;however, you need to work for your grade. His lectures are fantastic and break the info into an easier way to understand. For the test, you need to extra studying beyond the lecture notes. Look at flash cards, read the textbook and learning catalitic questions.

Good choice for bio 1201. Textbook optional, but helpful. He gives engaging lectures. Exams are in the testing center, and the class schedule that week does not change because of said exam. Sometimes he contradicts himself, so go to the text for occasional fact-checking. Exams are 90%+ from lecture. Go to class for Learning Catalytics points.

I really enjoyed Dr. LiCatas class! He gives great feedback on papers and tests, and he would always curve them if he thought he graded too harshly (there was also a curve at the end of the semester). He was always available outside of class, and hes willing to help go over a paper or something before the deadline. Awesome class, great teacher!

I took biology 2 in high school, and what I learned in high school is exactly what i learned in this class. Mastering Biology was a great resource to help me study, and he used a lot of those questions for his test. You have to study for his test, but if you do, then you will do okay. He is a very nice guy. The SI sessions helped a lot as well.

This class is tough regardless of the professor you have. LiCata is kind, helpful and available outside of class and will go over your test so you know what you missed. Each test was curved about 12 points and he almost always threw out questions after that. Study, read the textbook, pay attention and you will do well in his class.

I really enjoyed Dr. Licata's class. The key to success is to read the textbook. He records his lectures and posts them to moodle, so relisten to them many times and take detailed notes. He does learning catalytics, so that's main reason you have to go to class, but you can also do it on your phone at home. He curves the tests and final a lot.

Professor Licata is hilarious. He compares a lot of scientific processes to vodka and donuts. You need the online textbook to complete the homework, but the homework isn't graded based on accuracy. Attendance is mandatory because he gives clicker quizzes. His test are mostly lecture-based.

He's great. 4 tests including noncumulative final but they arent bad because he gives you problem sets when you start a new topic that will be very similar to the tests. He is a bit tricky in office hours and usually believed I knew more than I did, but he's nice and wants you to do well. Don't miss problem set day bc you'll be lost and lose points

Really enjoyed this class, all of his questions were related to his lab work which was so cool to me, he made the class really interesting and hes super chill, never mad, throws some jokes in throughout the class, fun class overall, and one of my favorite teachers!

He knows whats hes talking about. His tests are 50 questions long (6 extra questions for bonus56 total) he posts outlines and PowerPoints of each chapter and records each lecture and posts them on moodle. He really wants us to pass. Says this class is weed out class though. Actively do the quizzes. Some reappear on the tests.

Really great professor would recommend if you are a science major. very detailed oriented with his lectures. posts his lectures on moodle so just listen to them before exams. textbook optional if you are willing to put int he time for this class you will make an A.

Vincent LiCata is a woke king. Homework is completion, another grade is for inclass quizzes that are also participation/completion, but the textbook really helps if you want an A/A+ on the tests. Dude is really thoughtful and funny during lectures. Literally his only flaw is that for a few weeks I thought he only owned two shirts.

The class is definitely not easy so be prepared to go attend class (mandatory) and use textbook materials (mastering biology). You will get out what you put in. However, Licata is very understanding and a good professor. Grading consists of four exams, a final exam, learning catalytics (attendance) and online precipitation based quizzes.

Professor LiCata is a very chill guy. He lets the class lead discussions and debates, only stepping in to guide us. His class itself is very fun, however he is a very tough grader on all the papers. For most papers, the highest grade was like a 92. He curved a pretty good amount at the end though so it was fine.

His course relies heavily on the material in the textbook, which makes the class easy if you read all the chapters you learn about. He's easy to talk to about any questions you may have in class and there are a lot of chances to earn a high grade in his class. Make sure to read the textbook and go to class and you're all set.

Mr. LiCata is definitely one of the best choices out of all Bio 1201, and I only know this because all of my other friends had other teachers. He's a kind-hearted guy and is great at explaining/lecturing. You have to go to the class to know what's going on and to do this in-class questions. Definitely recommend.

Make sure to study the textbook above all things for the tests. Also, get the answers for the SI practice questions because a lot of those questions are on the test, or at least similar.

Professor LiCata genuinely cares about his students and works hard to ensure that everyone in his class has an equal chance to succeed! His BIOL 1201 class isnt easy, but he does a great job making the material interesting and relevant. Study the textbook, not just the lectures! And the study modules on MasteringBiology.

Lots of assignments on mastering biology but only the quizzes are graded. The homework is just to get a better understanding of the material. Great professor and he delivers great lectures (and his tests are funny)

Show up to class because you get participation points for learning catalytics. He's funny and his lectures are really interesting. He records all his lectures, uploads powerpoints, and gives us outlines. Going to SI will also really help with understanding. It's a difficult course, but he really does everything he can to make sure you succeed.

I love Licata, he makes class so engaging. he lectures and posts recordings of the lectures on Moodle, so if you don't go to class the only thing you'll miss is the learning catalytic's which is participation. If you don't have 3 spare hours to study EVERY NIGHT please just take this course somewhere else. It's so intense but he's a good choice

Dr. Licata is a very good teacher. His lectures cover the material very well while also keeping it interesting and relevant. He posts the recordings of his lectures on Moodle along with the PowerPoints and chapter outlines. 90% of your grade will be tests, but he puts a very generous amount of bonus questions on them. He's also a pretty cool guy.

I had Professor Licata last semester for BIOL 1201, and I honestly am not the biggest fan of BIOL 1201 material. However, he is amazing at lecturing and he is very fair with his tests. He creates his own tests, which is very nice. You have to study in order to get an A, but how he grades is reflective of your study habits. 10/10 would recommend.

great teacher! But you have to work for the grade you receive. I recommend reading the textbook, filling out the study guides, he posts his lectures online which is super helpful when studying. Online Quizzes are easy As. Start studying at least two weeks before the test, because he covers a lot of material.

From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli, the voice of the great Dr. Licata can be heard. It is seen with utmost clarity that this young gentleman loves what he teaches. I've never seen someone so consistently enthusiastic to teach. Truly remarkable.. In all reality, partial credit and bonus will rain upon you like the arrows of Troy.

Dr. Licata is a very good intro to bio professor. His tests are not hard, and stick to the material you go over IN LECTURE. I would heavily recommend attending lecture, sometimes he tells students what he will leave out of the test. He also records lecture and posts them to Moodle, so if you miss class its not all that bad. Great professor.

I earned an A in the course and enjoyed it the whole way through. All you have to do is watch his lectures and make sure you understand the material well enough. He was amazing at responding to our emails and concerns, and he was quick to clear up and fix things that didnt make sense or was a mistake on his end.

Not a very difficult class in material or course load. Just that the class is designed to be against students (likely to weed out) and the grades are weighted to where probably no one will get a A+. No Bonus, "In class" Quizzes that force students to sit on a 800 person zoom call which is basically office hours as the real class is self study.

You have to watch the lectures in your free time and take your own notes. The class itself is a chaotic zoom call of 800+ students doing polls to judge understanding of lectures. After each class, there is a quiz which is also used for attendance. A homework and second quiz for each chapter. A new chapter everyday. Class is hard but Licata is nice.

Dr. Licata was an amazing into biology professor! He posts lecture videos before class to prepare for class discussions and polls. At the end of class there will be a quiz, but it is often on the material we just went over. So pay attention in class and take notes of the lecture videos. The class is test heavy but you can utilize mastering biology

He's pretty funny and quirky, but he is serious when he needs to be. He's really dependable, and sticks to the syllabus super hard. He does make exceptions though, but dont miss class because there are quizzes at the end of every class that add up to a partial percent of your grade (that's his attendance). He also doesnt take excuses unless legit

Professor Licata is a great introductory Biology professor because he knows what he is talking about and is great at elaborating. While the lectures are watched outside of class, they are absolutely mandatory. The tests are very hard but open notes and if you participate in the polls in the zoom it will be a better experience. Weeds out weak.

The textbook is not needed but the mastering biology access code is because there are quizzes on there that are graded. He gives a quiz at the end of every class. His lectures are posted on Moodle and in class he does interactive polls. As long as you watch the lectures and write notes you can pass easily.

Professor Licata is a great professor, his class is online because it's large, but you do the majority of your learning in pre-recorded lectures. The class itself is more of a review session with a quiz at the end for attendance. It's a Tuesday-Thursday class and he goes over a new chapter every class. Tests are open note, and barely any homework.

His lectures can be long , but it is clear he is passionate about biology and conveys the lesson well. This class was reverse instruction, so you have to watch the lectures on your own time. LiCata is a very relaxed teacher and tries to answer all questions in full. Overall, he is a very nice guy and a good professor!

Tests are insane. This is a weed out class for a reason. If you are a biology major going into this class, there is a high chance that you will not be after this class. My class started with 900 students and ended the semester with 600. Study hard for the tests. Even though the class is relaxed, the tests are not.

LiCata posts his lectures before class so that you can watch it on your free time. Class time is spent going over questions related to the lecture content. I honestly spent 0 time studying for the exam and I got B+ and up on the exams. LiCata is such a sweet heart and he is super patient with the inconveniences that you may experience.

I loved Licata, if you do all of the things he tells you to do and work for your grade youll be fine. Its a tough class youll make it through. Licata is beyond knowledgeable about the material and answers questions to the best of his ability. Hes also all around just a good soul, would definitely take him again.

The class is mainly quizzes which he drops your lowest 7. But the exams are very heavily weighted. He does not let you make anything up nor will he give extra credit.

I didnt do great in this class, but Licata was still a great professor. I definitely couldve done better if I tried so as long as you put effort in and watch the lecture videos you should do well on quizzes. The only thing I would say is the exams. The textbook is never used but you should definitely read it if you want to pass the exams.

Watching the LECTURES and taking notes are the most important way to study for this class. His tests are worth almost 4/5 of your grade. As long as you know the information, you should be fine.

Can't believe Dr. Licata has below a 4 on here. He is an expert on the material he teaches and loves to answer any and all questions to the best of his ability. Tests were not difficult and you get free participation points from the online homework. Basically all the learning comes from the video lectures, while class is more fine-tuning.

He's a chill/smart dude. FLIPPED CLASS. Everything is either done through zoom or Moodle bc of covid. Managed to get an A w/ no notes and watched yt videos. RARELY bonus pts were added bc there'd be one weird question so u'd get only 2 pts back. Other profs curve with 10+ pts since their average scores were in the 60s or 70s bc they're bad profs.

Class is really easy, just do your work.

LOVED VINCE! Due to COVID, all lectures were posted online and class was held on zoom. Make sure you take GREAT notes and focus on what he says in the lecture rather than simply what the slides say-- he makes up most of his own test questions. He does his best to make content heavy chapters as clear as possible. He's open to answer any questions.

Professor Licata is a great intro to biology professor. Although it was online the lectures he provided were very detailed and as long as you took good notes the exams were not too difficult. He dropped many quizzes to help bump grades up.

I really like Dr. Licata as a person, but I would be lying if I said this class was easily done. You really need to put in extra effort to understand the topics inside and out. He will always help you with a question, but ultimately it's up to you to understand it.

Lectures were not bad. This bio is just like any other. Read the text book, take notes, go to lecture for review/questions/in depth analysis of concepts. This class required a lot of studying for exams, which were reasonably difficult, but this class is not the worst. LiCata is also helpful and friendly in office hours

Test are a huge part of your grade, but he tries hard to prepare you for them. He is such a cute sweet guy. I wish i could take him for everyone class because i just wanna spend all day with him

Dr. LiCata's class was very enjoyable and my favorite class this semester. The material itself is hard, and he understands this; he is always willing to answer any question you have and honestly provided constant support throughout this semester. I'm surprised he didn't block me with how much I emailed him, but he himself is always willing to help.

Probably better for small classes, but I liked LiCata. He uses the "flipped classroom" format, but he gives good answers if you pay attention and/or ask questions. Our exams are open note but weighted heavily, so detailed notes are important. The quizzes each class are similar to the in-class questions. Not too bad overall with a little effort.

All tests are open note, and he tells you not to, but you can take them with other people. If you watch the lectures and take good notes you will be fine. Take the time to understand the material.

quizzes every class which helps your grade, lectures are homework and class time is used answering questions about the lecture, exams can be taken from anywhere but are pretty hard, definitely still study hard for the exams even though they're open notes

this course is a lot of work, but he made it enjoyable. most of the grades come at the end so be prepared! a lot of writing (midterm, research paper, final, entry prompt) as well as a final pair presentation. he was very passionate and welcoming to our class, making the classroom a safe space despite the difficult discussions.

Very sweet man, but the class is just difficult. Long prefectures for every class that are def recommended. Quiz at the end of class every day, but you can do it from wherever. 5 tests that were all 60 questions, and he dropped one. No Himes all of it is through Moodle so you don't have to go to class. Textbook pretty much optional.

He uses a "flipped classroom", so you watch lectures on your own and class is just a Q&A session. I personally hated this, and it's way too easy to procrastinate. Exams are on Moodle: open notes, open book, open Internet (his words). He explains things thoroughly, so take very specific notes--he'll ask questions about small details.

It's completely my fault I flunked this class. The only grades are quizzes and tests and you can just use the textbook online. He's nice and easy to understand. You'll do well if you study. Attend SI sessions and participate for your own good.

Super easy class. He's a sweet guy. Only thing you have to do is take notes on pre-lectures before class and answer poll questions/do a quiz (1 per chapter) in class. No other assignments/grades. Textbook is optional, everything on the open-book exams is stated in lecture videos. Lowest exam grade is dropped. Lowest 6 quiz grades also dropped.

Flipped classroom format, watch the lecture on your own time. In class he reviews the main points of the lecture and asks questions and quizzes at the end of every class. The tests were able to be taken from anywhere, but they were pretty hard. He is a wonderful person though and would absolutely recommend!

Dr. Licata is a bit awkward, but he's kind and a good teacher. BIOL1201 is a big class, so sit towards the front if you intend to take the class seriously and get a good grade. I really liked the flipped class format even though I thought I wouldn't. He lets you use the internet during tests, but don't let that fool you, they're still pretty hard.

He is very nice. Lectures are on moodle but goes over it in class. His quizzes are on moodle at the end of the class time. Exams and final are on moodle, open note and can be taken anywhere. You have to study and Pearson isnt required. No extra credit

I attended almost every lecture, and although this class is difficult, I genuinely enjoyed it. He holds a Q&A session in class that is extremely helpful on the tests if you pay attention and take notes (try to sit in the front). Dr. Licata did everything possible to make sure that we all had the highest grades possible, and I recommend taking him!!

He is a super nice guy that is very knowledgeable about his subject. Tests were hard but not that bad and homework is easy but class is difficult just because of what the material it covers

He is an amazing professor. He gives out 5 exams throughout the semester, and all of his exams are based off of his lectures. He also posts his lectures on his moodle.I would recommend watching the lectures and pairing it with quizlet. Then, watch the lecture again. Super interesting class and he is thorough with his teaching. Absolutely love him.

Licata is a great professor, he does a flipped classroom where you watch the lecture before class and in class you do review questions and a quiz. There is no homework, but if you dont do the person stuff you wont pass the test. Every other test is on moodle.

Licata is such a fun professor that is also very knowledgable about what he teaches. Lectures are outside of class followed by questions in class which are super helpful. Many people complained that the class was hard but it is a university level bio class and many were not prepared. USE PEARSON LEARNING MODULES AND PRACTICE TESTS.

I loved this class. It was flipped, which took some getting used to but I ended up liking it. Each class period we just did questions on the content. Your only two grades are the exams and your quiz grades done at the end of each class (as long as you get to 50 points total you get the max). 3 exams were open notes and 2 in Himes. Best 1201 prof.

This is really one of the best sections of 1201 to take in the fall. Even though we watched video lectures before attending class, we had WAY less homework than the other sections. Material is clear, and you are given some of the test questions in class. I wish the class would've been much smaller since so many students weren't very engaged.

Licata is super nice and funny. You do not need to attend class, but it would be beneficial. You can take all quizzes wherever you want. Exams are in both himes and in class, but you can take the in class ones wherever. The final is not even cumulative

Dr. Licata was an amazing professor. He structures his class in order to maximize student success and thoroughly prepare them for the test. His tests are half on moodle with no curve but open notes and the other half in Himes with a heavy curve. If you put the effort in, it is not an incredibly difficult class however you MUST study!!!

Awesome professor. Loved the flipped class format because I got to watch the lectures on my own time, pause the videos, and take detailed notes. The open notes exams were harder than the exams in Himes. For the exams I made sure I understood the lectures well, read over the notes I took, and practiced the in class questions.

honestly Licata is super easy the reverse classroom works really well if you actually watched the lectures before class, but if you don't its still not bad because all of this classes are recorded too. Even if you blow off this class you'll probably end up with a decent grade.

This material can be difficult however Licata has tons of lectures and resources you can use to study. You are going to have to study and put in the work his tests are all on material he goes over in class. If you take good notes and study there is no reason you shouldn't have an A in this class he is a nice guy!

There was no homework given in this class so all the grades are based off exams and quizzes, which can go many ways. The lectures had to be watched outside of class, followed by 1.5 hr class in which he only went over a few review questions. Half of the exams were online and were pretty hard. The other half was in himes and much easier.

Professor Licata's class is challenging but manageable. The flipped format requires commitment, but his resources and study aids like Unstuck AI make it easier to excel. Engage with the material and you'll leave with a strong understanding of biology.

Best Biology professor. Exams are hard but he's very lenient and helps to get good grade.

The class is set up pretty simply. The class is flipped which means the usual routine is just to simply watch the online lecture and take a quiz at the end of the class time. The classes are recorded so you don't have to attend. Class is graded solely on the quizzes after class and 5 exams. Half of the exams are in Himes and the others are online.

He's knowledgable in what he teaches. He provides outlines with a lecture you listen to before class. His tests are reasonable and you do well if you put in the effort to study. He is a great person and very caring of his students. I would take him again if i could.

It is a flip style class, but if you watch his lectures and take notes you will be fine. Going to class and doing the in class quizzes does help you understand the material. He is very nice and passionate about the material. Half the tests are online and half are in himes. If you study it is not impossible to get a decent grade.

He was honestly the best professor to ever teach Biology 1201. His lectures are all online and he only does quizzes in class. He allows exams that are open-notes online and you don't have to be in class to take them. He added 5 points to our course total. he is very sweet and you will likely see him all over campus.

Licata's class is pretty easy as long as you study for tests. You have to watch the lecture online before class, and all u do in class is practice questions and then the quiz. You don't even have to go to class, u just have to make sure u take the quiz during the class time. He gives a lot of extra bonus points on tests and drops lowest 2 quizzes.

Licata's class takes work for a good grade, but it's manageable. He's a cool guy and very passionate. You watch the lectures outside of class and classtime is spent answering questions and discussing, with a quiz at the end. He gives good curves, so as long as you participate and engage with material and resources (get Pearson+!!), you'll be okay.

Do whatever you can to take Licata for 1201. As long as you are willing to actually try, you'll do great. Multiple online tests, and all other graded things other than that were easy. Several extra credit opportunities. Would take Licata again in a heartbeat.

Just watch the lectures and do the in class questions and you will be fine. apply the information and try to understand it rather than memorizing it. He's a great teacher. I've gotten B's and A's on the exams so far

he gives crazy curves, test one was 5 points and test 2 was 8

Not a hard class by any means, ignore the ratings saying it is hard to pass. The coursework is very very similar to AP Bio. Vince has a lot of passion about the material Quizzes at the end of every class. Go to class after you watched the lecture videos, answer the in-class questions and take notes and you'll be fine. Curves tests generously.

I LOVED Licata! He is a very enthusiastic professor and cares about the coursework. I recommend getting the textbook and doing dynamic study modules AND studying the in class questions, as well aas taking notes on lectures and inside of class. It is as easy as you make it. Study as you go! anyone who complains is still stuck in a hs mindset!

good at responding emails his lectures are online videos and you have to watch them before class exams at himes and they are super hard exams are your only grade in the class, quizzes are 10 of your grade and exams are 90% doesnt give any extra credit he curves exams pretty decently, the exams have 55 questions but he only grades 50

I enjoyed this class. Most of your grade comes from the exams. There are five exams and you have an in class quiz everyday. There are 95 avaliable points from the quizes but you only have to get 60. I would start studying two days in advance and get good grades on all of the tests.

Dr.Licata teaches this class with you watching the lectures at home and doing practice problems and small quizzes during class. His classes can get pretty boring but I thought going was helpful. He grades his class out of 560 points. 60 from the quizzes and 500 from tests so very test heavy. Take good notes on the lectures read them over to pass.

Flipped classroom style teaching. Daily in-class quizzes but super easy.

This course is challenging, it covers A LOT of material that can be complicated at times, but if you put in the work and effort, you'll be fine. He curves every exam and gives bonus opportunities for extra credit. He has a flipped class schedule, so you watch the lectures on your own and he answers questions in class.

If you are taking this class be prepared to study for a lot of people this was their first class out of high school that actually required more effort than a high school class. Just remember that things wont always be easy, find a way to study that works for you and do it and you will be ok.

He has a reverse class where you watch lectures and do practice questions in the class. Tests make up 89% of the grade and quizzes are 11%. Most exams are curved and normally have at least 5 bonus questions on them, so even though they can be tough it isn't impossible to get a passing grade.

Love him! He uses reverse teaching method so lectures are videos and powerpoints posted on moodle and then he does in class questions to discuss the material. I feel like in college you teach yourself anyways so I like that he posted lecture videos so class wasn't mandatory

Licata is easily the best professor for BIOL 1201. As long as you show up to class and put in the time to study, it is easy to get an A. He also gives lots of bonus, and his exams are out of 55 questions (5 bonus questions). His classes are flipped format, so you study before class and do practice questions in class, but they are very helpful.

This was a very easy class. I put all the lecture notes on quizlet and memorized for a day and got over a 100 on every test. He gives bonus and good curves. I didn't go to any lectures except for the first 4. He is very funny and fun to listen to if you do go though. You do not need the textbook, I didn't use it once.

Definitely the best biology professor. This class helps you to learn how to study while still not being too hard. There is a lot of work that goes into studying for the exams, but once you figure out the best way you learn the exams will come to you easy. The class itself is hard but if you work hard it's really not that bad. Take licata. TRUST.

Dr. Licata is very knowledgeable, but this is a flipped classroom (teach yourself). Lectures are for practice questions and quizzes. Exams (Himes) are 90% of your grade. No homework but exam questions are pulled from Mastering Biology (optional) and in class questions. Curve on exams based on class average and bonus questions on every one.

As a transition from high school to college biology, I thought he was a great professor to have. While the class was extremely test heavy and you absolutely have to study, there are a lot of resources to help you study. I also enjoyed how he uploaded the lectures to Moodle for us to watch on our own time and in class focused on review and questions

Teaches backwards, you watch the lecture online and class is review questions. Makes learning much easier, you can watch lectures at your own pace multiple times. Be prepared to study for exams it is applying not just definitions. Small part of grade is quizzes the rest exams and he curved most exams. Final wasn't cumulative!!!

I've taken both prof for BIOL1201, take him. He posts the lectures which is your key to making good grades. Also gave 2 extra credit oppurtunities, curves based off the class majority which I thought was fair. Literally all the tests are based off the lectures he posts. It is test heavy though, so there's no homework to help.

Prof. LiCata is pretty good as far as things go. Class is a 'flipped format,' meaning you watch the recorded lectures at home and do group review questions in class. Grade is ~90% determined by a few exams and the other 10% is from a quiz each day you meet. If you are good at taking tests or have a background in biology, it's very straightforward.
