He takes getting used to, nice guy if he likes you. Interesting person, off-colored sense of humor. I enjoyed working with him.

Not a bad teacher, some students just refuse to actually try to learn a lot of material in one semester. Nice guy, and a good teacher.

A good guy who deserves respect. Don't fall behind though . . .

Very knowledgeable and willing to help if you stop by his office. Provides a challenge for students and if this challenge is embraced, students will learn a lot. Need to put a lot of time and effort but the rewards are worth it.

People who don't like Dr. Terzaghi are lazy and not willing to work hard. He is a COLLEGE professor, and teaches COLLEGE information. I understood him and learned alot.

He is Thee Man. People who don't like Dr.Terzaghi got on his bad side and never tried to get on his good side. He is a brillant professor, who knows more then you can ever imagine about Biology and Life. He is a role model and an inspiration to many.

He definitely knows what he's talking about, but can be intimidating at times. Try to get on his good side and let him know that you're trying.

His class is not that easy and if you dont know him he can be an ass, but if you go for help or get to know him he is a great guy.

He is a great professor with a "weird" sense of humor that is funny to bio-nerds like me. He aims to actually TEACH you something rather than be a lazy, easy teacher which is why some students don't like him.

Took for 121 and 226. This guy is awesome and if you don't like him, then you probably already failed out of Pharmacy, like you should have - you lazy tool. Get out of my college. You suck at life. Pharm. D. is made up anyway.

Difficult, but funny.

hard class but tests are directly from notes. if u dont get at least a 3.0 u must be an idiot

Dr. Terzaghi is an incredibly intelligent man. The class is challenging because of its fast pace, however, he is a very fair professor. He deserves respect.

Doc is one of the best teachers ever!! He loves his students and his work. His class is really hard, but it is worth taking because he has the most warped and hilarious sense of humor out there!! He is attractive in a seventies**** star kinda way.

He might seem like a mean or scary guy at first, but he's actually funny and pretty interesting. His class does take some studying, but it's not too hard. Tests are on the notes and he goes in the order of the book for the most part.

His class was not that bad overall, it took studying, but tests were very fair. He seems very cocky in class, but if you have questions for him, do not be afraid to approach. Although his Sunday night review sessions are not extremely helpful, they are worthwhile, he finishes what Deb doesn't.

Great teacher

Dr. Terzaghi's an awesome professor! His lectures go so fast, but his class is no piece of cake!

Terzaghi's class is awesome. I enjoy every minute and it really wakes me up in the morning. I mean, who else shoots off rockets and drinks beer in class? ^_^ His class isn't as bad as everyone says. Study hard, go to the review sessions, and you'll be fine. And don't be afraid to talk to him either, he'll listen to you.

I was going into this class hoping for a 2.5 i hated bio in HIGh school, and now i love it. I left that class wanting to learn more. He made it fun. He cant be too easy going in class with 100-200 ppl, its tought, but outside he is very helpful he will go over whatever yo need for the exam without hestiation

Awesome guys, really knows the subject. Highly recommended teacher for anyone willing to work.

Doc is the MAN! His classes aren't easy, per se, but they are doable if you just study. He tests right from the notes, so there's no reason to get anything wrong. He's also a really funny guy and if you listen, you'll notice all the little jokes he drops during lecture. His analogies are amazing. One of the best profs on campus, hands down.

This class is not easy, you have to study, but the main thing is to go to Ms. Chapman's review sessions and do the study guides. In this case you'll do fine and won't even have to study a lot on your own. Class is interesting because he incorporates real life scenarios into his lectures and takes time to discuss current research.

He is quite hard to understand due to his lisp, however he is a great teacher. Every test is directly from the notes. The review sessions weren't even needed nor was the book (I've honestly never even taken a look at the thing). Furthermore he is really helpful outside of class. His tests however do require you know your stuff or else.

This class requires its students to actually study, unlike many other college level courses. For many reasons, Dr. Terzaghi is an excellent instructor who can actually challenge his students. The exams are more than simple regurgitation; they require conceptual understanding. Yes, there is an intimidating amount of information. Welcome to Biology.

His classes are always interesting. He makes extremely funny examples...lights firecrackers in class...all of that. Attend Debs review session tho..theyre always helpful

Great professor if you are willing to study hard and LEARN the material and not just memorize it. His class moves very quickly, especially with the powerpoints, but he brings real-life experiences and research into the class. I recommend going to the study sessions and studying LOTS!

One of the best teachers I have ever experienced. He is very helpful when you visit him at his office. The exams test to see if you were paying attention in class. Review sessions are EXTREMELY helpful.

Great teacher. Funny examples and demonstrations. It is a fast-paced class though. It can be tough if you don't stay on top of things. Study hard and attend the review sessions, they really help.

Dr. Terzaghi does a pretty good job at presenting the material...unfortunately that's all he does. He seems very unapproachable, but is actually very helpful if you go talk to him outside of class. Ms. Chapman's review sessions are a crucial part of this class, and so are the clicker questions (bonus points). Yeah, at least the mode got it correct.

Brilliant professor. He clearly knows his material and enjoys teaching it. He initially seems very unapproachable, but if you go to see him during his office hours he will be more than glad to help you. In fact, get to know him. He is a very interesting person to talk to and he appreciates when students take an interest in the class.

GO TO REVIEW SESSIONS AND FILL OUT THE SHEETS, MAKE FLASH CARDS!!!! They are pretty much a 4.0 on a platter! Know them, and you'll do fine on the test. Dr. Terzaghi seems condesending and unapproachable, kind of stuck up and intimidating, go to Chapman if you want help. Some bonus oportunities as well. HARD class.

Go to review sessions!!! They helped me out and made everything clear. Make sure you try to do good on labs, they will bring your grade up. The first exam is the easiest. The rest get tougher. Keep on top of your material- don't cram cause there is too much to study for the tests.

Yes, Dr. Terzaghi is a tough teacher, but i have learned more in his one semester class than i have in two years of biology I took in high school. Go to every review session and understand all of his review questions and you should do well.

This class requires a lot of work, but the amount of knowledge you get out of it is incredible. He gives you all of the resources to do good, you just have to put in the time and effort. Review sessions are crucial. Labs are a pain, but manageable. His tests are very well written, and his lectures can be very interesting at times. Great class.

Dr. Terzaghi is the man! Yes his class is difficult, but it is definitely possible to get a 4.0. Review your notes every night and read the textbook, it is a life saver. Attend all review sessions and go see him with questions, he is actually very helpful! An overall awesome and very interesting class.

Dr. Terzaghi may seem intimidating at first and his class is hard, however, as long as you attend every one of Chapmin's review sessions you will do fine. Labs are time consuming but managable.

I feel bad for the freshmen who complained about this class, because they must not have made it any farther. Yes it was hard, but to prepare you for upper levels. Can't thank this guy enough for how much he prepared me for cell/molec, orgo, biochem, anatomy, etc. Put time in, and you will succeed, as with anything.

Great guy and the class is not that tough. I recommend just listening in lecture and understanding the material while you're there. Copy someone else's notes later to reinforce the concepts. Labs are time consuming, but not hard. I only attended one of Chapman's reviews and still got a 3.5; they're helpful, but not necessary for a good grade

Everyone always says how horrible the class is, but I didn't think that at all. Yes, it's a lot of work and can be overwhelming because of the clicker questions, but if you do the work and study, you'll do fine. Make the notecards, go to the reviews, and study with friends!

This is a course that will test if you really want to be a bio major, pharm major, or pre-med major. It is a rigorous course that requires review and study every single day. The content is interesting and help is readily available between tutors, email, textbook, internet, and weekly review sessions. No hidden surprises, all clearly laid out.

Good professor, smart man but a rude, mean guy outside of class. I will not go into details to save this man's name, because he's very intelligent and Wilkes is lucky to him, but I have disdain for him as a person. Make sure you keep up with the chapters as you go otherwise when the test comes you will be super stressed.

Didn't go to any of the review session, studied the day before for a few hours, and still got a 90 average. Quizzes are harder than the tests

This class came with its challenges, but if you actually try, you will get a 4.0. I came to Wilkes not knowing a thing about biology, went to Mrs. Chapman's reviews and took very good notes, and got a 104, 100, 96, and a 90 on the tests (lowest is dropped) and a 97 on the final exam. He is a very educated man and will answer all of your question.

For some reason AP Bio doesnt count for 121, if you took it its basically just a repeat, I did my chem labs during his lecture, barely payed attention and got an easy 4.0. If you take note in his class make sure you take them fast as he will change slides without warning. Overall seemed like a great guy and does teach whats on the tests.

Yes: the lectures are long, the tests are hard, and sometimes its hard to understand whats going on, but with the resources he provides and hard work, this is a great class. If you took AP Bio, much of the content is just review. So many resources (study sheets, review sessions, tutoring) are provided and I would recommend Terzaghi.

This course is similar to AP Bio but goes into more detail. Go to all of the review sessions. You only need to study the review papers he posts every week for the exams. Make sure to do well on the labs, as the grading system is just total points. The quiz questions are usually harder than the exam questions.

Would definitely recommend Terzaghi! Challenging but very willing to help and as long as you attend Mrs. Chapman's reviews you will do amazing! Does not use textbook but would recommend using it on your own to further understand concepts, wish I would have done that earlier. Very nice guy and understands that life happens!

As a freshman (which is when you are most likely taking this class), this class can be difficult. It is designed to transition you into the college atmosphere. If you keep up with the study questions/sample exam questions, watch Chapman's reviews, and know how to apply the material, you will do just fine. Having AP bio in high school helped a lot.

Overall, he was a fair professor. Only things he talked about in lecture and lab were on the exams. Make sure to do all study questions to get a good understanding of the materials. Some study questions appear on the exams. Only grades include lab packets, exams, and quizzes on Sunday. Attend all Mrs. Chapman's reviews, they will do wonders!
