Comment:
Does not communicate, doesn't care about external factors like the fact that TopHat is terrible and caused so many issues. Does not get back to you in a timely manner and is quite frankly rude. LOTS of information that is very depth. Honestly the worst class.

TIP: Due to A HUGE AMOUNT of contents in this class, you should work smarter not harder for this class. That being said, test and exam are all online and are ALWAYS curved 70% or else. Extra credit gives 50 points but you are guaranteed to get at 30 points if you meet the requirements. Spend 5 mins per quiz, 2 months for the paper. Hint:CourseHero

Comment:
There is way too much information given at one time, the tests are extremely hard and not applicable to the reading. I get almost 100% on every Lab test for biology but a D on his exams. A friend of mine never read a chapter and got an A because her test happened to be online, mine was not, its the luck of the draw. DO THE EXTRA CREDIT

His tests have nothing to do with the course material. For a Bio100 class I felt like I was learning way too much and going into what too much detail. He offers extra credit but it will take time and effort and you still may end up short of points you think you deserve.

Lots of work, tests are very hard even if you study, but most quiz & test answers are online via CourseHero. Just time consuming

Comment:
I took the online Bio 100 class and it was extremely difficult. The homework quizzes are easy, but the exams are impossible. You have to remember the entire chapter word for word to get an A. Usually, the exams are on about 14 chapters so it's a lot of information to remember. He makes review videos but they aren't that helpful.

Comment:
um. just don't. THE HARDEST tests you can imagine, if you're not a bio expert you won't get a good grade, which is ironic because it is an entry college level class for freshman. Save yourself the trauma, go take this class at Mesa if you have too.

Comment:
Pozos was hands down the worst science professor I've had, he is so organized there is no textbook its his own written word, this course does not correlate with the lab. He offers a 50 point extra credit research paper to help you raise your grade without no one would have passes this class

This class was easily one of the most poorly organized classes I've taken in all my years of schooling. This class was an online class and the lectures are just notes, with the occasional video. There are 3-4 10 question quizzes a week, three midterms, and a final. All are ridiculously hard and the answers are rarely in the notes.

This class consists of completing 3-4 quizzes each week on a online program called TopHat, 3 Tests, and 1 cumulative final covering 45 chapters of material. The tests and final were the hardest exams I have ever taken at SDSU. If you do not find Biology interesting, I strongly suggest not taking this class. It was extremely hard to be successful.

All the assignments consists of 10 questions quizzes that are assigned 3-5 times a week but most of your grade is from 4 exams that are meant to challenge you rather than making it an online class where you can simply look up the answers.

One of the worst classes I have ever taken in my life. The Prof has a lot of knowledge and experience, which made it hard for me to follow with him. We had to read almost 1000 page for the final, so think twice before taking this class.

Comment:
More difficult than calc II. His class consists of 3 midterms, a final, and a quiz every other day. All the quizzes and tests are online, and going to his lecture does not help. The quizzes can be found online; however, his test are completely different and the questions do not contain info from his modules. He does not respond to emails.

This class was really tough. There are 3 tests and a final. Also theres about 3 homework assignments a week which you have to do to be able to pass this class. I got a D on three tests but still passed with a B- because of the homework. I felt that the tests were way more in depth than the readings. Take another professor if you can

This class is awful. If you can, take it from someone else. - The material is explained very poorly, and with poor grammar. I bought a different textbook to understand the concepts better - The quizzes and EC will save your grade - The professor is non-responsive or is slow to respond, and doesn't meet his own deadlines when he does respond.

Do yourself and favor and just don't. Last spring, I only took this class because it was required for my major and he was the only professor listed. He lectures using specific terminology we don't understand and exams are incredibly hard. I didn't really learn. Do the extra credit if you find the time. This professor is not worth the frustration.

I honestly liked Dr. Pozos bio class. He's a pretty interesting a guy &his lectures were enjoyable. But it was tough class. There were 3 quizzes that were given each week, 3 exams and Final. If you want to pass the class, stay on top of your modules &come to class even if you don't want to,and ask a lot of questions. Don't slack and you'll do fine.

Dr. Pozos' class is mostly online. Always do the modules! Just don't miss any and you'll do fairly well. Mostly everyone scores low on the tests, so the test curve is pretty good. His lectures can be boring, but he cracks jokes often. If you talk to him after class or at his office, he is a very caring professor, so talk to him!

I was in the lecture class and never went because this class is basically all online. The modules are 50% of your grade and are straight out of the readings. The exams are hard and the questions he ask never really relate to the readings. Good extra credit opportunity to try and make up points.

Comment:
Took the online segment. Horrible professor. Tries to word things to make you get the wrong answers instead of teaching actual concepts. Module quizzes I did great on, and then the questions on the exams are not from the material that was in the modules and readings! Can get a B pretty easily, but won't learn much.
