Prof. Skopik is a great guy who really cares about his students. Lecture is mandatory to do well. He also gives practice test which gives you a sense for his testing style. If you study hard AND understand his question style you'll do well in this class.

Very easy going man, God bless his heart. Textbook is definitely a must to read to prepare for exams. Lectures are a guideline. The teacher is great! Take him! Compared to other bio teachers he is definitely the most understanding and treats students with respect. You're more than just a number in his class. He wants you to do well.

This class isn't a cakewalk but definitely passable if you put in a little effort. Curves every exam, tells goofy eccentric stories, and really keeps your attention for the whole class period. Take him!!

Skopik is a great guy. Really laid back and really interesting to listen to for lecture. However, his test making style is extremely vague and questions are often unclear. The lab final and lecture final for this class are IMPOSSIBLE. There simply isn't enough time to learn everything you need to know over winter session. Good luck, you'll need it.

Prof. Skopik is the best guy you could hope to have over Winter session. Really nice old man, but this class is unforgiving in the short few weeks you have in Winter session. Lecture is interesting and review games are played. Tests are unforgiving and sometimes unclear questions. Pray you have a good TA for Lab, its a huge part of the grade.

Professor Skopik's lectures are interesting but the exams are tough and lab final is even worse. Exam questions are hardly ever stated clearly.

Comment:
Prof. Skopik covers fairly basic material in Honors BISC 207, but his tests are unforgiving. Lots of material is covered for each one, and his questions are phrased in such a way as to leave you unsure of your answer. He absolutely favors kids based on what high school they attend, and he treats this 200 level class as a 400 level class. DO NOT TAK

Skopik is my favorite professor. He makes class entertaining and very understandable. He gives tests that are partially open book but you still need to read and take notes. He loves telling hilarious stories which make everyone laugh, even at 8am. I recommend you take him if you get the chance. He is the epitome of what every teacher should be.

After the first few minutes of class you will realize that Professor Skopik is da man...His lectures are easy to follow, and he does tend to tell some funny stories to lighten the mood. Tests are a bit hard (the 15min open book portion is kinda useless).The lab final is nearly impossible. YOU WILL NEED THE TEXT BOOK!!Curvs Tests slightly.

Professor Skopik is a great professor. He is a master of keeping biology fun and changes up the monotony by telling stories. I took his course during summer sesh and the 2 hour lectures came a lot easier than it should have. Plays games that help you study! Tests are challenging but if you read and attend lecture(a must!) you'll get that A

Skopik is great. Took over winter sesh and surprisingly wasn't bad at all. Explains material and tells little old man stories during class that are funny and cute. Tests are hard, it is bio but overall a great prof and class. Read the book and listen in class. Def take him if you have the opportunity!

He is an amazing teacher. He is such a sweetheart and really loves what he does. His tests are a bit challenging but do the practice exams that he gives you to get a gist of it. Once you get used to the exam style you should be set! Very helpful and nice guy.

The funniest and most interesting man on campus hands down. Kept your attention in an early morning class. Entertained while he was teaching. Just wish his lab TAs were of higher quality.

Professor Skopik is such a funny and cute old man, one of my favorite professors at UD. I have a problem with falling asleep in early morning classes, but I actually looked forward to (and stayed awake in!) 8am lectures with Skopik. You have to read the book to do well, but definitely take him if you get the chance.

he is the cutest old man ever. he is an interesting professor. he notes can be all over the place but if you read the text book and then read the notes again they will make sense actually. naik was much less interesting and hard to understand. pay attention to skopiks funny examples he may ask about them on the test

Skopik's funny and is a good teacher. Though he doesn't use the text at all in class, you should read it before tests to do well. If you sign up for his class, be aware that Nauen may be the assistant professor and she is extremely boring. Skopik makes Bio interesting and is always in a good mood. One of the best professors, would recommend to all.

DO NOT take professor skopik. I mean he is a great guy and tries to make the material interesting. But if the tests covered material about what movie he had to watch and talk about to his grandson Johnny (Hannah Montana 3D concert) I would have easily gotten an A. His notes are very unclear and when studying I often read them over and didnt have an
