Comment:

I had a professor for Lab and Bio and his class was interesting on Remote. Probably would have been more fun with an in-person lab. I have no passion for Biology, but I did learn a lot from my Professor. He is a nice guy and funny, cares about his students.

Comment:

I took Prof. Antonelli in the Fall of 2020 for the lab portion of general biology. I think that he's a good professor who is open to helping students. I like how his assignments were easy and didn't require a complex lab kit. If you are looking for a somewhat easy course taught by a nice person, I recommend you take biology with Prof. Antonelli.

Do not take him for remote learning classes. His labs are impossible to accomplish while doing remote learning, he can't communicate well, doesn't elaborate or explain anything clearly on video lectures. Just don't take him for online classes.

Antonelli was an amazing professor and he was so funny!!! The content was a little difficult but he made the lectures very interesting with the slideshows. Exams are can be complicated but they're open notes and the quizes are really easy. He is also really good to the students with 504 accommodation plans.

Go to class and pay attention and use your notes on the exams. If you do all of this you are guaranteed at least a B. Don't buy the textbook, Great guy.

Print out his slides and take notes on them when he lectures, he lets you use them on exams. You still have to study for exams bc their usually 65-70 questions. His lectures are interesting and he gives tons of extra credit assignments. Don't buy the book I just used his slides and was fine. Great professor.

Antonelli is a great professor! He allows you to use notes on exams, take online quizzes at home, and complete extra credit assignments. The only downside is that he is very monotone and lecture heavy. He is VERY educated on his field, but rarely strays from his slides. After taking him for BIO 161, BIO 161L, & BIO 162, I definitely recommend him!

I have had this professor for Bio 1&2. Every science professor I had at OCC usually had no idea what they were talking about, however, this professor changed my view on the science department. The lectures are off the power point, a quiz for each exam, 4 exams, extra credit given in bio 1 and easy A projects in bio 2. BEST PROFESSOR AT OCC!

Comment:

The lectures were a bit monotonous but Antonelli is a fair professor. Grades fairly, gives plenty of extra credit, barely used the book at all, most of the test was straight from the PowerPoint notes. He explains things quite well and shows examples outside of the PP. I would recommend him if you enjoy basic note taking and very little discussion.

The assignments, quiz and discussions were all very straight forward. Exams were tough and don't show you answers so no idea what you got rightwrong. Labs were time consuming to make sure to look at them early in the week.

Very boring lectures, he reads off the power point and his explanations are not very easy to follow. You can print out the slides or take notes and bring them to the exams, however the notes aren't very efficient. The test are 70 questions and its hard to finish them on time. Does give extra credit at the end of the semester. I would not recommend

I highly recommend Prof. Antonelli! He provides his slide shows for you to print out and use in class (which I HIGHLY recommend so you can write down extra notes he mentions rather than the slide info). He allows you to take quizzes AT HOME, tests are OPEN NOTES (using both slides & your personal notes). I had him for BIOL-161 and BIOL-161L :)

Professor Antonelli is a solid choice for a biology professor. He is straightforward, and very explanatory. He used to work as a research biologist in Manhattan and it shows. If I were to pick one negative thing about him it is that he is stupidly overqualified, which can make his lectures seem unmotivated at times however he never does a bad job

Great teacher. Just go to class, pay attention to the slides and take notes. I also recommend printing out the slides to follow along more easily. It is an open notebook test, so the slides come in handy. Just study before and you will do fine. Don't study, you won't pass. He tells you exactly what is on the test. Very clear with explaining concept

Great professor. Every class is a long, boring lecture, but I actually enjoy knowing exactly what to expect. He is really a nice guy, and tests are OPEN NOTEBOOK. So if you take good notes, you should be fine. Attendance is graded as well, so I do not recommend skipping class. Just be prepared, and you will do just fine.

Was a very good professor. Lectures do drag on, but if you strike up a conversation, then it becomes interesting. Show up to lab once a week and you are guaranteed to pass. Accessible outside of class which is always good. Offers extra credit assignments

This professor told us NOT to buy the textbook and all he does is drone over power-point slides. After a few weeks of frantically trying to take notes on his slides and sloppy board drawings, one online quiz and an exam that have nothing to do with one another. No other assignments. Very dismissive of questions. Unapproachable. Do not take.

Good side- he lets you use your handwritten notes on tests Bad side- most of the questions on the test are reworded to the point that you cant even find it in your notes. Sometimes questions on the tests arent even in your notes. Note- be a quick writer. He goes through slides quickly. Hes kinda rude. But like I said, we can use our notes.
