Reviews of professor Brian Zielinski

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I've taken all of my marine science biology requirements with him, and I would do it again. His lectures are easy to follow without being too confusing, and he explains in depth whenever there's a question. His tests are difficult but not to the point of automatic failure. If you put work in, you'll get results.

I have had him for multiple classes at Eckerd College and enjoy having him as a professor. He does his best to make sure everyone understands the material and is on the same page. I love his labs and he does try to make things smooth for everyone.

I took Bio Oce over a year ago but Dr. Z has been super helpful outside of the classroom with letters of recommendations and as a marine science mentor. He's a funny character with interesting lectures. Highly recommend getting to know him, whether through office hours or class.

Nice and funny guy, but the worst professor I have ever taken. Lectures are completely disorganized and way too complicated. His expectations are unreasonably high for what we know and can memorize cell processes is supposed to be an intro class, not a 300 level one. It's never felt like he wanted his students to succeed. Bad teacher.

The lectures for his class are very long and can sometimes be hard to get through because of the topic, but everything in the slides is what you are tested on so note taking is important. The tests are half multiple half written and are very straight forward. 1 term paper and as long as you put the effort and have the required material, easy A

If you learn through lectures then you'll do well in class. You don't NEED to go to class but it'll be hard to learn from his powerpoints alone. Labs are fun but they can be difficult. Lectures are enjoyable. One of my favorite professors so far. Exams are difficult
