Reviews of professor Paul Venturelli

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Class is lecture heavy but with a clear grading structure. Homework due almost every class. Would not take with other time-consuming classes, but good class for MCAT

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Venturelli is a nice guy and he loves fish. It was annoying that he always related general ecology back to fish. There is a homework assignment due before every lecture and a couple of group projects, one of which is very long and time-consuming. He curves all of the exams which helps because they are worth 50% of your grade.

Flipped classroom. Do homework daily/R Studio assignments, come to class to get answers & some lecture. Attendance is absolutely necessary. If you're not interested in learning a little coding, don't take this class. Paul is very caring & offers up to 80 EC points. Good stats class if you're taking the MCAT. Highly recommend for a Biology elective.

He is a great guy who is clearly very passionate. likes to relate to students and crack jokes. he expects a lot and gives an incredible amount of homework but will always answer questions at almost any time of day. his grading is a little whack but survivable

This class was hard, but only because stats is super hard on its own. Dr. Venturelli did a good job at making a hard subject engaging and being available for students. He is super helpful when you ask questions, but he asks that you attempt to answer the question on your own first too. Overall, would take his class again!

Dr. Venturelli is a great professor and gives good lectures. Exams are very lecture heavy, the chapter summary in the textbook is very helpful for exams. All homework is graded for completion. There is a large amount of extra credit offered in this class. Know how to study, because this class you have to study a lot if you want good grade.
