Reviews of professor Thomas Giardina

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He is a fast talker. SO if you look down to take notes, you will look back up and he will be onto the next topic. His exams are hard. He says to focus on the focal questions but they are vague. It is best to study everything. Once in a while he gave discussion quizzes, which were annoying papers we had to read and know the information on. Good luck

He is very helpful and willing to do every and anything for his students. I had issues with some material and he was willing to use his time to help me. I appreciate everything he has done for me.

He is a reallyagreat and inspiring teacher. If you enjoy being in school and working hard to really understand concepts and all components of them you will enjoy this class. Just being around him will make you gain brain cells. However if you are not willing to put 100% into the class you will want to rethink, he has a lot of content in short time.

Gives many opportunities for extra credit. You can tell he loves his job + teaching + very nice. Has office hours for any struggles you may have. He says focus on focal questions, but you want to study everything he could put anything on the test. He goes fast, but if you type the notes in class and then write them when you get home it will help!

Makes lectures fun but does tend to read off of slides so it can be easy to lose focus. Very funny and respectful, very understanding if you have something come up. Try to go to every class and study often to keep up and know the materials. I didn't study religiously and still finished with a high B/low A. Online textbooks are free but not used.

As someone who has struggled with Biology in the past, Dr. G made the content so easy to understand. He is the first teacher that I've had that shows just how much he cares about his field of study. He makes every effort to address any questions you may have so that you understand the content fully. If you put in time and effort in, you'll be set.

I actually took bio of human sexuality with Dr. G but it wasn't an option to choose from. But he is a great professor, you can tell he likes teaching and cares a lot about his students and wants to make sure they are learning. I found his class very interesting and I didn't find the quizzes or exams too challenging as long as you study for them.

He was a great professor. Came to office hours many times for extra help. I would highly recommend to anyone.
