Reviews of professor Apollo Kacsinta

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I really really dislike this class. His homework is so picky I will choose the correct answer but it's just not the correct answer that HE wants. Plus there are so many readings and assignments and if you forget one you can't make it up lol!!!!! like what even is that? this class, it's assignments, and its exams are so annoying please don't take it

I had him as a substitute.
I'm writing this because I don't think these reviews are fair. Professor K is kind, approachable, and knowledgeable. Don't mistake difficult material for an unfair professor. I wonder if the bad reviews are from those students who always managed to enroll in the "easy A" sections and now don't know how to work or study.

sdsu needs to hire some more bio profs, all of them are terrible. i had to retake this class because i was not allowed a makeup exam for an emergency, so i took this over the summer. all the lectures are old and extremely long. the homework is so picky, and he will not answer your emails. do not take this class if you can

there is a lab due and quiz every class. If you know ahead of time you can't make it, there is an option to make up class.  If you study, you'll be fine. read the lab before class to save time. labs are fun and that's coming from someone who hates the subject of bio period. I have an A so far. Quizes r not multiple choice, study lab book.

Doesn't offer extra credit opportunities, exams are worth a lot of points and you can't miss a single assignment without it affecting your grade. Deadlines on Thursdays. I wouldnt take him again, he tests on everything (lectures, readings, videos) and on specific things we didn't focus on or that may seem random. Don't take him.

Does not make PowerPoints available until right when lecture begins. He is uninterested and bored with what he is teaching and could not care less if you fail his class. He is a very late grader often taking 1+ months to grade one lab. Labs have to be submitted same day and he gives minimal feedback.

The professor is really nice. Read EVERYTHING.  For lab report make sure you wright a hypothesis and conclusion. Test were 30-35 multiple choice and  6-8 essay or know the process which had multiple steps in them. started w/ 20 students ended with 9. Doable but as mentioned you will need to study. Lab/HW not bad. Study hard for tests.

Prof. Kacsinta was not too bad, IMO. He's pretty shaky when lecturing which I understand because he's new at teaching. You might learn more from reading the textbook alone than his lectures. Amidst from that, he was friendly and open to answer any questions students had during lab. He's also a good source of help when it comes to histology.
