Reviews of professor Astor Suriano

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Professor Suriano is awesome!! Hes very friendly and really cares about the success of his students. This is a very hard class attendance, studying, and reading the book will help. Hes also good at responding to emails. I recommend taking his course.

best teachers Ive ever had in science. cares about his students, if he sees the class isnt doing well, he changes how he makes the test in your favor,offers lots extra credit,gives study guides early and if you do the study guide you'll get an A in class, ive noticed people didn't do well when they didn't show up or on their phones

(COVID/online)SUM2020: Squeezing this 4c class into 4 wks is rough but doable. No extra credit. Prof Suriano is knowledgeable/helpful but I had an issue & I couldn't complete some hw on time, he grave me an extension but never opened the hw (they lock, he took long to respond). In the end I lost points & had an exam averaged instead of taking it.

grading is fair. you also have to put in the effort. its a bio class but he relates lectures to things you remember. study guide is key for A also reading the chapters. lecture slides online. students will ask him about career advice during breaks and after class also. amazing professor.

I have never taken a class with this much work before. For example, it's the last 2 weeks and I have 7 homework assignments, 2 labs (about 20 pages each) and 3 exams. There are 49 assignments total, thats including exam. There are 9 exams, and he expects you to have some knowledge of bio.

professor Suriano genuinely cares about his students. he wants everyone to succeed and gives so much extra credit its crazy. do the study guides. you do have to read but he's so nice and makes bio easy to understand

Took him winter term (6week), book comes included when signing up for SimBio (costs money but includes the Hw & assignments and book), there is 3 projects and a few discussions boards. Final is based on labs (JoVE through school website free).Quizzes on Lab Manuals (JoVE videos) but the vids are short. WOULD take again! Read & dont procrastinate!

Always showed up late, past the 15 minute mark, but still expected students to wait for him and would deduct points for attendance otherwise. Veered offtopic in lecture and then rushed through class material so you basically have to teach yourself by reading the book. He was always confused in lab, no clear due dates/do not rely on class syllabus.
