Reviews of professor Alessandro Catenazzi

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Great evolution professor. His exams are not easy, part multiple-choice part essay questions (more like short answer if you can get the point across in few sentences). Gotta know your stuff for the exams since examples are given to draw conclusions (studies, graphs, etc). Geat lecturer and easy to understand. Helps you link together concepts easily

50% exams 25% final 25% iclickers, homework, classework. this was his first sememster in fiu... hopefully we were his guinea pigs and he has learned how to proper teach. Apart from that his exams are a nightmare. What were taught and HOW were taught doesnt match with their level of difficulty.

Hes alright. Taking this class from zoom sure didnt help but the way he lectures is like hes talking to his colleague about a topic they both know. The PowerPoints are unless you listen to every word he says during lecture and take notes. I honestly wouldnt take him again even tho he is not very difficult to take. Just a bit of a drag for me :/

He is one of the worst professors for the biology department. Think it twice before taking him. his tests are essay questions while other professors are online or way EASIER than him, i took him because it fit my schedule but i believe it was a TOTAL disaster. LOTS of readings, and pop quizzes. Also, be prepared to write a lot and math. THE WORST!

Super tough! Laid back teacher but not laid back examiner. I do not recommend this professor.

He is the worst biology professor at FIU, extremely disorganized and demanding.
