Comment:
He is really nice and likes teaching. However, when he takes over for the last 1/4 of the classes, the the course gets extremely challenging. It may just be me, but my quiz average dropped majorly when he took over. The change in teaching style is just hard and, in my opinion, he teaches WAY above the 100 level:\ Basically ruined my grade.

Comment:
It requires a decent amount of studying to get a B in this class, but it is crazy hard/impossible to get an A. He doesn't ever curve tests which is annoying because a lot of people fail them

Pizzolato can be very repetitive in lecture, but he makes the subject matter easier to understand. His powerpoint slides will help to understand lab experiments. Follow his lectures and you should get a good grade.

Comment:
One of the best teachers, and best classes I have taken at UD. He is VERY clear, and if you take good notes on what he says, then the tests are a easy A. I missed a total of 3 questions on all tests in that class, and that's just because I took good notes. Really pay attention to what he says and write it down!

Comment:
This is one of my favorite professors ever. Very nice guy, and funny. Some people didn't like his classes because of the subject matter, but blamed him for their disinterest and lack of studying. His exams are a breeze if you do exactly as he says. He repeats himself many times in lecture, so there is no excuse to not "get" anything.

Another teacher that gets a bad rep because people are lazy and don't like plants. You have to be interested in plants and drink coffee to appreciate his classes. He is very clear and extremely helpful outside of class.

He came in for the Anatomy portion of this class. Clear, boring- unless you find plants exciting. Changed my mind about him when he yelled at the class one day, screaming "Dammit! Shut Up!". Lacks respect for students.
