Comment:

Corotto is a great teacher! His class is definitely a challenge. He grades based off of a point system and you have to keep up with your own grade. He gives lecture outlines so you can follow along with the lecture. Also, there are exam study guides for 3 of the 4 lecture exams. You have to come into this class ready to listen or you have no chance

Comment:

Doctor Corotto is extremely smart, and I think that is why it is hard for him to teach this entry level science major bio class. He does not explain things well and goes over the power points very fast, and if you ask questions he often laughs and says things like "well you should already know that" instead of explaining. Would not take again.

Comment:

Corotto is a pretty cool guy, but his class is definitely hard. A lot of the time, I didn't really understand what was being covered in lecture, but the guided notes he gives out make it really easy to learn if you're willing to study. He gives out study guides for his tests, so make sure your know everything on there, and you'll do pretty well.

Comment:

He made 1107k bearable considering its going to be hard material no matter what. He is a little scatter brained only because he's so excited about what he's talking about. He gives lecture outlines to fill out, which is a blessing. He also provides a study guide for his tests. If you study over the lecture everyday, and really learn, it is fine.

Comment:

Dr. Corotto is a really nice guy and he knows his material. He gives lecture outlines and he goes by them. I thought the class would be a little easier with those outlines but the tests are hard so be extra prepared when taking them. I only used the Biology book as a reference to certain diagrams that he would go over in class.

Absolutely love corotto! His lectures can be long but he really tries to make them fun. He is very straightforward with grading. Go to class, take notes, record the lectures. Then memorize EVERYTHING on the outlines. This class really challenges how much you can memorize. If you can memorize very well you should make nothing less than an A.

Decent teacher, but has an annoying style. I couldn't understand 90% of what he was talking about during class. Then I would go watch a khanacademy video and immediately understand.

Dr. Corotto is a great professor. He really loves cell biology! The lectures could be mundane sometimes, but not always. Come to class, listen, fill in the lecture outline, read the chapter (not required, but reading the chapter helped clarify some areas for me), and study! The tests are not bad if you study!!

Comment:

Dr. C is a HOOT. A brilliant owl, I might add. He is passionate about cellular biology and physiology and sees the value in visual learning-for example, acting out flagellar movements with his entire body. He is thoroughly enjoyable and VERY hot! Have you seen him jogging around town? There is some major tonage under those oxfords. Phew.

Dr C is a great teacher. Don't expect an easy class because let's face it Cell Biology is not a piece of cake, but if you study hard and keep up with his notes you will do good. I used the book a lot and it helped me tons.

Comment:

Incompetent. Can barely answer any question. Most common word he uses is "somehow." He knows his field of study, but is no good for general biology courses. In lab gives his own handout which does not even go together with what's in the lab.

Comment:

Dr. Corotto is a very good teacher, but he is hard. Print out his outlines & take notes during the lecture. He doesn't use the book regularly, we had one short chapter to read & answer questions on. He seems willing to help if you take the time to ask him. Overall, he is an extremely good teacher, probably one of the best I've had.

Comment:

Dr. C is one of the greatest bio teachers at NGCSU! If you want an easy A, don't take him as he will make you work for the A. If you follow the outlines, actually show up on time, and pay attention you'll be fine. He is clear in classroom teaching, but he really excels during his office hours, so don't be afraid to go ask any questions you have!

Comment:

Good teacher, funny (if a little frantic) and loves biology (even though physiology is his specialty). He gives the outlines and if you look over your notes you should be fine. He is old school and expects that students show basic respect don't eat in class, don't be late, etc. He is a little hard to read in his mood sometimes but don't be put off!

Dr. Corotto is a VERY good teacher. He gives you outlines of his notes so you can easily follow along with his lecture. I took my own notes during class and went back and filled out his outlines to make sure I understood that days lecture. Over all he is a very good teacher just go to class and you will be fine!

Comment:

Great teacher, his tests are fairly difficult but if you use the lecture outlines (some people swear by them but I never used them) and use the study guides he provides, you should get a C or B on every test. He's very available and absolutely hilarious. If you like him in 1107 definitely take him for 1108! He pampers you in lab for both.

Comment:

Corotto was not a helpful teacher at all. If you like to get made fun of and laughed at you can ask him questions. If you still decide to ask a question, don't expect an answer that will be to your advantage. He never cared to help out at all, and he made fun of me a lot. Along with other students. Its not helpful.

I love Dr. Corotto! I wish I could've had him for 1108! He teaches to the lecture outlines provided and if you study, then the tests aren't tricky. He is funny and interesting! Labs are easy and quick!
