Comment:

First professor at UCF worth raving about on here. He provides notes on Webcourses that underlines the terms needed to know for his tests so buying/renting a book isn't necessary. Make flashcards, study them, and it should be an easy A. He keeps lectures interesting with pop quizzes and jokes. He really lives up to all the positive reviews though!

Comment:

He makes lots of jokes every lecture which is nice since most other professors dont have a personality. The tests are not hard, however, you must memorize everything from his power points. Yes a different teacher may have an easier class, however, Frank is still the best professor I have taken at UCF.

Comment:

One of the best teachers in the BIO department. His notes are very clear, and his lectures are both interesting and informative. (he's sad if you skip, so please go D:) Difficulty-wise, this class is work-heavy (as hard as human anatomy), but fairly straightforward. Just make note cards/cadaver diagrams and don't wait until the last minute.

110% for personality, however he makes the class SO hard. Much harder than need be. I feel as though his major goal is to prepare students for vet school, and that's why he makes it so difficult, but NOT everyone wants to be a vet!! If you are not pre-vet, then take with someone else!!!

Comment:

Frank is the best prof at UCF. He is clear and concise and presents information in a simple, yet eloquent manner in a pure lecture style. Cares about students, but suffers no fools. Only grades on tests and goes fast, but so does vet school, so get used to not being babied. Gives plenty of support, but Frank helps those who help themselves.

Comment:

Frank is the best professor I have ever taken at UCF, period. His lectures were extremely entertaining and even though class wasn't mandatory, he made me want to go. 3 fill in the blank exams is all your grade is, but his tests come straight from the lecture material and notes he posts online. Study a Quizlet a few times over, you will be fine.

Comment:

A very solid choice. Tests are free response, but the notes are for the most part very clear about what you need to know (and are so thorough you don't need the textbook), and Frank does a really good job of making the information interesting enough to look at on your own time. Just make sure to take the class seriously, and you'll get an A.

Comment:

Honestly, one of the best professor at the Biology department. He likes to be funny and sarcastic, but he really does have a sweet spot for his students. He's a super nerd about biology too, and it shows during lecture. Of course, CVA is a difficult class regardless, so best be ready to study hardcore to pass.

One of the toughest classes you will take at UCF, but if you put in the time and communicate with Frank you will do well! Tests are straight forward and come straight from the notes that he posts.

Comment:

This class was a fairly easy class, but the professor does not make it easy for you to get an A. Even with constant studying, the tests being all fill in the blank, T/F, or short answer it's so frustrating yet easy to feel like your hard work was not valuable. Mainly because YOUR GRADE IS ONLY CONSISTED OF THREE EXAMS and that is it. Worst format!

Frank is the best! He is genuinely interested in your work and wants you to succeed. This class was so cool- you got the opportunity to conduct independent research at the Central Florida Zoo. I would highly recommend this course anyways, but Frank makes it that much better!

Comment:

I understand this is a 4000 level class and its not suppose to be easy, but this class was ridiculous. Lectures are him reading directly from the notes, that luckily he gives to you cuz he goes fast. Only 3 tests with 200+ terms each, all fill in the blank with no word bank and spelling counts. With those 3 tests being the ONLY grades. NOPE!

Frank is hilarious, go to class and experience it. The tests are hard but do-able if you don't wait till the day before to study like me. They are all fill in the blank. He doesn't mind answering questions and definately go to his office hour if you are unsure about anything or don't know about your life. I would recommend taking a class with him.

I had Frank for my last semester, and it was great. The class was informative and interesting. Learned a lot without any "busy work" assignments. He also really cares about his students. He helped me with some cover letters later which helped me get the internship of my dreams. Overall he's a nice guy who definitely wants his students to succeed.

This was my second class with Frank, and I am taking one more in the spring. He is super willing to help his students. Hilarious in lecture, makes them funny so that students don't get bored. He picks on people but that is just his humor! Don't know why anyone gets so offended. Make flashcards for concepts from the lecture notes and you'll do great

CLASS: very easy consists of memorization. Hes straightforward and doesnt try to trick you on the tests. Lectures are him reading a set of notes which he has online he is a good dude efinitely cares about the students. picked on to many students though? Guess he got in trouble through upper management so he will be nicer, i recommend him now!!!

Comment:

Frank is one of my favorite professors at UCF! He scales the difficulty of his classes, so a 2000 level class with him will be easier than a 4000 level class. I have no trouble sitting through his lectures, because they're so informational and funny. Just don't miss class! He won't post his lectures notes if too many people are absent.
