Dr Aquilani takes his time and effort to clearly explain the subject. He is easy to talk to, hilarious and really cares about his students progress. Hes hands on and helps in every aspect of biology. He makes sure you understands the material and even offers help during office hour for class questions and advising.

Comment:

I got an A in both Bio 1&2 with him, but they were both the hardest classes I've ever taken. So much material is covered in depth. Tests are all essays. Be on time and be prepared for non stop note taking. He is tough, but is really passionate about biology.

Comment:

The class was difficult and there was a lot of hard material to learn but he was very good at explaining it in a way to help us understand it. If you aren't determined, you will not succeed. You aren't graded on attendance, but I suggest you go to class in case he adds onto the notes and tells you what material will be an essay on the test.

Comment:

Dr. Aquilani cultivated my newfound appreciation for one of my least favorite sciences. His teaching style is straightforward; pay attention+review the material. I recommend you print out his powerpoints before class and write down what he says in the margins, especially if he writes it on the board. Also, laugh at his jokes so he doesn't feel bad!

Comment:

Took his Botany course- he gets stuck on some particular phrases, and he doesn't really use the textbook, but the course is really intuitive and deliberately set up so that he can adjust for students' interest. We did a stream study on campus just because! Very laid back and respectful, is easy to talk into teaching class outside in the spring.

Hard class, lots of material to learn, but really awesome teacher!! As long as you show up to class and study you should pass. He tells you what's on the tests/ practicals and you get points if you show basic understanding. I'm not a "bio geek" but I'd definitely take him again.

He's a great teacher. He's a pretty sneaky teacher and some mini pop test were hard. He gives long study guides but some test were only about 10-15 so I was overwhelmed with the study guide. He's big on essay question they make up about most of the test! But if you read and ask lost of questions he's there to help!!! Good luck

Comment:

"Here's the rub" He's a very good professor, he knows what he's talking about and wants to make sure you know what he's talking about. Tests are all essay format, but during his lectures he literally hints to what the questions are going to be. Go to class and take good notes, you'll be fine. No textbook needed. Lab practicals were the hardest part

Professor Aquilani is very intelligent; I don't understand anything that comes out of his mouth. I did not rely on his notes. I only survived this class because I found an awesome website online by some professor who was teaching the same subjects. I will get an A in this class but not because of the lectures of Professor Aquilani.

Comment:

I wonder if I would ever have a good teacher like him.He was very helpful and clear. you did not need to go through the book if you attended his class regularly, and the lecture was clear that you could easily imagine how tests would look like. I would recommend this teacher to any student taking bio at DCCC

Comment:

I wouldn't consider him hard, as I got 2 A's, but, as others noted, his tests are all essay questions. His notes are all in powerpoint format, that you can print out, and he is very thorough in his lectures. As long as you take good notes as an addendum to the powerpoint notes, you shouldn't have any problems. Studying is a must. Great Professor!

He's a nice guy, but his tests are all essay and extremely difficult. Make sure you have a lot of time to commit to studying. Also, he's hot, so that's a plus.

Comment:

He is a very engaging professor who takes the time to break things down to the simplest level and then builds from there. His essay tests are difficult but if you take great notes and study them you will be fine. DO NOT BUY THE BOOK, everything you need to know he tells you so make sure you don't miss a class or a lab!
