Comment:
Professor Soto does not take attendance but in order to get the notes you have to go to class since he doesnt post them on BB until a few days before exam. Gives 2 extra credit assignments. Lectures tend to get off topic. He gives you 10 answers to the exam questions on the test. 10/10 would take again.

Comment:
He's the worst ever. He is never available and doesn't answer his email. He does not take the time to make sure his exams cover what he taught in class. He seems lazy and does not really try. It looks like he's just here to do the minimum without serving the needs of his students.

Comment:
I was honestly surprised to find out I had gotten a B considering the amount of work I put into the class. I know if I had put in more effort into the class, I could have easily gotten an A. The times I went to class definitely helped, and the material he covered was usually on the tests. The powerpoints contain maybe half of the test material.

His lectures are not always exciting but being there will greatly improve your test grades. His tests are right out of the lectures and notes, often he tells you the questions he is going to put on the tests with the correct answer.

Take your tests in Soto's class and you will pass.. As long as you study for the tests you will be fine. He bumps everyones grades up at the end of the semester too. No one goes to class except for test days. He is pretty chill too.

His lectures are long, but he keeps the students as part of it. He asks questions and lets people talk about certain subjects. His tests are what he talks about and from the powerpoints, they are not hard AT ALL. Not a hard class to pass at all. I had him for bio 1 and bio 2. Go to recitation, exams are based off quizes you take in there also

Do not take this teacher. Risk a low deep in your GPA. He acts like he has a point to prove. Not helpful and will fail you. Not recommended for anyone who wants to succeed. Take another teacher that will help you achieve your goal!!!

Don't take him! His tests covers only half the lecture and half are irrelevant questions! He does curve up some, but not all grades. Overall, don't take him if your grade is really important.

Didn't go to class. Just recitation. He spent a month discussing the basics and expected everyone to know everything else. Just there for a pay check.

You have to go to lecture to know what will be on the exams. He will ask the most random questions. Study the powerpoints as well. Over all if you attend lecture and take REALLY good notes and study hard then you should be fine.

Comment:
BIO 1 was interesting with Soto because he makes several sexual references throughout the semester. He reads off powerpoints and seems bored at times. He gives plenty curves at the end of the semester. DO THE APLIA! It can raise your grade by a whole letter! Overall farely easy if you study the powerpoints as all test questions are from there!

Took him for parasitology very intresting class. It just requires one to study what you go over in class and you should be able to pull a B. The Lab is fun and easy as well.
