Comment:

Listen to me, if you have to take him DO EVERY EXTRA CREDIT. It can be the difference in passing or failing. Show up to every class and dont miss any quizzes - they are extra credit but they really add up a lot if you study for them and do well. He does not give reviews before the exams/final.. pay attention in class and read EVERY chapter.

I regret taking this in the summer. Being that this class was 8 weeks, the professor was really hard and if you do not study, you won't pass. There were no review sheets to study from. Pop quizzes are given along with extra credits... What made this class even more difficult was that the textbook had mistakes that he even pointed out.

Comment:

He's a tough cookie, but not impossible. Gives lots of extra credit, only worth a couple of points to your overall grade and they're work, but it definitely adds to your grade at the end. He gives a few pop quizzes, so study material from class. Gives EXTENSIVE reviews before tests but mostly goes off that for tests. He gives all materials to pass

Professor Wieraszko is really not as bad as he's made out to be. Attendance isn't mandatory BUT you definitely will not pass if you skip class. Quizzes/tests are all from lectures/what he says in class, so pay attention. Tough grader, but gives a lot of extra credit and chances to boost your grade. Would take again.

Comment:

This professor isnt as bad as everyone is making him seem- yes his accent is heavy and yes he is particular and gives lab reports every week, also expect to be in lab for the full 3hrs. But his quizzes are legit straight from the lab book- if you study that your golden and he tells you EXACTLY what to study, if you dont mind doing the work take him

I never hated Bio until i took this prof. Definitely made my life a living hell. His exams were harder than the departmental final itself. i would definitely not recommend this professor. STAY AWAY FROM HIM. Not understanding at all. Made me second guess my major.

Comment:

You would assume the professor would grade easier in the summer, clearly I was wrong. Multiple lab reports are given, quizzes are like tests and the grading seems unfair. Difficult to understand. For a 1 credit class, it's definitely a lot of work.

LAB. Honestly, what is going on? Students are failing quizes in his class. Unsure what to do. One student walked out. Hours of studying and memorizing with no time to spend on your actual lecture class. Tests you on info not covered in class. No Outline. Extreme. Intensely Particular. Not Clear. A bad situation.

Comment:

Never felt so hopeless before in a college class. Very Extreme for a 1 credit LAB class. There needs to be some type of adjustment when people at your lab table are failing quizzes and are unsure if they are going to pass. With hours of energy and time needed to be spent on LAB, rather than lecture class. Something very wrong with this picture.

Comment:

Many of us study and hope to get by in the sciences towards our careers. This professor must have lowered his own standards and should be teaching BIO GRAD school. Avoid his class for LAB. Quizes are like major exams. Intense memorizing. Adds material not covered in class. Not clear. Reports. Forced to go above and beyond for 1 credit is absurd.

Comment:

If you complain about the work and effort you must put into this class then do not go into the medical field. I do NOT want you as my nurse or whatever else you are going to school for. He is brilliant. I have learned so much being in his class. Def do the EC. EC helps a lot and is relevant to the material you need to learn. Would take again.

Gives a lot of extra credit so do it from the start, it helps you in the end. Attendance does not count at all. Tests are very tough! Questions are hard to understand and very difficult. I would absolutely not take this professor again. Only thing that saved me was the final and the lab.

Comment:

He is a great professor & is a genious. He just reads off picture slides. You need to spend many hours reading the textbook to do well. He also gives pop quizes that are extra credit & also gives around 20 points extra credit from his assignments. Definitely not an easy 'A' but if you put in the work you will do fine.

Comment:

The person below said not to take his class if you're planning to get into the nursing program because he is a tough grader. Well, if you cant pass his class, forget about the nursing program. BIO 150 is a joke compared to NRS 110 and 120. And he does give you full credit for the extra credit assignments if you follow the guidelines.

Honestly if you plan on getting into the nursing program do NOT take his class. You will fail and you wont be able to get into the program if you retake it. Hes a really tough grader. His tests are really hard. He claims to give extra credit but he barely gives u credit for them. Do not take him!!

Comment:

Prof Weiraszko is a very knowledgeable teacher.. sometimes explains things further than the textbook which makes lectures harder to follow. Although tough, he is fair because he gives generous amount of extra credit. This is my second time taking him and I'm sure to get an A. Studying for his class is a MUST!!!
