Funny lectures, grades on a curve, semi-easy quizzes. Test are a bit more hard but all questions are taken from the quizzes. A few main projects but nothing too difficult. Lab is easy and usually finished within an hour if you work with your table. He's real easy going and gives you lots of extra credit opportunities.

Super great guy, really nice! Beware though: LOTS OF HOMEWORK! All quizzes are online, so that's a plus. Tests are hard-ish, he does provide study guides- USE THEM! Overall, super nice guy, do the work and do the extra credit and you'll be fine. Also, you'll fail the lab practical, but everyone does. TAKE HIM!!! He's awesome.

Professor Vallejo is a great guy I had him for biology Mo1, and his class is very easy. You take all of your quizzes at home online, and you have three in class exams through out the year. He gives you study guides for these exams which are very helpful. He gives you enough extra credit to raise your grade a full letter. Best teacher I've ever had

Vallejo is an awesome professor! Biology isnt necessarily an easy course to take, but hell ensure your experience is filled with lots of enjoyable humor. Online quizes can be studied on quizlet prior to taking them. His exams are a little tough, however study his quizlets and do the zoo extra credit project and you can easily get an A or B!

GREAT PROFESSOR!!!!!!There are 3 exams first 2 I should've studied harder for. The last one we just took was the same as the first two. All you need to do is study hard. Hes a funny & caring professor. There are quizlet guides that he provides, take advantage of those and you will pass. Would take again and if I ever did I would study even harder.

Loved this professor, not a show up to pass class, but he made it so easy to get an A. You have the entire semester to do extracredits adding 10% to your grade plus many given out throughout the semester. Just show up regularly, study the Quizlet sets, skim the lecture notes, and do the extracredit and you will get an A. Ask him if your not sure.

Vallejo is a GREAT professor. Of course, this is a bio class so there is obviously work. There are 3 exams, the last one being the final. First one was super easy, last two you had to study a little harder. If you do the work and you study you will pass. He is hilarious and he truly cares about your grade. Don't take his class for granted!

Just take him. Honestly, trust me. Mr. Vallejo's class is such a joy. Never have I felt the need to skip the class or complain about wanting to leave. Mr. Vallejo is very caring, optimistic, and easy going. His lectures are very enjoyable with many jokes! His labs are not difficult, if you ever have a question, he'll be happy to answer. RECOMMEND.

He is super cool and funny. His teaching methods are great and he uses a lot of funny stories to relate to lectures so students can get a better understanding and it works. He sets up very useful study guides and he really wants his students to pass. He offers a recommendation letter at the end. Just show up and you'll pass. Easy class.

One of my favorite teachers, i took him for Into to Bio at Moorpark and I defiantly deserved an F, I only passed the labs and he gave me a B. I participated in class the whole time, never missed a lab and he saw how hard i tried. Such a nice guy, really funny, even offers you a letter of recommendation!

He is a bit hard to get a hold of via email, but other than that, this class was easy. He provides a LOT of extra credit so if you do it there shouldn't be a reason you don't pass. Rarely used the book, but study the online quizzes and you will pass.

He gives a lot of quizzes but they are online and the answers are also online and in the lectures available on his D2L, once I figured this out I didn't pay attention in class again. The tests are based off of those quiz questions and if you study that you'll get an A. Super easy but soooo boring.

Hurry up and get your seat. This class will fill up fast. He was easy because he knows how to teach. He could teach a door knob Biology. Really kind and loving guy. Helpful and wants you to succeed. Have fun. Start drying your leave pronto. You can get an A in this Bio class if you are willing to study. It's all on Quizlet, he doesn't try & trick u
