Professor Torok is just amazing, passionate about what he teaches, he is very involved and will help you if you have questions. there is tons of quizzes, but its all to get you ready for the exam. take notes, listen closely, study hard and pass the quizzes, most likely you will pass the class. 3x5 card.

Professor Torok is great! Im just about finished with his summer bio 111 class and I absolutely love it. Professor Torok really loves what he does and it shows. His lectures are interesting. There are a lot of quizzes but they really help prepare you for exams. Come to class, take good notes, read the chapter, and you will do just fine.

He's a great teacher. He really knows what he's talking about and you can tell he loves what he's doing. Plus, he lets you drop your lowest test score (always a plus).

Comment:

There was alot of material that was very difficult. You have to keep up on the reading and get a study group. He explains the subject very clearly if you pay attention and he lets you print his lecture outlines. I found that if I hand drew diagrams that helped out alot too. Warning, he doesn't like slackers.

Mr. Torok is AWESOME! His students take top priority and is available to help at any time! Lectures were interesting and I like the stories! He allows cheat sheets and they help tremendously! I recommend this professor to anyone who asks about Biology...too bad he isn't teaching right now!

Comment:

torok is a great teacher, but he lectures on a lot of irrelevent things. He will go off telling a story and then the class gets far behind in lecture. Overall, he is very nic but you have to work hard and study! For the final, reveiw all previous tests and you will do great!

Made bio a lot of fun. He enjoys and has a passion for what he does. Very helpful. Really cares for his students. I never read out of the book and failed all the test but still managed a C in the class with just turning in the homework. If you actually try, and READ it'll be real simple. Awesome pro

Comment:

lectures very thoroughly. be prepared to turn into a robot & memorize most of the point by point concepts. labs = fun & correspond w/ lecture. he listens to student questions & responds to them scientifically w/o talking down to the student.
