Comment:

Difficult course, but Gazal is great. It is extremely important that you read the textbook outside of class. He truly cares about his students and wants them to reach their full potential in this course. Do not skip class!!! There will be about 5 days that he will give 5-10 EC points for showing up, also gives EC for answering questions in class.

Comment:

I took this class in online and it was extremely difficult. he did not provide lectures only the textbook and a few slideshows, with very little information that was actually on the test. this class goes extremely in depth, more than a 100level should. the prof is no help and rude so dont even bother asking.

Comment:

Took the class online that had a mandatory lab day set on a Saturday. There was a lot of extra bonus points. This class is not for slackers who are looking for an easy A. The exams were pretty hard and long. It is set between 3-4 hours and I always used up the time. I did not use the book and did just fine if you know where to look online.

Comment:

Dr. Gazal is a very good professor. I honestly don't understand the poor ratings that I am seeing. I think it's very harsh. Let me tell you something. The course is difficult but you can't do anything worse than a B because there are so many bonus points. Don't skip class. otherwise, you will miss out on attendance bonuses.

Makes things very complicated although the class is clear. Very difficult to understand his accent. No clear way of grading especially on essay part of the exam. The lab was confusing not well organized.

Comment:

This class was great, I mean A & P classes are expected to be quite difficult but that is not the professor's fault. He did quite well at teaching the large amount of material as well as he could since we only had class twice a week. Gazal used many quizzes to give you extra credit which were vital to doing well in the class. Exams 100+ Q & easy

This online class was a teach your self or you'll fail. Even when reading lecture, the book, and doing the study guides, the test were still VERY difficult. I would not recommend this class with Gazal EVER!

Comment:

These AP classes are very difficult. There is a lot of information you NEED to retain to spit out for the exams. Do EVERY quiz! Each quiz and exam has extra credit attached vital to obtain a decent grade. Read the slides, but take your own notes. The questions on the quizzes will appear on the exam. Know how to answer everything on the exam review.

Comment:

He posts the slides on D2L and whatever he doesn't feel like covering in class he'll make you read on your own and that will be the material on the exam. Changes exams, says you'll be tested on one thing and you're tested on another. Got screwed on every exam. Get ready to memorize the smallest of details, every system, function, & protein involved

Comment:

He tries to be funny in class to get us to not think too badly of him, but only does so because he knows that students think he rude-which he is. He is borderline unprofessional with some of jabs and comments that he makes. Tests are on the long side, but doable. Quizzes come by surprise and are worth much more points than they should be.

Comment:

This class makes me laugh at times... It shouldn't come as a shocker in a 400 level biology class when there are tests with 100+ questions on there. Read and pay attention and you should be fine. However... he will shut you down in class for trying to ask questions about the lecture. Also, total points of pop quizes will be equivalent to a test.

Comment:

He is a good professor. Gave lots of extra credit which helped me a lot. During the one lab that we had, it was a bit unorganized but it wasn't his fault, his TAs weren't the best. His slideshows really helped with breaking down each section of each chapter. But you are going to have to read the book.
