Review #1 / Course: BIOL 4001 / Instructor: LICATA V
The class requires commitment. LiCata expects you to know the material. He is impatient and generally unhelpful, but he was fair.

Review #2 / Course: BIOL 4093 / Instructor: LICATA V
Licata is a very good lecturer/teacher, but he can be arrogant at times. You ask him a question and he makes you feel very stupid. Other than that its not a bad class, it was very interesting. He's funny too.

Very tough teacher, a little arrogant, and a VERY tough class. Very tricky questions on test and lots of short answer and essay. Be prepared to Study.

Review #4 / Course: BIOL 4093 / Instructor: LICATA V
I was actually interested in much of the material, but the way in which it was presented made sitting through class nearly unbearable; read the chapters OVER and OVER, Licata is unapproachable and sarcastic and WON'T answer questions..very hard tests

Review #5 / Course: BIOL 4093 / Instructor: LICATA V
Avoid Licata as much as possible. His exams do not reflect what he teaches, he's very bad at handing back any submitted work, including exams, and he is not at all concerned with the welfare of his students. He's a researcher not a teacher!

Review #9 / Course: BIOL 4001 / Instructor: LICATA V
This is the toughest course in my major, but the fact that Dr. Licata made it to where everything in this subject was significant to my major (and not just general) was awesome.
