Review #1 / Course: BIOL 3090 / Instructor: DIMARIO P
Dr. DiMario is really nice and really tries to help his students; his tests are very fair and he has a review on the material the day before so its pretty easy to tell what he wants you to know.

Review #2 / Course: BIOL 3090 / Instructor: DIMARIO P
Cell bio is so boring. It's not scientific, it's just a waste of time. Dimario really likes it though, I'm not sure why, but it's not hard to get an A with him, just study a bit.

This class was pretty cut and dry. Dimario is a nice guy, but he is so boring. The lecture material is very tedious at times.

Get the notes from someone who already took the class and you never have to go, just study for the test a day or two before and you will make an A.

Dr. Dimaro speaks really clearly and slowly. He sells his notes, and are worth buying. His tests are a little tough, but he cares about his students.

Dimario gives you an outline of notes at the beginning of the semester, therefore it is very easy to follow and understand.
