Review #3 / Course: SOCL 2201 / Instructor: BISCIGLIA M
It's a statistics class, its not fun, but I loved Bisciglia! Take him before your real Stats class and it'll be a breeze...he cares about you, spoon feeds you the info, you'll actually enjoy it:)

Bisciglia is a great teacher. He made statistics as easy as it can be. If you have to take the class take him.

BISCIGLIA should be the ONLY Prof. you choose to take for STATISTICS!! He Spoon-Feeds it to you! It's basically an Algebra/Geometry Class. Going to class is a MUST, because Copying STAT. class notes/outlines are confusing! But Biscglia makes it EASY!

Review #6 / Course: SOCL 2001 / Instructor: BISCIGLIA M
Bisciglia is an ok guy, understands his students, grading scale is fair, 3 heavy tests, 6 quizzes, and a final, You can memorize everything he says in class and still get a B, you have to read the cahpters in the book to have a chance of making an A.

Review #7 / Course: SOCL 2001 / Instructor: BISCIGLIA M
M. BISCIGLIA made fun, useful material seem very Boring & Analytical, even for a SOCL Major. GET READY TO WRITE THE WHOLE CLASS! And although he seems Gay, he always try to include his straight Sex life in his lectures, which is Highly Unappropriate!

Review #9 / Course: SOCL 2201 / Instructor: BISCIGLIA M
This was an easy class. Mike did examples of every type of problem that would be on the tests and quizes. And you get to drop a test grade, so I didn't have to take the final.

Review #10 / Course: SOCL 2001 / Instructor: BISCIGLIA M
The class material should have been interesting, but Bisciglia is a complete anal, power-tripping, non-objective jerk. The text was also very slanted. Bad mix.

Review #11 / Course: SOCL 2001 / Instructor: BISCIGLIA M
I wish all teachers at LSU could have Michaels attitude. He is an excellent teacher and extremely fair to all students. Material was not hard to learn, just alot of notes. Final exam was just like a regular test. Had 4 quizzes and he dropped one.

Review #13 / Course: SOCL 2001 / Instructor: BISCIGLIA M
His lissssssp is distracting, but once you get past that and his funny shaped head, he might be an alright guy. He's kinda anal though. The subject matter shouldn't be hard to test on, he makes it like everyone in his class is a sociology major

Review #15 / Course: SOCL 2001 / Instructor: BISCIGLIA M
The class was interesting, but it was a bunch of lecture notes. If you have trouble with a class that is straight lecture, then don't take him.

He takes attendance!!!! Also some of his quiz and test questions come out of nowhere, definitely not his lectures. No final though, which is cool.
