I can say with total sincerity that he is the best professor I've had at this school yet! There's no textbook, the exams are exactly what is covered in class. I learned the most, went to every class, and got the grade I wanted. He's funny and really smart. HIGHLY RECOMMENDEDANAT345 2008-06-29 01:15:56 +0000 UTC
By far one of my favorite teachers. I had Professor Meszoely for Vertebrate Zoology and he is a sweet man who wants his students to do well. If you attend class and take good notes you will be fine. The lab is another story, be prepared to set aside an entire day to study for a practical. This class entails a great deal of memorization.BIOU317 2008-04-16 14:13:36 +0000 UTC
Dr. Meszoely is a funny guy. His hungarian accent is great and he makes the corniest jokes you've ever heard. If he wasnt such a cute old man he might be considered kinda creepy because sometimes his jokes are a little risque. All in all... DONT miss out on taking a class with this teacher. Comparative was pretty easy, dont know about his others.COMPARATIVE 2006-04-20 09:22:10 +0000 UTC
One of the best professors ever had at Northeastern! He's awesome, makes the class fun, and his exams are hand-written from years ago. He's awesome! Def take him for your advanced bio electivesVERTEBRATEZOO 2005-09-09 19:15:52 +0000 UTC

Funny, helpful, respectful, makes what would be a challenging course very easyCOMPARATIV 2003-08-23 12:38:59 +0000 UTC
Took Herpetology with him. Wonderful man. Super easy class. He's funny and very nice. Not the most PC. He tells stories constantly. Taking Parasitology this semester just so I can have him again.BIOL5561 2011-05-09 22:19:19 +0000 UTC
Needs to retire. A nice guy, but not very detailed or rigorous in class. Skipped over entire sections of the syllabus. Lab is tough, but rewarding if you study. Lab grade s three practicals, and that is all. Study up.VERTZOO 2008-04-29 18:20:18 +0000 UTC
