Goes very fast with notes, go to class, tests are confusing, get another prof!!!
moves quick, but if you stop whining long enough to listen you'll be fine
Moves very fast, doesn't know material (ask about the gluteus maximus)
moves fast, and doesn't know or explain material
No Comments
toilet humor is very tiresome, moves quickly through material, tests challenging
if you go to class and actually listen, youll be ok...trust me!
NICE GUY, BUT DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO TEACH. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SOME ELSE FOR LAB.
Lectures are boring; test questions are worded poorly; very unhelpful
jumped around, but if you go to class and listen to him you will be fine, also o
Really nice and funny but doenst really know what he is talking about
nice guy, does not explain well, never know what will be on quizzes
No Comments
Full of incorrect information.
He needs to get his info straight, but is willing to help and is very friendly.
Nice guy, quizzes are hard but he doesn't make them class is alright
No Comments
He is really willing to help you and a very nice guy!
control freak - compromises students' well-being for his own ego.
AWFUL! Worst Lab teacher ever, doesn't follow lecture what so ever. Do not take!
Not the sharpest tool in the shed, but thinks he is.
Horrible! Lazy! And doesn't know his info!
nice guy, very layed back and easy going. this tests are easy if you study
Very nice guy, hes very helpful, and the class is easy!
I do not wish for my worst enemy to sit thru this garbage
He does not know his info! He makes sexual jokes repeatedly as if they are funny. He talks down to you like you are 10 years old. Do not take him for lab- he doesn't follow the plan anyways. DO NOT TAKE HIM.
Boring lectures...boring prof...
This was a great class. Did not even have to show up except for on exam days. It was a work on your own class. If I had a ? then he was there to help. great class.
Didn't even teach, just handed out quizes and expected to get paid for that. The class is all memorization, no actual learning.
It was an easy class. You dont have to go except for exams. Quizzes every week but you can be exempt if you get a good grade on the exams.
Love this class. Show up for quiz, finish quiz - leave. Show up for exam, 87% or better - leave and don't come back until next exam. If you read the terminology book, you'll pass with an easy A.
Nicest guy, just doesn't really know what he is talking about. He messes up what he is saying and doesn't even know it. Basically you have to study from the guide.
If he had to take the exams, I doubt he'd pass. He has no idea what he is talking about!
DID NOT TEACH ONE BIT! JUST HANDED OUT QUIZZES THAT REQUIRED YOU TO MEMORIZE ABOUT 1000 WORDS. THIS CLASS SUCKS AND YOU DONT LEARN A SINGLE THING!
Great teacher, nice guy. I thought this was an incredibly helpful but easy class.

Will tell you what will be on the quiz...if you ask him. He is willing to help, and is very sweet, but he gets confused and will sometimes tell you the wrong answer. If he had to take the midterm and final...the results would be interesting.
He's a great lab teacher. He's funny and helpful. He returns things on time. I recommend him.
Very funny! Made the lab fun. Take his class if you get the chance
Easy A, thats pretty much it, there's no learning or anything substantive in the class, just show up and get your A. Still don't remember anything from the class.
Easy class, show up for a quiz every week and leave. As long as you look at the terms before the quizzes its an easy A
Helpful to work with and will explain answers to questions asked in class.
He is the worse professor i have had so far. He just talks in the lectures he doesnt teach. But if you have to take HS 202 take it with Atef Hanna instead, better professor, Hanna test scores were 20 points higher than Garcias. Garcia couldnt pass his own class. If you want a class from hell takehis
The exams were tough. I learned a lot. I had him for Lab as well. He was very helpful in there. He wants his students to succed but he makes you work for it a bit. All together it was a good learning experience.
This guy is hard, but he knows what he's doing.
For lab, he's pretty good, however for lecture, he really sucks. Get Hanna if you can.
i am among the group of A&P people that got screwed over halfway through the semester...we had a fabulous professor, ATEF HANNA, but then got garcia...its not that hes a horrible prof, but he has SUCH a different teaching style. dont take this class if you can avoid it.
Doesnt lecture...you just need to show up for the quiz or test every week. If you get 87% or higher on a test, you dont need to come and take quizzes until the next class. Pretty easy class, even though it takes some time and effort to go over all the material by yourself.
Ok, nice man, but has no idea what he is talking about. I would not recommend him. I was another unfortunate soul who got screwed over, Hanna had to leave half way through the semester so we got stuck with Garcia. Get Hanna if you can!!
Very nice guy, really cares about his students and their learning. Class is so easy, just take a quiz every week and read the study guide on your own. LOTS of words to learn but not hard stuff. I'd recommend him for anything.
Cool guy but doesn't always seem to know what he is talking about.
This class was really hard for me, especially never having taken an Anatomy class. The tests were very hard and unclear. The lectures weren't the best, he'd sometime get off topic and go on tangents. He was a really nice guy; very helpful. Just the class was very confusing. A lot of info was covered
I had Garcia for lab and lecture. He was great in lab, very helpful and took time to make sure you clearly understood the topic. In lecture he would go off the subject and tell stories. He also got his powerpoints screwed up in lecture, so that made it confusing. Otherwise great class, but you do need to study!
Very easy class and great professor. He is very funny. For the class, the easiest way to do weel is to keep up on the book work. Flash cards are not even necessary if you go along with the fill in the blank book. Be warned, he does ask questions that are in the reading, not just about the words from the word list at the beginning of each chapter.
I honestly don't have an opinion one way or another about Garcia because I never saw the guy. The class is all self taught. It isn't a bad thing unless you are struggling. Don't take the class unless you can devote at least an hour each night to the homework. If you don't you won't get a good grade.
Had Garcia for Lecture, and was surprised at how easy his exams were...as long as you study. If you've taken an Anatomy course before, you should get at LEAST a B+, if you haven't then you'll just need to pay closer attention to his powerpoints. Final exam is split into two parts, and fairly easy (not cummulative)
Disliked this class... You need to study... but Garcia is a scatterbrain... He would send you copies of the powerpoint and then change them after the fact... when you showed up for class slides had been added or removed, the order had been changed.. made the learning process very difficult!
If you are into the self-taught education, take him. He is SO unorganized and confused! He even gives false info in class. He will just hurt your GPA!
What a headache! Notes were out of order or were added right before class. Often we weren't even aware of new slides he'd posted that morning. Horrible at explaining, tells irrelevent stories, and makes jokes about labor pains and the female cycle-not fun if you're a girl. Have previous knowledge and you'll get a B. The exams were avg. okay guy.
He doesn't know how to spell and his power points are different then the power points he hands out.
he confuses himself,expects everyone to get a C and doesnt try to help students learn material. basically you have to teach yourself. pulls stuff from out of no-where and puts it on the tests.DO NOT TAKE HIM!
This prof. IS NOT GOOD, DON'T TAKE HIM IF YOU DON'T HAVE TO. He is a nice guy, but sucks at teaching, and his tests are so confusing b/c he has so many freken mistakes on them, and he doesn't explain things worth crap!!! And he's not very helpful AT ALL!!! Not pleased at all!!!

this class should so have been tought and not an online class, just memorize and regurgitae the book, his tests have a few problems, a nice guy but not a great teacher.
Worst teacher ever, every single test had a mistake on it and you would think at the college level a professor would proof read his tests. Not very helpful at all (especially when he cancels the class right before an exam) Doesn't seem to want students to do well. Definitely would NEVER take him again! If you have him get out NOW
A nice guy, but you're on your own for the class. He'll help you if you can get to him during office hours or send an email. Watch out for his tests, there's always a few kinks.
Prof. Garcia is incompetant and should not be teaching at the college level. I am convinced that he doesn't proofread his tests and his endless pages of fill in the blank powerpoints are ridiculous. The questions he asks are unclear and the presentations he gives are equally confusing.
Garcia is great for lab. He's fun to joke with and knows his stuff. The quizzes are hard so make sure you study for them, but he does offer extra credit, as long as you don't ask for it.
Garcia was a great lab prof! He jokes around a lot and is very knowledgable on anatamy & physiology. The quizzes are fairly tough but he does offer extra credit quite a bit. I enjoyed his class even though it was at 8 a.m. :P
Garcia was an alright teacher. It always seemed that there were questions on the test that we didnt go over in class. He did give out a lot of extra credit so that was a bonus. I wish i had kozal but it wasnt the end of the world.
Nice guy but not a great teacher. Our class was pretty much self-taught. He pretty much did nothing the entire semester. He doesn't proofread anything he writes and I don't know how he is teaching at this level. Questions on the med. term. quizzes are sometimes worded weird and don't make any sense so you're left to guess what he is really asking.
Garcia is a good proff. Study and you'll get an A. Just don't sit up front: he picks on people that sit in the front. He tells stupid jokes, too, but overall, an easy A.
The class is based on labs that correspond to what you're doing in lecture, and you take quizzes the following week on those labs. The first few quizzes are easy, but after the lab practical (which isn't bad so don't freak out) they get a little tricky, so study a bit before. Nice guy, but not the best prof, corny jokes. Reminiscent of high school.
Prof. Garcia was an ok teacher. He was extremely unclear at times about expectations. His teaching method consisted of reading a powerpoint presentation (which can be found on the textbook's website) and telling stories about his life, there was never much substance. If you need the gen- ed, I would find someone else for BMS 100.
I was really intimidated going into this class, not being one big on science. However, Garcia made this class worth it. He was funny and helpful. If you ask questions, pay attention, and care- you will do just fine.
Easy class, he doesnt speak very cleary.
study and pay attention to the powerpoint and you will be fine..
Prof. Garcia's pretty cool but can make class pretty awkward sometimes when you get to the sex ed chapter. He's really blunt about what he has to say which can also be awkward. The work is super easy though if you do it, the exams are kinda tough but the work can bring your grade up.
Good professor, but the class was like a high school health class. He also goes over the simple stuff, but puts ridiculous things on the exams.
um...I wasn't a fan. Prof. Garcia is not a very smart man and thats all there is to it. We watched the same video twice in the same class period and didn't even notice until one of the students told him...prolly shouldn't be a prof. Class assignments are easy but tests are impossible to study for...I got in the 80s when I studied and when I didnt
He made a really bad impression on me the first day of class, but you get used to his personality. I guess he's kinda funny and he does try to help.
Ehh, he's good, not the best. Funny guy and pretty helpful. The only thing I hate about this class is that the book this year really doesn't match with the labs themselves. Garcia is cool.
Okay professor. He goes off on random stories a lot that don't relate to the subject material and takes up a lot of class time, which gets kind of annoying.
I was really surprised to see that he has such a low rating on here. I really liked his class. He has a good sense of humor and is very helpful, always willing to put in extra time to help you understand something and the quizzes aren't hard if you read through the labs. He kept things interesting.
