He is a very good professor that cares about students. The class is hard. I got a C and I learned a lot
I am not agreeing with those students who said Dr Pino is not a good professor. He really cares about you and prepares you for your career. Do not take him if you don’t want to learn. He is great!
No Comments
He's a pretty good teacher he just doesnts provide u with a good study giude for tests so u end up overstudying.
He is a touch teacher but makes the subject interesting and fun
He is smart and concerned about your progress. Very good professor. Not an easy class
he is a great teacher. He makes it fun to learn. he will try to discourage you the first day of class telling you it will be very heard but is not. great teacher.
the is a great teacher
Absolutely amazing professor I am taking him for BSC2086 lecture and lab. He has been very helpful in both classes, you can tell he wants all of his students to pass. Don't be fouled into thinking its an easy class right of the bat, keep in mind that it is an anatomy and physio class, it is only easy if you study hard, it is not for slackers.
He cannot speak English and cannot explain a thing even in Spanish. I am bilingual, but I did not learnt a thing from him. Do not take him if you want to learn.
Learn the parts of the body and the functions by law of "C" de cañon and u will pass with an A. He's a good teacher and encourages the student to learn. take him if u are a warrior of science.
VERY boring and I never paid attention to his lecture. Powerpoints = the test but the book is clearer so I just studied the book. If you have an A you don't have to take the final, there's extra credit on every test and alot of easy grades (online quizes you can take over until you get a 100). His accent is pretty bad but at least he's a nice guy.
Dr. Pino was amazing! He is incredibly experienced in this field and a great teacher. Encourages students to learn and is easily available to discuss grades, makeup quizzes, etc. I wish I would have taken him before.
very good teacher. ALl his tests came from his powerpoint. i had him for bsc2085l and i got a B, and i got him for bsc2086l and i got a A. He is supper easy as soon as u feel like u wanna study. take him u will learn a lot.
great professor. makes class interesting. good sense of humor
He has a thick accent that can be difficult at times. Prof. Pino goes through everything. But if you study, he isn't that hard.
I had prof pino for A&P 1 & 2 Labs. Hes not easy but hes a great teacher. if you go to class and study his powerpoints you will get an A. I got an A in both classes and he gives alot of extra credit.
He keeps you motivated and inspired
awesome teacher..was very helpful..i missed a practi**** and made me make it up next semester..
He is pathetic. He is trying to pretend that he is teaching, but he can't. You will pass his class if can remember his notes word by word. If you want to study for yourself, not for the grade, just read the book and wikepedia.
So helpful!
He's a excellent professor.His class is very interactive and intresting. I would recommend him to anybody.
He's very helpful, funny, and you do learn in his class. He does have a accent, but it's not much of a problem.
very good, extemelly helpful
great professor, dont let him intimidate you about having to take chemistry or biology. If you study hard and do all that he tells you, you can become a winner. He dosen't speak english well but if you listen and pay attention you can pass his class. Reading is a major factor.
The best professor ever. If you read the chapter and do everything that he tells you.You will do great.
Pino should not be a teacher. Very nice positive caring person, but not a good teacher. He gives no clues as to what is going to be on the test he wants you to memorize all of the info in the book. This man needs to learn how to use spell check . Awesome person just a bad teacher. He should take his boards and become a MD instead
Nice Professsor, He really trys to teach you something. It is alot of material to study. He makes you work for it but he is fair,kind and his class is very interesting.He teaches practical applications which is very interesting. I loved his class and will miss him. He is great!
Super professor, Hard class.He cares about teaching you. He puts alot of effort to make it interesting and fun. Nice man.Don't take this class if you don't want study. YOU MUST its alot of information in a short time.Professor is good.I would take him again if I could for BSC 2086.
Great teacher. English is awful and spelling definitely needs work, but he cares about the class and knows his stuff. Reading and studying is definitlely a must. I would teach him english and take his class again.
Very good professor. He is fair and his tests are not difficult if you review from his power point lessons and read the text. Questions mainly come from his powerpoints.
Great professor! Dr. Pino wants his students to pass and is always available for help. You must study hard which consists of READING the chapters over and over again until you understand them. Tests are multiple choice and lots of extra credit. Highly recommended professor if you want to learn. Must study everyday.
Nice professor. A lot of busy work.Powerpoints and lectures difficult to follow. Study guides were useless. Be prepared to teach yourself Anatomy and Physiology.
VERY HARD CLASS U HAVE TO ESTUDY A LOT QUIZ EVERY CLASS PRACTICUMS VERY HARD IF U FAIL ONE UR DONE. STRONG ACCENT BUT STILL A GOOD PROFESSOR U WILL LEARN.
GREAT PROFESSOR!, TOO BAD I DIDN'T TAKE HIM FOR THE LECTURE. HE MAKES YOU STUDY HARD, BUT YOU ACTUALLY LEARN.
Does not know a heck beyond his handouts. If asked question on the subject matter goes vendictive.
SUPER HARDDDDDD!! CLASSS YOU CANT CHEAT AT ALL HE WATCHES YOU LIKE A HAWK! FUNNY BUT NOT HELPFULL AT ALL DONT TAKE HIM! TESTES ARE HARD && HE JUST DOESNT TEACH!!!!!!"/
this guy can't teach whatsoever..doesn't help at all.. all he does is read from his useless p.points which btw are spelled wrong 99% of the time...hell no i don't want to be a WEINER like he says. don't take this class unless you want to see somebody making a fool of himself with his stupid jokes and his accent.
Please guys stop whining! Dr. Pino is the best professor there is at the Kendall Campus. His reviews are thorough and he is extremely knowledgable and clear on what he wants. Yes you do have to study....easy A for science warriors! Will miss you Dr. Pino
DO NO TAKE THIS "PROFESSOR" HE JUST WANT YOU TO FAIL THE CLASS, HE JUST READ HIS POWER POINTS AND YOU WILL SEE IN THE TEST THINGS THAT HE HAD NEVER TALK ABOUT.... THE ONLY GOOD THING IS THE BONUS QUESTIONS IN THE TEST.. DO NOT TAKE HIM!!
His lab realies on the lab book. He will send power points to your email. Very interactive and tests and quizzes relate to the exact material taught. Also adds application discussion which is useful.
i took this professor twice cause i had an emergency.Excellent professor.He is a doctor, and tries his best to be a good teacher.He makes you work hard, but You obviously need to read and prepare cause its an anatomy class!its all about memory.Had both his classes, lab and lecture, hes fair and helpful in both, tho lab is more interactive.Take him!
Pino is awesome...READING IS A MUST if you want to get a B or higher in this class.He gives study guides prior to the test. He is really helpful if your having trouble with something. He keeps you entertained (he's hilarious!) and makes the material interesting.
Very hard class. Got an A but studied till I was nauseous!!! I dont recommend him to anyone there are better teachers
His accent is horrible and he's difficult to understand. But, I just memorized the powerpoint presentations he sent by email and received As on all my quizzes and exams. Needless to say, I got an A in the class. Not the best teacher however, due to the difficulty in understanding him.
Dr. Pino is an excellent teacher. He is professional and willing to help and give extra credits on the test and work papers to help raise your grade. This is a hard class because of the content, not the teacher! If you are not ready to study hard you will not pass his class or any other A&P class. I would highly recommend this professor.
I think is a great anatomy professor! I dont know what you people are talking about. Anatomy is not an easy course, there is alot of studying involved but he makes he interesting and his lab's are really fun! He made us into SCIENCE WARRIORS! hahaha Hes really funny, I enjoyed his class. I wish he was teaching anatomy 2! WAKKEEE UP! hahah hes great
professor is a great teacher, the class is hard though. He sends you all his powerpoint presentations. You HAVE to read the book. He hypes you for the test and gets you nervous but if you read and study you will pass.
I took him for 2085L and 2086L an lemme tell u he is really is about helping his students learn an be successful yes u have 2 study but how else can u learn and do good he has kind of accent but still can understand i really enjoyed his class and got A's
Great teacher you have to study but all around easy class Dr.Alfonso is really nice and encourages his students 2 learn
Really useless and pathetic prof. I'd rather teach myself with the book than tale this class
kendall anatomy teachers are useless take them in the west campus more personal, smaller classes, and you learn soo much more.
Be a science warrior really. mentally and phy. Man knows his material. His passions helped me more to be what i have not seen in other prof. But I had to give 150%. No life at all....
Not an easy class but he gave us a pre test and gave advice about chemistry and biology courses before. I just followed his advice, took the courses and later on, the class was a lot easier to me. I am finishing with A. He is a Great professor!
Dr Pino gives extra credit, pop quizzes, study guides, the presentations are in the web site, online quizzes with multiple attempts, work papers to study in groups, research or service learning also. I was a little disappointed because he gave us assigned places in the auditorium but them I realized that he got control to the students and we got al
Dr.Alfonso is a wonderful teacher he really cares about his students and wants them to be the best nurses and medical students they can be he gives a lot of quizzes but you just have to study you can't expect to just sit on your butt an get an A that y ppl say that he's hard but i garantee if u try to your best the class will b a breeze
Ok, for all those students that wrote comments such as "if you want to fail a class, take his" and "made me study till I was nauseous and stil did not get my A". SERIOUSLY...you guys need to go back to grade school. Pino is an excellent professor, but his class was not hard AT ALL. Just study his Power Point Presentations and PAY ATTENTION IN CLASS
This for the LAB. Pino is a GREAT professor and person. He'll help you whenever, explains things clearly, gives no homework, just like 5 or so GROUP classwork. The practicums are intimidating but they're actually pretty easy! Don't believe the haters on here. Pino #1 in MDC.
He is the best professor ever!!!! a little bit hard but you will learn a lot, you do have to study hard but he gives a lot of extra credits and if you study his power points you will be fine, I got an A and i also work full time
great professor!!! His class might seem a littel difficult but is not if you study like any other science class! He a super helpfull professor and you can go to him with any question. He loves teaching and you can feel it! I took the anatomy lab and lecture with him in a summer term and got an A on both!!!!! Loved the class!!!!! Really recommed him
He is very helpful and push the students to learn. What happens with this class is that it is very hard and there is a lot of content,but believe me he is the best. I was one of his warriors ,but I got an A in his class and I will wait until Fall to get BSC 86 just with him. I am really prepared with his classes.Good luck.
Dr. Pino really encourarges his students to learn, he calls us his science warriors. He is by the book, he does not curve grades and expects you to memorize word for word what you study in the book. I was two points away from an "A" and he made take the final. Which then I still ended up with a "B" in the class. overall not a bad professor, study!
Hes okay, not the best. Hes nice and will answer all your questions, but theres alot require for the class. You have to do 20 hrs community service hours, lots of group work, research paper in group, seats you in ABC order, powerpoint lectures are boring and tests are extremely hard. I studied alot and still struggled on the tests.
Great teacher. Tests arent too bad just study and you should do fine. I got an A in the class and did not have to take the final. I recommend him=)
I DONT LIKE HIM AT ALL... worst ever!!!! Very hard tests and useless class assignments. You have to work in groups and do community service. Not ideal if you work full time. He made my summer a living hell. Never would take him again.He wants everyone to be a science warrior, give me a break, ridiculous. I thank god i passed good luck if u take him
The students that wrote bad comments about Dr.Pino Grow up. He was amazing very helpful and gives plenty of extra credit to help u get an A. I have a learning disability and I got an A in his course all you have to do is study and do all the assignments and u will get an A I didn't have to take the final so Please he's amazing Best professor ever
Dr. Pino is the best professor @ MDC, he knows a lot and his classes are super easy if you follow instructions.....for me was an easy A...you have to study obvious but it isn't to hard....great professor,great class, I love it!!!!...enjoy a lot......super.....don't hesitate take his classes.....

You must read everything from the textbook, ocassionally he will let you know to skip something. His reviews are worthless, makes you attend class and do busy work which helps your grade abit. Excessive amount of community service, research paper, tedious things that having nothing to do with the subject. I would not recommend him to people that
OK here's the scoop: I am a father of 3 teenagers, work 40 hours a week (night shift, mind you), took his classes in the mornings right after work, and I aced both anatomy classes and labs with Dr. Pino. He is demanding, and you have to do A LOT of reading, but this is what this class is all about. If I could do it, anyone can do it; no excuses.
you need to read the book and the chapters to be able to get the material.He goes by powerpoint he reads everything from the powerpoint you need to study from the book, quizzes help you a lot,just study hard and you would pass the class with an A'.
Biology is a difficult subject if you don't study don't expect to pass this class. I recieve a 'c' not because I didn't study but because the course itself was difficult, It require a lot especially if you have children,and work full time. I Think thisProfessor teaches his class as well as he could even though I pass with a 'c'
okay, let me start with - HE WROTE THE BOOK. so therefore, he is V E R Y detailed. He is a great professor, and is very helpful but you must know all his material. The powerpoints are extremely boring and not much help. He has lecture notes that help alot for the exams- the exams are challenging; so studdyyy.
Prof. Pino is an absolutely great professsor. very thorough in his lectures. Also has good powerpoints.I used the powerpoints online to study for test and aced them all! Community service is only about 15hrs so dont complain...Also he is quite a sharp dresser so I rated him for hotness.lol. Nice guy overall :-)
I can't say enough about this professor. He is great! I had him for both BSC2085 and BSC 2086. He prepared me for what was yet to come. Now I attend the medical campus and trust me everything in that book is essential. His love for medicine makes him an excellent instructor who puts much effort and clarity into every session. God bless you Pino.
Review BSC 2085L Very hard class, alot of material thrown at you each week, quiz each week, FILL IN THE BLANK, i find myself studying more for his lab then i do studying for my lecture.
Dr. Pino is the best professor you can ever have. He makes you study for the tests, but if you read the book and apply it you will do fine. I finished his class with an A+, and if I could do it, you could do it too. He is posting me as the best science student for this year as well. Great professor, he knows what he is talking. You'll learned a lot
This is a review for BSC2086L. Dr. Pino is awesome. At first I was very intimidated by him - I had heard he was difficult. I quickly began to love his teaching methods. You really learn. There is a quiz every class, these quizzes can be difficult but they help prepare you for the practicums and help you really LEARN the subject. Highly recommended.
Horrible Teacher, Quiz every class which is fine, only its so much information for 1 class to take in that its close to impossible to do well on the FILL IN THE BLANK exams, you him for help and he turns you to the tutoring department to study the models, yet on the quizes u have functions and definitions
He is the best teacher I have ever had! He teachs you and it makes u want to study and pass his class! i recommend that u take him! i promise u wont regret it! im taking BSC2086 and i wish he was my teacher bc it was fun going to class and i was actually interested in the class! FIGHTER!!!
He is a great professor! His exams are challenging but not impossible. He will help you attain the highest grade possible but you do have to make an effort. Science classes are not suppose to be easy As anyways. Good luck & study hard to be a winner!
He is the best professor. I regret not taking his class again for 2086. He makes sure you understand the material and tests are exactly what he tells you to study. I had him for lecture and lab. very nice guy and he is not going to make you sleepy in class.. definantly not boring. What are you waiting for??? sign up for his class!!
HORRIBLE TEACHER! He tries to be funny, but He's not funny at all! I do not recommend him as a prof.
GOOD, GOOD GOOD
I do not recommend Mr. pino to anyone who wanna take anatomy1,2 lecture and labs.He is very rude, unhelpful he thinks that he is a policeman, he is not funny at all.taking his classes is just waisting time.
He is a great professor! He tries to help you attain the highest grade possible. However, he does make you work for it. It's anatomy so by nature it isnt easy. But if you takes notes and make sure to be there each class you will have no problem. He is great. I recommend. Oh and he assigns a service learning of 20hours. so heads up!
Easy prof. Makes you do a couple of assignments thoug. 5 test plus a final (if u have an A then u dont take the final) 1 20Hr service learning project, at home ch. test, 1 group paper. All pretty easy, Got an A.
One of the best teachers at MIAMI DADE! if you need to take anatomy hes your guy! as long as you study and do all the practice tests you should be fine, his tests arent that hard but it is science afterall so you do need to study. I got an A in his class and hated not being able to take him for 2086 !TAKE HIM!!!
GREAT motivator, not too great of a professor. i studied my life away to pass this class with an A. He reads straight off the powerpoint. However, his CLA, Service Learning, etc help raise your grade. Get ready to teach yourself everything. Side note: This class is not easy but a professor should TEACH. Good Luck!
Great professor! He keeps the class intersting even if you don't like anatomy because he uses practical, real life examples which are very helpful to relate things. Uses slides made by himself off the book. You can study from his slides or the book and you will pass.
I LOVED Pino. I took BSC2086 Lab. Don't be intimidated by him in the first week because a lot of people can be (I know I was). But he's really a WONDERFUL professor & he makes the subject easier to comprehend. Study his powerpoints & pay attention to what he tells you to pay special attention to & you should do well. He's also a good modivator.
GREAT PROFESSOR!! Took him for anatomy 2 lab. Study his powerpoints and go to class everyday and you'll do great! loved him
good teacher he means well must go to class and take notes make sure to read the ch's and do all the work he assigns its hard but if u commit urself u'll get an A no problem def not an easy A but not impossible he does have a hard accent to understand but is willing to help if u stop by his office never during class do have to study hard for tests
Wonderful motivator, crummy teacher. I really didn't learn from him and found his "teaching" style to be too independant to actually attend class. Study his powerpoints and you should be fine! Thank God for his CLA's and service learning activity- helped me get a decent grade.
This teacher was hard but at the end of the semester you will notice that you learned. he really cares for you (dont be intimidated) study hard to become a winner "that his saying" and you will do great! i got an A but i busted my butt for it. do the hrs they REALLY help. he will prepare you for reality.. great guy id definitely take again
(BSC 2085/2086) Professor Pino is the best teacher at MDC. He is a Pediatric Doctor, so he gives clinical type questions during lecture. Its so interesting! The test are fair. YOU HAVE TO STUDY TO BE A WINNER! He says this all the time it is so true. He is passionate about his profession and teaching, and you too will be passionate about learning.
AWESOME TEACHER! VERY MOTIVATION AND TRIES TO HELP HIS STUDENTS AS MUCH AS HE CAN. HIS ACCENT IS BARABLE AND HE REALLY LOVES WHAT HE DOES, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TAKING HIM! HIS FAMOUS WUOTES, "STUDY HARD AND BECOME A WINNER!" "FIGHTER!" AND FOR WHEN YOU REALLY KNOW YOUR SHIT, "WARRIOR!" LOL, LOVE YOU PINO!
Excellent Professor, really motivates students to get good grades, with his reviews and quizzes i guarantee an A, famous quote indeed is Winner, lol..great educator a bit of accent but perfect professor.
He is the BEST!!! You must prove to him though, how bad do you want this A. He will motivate and encourage to become the best that you can. Many professors won't care for their students like professor Pino does.
Great for lab and lecture. He really warms up to student in anatomy 2 because by then you know how hard you need to study. He is a great motivator but his class is a bit boring when he reads off the ppt. Overall, no complaints! Great teacher! Very knowledgeable!
def recommend pino! his accent is somewhat hard to understand but he gives lots of help and if you do practice tests you will do well on his tests. i would definitely take him again. he is amusing as well. he is truly passionate about his job which is inspiring.
I had him very anatomy 2 and the lab. I was worried cause I heard some bad things about it, but he turned out to be super awesome! Keys to doing well in his class is do all the extra credit. Do more service hours then he says, those points saved my ass. Hes a great teacher
Currently taking BSC2085 during the summer with Pino. I must say that he is a great motivator. He doesn't really teach, classes contain him reading directly off of the power point. You must do a lot of studying on your own in order to do well. He gives lots of extra credit and is extremely helpful. Overall, he doesn't teach, but I like him.
Dr. Pino is a pretty good professor. Straight foward and he tells you what to expect from the class.
Dont buy the book u wont use it! he is a good teacher but very hard class you must study ur a** off to b able to pass his class. he doesnt give a study guide for test just say chap. .... test next class. he does give out alot of xtra credit but test r super hard n confusing! if u can try to take someone a bit easier!!!!
THE BEST PROFESSOR I HAVE EVER HAD!!! He goes above and beyond to help you understand and remember the material. Class is FUN!!! You have to study but he will help you along to be a fighter!
The class is not easy. You will need to study on your own or you will not do well on his tests. He gives 5 tests, a couple hw and 2 big projects. He reads of the powerpoints, doesnt really teach. Has an accent, but nothing major. Would recommend for serious students ready to learn a LOT about Anatomy and Physiology. Overall: 3/5 stars.
TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!!! I TOOK HIM FOR BSC2085 SUMMER AND ENDED WITH B... BUT IF YOU ARE ONE OF THOSE WHO REALLY STUDY IT WONT BE SO BAD!
Took him for both Anatomy I & II. He is great, you will learn alot in his class. If you're looking for an easy A this is wrong class to take. You will have to REALLY spend hours studying and fully read the chapters on text book, paying attention to his power points is not enough, he goes really in dept in the tests. I earned an A, great prof!!!!
Great professor but you HAVE to prove how bad you want an A. I got one but had to cry a couple of nights, he gives alot of extra credit and wants to see you do well and be a fighter!!!! This wasn't an easy A!! I ha a full time job and taking 3 other classes but I managed
dont take him unless you have no job. hes hard as heck. his test is super hard for anatomy 2. HARDDD!!!!!!!!
Dr. Pino is very good as a professor and as a person he makes class funny,interesting, and easy to understand. He doesnt give too much homework but he required to do service learning. and He is atractive man :) Take him for lecture and lab!!!
Dr.Pino is hilarious, great teacher, thick cuban accent but very helpful and loves participation and interaction and is always giving out extra credit for those who participate. The material is challenging, but only to those who do not study and apply themselves. To quote Dr.Pino "Study hard to become a winner!"
Great professor, but we have to study and very heplful, lots of extra credit, go over chapters many times, and he loves to teach...EXCELLENT PERSON AND PROFESSOR!!...Take him for lab and lecture Anatomy I and II
Good choice for students that need to take Anatomy. Gives you many different ways to get grades including Homework, Classwork, Tests, Service Learning (Every extra hour is 1 extra point towards your final grade which helps out a lot. He will definitely help you pass the class if he sees your trying and come to class. Take him if you can but hurry!
He is amazing, make the class interesting and funny. This is a science class so, "YES" you need to study more obviously. Dr. Pino's power points are super helpful. He is a very incredibly amazing human being, you would not regret it if you take the change to take his class. But hurry the sits fill out really soon.
If you have never taken real anatomy class before and have yet to do CHM 1033 DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS ONLINE! EMTP training isn't enough. I hear wonderful things about this professor for lecture but online it is misery! You are teaching yourself everything and very little help from teacher or dept. Take only if you have sound A&P knowledge already.
BSC2086L. I loved this class! He is so funny and make class very interesting. I learned so much from him. All the other BSC classes I had taken were online so I was nervous at first but he is awesome! I recommend him for sure! If you are a "fighter" you will be a "winner" in this class :)
Awesome professor. He can be strict but only bc he cares about you and your success in his class and life. Got an A on all four exams by just studying the lecture notes he puts up online. Didn't have to take the final. He also gives extra credit. If you want to learn then take him if you want an easy A than goodluck in Nursing school.Loved him!
Dont Know why some people keep talking about his accent,I had some professors that speak perfect english but dont teach or Know anything.I admired Dr Pino.Great prof,help students and his classes are interesting moreover he is an intelligent person he was a physician in Cuba and really Knows Anatomy,english is not a barrier for him,He is a Winner
great professor! makes the class somewhat fun & interesting. has a strong accent but you can understand. 4 exams which have some questions from online hw. must do the hw! for grade! a group paper and group activities in class. students with an A at the end dont have to take the final.
This is my opinion only trying to help you out. I didnt like him, he is all into himself. Yes, he does stupid things in class but I just want to learn. yells out fighter so? I just wanted him to tell me what to do to get my grade up, not just say fight. His test R mulitp. choice that was good. But he got his quest. out of ev. thing. that was hard.
I like him; he tries to make class interesting.
Attendance is mandatory, he is super funny and his test are super easy and even though he has a cuban accent, you can understand perfectly what is he saying. Super nice and friendly. FIGHTERS! lol
Hes my favorite professor so far and I'm a junior, hes really funny , super positive and motivating , he emails the study guide and power points and gives out alot of extra credit to help. loved him WINNER! lol
TOOK ONLINE FOR BSC2086. CLASS WAS DIFFICULT. HE DID THE BEST TO MAKE THE CLASS AS EASY AS POSSIBLE . DO THE WORK ONTIME STUDY AND YOU WILL DO OKAY. HE GIVES THE OPPERTUNITY TO BOOST YOUR GRADE WITH THE MASTERING HOMEWORK. DO IT! IT WILL BOOST YOU OVERALL GRADE AT LEAST 20 % . YOU MUST STUDY HARD TO BE A WINNER ! GOOD LUCK!
I didnt like him. I studied very hard and didnt do well. dropped. his test consist of ev.thin. books, pearson, notes. But R MC.Dont recommend 2 anyone who cant teach themselves. He had lots of fans though, not sure why. I look for someone who teaches and inspires, good luck! My Opinion! So chill!
Prof Pino knows his materials and what he is teaching. He pushes you to learn and be motivated. You got to study and try your best in his class, and you'll get an A. Exams based on the book, powerpoints, Angel website, and there is service learning (volunteer). Study, volunteer and answer questions in class for extra credits= an A in the class.
He is an okay teacher but does not give everyone equal chances of receiving extra credit. Although service learning was a great experience, it was impossible to work and fulfill commitment to a hospital. His tests are fair but you need to study.
PROF PINO IS A MUST TAKE PROF HE'S FUNNY AND HE DOES THINGS THAT YOU WON'T EXPECT FROM A TEACHER AMAZINGG VERY MOTIVATING WHICH YOU REALLY NEED AND HE'S TEST ARE BASED ON THE ONLINE HW IF YOU DO THE PRACTICE YOU'LL BE FINE I HAVE AN A+ IN HE'S CLASS11 WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR TAKEE HIMM FIGHTERSSSS
This class was definitely very hard he does give alot of extra credit but even if you have a high B at the end its almost impossible to get the A with the final I did not see the point in taking it and you have to do service learning if you work have family and are a full time student I don't recommend this class to you requires a lot of your time
Doc Pino is the best A&P prof in MDC, hands down. Don't delude yourself though, his material is tough. Get ready to fight, science warriors. And remember, "don't go red, this is science!"
This was not an easy class, but if you study and do your work he is a very fair Professor. I got an A in his class but I busted my butt for it. He cares for his students and always has a word of encouragement for us before our tests
You're going to have to study alot. The book, the powerpoints, and the online hw which includes more and more studying...he just really wants you to know your stuff. He is funny, and cares for his students, but definately not an easy class.. get an A at the end and you dont need to take the final..gives alot of extra credit & service learning helps
Prof Pino is not an easy A but if you follow his advices, doing the mastering, video tutor and interactive physiology, you will get that A.
He is a great professor and wants you to learn. All anatomy classes r hard so don't look for someone easy. You have several ways to get an A: participation, mastering, service learning, online homework. I highly recommended but studied like crazy!!! Got an A...I am so proud!
Professor Pino is very good and dedicated to teaching. If you study and attend his lectures you should do well. By far one of my favorite professors in science.
The best anatomy professor at Dade. He loves his job and is very dedicated. He truly cares about teaching. He is always in a great mood and he loves to scream out loud fighters.
Pino is FANTASTIC! He truly loves his profession, and it shows in his teaching. He is very fair, and understanding. If you study the text and anything he tells you to study, you will do well. My favorite professor so far at Dade. If you take him, you will really learn anatomy-1 or 2. I love him, and if I ever have the chance, will take him again!
Great professor. Motivates the student. Helpful, gives extra credit. Mid & Final Proctored. Class consists of Quiz & 1 Research posting plus the mid & final. Q can only be done once.
Go for it fighter! Dr Pino is an excellent instructor, material is hard, however, he catch your attention and use teaching techniques that allow you to memorize the material so you won't never forget it. I truly recommend him, study hard, go to classes, pay attention to his lectures and you will get an A, and learn Anatomy and Physiology.
Pino is the BEST! He is a great motivator and cares for all his students. He has an accent but it doesn't even matter. His passion and dedication mean so much more. He is available if you need help and is understanding. There are 4 tests and 1 paper. If you get an A in the class, you don't have to take the final. He also gives bonus ?'s on test.
Study hard and become a fighter! Eccentric and funny, and overall a good teacher
awesome teacher! material is not easy you have to study. dont expect to know everything just by going to class cause you will fail. i would study 4 days before the test everyday and passed the class with an A+ you have to put your mind to it if you want it bad enough. pino goes in detail about every topic and makes sure u understand before movingon
great teacher wants you to become a great student and makes the class fun to attend.
i love this guy! he is SO helpful! if you do not understand something ask he loves when students ask questions he is not too difficult but study his test are a little hard but he teaches you everything you need to know and tells you what to study. fantastic teacher!
This professor is amazing. He motivates the class, gives great examples and is dedicated to see his class succeed. You will def. learn and enjoy his lectures.
Amazing professor. Really cares about his students and extremely helpful. Gave me a glowing recommendation letter for the nursing program. As with any class, you DO need to study, so if you are lazy you will definitely not get an A. He definitely wants you to learn.
Good professor but the test are hard. He could do better in explaining more content and not just reading power points. Not an easy A. Study hard and you will do good. He does have a lot of fans though.
Overall is a nice guy has a cuban accent which makes it difficult to understand sometimes but he knows what hes talking about. A little chaotic when he comes to grading has messed up mine and several other students grades and attendance is mandatory takes it every class at the beginning
Great teacher. While he has an accent, if you live in south florida you should be used to it and should be able to understand what he is saying. Had him for lab once a week, quiz on last weeks material every week. He really takes his time to explain things in a way that everyone will understand. He is very fair with his grades but you must study.
This professor is soo professional, he is amazing. Soo organized and everything is on point. Study what he tells you, you will get an A+. He motivates you and encourages you to succeed. Just take him!! He is amazing...
Prof Pino is one of the greater prof I have taken in MDC I will recommend him to anyone who really wants to learn and get an A in class. He responds to emails very fast and will always help you in what you need. Took his class online this summer and it was very good!!!
NOW! ANGEL quizzes,drops the lowest 2.Uses Mastering;pumps up grade and U will not get less than 95% in mastering.4 Tests,2 on ANGEL!!and 2 in class!A project that is either a research paper about an illness or a 10 hour service learning/presentation easy!Sends emails encouraging to study & according to Dr.Pino "YOU ARE THE CHAMPIONS OF SCIENCE!!"
TAKE HIM! very funny because of his accent and the things he says. I got an A+ all i studied was mastering and his power points also the pre and post test. You do have to study though but he tries very hard to keep you interested. I loved his class. You don't really need the book except to clarify things
Dr. Pino is just awesome. He was a physician in Cuba so his knowledge of the material is right on. His test general come straight from the "Mastering Questions". Go over the mastering questions over and over and you will have a garunteed A. Service learning sucked though but other that that hes awesome. He wrote me a great recommendation letter
Awesome professor always motivates you to study, which is a MUST in this class, in order to get a good grade. Passed all his exams didn't have to take a final, so long as you study and do the review you'll do fine in the class.
BEST TEACHER EVER!!! i took him last year for A&P 1 and it was great. He uses the book as well as online studies... Its not easy but he actually teaches you in ways you can remember it later on. He even took a picture with the whole class at the end of the semester. BEST TEACHER EVER!!!
THE BEST PROFESSOR I EVER HAD,HI HAS THE ABILITY TO TURN A DIFFICULT AND FRUSTRAITING CLASS, INTO AND EASSY AND INTERESTING ONE.I TOOK HIM FOR A&P 1 NOW I AM TAKING HIM FOR 2 AND STILL DOING GOOD.
I had a good experience with him for Anat. 1 so I took him again. He is too obsessed with Learning Catalytics and didn't lecture anything related to the chapter. He is fun but I am there to learn. His tests for Anat. 1 are cake but not for Anat. 2. Do the Mastering and the extra credit hours! It will save you! The group project is a pain.
Dr. Pino by far is the best professor at MDC Kendal campus. I truly enjoyed taking his class. It's so hard to find such a passionate professor. He cares so much for his students! Take him!! You won't regret it. You do have to study. & you will receive an A! Go (fighters!) took Anatomy 1 at class & anatomy 2 blended(my fav)
He's a good professor. Wants you to pass the class. It's an easy class, he gives you homework and 4 tests that are based on the homework he gives you, meaning the same exact questions. So review everything on Mastering for the tests. He has a heavy accent, but either way he's pretty awesome.
Good professor, definitely interested in that his students pass. Hes very funny and the overall structure of his class is easy. It is an anatomy class so you must study but if you do the online homoworks the class will be very easy.
Take him you won't regret it. You must study though! for the tests study all the mastering questions, most come from there. he's a great professor
Great professor! Gives you plenty of opportunities to earn a good grade. You must study. Has 4 test, 2 proctored, 2 you may take at home! He is always encouraging his students! AWESOME PROFFESOR!
Dr. Pino is AMAZING!! He truly cares for he's students. I took his summer class BCS85 & I also took him for BCS2086 blended course. He is by far my favorite professor at MDC. I wish all my professors were as good and passionate like him. I learned so much from him. TAKE HIM!!! (FIGHTERS) I got an A in both classes.
Professor is very nice, funny and helpful. Had him half the summer term, kind of sad he had to switch. Spanish accent slightly thick but nothing you can't understand. Mastering is a must-super helpful. Book didn't read much. Study yes!!, as he says we are fighters.
So smart! Need to study but that's like every other class, totally recommend him.
This is such a funny professor. " YOU ARE FIGHTERS". You have to study for his class and read the book. He explains everything and a lot of the things he says are on the test so you need to pay attention in his lectures. We took quizzes and hw online they we not hard if you read the book. Great professor. Highly recommend him.
Dr. Pino is a very intelligent professor, he knows his material very well and as long as he sees that you are interested in the class and that you are truly trying he will help in whatever you need. Yes it is a tough class & no it's not an easy A. Study A LOT, do all of the mastering, homework and study guide (long) and you will get a good grade!
One of the best professors I have had at MDC. He is a great professor and a great person. He genuinely cares about his students.
pino honestly is awesome. he really wants his students to succeed. the only thing is that he has a real heavy cuban accent and can sometimes be hard to understand. DO THE MASTERING, its 20% of the grade and you'll barely pass without it. if you miss some though, just email him and he'll open it up.
AMAZING!!! Pino wants you succeed. Mastering is important, there are 4 tests that are cake when you study or even pay attention. He does have a heavy accent and horrible handwriting. Show up to class , pay attention, do assignments and you'll pass.
HES A GREAT PROFESSOR ! Honestly if your on top of your things, Listen to his lectures. Read the power points he sends out and make sure you study you will pass his exams. Midterm + FInal .. final is taken only if your failing the class. He gives extra credit. he really wants you to succedd in his class VERY HELPFUL. take him wont regret .
The best professor I've came across. Extremely passionate & intelligent. Study hard & you will definitely pass with an A. Learned so many things from this class. I recommend Professor Pino over any other professor! You are FIGHTERS!!!!
I took this professor only because of the good review he had here on rate my professor. Honestly, I would not take this professor again. Although I got an A in the class, I really wanted to learn about anatomy. Not just read the text book. He doesn't really teach that well. He just reads the PowerPoints. I do not recommend him. Not a good teacher.
Failed his class with D,I was in the hospital for medical reason, retook the class with another professor later and got an A. Not compassionate person, great professor though. A lot of homework assignments for extra credit and 4 pages papers if you want the extra points. Online tests are 2 w3 attempt, You are a winner! Sends a lot of reminders.
Professor Pino is the best Anatomy professor i took him online course he give's extra credit so take advantage of that because it does major help in your grade he give's a study guide for the exam and final so study well .
READ and GO TO CLASS
Funny and entertaining professor. reads from the power points which he provides to you. Tests are hard. some of the questions are from mastering but only about 20 percent. if you're looking for an easy A,i wouldn't recommend him.
This professor is great at giving extra credit. . There are four test which are based on the online practice tests and a research paper 10% of final grade. I have an A+ in the class and i would take again. Very easy class not hard.. promise if your not strong in science take HIM
Easily my favorite professor i have had the privilege to be taught by. the man's attentive to is students, he helps you out when you need it, he give a lot of extra credit assignments, and hes pretty damn funny and he still presents the subject matter in a clear and efficient manner. he makes you want to learn. i highly recommend this professor
this guy is awesome. PICK HIS CLASS! trust me
If you like the subject you'll love him and if you don't you will still love him. He's funny and adorable. He's so helpful when it comes to understanding the physiology. Let's go fighters!
GREAT GREAT professor! makes you fall in the love with the subject, most of his tests come from the homework so do it! and practice it over and over again
I took him for anatomy 1 and again for 2, amazing professor, and you won't get bored in class. Do the homework and study the exercise all over again and you will be ready for the test.
Dr. Pino is very knowledgeable on what he teaches. And yes, he has an accent but after a while you get used to it and is not that difficult to understand. Tests are mostly online, super easy to pass. The only thing is that he asks for Service Learning hours which can sometimes be a pain if your schedule is tight but you can still do it. Take him.
Professor Pino has been the best teacher that I had in mdc. I took him for anatomy 1 and 2. I recommend him, you will like him.
Took him in 2015 fall semester,nicest guy, small accent, funny. Makes the class interesting. His test are a little hard but study and you will be fine. Gives homework and extra credit which helps with your grade alot. I wish I could take him for BSC2086 but his classes don't match with my scheduled. I highly recommend this professor!
Professor Pino is a awesome BSC2085 online professor, the information was clear and very detailed. If you had any questions he was respond within 24hrs and he encouraged everyone to be a fighter. I will like to encourage everyone to take his class.
Take him. I'm a slacker but passed with a B. He is really sweet and funny. If you have any questions, he is there to answer them. Pay attention in class and take notes. The review helps somewhat.
Pino is one of my favorite professors in MDC. I took him for both Anatomy 1 & Anatomy 2. He's hilarious and will keep you entertained. The material is extensive and specific. You need to study and put a lot of effort into this course. Pino helps a lot with Mastering (online HW), learning catalytics, and easy group projects. It's doable!
He is so hilarious. I loved his class. It was really easy and he made his lectures entertaining. Study the powerpoints and you should be okay. He also gives extra credit
Really awesome Professor big heart, funny, and ready to help you in anyway
Take him, amazing professor!!!!!!!!!!
I am not gonna lie, he's hard! If you want a good grade be prepared to do a lot of work and a lot of extra credit. But people do like him. Theirs a better way to teach a hard subject, I had to go elsewhere,
Professor Pino is great! He is fun and knowledgeable. I study a lot but what can you expect is Anatomy. I took Anatomy 1 and 2 with him and got A's. Take him!!
Get ready to bring your laptops every class. Very interactive with Catalytics (online reviews in each class). This helps out tremendously with your extra credit and lots of online assignments that in the end can jump your grade up. I ended up reading the book which helped me more to understand better a difficult subject.
Good online teacher! really enjoyed him. If you put in work as a fighter, result will come and he will help you!
Take him! A&P is not the easiest subject and he won't just hand you the grade but if you put in the work you will be fine. Great lectures and a lot of oppertunties in his class. Defiantly one of my favorite professors @ MDC
He is a funny professor but his power points have nothing to do with the exams. I studied my but out and passed with a B.
GREAT PROFESSOR. TOUGH CLASS. EXPLAINS EVERYTHING. VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE. 4 TESTS. QUIZZES, YOU CAN OPEN YOUR NOTEBOOK. ONLINE QUIZZES. LEARNT A LOT. PROJECT. STUDY A LOT. YOU CAN GET AN A.
There will be a group science project for a grade which includes 10 hrs to do in a service learning classroom, lots of online assignments, 4 tests. I would say don't go by the powerpoints and study from the book, helped to understand better. Do the work and study a good amount and you will do great. Extra credit helps tremendously.
He is the best A&P professor out there. I took him for two semester with the labs and I passed with all A's. Do the work and you'll pass. Easy A
Professor pino is very cool he is there for u if u need help with anything here is what u need to know there is 4 test is 50% HW is 30% group prjoect 10% final exam 10% in order for not to take the final u need 89.5 or higher study a lot don't be a slacker good luck to you
i loved pino ! He was a great teacher, he had a deep accent but you can understand, He mades the class interesting i liked him a lot!
I would guess he is not that bad of a professor if you can understand what he he is saying but I would't know because I can't. Very very VERY heavy accent. I didn't understand anything he said all semester. Even when I asked for additional explanation I was still pretty lost. I wouldn't take him again. Very hard to take notes from his lectures.
Pino is amazing! Hes so nice and motivating to all his students. He does have an accent, however you can still understand him. As long as you take good notes and do the online assignment, youll be good. He gives a lot of extra credit!
He is the best! his tests are easy if you study. you dont have to take the final if you have an A in the class. He knows a lot, and he would explain anything if you dont get it. Either way you have to learn things on your own because you wont remember if you just rely on what he goes over in class. I wish I took him for 2085, would have learn a lot
This professor is the best! I regret not taking him for anatomy 1, I would have learned more. Hes very funny, very knowledgeable, he explains everything. His test are easy if you study. I have gotten As in all of them. He makes you Review a lot with the mastering which in the long run will help you learn more. I wish he would teach nursing classes
AWESOME PROFESSOR!!!!! He is very knowledgeable about anatomy, breaks everything down for you. His class is set up to pass , he provides detailed study guides, goes over all of the material in detail. Do you homework, don't miss class and you will pass. The class is not easy but he provides all the necessary tools you need to pass...
amazing professor especially because this was my first online class ever! Grading was straight forward and he had everything very organized. found this to be a pretty easy A, and i haven't taken a class in years. such a wonderful experience. Wishing he was teaching 2086 because i don't think another online professor will compare to him! MUST TAKE!
Professor Pino is very energetic and he makes his class fun. However, be sure to set some time aside for this class as it can be difficult and he also tends to go really fast at times. There are 4 exams with an optional final and he offers a lot of extra credit which can help your grade a lot. Overall, it is doable if you study hard
He thinks that he's the only professor who's class you're taking and doesn't respect this by assigning mass homework on the online mastering which he counts as 30% of your grade. I scored: an A, a B, a high C and a high B got a 102 on class project and walked out with a C for missing 8 HW assignments. He caters to Pearson and doesn't care about you
Dr. Pino is the best. He does give a lot of homework, but it definitely helps boost your grade. His test are very straight forward and he offer tons of extra credit. I wouldn't take anatomy and physiology with any other professor. Easy A
Pino is a great Professor and he knows what he is doing and talking about. BUT, his homework is extremely time consuming. Dont take him if you take a few Moreno other classes and/or work a lot, and dont take him if youre major isnt specifically medicine (nursing, pharmacy, etc) because that is what his class and himself revolves around.
Very good professor I took the class online and I have to reach out a lot and he has always been here for me. I had a couple of issues with the class and he let me do all the exercises missed. Highly recommended
Lets start off with this, If you hate attending class dont bother taking him. Theres a quiz every class based on the powerpoint covered in the prior class. Homework, 4 practicums, a bunch of quizzes. Super entertaining class and Dr. Pino is extremely brilliant! Would take him over and over again! Truly loved this class and him!
As long as you show up, take notes and do the homework, youll be fine. Pino is amazing and funny.
I LOVE Pino! He is an incredibly intelligent professor who will push you but also motivate you! Super Funny! Do your hw assignments! It will help your grade BIG TIME! He gives projects(was not a fan)but met great classmates in the process and not to mention boots your grade!!! None the less, TAKE HIM. One of my most memorable and fav. professors!!!
Pino gives amazing lectures that simplify even the hardest concepts. Quiz questions will reappear on the practicum. Does team games to help you stay engaged. He's hilarious, caring and cuts you a break if an assignment is late or you missed a quiz. Calls everyone a fighter and champion. I learned so much because of him and he made the process fun.
Dr. Pino is one of the best professor's I've taken here at MDC. He creates a really fun and interesting learning environment. I've taken him for bSC 2085 and plan on taking him for BSC 2086 and BSC 2086. Definitely would recommend taking him.
professor Pino is very energetic he is optimistic and he cares about students passing. he have 5 test and final is optional. his test is simple. I found it a little challenging because his power points are too long including his study guide. he gives a lot of homework 30% of grade and a lot of extra credit. if you study you can pass.
Dr Pino is so passionate and caring! He is also funny and charismatic, his lectures are obviously hard, this is college Anatomy and Physiology, and you need to study. He sends lots of homework online that helps with grade and has an extra credit project. He is amazing!!! But you need to work for your grade
amazing teacher i love him best teacher in that school.
He is super good. I recomend to take him for Anatomy 1 and 2
Professor Pino is by far one of the most passionate individuals I've seen teach a subject in my entire time in school. His teaching is incredibly clear and concise and his tests aren't very difficult at all if you just do your mastering assignments and take good skeletal notes (which he gives you). Offers ample extra credit even on the exams!
10/10 exams are out of 120 points not just 100, makes lecture interesting, gives extra credit everyday, very reasonable and understanding
An awesome professor! He really shows his passion for the topic. You do have to put some effort into the class, I mean... it is anatomy. With that said, he gives many opportunities for extra credit (up to 10% for a group project). Don't miss, he will withdraw you from the class. I highly recommend the book.
Alfonso Pino is one of the kindest and encouraging educators Ive ever had even outside of college. He genuinely cares and wants for his students to succeed and asks his students opinions of how he can do better and actually implements the things we say. Hes also funny and charming and calls us his science warriors and fighters.
Is doctor Pino the best Anatomy Prof. You better believe it. Enough Said. I wouldn't recommend anyone else ever. Even as an online Prof. you can tell that he GENUINELY cares about his students. Study the powerpoints and you'll be okay. DR. Pino "fighter" is the absolute best :D
The class is fairly simple. Do all the online homework and take the midterm online that he posts and you are pretty much set. Very easy to pass.
This was my first time taking an online class and I can say Dr. Pino made this a great experience for me. He's one of the best professors I have ever had! He is so nice and responds to your emails super fast. I will definitely recommend him, just do all your assignments and you will pass.
Pino is a great prof. I've taken him before and will again, his work is not easy as far as the exams but they aren't impossible he explains everything and gives detailed study guides. Recommend to everyone but study!
I have taken him for Anatomy and Physiology 1, and 2, including the lab. Hes been the most encouraging teacher ive ever had. You really have to study for his classes, but you will actually learn a lot. I cant put into words how amazing of a teacher he is. If you would like to really learn anatomy, and have an encouraging environment, choose him.
One of the best professors in MDC! Homework is heavy but its all online. Study for your tests via the online practice quizzes. If you show up and pay attention youll pass
For online classes, you have to purchase the online code for the online work. Would take again
Dr, Pino is a Good Professor, he inspires his students and keeps in communication with them. He reminds you why it is important to learn a lot from his class. He is the Best NC
Dr. Pino is super friendly and approachable and is always trying to make the class fun! The class is a lot of information because it's A&P, but if you study the powerpoints and look over some things in the textbook, you should be fine. During the pandemic he was super understanding and tried to make things a little easier for everyone. Recommended!
I took him online and he was amazing. 12 online quizzes , 4 exams. 2 proctored 2 online. Each exam is worth 12.5% which includes midterm and final. He emails quickly and is very nice. Theres 1 research paper and homework. Easy A.
Dr. Pino truly cares that his students are not only successful, but also learn. He's very easy to reach outside of class and will answer any questions you may have. The class itself is a little difficult because it's a lot of material, but Pino does a good job in explaining everything important. Definitely recommend reading. Gives extra credit.
Professor Pino is an intellectual, amazing, funny and caring professor. This class requires a lot of focus and work, but Professor Pino's outlines and powerpoints are super useful. I took the 6 week summer course and there were 30 exams but if you take good notes and listen you'll pass. Take him, you'll love him!!
Prof Pino engages with his students and encourages you to pass. His famous line " you are champions and warriors" will forever give me a boost of confidence when I'm down. His assignments are not difficult and he wants you to pass and is very understanding with his students.
Heavy accent, but so passionate about his work. You can contact him if you're having problems with the class and he's so supportive. He really pushes you to be the best student!
Dr. Pino is VERY enthusiastic and wants you to pass and understand the content. He does lecture and you do have to study but that is part of most human anatomy and physiology courses. His due dates and assignments while online are reasonable and easy to complete. He is always willing to answer questions and help you grasp the concepts.
TAKE HIM!! He's such a loving and caring gem at MDC. I had him for 2085 and 2086, I got an A in both classes. He's literally so easy and organized. All his assignments are on pearson. Only two exams which are the midterm and final NOT PROCTORED! He gives a lot of extra credit cause he wants you to pass. He calls his students champions and fighters.
HE IS SO SWEET. he is very understanding and calls all his students champions, eager for them to succeed in the class. It is a very easy class and the midterm/final are not proctored.
This professor is really amazing, he calls his students warriors and champions. He really explains everything so that it is easy to understand. There is two tests but if you study you will pass easy. Also the homework is all in Pearson and its really not hard at all.
he cares about his students and will help you as much as he can. Lecture and PowerPoint are easy to understand and study from for the quizzes and post lab assignments.
professor pino is a excelente teacher, homework usually but i like hi always still remember you to finish it at time , able to used notes , i cannot said nothing wrong about it so please if you need to take this class i really recommend it for, so champions go ahead .
Great professor overall. Easy to reach, clear outline he goes above and beyond to make sure everyone passes sending out constant email reminders. I'm taking him again next semester. All tests can be taken twice, the mid term was proctored -he allowed notes and a retake but the proctor site did not so he curved the grade- final was not proctored.
Very good teacher . Always answers your questions and concerns . He cares about his students and is very positive and encouraging .
So he's a very encouraging professor, wants you to succeed. Responds very quickly to emails, and the midterm and final are not proctored. There is a lot of hw on Pearson though and he gives ample time to do it all. He knows what he's talking about, but lectures can be a little boring personally. Overall great professor TAKE HIM!!
Professor Pino is an amazing professor one of the best i’ve had at mdc he is very encouraging and helps all his students learn and succeed in his class i recommend him 100%
Dr. Alfonso Pino is very professional and knows what he is teaching, he answers questions you have and is very dedicated to wanting his students to succeed. He calls his student champions and warriors and tries his best to motivate his students. I took both BSC2085 & BSC2086 with him and is the best professor! Only Pearson is needed for the class!
He's the sweetest professor I ever had in MDC. He cares so much for his students. He is very motivational. Love him! take him
The best of the best. Amazing, intelligent, motivational and student oriented. Got an A in both BSC 2085 and 2086 with him and I wish I could take him for every single class EVER. He is the sweetest and is super flexible and easy to work with. He makes class so enjoyable. Love him.
This is the best teacher I've ever had. It really is worth it, first of all he is a great human being. He tells us winners, warriors and fighters. He is very inspiring in his classes which makes us not get bored. This was a class with MDC live, attendance was taken automatically, the tests were from blackboard, without a camera.
Professor Alfonso Pino class was manageable and clear on what needed to be turned in on that date. I enjoyed the material taught and what the class required to be done to complete the course. Not too much homework if you pace yourself and do it before hand. Test was to the point and was taught through mastering assignments. He would remind you.
Professor Pino is the SWEETEST professor in the world. His assignments are fair and due dates reasonable. I forgot to take one quiz and he was very kind and opened it for me to take it, no questions asked. He has a pro-student approach to teaching. I took him online, the class had quizzes, online HW, a very easy project, and a proctored midterm.
Best professor ever for lecture!!
Really good professor
I want to start saying that professor Alfonso Pino is an Angel, he really cares that we learn the topics but not only that, he will make you feel appreciated, and he will motived you to do better. HE IS GREAT! The class is very easy, it is a lot of HW but he gives so much time to do it, only 2 exams which are super super fair. JUST TAKE HIM
Professor Pino is the sweetest person ever!! His class is extremely easy and straight to the point. 2 hw lessons per chapter that you can complete at your own rate. He motivates us by calling us warriors and champions. I love him, he's a 10/10!! You won't regret taking him, trust me!!
I got an A+ in both BSC 2085 and 2086 with him and I wish I could take him for every single class EVER. He cares so much for his students. He sends reminders through email and blackboard messages to complete your hw. You can complete them at your own pace. Always answers your questions and concerns.
He cares about his students and is very positive and encouraging. It is a very easy class and the midterm/final are not proctored. He is extremely organized and all his assignments are on Pearson. If you want an A in anatomy, this is your sign to take him!!!!! He's such an angel, you won't regret taking his class!!!
Dr. Pino is EXTREMELY enthusiastic and wants you to pass and understand the content. His assignments are not difficult and he wants you to pass and is very understanding with his students. I took him on MDC Live and he was amazing. Highly recommended!
There are not enough words that will explain how amazing Dr. Pino is. He is always encouraging his students and just wants the best for them. He is truly a gem! Everyone should take his class, it is definitely a must. He is the BEST.
He is truly a gem! Everyone should take his class, it is definitely a must. He is the BEST.
If you are a visual learner then I highly recommend taking his class! He shows lots of videos and shares real-life applications based on his own experiences in the workforce (he was a doctor in Cuba). He also offers lots of extra credit opportunities, even in the exam.
Professor Pino is a fantastic professor who looks after and listens to his students. He is very easygoing, his assignments are due with lots of time in between to complete them. For this class, his exams were open book and his lectures provide videos to watch. Great professor, would recommend to anyone taking Anatomy and Physiology 1/2!
Amazing professor!!!!!! He gives a lot of time to complete assignments are it is very clear about what he will evaluate in each practicum; sometimes the same questions in the quizzes will be in the practicum. However, this class is not easy and it takes a lot of memorization but if you study the minimum, it is an A
Amazing professor! He explains so good the information! He gives extra credit during lectures and during exam! Best professor! He is always available to answer any question.Would definitely take him again!
Easy class, all done online via pearson mastering. 2 proctored test. and one research paper to write, very easy to get the paper done as he gives an outline of what he wants done, and he is an easy grader. You will be bombarded with reminder emails, but he will work with you with any issue you have. If you want an easy A take him!
Easy A class. My class was blended which meant Monday mandatory on campus, Wednesday live on zoom, Friday optional. He takes attendance via zoom, no camera needed. All work is done via pearson. Midterm and Final done on canvas. He will try his best to work with you and make sure you pass the class.
He is amazing professor.
Please just do yourself the favor and select Professor Pino, he has a 5/5 for a reason. By far the funniest and most motivating teacher I've had at MDC. Super straightforward class that only consisted of assignments on Pearson and midterm/final that were non-proctored. I HIGHLY recommend him!
I took Professor Pino for both of my anatomy classes BSC2085 and 2086. He's the best, cares about his students, and helps with everything. Very motivational and very possible to get an A.
He is a great professor. He will inspire to continue all the way and do a great job. Very respectful and thoughtful. Highly recommend!
Had him for A&P 1 and took him again for A&P 2. I have no regrets! He gives you a lot of resources and is very encouraging! The homework can be time consuming, but he gives you lots of time to complete it. My only thing is that he's a PowerPoint reader, but he also incorperates real life examples, and draws diagrams.
Took his Human A&P online course in the summer of 2023. He answered emails within a timely manner and was very caring. He has a proctored midterm which he provides a study guide for. As long as you study from the guide you will pass. Assignments are easy and are due within a reasonable time.
PLEASE TAKE HIM.... SO EASYYY!!!! Like hw online which is pearson. Many ways you can get points added to your grade by doing catalytics. There is no way you can fail this class. Final & Midterm online not proctored. Chill professor and he helps you get prepared for the TEAS exam .
He is a super sweet and very understanding. I had his class from 7-7:50 and he would get you ready to start the day. His lectures might get a little boring but he will push you to do better.
1 midterm, 1 final, 12 assignments, 12 study modules on pearson. (very easy, enough time) neither test was proctored. Attendance wasn't mandatory, you had to buy the code for pearson. I had this class online so for the first month or so he would ask for the camera on but afterwards he didn't care. He knows what he's talking about, would recommend
Bro this teacher super easy. Just take him. Tbh i dont be going to his class like ever, his hw online super easy and midterm and final super easy. you take him you pass simple. easy A
Very nice professor! Extremely sweet and always in a positive mood. Easy going lectures, a reasonable amount of homework assignments that you can complete at your own time as long as you turn them all in on the due date towards the end of the semester. He will constantly remind you of any deadlines or quizzes. Great teacher, Impossible to fail!
Dr. Alfonso Pino is a great professor. His lectures are very knowledgeable and shows his passion for teaching. He makes the topics much easier to understand. He also gives alot of extra credit which helps boost your grade up. If you have the opportunity take him!!
Amazing professor, he is so kind and knows what he is teaching. Tests are not proctored.
this professor is AMAZING. He made anatomy so interactive and easy to learn, his energy is so pure and he cares a LOT about what he's teaching you and the process of his students.
Hands down one of the best professors I have ever taken. He REALLY cares about what he does and if you're taking this class as a pre req for nursing I HIGHLY recommend taking him. He has unlimited resources for you to pass and succeed in the medical campus and for your TEAS. 10/10 class was easy as well but put the time in to study and itll pay off
Great professor and very passionate. He's also very organized and explains precisely what you must do in his class to succeed.
Professor Pino is super nice and easy to work with. The class is straightforward with simple guidelines and clear assignments. He constantly reminds you of due dates, so you really can't fail if you stay on top of things. One proctored midterm and three unproctored tests. Great class and very supportive professor!
Professor Pino's guidelines are very clear and he repeats them. It is a bit daunting to ask him questions, but as long as you attend lecture and complete your assignments, you will do well. You will need to study outside of classes to actually learn the content.
My favorite Professor so far
Super chill and he's really nice! He provides a lot of resources that you may need if you are doing nursing and his exams are open book. Homework is a lot but he gives plenty of time to complete them so I recommend doing them as soon as possible and don't wait last minute to do them. I recommend Dr. Pino 100%! :D
Goes over zoom presentations during classes that you can access by yourself whenever. Midterm, final, and some homework. Not always an easy class but I would say he makes it easy. Take advantage of study resources!!! He points them out all the time and they're EXTREMELY helpful for the midterm and final!!! "Go science warriors!" is his catchphrase.
He is a sweetheart.. He teaches with powerpoints/videos and is so energetic even in the early morning..genuiely cares about ur grade,helps out in any way...provides plenty of resources to study for the TEAS exam..Semester consits of hw on pearson and mid/final open note..hes impossible to fail as long as you do your work.This is ur sign to TAKE HIM
Dr. Pino is a sweet and energetic professor. His class consists of a few pearson assignments, a midterm, and a final. His class is is hard to fail; you should be able to pass as long as you do the assignments. His teaching style is mostly reading off powerpoints and playing videos.
super kind professor! loves to motivate you, always pushes you, and sends out frequent reminders of any missing hw or assignments so it's almost impossible to fall behind. 100% suggest him, assignments are heavy but not proctored.
