I got an A by studying-at least 10 hours of studying each week- and reading all chapters.

Prof. Al Tahhan goes over everything thoroughly. I would use a computer/tablet for note taking on powerpoint. Makes it easier to know what to study. Lab exams have a review sheet that helps, but going to study in the science center helps more with visual learning. Showing up is important. Always do your mastering hw on time and before the exam.

Great professor but you have to study to review your class, otherwise, you would not pass this class. He is really helpful about the lecture and grading. Also, he is got humour, so you won't be bored in the class. Overall, I would %100 recommend him if you will going to study by yourself after the classes for the class.

Was scared to take A&P but I'm happy I chose this professor. He was understanding and knows his material very well. We would meet once a week and I was able to connect with other students taking the class (y'all know who you are!) so it was helpful. It is hard, but he will try to help you succeed in his class as long as you put theffort in as well.

He knows his material and nice . I would highly recommend a group chat with your classmates. He does encourage participation by asking several question during lecture. sometimes they count towards extra point for the test. So study the material, record lectures, take notes and you will pass. Keep in mind this class is like 2in1, there alot to learn

Dr. Ammar Al Tahhan is an amazing professor. He makes this class very easy to understand and is there to answer questions when you don't. A lot of information but an easy 'A' if you try and go to class. 4 Lecture Exams, 4 Lab Exams, Comprehensive Final, and multiple quizzes and homework. Take him for A&P 1, you won't regret it! He is a true GEM!

I thought all the reviews I read about this professor meant he would be amazing, It was all wrong. I understand that it was a minimester but still. On the final we only got 80 minutes to complete 120 questions which included labeling A LOT of diagrams. So he expects us to read and answer/label the questions in 40 secs to finish the final in time.

Lots of homework

If you want to learn WELL about anatomy that 's the class you HAVE TO take, you need to study HARD. Highly organized & efficient in all materials & you learn A&P systemically . If you follow all provided materials, not only you will learn from depth but also will get a good score. Thank you Lonestar for providing such a knowledgeable professor.

Prof. T. is a great professor for many people! For me, his style of teaching is very difficult to learn. Of course, A&P is hard so you would need to do self-teaching outside of his lectures. But overall, if you are passionate about the healthcare field then you will do fine. He makes his lectures uplifting during a 3 hr lecture which I appreciate!

A&P is such a difficult class in of itself, but Prof T makes it more interesting & always relates content back to real patient cases from his own clinical experience, which is so helpful to remember bits of information. He's organized, assigns HW & 1-2 quizzes a week, & tests about every other week. Study hard & it should pay off!

Professor Al Tahhan is very organized and professional. His lectures are straight to the point and excellent. He covers everything you need to know to pass this class. I recommend taking him for ANY course that he's offering.

I finally got my grade, and it was an A-. But this class requires so much time and effort. I was so stressed and lost sleep due to this course! This class made me want to change my major. Of course, it was not Prof. T.'s fault. I would say, he is one of the better prof. to choose from to take. But sadly, he is not coming back upcoming semester! :')

We had 4 Lecture Exams, 4 Lab Exams, and 1 Final Exam. Pretty standard to be honest for BIOL2401. Just make sure to communicate with Dr.A. He's willing to help if you're willing to communicate.

Honestly this was a great professor. He is accessible if you have a question. One time I accidently started a quiz thinking it was the homework assignment, and he was nice enough to open it back up for me to take when I was ready. Only complaint is that there is a lot of homework and quizzes on connect.
