By far the best teacher I have ever had. He is willing to help and makes class fun. Very easy going teacher.
Very fun teacher, really cares about his students and wants them to do well while having fun. Definitely take him for lab if you can!
Wonderful teacher for Anatomy/Phys lab!!!!!!!
Best teacher ever. Makes lab fun and teaches the material good which makes us learn it. I recommend him to people taking A&P,,
I think he's the best professor teaching Anatomy 1. He makes the material easy to understand and his lectures are clear and interesting. I hope I get him again next semester. I highly recommend him to other people.
Prof. Anthony Decristofaro is an amazing professor. He teaches students tough material but yet it feels so easy. He is so smart and easy going that students want to do well. I was actually excited to take all his exams. Just go to class and don't miss a class.
Great teacher. I had him for lecture second semester after having another for first semester. What a difference. I actually understood the material with Anthony. I recommend him to everyone taking A&P. Best lecture teacher around. Actually enjoyed going to class. Who would've thought that? lol
I took A&P I Summer lab & actually enjoyed it. Anthony is clear & concise in explaining the material. He's also hands-on in lab, making sure that each student has grasped the material in class. He's funny & tries to make concepts understandablerelatable to students. It was a blast going to this class everyday!
Anthony is awesome!! Lab is difficult and you HAVE to study for your lab quizzes but I took him both for A&P I and A&P II and he is super helpful!! He knows what he is talking about and can help you with anything. He is also super friendly and makes lab interesting. I definitely felt like I was prepared for the practicals we took and I did well.
Anthony id the best professor at Sacred Heart. he makes learning the material easy and interesting. If I had him for lecture and lab last year I wouldn't be taking it now over the summer. But I am sure glad I have this awesome guy now. Take Anthony if you want to do well and actually learn something.
Anthony is a really nice guy, however he does not explain things well at all in lab. He expects you to figure everything out on your own and if you ask a question he says "i don't know" forcing you to try and figure it out. If you say "is this right?" he says "i don't know." Quizzes are the hardest out of all lab teachers for a&p.
Anthony is the best lab prof for AP. He really makes us work in class to learn the material. Quizzes are a bit tough, but the only reason why I got an A in lab was because I had to study for the quizzes. I really liked the group work that we did because it helped us learn faster and better. Definitely take Anthony if you want to pass with an A!
AMAZING! I loved going to lab. I learned so much fun information and it made learning AP relatively easy. I can honestly say I cannot wait until spring with this guy. If you want to pass AP here, TAKE ANTHONY!
I love Anatomy, lab and Anthony! Great guy, super smart professor and makes lab interesting. Forces us to learn in lab which really helps to study for quizzes and lab exams. I was lucky enough to get him again for spring. My suggestion is to take Anthony if you want to do well.
Anthony is a pretty good teacher, he's very smart. But he definitely makes you work for your grade. My downfall in his class was that his quizzes were very hard and sometimes hard to understand. Another thing was it was hard to be able to meet with him because he is only on campus one day a week so it restricted his office hours.
Anthony is an awesome lab professor. I had him in the fall and am taking him again in the spring. If you go see him before and after classes he is extremely helpful. He clarified any confusion I had, which helped me get an A. I wouldn't take anyone else. Quizzes are tough, but they got me ready for the lab exams. I did better thanks to this.
Great professor. Knows what he is talking about. The lab lectures are a bit long, but they really help me for lecture and lecture tests. He is very enthusiastic and makes learning fun and interesting. Put in the work and it is not hard to get an A! Highly recommend!!
I absolutely love him!! He is very smart and helpful. He gives tips and tricks on how to memorize things and study for both lecture and lab. 10/10 would recommend!
Great lab professor. I started the semester with another lab instructor and ended up switching into Anthony's lab. So glad I switched! He explains everything clearly and really know what he is talking about. Super helpful. Best AP prof. at SHU! definitely take Anthony to pass! I got an A n lab! Wish he taught lecture too!
Great Prof!! Really smart and cares abut his students. Takes labs with Anthony, helpful, wants students to succeed, and always friendly and supportive.
Anthony is the best lab teacher ever! He comes off as slightly intimidating at first but he is very fun and makes the content interesting. His quizzes are hard but doable and he prepares you for them.
Anthony is an amazing lab professor for A&P. He is extremely knowledgeable about the material and breaks down complex things into something understandable. He is hilarious and I wish I could take him again but definitely take him if you can.
The BEST anatomy lab professor you can take! He is relatable, funny, and super nice guy! Anthony makes a 3 hour lab fly by. He is always there for help no matter what time it is. Available through every kind of communication you can think of. Quizzes are easy and he truly cares about each student.
Anthony came to teach our class one week in. He came right in and k ew what he was doing. I was nervous at first having a new professor, but Anthony made me feel comfortable and really understood the material and helped to answer questions. I liked him so much I am signing up for his AP 2 summer class. Great professor and knowledgeable.
GREAT PROF! Even though the class is online, his meetings are fun, helpful and clear. I'm doing so much better this class than I did in June for AP1. Lectures are clear and I love that he records them. I listen before I go to bed, which really helps me learn. Highly recommended. A+
Great professor. Constantly sent us messages during the weekend letting us know what was due and what was coming up. Helped to keep us informed. We suffered loss of power and Anthony was real understanding and constantly changed dates to help us during this time. Was really kind and always asked us how we were doing. Love this guy!
Amazing lectures. Anthony really knows what he is talking about. He is very specific in details with his lectures and stresses important information. He is available to meet regularly to discuss my progress in the course and give me feedback and study tips. I got 98 on the first lecture exam. THANKS PROF! Best at SHU!!
Great professor! Lectures are fun and engaging. He pays a lot of attention to details, which was important for me with these hybrid classes. I needed the structure. He makes the material easy to learn with great analogies and stories. Great study tips to do well, friendly and always willing to meet with students. Taking again in the Spring with him
AMAZING... AMAZING... professor. Lectures are clear and detailed. He explains things easily and in a way that makes sense. I actually look forward to going to class each week. Best prof. around. I do not have him for lab. But I recommend best prof. for lecture!
easy grader but not a good prof. He made you feel dumb when you have questions and honestly went too fast - had to teach myself all of it, chose a different professor this semester and I feel much more confident in my work. He's not the worst but I would not take him again
AWESOME is the only word to explain this prof. Lectures are fun, he is animated, clear and well explained. He spent lots of time reviewing material to make sure we knew what was going on in class. I hear horror stories from other lectures. Our class always does well because Anthony cares! I recommend ++
Anthony is fire!!! I meet with him weekly. Very helpful, helps with study tips and helps to get me good grades. Lectures are fun and interesting. Wouldnt take anyone else.
Great lab professor. I had someone different for AP1 and Anthony really is a star. He takes time to make sure we know everything. Is very detailed and explains things clearly. I got a C- in AP1 and am now at an A with Anthony. Best at SHU by far!!
Best professor at SHU.. PERIOD!! You can tell he really loves his job. He is real smart a d lectures connect with students and he makes it so easy to understand. He does move quickly, but if you pay attention and ask questions you will do well.
I think I am going to end up with a B+ in this class. Much better than I did last semester with another instructor. Anthony has helped me learn the right way to study and my grades went up by 20+ points this semester. He really cares and spend a lot of his time making sure I was succeeding. He really cares about his students!! Must take Anthony!!
Amazing lecture. So interesting and fun. Anthony keeps everyone engaged during lecture and really spends time making sure that we know the info. Review sessions are great with him, as he goes over important points and concepts for the exams. I would not take anyone else.
Awesome professor. Super helpful and great lectures. He really knows how to engage the students in his class. Lectures are so fun and interesting people always asking questions. Full of excitement. Can tell he loves teaching this stuff.
Best professor I could've ask for. Anatomy Lab was my favorite because of his class. You're stupid if you chose not to take his class. 10/10
Great professor. Lectures were clear and always interesting. I highly recommend this prof for AP. Best at this university. I switched into his section for spring. I was completely lost in the fall with another prof. I received a C- with her and an A with Anthony. Couldn't have done it without this prof!!
I have Anthony for lecture & lab. I highly recommend taking the same prof for both. It helps to understand the material and matches. His lectures are great. he always is understanding & really knows this material. Ask questions as he likes when people talk and get engaged in his class. I sit in the front row which he likes to talk to before class
He just walks around and hopes you understand what your doing when you don't. Great man, super funny, and sweet, but not great at lab
Amazing lab instructor. Makes you work very hard but it pays off in the end. Always made lab fun and entertaining with all his funny stories. I highly recommend taking Anthony because he actually teaches the lab unlike a lot of the other lab instructors.
TAKE HIM!!! I had him for lecture for A&P and he is the best. His lectures are very heavy but that is no matter who you have since A&P is all lecture based. He talks fast so be ready to type fast to keep up but he gives good hints to remember things and his lectures are enjoyable. He also has a YouTube channel which is really helpful for some chs.
Anthony was always available for help outside of class. I met with him regularly during his office hours, which helped me greatly to learn to how organize and study. Lectures were clear and he explained things simply and clearly. Best professor at SHU. I wouldnt take anyone else!
Love love love Anthony!! Great lecture and lab professor. Really cares about his students and knows AP. Lectures are fun and full of information. He knows what he is talking about so do not be shy to ask questions. He makes you work hard for your grade, but it is totally worth it as it will help ahead. Highly recommend Anthony for AP!!
Anthony is the best lecture professor at SHU. He makes lectures easy to learn and understand. He has tons of office hours for extra help. I ended with a B+, but this is great because I started after the first exam with a D. He helped me all the way. I also had him for Friday 8am lab. Soooo helpful, smart and makes lab interesting.
This is a great professor. He is clear on what we need to study. lectures are interesting and to the point. I meet with Anthony every week to discuss the review guide. Went from a C last semester with another professor to an A- on the first exam. He has great tips and tricks to study the right way and SUCCEED!
ONE WORD! AWESOME!! Anthony is a great prof and lectures are interesting as he draws a lot of hospital analogies and experiences into lecture. His analogies and ways he says his lectures are excellent for learning and doing good on exams. I highly recommend Anthony for Lecture!
his lectures are GREAT!!! i took him both semesters because of how good he is.
Awesome professor. He has worked with me twice a week during office hours to get my studying and material down pat. I went from a D+ in the beginning of the semester to an A- with his help. I can't thank Anthony enough for making my dreams of becoming a nurse come true. I love this guy!
His lectures didn't go with what we were learning, I had a very hard time on the exams. The only reason I passed was because of a different professors reviews. I heard he was good but wasn't impressed. He makes lectures funny & tells story but doesn't cover what will be on the exam. Overall made the semester a lot harder. Thought myself everything.
I switched into Anthony's lecture from another prof. Lectures were clear and precisely delivered to give us the information to succeed on exams. I got an A in his lecture compared to a C+ in the Fall. Review sheets are extremely helpful as they narrow the information for the exam. Lectures were interesting & his love for teaching is always evident.
I just completed a whole year with Anthony. I cried leaving the final exam tonight. I will miss this class & instructor so much. Best AP professor at Sacred Heart. I don't think I would've passed w/out Anthony's help through out the year. Between weekly office hour visits, to the saturday and sunday face times. he is always available to help!!
TAKE ANTHONY IF YOU CAN!! He's the best professor for A&P hands down. I got a C- in A&P II with a different professor and got a B in A&P because of him. I was nervous to take him at first but he's amazing and you won't regret it. His lectures are easy to understand and he's such a caring professor.
BEST A&P PROF EVER! At first it was hard to get used to how fast he wet through the powerpoints but he always focused on the important info and explained things really well. He will always stay after class if you have any questions. The class before an exam would be a review which was super helpful. TAKE HIM!!
Absolute best AP professor!! I owe my A to Anthony. He has a great teaching style. Bring awesome and funny clinical stories into lectures. They go by fast and are interesting.
my fav professor by far. he is so funny and teaches well, very easy to pay attention to.
Nicest and smartest Prof. I have met. I'm not even in his class and he let's me sit in his lectures. My prof. i have for lecture is horrible, but Anthony has been a savior as he allows me to ask questions and see him for extra help. This teacher really cares about his students and others not even in his class. Highly recommend!!
Great professor. Clear and concise on what he lectures and what is on exams. Makes lectures fun and interesting and really helps to understand. Expect to put work in this class as it is demanding, but if you go see him, he will help. Nice guy and best prof at SHU.
Anthony is probably the best teacher Ive had. He makes lecture so fun and I love going. Anatomy is obvi not easy but he does a good job simplifying it. DON'T TELL UR FRIENDS HOW GOOD HE IS. I made that mistake so now I'm afraid I wont get him next semester. Go to all of his lectures.
Anthony is very knowledgeable about all the information he teaches and is always willing to help. The material was hard but I learned a lot from his class. He is also very funny and personable and makes class time go fast. Offers good advice and always a friendly face to see around. he is the most welcoming teacher here because everyone else sucks!
He is a very nice guy and easy to talk to. He makes his lectures fun to sit though because he cracks jokes and interacts with his students while teaching. His powerpoints have all the information you need to study. Class isn't mandatory but if you miss a class you might be a little lost.
Best AP professor at SHU. Most sought after teacher at SHU. Lectures are informative and clear. Expectations for exams are clear cut. Anthony involves the class during lectures, which helps to answer questions and keep everyone awake. This is the one class I actually enjoy and look forward to going to. REGISTER EARLY!! His class filled in 1 hour.
He likes to talk, He likes to talk alot and if you don't pay attention to every detail you might as well start organizing your schedule to look up everything you need to know online and form study groups. As a part-time professor he takes his position super serious and if you don't do exactly what he says you will not even come close to pass.
Anthony is an awesome instructor. Lectures are great, clear and cover what we need to know. He really cares about his class, students and the success of us. He sent us great messages throughout the semester. It really motivated us and showed us he cares about us. Class fills up quickly. Tom Brady of AP instructors.
Best AP prof at SHU. I went to office hours with Anthony all the time and my grade. I improved from exam to exam. I passed this class thanks to this awesome guy! Super friendly, lectures are amazing, and tests are exactly on what we talk about in class. Extremely personable, friendly and caring for his students.
If you set up your schedule to have office hours with him more than once a week you are set. If not then you better be ready to do some heavy work. You have to go straight to the source to pass this course. No room to fail.
I have to thank Anthony for all he did for me this semester. He really helped me learn how to study. My grades improved greatly from the beginning. He sends inspirational remains every week. Love him
Awesome professor. Anthony is the most caring and kind professor I've had so far. He really makes sure his students understand the material and does well. I did extremely well because of his teaching style. Thank You SO MUCH Anthony! Taking again in the spring.
Anthony is a great AP professor. He is kind and caring and really likes to get to know his students. Most sought after professor at SHU. His class filled up on the first day of registration. If I wasn't an honor student I wouldn't have gotten into his class. So thankful for this teacher!
Oh my gosh. I love this man. Anthony really made me feel so comfortable going into nursing at SHU. I love how he teaches and the tests are much like his lectures. He is so nice, caring, and respectful. He wants everyone to do their best and pass the class. You will pass if you put in the effort and time for anatomy. He is awesome. I love him.
I have Anthony for lab. He is an excellent teacher. He spends time teaching us the material. He quizzes us to make sure we know everything. I like this because it forces me to learn the material. I know exactly what to study when I'm at home or at CLA's. I recommend Anthony as he is the most highly sought after Professor at SHU!
Probably one of the best professors I have ever had at SHU. He is always available to meet before and after class to answer questions. He even helps me with my lab stuff, even though I am not in his lab. Most caring and thoughtful prof I've had. He mde learning A&P easy, fun and interesting. He kept our attentions going in lecture.
Why can't Anthony teach other classes at SHU? He is the best professor ever. This is the one class I actually like going to. I have never missed a class yet this semester. Last semester I had another professor that was horrible and I didn't learn anything. Because of Anthony, my grade went from a 68 first semester to a 91 second semester with him
Where do I begin? He is the best professor I've ever had. He is so so good at explaining anatomy and is the reason why I would show up for class. You can get by if you just read the slideshows but it is definitely worth going in to hear his explanations. The man is a god.... a genius. My grade went from 77.5 last semester to A. TAKE THIS CLASS
OMG!! I love this teacher so much!! He is the best and truly cares about his students. He helped me improve so much in A&P and is always willing to help. Do whatever you can to take him!!
TAKE HIM!!!! i owe my A to him. i had a different professor first semester and failed it and i'm retaking it over the summer with him because of how amazing he is. he genuinely explains things and brings in funny stories to help stay engaged. last class before exam is a review and he gives you everything you need to know. always available for help.
OMG OMG OMG, I want Anthony babies! this man is brilliant and the best Professor in Higher Education Hands down. I hope he stays and doesn't get scooped up by Yale. He is the best I will always remember all of the fun engaging things we did in class. I can't wait to see what he teaches next year. Ask your Dept chair to get into his section
TAKE HIM. Makes anatomy so much less painful. Tough class of course bc of how much content there is, but he cares about his students and explains things in such a perfect way. His classes consistently had the highest average exam scores
Anthony is an amazing prof, especially for lab. He gives you little tricks to make things stick in your head. He is so funny and unserious at times but manages to get stuff done every lab. He's split between SHU and Fairfield but its still so easy to reach him when you need help. 110% would take him again. Owe my success in this class to him.
10000% take him. Had him for both lab and lecture this semester, and in both classes he very hands-on and brings positive energy to each class. His acronyms and cheat codes are always hilarious, and they stick in your head for texts and exams. Powerpoints for lecture are better than any other professors' slides that I have seen.
Anthony is a great prof and very helpful! I had him for A&P 2 Lab and he really made sure we understood the anatomy and is very funny. Though he does come to every table and quiz everyone and won't move onto dissection to microscopes until everyone has a basic understanding of where everything is, which was annoying, but helpful! 10/10
I struggled so much taking A&P 1 so I took Anthony's class for A&P 2 lecture and lab and that was the best decision I could have made. A&P is a difficult course but his teaching style makes it easy to follow along and understand what you need to know. He is clear about what to expect on exams and actually cares about his students.
He is the best! I took him over the summer for both lecture and lab and it was the best. Lectures were long but he made them go quickly then started lab immediately after lecture ended so we got out in half the time. He made references to his clinical experience. He will always joke around with you. Really good at helping you learn the lab content.
Anthony is absolutely amazing! His lectures are so engaging and that is so important for a 5 pm class. He makes everything make sense. Couldn't recommend him enough!!!
TAKE HIS CLASS! He's actually the best anatomy teacher ever and such a good person. He's good at explaining and wants you to do well in the class.
I had him for anatomy I lecture and he was SO great!! The class isn't mandatory, and if you miss it, it's not hard to catch up as long as you look over the lecture you missed. He is super accessible for extra help and questions, and he makes the class entertaining.
Amazing teacher. Made anatomy very easy. Hilarious teacher and very easy to relate to. 100% recommend taking.
the best anatomy lecture teacher. taking him again next semester. just explains things so well and they stick in your head. so accessible outside of class. love him
AMAZING!! So enjoyable to take for AP 1 lab. He made lab so enjoyable/fun well learning difficult material. He is very accessible outside of class and will answer almost immediately. For practicals he prepares you to his best ability, he wants you to succeed. He grades them within almost 20 minutes after to hand in your paper to not make you wait.
Anthony is such a good professor and really cares about all of his students! His lectures were very engaging and he often told funny stories which made time go by fast. Before each exam, his review session were very helpful and clearly outlined everything that would be on the exam! I would defiantly take him again!
Great lab teacher and really funny. He did a great job explaining everything and went around and quizzed us. He graded quizzes and practicals within 20 minutes of taking them.
I. LOVE. THIS. MAN. did well on all the exams. He is amazing, funny, and he makes it fun. He is there to help and genuinely wants the best for his students. I am obsessed with him. Take him. He is awesome. I am obsessed with him. Amazing.
He made lecture interesting but he teaches you ALOT of extra material that is unnecessary so when it comes to studying for the exam you might feel overwhelmed with how much you need to know.
Anthony is a great teacher, one of those teachers that push you academically but you are grateful for. He keeps lecture interesting and talks in an engaging way. He makes the course relatable and is always doing everything he can to help you understand the course material. Hilarious, would recommend him to anyone.
The GOAT of anatomy. He is hands down the best teacher i've ever had.
TAKE HIM! He is amazing for anatomy lab, and if you want to pass, he is the best professor to take. He wants all of his students to succeed and be confident on all the practicals and he will go above and beyond to ensure that each student has the ability to do so. he cares about each and every one of his students.
A&P lab is a teach yourself class but he makes sure to go above and beyond to make sure you remember everything before you leave class. Such an amazing professor and person. Every lab was a comedy show with a side of anatomy models because he's so funny. I hate mornings and gladly woke up at 8am to go to lab.
The best professor I have had. Anatomy is a hard class, and he makes it understandable. Makes his lectures fun, seem quick, and tries to bring in modern-day concepts. He is always giving resources to help prepare for the exams, along with his lectures that stick in your brain. Such an awesome professor, take him!
great prof for a&p i took him for 1 and 2. I would definitley recommend him to anyone. he just explains things very well and he is just an amazing prof overall.
BEST TEACHER EVER!!!!!! had him for a&p lab and loved him so much. he has a great teaching style and ensures you know the information while in class so that studying is extremely easy and by the time you take the exam you know the information extremely well. Take him if you can!!!
I took a summer course to ease my regular semester load, but it had a negative impact on my GPA. The instructor, though knowledgeable, graded rigorously. Despite putting in significant effort, I earned a 79—just one point short of the B I needed—with no chance to improve the final grade.
Professor Decristofaro was a fabulous teacher! I had him this past spring for A&P II. I found him to be an extremely fair teacher with an excellent teaching style. He made this class extremely engaging and materials were very organized. He is also very enjoyable during class. I high recommend him!
I had Professor Decristofaro for A&P Lab both semesters and he was great. He cares about his students and makes lab more fun. I would definitely take him again!
Amazing AP professor. I took Anthony during this summer session. He truly made class time fly by. lectures were clear and straightforward. Exams were not tricky and were on the material he covered. Had to spend a lot of time for this class, but I sacrificed my summer a bit and got the A I wanted.
Great professor. A&P is going to be very hard no matter who you have, but that being said he was kind and made lectures more interesting. He would go to lengths to make sure the class understands the material, cares about his students grades, and trys to add humor to his lectures where he can. Very nice guy.
He is so funny and nice but the class is super hard. There's no room for error in this class like its either your right or wrong and thats it. I did really like him though.
I really liked him, and his lectures were good and engaging. He is also funny and super helpful outside of class. A&P itself is challenging, but he's a good teacher and makes it easier. If you study using the practice tests and homework, you should be good.
I had him for lecture before he was removed from the school, but I thought he was great and had a great way of teaching. If you do the APLL sessions you can get extra points to which helps. All of the exams were multiple choice and pretty straight forward.
