Because of my dreadful biology experience in high school, I was EXTREMELY nervous about this class. I was tense when I first walked into the classroom, but then the professor came in and totally changed everything for me. Downright hilarious and nothing like your typical science teacher - in fact, he even mocks them sometimes.
All together, Professor Palermo is a honest and easy to talk to individual, his methods of teaching is second to nun and you actually learn what is going on in the class.
Dr Palermo is a wonderful professor!
Amazing class, great lectures with alot of humor and stories to help remember facts and information. Great guy caring and happy
Amazing class, great lectures with alot of humor and stories to help remember facts and information
My favorite science professor ever!!! Ill have fond memories of you looking back when Im older. Thanks mr p
One of the best science teachers I had on my entire life. There was no moment of me not wanting to attend class just because he narrow exactly what you needed for the exams.
Dr. Palermo is a pleasure to be around. He is caring and really takes the time to get close to his students in every class. I dreaded having to take a science class after having a horrible experience in high school, but he really made it very enjoyable for me. I 100% recommend him to anyone that needs to take a science for their major.
When it came to the lectures they were hilarious and because of that I will always remember them. Another thing I like about him is that he is willing to help you out when you need the help. I also learned alot of amazing facts such as lactose being a sugar being found in milk.
best professor I have ever had, although he makes it easier to understand, you still get lesson and life lessons to leave with, he is very funny and cut clear to the point. "there it is"
Would definitely recommend Palermo if you need a science class. He makes the class worth showing up for.
10/10 recommend. Most fun class I've taken. He understands how to keep students interested in lectures and makes you laugh more than you have in you're life. The only class I got excited to go to everyday.
Honestly the best class I have taken so far at NCC I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a science elective and make sure you take it with him.
Hes very down to earth and will work with you as long as you work with him.
This professor is the best biology professor at Northampton. Consider taking this guy because he will make sure that you love biology. ����
The absolute best professor Ive ever had. I absolutely hate science but Professor Palermo makes this class the best and super easy. You would be making a huge mistake if you dont take his class!
Great person in and out of the classroom. Makes the lectures fun and not boring. Would definitely recommend taking him. You will not regret it.
Palermo is the best bio prof here at Northampton, not like the other hardo professors.
The bomb diggity, makes morning class and writing intensive bio fun seem less like hell.
Amazing professor. Makes it fun while still getting us to know the material. Definitely would take him again in the future.
First of all he is hilarious, he really helps the student pass the class and gives extra credits a lot.
Palermo is an amazing professor. The one thing that I learned from him that hit me was when he said, "stress is knowing what's right but doing what's wrong" it really made me think about a lot of things in life. He's also super hilarious and very fair with grades.
One of the funniest professors I have ever had! Def recommend taking his class... Super fair in grading and truly cares about his students.
I never really enjoyed/did well in science classes growing up. Not until I took this class did I start to really enjoy it. Professor Palermo is an awesome and makes going to class a good time. Not only are you learning, but also having a good time and a good laugh, which makes class memorable. If you have the opportunity definitely take his class!!
I was never big into partaking into the sciences, but Professor T was awesome at using different technics at getting to better learn and understand topics. He made it a fun class that was easy to enjoy his lectures. Would definitely recommend! From a final semester NCC student.
Palermo was the best biology professor that I have ever had. He is very clear in the fact that you have to put in the effort. He is willing to work with you as long as your willing to put in the effort. His class is a must I wouldn't skip that class for the world. He always finds a way to make it fun and interesting. He's a great professor!!!!!!!!
I didnt like science at all in high school and now I realize it was the teachers because Palermo makes it fun and gets you laughing fast. It being the end of the semester I can say that I like science and I never thought I would ever say those words. During his lectures he likes to be relatable to his students.
Dr. P is one of the best professors at NCC. He knows how to make science interesting. He is very knowledgeable, caring, and down to earth. If you want to pass his class put in the effort! I would recommend him and would love to have him as a professor again !
I have never enjoyed science as much as I have in Professor Palermo class. He made science relatable, knowledgeable, and an overall awesome experience. I am really hoping I can take him again for Basics of Human Anatomy.
He is such a great teacher he helps people and have such a great connection with the students
Best science professor Ive had. His class was fun and we learned what we needed to. He well prepared us for the tests. Definitely take his bio class
He is really funny and loved his class. Always tried to make us laugh and learned so that the context won't be boring for some of the students.
He is my first science teacher who made it fun and enjoyable. I enjoyed going to class to learn and found myself doing really well on the test and quizzes. I would recommend him to all of my friends!!!!! Great professor
great professor, connects with the students.
Dr. Palermo is the best, his class is wayyyy well worth it. I advise everyone to take this class if your interested in bio.
Hes very understanding. The class is scheduled and we get ample time to study for tests and quizzes.
He's awesome
One of the best professors I have ever taken! Actually learned and passed with ease. As long as you show up and do the work its an easy A!
Palermo is awesome!!
I honestly am not a very big fan of Bio. But when I heard of Anthony Palermo class and how fun it is I decided to take the class and let me tell you that this was the best decision Ive made this semester. The way he teaches is so good, he clarifies every subject and helps you understand it. Also, his stories and joke are hysterical! TAKE HIS CLASS
As long as you put effort to attend important classes and go to lab ALWAYS there should be no reason why you can't pass this biology class. I HATE science and struggle with it but I am passing with an A.
One of the best professors I have ever had, engages the class and makes it fun and easy to learn Bio
The Dr. Tony Anthony Palermo is the best professor I have ever seen, once you attend and do you homework, you will have higher chance to receive good grade. He is very kind and humor, all my classmates like him.
I'd definitely Recommend this professor! If you only have to take this class to meet your majors requirement this is the guy you want. He's completely self-aware it's why most of us are there. So he doesn't expect you to know or even care much on the subject. Knowing that, he makes the lectures and labs extremely simple(easy) and fun. Take him!
Anthony is an inspiration! I may nurse for a few years thren become an AP prof because of this man.
Professor Palermo teaches in a unique way that makes learning easy and fun. A&P II can be a challenging subject and its always fun to come to class with Professor Palermo. Would recommend 100%
Would definitely take this professor again. Great A & P teacher! The material was learned very fast because I took it in the summer session, but he made it more fun to come to class in the morning for a few hours. He uses humor to help you understand the learn the material.
Professor Palermo is great!!!! He teaches A&P with a great mindset and looks out for his students!
I had a great experience in this class, was expecting it to be a challenge since it was a summer class but he made everything very clear ! If you review your notes and stay after to study for the lab exams you will end up with a good grade. Defiantly recommend and would take again
Go to class and study the notes from class for lecture. For lab, follow the lab book for identification and information based questions. He does give easy stress free pop quizzes. Overall Dr. Palermo is a phenomenal professor, I highly recommend. He is always willing to help. He has a great teaching style and I always leave his class with a smile!
Awesome professor!!! I was very nervous to take A&P in the summer but professor Palermo teaches with such a great mindset to the subject and really looks out for his students.
Dr. Palermo is hands down, one of the best professors I've ever taken. He really cares about his students, and the only person you could blame for not doing well in his course in yourself. He's extremely fair, and is always willing to explain anything you might not understand.
If you show up read his material and follow his guidance, the least scientifically inclined person will pass. Best professor Ive had at any college. His teaching style aligns with my way of learning and he will make you laugh which leads to what you learn sticking with you. It is an intense summer course YOU HAVE TO READ THE MATERIAL. Stay late
I was so nervous to take A&PII in the summer because of how difficult the course is; however, Dr. Palermo made this class so fun. Even though it was an 8am course, I never dreaded coming to class. He engages the class with his stories and dry sense of humor lol. 10/10 would recommend; don't let it being a summer course scare you away!
Dr. P is by far one of the best professors I've had. Makes hard material simple to learn and very applicable to the real world and health field. Most take class with him if possible.
Dr. Palermo definitely knows his stuff. He expects you to attend lectures, but he keeps them entertaining. He is reasonable with expectations, but also remembers that he is human too - he doesn't want to sit in class all day either. If you are the type of person who likes material related to real life examples, you will do well in this class.
Clear, concise, straight forward, captivating lectures that are relatable and realistic. Excellent lectures.
Dr. Palermo is a great professor! He makes learning enjoyable and understanding . I am so happy I took him.
he is such an awesome professor! he made the lectures very interesting and funny. he always incorporated stories and real life situations to make the information more understandable.
Awesome professor. One of the best at Northampton. Be ready to work for your grade though, very afimit about you knowing your stuff. Know notes inside and out and be ready to STUDY! Otherwise he makes class a fun learning environment and is VERY willing to help if needed. He truly wants you to succeed but you have to do the work.
One of the best professors I've ever had! He really relates the material to real life experience and uses humor to educate!
He actually cares about his students. He will do everything in his power to help you get through this course.
An actual icon. Wanted to die throughout the class but its not because of him. He is straightforward with the information and doesnt do the vague maybe you need to know this. Highly recommend people take him for Anatomy with him. Just dont ever take it in the summer. 10/10 guy though.
He is a great professor that makes a class that should be a nightmare relatively easy to get through. I took A&P 1 in the spring and it was insane. Then took the class in the summer with palmero and it was alot better. He points out exactly what you need to focus on and gives alot of opportunity for points with easy pop quizzes. Tests are not bad.
This professor is hilarious in every lecture! Be aware to put in mad work and have your ass kicked by the class. All and all, he is the best professor for this class at Northampton.
He is really passionate about what he teaches. He really wants his student to grow interest in the human body and also be passionate. He really tries to peak everybody's interest and make things fun and interesting.
A&P in a summer session is never a good idea but Dr. Tony made it bearable. He is so funny with his lectures which also helps with memorizing the material. Some answers are from the book while others are straight from the notes. Show up everyday and show him youre trying hard and hell throw you a few bones for the test. Love him!
Awesome professor.
Dr Palermo is a great teacher but you must really put in the time and effort for your grade. This is basically like having a second job but he's one of the best !
I didn't quite know what I was getting into with an accelerated Anatomy and Physiology course, but I got so lucky with Palermo as my professor. The class is really, really hard bc of the huge amount of info to learn in a short period of time, but he really bends over backwards to give his students their best possible shot at doing well.
This professor was great and extremely clear and straight to the point. He literally tells you this is what you have to study for but be prepared to study your butt off. Hes gives awesome advise and help when asked for it. Overall, I would definitely take a class with him again!
He is well versed and cares about his students, attending lecture and actually fun and I didn't dread it like most science heavy clinical classes.
Had him for a summer session, lots of material in a short time requiring you to put actual effort toward class. However he is a good guy, funny, makes class interesting and relatable. Great knowledge of the material and teaches what you'll need to know in the real world. Will take in consideration your effort. Would take again.
He's VERY reasonable and doesn't require as much as your typical anatomy professor, he understands the plight of his student in regards to the fact that they have lives outside of the classroom, but he certainly won't "cheap" or skimp on the lessons. He knows how to keep his student's attention and makes the class very entertaining and fun.
Dr. Palermo lectures are the best, he is also an approachable professor. Be aware of the pop quizzes!
Best professor you can take at NCC! Super helpful and really cares about the students. If youre not a science person, this class is for you. He explains everything well and makes sure you have a clear understanding. TAKE THE CLASS!!
Anthony is great a professor, he cares for his students and actually know how to teach biology. If you need a good biology teacher hes the man for you !
A really great professor who makes learning incredibly fun (by incorporating hilarious jokes and puns in class) and is a just an overall really kind professor. He outlines the important notes which makes studying for his test easier, and he genuinely cares about his students. 5/5 professor!
Anthony Palermo is the greatest professor I have ever had. He is truly amazing and easy to talk to. He keeps things interesting and truly wants you to pass. He keeps you going. Real easy class I almost didn't take his class, but I read some of his 105 ratings and I just had to check it out.
Dr. T is the best professor Ive had to date! He truly cares about his students. He makes every effort to present the info in a way thats easy to understand. He applies everything that has to be taught to a real life experience. His personality & knowledge help make a difficult subject enjoyable. I highly recommend taking any class he teaches!
Professor Palermo is the most down to earth professor. He really takes his students in consideration and makes sure everyone is understanding the subject. Bio has never been an easy subject, but Professor Palermo goes in a lot of detail with his lectures which helps. His tests and lab quizzes are very straight foward. I highly recommend him!
best professor i will have in my college life, gets straight to the point with everything, all work is clear and manageable, gives you real life tips that are very helpful.
Easy class, he is a great guy do the work and you will pass with an easy A
Great professor! Very understanding, helpful and knows what he is talking about. I wouldnt question anything he says.
Anthony Palermo is a funny, caring, and always offer good feedback. I would definitely take his class again , or persuade a friend to take his course.
Is amazing caring and easy going! Definitely would take again!
He makes sure we pass the class, he makes it so that we remember stuff on when it comes time to take a test. Lab is super fun too. He's a great professor!!
his class is a lot of fun and hes a really good guy. hes one of the best at ncc
He is the GOAT professor at NCC. He gives notes to you on powerpoint, but he couldnt make the lectures more fun. He is hilarious and makes learning the knowledge fun and easy. Tests are easy if you look over your notes he gives you. The view papers we had were very easy, just do them and you will receive a good grade. Labs just show up.
Dr. T is great and really gets to know his students. He has very funny lectures but only teaches select material that you need to memorize for tests, so I didnt really learn a lot. Its easy to do well as long as you show up for exams. I missed a presentation due to a very bad illnes and even emailed him before class and I still got a zero for it.
I was SO WORRIED about taking biology because I'm not a science person, but Dr. Palermo made it so much fun and simple! He made the lectures relate to real life and provided funny ways to remember things for tests. I wouldn't recommend taking biology with anyone but him!
He is amazing! It is always nerve wracking taking a science because they can be hard, but he makes it easy and is super helpful. I loved taking this class and I learned a lot.
Dr. Palermo is an amazing and caring Professor
This was my first semester with Professor Palermo. He is very caring about his students and makes sure that we succeed in this class. His class is always interesting and he is very knowledgeable about a lot of concepts, even ones not relating to Biology. Take him, you will not regret it!
Great professor, really shows how he cares for the students
Professor Palermo is a fantastic professor and just a really good person who doesn't want to see anyone fall behind or fail. He is truly an expert in biology and knows everything there is to know about it. He is hilarious and actually made me enjoy science for once. THE ONLY WAY TO FAIL THIS CLASS IS BY PURPOSELY TRYING TO FAIL!
This professor is very good at engaging students and truly does not want to see his students fail. He is very generous with grading and tries his best to make sure you know the material. He is very well-versed in biology and will go in depth about the important material. I recommend him wholeheartedly.
Out of the three years I've been at NCC, Professor Palermo has to be the funniest professor and one of the most caring professors out there. He brings joy to the class and is very unpredictable on what funny thing he's going to say. He cares a lot about his students and tries to help you whenever he has a chance to help you succeed in the class.
Dr. Palermo is a great Professor. I had to retake the class due to some personal issues and he was my number one choice again. He makes learning biology interesting and relatable to the real world. As long as you show up and do what you have to do you will get a good grade and education.
Palermo was very upfront and honest with us about everything. He is very funny and class time is made eaiser and enjoyable with his spunky attitude
If you study the information he gives you and complete assignments on time, you'll have an easy A.
Dr. T is the best science teacher I have ever had. Not only does he teach you what you need to know to pass every quiz and test accordingly, but he also gives you the proper knowledge you will need for life. He is extremely kind, goodhearted, hilarious, and always willing to help his students. You will never regret your decision to take his class.
Dr. Palermo is as simple as it gets. If you respect him, he'll respect you right back, but don't take his kindness for weakness. There will never be a dull moment in class, because he makes all the serious stuff enjoyable. He makes the crazy world of Biology simple. Would 10/10 recommend.
such an amazing professor , gives good amount of work, very caring and likes to see the students succeed. would highly recommend to other students.
Looking for an easy science credit? Take BIO105 with Palermo. You're welcome!
Great professor definitely the best one yet out of my 2 years here. Would recommend to any f my friends. Very down to earth and always in a good mood
He cares about your future
Get's all students energized for lectures. Teach in a more profound way, and actually cares whether we learn the material or not. Last teaches the subject using real life situations also.
I've always dreaded taking science classes so I was very nervous going into this bio class, but Palermo made this class easy to understand. While there was some difficulty he kept lectures entertaining. He gives very good examples, and is always willing to help
I would actually enjoy going to his class and he would have good lectures. Always broke things down if needed and put them in simple terms for some students (me). Would really recommend him to other students. He's beyond a 5/5 he's probably an 8 outta five that's how good he is.
He makes the material easy to understand, he is willing to help, and he cares about his students. I really enjoyed his class and would recommend it to anyone. He is a great professor.
This Professor is best to have, especially when it comes to Biology. He makes the material fun and easier to learn if you are someone that isn't the greatest in Biology. He is hilarious and is an exceptionally fair grader. He gives great feedback and is very successful in his field. I urge you to try to take Dr. Palermo, he's awesome!
he is a great guy that wants you to learn and is always there for help if you need him
I look forward to his class everyday and he makes the content easy to learn. His test are simple as long as you study his study guides. I definitely recommend him as a professor. his class is very easy to pass. He says " you have to actually try hard to fail".
He was an amazing professor. I would recommend this class to everyone and anyone. He cares so much about the subject and cares about peoples opinions as well. I never really liked science but he made it so interesting and I looked forward to going to his class every day. His tests were veryeasy as long as you pay attention and study the notes.
Great guy!
100% recommend
One of the most laid back professors.
He is an amazing professor! He is so interested in the subject and gives the best lectures. The way he describes the subject, it's so easy to understand. He has become my favorite professor out of all my college courses!
At first I was not looking forward to this class at all because Ive never been good at biology. But he made the class so much fun and interesting it easily became my favorite class of the semester. I would literally be excited to come to his class. I would definitely recommend everyone to take this class. I learned so much :) and had fun
Amazing guy who is very educated and insightful. Lectures are super funny and easy to attend. The work can be tough but if you study and attend class you'll be fine!
Really nice professor that gives humor to a rather boring class. The work is tough, but if you study and attend class you should be fine.
I really think if you need a science credit that you take this!! This class was fun and he cares about you. Highly suggest his classes!
Teaches to real life scenarios and not word for word from the book.
I absolutely loved this class! Historically I have had a really rough time with biology, but Palermo made it super easy to understand. He gives real world applications that actually make it fun. On top of that he is a super caring and genuine guy! Take this class, you wont regret it!
The best science teacher Ive ever had. I always hated science, but this semester I actually looked forward to going to lecture and lab. He makes everything so fun and he gives you all the tools you need to pass. Just make sure you study. Actually. Study. Everything is so easy if you just pay attention to your notes.
He is an amazing professor. He is super funny and gives real world applications that make the material more memorable. The tests are also easy as long as you pay attention and take notes (duh). If you need or want to take a science course, it doesn't get better than this. I will definitely miss his class.
Hes a really great professor, he makes class fun to go to, I actually look forward to his classes, it makes my day, you have to study though, and pay attention for due dates! He will not except late assignments, no make up tests or quizzes, show up, study and youll be good :)
Makes you not hate waking up at 8am for a class. Learn things that you could actually use in life. But, if you want to do well, you have to study. Absolutely recommend taking Dr. Tony! An awesome human being.
Class is very clear and concise. Professor Palermo's assignments are structured in a way that makes it difficult to do poorly in his class. Very generous as well when it comes to extra credit. Probably the best Professor to take when it comes to Biology. Highly Recommended.
If you are planning on taking Anatomy I at NCC, you need to take it with Dr. Palermo. You are better off taking his Anatomy course in the summer than with anyone else during a normal semester. He truly does this for the love of teaching and actually helps you understand the material so you can apply it later on. Best anatomy professor around!
Dr. Palermo is a very passionate about what he does in and out of the classroom. He is very straight forward when it comes to taking his class. His teaching styles were by far the best Ive ever experienced throughout all of my school years.
He is caring, works with you if you work with him, makes learning anatomy fun and interesting, it is a lot of information but that's any ap course, very fair in grading and gives extra credit opportunities, gives quizzes to make sure you keep up on studying, if you don't study you will probably fail.
would recommend this class and professor to ANYONE!
Dr. Palermo is an awesome professor! His lectures are relatable and informative. I didn't feel bogged down by knowing every little detail and I felt well prepared for every test and practical. I would definitely recommend his class to my peers!
He makes lecture super interesting by relating it to the real world. Which helps you realize there is a point in learning the material. He comes up with ways to help you remember things which really stick. His power points are straight forward and very helpful for the tests. I would definitely take a class with him again.
Dr. Palermo is one of a kind! He is an amazing, caring professor. He makes everything easy to understand. I enjoyed his class, by far one of my favorite classes. I would definitely recommend him!
Dr. Palermo takes a heavy informational class like A&P 1 and really breaks it down so its not as overwhelming. He teaches in different styles and applies it to real life for a better understanding. I would certainly recommend to anyone ready to learn and put the work in. He is real and upfront and is willing to listen and help. Great professor!
One of a kind professor that makes such a bland heavy course and makes it interesting. wish he would be my professor for every course
I would definitely recommend this prof. to anyone wanting to take A&P 1. He does an amazing job of making the material understandable by giving real-world examples. Attendance and studying is required in order to pass. If you are willing to put in the work, you should do well. Definitely my favorite professor in my 4 years of college courses!
For a summer course, this class is intense, but Dr. Palermo tells you exactly what you need to know. He relates all his lectures to real world scenarios, which makes them a lot easier to understand. He is full of jokes and keeps class interesting. He is also a very fair grader.
If you put in the time and effort in the class you will do great! He is VERY understanding and I 100% recommend him as an anatomy professor. You can tell that he is very passionate about the subject and he is truly there to help you succeed. Awesome professor!! Totally recommend!
I had just recently decided that I wanted to go into nursing after being a theatre major, so it was a big switch up, but boy let me tell you how glad I am that my first experience on this new track was with Palermo. dont get me wrong, you have to put in the work, but he makes it so fun and meaningful. i hope i can be like him when i grow up. 20/10
You have to be prepared to work hard for the grade you want to receive. He tries to make the most boring topics even slightly entertaining and informative. He gives you what you need to succeed and do well and he wants students to succeed but he's not afraid to tell you that you may want to drop the class.
Dr. T is far and away the most outstanding professor I've ever met. Bright and knowledgeable but also funny, genuine and down-to-earth. Summer session A&P is a difficult endeavor and takes some serious dedication. If you pay attention in class, though, Dr. T will give you every opportunity to succeed.
Awesome professor right here! Dr. Palermo made the material easy to learn as long as you put the time to study it. I would strongly recommend him to another student!
Best professor I've had for any type science class, he is genuinely interested in what he is teaching and the real world applications he gives really help you process the information a lot better. I would strongly recommend taking his A&P course.
Dr. Anthony Palermo is quite honestly my favorite professor that I have ever had at NCC. His lectures are not only productive and exactly what you need, but they are also lively and it keeps you awake and interested in everything he has to say. Summer anatomy is not a walk in the park but professor Palermo makes it the closest thing to it!
Dr. Palermo is a great Professor. He makes class interesting and always shows up in a good mood. Making it almost impossible for you not to be in the same mood he is, even when youre over whelmed and stressed. You absolutely need to work for your grade. He is very approachable and is there to help when needed.
When he teaches he gives real life experience so students can understand the material better and he also refers to funny movies so it's easier to remember.
Dr T is an awesome professor. Its a class you have to work for, but he gives you everything you need plus more to help you pass. Kick ass prof.
Dr. T takes a tough class and makes it realistic so you can better understand the topics, and remember them. His humor really helps! This class is not easy, but if you are willing to put in the hard work and enjoy Dr. T's humor, you have the opportunity to get an A or B. I wish I would have taken him the first time I took A&P I!
I took this professor for A&P 1 in the summer and I couldn't ask for anyone better. He is beyond amazing! The class was an 8 am and I'm not a morning person and he made me want to go to class. If you take anyone else for A&P I'm sorry. TAKE HIM! He puts all the material into real world applications and it sticks in your head. He's great!
Dr. Palermo is a great professor. He really makes the class entertaining and wants you to succeed. Stick to the green notes on the power points but also read the chapters to fill in the blanks. If you have questions dont be afraid to ask. He is really great and will always answer everything straight up. Pay attention and youll do fine. Go to SRC!
I took this professor over the summer and it was a very good choice for AP 1. He weeded out all the junk from the power points and gave you what you needed to know and real world examples! He simplified a hard subject
Dr. Palermo is an amazing professor. He takes his time to make sure you understand the material and applies it to real world applications. I feel so much more prepared for A&P II than I was before. I would recommend him to everyone that needs to take A&P I. Fabulous!!
Amazing professor! Makes class very interesting and is always making the class laugh while helping his students learn as well. Real life application examples in lab and lecture really help while taking exams. Would definitely take Dr. Tony again!
Dr. Tony is by far one of the best professors I have ever had. A&P is by no means an easy class, but he really makes it seem much more doable and also fun to learn. He only tells you what is actually important and leaves out the boring stuff. If I could take every science course with him I would do it in a heartbeat. He's the best!!
Professor Palermo has a great way of simplifying the material so you can understand it. He relates real life experiences to the subject matter and tries to make things fun.
Dr. T has an amazing way of taking complex concepts and making them easy and FUN to learn. He will be your biggest cheerleader and gives you all the tools necessary for success - it's just up to you to use them (go to the SRC). I am so glad he was my professor for my first time back in school in years.
How I wish he was my professor for APII!, but definitely he got me ready for APII. He is funny but respectful, caring and he take the time to break things down in a very simple familiar way. Dr Palermo is the perfect professor to have for the most hardest and difficult classes taking over the summer. He SPARKLE my student skills. LOL!
Dr. T is an amazing instructor. Hes brilliant and really knows his stuff. He makes it so that everyone understands the lecture material and will create real life scenarios as well as analogies to remember the material. He really cares about his students performing well and being able to apply the material into the real world. Wish hed teach A&PII
Very down to earth and understanding. Keeps lectures interesting and not boring . Was scared to take my first college science class and professor palmero made it easy to learn and understand the material . I wish he taught more of the classes that I need for my degree . I highly recommend.
Professor Palermo is one of the most inspiring teachers I've had at NCC. He is so passionate about his job and it shows. He actually cares about his students learning and strives for their success. I went through a hard semester and he was very understanding and helped our entire class enjoy actually being in class despite all our crazy schedules.
One of the best professors Ive ever had. A great teacher, really knows the material inside and out. Very relatable and wants you to learn and retain the information and will help you through out the course. I highly recommend this professor!!!
Out of all the professors I had Palermo stood out to me. He gave the best lectures, always cracked jokes, and great stories. The grading system is simple and you will get a good grade as long as you show up and do your part. Hes very understanding. He also gives a study guide and goes over it with the class, youll always pass your exams.
Dr. Palermo is down to earth, he can relate to all types of people he can meet you where you are. He makes Bio fun and practical, He gives illistrations and practical stories to help you to understand the lesson and the marteral. and is well respected, He is inspirational because he encourages. Great Teacher Great professor!!!
Dr. P is an amazing professor! I was nervous about taking Biology but was blessed to be in his class. His lectures are great and I catch myself going home and talking about what we learned. His fascinating facts are a huge help before exams. Dr. P you are a true blessing!!!
Hands down the greatest professor Ive had at NCC. I was afraid of taking biology but his lectures made me love bio. I had him for a night class but he made every class interesting so you never want to miss a class! Definitely would take him for more courses.
Dr. T made most of his lectures fun and easy to understand. He gives lots of real world examples to illustrate his points, and at times tells a funny story. He takes time to answer questions about upcoming assignments and will always offer a helping hand. Students will definitley leave class having learned something!
Dr. T makes the material easy to learn by relating it to real life and give real life examples. I have never not wanted to go to his lecture/ lab because i know it will always be fun and exciting not only because of his teaching style but because of the material he presents. Taking Dr. T's class has been the best one yet. Can he teach all my classe
You can tell Prof. Palermo really love what he does and cares about his students. Ive learned so much from the course even outside of biology. Very important life mantras. If you ever need to speak with him outside of class about anything hes available and very understanding. If you come to class and do the work you will pass with an easy A.
Dr. Palermo will do everything in his power to make sure that his students understand the material. Some of the topics require deeper explanation and he has the experience and knowledge to clarify these topics.
Dr. Palermo is very caring and nice person. Whenever I didn't understand something he would take his time to explain to me for me to understand. I like how he give use step by step how to do anything in lab or assignments we have. I always talk about him to my friends and actually on my friends told me to take his class.
Professor Palermo is very good at making a older woman feel comfort in class, making the class work very understanding. if you are look for a good teacher in Contemporary Biology, look no more I assure he is the professor for you. I will take any class he teaches
I have never been good at Science and always found the subject boring. However, this professor finds his own way to make the material interesting and relatable. In my opinion, its much easier to learn when i have a professor who can get excited about what he teaches and make the class interesting. This is exactly what Anthony Palermo does.
Knows everything. He is a really funny person who takes sarcasm well and can get along with anyone . also is really understanding and personable.
Dr.T was an amazing professor. He made class very interesting & made me actually want to learn. He cares a lot about teaching us and it shows (in the best way possible). If you have a chance to take him, do it! He genuinely cares about you as a person and wants you to succeed, dont be scared to ask him questions or for help. Very understanding!
Professor Dr. Palermo is such an amazing professor. He has such a passion for the subjects he teaches and teaches them in a way that it's easy for the student to remember. He is absolutely hilarious and great at adding the "dad jokes" during the lecture. His class is an easy A as long as you take the time and effort to do the work he assigns.
Dr. Tony is a very well respected teacher who cares about his students. He takes the time to get to know everyone's name and usually something about them. He gives people who show up and are willing to do the work a chance and works with them to finish off strong and with a good grade.
cool dude really helps you understand biology
Dr. Palermo was an amazing professor. He does all he can to make sure you pass the class. He brings up real life scenarios to help you get a better understanding. He also genuinely cares about each student and makes sure to get to know them. He is also very understanding. Definitely take his class if you have the option, best professor by far.
This is one of the most intelligent and caring professors Ive ever taken! He wants you to succeed and understand and so he gives fantastic real-life examples to help ensure you know whats going on.
Best professor Ive had so far ! Super nice and funny .. helps in every way he can to make sure people in his class succeed. if you have the chance to take him , do it ! you wont regret it. the only way you can possibly do bad in his class is by not studying .. he also doesnt overload with material only provides you with whats needed
Great teacher makes learning the material a lot easier, he is also a very understanding guy. Well respected and will make class enjoyable, hands down best professor I have had at NCC.
Dr. Palermo is a fantastic teacher! He makes his lectures extremely entertaining and informational and makes sure you know what you need to get a solid grade. He's extremely understanding about student circumstances and as long as you're willing to put in effort, he will work with you. Highly recommend.
Professor Palermo is not a tough grader his class is not mind melting hard. He gives you what you need to pass and you actually have to work not to pass his class. For lectures he makes learning Biology fun in lecture and lab. He respects you as long you do the same, I look forward to his class in the morning. I would definitely take him again.
Dr palermo is an amazing professor. He teaches in a way you can undersatand, while having fun. I was nervous about taking his class at first because, i work full time, sometimes 60 hours a week. From the beginning of class until the end, Dr Palermo had my undivided attention. His teaching ethics are on point and he is the real MVP.
Dr. Palermo is the best! He is fair with his grading and assignments and always makes sure there is enough time to complete them. He makes bio interesting and I would 100% recommend his class. As long as you are in class, get your assignments in on time, and respect him, you will love it.
I 100% recommend Dr. Palermo. He requests all students do what is assigned and on time and if you do what he tells you, on the first day, its a guarenteed pass. All you have to do is try.
This was my first semester at NCC, therefore being my first science course and Dr. Tony made it effortless ! I've never been good at science but it felt very simple to pass for any level of skill. Lectures were always light hearted and relatable, and his system of grading is always fair for students. No regrets or complaints on my end, 10/10 rec.
He is a great guy. Not too hard of a class and he makes it fun!
Dr. T teaches you to learn and understand the material. he has a good sense of humor when teaching. He is by far a good fair grader. loved his class.
Doctor Palermo was definitely the best professor ive had so far in college. He truly cared about all of his students and worked with them in order to make the best of the class. All of the work was reasonable and the tests were a reasonable level of difficulty. He taught the lessons with humor and comedy, and made me actually WANT to come to class
Professor Palermo is so awesome! He truly cares for every one of his students. I would recommend taking him for any class. He teaches with passion and obviously loves his job.
Dr. Palermo is one of the best professors here at Northampton. Not only does he treat you like an equal, but he's also a kind, hilarious, easy-going man who will support you every step of the way. Not only that, but he made a subject I hated in high-school enjoyable. I will miss him, and hope you consider taking him.
Dr. Palermo makes lectures interesting even though they are early in the morning. He makes students feel respected and shows that he enjoys teaching. During the Corona Virus, he made the move from on-campus learning to digital learning a comfortable transition.
This class was exciting to go to. I always looked forward to the days I attended biology. Professor Palermo is hilarious, brightens up everyones day and has the class laughing every class, even when classes transitioned to online. Professor Teaches well and gives clear notes and for tests always make sure he gives you the tools to fully prepare!
Professor Palermo is awesome! He truly shows his interests and enthusiasm in the subject and I would absolutely recommend his class to future students.
He's a really great professor and he helped me out a lot because biology isn't my strong talent.
great teacher! funny and caring! wants all his students to pss
Professor Palermo is an excellent teacher. He knows how to make the class interesting and exciting. Lectures include note taking and funny stories and lessons from professor Palermo. Labs are short and sweet. He does not make anything more difficult than it has to be. I would definitely recommend everyone to take a class with professor Palermo.
This is the first professor I ever had that made science an enjoyable subject. His lectures are never boring. He is very funny. It is a guarantee that when you go to his class you're going to laugh. He always makes sure his directions are clear for every assignment. Overall it is a great class you should definitely take it with this professor.
He makes a science class a lot of fun. He is approachable and understanding. I would recommend him to anyone having to take a science.
Professor Palermo is probably the best professor at NCC. He is so funny and makes class so interesting, He cares about you and it is shown in class and out of class. Best class and best person hands down!!!!!! 100/100 FOR SURE!
This Guy is absolutely an awesome teacher. Hes very understanding and the way he is in class just makes you want to participate all the time. Hes gives good feedback and he likes to connect to each student to have a better understanding with them.
He is a good grader, will do anything to help you succeed, & is pretty funny. I do not like science at all & I am not good at it at all, but he helped me understand certain things while understanding I am not a bio major, so he helped me out a lot.
This has definitely been a difficult semester with covid 19 however this was one of the easiest classes even with transferring everything online. He makes all the lecture fun and interesting.
This was one of the best classes I've ever taken at NCC and it wasn't even for my major! He made the 8am classes worth it and is a very funny guy! He made me excited about science again. His class was very educational, do the work and study for the tests and you'll do fine!
Loved his class so much!! His lectures were always really fun and he was always willing to help. He made the transition from live class to online class very easy and fun. I 100% recommend taking one of his classes!
Dr. T is one of the best professors to ever teach biology. He cares about your success and will work with you to make sure you do well in his class. As hard as it may be, he makes biology fun. He is inspirational and his class is one you will remember.
I loved having Dr. Palermo as a professor. He not only taught bio but he also helped with real life lessons that most teachers wouldn't care enough to talk about. He was very caring to all of his students and he just wanted to see us succeed, and it feels good to have a professor who cares like this. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone.
Also took for HUMX1500 last semester, started in person then switched online due to quarantine. Amazing both in person and online! Absolutely one of my favorite professors. Definitely take him if you can. Teaches you a lot while also being clear on testable material. He's very knowledgeable and I could listen to him lecture all day.
Giving all of your energy matters, gives pretty well understanding feedback on the blackboard, get ready to read. When I say get ready to read, by it being an online class it was just reading the text book that had labs and studying what he has for you. He assigns the work each week to not get overwhelmed(simple). Everything is timed but there is
Dr. T was a great professor. This class is HARD but if you take any teacher for A&P it will be a hard course regardless. Dr. T was super encouraging and genuinely wants to see you succeed. If you want to pass this class, listen to his advice and study the most you can.
Dr. T is the best professor I've ever had. He genuinely cares about his students and wants them to succeed. A&P is a hard course, but he makes it both manageable and enjoyable. As long as you listen to what he tells you and put in the time and effort needed, you will do well. I enjoyed going to each class and lecture, and I learned so much.
Just show up and get the work done and your good. He makes the class fun and easy to get by.
Easy class and very entertaining. Never have had a class do easily grasped. Wish I could have him for every class I need to take.
I really enjoyed this course the professor was one of my favorite professors. Just show up and do your work and you will be good. He is very understanding and makes class fun to be in.
Dr. T is an amazing teacher ! And person all around , he will help you truly understand the material with his comparisons to real world. Definitely a professor thats worth taking this class over for if I had too haha! Stick with him and I promise you , you will pass. He did not lie one bit when he said that . Its hilarious how real he is !
One of the most honest, straightforward professors I have ever had. He is one of the few teachers that could make Biology interesting, while still being able to keep a sense of uniqueness and creativity. It is never a boring class and I would highly recommend taking his classes for an amazing experience. Go for Green :)
Professor Palermo was one of the best teachers I have ever had in all my years of schooling. He does an incredible job walking you through the course and genuinely cares for the knowledge he's sharing. Even if you don't like the subject he will make it fun to be in his class. Would take this class again without a second thought.
Great Professor, really did care about me as a student. As long as you are respectful to him he will make your life great for class. Would love to take this class again just for the commentary we get with the lecture.
Best professor I have ever had been to 2 school and would have him for all my future classes if I could
Dr. Palermo has been one of the most funniest, caring, and humble professors. He saw us more as humans than just another student he needed to teach. He also made lectures and labs durable and fun to listen and do. Im grateful for his guidance in this class, and I highly suggest him as a professor, mentor, and more.
Dr. T was the best teacher I've ever had! He is extremely easy going. He is big on just putting in effort and handing things on time. As long as you show up to class, participate, show respect and study a little bit you surely will recieve AT MINIMUM a C. I feel he kept the class interesting and for the first time I actually looked forward to comin
Dr. T was one of the best professors I have had here. He truly cares about each student he has and makes things relate to life. Show up and take notes and study and you will do great. This professor is very friendly and funny. I would take this professor again if I could.
My professor Anthony Polarmo is probably the best teacher I've had, I've never dreaded going to his classes like my other, he's funny, respectful, caring, and very reasonable. He cares about his students so much and that's so important as a teacher. His teaching skills are amazing, he's varying interactive with his teaching methods. He's great !!!!
Overall just a great professor. He is very easy to work with as long as you don't disrespect him or take advantage of him. He is respectful and funny and I would love to have him again. He explains his curriculum very well and he helps out a lot on tests. All around just a great professor. Don't pass up on an opportunity to have him.
Professor Palermo was a very understanding teacher and was flexible with me. A very enjoyable class that I would take again. Highly recommend his course.
Professor Palermo the most genuine professor i've ever had, and cares about every single one of his students ensuring that they will succeed. He is very easy to understand and learn from. The biggest thing is to respect him, and he will do the same for you. Showing up and taking notes will get you far in this class. Don't pass up the opportunity.
Coolest mf on the planet I love this dude, wow what a cool cat, best teacher in this school for sure by far, and even better person. Says a lot about his character and caring attitude for his students and work. 20/10 recommend him as a teacher and would take him again 100 times.
Dr. Palermo is fantastic and really makes biology fun to learn. Even if you are taking this class to 'just get a science credit', you will walk out of this class inspired and fascinated by life. I would 100% take Palermo's class over again.
Dr. Palermo really is an amazing teacher. He genuinely cares about his students and wants them to have a good time in class. As long as you show up to class and submit things on time you can't get a bad grade. The lectures and labs were really enjoyable and low stress and the test material is clearly laid out so you never have to feel unprepared.
This class exceeded my expectations! I read the reviews prior to signing up and all of them were right. Palermo is absolutely amazing. He is down to earth, funny, and truly cares about his students and their success. He made learning very easy to learn by making personal connections. Always study because there were be quizzes!
Professor Palermo is amazing, very funny and care a lot about his students. His lectures are interactive and informative, lab was my favorite. Make sure you are on time for class and study the material given in every lesson. Overall, my favorite course and professor. Highly recommended, don't pass the opportunity to take any of his classes.
Although anatomy was a very tough course, Dr. Palermo was an amazing professor and always made sure we were on top of things. His sense of humor made the class 100% more enjoyable. He explained things very clearly during lectures and made sure we were understanding everything. I would 100% recommend Dr. Palermo for an Anatomy or Bio course.
Dr. Palermo is hands down one of the best professors I have ever had in my 2 years at NCC. He makes the class relatable to real life making it easier to learn the content, not to mention he is hilarious. I was always excited to go to class and it is obvious that he has a love for teaching and cares about each and every one of his students :)
Dr. Palermo is one of the best professors at NCC! He cares so much for his students and wants them to succeed! I like how he makes his lectures relatable so you can understand the topics that are being taught. I would definitely take him again for another class, and I highly recommend choosing him for Bio or any other class you're taking! :)
Professor Palermo is truly the best professor I have had so far at NCC. I really am someone who dreads taking any science class and this was my first on campus class in a long time so I was nervous, but he didn't make me feel dumb or clueless, he was there for anyone who needed help every step of the way! 10/10 would highly recommend. He's amazing!
Dr T is amazing!! So glad I had to opportunity to take his class and hear his lectures that make for constant laughs. He is a well respected teacher and truly works hard so that we succeed.
Dr T is the best professor I have ever had. He generally cares about all of his students and their success. He's always willing to help wether it's school related or just to talk. He always cracked lots of jokes and made our class laugh and smile every single day. 11/10 would recommend taking his classes :)
Dr Tony is honestly one of the best teachers I have ever had! He made a very hard class like A&P I enjoyable! His lectures are amazing and hilarious. His teaching style is very unique and he makes sure that everyone is understanding the content. I would highly recommend taking his class for A&P or honestly take any class that he offers!
Dr Tony is honestly the best! He is one of the best professors and teachers I have had so far in my life. He makes the classroom environment so hospitable and comfortable. His lectures are amazing and hilarious! He makes sure that his students do well on every tests and practicals there are, and truly cares for their well-being! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
Anthony made this class very interesting and always helped you if you were having a hard time. He always answers his emails fast and gives you time in class for the lab's to study in the class room or go to the src. He loves making jokes and he really tries to get to know you. Overall, I think he is the best anatomy&physiology 1 professor at NCC.
Im happy i took this class because the professor makes point clear and gives examples, he has good energy, and if you put in the work as you should you will have no problem passing this class. good luck!
Palermo made this class more fun and enjoyable than you can think A&P 1 can be. He cares about his students and wants them to do well in his class. He will help you out if you have any questions. Normally at the end of labs he will give time to study in the lab or you may leave and go to the src to study. Great professor to take for A&P 1.
The class is easy if you pay attention and study through out the day for at 2 hours and work hard but I would not recommend slacking off because if you do you will be left behind.
Dr. Palermo's class is wonderful and enjoyable. Although the class is rigorous he is more than honest about its intensity and is a very fair grader. He Gives plenty of assistance when it comes to understanding useful information.
Professor Palermo made a extremely tough class enjoyable and something to look forward to. He truly cares about his student's success, and takes it personal if his students aren't doing well. I highly recommend Professor Palermo.
Professor Palermo is a funny person. He will make you laugh with his dad jokes. He makes the lecture interesting by relating it to everyday scenarios. He's fair when it comes to grading and gives quizzes (not surprised quizzes) for extra points. The only thing about the class is that you can't ask him any questions during lab and lecture tests.
I'm an Engineering Major and I took this class just to fill credits. This does not apply to what I'm doing for my career, however if I can do it, you can do it. Just put in the work to be successful.
Hands down BEST professor I've ever had taken in all of my academic career (4 years of HS, 4 years of BS, and 2 years of MS degrees). He ONLY wants you to succeed. He uses easy analogies and comparisons during the most difficult parts of the chapters. All you have to do is LISTEN and STUDY (use the SRC he gives you time to) and you will get an A.
Palermo has so far been one of my favorite professors so far in my college career. He explained really in-depth concepts in such simple and easy-to-understand ways. I always felt comfortable in his classroom and always felt like I could ask questions. He made learning anatomy really fun and I wish I could take his class again.
TAKE HIS CLASS! He was an amazing professor and I would take his class again. He was very caring and treated his students like his own. His class was very organized with his lab and lecture classes. Lecture class was very enjoyable, he made me understand hard concepts quickly. He was the best professor I had yet in college!!
I was nervous about taking Bio because I am not very good at science. Doctor Palermo Is extremely helpful. He relates all our concepts to real-life experiences that we non-science majors will easily understand. All you need to do is show up to class and study for the exams and lab quizzes. Loved going to class every day, extremely enjoyable.
If you want to genuinely laugh during class then you should definitely take this class. Dr. Palermo is hands down the best professor I've ever had. As long as you show up to class with open ears, you are bound to succeed. I enjoyed coming to every class for there was always something to learn. Definitely going to miss taking this class.
By far the best class I have taken throughout all my years in school. Great professor and respects all his students. Attendance is mandatory but he will make you want to go to class. great humor, talks about real life situations. learned more about the world around me from taking his class. There were no pop quizzes throughout the whole semester.
I can confidently say that his class was my favorite. I'm not great with science, but he made learning easy and fun. Exams and Labs were a breeze! I would absolutely recommend him!
I can say out of all the science classes I taken as I took geology, environmental science and field ecology. This class with the professor seemed it was worth coming back in person for and i can say things seemed a bit lost, but he made this class worth taking .
Dr. Tony is the best teacher I have ever had the pleasure of working with. He was kind and caring. He is so passionate about what he teaches that it rubs off on you. This is a challenging class by nature but having a teacher like him it was one of my favorite classes. I also adored his real-world application to whatever career we are going into.
Dr. Palermo made lectures interesting and he made me want to come to class. I generally don't like Biology but he found a way to make it interesting for everyone. Dr. Palermo made sure we knew he was there for us outside of class. He made an effort to get to know everyone and made sure we were all good. I would definitely take this class again!
Dr. Palermo used real world examples to make the content applicable to the real world and understandable. He skipped through a majority of the uninteresting stuff which you probably already learned in high school. Tough it out even if you're doing poorly it gets easier with time.
Dr. Palermo is an excellent professor! I was in his anatomy & physiology 1 lab and lecture class. He gave us many real life examples and little helpful hints to remember certain concepts. I would definitely recommend taking his class! He's an amazing professor who cares about his students. He's by far my favorite professor yet!
Taking Dr. T's A&P class was the best choice I've made, he really goes above and beyond to make sure his students understand the material. As hard as A7P is, Dr. T made it less stressful. Definitely one of my favorite classes at NCC so far!
Dr. Palermo is an amazing professor. He really connects with his students and wants them to succeed. All lab projects are done in groups and are very easy and fun. The lecture has some tests, but he makes sure we are well prepared. There are few projects in lecture that are an easy A. Im so glad I had prof Palermo, he made this class so enjoyable!
Professor Palermo is hands down one of the best professors I've ever had. He makes constant reminders of due dates and makes the lectures enjoyable and has a story to go along with each unit. The class isn't an easy A but if you do the work, turn it in on time, and show up to class you'll do just fine.
Dr. T is a great anatomy professor! He really cares about his students and wants you to do well. His humor keeps you engaged in lectures, I would 100% take his class again.
Made boring topics fun, had such positive vibes with everyone. You can easily tell how passionate he is about teaching and I never left class unsatisfied. Do the work, follow the syllabus, show up to class and it's an easy A, he's definitely committed to making sure everyone passes. It would be a big mistake to not choose Doctor Palermo!
Professor Palermo is an overall great professor and a great person. He cares for his students and wants the best for them. He does not give you crazy unreachable expectations. He is helpful and answers your questions. He is honest when it comes to your goals and honest when it comes to his teaching style. I would take Professor Palermo again!
Professor Palermo is the best professor I have had yet here at NCC. He's very easy to talk with and to learn from. I genuinely enjoy coming to his class and learning. He gets straight to the point during lecture. If you show up and listen carefully to what he says, you will do well in his class!
This class has a lot of information to learn so be prepared to put in some work. With that said Dr. Palermo makes the experience fun and interesting. Attendance is necessary to pass this class, notes and lectures are unavailable online.
Dr Tony is an amzing teacher he really cares fro all of his students and tries to make everything easy and understandable. He is super down to earth and understand that you are trying to learn the info. He makes his lectures funny so you rember the info you need. This is a hard class but he makes it relatable and he try to not be a dick.
This professor inspired me to try my best. He keeps it real and fair. Took his basic anatomy class , he teaches exactly what we need to know. If you study you WILL pass . He respects his students.
Very nice professors, outstanding in teaching, he teaches us so we understands ,best professors I had , wonderful semester in his class I learned so much about our basic biology in his class this semester. I would recommend professors to anyone ..
Dr.Palermo is an amazing teacher. He cares about his students and their success. I am not good at science and I don't like it but he made the class fun and understanding. One of my favorite teachers at NCC!
Dr. Palermo is by far the greatest professor I have ever had the privilege of being taught by. He makes each class fun and exciting - even to those who don't enjoy biology! He also makes sure every student is not under stress about the course. If you're looking to get an easy A+ on your transcripts, do yourself a favor and enroll in this course!
Professor Palermo is a great person he is super funny and he's here to make your life easier he wants you to pass so he is not going to Trump you up. I recommend taking his class. I actually enjoyed learning about science something that I hated before, he made so fun!
Dr. Palermo is upfront, approachable, honest, cares and is fair. It's a hard class and he doesn't sugar coat it. NCC is very lucky to have a professor who puts in the extra work and shows compassion for the students who truly are working hard. If you get a chance to have a class of his, you wont be sorry and you will leave with confidence.
Professor T is a very good professor. From the very beginning, he highlights what is important and what to pay attention to. The way he lectures and the examples he uses help you remember the material more easily. Honest, understanding and caring about students.
I took A&P basics and he did an awesome job at explaining the materials. The lectures were full of information but he gave real life examples and ways to remember it for the exams. He is super approachable if you have any questions but if you ask him something he just went over forget about it.
For someone who didn't really enjoy science in high school, Dr. T related the material to real life scenarios making it easier to understand. Ask several questions during the lecture so that you are able to get the clarification needed. Attending each class in imperative as missing one class is like missing a week of information.
Dr. T gave a full layout how things would be. He kept the class straightforward and related it to real life scenarios that made it better to understand. The material is challenging but Dr. T gave me so much confidence in what I was doing and he did everything in his power inorder to help his students succeed.
I really liked Palermo. He operates on a quiz and test system. The quizzes are good opportunities to boost grades (mixture of multiple-choice and open-ended). He is really helpful in narrowing down what is actually going to be tested on, just follow what he recommends you study and the surrounding info in the textbook and you should do well.
Dr. Palermo is one of the best professors that I have had because he is straight forward, an encourager, makes learning fun, and relatable. Though it says easy for difficulty, it is not an easy course. However, there is no better professor who cares, is funny, and provides a road map that has worked for others, if you put the time and effort in.
Dr. T is creating a friendly environment during his class. He is explaining everything with the examples that we have in our real life. he respects and supports his students, also he has pop up quizzes that helps your grades.
Dr. T is an excellent professor who genuinely cares about his students and wants them to succeed. There were times when I dreaded going to class because I was having a bad day, but he truly made my days better. He never failed to make the class laugh during his lectures. I strongly advise you to take him! He's the best!
Exceptional professor! He made learning anatomy enjoyable and applied it to everyday situations. He made learning anatomy less daunting and because of that I am taking him for A&P 2.
Dr. Palermo was truly an amazing professor, he cares about his student success in the class and mental health. His class is very structured and clear, and he gives lots of opportunities for extra credit and what to expect for exams. Some say he's intimidating, but those people are just sensitive. Don't expect to not study and do well. study3-5 hrs
I took A&P1 briefly before with Alexander Brands and he was so monotoned and made it seem like he didn't want to be there which made me feel unmotivated so I dropped it. After taking Palermo's class during the summer, he helped me appreciate A&P1 and was always excited talking about it. My love for Anatomy blossomed after taking this course!
Amazing Professor! Made a tough class more interesting and less boring. Would definitely take him again!
Dr. Palermo is an amazing professor! I did not have an anatomy teacher that taught well in the past, but Dr. Palermo is very informative and made learning the material enjoyable. I actually looked forward to coming to class to learn more and I never thought I would be saying that considering how hard studying anatomy can be.
DR. T is one of the most amazing anatomy professors to take in bios 204, he is very caring and does a great job at teaching the material, as long as you go to the SRC and read them green notes. and the textbook you will do great. he is a very understanding professor too.
Genuinely best professor/teacher I have ever had. Makes all the tests and quizzes so much easier by giving specific areas to study without hand feeding you answers. Makes lecture and lab way more real life by talking about his own experiences in the field and things he saw. As long as you work hard he gives you all you need to succeed. Amazing man!
Dr. T is by far the best professor I have ever had at NCC and is the reason I loved coming to class! Dr. T truly cares about his students, and makes such a hard class less daunting and easier to understand by providing real world scenarios. He is very straight forward, funny, and overall just wants to see you succeed. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
Professor Palermo makes this tough class more engaging. Utilizing the textbook and attending class are key, but unstuckstudy AI was a lifesaver for supplementary study prep. Overall, a challenging yet rewarding course with a caring instructor.
I took AP1 with Dr T and he is by fs
I took AP1 with Dr T and he was by far the best professor/teacher i have ever had. He is so kind and helpful, and teaches this material in the easiest way possible. He acknowledges when you do well on an exam. Not only is he a great professor and knows a lot, he is also a great person. Would 100% recommend!!
Palermo takes so much passion and love into his teaching. He is strict but in the most understanding and necessary ways. But he is also the most caring for his students and wants them to do good. I've taken this course twice both with him and he's never let me down. This class is hard but he makes it bearable.
Dr.Palermo was an absolute joy. He is incredibly knowledgeable and effective at teaching BIOS204. He thoroughly enjoys teaching AP1 which makes the class/material enjoyable. I highly recommend him as a professor; and to be quite honest, he's the best professor I have ever had. Thank you Dr.Palermo:)
