One of the best teachers I've had! He is very fair in his tests. There will be no surprises. He is active in his teaching by showing simulated segments, encouraging participation, and applying material to you. It is a structured, yet laid back learning envirorment. You will have to study, but you will LEARN in the class.

I got A on A&p 1 and Microbiology. He's very helpful and funny. Another tip is that if you study hard and dont miss any class he will help you to get points.

He's not as clear on some things, for example, you play the guessing game when it comes to studying diagrams for the test. He is very PARTICULAR on how things are done in his class. Nice man, but needs to back off on being real picky, concentrate on clarity and if he would make it where theres no guessing; nonetheless good teacher. -J

Dr. Nioupin, although he dislikes when I call him "doctor", is a very PARTICULAR man. He is helpful in his own way, which is the right way. Some students are used to the lenient instructors,that is why when I arrived to his class I wanted to just say, "nope, I'm out of here". However, I'm so glad I stayed in his class.

I thought Mr.Nioupin was great. Lectures are interesting; all kinds of questions come up. He's energetic and quirky..."Mannnn." The thing is that this is not a class for slackers who wanna get by. He really wants his students to learn, so he's meticulous but at the same time he's not impossible. Must admit though, he can be a little stubborn..

I normally do not rate teachers, but Professor Nioupin it is a must! Microbiology in a 5 week summer course was definitely not a breeze, but he helps a lot! He is very hands on and also willing to listen and help with whatever it is that you may be struggling with. There's a lot to retain, but study and ask for help if needed and you'll do fine.

He gives Powerpoints over the entire book, basically study the powerpoints!!! The book is on Chegg, returned mine. Not needed The last two tests are the hardest.

BIOL2101 LAB aka BIOL 2401-This teacher is constantly late for morning class (5-10 mins late EVERYDAY) and disorganized. When he arrives, he rushes through the lab leaving students confused. He gatekeeps all test reviews like 2 days before the test and does not respond to emails. He'll tell y'all he's going to do something but he never does it.

He's funny and playful, a delight to be in a lesson with. He's a 10, but he makes exams RIDICULOUSLY difficult, and sometimes confusing. 8/10.

Nioupin is a great teacher! He cares about the performance and learning of his students and enjoys teaching. In his class I found that he made the subject approachable by setting clear guidelines and giving students all the tools they needed to perform.

I took Professor Nioupin Microbiology Lab in the spring 2023. He is funny, with a sense of humor, and you will learn a lot in his class. He is straight forward with his testes and homework. You will get a easy A or B. Make sure you pick a good working group for your labs.

Professor Nioupin is the best for microbiology. I love his sense of his humor. His exams are straightforward from the question bank that he provides, along with the diagrams. As long as you study his diagram guide and question bank, you will get an A. Attendance is mandatory, but you will enjoy listening to his lecture. Best professor at HCC!!!

I've taken professor Nioupin for both lecture and lab, He gives study guides (diagrams and tables) and a practice test for each exam. You will pass the exams if you study the diagrams and remember the questions from the practice test. The exams are 60% the diagrams and 40% is the questions from the practice test. Study the materials and pass

Professor Nioupin has great lectures and is funny. "Oh, by the way," he likes to include diagrams/charts that he will send you that are a part of the exams. I felt confident at the end of the course, and I would recommend him to anyone that wants to learn A & P 2 thoroughly.

Amazing professor, lecture got boring sometimes but overall he was not hard. You just got to put in the work to memorize everything. Don't let people deter you from taking him, he's really good! He gives you a set of questions + diagrams to memorize and that's the test, simple and straightforward, no guessing with this professor.

Do not take this professor. I was fooled by all these good reviews but this is one of the most disrespectful teachers I have ever had. Beyond rude and does not respond to emails. Would put trick questions or things we didn't learn on the test and when the class average was a failing grade several times on the test nothing was done about it.

He is nice, but his exams are HARD. 75 questions for your 80% of final grade and the district final is 10% so classwork and attendance is only 10%. His lectures are a lot of videos, and he does not do extra credit. Took him for Microbiology and dint drop the class to not pay for another credit.

This professor is a good professor. HE PROVIDES YOU with practice exam and diagrams, So study everything because that is literally the exam. Yes it is a lot to study but you have to put in the work to pass.. it is not an easy class but if you study the material and diagrams he gives you, YOU WILL pass his class.

Took Prof Nioupin for the BIOL2101 A&P1 Lab and it was a fun and reasonable course. Assignments are all dated months in advance, only having minor issues on due dates from time to time but that was due to the Second Start class having to move faster than usual and those issues were always addressed and corrected. Would def recommend taking

Took this Professor for A&P Lab he's quite hilarious, tough exams, 3 exams and a final. But they're just look at the review study it take the test, pretty simple. Actually focuses on labs as in slides, disecting, etc. I'd say he's the best lab teacher I've had , I'd definitely take him again. First exam is more fill in the blanks. Awesome professor

I'd say one of the best professors I've had. He generally cares about making sure his students understand the material and are having fun while learning it. He sets positive a positive atmosphere within the classroom for his students. He understands the material very well and BONUS gives extra credit! He is a 10/10 professor. He's great!

Auguste Nioupin. I have ADHD and Huntington Chorea Disease, on February 5th it was the Disability Dept. sent an email to him with updated accommodations. He does not allow me to feel dignity or adhere to the testing policies. I asked to drop with an I status. I have spoken with the Chair Mr. Opara and all he does is make excuses for his actions.

This professor was awful. 60% of his test are diagrams. His reviews are about 20 pages of diagrams. Unless you have a photographic memory do not take him. I honestly do not understand how he has good reviews.

No. Just... no. He's a funny guy, lectures & homework are okay, but his exams....yeah no. Save yourself. A lot of students in my class are failing or BARELY passing. I wish his material were more concise and easier to follow and review, but I fear this class is gonna be my L this semester.

2-3 chapters for hw every week, 80 question exams, and final is 100 questions. Attendance is mandatory and don't even try to give him excuses. Didn't give extra credit or drop lowest exam. I wouldn't take him again or hope to get a professor like him again… nevertheless, he is extremely kind and funny. Only take this class if this works for you.

One of the worst nightmare, he get aggressive and he doesn't tolerate any kind of human error, a ton of homework, each lab has 3 submissions and post labs are really tough with assessments in each lab and he has anger issues as well, i would never recommend him.

Professor provides exactly what you need to study for the exams, which are 80% of the total grade. Make flashcards from the practice quizzes (100 questions/exam) and memorize *everything* in the packets he provides unless stated otherwise. Exam 2 for microbiology, make sure you learn the medicines completely. Do your homework, go to lecture.

There's a lot of homework and quizzes; his study guides sometimes help. Participation matters. He's a really rough person that doesn't give extra time for your work even if you explain. There will be 2 parts to each exam. One online and another in class.
