Mr. Long's class and teaching style seriously made me decide this is what I wanted my major to be. He want his students to be successful but he will only be as eager as you are. He's a great guy and a great mentor
By far the most interesting and insightful instructer I've ever had. He'll make you laugh and at the same time want to study.
He was a great professor. I loved his class. He is very clear on the material and helpful. If your going to take A&P I would take Mr. Long.
Awesome Instructor
He is an awesome teacher and would never take any Biolgy course with anyone else.
Uses stories, phrases, and puts all interest into helping you understand before leaving class. He thoroughly enjoys teaching what he knows.
I took this class to help me decide if I wanted to be in the medical field. After it I decided it was not for me. But Mr. Long was an awesome teacher! He really loves what he teaches! He gives you ways to make remebering the information easier. I really enjoyed the lab compared to the lecture.
Mr. Long is an awesome teacher!! I recommend him to everyone needing A&P. He is extremely helpful and will tell you exactly what to study. I like going to his lectures because he uses examples that stick in your mind. Anatomy is a hard class, but Mr. Long will help you get through it. He is a super nice guy and a very motivational teacher!
Great teacher, looks out for the student big time! Great person!
He is very caring and easy to understand tests are hard because it is a hard subject but he explains things so well,very visual teacher. Keeps u interested,loves what he does and is very good!!!
One of the best a & p teachers we have at Del Mar!!
Mr.Long is an excellent teacher!! you can really tell he loves his job! I would recommend him to anyone..and he is willing to work with students as long as they are willing to work just as hard! If you are looking for an easy way out he is NOT the right teacher for you..you have to work for your grade but he is always willing to help!
So far, he is a great teacher! Very friendly, funny, and helps his students understand alot! He seems very helpful, and is very leniant! :D
I took for summer and was the best. He doesn't use powerpoint writes the notes on the board as you go which is very helpful. I had 2 other professors in anatomy and failed with both when I took him, he simplified it and I understood it. GREAT teacher recommened him and no one else!!!

Mr Long is extremely helpful! I honestly learned my AP this time unlike the other teachers I have taken!
Honestly the best A&P teacher at Del Mar! Funny, easy to understand and willing to work with his students. I highly reccomend this professor!!
He is the best teacher ever :) Honest, observant, humorous, admirable, good listener and speaker. It's hard not to like him so many students favor this teacher and all other teachers in his profession are jealous lol. He's great he's just so hard to get.
I took 2 previous teachers before Long, and I couldn't understand anatomy at all. Then I took Long and it suddenly made since. He writes all his notes on the board and make the class interesting & fun. I recommend him for sure if your taking this class!!!
he helped me alot!!He's great teacher.... you wanna pass the first time? take him :)
I took A&P 2401 and 2402 from Mr. Long and I recommend him to everyone. A lot of material to memorize but Mr. Long made every effort to help us and made the course managable. I enjoyed his lectures, he was able to keep the class focused and interested. He was clear about what will be on the tests. I found the Interactive physiology CD very helpful.
Best A & P teacher I've ever had. Best teacher actually. Really makes it easy to memorize and gives little things to help remember. Very good in lecture. Practically takes the notes with you. Really wants you to succeed even outside his class. Helpful in finding resources to help you in class/work/social matters. He wants you to SUCCEED!
Mr. Long expressed such extreme understanding and passion about this subject I was awestruck. He made A&P easy to understand and his high energy kept me focused. I want to take it again just because!
I took him my very first time and I LOVED his class. He's very helpful and entertaining and breaks down everything until you understand. He has great energy and is very very passionate about his students doing well in life. I recommend you take him. I couldn't get in for A&P 2 and was really upset. I passed his class with an A
Excellent professor. Explains clearly and answers any questions. This class in general is hard, but if you study his noteset OFTEN, you'll do fine.
Great guy, who really cares about students and this class. You can see this in his teaching.
Awesome teacher! He actually makes you want to learn the material! Very passionate about the subject and his students.
Mr. Long is the most amazing teacher I have ever had! He really cares about the students and isn't there just for the paycheck. He went to Del Mar so he really understands student life. If you get to take him, consider it a blessing! He goes fast though, always the firt teacher gone! He will teach you so many thing, to keep throughtout life!
I took him for Bio 2401 and 2401. I have never had a professor who was as great as Mr. Long. I would highly recommend him to anyone. If you want the best grade you can get in Biology then take Mr. Long.
Best...Best....Best teacher you'll ever have!!!!!
He is very passionate about his students and teaching. If you didnt have him for 2401 then it doenst work in your favor. He is a great teacher, but his exams are pretty hard. You have to be dedicated in this class no matter the teacher.
It was an amazing opportunity to be in Mr. Long's A&P2 class. He is an amazing instructor who uses absolutely NO power point presentations. He explains difficult concepts better than anyone. This is not an easy class and you will work very, very hard. His tests are difficult.
Best teacher ever!
I took him for 2401 in the spring of 2011 and I am currently taking his 2402 this fall. He is a very passionate teacher, he is clear and through in his lectures. He has made a noteset for students to take notes in during his lecture that goes in a specific easy to study way. Register for his class early, it fills within the first few hours.
Mr Long is by far the Best teacher I have EVER HAD... He will break things down so that you understand them. The class is a hard class, but he makes it doable. Every teach after him will fall way short of the bar he will set. Test are hard, but if you work as hard as he does you will ace his class
Mr. Long is a great teacher. He makes you want to learn.
By far the best professor I have ever taken! Attendance is very important. You go through allot of information and can become overwhelming. I got an A in A&P 1! just study the note set front and back and you'll pass! Highly recommend him!
Let's just say I've literally taken all biology instructors and mr. Long was the only one I could understand and get an A.
I took both 2401 and 2402. I am glad I took him as my first semester in college, I felt that it set me up to be better prepared for my other classes. The class is paced by the noteset he provides for class. If you miss a day you will know what was covered. There is a reason why his class fills up within the first few hours, he is the best.
Awesome professor. Hard class but teaches the class with exceptional knowledge and humor. Best professor I've had yet.
He is so very helpful and wants you to understand. He will even teach you easy phrases to remember certain things. I would HIGHLY recommend him!!!
A&P is not an easy course to take, but Mr. Long made it very manageable and helped his students in every way he could. I highly recommend this professor for both A&P 1 &2. You will not be disappointed! He is such a nice person and an awesome instructor.
Professor Bob Long is a great guy and an even better instructor. You won't be disappointed.
I didn't know what I was getting myself into when I attended my first AP class. Luckily, Mr. Long was very helpful in his lectures and even gave strategies on how to time manage with AP. He is a very motivational teacher and really believes in his students. He is a hands down one of the best teachers Del Mar College has to offer.
Wow! Where do I start? Mr. Long is the absoutle best professor at Del Mar, period! He has a true passion for his students and their learning. A&P is not an easy subject to begin with, but Mr. Long bends over backwards to help his students learn! DEFINITELY take him!
A&P is content heavy and a difficult subject. Mr. Long takes the time to make the content very easy to understand. He tells you exactly what to study. He is approachable and helpful. I used the note set, books, study groups, and SI sessions. If you can't go to class and devote 2-3 hours per class of study time, Choose a different major.
A fabulous instructor. I learned a lot from him. The class itself is pretty hard, you will have to study a lot, but he is willing to explain things one on one, and is very willing to help. He will stay late so you can have extra time with models. Does a good job of getting you ready to go into the medical field. I would suggest him to anyone.
The best A&P professor
By far the best professor I've ever had, this is a hard class, and I took it with 3 other classes including the lab which is another class all in itself and managed to make an A, but I worked very hard and gave up all social life for the grade. It's a sacrifice I was glad to make so I could understand the concepts. Take him, you won't regret it.
If you need to take any A&P, he's your man. Brilliant instructor. He wants to make sure you understand the material. He offers plenty of opportunities to seek help from him and shows you what you need to do to make the grade.
If you want to learn the material and get ready for nursing school etc. Mr. Long is your man no doubt hands down
Mr. Long is the best teacher I have ever had. He really cares about his students and wants to make sure you understand the material. The class is never boring, he explains things so well and uses a lot of humor to keep it interesting. You definitely have to study in order to pass but if I was able to with 3 kids and 3 other classes, then anyone can
Great professor, would recommend to anyone who needs to take A& P. Or even just guidance in your career path!
Mr. Long is an amazing and inspirational teacher! As long as you attend classes everyday and study the material in the note sets you will pass. Everything that's on the exams is basically handed to you in the note sets. Will be taking this teacher again for BIOL 2402.
Be prepared to work at learning A LOT of information. He is all over the place, always running behind, stressed for time, crams or leaves out a lot of the topics. Goes off on way too many personal "motivational" speeches. He's got good methods on how to go about it, and if he could just stay on target, he'd be the prof to go to. He will help you!
He is super unorganized, which makes your already stressful life, that much worse. He NEVER does what he say's he is going to do (post grades, post reviews, open links) which makes access to study materials harder. Basically Read the book yourself, follow the note set and study long and hard.
Mr. Long is a great teacher, he does everything he can to help you. You will have to work for your grade and I do not recommend missing a class. What he lectures on is what you will be tested on. Yes you have to read the book and note set on your own time. Again your grade is earned!
Mr. Long is the BEST professor I've ever had. He makes A&P easy to understand and tries to look at it from a student's perspective. His inspirational speeches feel like they're directed towards you. He does whatever it takes to ensure success. Absolutely LOVE him and I actually wish I had to take his classes all over again. Definitely recommend!
So inspiring and helpful. Definitely a class for a really hard worker. I would take this class again in a heartbeat! first week of class, gather a group of people to study with and it'll change your grade immensely. the SI leader for my semester was so amazing, shes the reason i got an A!
Very inspirational and engaged with students. He makes the hard stuff easy by explaining it his way. I was one of those who needed SI to learn it in depth. This isn't something u can just memorize. You MUST learn it! Great teacher. Would definitely take again. I earned my A. Worked and studied so hard.
He basically holds your hand through the whole semester. There are 6 lecture tests and 4 lab tests. He drops the lowest lecture test. There's no extra credit. Tests were a bit harder than the labs imo. He teaches from his own note set. Barely used the book at all. Your grade is earned, not given. I got my A, did you?
If you didn't pass this class then you should really rethink if you're strong enough to go through any healthcare program. Everyone told me this class would be tough and so much info but I found it to be super easy. If you can't even pass this easy course then how are you gonna be able to pass the courses in your program?? Class was way too easy.
Best teacher I have ever had. No Doubt!!
Mr. Long is the most respected person I know. He's funny, exciting, and provides plenty of resources for studying like lab reviews, youtube videos, and his phenomenal note sets. He tells you exactly what you need to know for the test, which is usually a lot, but at least you won't be surprised. An A in this class is 100% attainable if you want it.
He is such an amazing teacher! Some say he is the easy professor but I don't think that's true. He just has a different teaching philosophy than the other professors. You get a sense that he really cares that you learn and not just memorize what he is teaching. He draws everything no powe points and that really helps it to sink in.
Professor Long is very inspirational. Every time I felt I could not make it through (due to life events) his lectures filled me with motivation. He's a very good professor if you learn visually and by drawing. He loves to draw. Go to class. Read your notes. You will pass. Don't be afraid to raise your hand or ask for help.
Mr. Long is an amazing professor. Take him. It is very difficult to get into his class to begin with, but it was well worth it. Take extra good notes. Get yourself a recorder, comes in handy when going over your notes. You MUST study hard to pass. Find people who want to succeed as much as you do and study with them. Perfect Practice Makes Perfect
Long is absolutely awesome, he really cares about his students and where they are going in life. A&P can be hard but he really has a way of breaking it down so everyone understands it. I recommend him 100%.
Tests are hard. He tries to trick you. Lecture went by much to quickly and I don't get his odd use of metaphors ever. If you skip you basically miss a whole chapter. Don't do it. I hate to complain and break the rules but it is very very clear he does in fact play favoritism. Not in grades but in how he treats people.
Bob long is the best AP professor ive ever had. He cares about students and loves what he does!!! He truly is always into his teaching. He draws everything out and helps you any way he can. Im a single mom who works 50 hours a week and he helped me get through this summer semester. He rocks take his class.
He doesn't just read off the slide show. I've literally never had a teacher who doesn't have a slide show presentation. It's the only reason I made an A. He truly loves to teach and does it well. He makes a incredibly hard course somehow easy to understand. I made a C in anatomy 1 but in Long's class I was one of the top students. Made an A!
I really respect Mr. Long, not only as a teacher, but as a person. I may have made a D (this class was extremely difficult for me) but i would do it all over again. He is one of the most down to earth, and kind professors i've ever had. Mr Long has expressed many times that he just wants everyone to succeed because he was once just a student too.
Mr Long is honestly the best teacher I have ever had. Not only is he fantastic at teaching and loves his job but he truly cares about his students and has high hopes for everyone. I am taking his summer 2, A&P 2 & will most likely end with an A. Mr long is someone I will never forget and I would recommend him to anybody!
Mr. Long is an awesome teacher, he truly cares about his students. He makes his lectures clear to understand. Basically as long as you want to achieve in his class you will. Recommend him to everyone.
Mr. long is an incredible man. He will go as far as he has to to help you pass and prepare you for the next step. I have never had a professor so caring and willing to help his students. Don't cheat or lie and he will do all he can.
He has been the best science professor I have taken in all of my college science classes. He really made me learn, and when I was in class for Microbiology, he really did lay the fundamentals of biology and anatomy.
Long got me to an A when I didn't think I could. He makes an effort to know students. Yes he goes off topic with motivational talks sometimes, if you're a good student that won't matter because working hard outside of the class is what gets you an A. Very interactive professor, writes the notes out every day with us & has medical field experience.
Mr. Long he's really funny and he cares a lot for he's students. A&P1 is definitely a hard class, but interesting. GET READY TO STUDY HARD The best teacher and a great human being.
The most amazing professor i have ever had! he should have been an inspirational speaker! he goes off on tangents sometimes but he has some awesome stories to share about life. he is someone that you can really connect with and learn from. If you put the time into studying, you will get an A or B. its a lot of memorization, of course.
The best teacher ever, Get Ready to Study Hard. 6 lecture test and 4 lab test and the final exam. Not extra credit, he have he's notes book and they're really helpful. He's funny and amazing teacher, he would have time for everyone if you need to talk about improve your grades, but don't wast he's time and don't cheat, he will catch you.
Mr. Long really loves what he does, it shows in how he teaches. He makes it so you understand it, he uses silly metaphors for some of his teaching's but if you find anatomy and physiology interesting, you will do well. Yes there is lots to study and you must read along with your textbook if you want that A. I would definitely take his class again.
Mr. Long is amazing. He really breaks it down for you and gives you amazing study resources. Read the book to back up his lectures. Record lecture because he does go fast in the summer. Make sure you know what's on each test(he gives reviews). Ask anything! He wants his students to succeed. It's a lot of independent study but you can do it.
Hands down the best professor I've ever taken. I've never had a professor who (by their choice) get to know each and every one if his students and takes the time to tell you why you are amazing. He always humbles you and makes you want to kill your next test. Mr. Long gives you all the tools you need to succeed.
He's a great professor but he's class is not easy. You have to study. He draws everything so you are in luck if you are a visual learner. Everything on the tests come straight from his lectures. He doesn't believe in extra credit. He's funny and makes class enjoyable. Use the quizlets for lab. Just be ready cause A&P 2 moves very fast! Good luck!
Amazing professor who is super caring as long as he knows you are putting effort in. Has the best motivational talks ever. By far the BEST professor ever!
I just finished professor Longs class off this semester with an A. His class is not super easy but as long as you put in the time and effort into your studying, you can pass! Take great notes, listen, and dont miss class and you should pass! He is an amazing professor and wants the very best for his students!
Mr. Long... I have no words for how amazing his class was this semester! He is by far a great man and a phenomenal teacher! if you fail/ don't get the grade you want that's on you... he does his utmost best to make sure you succeed! He talks a lot at the beginning of class but to me its inspiring and i needed it sometimes. Take your time in this 1
Currently enrolled in his A&P part one. I am already planning on taking him for part two. He is the best with lecturing and helping to ensure the whole class understands what he is teaching. This is a tough class but Professor Long constantly motivates us and reminds us that we are capable of anything we put our mind to.
I took this course almost 3 years ago and I still think about how awesome Professor Long is. His lectures were incredible. He draws every concept on the board and makes everything make sense. I'm halfway through earning my Master's in Health Education at TAMU College Station and he remains one of the best professors I have EVER had.
Great teacher.
Mr. Long is the best i took him for A&P 1 & 2. TAKE HIM! His class fill up very fast some make sure your online when registration opens. He tries his very best to make sure you understand the material. What you put in is what you get out.
by far the best professor here at del mar. you get what you put in. amazing, caring, available outside of class, motivational speaker. would not recommend taking this class with a lot of others, since it requires a lot of work. go to s.i., read the textbook after lecture, use the a&p models in the student success center.
Mr. Long is the best professor ever. He cares about his students and want everyone to succeed. He will be there for you no matter what. He will be your teacher, your support, & even a motivational speaker. He's so good at teaching A&P, gives examples to where its easy to understand. He truly loves his job. YOU WILL NOT REGRET TAKING HIS CLASS.
Mr. Long is an AMAZING professor. He truly cares about all of his student and their future success. A&P is an incredibly hard class, but it is possible to get good grades! Mr. Long teaches the material in a way that you are able to learn BUT you do have to put in the work and a lot of time to study! Best professor Ive had so far!
Mr. long is the best professor ever. I was so afraid to take a&p but his lectures are the best he explains everything so you understand. He draws out his labs color coated so you understand. I would highly recommend him. He is a good caring professor with a big heart.
I loved having classes with Professor Long. Hes such an amazing teacher. He cares about his students learning and understanding the material. He works really hard to give you all the information you need to be successful in his class. Hes also a very motivational and inspiring person over all. The best instructor I have ever had.
Mr. Long is an amazing professor I would recommend him to anyone. He gives amazing lectures and will help you in any way that he can. Very understanding and good guy!
Mr. Long was my professor before this site was created and is still loved by students. He is one of the reasons I was able to graduate. 12 years later I am still grateful for his way of teaching (he would show you physical examples to help your memory) and it did! Thank you for all of your hard work for all these years Mr. Long!
The best professor Ive taken, I wish I wouldve had him for bio 2401. He is amazing and gives good feedback. He truly cares about his students and I loved the lectures
Flat out amazing professor. Lectures are so descriptive and show so many detailed drawings. I'm currently taking this class so I don't have a grade yet, but he provides multiple ways to help pass exams/practicals and you can tell he really loves what he does. 20/10 would recommend.
THE BEST!! he brakes down the material so that its easy to understand and learn, he truly cares about his students and their success. If you're struggling he will help you! don't be afraid to reach out to him he wants to help you! I enjoyed his lectures very much.
Before taking this class online during the COVID-19 pandemic, I was worried I wouldnt do well with as it very dense, however Professor Long has laid out his curriculum very well and fairly easy to follow. He did not provide extra credit and does not curve any tests. He truly cares about each student and their circumstance. I take his 2402 summer!
My favorite professor so far! You can tell he really cares about the students and wants us to learn! I took it online and had to do most of it on my own but he makes YouTube videos that explains EVERYTHING! Definitely not an easy class but I wouldnt want another teacher to teach me anatomy!
Prof. Long is an educator first and a biology professor second to none. By happenstance, he taught my section of BIOL 2420 in FA21. He takes a complex subject like microbiology and distills it into a manageable and enjoyable experience. Consider yourself blessed if he is your instructor and take advantage of the opportunity to learn from him.
Dr. Long is the best professor that I have ever encountered. He really helps his students and breaks the information down to be able to understand. I am about to graduate nursing school and I his lectures still help me during the program. I would suggest being there for every lecture and ask questions! It is hard to fail his class.
Mr Long is hands down amazing!!!! He cares so much about his students. He is scripted in a good way as in if you have to miss class everything that is on his videos is what he would’ve said in class. He will tell you what is on the test. He grades super fair.
The best biology professor I have met, one of a kind. An excellent instructor and motivator, his exceptional ability to impart knowledge is unmatched. Taking his courses was one of the best things that happened to me at Delmar. His manner of instruction and commitment to students are awesome. Every student needs a Prof. Long, so take his class now.
Mr. Long is truly one of kind! He is the most inspiring, and motivating professor I have had at DM. His class is not easy but he gives you all the tools you need to succeed. Highly recommend Mr. Long.
Professor Long is one of a kind professor. He really cares about his students. He wants his student to be successful. Take Professor Long for A&P class and follow his advice, you will be finishing A&P1 & 2 full of knowledge. He will give you a fatherly advice and listen to it. He does care about his students to graduate and having a better future.
Mr. Long was by far the best professor I've had. He truly cares about his students and their learning experience. Although the class is all tests, he gives you all the of resources and information that you need to succeed. You definitely have to do your part and work hard in this class to do well.
Textbooks are recommended but not required, I didn't buy a book and I till got an A. Mr. Long has some of the best in person & online lectures & provides numerous resources to help you succeed. You can tell he cares about his students, he makes it easy to understand and cracks jokes to make it fun. This class is tests only so study and buy note set
Mr. Long was awesome. The subject was very difficult, but he managed to make it fun & bearable. He was inspiring, kind, and passionate about human a&p. His tests were well written, and he does excellent note taking alongside the class. A very interactive and enjoyable class, would recommend!
I loved this class so much!! Yes, it was difficult but Mr. Long made lectures super enjoyable and interesting. He is really passionate about teaching and the success of his students.
I dont actually go here and did not take anything with him in person. But I wated all his videos because my professor wasn't cutting it. The way he explains everything is so clear, lots of metaphors and other examples to help with understanding. I would take any course with him given the opportunity!!
He is so AWESOME because he cares for the students. He understands how and what it is to be a student and he respects you for that. He provides a lot of opportunities to you when you take his class. He gives you all of the topics to cover over for the exams. He is really caring for students well being as he is accessible outside of the classroom.
An amazing professor, who cares about his students!
Professor Long was a great teacher, I took him for the summer and he did everything to ensure his students learned. He created his own booklet to study and I recommend studying for that over reading the chapters because the stuff he is testing on it'll be on the booklet. He's such a kind person and very understanding about situations.
I wish he could be my professor, I watched all of his Youtube Video for my A&P 1 and 2 from another state lol. I keep watching his clips over and over for every exam and practical, the only source I know I can trust for my classes. Just came to check and happy to see he is still teaching.
BEST PROFESSOR I'VE HAD. Mr. Long is a very knowledgeable and caring professor. He always explains the lecture material as best as he can to get the point across to us, and labs are a breeze!
While this class is challenging, Prof. Long makes it engaging. His lectures are informative, and he provides ample resources to succeed, including the helpful Unstuckstudy platform. With diligent effort, this course can be very rewarding.
One of the best teachers i ever had Very passionate about hir work, funny and caring. Said something to me in the beginning of the semester that made me worker ever harder just to make him proud I love him.
Off his youtube lectures this professor is beyond amazing and very very knowledgable. Teaches extremely well and is truly a gem.
