Talk about taking an extremely terrifying course & turning it into something totally approachable & understandable. Super easy tests, quizzes, & lab write-up's. Totally wiry w/ the best dry sense of humor. Simply the best! Peeeeeople....
If science is not your subject, this is the right teacher. He explains everything in baby steps. He puts it all together and he makes it interesting. Easy test. Easy going. Good wise crack here and there. If you got him, stick with him.
If you fail this class it's because you simply aren't trying at all. He makes what can be a boring subject interesting with his dry wit. Plus there are no surprises. The tests and quizzes are not too difficult if you study at least moderately. He reviews for each exam, says what type of questions will be there, and sticks to that. A good choice.
Kendall teaches what comes in his exams, if you study his notes you'll pass. Makes Bio intresting, I do recommend!

Lecture Class: Four Quizzes, One Midterm, One Final. For Lab class: One Midterm, One Final. Assignments: Two Short Essays. Buy only the lab book and Dr. Kendall will assign extra credit of one point for each "Self Test" completed. Warning - Dr. Kendall has a bad habit of incorrectly grading exams so please double check your answers.
This Prof. teaches with humor and patience. You can easily get an "A" like I did by studying his notes and participating with easy lab experiments. All you need is the lab book to do your assignments/homework. You must type two essays based on Biology/Environment. His exams are true/false and multiple choice. Best Biology Professor!!!
I hadn't taken biology in many years, and prof kendall taught it to us with great clarity. I absolutely loved his style of teaching. He is a very patient man and he loves what he teaches. Highly recommend him.
The best biology professor there is! He gives 4 quizzes(drops the lowest one), 2 midterms(lab and lecture), 2 finals(lab and lecture), 12 easy lab assignments and one 2 page written report. He also gives a lot of extra credit which will pull your grade up easily. The tests are easy with maybe a few tough questions. Overall must take professor.
100% Clarity!!!!!. very pleased to have him as a professor, you can actually understand everything he says unlike most of the professors in laguardia who don't speak 100% English, gives a lot of useful notes, everything on the notes is on the exams. I could have got an A if i had slept the night before my final.. anyway.. your final grade is based
He is very old but he is a good Prof. The best so far that I have had. Very easy going and very lay back.
Have to take Dr. Kendall for bio class. His tests are hard and tricky, but based only on his lecture. If you put enough effort and time you can get an A. He makes bio interesting.
Overall she makes Anatomy and Physiology interesting. He is a really good professor, but his exams are hard and tricky but only on his class lecture. You have to make sure you study all of his notes and make sense of it. Must take!
This is really a wonderful prof. That being said, this is NOT a class to take if you want an "easy A". Take another prof. BUT if you want to actually learn everything and be truly challenged, this is the BEST prof. My study habits have changed because of him and now I am prepared for anything. I received a hard earned A and know everything!
He is okay, but I don't recommend him if you want a good grade like an A. You need to study hard for his class because he'll teach you a lot that your brain might not all absorb. Also, he's quizzes are very tricky.
He is extremely old school in his teaching method. You will not get a thorough understanding of the subject nor will you remember any of it 5 years from now. He'll throw material on his quizzes/tests that was not covered in class or covered in the suggested reading. He makes relatively easy material complicated to weed out nursing students.
If your looking to get a good grade, definitely do not take dr. kendal's class. His quizes are very tricky and sometimes covers material that was not in his lecture. He is never available for extra help outside of class and even if his whole class is doing bad he does not curve grades. About 15 kids dropped the class in my one class this semester!!
If you want an easy A then its not for you. He teaches a lot and you have to study hard to get A. There is no extra credit at all. In every quiz he gives 2 questions from reading assignment and 2 short answers. others are mc, true false. Midterm and lab written test will have 4 to 5 short answers. I like his teaching style. Overall very nice prof.
I Would NOT recommend this professor to anyone. He's not worth the time, experience or money.
He is good and his exams are not very hard. He is very clear and knows the material. I would recommend him to anyone who is a hard worker. If you want an easy A don't take him.
Do not take him if you want an A. His quiz are tricky. He's old school,he gives a lot of notes. NO extra credits and he does not help you out.
If you care about your GPA do not take him. I am a straight A student and could not obtain an A in his class.
He is a very informative professor. If you are a hard worker take him. DON NOT TAKE HIM IN A SIX WEEK COURSE! He will load you with information and then give you a 20 question quiz. 2 from reading which he tells u before quiz and 2 short answer which are such curveballs it's unbelievable. I have a 4.0 and i had to drop the class.
The worst prof ever his quiz and test are extremely hard
You will be wasting your time and energy. NO matter how much effort, time and dedication you spend in studying you will not succeed in his class. whole class could be failing and he wont even address it.
No matter how hard you work, you will not do week in this class. Tests are tricky and full of uncovered material. DO NOT take him if you want to pass.
I didnt like his way of teaching. He was so boring, and his tests/quizes was with material he hadn't really covered. most of the class dropped this class. he gives no reviews or give extra help if you are failing. Do NOt take him if you want to keep a good gpa.
I found the material very difficult and there is a lot of information. He doesn't narrow down what areas to study, and he expects highly detailed knowledge about the most complicated areas of the text. Beyond that, his test questions are tricky. He is very clear and loves his subject though.
One of the best professors at BMCC. Exams are based on his lectures. You can read the textbook as a supplement if needed. The book is only really used for a couple of questions on a particular topic he picks. He is very clear in his lectures and will often repeat and exphasize what you need to know and understand. His exams are easy when you STUDY!
Prof. Kendall is a really great professor. He gives out highly organized notes, he explains his lectures clearly and assists his students by posting lab practical exams on blackboard. Also, his quizzes are slightly difficult. Whoever is taking him should focus more on his notes than the book. But, overall, he's excellent. just study hard.
I had prof Kendall as my LAB professor only. I just want to point that out because I can't speak for his lecture classes. But as a lab professor he is excellent! His quizzes can be very difficult BUT he gives you all the materials you need to study and a LIST that goes with it. Exam questions are all based on those, your are good.
One of the best anatomy professors in the school. He is crystal clear and understand lie during his lectures. Study his notes and read book on his assignments. Study hard his quizzes are hard and extremely tricky. I learned so much from him I wish he was my 204 professor. Lazy people should not take his class he is strict but fair. Study study hard
I only took him for lab, but I can imagine how bad his lectures may be. This guy has a really great personality, but it did not help me do well in the class. He gives lab quizzes every week and they were easy at first, but got harder as the semester went on. Lab practicals are REALLY hard and he's not too specific about the topics on them.
LECTURE ONLY! I just wrapped up a 6 week semester of SCB 203 with Professor Kendall. WOW! toughest semester of my life, personally I liked Kendall. But this class is not for the lazy. His teaching style is straight lecture and notes, he explains everything clearly. Study his notes more then the textbook. My only issue was his exams are TRICKY!!
Strongly advise against taking Dr. Kendall. Overall good guy but lectures are very long(all powerpoint). Lessons do not feel modern, or interesting. Exams are very difficult. Even if you study hard they can be tricky. Not an easy A, or B for that matter. I was looking forward to A&P1 but it's been a very frustrating & disappointing semester.
Had him for lab only. He gives out worksheets at the beginning of almost every class. This is ur test material as well as ur notes. His teaching method worked for me. straight foward and organized. teaches u what u need to know on ur level. second time taking anatomy and he made a difference in my experience this time around.
Best anatomy professor. Crystal clear to understand what he is teaching. Study his notes and read assignments you will do well in class. Exams are extremely tough and tricky. Do not take him if you hope for an easy class. he makes you work for the grade. No extra questions. His notes are amazing.
Want A?First read his notes very carefully and listen to his lec, always be ready to add those extra info that he usually gives during his lec. Whatever is in bracket "do memorize it" like Adrenalin (epinephrine). Functions, locations and examples very important. I am a full time student and I work, if I can get A then so can you. :)
Took for lecture and lab. Follow HIS NOTES, they are KEY to passing. Quizes were easy, but tricky at times so I recommend reading TB for better understanding. Grading was based ONLY on quizes and exams. I missed lecture 4-5x, did poorly on a few quizes, but great in lab. Overall, got a B+. He is a fair grader and an encyclopedia, ask him anything.
Professor Kendall is a very knowledgeable professor. He knows what he's talking about, and can clearly explain anything you don't understand. You can tell he loves what he teaches, and makes the lectures enjoyable to sit through. His quizzes and tests are fair, as long as you're willing to study. I highly recommend him. Wish I had him for A & P 1.
I had to drop his class because I took it in the short (6weeks) session. I could not catch up the two exams a week, I needed an A. Well, all 203 classes has the same amout of exams. So I re-took his class in the (12wks session). As long as you study what he did in the class, you'll ge good grade. In addition, his English is clear. He's American.
difficult grader, does not like to be interrupted at all during class and does not answer questions clearly. Lab exams are right next to lecture exams and both are hard. Not an easy class
Cool dude! Very organised, very knowledgeable, well groomed professor. Study his prepared papers and you will be fine. I love that he repeats himself over and over, that way it sticks. Study and understand his presentations and you will do well.
I had him for the fall session. His a nice guy but his test are difficult. There was about 36 people in the class and we ended up with 12 people.
There is no HW aside from bringing simple presentations that he provides on BB. Exams are multiple choice w/2 written, not difficult but read his questions carefully. There is a lot of note taking. Focus on the note and presentations and you are golden! You could read the textbook but if you are focused in class you won't need it much.
Explain to depth, quizzes are okay you have to study,
I took AP2 with Dr. Kedall at BMCC- hes a nice guy, funny, engaging when he wants to be. Write down everything he says, always at least one question on something he mentions conversationally.
Professor Kendall great professor. We used handouts, he explained everything so well. Caring, experienced professor. Take him, great for the lecture & lab.
Very good professor, so organised, and knowledgeable. Study his handouts and you will do well. Take his class I highly recommend
I had professor Kendall for my lab, he provided us with study materials, well explained. Enjoyed his classes. Learned a lot. Study his handouts & you'll do well.
He'd been teaching for a long time @LaGuardia, very good organized professor. Well prepared to give you most important study papers, little reading from the book for the written two Q's on his quizzes/tests. Very to the point. Take him, study & you'll do well.
Great professor, I worked FT and took Psy. class as well, got an A if you study his handouts, and pay attention in his class youll do well... Fair professor, I enjoyed his class.
I was pretty nervous taking A&P as I havent been in college for over 6 years. Yes this class is intense and it is a lot of material but Professor Kendalls lectures are clear and he gives you lots of examples to remember the material. He truly is a fantastic professor. You wont regret taking him.
He really is the best professor at LaGuardia. He is super organized and always has his notes posted for you ahead of time. You have to study hard but I really enjoyed his class.
This was the hardest class Ive ever had to take. If you are looking for easy A, dont ever take this. Because in his class, you need to know every little thing, every term and be familiar with all the concepts. Hes very organized and all his lectures were online before the class, but thats the only good thing I can think about
Cool teacher. Enjoyed his class. Take notes when lecturing. Provides humor and interesting trivias to lessons.
Prof. Kendall is an amazing, humorous, and passionate professor. he gives you the notes and lecture on what you need to study for the test. his way of giving extra credit is unique because he gives you a passage to read, and you know the questions are going to be from there. he is very knowledgable, makes the lecture interesting. take his class!!!
Memorize his notes and do well on tests and you'll get an A! Took his class for 6 wk course and it was literally 2-3 quizzes and lab tests a week but it was doable. Used the textbook for a few things but his notes are very clear. Great professor, funny and knowledgeable.
He is very good professor.
Professor Kendall is an amazing professor. I took this class in the 6 week session. He explains the material well and will break it down to make the subject more understandable. He gives out practice quizzes and an assigned reading and there will be two questions on the quiz based on that. You can tell that he really cares about his students!
I've completed both 203 and 204 and thankfully, both lecture professors have been amazing. Kendall truly is a gem. Everything you need is in his lectures and the stuff he posts on Blackboard. As long as you read and study his notes, record/listen to his lectures? You'll be fine.
He is one of the best professors I ever have. Is fascinating to be in his class you will have the opportunity to learn and have a good understanding of A&P. If you really love what you are doing, you will enjoy his class so much. As long as you put your effort, you will be more than fine.
The best professor, easy A
By far the best AP 203-204 LECTURE professor @ Lagcc, Simple quizzes compared to other professors that are trying to fail you! Can't speak about lab though... Lecture, he's an easy A
His lecture class exams/quizzes are very difficult. You have to read the text book otherwise you wont get good grades....
The quiz/exams are so hard and NOT related to class material(handout). What he taught in class NEVER will be in the quiz/exam, maybe 1 of 25 questions! Exam mostly base on textbook, you need to read the book by yourself, basically you need to study this course by yourself. I don't know why he gets so high rating, so regret to take his class!
Professor Kendall is very caring and available outside the class. Contact him if you have any questions. 6 quizzes are hard, midterm and final is easier compare to quiz. Focus on his lecture and pay attention to what he said, you will be fine
Don't even waste your time, he is very rude to students. His lectures are off-topic, he does not care if you fail or are having issues with your exam.
He does not care, he is so apathetic to when students are having issues, I understand he is an older gentleman so he may not be tech savvy but at least try and work with us when everyone is having issues.
DONT NOT TAKE HIM. HE ALWAYS OFF TOPIC AND GIVE YOU STUDY GUIDE THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE TEST
Great informative and entertaining lectures and Labs. Make sure to study, study, study.
Pro, Kendal uses lame PPT without any pictures for Bio Lab. He uses five to 10 slides on each chapter and it is so frustrating to read them. You literally have to do all the work to understand. He provides no additional tools to study and ends the class way ahead of time. You take his class you fail in life and in courses!
He is very straight forward. You need to study a lot, but he is a really good professor.
He was one of the best professors, a seasoned in A & P. I like his teaching style. He simplified the material, Explained it through drawings, and listened to his lecture because it was helpful during quizzes and exams.
The best professor and very reasonable. Funny, kind and great teaching. Simplifies his teaching in his presentation and listen very carful in the class. great teaching. Of course, self study is very important. You will easily get an A if you do not get distracted in between. Study and quiz yourself.
Professor Kendall is so very fair with his gradings. If you get some parts of his quiz wrong, he gives partial credit. He is fair and funny too
He is one of the best professor at Lagcc.
had him for lab and i dreaded this class every week. he talks VERY slowly smh. also he gave zero tips on how to memorize bones/muscles for the practical exams. only pro is he's organized and uploads all handouts to BB at the beginning of the sem so everything's available. but those practicals are no joke lmao and sunk my grade for this class!!!
He is a great professor. His material is not a lot and his quizzes are based on his handouts so it's easier to memorize. He gives full credits on lab if you make partial mistake.
Hes not clear on what he want, idk y his rating is high when he's the opposite of what everyone said here. LEC is awful, lab is ok. DONT BE FOOLED hes rude,oldschooled,respond to questions half-assed, hard to reach outside class. Files are too compact & you have to do all the research on your own, this made exams hard to study. Ruined my straight A
He ruined my 4.0 GPA. He may be good during his time, but not anymore. He is rude and would dismiss students when asked questions. I respect him like a grandpa, but his teaching style is so outdated. His materials are confusing. You need to spend a lot of time studying by yourself. No study guide. No extra credit.
He is very rude don't take him. If you ask something he gets annoyed like you should know everything.
RIP professor. I was very sad to hear about your demise. May heaven be with you. Thank you professor. We were the last batch and thank you again Mr. Indeed
