I got a B but I was not pleased. Dr Sharma was not always clear in what he wanted from his students. He expected his students to know what he knows, and if this is your first biology class there is no way to know even half of what he knows. I learned because I studied hard.

Professor Sharma is a well rounded professor, he expects his students to read, so if your looking for an easy class don't take him. If you are willing to read, take notes, do his labs then you will find his class pretty simple. He doesn't give reviews that are just like the test so you will have to study. If you are looking to learn then take him.

Excellent professor, clearly knows his stuff and is passionate about the subject. Sometimes difficult to get a clear cut answer but he's there to lead you to the not hand it over to you. Hybrid class was very difficult but I learned more in his A&P one class than all my sciences combined (including A&P II).

This is one of the best classes i have ever taken, Dr Sharma emphasizes on the learning process encourages his students to read and knows each one of them personally. In a system where all many students care about he has made us realize that we should care more about what we learn and this is what most students need. it was awonderful class.

For lab, he does not spoonfeed you. Textbook needed to complete his lab. The only reason why I don't like him is because he dumbs down his lab exams so you end up studying for harder concepts than needed. Tendency is, you miss the questions he will ask on the exam. It's a lot of memorization, and he gives too many life lectures-irrelevant to class.

I really struggled with this class. His style of teaching (lecturing, hands-on activity) is not for me at all, and I did poorly on most tests. However, he is a very passionate professor who cares about his students and he did what he could to save my grade. If you can keep up with him, he is a very solid choice and you will learn a lot.

I took this professor for Anatomy Lab. His exams were very hard and focused more on lecture components, rather than lab components. He did not lecture much, so be prepared to teach yourself. A lot of the material on the exams came straight from the review, but be prepared to study. Also, takes a bit to reply to emails.

Dr. Sharma is one of the best professors at HCC. He actually cares about his students and their futures. Of course you have to work for your grade because A&P is challenging within itself. I had him for both lecture and lab. The main things to focus on is reading the textbook. He even says himself that you actually need to read outside of class.

Dr. Sharma's accent is extremely thick. His tests are scantron, fifty questions each. They are ridiculously hard; this is an introductory course - not Ph.D level. This should not be as difficult as he makes it out to be. I be kinda expecting to have to repeat this class. TLDR: Avoid him.

DO NOT take professor Sharma. He reads off a power point, you take your own notes, he has a very thick accent and difficult to understand at times, and anything he talks about in class is not on his exams. His reviews are not on his exams either. His class is solely on your own knowledge of understanding of the material and teaching yourself.

I would avoid him unless you are a genius at anatomy. I passed this class because I relied on youtube teachers and outside resources (aaron ament, etc) to teach myself. Attendance is mandatory and his lectures don't help at all. He reads word for word off the ppt, doesn't explain the how and why properly. Fail one test and you might fail the class.

He's a total gem and passionately cares about his students. He may call out on you during class participation but don't be nervous about it!

He seems to be passionate about teaching but unfortunately that's not enough. He grades the test by pulling you to the side individually and corrects the test right there with you and if you do bad he lets you hear it, I find he can be very discouraged and it's not tough love it's just rude. You have to be able to teacher yourself as well.

In the Lab, he never tests on anything that he hasn't mentioned, so make sure to take notes and do what he asks, including benchwork documents.
