This prefessor gives test that you basically have to memorize alot. If you are good at memorizing information this class is for you. He curves his test. I took him for A&P1 and got a B but I think I really made a C. I am taking him for A&P and he is hard. It is hard to understand him. Makes jokes in class that no one knows what he is talking about.

Dr. Imo cares about student?s success. I would definitely recommend him, although he may be difficult to understand sometimes. He often uses examples that you can relate to or that are easy to remember. The only thing I didn?t like was his test reviews for the lecture exams. He gave more info than needed, which was not on the test. FABULOUS!

This class was fairly useless. He gives extra credit, but lab is just busy work. He doesn't actually teach the labs. He just hands out the lab and has you fill it in without prividing any of the materials to actually do the labs. He oversimplified the material to the point that it was wrong. AVOID!

Dr. Imo's class was by far the most challenging I have taken. I felt that there was a discrepancy between his lecture and the test. However, he is a nice individual, and will help students who actually need it, but don't expect to use him as a crutch. He is funny, and uses neat analogies to help understand the material. He is very inspirational.

This is the professor you want! He was recommended by a classmate of mine and Im glad I listened! I took him for A&amp;P I&amp;II. He is very nice, he explains the material very well and he cares for his students. He tests can sometimes differ than the specifics of a lecture so its good to complete his study guides in Canvas and read your textbook.

Good guy but okay lecturer. Much of AP2 I had to learn externally on my own. Exams are 100 questions each (a lot but not super hard) & he gives reviews a week before. He points out the important stuff during lectures, but ultimately, you end up teaching yourself the material. Dr. Imo's not tricky or deceitful, but just be prepared to fly solo.

His exams are just based on his reviews, so pay attention to those reviews they help a lot! He makes sure you understand the material and he is always willing to go his way to help you. The class itself is challenging, but he tries his best for us to understand it.

Unfortunately, I found no interest in his lectures. He doesn't drop the lowest grade, overall he's a nice Professor, but to me not very much helpful.

You will have to teach yourself. He only reads through very broad written PowerPoints, and he goes over them quickly. The lecture slides/book provided for you will be in detail, which will be on tests. He will help you, but you have to put in work. Personally, if you want a clear understanding of the material, I would take a different professor.

He's very nice, but the lectures weren't helpful for me due to a heavy accent and mismatched slides. I self-studied using the provided slides and YouTube. He gave 50 out of 100 exam questions 7 days before, guaranteeing a 50, and generous curves (5&#8211;10 points). There is little work and 2 finals. Be prepared to teach yourself, but I do recommend him.
