What Students Say

I'm going to make the review simple Smartbook Assignments: does not contribute toward grade or tests (even though he stresses it) Lecture: He emphasizes some concepts from his slides that "these are going to be on the test" when hardly any of them do Tests: These are not your common canvas tests, be prepared to study

He really cared about his students success but you do have to put in the work. He's very smart & knows his stuff. He was clear with his lectures & what was going to be tested. I do recommend reading the chapters and using SmartBook. He mentioned how important SmartBook was & IT WAS! It helped me tremendously on the exams. Make time for this class!

I was worried about taking his class because he only had 2 reviews on here at the time, but now I am so glad I did. Take notes, show up to EVERY lecture, do your smartbooks, and there's no reason you should fail him. He can be lenient if he sees effort. Very, VERY smart and very respectable. Funny at the right times, too! 10/10 would take again.

To reply to the ignorant 3.0 review as my input: He says that smartbooks aren't graded from the beginning. They're just to help you. The emphasized points are on the tests, just from a clinical POV or in broader segments. Last, why do y'all expect TEST REVIEWS in COLLEGE? Anyways, 10/10 teaching style, would definitely take again.

Knows A&P really well. Con is he will say something will/won't be on a test but then it won't/will. Provides plenty of opportunities to help such as dropping lowest connect/VB quizzes & lecture exam. Even replaces 2nd lowest exam with final exam grade if it's higher Do the smartbooks, look at APR, and read the textbook. Best way to get an A!

What is said to be on the test is not always accurate with what is presented. Do not lack on the Smartbooks they are a great help in receiving a passing grade but it can become overwhelming, being that each Smartbook can range from 200-400 questions and the lecture exam itself is only 60 questions. Hard class but passable.

You need to read the material before lecture. Ideally, take notes ahead of time as well. If you don't, you'll be fine, but it's a lot better if you do. I also recommend recording the lectures. Someone told me he was really tough before I took the class, but that was not my experience. Don't be a slacker and you'll be alright.

Professor Demelo-Cevallos was a great professor. He is very intelligent and does a great job at keeping his lectures engaging. This class was very difficult and required a lot of work, however, he gives you many chances to keep a good grade. If you're willing to put in the work, you will be just fine in this class.

Very lecture heavy even on lab exams and requires a lot of studying!! Smartbooks do help but they are very long (around 5 hours long depending on chapter) and it can be hard to retain all the info for exams. Highly suggest going to lecture bc a lot of info is provided. Professor talks very fast so make sure you pay attention!!!

Professor Demelo gives you all of the tools needed to pass the class. You definitely need to do a good amount of studying, however, it is very easy to pass his class and he doesn't try to confuse you with his wording on his exams. Overall, easy to understand and a great professor!

Fun professor to have. There's not really a review to go off of for exams but just go through his powerpoints, if you need clarification on further things I usually just went into the textbook, even if it may not seem that important to know. He gives a lot of opportunities for grade improvement, if possible I plan to take him for both A&P I and II.

The class itself is very hard, He was a decent professor but he could have been more engaging. For lecture class he was great but in lab he just told us what to do and that was it. Not sure if I would take him again. This is a 100% honest review. Took this class because of the good reviews but not all of them are legit....

HORRIBLEEE class I'm not sure why he has good ratings. He rushed through the lectures and expected everyone to understand everything. When asked about exam reviews he said to basically go through all the power points and pray for the best (50-70 slides). Not very helpful very arrogant. I would not recommend if you need this to get into nursing.

Made it difficult to keep up went through 80 to 90 slides quickly. Doesn't pause long enough for students to understand material. Moved on before we could grasp what was being taught on slides. He should consider adjusting his lecture speed. As well as engaging more with students and asking questions so that the material can be understood better

Labs were not bad, but all he does is sit in his chair and is on his phone the entire time wish he could engage more and go over materials that we would see in lab exams.

DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THE GOOD RATINGS!! This was my first the first time I ever withdrew from a class. He is not very good with his lectures he goes thru it so FAST and expects you to grasp everything in seconds. He even added that he was not going to "baby" us With reviews bc nursing school wont be like that. SAVE YOURSELF, DONT take this class!!

Chose him because of the good reviews, and turns out it's because he gives extra credit for it! All he did in lab was sit in his chair. He wants you to show up, but doesn't even put in the effort to teach properly. Do not take him, most of my classmates failed his class, and now we have to retake it . Extra credit if you get a 100 on lab exam.

This class was very hard, however he is one of the only professor at TCC that give multiple choice questions for Lab Exams! It's a very very hard class, not only because of the content, but also he does not give reviews. However, for labs if you utilize APR he uses the exact same photos and I did wayyyyy better in lab because of using APR.

Prof was nice. He is passionate about teaching + knowledgeable. Only complaint is he didn't stop the same student answering. One classmate answered every time fast. I didn't get to try + think. He takes the course seriously, but tries to be lighthearted w/ it. Does not offer study reviews BUT HE DOES give you the answers to several questions! 8/10

Great prof very knowledgable& passionate about the subject. He doesn't give reviews for test but does give you some test questions w/the answers and puts a few extra question so you are able to miss a few questions and still make a 100 on the test. Class is pretty hard& has A LOT of info at one time but if you put the work in you should pass. 9/10

The lectures were interesting and informative, with some occasional humor to keep us engaged. There is a lot of material to get through so some topics don't get covered as extensively. I thought he did well to explain the most important and tougher topics of the class. He offers a few review questions for tests and some extra credit as well.

I enjoy his class because he does thoroughly explain topics, especially when questions are asked. This lecture class is very content heavy so you have to be prepared to listen & take notes. I appreciate the opportunities that are given for extra points/extra credit. I definitely recommend this professor!

Tyler is a great professor, he just teaches a very hard class. There is lots of content to memorize and it has often been very overwhelming. I like that he gives opportunity for extra credit and also our lowest exam grade gets dropped.

Great professor, this class was tough but Mr.Cevallos made it more understandable. He really shows how much he cares for his students. He explains our topics very clearly and he's one of the smartest people ever. He knows almost everything, every question that we had he would have the perfect answer plus more additional information. Take his class!

The professor was cool, not very lenient with making up work or exams but reasonable with grading. He gives lots of opportunity to do well in class, but you have to do the work on your end. He talks so fast in lecture so make sure to brush up on the material before class.
