Loved having Professor Aguirre for lab. His lectures are straightforward and takes the time to answer questions/help students out for exams. He honestly does make the material quite easy, in my opinion. We in turn, just need to put in the effort afterwards and study hard. This is A&P, repetition is key!

He is an excellent Professor. He knows how to teach. He makes sure that every student understands the subject. He always answers the students questions. His lecture tests are not easy, but if you understand the subject you will do well. The questions on the Lab are easy. If you want to do well in your Health Care career, take him.

Prof. Aguirre is a wonderful teacher for A&P. He's very thorough with the content we're required to know. A&P isn't difficult, it's simply dense material, and you need to make sure you understand in A&P the what's, why's, and how's with Prof. Aguirre.

He was my SCB204 professor in Fall Session II. His lectures tend to be a little long, but he is very engaging. You must take notes during class discussion if you want to pass. He respects his students and is more than happy to answers questions and clarifications. I wish he was my SCB203 professor. I have learned a lot from his class. Thank you!

BEST professor! Took him for A&P I and then had to take him for A&P II because he's so great. Explains everything really well, breaks down the info for you. All the tests come directly from what he's taught during lecture, so you have to show up and take notes. I think I took 5+ pages of notes per class. So friendly, funny and passionate. A gem.

He was the most horrible professor I have ever taken. Take him if you want C and F Or W's. He is so horrible that he forced one of his hard-working students to drop their class. The whole class suffered him really bad. he would mostly make you read in breakout groups urself. I had Straight A in all classes till now but he was the worst teacher ever

His explanations are very clear with nice examples. He will tell you that his PowerPoint is enough for your quizzes and exams. But when you're taking the test it will be another story because nothing he teaches you in class will be in the exam. If you want to sturdy hard, day and night but still end up failing the class, so he is the one for you.

Excellent professor for A&P. He is by far the best professor in LAGCC. His lectures are amazing and give real-life examples for his students to understand which really helps. His quizzes are a bit tricky, but if you take his lecture notes, you will ace them! Listen and jot down everything in your notes and it should be fine.

He is a great lecturer! His classes are very entertaining. He words the material in a way that makes it easy to grasp. Get ready to write lots of notes as he only has pictures in his PowerPoints, so notetaking is necessary. His tests do get a bit tricky and much harder than the material discussed in class. Read your textbook if you want to pass.

Aguirre is the best A&P professor that you can find at LaGuardia,he explains everything very clear, and he really knows his stuff. He can give you a lot of information, but you learn a lot too,plus he's very organized. His class is like taking a real college level class. Take Aguirre if you want to learn, but not if you don't like to make efforts.

If you want to fail class, take him !!! He is making his own nonsense tests at last minute, full of mistakes and paraphrased material to make it harder, specially if English is not your first language. I retook the class with another professor, and it was big difference. Simple questions like how its supposed to be, no stress and decent grade.

Overall a good professor. Passionate. However, I never used his PowerPoints for tests because not much that he said during lectures were in the powerpoint. Read the book** and takes notes during class. You need to study hard. Show up for class and participate. He can challenging but at least he is a good instructor and clear with the material. 4/5.

Professor Aguirre is much friendlier than he may look, but his is a tough class to excel in. Lectures take up the entire class, although he does make a lot of jokes. His exams tend to have trick questions. The textbook is free online, and you must read it and study hard or else you will be lost during the test.

Everything he says during the Lec comes up on the tests, so if you pay attention and take good notes, you're set. I never felt bored even with 3 hours of his morning class and he gives us breaks in btw. Highly recommend!

Best professor I've had at LAGCC thus far. I feel so lucky to have taken 204 with Professor Aguirre. His lectures are engaging, his tests are straight forward and he is so kind. Take detailed notes during lecture and attend the practice practicals. 204 can be challenging but an A is absolutely attainable. You won't regret taking this professor.
