Absolutely amazing professor. I was so scared to take biology as science is not my strong, but his class was structured well. He doesnt make you get the book, instead he gives all in the info in the lectures. I made quizlets based off of his lectures and was able to get an A.

You basically teach yourself based off the lecture videos and notes (Not worth money/time). Long lecture videos and notes. Make sure you don't have a busy schedule if you decide to take this course since it requires at least 6+ hours of completing assignments and studying rigorously.

He is alright overall, but I wouldn't rate him a 5. He does not provide many PowerPoints or any, depending on what your learning. He doesn't break things down during lecture in a way where you will comprehend how things connect but rather give an outline.

On the first day of class the professor asked 3 anatomy questions but nobody answered. At the end of our last lecture, he asked the same questions again and this time the class responded to all 3 questions correctly. Sick!

I took prof H for Anatomy 001 in my freshman year first semester, and he was super supportive of every student! He writes his lecture notes on board, doesn't use PowerPoints, but you learn so much from his class. Definitely the class is not an easy A, you gotta work real hard and know the material; but it pays off. Very supportive, be try thorough!

I think Professor Hernandez teaches this class as best as he can. The class itself is not an easy subject and there are a lot of strutcutres and funcitons you need to learn. The workload is mainly studying. I studied every single weekend and did not have a life all semester.

Loved being in his class has a great personality. But Personally if you want to pass anatomy do not take him. Very unorganized. He will fall behind him self but still test you on it and he'll say he said explained it. No lecture power points to study off of. Only your notes. Very unorganized!!

He is a really nice professor and gives good feedback and always ready to help. He provides a lot of resources to help you succeed in anatomy. It also helps to make time every week to practice with the models at the learning assistance center.

His lecture style keeps me engaged because it forces me to write down the material which is super helpful with anatomy. He also provides guides on how to study for lecture and lab. All the PPT images he uses in lecture are in the lab manual associated with the pre-lab exercises, so I usually bring it with me to lecture. Lectures are interactive.

If you haven't taken Anatomy before don't take this class. It was taught like a crash course. The lectures felt very rushed and the notes seemed useless when it came to quizzes and tests. It helps to read chapters ahead of class because he adds stuff on the tests, he hasn't gone over yet. Overall, he means well, he cares about his students.

I LOVE PROFESSOR Hernandez's LECTURES, ENERGY, AND PASSION FOR TEACHING. The lab is a lot but it was well structured plus he provides a bunch of resources. Lecture quzzes and exams are based only on material presented during lectures. Just keep up with the work and don't fall behind Overall, I learned a lot.

AMAZING class! first year student and passed with an A. You get the grade based on the amount of work you put in. He drops 1 lecture exam and two lab & lecture quizzes. All you need to study are his notes(voice record his lecture) whatever he doesn't write on the board but says it in class might be on the exam. Plenty of chances for extra credit.

Start studying for the final as soon as he gives the study guide. It's crystal clear and the only material that shows up on the final is what is on the study guide. I procrastinated not realizing how much we had actually covered over the semester. Now I regret.

stay on top of your studying b/c the material builds quickly & review all the support he posts (videos, etc.) on Canvas. FYI: The EC questions on all lab exams will either be a histology slide + a dissection, X-ray image & dissection, or X-ray image + histology slide. Make sure to maximize your time in lab with the models too.

I was not a big fan of his lectures, due to him not writing all the information on the board. BUT I would retake him AGAIN. I'm currently reviewing for my TEAS exam and I can confidently say Hernandez did outstanding job preparing his students for these types of exams and for Physiology. Advice: Learn your study method.

I actually liked his lectures.There's quite a bit of Q & A during lecture and the energy and enthusiasm he brings to class helps. He uses props to illustrate things in lecture. There is very little that he says but does not write on the board. He did tell the class on the first day only what he says or writes is fair game. Listen for "key point".

Great professor, the workload is super straight forward and 100% doable. I'm taking it now during the 5-week summer session, so it's pretty intense. if you study, you'll be fine. His lecture style is fun and engaging and he does not have monotone style. I would definitely take any class this Professor teaches!

If you want to learn Biology, just take him. His class materials are organized and easy to understand. Be prepared to do the lab work. He is a fair grader. If he understands that you are trying, he would help you out one on one. Very knowledgeable, and I am so glad that I was able to take his class.

Great professor! I was retaking the class, and with him, it was easier to understand the material. His class consists of him writing on the board and you taking notes. I'll recommend him, but put in the work! He provides study guides for the lab, extra credit, drops 1 lecture exam, and drops the lowest score for lecture and lab quizzes.

I honestly wish all science professors were like this professor. yes, anatomy is a hard subject but the fact that he gives you all kinds of material to succeed in his class is why I'm rating him high. I took him during a full semester and it was intense, but he was always there to answer questions when needed.

Biology 003 was very interesting, self-paced, and easy to pass if you put in the work. PART of the course uses an online program. If you do the work, you can get an A. It was a lot of work, but definitely doable. Quizlet is your best friend with this class. TRUST ME, TAKE THIS CLASS!!
