I haven't taken his class but I heard he is very difficult to understand & his vocabulary is not always correct.
Who ever told you that Prof Diaz is hard has their senses all confused. This is the easiest biology professor someone can ever ask for. He summarizes every chapter on the board doesn't make you study from the book but rather from his notes which are very helpful. I highly recommend him for biology since most of us take biology because we have to
The best professor in miami dade ever. Easy A in his biology class, Summerizes what u need in the quiz and exams, practically gives u the answers. Just study his notes that he writes on the board, and and study the m/c questions at the end of each chapter and u get an A in his class
The best and easiest professor in miami dade. If you need to take a biology, or a life science course,take BSC1005 with Prof E.Diaz, even as an elective. Easy A if you come to class, copy his chapter summery and do and study the multiple choice questions at the end of the chapters. This class will boost up your GPA. Easy A
THIS PROFFESOR IS COOL.I GOT EM FOR BIOLOGY LAB. JUST READ THE CHAPTER, ANSWERS THE EXCERSISE ON BACK ,EASY GRADES.
This class is a must take with Prof Diaz, even if youre not a biology major. Take it as an elective. Easiest A u may receive f u show up to class. Prof Diaz is an extremely cool guy. Quizes and exams are very easy. Take if u want an easy At. Attendance is mandatory.
Wow this class was a breeze. Prof Diaz is an awesome Prof. It's an extremely easy class. Just read his summaries and you'll be good for the tests and quizzes. I didn't use the textbook so that was a waste. But overall, awesome class!
Good teacher, gives extra credit. tests & quiezzes straight from the summaries. Guaranteed A
The best professor! Study mostly the summaries, book is hardly ever used. Do all the extra credit work. Got an A in the class! best bio class ever!
I took him for biology lab. Class is real easy, all you have to do is show up for te lab and complete the simple excercise that is due next class. If you want to take an easy science class take it with this professor.
Class is a breeze. You don't learn anything at all. He makes you watch presentations. Doesn't explain anything. Heavy accent, mispronounces all tech terms. Great, fun guy. But don't take him if you actually want to learn. Do take him if you just want to get an easy grade in an otherwise difficult subject. Everything based on notes.
WHAT?He is great! His accent is a little strong BUT his class is good.He gives pt for attend & homework/The quizes r EASY!He tells u EXACTLY what u need to study.All u have to do is study from his notes-It doesn't get easier.If u are lazy, don't want to study then college is NOT for u. I recommend him 100%. Very charismatic and great attitude...
GREAT PROFESSOR. HE IS VERY FUNNY, NICE PROFESSOR. IF YOU MISS A TEST, HE LET YOU MAKE IT UP. YOU WILL REALLY LEARN AND THE CLASSES ARE FAST. TAKE HIM YOU WILL NOT REGRET. EASY A
EASY A. IF YOU DO YOUR HOMEWORK, YOU WILL BE OK. VERY GOOD PROFESSOR. HE IS ALSO A DR.
I actually enjoyed going to this class every week. Dr. Diaz makes showing up a pleasure; he is engaging and funny and teaches in a practical manner. I would like all my professors to emulate him.
Easy class. Taking the 6 week summer term. Gives quizzes and tests. Tells you what will be on them, in detail. Nice guy, gives quick lectures, lets you leave early. Don't necessarily need the book. He gives chapter summaries that you can study from.
He is a GREAT professor! He is very helpful and always tells you exactly what you need to focus on studying for exams and quizzes. Give you points for attendance and has a helpful grading policy. He is understanding and super cool. I defintely recommend him.I maintained a straight A in his class if you listen and take his notes. You can't go wrong!
extremely easy!! he tells you exactly whats going to be on the quizzez and exams. very nice, helpful and understanding. definitely take him for an easy A.I wish he taught anatomy 2.
Best bio teacher at MDC. The tests and quizes are extremely easy, he tells you exactly what will be on them and e-mails guides. You only need the book for the project (extra cred). He's funny and makes bio interesting. I'm not very into science but I loved his class. There were about 80 students and practically everyone passed with an A.
The easiest Biology class at MDC! His tests are exactly like the reviews and he will try his hardest to make sure you do good in his class. Take him!
GREAT PROF EVER!!!! YOU HAVE TO STUDY BUT FOR THOSE OF US WHO DO NOT LIKE BIOLOGY IT'S GREAT, HE EMAILS YOU THE REVIEW. I DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE ACCENT HE'S GREAT.
great great great great great !!!!!!!take himmmmmmmm. easy A
Dr. Diaz is the best Professor you are going to find at MDC for both A&P 1 and 2. I have taken him for both and on both got A's. Take him, you won't regret it...
Took him for lab and I think lab is harder than lecture, he's a fun guy just a little anal about his practicums and spelling the words correctly. Easy A, but just watch your spelling.
Great teacher! Took him over the summer and passed with an A. He's nice and helpful when you ask questions, he explains everything clearly, and gives reviews before tests. I'd take him again!
best professor for Biology he explain really good on words that you can understand he make study for the quizees and test but he tell you what exactly to study really easy if you study. He make the class interesting and quizes easy to do if you follow his instructions anyone can pass the class with A and not need of book
Best professor for biology! gives you questions to study and they are the EXACT questions on the test, anyone who has a hard time doesnt pay attention during his reviews, excellent teacher. Only allowed three absences, and he gives 20 points of extra credit at the end of the semester, one paper and one presentation. TAKE HIM
Explains perfectly, and helps students relate to the real world. I am not enthusiastic about biology, but thanks to this professor i understood it easily and actually got interested in the subject. Very good professor one of Miami-Dade College's best.
Great Professor! Dr Diaz is an amazing teacher he helps out his students and doesn't give you unnecessary material to learn. very straight to the point. Attendance is mandatory and you have to study bottom line. Definitely taking him again.
god professor!!!
Great Professor! is an amazing teacher he helps out his students and doesn't give you unnecessary material to learn. very straight to the point. Attendance is mandatory and you have to study bottom line. Definitely taking him again.
Ok I choose his class cuz of the ratings BUT now that I'm in this class he is a horrible teacher hes nice but he doesn't teach his projector does and he has a strong actsent his quizes are only lik 5to10 questions, he gives u a review but its not exactly what's on the test! Hes sweet and nice n lets class out early but he sucks as a teacher
I got him for both anatomy I and II Labs and he is so awesome!!! He will put on the projector the slides to memorize and out of that he will tell what exactly u need to study. 6 quizzes (5points each) and 3 practicums (20points each). Extremely helpful, funny and caring for his students. MUST TAKE!!! EASY A if you just study lil..seriously take him
This class is very easy! I'm horrible in science, and i'm passing his class! All you have to do is write down main points he says! Very straight to the point teacher. His test are simple, and not long. Book isnt mandatory, lab isn't required. TAKE HIM. He's nice and will work with you :)
Easy class
Great professor. He knows his subject matter like the back of his palm and knows exactly how to present it so that anyone can understand. This class is honestly all about memory. Study and you'll do fine. He tells you exactly what you need for the quizzes and test word for word. Very easy. Got an A.
Great professor for Lab. He knows his subject matter like the back of his palm and knows exactly how to present it so that anyone can understand. This class is honestly all about memory. Study and you'll do fine. He tells you exactly what you need for the quizzes and test word for word. Very easy. Got an A.
This professor tries to help students, but is not very good at communicating with you if you don't contact him during his office hours. I had to withdraw from his class because I missed a couple of classes and he wouldn't respond to my emails .asking what I should review for the quizzes. There was a quiz every week.
Great professor to take a Biology class if this is not your favorite subject. Makes the class extremely easy to understand. Attendance a must cause he reviews quiz and exam questions with each class. His tests are very easy if you put your part and study the summaries he gives with the lecture.
Very easy class that is based on his chapter summaries and review questions that he gives you each class so dnt miss any class, best of luck.
SO EASY! He tells you exactly what is on the test. Study and you will be fine. For lab, I HIGHLY recommend printing out his powerpoints before class and highliting the parts you need to know - it made the class very easy. Also, take pictures of the models before the test. Great professor; easy A.
EASIEST EVER!!! he sends you the summaries for each chapter of the book BEFORE the classes start! Super easy test and very good with extracredit! take him!
I took him for lecture and Lab. He is a not a great teacher... unfortunately but he does give a study guide ( very helpful :) so if you study the study guide you will automatically pass the test. Oh and 10 points of attendance.
He is the best professor, look at the summaries, (in general bio) look at the end of each chapter and BOOM you have the questions and answers for every test, he teaches everything in an easy manner for everyone to understand.
Horrible teacher. Very hard to understand, his summaries are poorly written. He bases his tests on his summaries and one page study guides. Do not recommend him at all.
Took him for Lab and honestly could have not chosen a better teacher. he is straight to the point, tells you exactly what to study so you aren't wasting your time. Of course Anatomy is hard and therefore you do need to study. Do not need book, with just the figures on his power point you'll be fine.
He is a very nice guy. I has for three classes and got A's.
Prof Diaz is AWESOME! Took him for both Anatomy 1 and 2 lecture and lab **Nursing students** This is an easy A to help with your GPA. He is very straight forward, tells you exactly what the quiz and test will have and very nice guy. He helps out the students if needed. Def. recommend him.
This was the best professor!! I have taken many science courses and could not believe how easy it was. Always study the questions on the board and review questions in the back of the book are the same as his tests!!!!!!!!!
Diaz is a great professor! He sends you all power points discussed in class and also all reviews for tests and quizzes. You need the book if you really want to understand the subject better but you will be fine with reading off his power points and answering every question to his reviews because everything in the review is on the test I got an A+
professor Dias is the best,, he gives a lot of questions that will help you get through tests and quizzes, got a Cuban accent and loves baseball,, if you wanna get in touch with him don't hesitate to make a move
Seriously this guy is awesome! He tells you what is going to be in the practicums and on the quizzes and lets u know what to not even bother with. There is a quiz every class (10 questions) and 3 practicums in total (50 questions) memorize the quizzes cuz that will be on the practicums.. Take him he's great!
He is simple the best! his accent and intrest in baseball makes him hot in my opinion. He let's you know what material to study for the tests and quizzes. Take him for bsc2085L and any other class he teaches, he is awesome you won't regret it! ;)
Provides all material needed for every quiz or exam. He also provides you with a PP presentation for each lecture. Only need the textbook if you really want to go more in depth regarding subject covered. He is big on attendance so do not miss, but his class is pretty easy.
Love him! Easy class, show up, pay attention, write down what he tells you that is going to be in the test, take the test and pass! You wont regret taking this professor.
He is amazing. He is the number one. He helps to prepare for the test and very smart to treat us as a student
One of the best professor ever that I have in this College. He help a lot . Study but his class is easy
4 tests, optional final that replaces lowest test score. Gives a quiz or two in between each test. Just show up everyday, he tells you whats going to be on the tests/quizzes in his lectures. He also sends out a study guide for each test and reviews it the day before the test. Professor Diaz knows the material well and is there to help. Take him!
He is very cool Professor here is what you know to know TEST is 80% 4 test QUIZ is 10% 4 quiz and One research paper is 10 % your only HW in the class so do it. He will review with you on every test. One more thing Attendance is very important if you miss class a lot he will lower your grade. He will go over power point with you.
Test is 60 points 3 of them20 point each 50 question Quiz is 30 points 6 of them 5 points each 10 question and last homework 10point and attendance.
He is a great professor. One of the best I've had. You have to study if you want to pass. He tells you exactly what you need to study. He is extremely helpful and he wants all his students to work hard. Book is not required but the Lab Book is .
The only good thing about this professor is that the review is exactly like the test. He reads straight from the power point. attending class is a complete waste of time. He is very rude and always dismisses the class early. I learned nothing from him. The whole class was self taught!
This teacher is the worst. His power points teach, not him. He goes over super long power points in about 5 minutes, and he goes so fast, it's impossible to take down any notes. He gives a quiz each class, fill in the blank, and he literally gives you not even 10 seconds before he changes the slide. I wouldn't take him if you want to pass.
He just reads straight and super fast his PowerPoint then that's be all for your class. Don't take him. All those reviews are liar, I'm so regret taking him.
Mr. Diaz is very inspirational. He helped me a lot during the two classes I took. He will go over power points in class and will tell you the terms that are going in the exam. However, I will recommend studying everything. He is flexible w/ terms if you misspelled some of them. You won't regret taking his class.!!!. Best professor ever.
He is the best professor everrrrrr. I will help you A LOT he is very compassionate. I will always get C or D because i didn't study and I passed the class because he helps you study for ever test and is super easy to understand. He gives you the exact same questions he reviews in class for the test . And he is a wonderful person. I LOVE HIM
He is the BEST professor! Yes, he reads through the powerpoint fast but he specifies which topics are important and will be on the test. He makes anatomy easy to learn and understand. He is a wonderful person overall. Anatomy isn't an easy subject but he does his best to break it down and I've learned so much. Would def take him again. So sweet too
Professor Diaz is amazing! He really cares that his students pass. You will have to study for this class but he goes over exactly what to study and what not to waste your time on. Would definitely take him again!
You learn absolutely nothing from this professor. All he does is read from the powerpoint, give you a study guide (which he reads right from the test). If you want to actually learn anatomy for whatever profession you are going into, do not take this professor. You literally just need to be there on review days and you'll pass.
Took him in summer term and with 12 weeks there is a test or quiz every other class... 4 test each one 20% of your grade, for it to be that fast and all he does is read from power points... no thank you
Dr. Diaz is an amazing professor. He touches the subjects you have to know. He leaves it up to you to study the points that are going to be on the test and does review days for tests. He made anatomy easy to learn. Clear and concise. He is the nicest person and has a sense of humor.
TEXTBOOK IS REQUIRED! If you take him for Lecture and Lab the book is $200. You are not allowed to buy from amazon or chegg. You can only buy from MDC Shop
Professor Diaz is amazing! He tells you what you need to know for quizzes and tests. Show up and study what he tells you and I promise you will get the grade you deserve. Those who say hes not good probably dont want to study anything because it doesnt get easier than this.
He reads off of a power point and tells you what will be in the test. Also, the class before a test, he will use as a review day and review things that are going to show up, a huge help. With some studying, you can get an A for sure. I did the bare minimum of studying and got a B, imagine what could happen if I studied more.
Dr. Diaz is a knowledgeable professor. He covers everything in broadly in class and makes sure to specify items that will be on tests/quizzes. His exam reviews are excellent, he wants you to pass. If he sees that you take the class seriously, he will help you if you need it. For our class, exams/quizzes/homework was on Pearson. Same with lab.
personally he didn't do anything for us as a prof. I had to learn for myself and one reason to never take him again is the fact the semester ended and I still don't know what I ended with. He has never posted one of our grades online which is mediocre.
He's a kind person and very knowledgeable. He graduated as a Doctor in Cuba. The class is very easy you just need to do your HW on Pearson, do well on Quizzes/Tests on Pearson as well and show up. Take him!
Reads off powerpoint slides. His accent is so strong it's hard to understand what he's saying and I speak spanish. He will skip through literally 159 slides in 10 minutes and you're somehow supposed to remember the material. He will pause for questions and when you ask them, he will say to look at the syllabus every single time. I DONT RECOMMEND
Easy A
Professor Diaz actually cares. A&P is generally a difficult subject so you will have to read and study a lot to get an A. Professor Diaz gives four tests and then many assignments and quizzes which will help you study for the tests. He does a review before every test which was so helpful! I got A for both lect. & lab with Diaz. Thanks Prof. Diaz!
Great professor, review before every test and teaches you what you need to know.
He's very knowledgeable, but he doesn't know how to explain. I didn't feel the class was hard but I had to teach myself everything. He has a "very clear grade criteria" which he won't use at the end, he gave me a C bc he felt it was the grade I deserved. I had to fight for my A; he only changed it bc I told him I'll appeal with the Dean of Students
Don't believe the reviews that these other people put. IT WAS ALL LIES!!! He literally reads WORD FOR WORD off of the Powerpoints! He does not give real life examples or explanations, He gave us a quiz literally the second day of class without actually going into details. This class goes by way to fast for all the info we need to retain.
Honestly he is a great professor only thing is that you have to study power-points but I would definitely take his class again
He's a great professor
Took his class during summer and of course it was a lot of information to retain but honestly he covered everything. He gives good reviews for the tests but you need to study. Tests are Hard!!, but if you actually go through his review you can succeed. Overall great professor.
