He's a nice guy and seems to know his work. Never know what to expect on his tests. He doesn't give midterm grades, have to calculate them on your own. I took him for bio150 and he told my class that he will not fail anyone and ended up failing half the class. He lies and I would not recommend him to anyone unless you're up for a challenge.
Dr E. is the best professor in the tri-state! His exams are very fair. You study-you pass! He always provides great feedback. I would LOVE to have him again. His is extremely honest and I strongly recommend him. Best ever!!!!!
ehh, Professor E is okay. Doubt i would take him again though. A&p is a tough class already, I rather a professor who breaks it down and makes learning fun, not boring. Good thing is we didn't need the textbook, tests were based off power point slides. No homework and no extra credit option
dr. Elias is the best! I got a B and he gives extra credit-extra points! You study-you get rewarded, you don't study-stop whining, it's not the professor, it's you. He also gave me a recommendation letter! AP is tough but he makes it much easier than other instructors at dccc. His lectures are fine, well structured. I will take him again!
He is a gentleman, an excellent educator and researcher! I enjoyed his class, but mostly my discussions with him. He is a true intellectual and a very caring human being! Very well organized lectures, always prompt, very supportive, fair exams, lots of extra points, recommendation letter, what else do you need? Just study. Dr. Elias is extra fine!
Dr. E is cool! he's a nice guy. Tough class, lab practical is no joke. Tests are either a hit or miss. No homework. I would suggest if you take him study study study. I took another professor for bio151 and they made it much easier. There are other options as far as professors , choice is yours.
very good instructor, fair and extra points. i did well in class, will take again next semester for ap2.
Great instructor and communicator, plenty of work but also extra points! Would definitely take again!
He is a great scientist and teacher! Got to study though! A lot!
Tough class, great professor, do not miss class, STUDY and you will do fine!
Students who have not taken a bio before this course may struggle. Myself and other students agree that studying for the exams is the biggest challenge. Class feels unorganized and rushed and content is often skipped. Prepare to study EVERYTHING because there aren't study guides. He is a kind professor and does wish all students could pass.
Good! Will take again!
dr. is the best! Great teacher, very friendly and supportive! Will take again for BIO151.
Save yourself the stress and pick another professor. Dr E makes A&P a difficult subject when it doesn't have to be. He doesn't explain the subject matter into detail. He's a nice guy but just not who I would recommend to anyone if you're thinking about taking A&P.
Anatomy and Physiology is hard bad enough, but Professor Argyris makes it much easier! He's very straightforward on what'll be on his in class exams. Very helpful when it came to the practical. Study, come to class, come to lab, pass.. SIMPLE.
I had him for BIO150, will take him again for BIO151. Outstanding professor and human being. One of the very best!!!
AAA+++
Dr. E. is the best professor at dccc! He is very caring, very helpful, gives great feedback, and extra credit. You have to participate and study hard though. You won't pass class if you don't deliver! He is extremely fair!
Dr. E. is a TRUE GEM!!! Great lectures and very caring prof. But you have to study. A&P is NO JOKE!!!!
Dr. E is the man! Best at DCCC!
He is a very fine person but don't expect him to give you a passing grade if you are failing the class. You got to do the work.
One of the best! Study, if you fail don't blaim him. Your fault. Take him again . AAA+++
He always tries his best to make sure his students do well in the class. Extra credits are extra questions on the test (need 50/50 to get a 100% but he gives 54 questions on the test). He also gives out links to test banks (not his) and encourage you to go to tutoring if you're struggling. 11/10 would take again.
Greek accent may get in the way at times during lecture. He wants you to succeed and pass the course, and will be honest with you if you should continue on or to drop the class depending on how you're doing.
Yipee! I passed!!!!
Unfortunately I failed! I don't blame him though. He provided plenty of opportunities and extra-credit. I tried but this was tough. The toughest class I've ever taken. I should have listened to him when he advised me to withdraw. My bad. I recommend him though, he's really caring, a wonderful person.
Dr. E knows his stuff, but he's almost too smart to teach it. Some of his expectations are unrealistic, like moving a unit exam up with only a week's notice, but he does try to take his students' opinions into consideration to better determine how he can help us navigate this course. His exams are HARD, so expect to read.
He's a little unorganized. I thought some of his notes were a little vague and didn't necessarily match the learning objectives DCCC provides. His exams are intense so use every resource you can find online and in the text bc he doesn't offer any type of review. He does seem to play favorites as well. I did well but I wouldn't take him again.
The BEST, no other comments.
X-tra Fine!
Dr E was hands down the absolute best professor Ive ever had. He is extremely passionate about what he does and genuinely wants to see his students succeed. Love this man and highly recommend him!!
Dr. E is a very nice person, he knows his stuff but you need to have a good understanding of the material before you get to his class. Dr E does not have the time to teach the information, for the sake of time he has to keep the class moving. Dr. E was honest with the class about where their grade should be at a certain point. I chose to drop.
Dr. E is a great professor, he cares about his students & their success & is available for support when needed. Don't skip class as he will let you know what to pay attention to & possibly what won't be included on the exam. I got an A but put in hours and hours of studying. It's a hard class but Dr. E does what he can to help you succeed.
I was BLESSED to say the least to have Dr. E as my a&p 2 professor. This man is an absolute genius and will do anything for his students to help them understand the material and for them to succeed. Great, stand up guy
Dr. E. is one of the best profs at DCCC. Very well organized, passionate with his teaching and very caring with his students! He is a true mentor. Very supportive, he really wants you to succeed. The subject is tough, you need to study hard, but I am glad and lucky to have him. His classes are usually full! I highly recommend him!
X-fine! Will take again!
Take him! That's all I have to say. Once you get here you'll know why. 5 star professor. Hands down an A&P expert! Very caring person. Study hard though!
I had him for a&p 1 and also took him for ap2. He is one of the best people on planet earth! A true gem!
dr. e. is hands down the best instructor i ever had! Gives great feedback, but you really need to study hard to pass this class!
dr.E. will go the extra mile to make sure his students understand the material. He is very kind person. Available outside class and always responding to emails. He is one of the best professors at DCCC! A&P is very tough subject and you need to study hard, attend classes and not miss labs. The material is overwhelming! Study hard and you will pass.
Dr. Argyris is a fine professor. He is very knowledgeable and kind to help every student succeed! Study hard and you will be ok. If you fail-take him again and try your best!
I had dr.e. for both AP1 and 2. Strongly recommend him! He really cares about his students and will do anything possible to help them! I did very well in his classes cause I had science background, but AP is no joke. It's a very hard class and if you don't study hard you are not going to make it. He is the best though! He also wrote me a letter.
dr e is the kindest person ever! but I don't do well in class and need to withdraw. This is a tough class for me, never had science courses before. He is very caring and always ready to help. he wants his students to succeed, but the class is not easy. i will try to retake it later with him! he is the prof!
He is the best guy around, but I am withdrawing, I cannot handle the material. I fear that if I cannot pass it with him I may not be able to pass it with any other instructor. He is very caring and tries hard to help his students, but the material is heavy.
Very nice guy but I couldn't handle the way he taught. The slides were a bit excessive, he makes you study EVERYTHING and then half the stuff isn't on the exam. Bad experience but hopefully not for you!
Very nice guy indeed! I do fine in class, his slides are clear, complete and very useful. Lots of movies and other online material that helps a lot as well. I study hard and so far I did very well on all exams and quizzes. Great experience, hopefully for you too. Not everyone is ready for A&P though.
Dr E is the best at DCCC!!!!
He is very caring and honest! I do well because I study hard! His lectures are amazing, his slides very helpful, he is always available to talk to. His exams are very fair. AP is not a joke, most people at dccc with fail it, because they don't have any science background. I recommend him, and I will definitely take him for AP2.
dr.e is the BEST! Highly recommended!
This is the second time I am taking a&p I with with. It's a tough class, but he is the best option at this college. He is really very caring and honest, he wants his students to succeed but you have to do the work. Don't expect to pool ass this class if you dont do well on the exams. Good thing is that he will let you know when to withdraw.
dr.e is one of the best instructors at DCCC. I am taking AP 3rd time, hope I do well! Study hard!
He's great! He keeps the class interesting and he loves his job. The class is tough, definitely not an easy A. Many-too may fail. There are 4 Exams, many quizzes, Lab practicals, papers and the final. Read the textbook, watch the movies, use the online APR and McGraw Hill Connect. STUDY, STUDY, STUDY!
I had him for both AP 1 and 2 and did very well because I studied very hard! He is very passionate and caring and will help you make arrangements if you miss a test, to take it at the testing center. You need to study very hard to pass this class though!
I had him for A&P II, a few years back. He is an amazing instructor and mentor. I did very well in his class, I studied a lot. He was always very supportive, he wrote me a ton of recommendation letters, now I am at Jefferson. I owe him big time. Highly recommend him.
Best guy at DCCC! How can you not love him?!
He is one of the best profs at this college. He really knows his stuff-no doubt. A&P is very demanding and you really need to study very hard! Study hard and all will be fine. You are in good hands!
He's great. He keeps the class interesting and he loves his job. He cares about his students. The class is tough, definitely not easy. There are 4 Exams, 2 Lab practicals, 4-5 quizzes, a paper and a departmental cumulative final. There is no extra credit. Read the textbook. Watch the movies, study his slides, pay attention! STUDY, STUDY, STUDY!
Fave professer at DCCC!
Dr. Elias is a very knowledgeable, caring professor who wants his students to succeed. His A&P class is interesting, definitely not easy, but if you put in the effort you will do well. There are several exams, quizzes, lab practicals, study hard!
An amazing, funny, truly caring teacher who is super knowledgeable and passionate about what he teaches. I have to say it's extremely tedious work all the time though because anatomy physiology is not a joke! Therefore earning good grades can be difficult even for those good at science. Work hard and pay attention to his slides and lectures!
He is one of the most knowledgeable and kind people at DCCC! Will take him again!
A great professor. Lectures very well, work load is manageable, projects are appropriately difficult with smaller assignments between them, slides are always online, accessible, willing to work with students. I don't know a single student who wouldn't take dr.E. a second time.
One of the very best and kindest profs I ever met! Got to study very hard though!
Dr. E. is one of the best instructors at this college. He is extremely caring person, a fantastic scientist and a beautiful human being!!! I am glad and happy to be taking him for bio151. The material is very tough and you need to study hard, but you are in very good hands with him!
One of the very best! STUDY-STUDY-STUDY!
He is one of the best! I am very happy I took him for BIO150!
Tough class but A GREAT PROF!!!!!
Dr E is the sweetest prof around! He is always willing to accommodate his students, he is very flexible and will work with you to help you succeed. AP is a very tough class and you need to study hard though.
He must be one of the best instructors at dccc. Very caring and truly honest individual! love him!
Great prof but STUDY-STUDY-STUDY!
He is kind, honest & will tell you if you should withdraw or not. I found his explanations to be poor, so I self-studied alot. Crash Course is really helpful. He doesn't give a study guide so USE THE COURSE OBJECTIVES as your study guide. No extra credit & no curves & no HW. 11 out of 24 in my class passed (including me). STUDY and you'll pass to.
One of the very best, caring, fair and knowledgeable profs at delco! Lots of credit too!
First class PROF! Great lectures and very helpful slides. Always answers questions in detail and explains very well. Gives full credit for all labs done. He will tell you what you need to know well for exams and provides a ton of X-credit. Tests are quizzes, exams, lab practicals. He is very friendly, fair to all and never plays favorites.
Passed the class and strongly recommend dr.e. His lectures are great, but you still need to study hard. The tests are very fair, he specifically will tell you what to study, and keeps his promises. His semester grades are just and fair based on your performance. I recommend him!
dr. e is the best! Highly recommend him!
Great professor! I took A&P 1 and 2 with him. You will enjoy his lectures. Attend classes and be on time. Study the materials and make a note of the things he emphasizes, usually they are on the exams. Best of Luck!
BEST ANATOMY PROFESSOR, no questions asked! Dr. E wants to see all his students succeed. he offers extra credit & make up tests because he understands student needs. he gives great input on things that will be on the tests. would HIGHLY recommend him. his classes usually have a wait list so register early!
Dr. E. is hands down the best professor at DCCC. While the material is difficult at times, he will always tell you what to remember in lectures, so pay attention. Assigns four quizzes, four exams, two practicals. Also gives extra credit on quizzes and exams. Study and you will do fine! He is my favorite prof!
Dr E. in my opinion is a very honest PROFESSOR, but you will not pass his class if you don't try and do well. He lectures off of the powerpoints, so make sure to attend most classes so you don't miss any details. If you study, you will do FINE.
I LOVED Prof. Argyris! He was an awesome teacher. Very nice, helpful, stated exactly what he wanted and expected. He will help you with whatever you need help with! I had him for both A&P classes. I got a good grade. Very lenient on students who work hard, come to class on time, and actually put effort into doing the work. He was AWESOME!
I passed his class. As a student who studied 10+ hours weekly I was happy with my lecture and test performance. Got a B.
Mr. E. is by far the best teacher I have ever had. He is willing to go out of his way to help any student succeed. More teachers nowadays should model after him. I worked hard, and passed. I am very happy! HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM!!!
Thank you dr. e.! AAAA++++++
I made a C in the class which I am happy with. It's a tough class and I do recommend dr.e. for the class. I attended some lectures and used multiple sources in order to understand the info. His slides do match up with information in the textbook but I did not use the textbook a lot. Mostly his slides.
I made a C, I am very happy with him. I could do better, but did not put lots of effort this time. Recommend him though. great instructor. very caring and accommodating!
Did very well and highly recommend him! Would take him again for micro!
A and P is tough, but i studied a lot and passed. he is very good instructor and will take him again for ap2.
He is one of the best if not THE best teacher I've had. The material is mostly memorization and kind of dry, so you have to study a LOT. The best part about the course is that he tests only on the material that he gives you in his lecture slides. Attend lecture, it really helps.
By all means, a fantastic professor! Made relatively dry material interesting and easy to follow. Quizzes cover reading and lecture material, but Exams are much more comprehensive and test your overall understanding. Organized the course remarkably well to maximize your understanding of anatomy.
Best A&P teacher to have. Realizes the class is tough and helps a lot. Extremely helpful and nice, makes class interesting. Always there to explain things during and after class. Very fair grader. I would recommend her to everyone!
Dr. E. is the best! I passed this class because I studied hard! His lectures are amazing and students love him. I attended every class and it is true that he reads right off his slides which are VERY HELPFUL. He is very special and he does motivate his students. Highly recommend him!
dr.e is very sweet and funny. He wants you to understand the material so he puts lots of effort to educate his students. He is always available to meet outside of class, and provides very useful feedback. Overall, he is an amazing instructor and I hope to have him next year!!!!
dr.e. is probably the best choice for A&P. The course itself requires a lot of work/ attention, but dr.e. makes it enjoyable and less painful overall. Would definitely recommend!
Best a&p instructor on this planet. I had heard some pretty bad things about this course but with him, I haven't had any issues or struggled at all! He is so caring and answers all your questions and is overall just a genuinely great guy! 100% recommend. Lots of credit too!
First Class Prof! Strongly recommend him! Fair, caring with lots of extra opportunities and accommodations!
DR. E. is a wonderful person and instructor. He was always there for me whether I was struggling with content! He was caring while also being professional. He looks out for his students and genuinely wants everyone to succeed and is willing to help get you to that point. Highly recommend him!
Personally, the best teacher I've ever had for both ap 1 and 2. Everyone likes him. Take him!
Dr. E. is a great guy. He will tell you what's what and put you in your place if you are slackin. He is brutally honest, but he loves what he does and has a great passion for it. I would take his class again in a heartbeat!
Great anatomy instructor! Definitely interested in teaching his students. Makes information very clear. Always on time and helpful. One of the best instructors I have had at dccc! I would highly recommend taking him.
Awesome instructor. Enthusiastic about the material he teaches and is very helpful.
Super nice guy who is ALWAYS very helpful. Take him if you can!
He is my all-time favorite professor. He teaches anatomy physiology, and microbiology. If you get a chance to take any of his classes DO IT! HE rocks. He has a cool accent too. :)
My opinion: He is a great scientist and educator. We had many discussions with him about science and life. he is a genius! Very patient, caring and always accommodating his students. But make no mistake: you need to attend classes, take notes, study hard in order to pass. The failure rate is very high for this course. A&P I is even tougher.
Straight A+ PROF! I will take his MICRO class in the future!
The best instructor in dccc. I would not compare him with anyone else. He is an amazing professor. Take him if you want to learn about the human body! Lots of quizzes, exams, lab practicals-study hard!
Professor Elias is the best professor you can ask for. He teaches a hard course in a way students can understand. He uses lots of slides which is great because it actually allows you to learn. there are several quizzes, exams and 2 lab practicals. you study-you pass.
Tough class, if you don't study you fail. But he is so caring and helpful to all students! he is very patient and explains well, his slides really help. His exams are not easy but if you know the material you will do well. Attend class, take notes, study hard, use tutoring as well-and you'll be fine! Take him!
I failed his class but I am taking him again in Fall. He is the best! Hopefully I'll pass next time!
he is ok, but quite honestly i would care less about him, other instructors or ap. all i care is pass the teas, get in the nursing program and make me some money. nough said.
Passed with an A! I attended lectures, took notes, actually he will tell you what to expect on the exams, did over 90% on 3 exams and over 80% on one. The material at the community college level is NOT that hard. A&P is much harder at WCU. Nailed the final which was recycled questions from all previous 4 exams. I am going to nursing school soon! :)
I love the way Professor Argyris conducted class. I have taken A&P at another university and didn't like how everything was rushed but Dr. Argyris went through the material and explained what we needed to know. His pace was perfect and he was always willing to help. He is one of the best professors I have ever had!
dr.e made this class fun and interesting, he related the class to real life examples. One of the best teachers I've ever had! take him!
I was one of his favorites! Dr. E. made ALL the difference. I would recommend Dr. E to anyone interested in this course. He is very helpful and understanding.
I thought I was HIS FAVORITE!!! :) :) :) Dr. E. was really kind and offered bonus points on the test and quizzes. The videos and movies he provided were insightful as well. I appreciated how each chapter was divided into different systems. TAKE HIM, HE IS THE BEST!
He's one of the best professors I've ever had. He has a great interaction with students and great respect for them and their grades. His office hours are very useful, and he genuinely wants to help you succeed. I did very well, WILL TAKE HIM AGAIN!
He is MY FAVORITE PROF! One of the best professors I have taken for Bio. His organized lectures slides and explaining the material made the class so much easier to follow through. He puts a lot of effort in his lecture slides so hint hint, it's the best study tool for his exams.
DEFINITELY TAKE!!! THE BEST!!!!
He is one of the best PROFs at DCCC. First class choice, strongly recommend!
TAKE HIM AND STUDY!
Out of all of my BIO professors, Dr. E. is the BEST. One of the most caring professors. On top of that, he dedicates his time in making the powerpoint slides to help his students. His way of lecturing made me look forward to going to class and learning something new! If you have the opportunity to take Dr. E., do it!
To me EASY class, and he makes it even easier!
Rich Instructor, highly recommended!
Had him for BIO150, took him for bio151 too! Did VERY WELL!!! He is the best!! take him!
So easy class! If you study and participate - a clear A!!!
I strongly recommend him! He is the BEST! You study you pass!
I have taken dr E.'s BIO151. He is one of the BEST professors at DCCC. He would spend time making his slides just for his students to understand. His Lecture exams are very easy compared to lab practicals. He is a wonderful professor!
No one comes close to dr E. at DCCC. He cares so much, his class couldn't be more straight forward, his lectures are very detailed so that everyone understands. You can access him outside of class and if you are failing he will let you know to Withdraw on time. I will take him for microbiology too!
One of the best at DCCC! Take him!
E stands for EXCELLENCE! Take him and STUDY!
VERY NICE GUY!! ONE OF THE BEST INSTRUCTORS AT DCCC. IF YOU STUDY YOU WILL DO WELL! RECOMMEND HIM!
His classes are always full, you'll be lucky to find a spot. Register early!!!! Highly recommended!
AAAAAAA++++++++ :) :) :)
He gives great feedback, he will tell you what to study, easy exams! Best instructor in bio!
EASY A++++++
I studied hard and did very well! he is very caring and straight forward guy! He will tell you what to study and if you attend class, take notes and pay attention you will do fine! I recommend him! take him! He also teaches microbiology!
Strongly recommend him! Take him if you find an opening in his classes. Usually they are full. Took him for BIo150 and BIO151. Did very well! he really cares about his students!
Simply the BEST!!!!!! A+
I owe him big time for mentoring me! At dccc we are blessed to have him as faculty! he is an international caliber scientist! check him at linked in!
He is a blast! I took him for summer 1 accelerated 5 week A&P 1 course, but had to withdraw. Too much-too fast. But dr.e is the BEST! What a guy! Hopefully I will take him again in the near future but for a regular semester. Strongly recommend him!
Great prof but tough class, especially for accelerated summer! Better take it in Fall or Spring.
Dr. E is simply the best. His lectures have lots of slides but don't be intimidated by that, he lets you know what is important for the test. He is super flexible with papers and lab reports. Don't miss the lab and don't be late. If you study and go to class there is no reason why you could not pass the class! TAKE HIM!!!
I had him for BIO150 and 151 and took him again for Microbiology. He is one of the best! Great instructor, very caring, really enjoyed his class! Strongly recommended!
The BEST PROF!
dr. E is one of the best teachers I've had at DCCC. I never met a prof so dedicated to his students & their futures! take him!
He is seriously one of the best professors at DCCC!!! He wants his students to do great in his class and is willing to help anyone struggling. Go to his office hours because he is there to help you. Don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it! Strongly recommend him!
take him for bio150, bio151 or bio230. if you fail-take him again. if you fail again-move out of the field. you are not for it. good luck!
He is one of the kindest profs at DCCC!
Did well with him. He is a nice guy!
Dr. Elias is a FANTASTIC instructor! Had him for BIO150 and 151. Very well organized, caring, and true gentleman! Consider him for micro as well.
Hard material, many exams and quizzes and 2 lab practicals but he is the best choice!
Dr. Argyris is an excellent instructor, always well prepared, lots of slides! who really cares about his students. The class is tough but if you have the right background and you study you should be good. If not, sorry...
Dr. E. is a wonderful, committed professor. You should anticipate spending time outside of class learning material yourself as well, but he makes sure that throughout your studies you are clear on what is expected and feel supported. He is fair, approachable, and only wants the best for his students. I highly recommend him!
He must be one of the best instructors at delaware county community college. Best option for A&P and micro at downingtown. he is very caring about his students and very helpful. If you are not doing well he will tell you when to withdraw.
dr.e is an amazing instructor! He is extremely fair and approachable, very flexible and only wants the best for his students. Study hard outside class, this is science, don't expect to learn everything in class! I highly recommend him!
DR E IS TRULLY ONE OF A KIND. GENUINE INDIVIDUAL, VERY CARING, HONEST AND DIRECT. HE WILL GIVE TIPS ON WHAT TO STUDY FOR THE EXAMS AND HE IS REALLY VERY FLEXIBLE. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND HIM.
He is really caring, down to earth, very warm person. Very personable and patient! He explains and breaks down the material very well.
Please read this real and honest review. I would never recommend taking Microbiology with Dr. Argyris. Here is why, - Does not make his own powerpoint; reads from Pearsons slides - Gets all test questions from quizlet, so studying from the book is pointless - Not willing to help students succeed. I'm not sure why he has so many good reviews...
I definitely recommend Dr. E. He is by far one of the best educators I ever encountered.
Highly recommend.
One of the most amazing professors I have ever met! Professor Elias teaches the course so wonderfully, that it is easy to understand the material. Make sure to always review your notes and look at the slides he gives you and you will pass easily. if you want an A use the textbook!
Very tough class and I have to drop it. I am taking the summer online session. Way too tough! You got to have a strong science background and the timing is not right. But dre is good! He really communicates well and tries his best to help you. Lots of material to study. A lot! not his fault though. I will take him again during the regular semester.
Good man?MB. Good teacher?heck N. Did not follow the Dept study objective. AP is very broad. You can't study AP without an outlined study guide. Try learning all languages instead of their linguistic structures. 95% is currently grosslyfailing his exams. Median is exactly 50% on each test. I personally asked him about this. He is totaly ok with it.
Terrible. Not an advocate of students and cares more about himself than students success and learning/
It is not possible to retain the info needed to pass tests in such a small amount of time. online/accelerated class. Every week there is 4 chapters of reading with around 150 questions assigned per chapter (around 600 questions/week required) AND one test AND at least one lab (sometimes more). Studied literally 8 hrs a day and still failing.
THIS WAS THE HARDSEST CLASS! i wish i couldve experienced the professor so many of you experienced. unfortunately i dont think the school nor did dr.e prepare properly, due to coronavirus we were al shoved into this. to me i feel like an inclass couldve had a different outcome but there was way way way to much work for what this class is "worth"
Do yourself a favor and DONT take this class accelerated. Tests every 10 days on 4 chapters plus labs/homework. This class is no joke - be prepared to give up any type of life til its over! Dr. E works with students, his online lectures were good but I think in class would have been better. I would definitely take him again for future classes!
Took DR.E for A&P 1 in Spring 2020, which switched online halfway through due to Covid. l think some of the below comments are ridiculous. If you think you can take A&P and not expect work, then that's just dumb. Yes, it was an extremely hard class. But what do you expect? I am 100% taking him again for A&P II online.
Poor professor with terrible online presence. Not available or willing to help students. DO NOT RECOMMEND
Great professor with fantastic online presence. Always available and willing to help students! STRONGLY RECOMMEND!
I had him for AP1, I am taking him for AP2, and i am studying as hard as I can! He is REALLY something else: very personable, most of the times smooth and forgiving, some times rough and strict. Altogether, to me, the best choice at DCCC for AP. He is very honest and outspoken! Make no mistake: He will meet you half the way. The other half is yours
No doubt that Dr. E is a nice guy but his class is TOUGH!!!! It felt like I was in nursing school already. Chapters are heavy with NO STUDY GUIDE!! Studied like crazy and still had to drop the course a month before the semester ended. Homework assignments between tests are 500+ questions along with labs. Your life will be dedicated to this class!!!
Nice guy but TOUGH class. I am withdrawing but will try again later with him. The material is a lot and heavy, use the departmental learning objectives he provides and his slides. 4 big exams, final exam, 2 lab practicals, and home assignments. STUDY!
There was SO much information being released within 2 weeks before the tests (4 chapter tests). The lectures were terrible, and we had assignments that took anywhere from 3-6 hours for EACH chapter. In his lectures it was like he was reading straight from the book and not actually explaining anything. He is a very nice guy, but not a good teacher
EXTRA-NICE! BUT EXTRA-HEAVY MATERIAL! STUDY HARD!
Dr. E is the best professor I have ever had! Dr. E does everything for you to help you succeed. It's your choice if you want to follow his lead and pass. I took the 5 week accelerated course, which was extremely difficult. If you cant keep up with homework, DO NOT TAKE. I have a huge amount of respect for Dr. E, and when you meet him, you will too!
Great professor with excellent online presence. Always available and willing to help students. STRONGLY RECOMMEND!!!
Extra fine, take him!
This material is heavy, but I enjoyed it so much more thanks to dre. He was great! You need to pay attention during his video lecture and listen to what he says because you will know what you will be tested on. Take him!
I truly enjoy his asynchronous course I am taking with him. Very organized and clear on where you should be with your independent review and whats due next. Power points are heavy, so heavy that I opened my book ONE time! Watch the lectures and you will know what to focus on when studying! I would take him again!
Professor gives a clear schedule week by week of when everything will be due. Lectures are a little much but it is A&P so there is a lot of info to cover. Super laid back about labs. does offer home assignments.
I really enjoyed his class. 4 exams + final, 2 lab practicals, lots of home assignments to boost your grade, many labs, but all in all he is great! Recommend!
Loved Professor A. Lectures are heavy but pay attention! Study the study guide follow his lead and you will pass exams!
This material is pretty heavy, but I enjoyed it so much more thanks to him. He was great! You need to pay attn during video lecture and listen to what he says. several exams, 2 lab practicals and lots lots of simulated labs!
Dr e is the best professor I ever had! The class is very hard but he is really caring about his students! I am withdrawing this semester but I am retaking the class with him next semester. I highly recommend him!
I put so much effort in this class, but I did not pass. This is my third time. He is very kind and responds immediately, but the material is hard, with several exams, lab practicals, and lots of homework. At this point, I don't know if I would try again. But if I did, I would retake it with him.
I truly enjoyed his course! He is very organized and clear on where you should be with your independent review and what's due next. Power points are heavy but very useful. Watch the lectures and you will know what to focus on when studying! I would definitely take him again!
Extremely tough class (for me), but a great professor and a human being! Thank you dr.e.
He is a real gem! Very knowledgeable, kind, and understanding! Take him!
Tough class but I don't do well. He is very nice though and caring. I will withdraw and retake it with him later.
unfortunately i failed, but it's not his fault. tough class, the material is a lot and hard, but he is very helpful. he also let us know when to withdraw-wish i listened. there is a withdrawal date he mentioned, but i thought i had chances. take him though, he is very understanding and helpful. i will try again with him next semester.
He's the worse professor. He doesn't teach from a place of humanity and care for anybody. We routinely encourage students to drop the course without providing any additional feedback/help for those of us who are struggling and trying to improve. He just cares about looking good on paper for the administration.
dre is one of the best professors! He teaches from a place of humanity and cares for all his students! He protects failing students by suggesting withdrawal so our gpa is not affected. He provides lots of additional feedback, help, and suggestions for those of us who are struggling and trying to improve. He cares exclusively about his students.
VERY CARING, FAIR AND SUPPORTIVE! HANDS DOWN THE BEST PROF AT DCCC!
he must be one of the kindest and most caring instructors at DCCC! Great communicator, explains very well the material, but you have to study and do well to pass A&P. Many students fail, a few pass, but it's not his fault. Take him, he is very helpful.
Cool dude!
Dr. E is great. Grading is very fair. A&P is hard, and you have to study. Beyond lab and lecture, he has plenty of resources available that are accessible at home to aid in studying. Attendance to lecture is not mandatory but I would advise showing up to get the most out of the course. He answers every question and will explain further if need be.
Professor E is the best professor at DCCC. I would definitely take any course he teaches. He grades work on time and there is never a delay in response. He cares about his students and their career path. He also offers to help students in their studies if needed. More professors at DCCC should be more like him. You will not be disappointed.
Dr. E is the BEST! Period! Thank you Dr. E!!!!!
He is very sweet, caring, and a great professor. He posts all PowerPoint files, and other materials on canvas, but you do need to buy the textbook. Lots of studying! The 6 tests are mostly multiple-choice, he gives clear feedback and has clear requirements. He is very understanding. Do the work and you will be fine. Highly RECOMMEND!
Attend lecture or watch his lecture videos. Everything you need to know on the test are in his PowerPoint slides and he tells you what is on there. Be ready to be on top on your game and study the three weeks in-between each test. You will need all the time to study for the 6 tests and 2 lab practicals. Much Luck!!!!
Took with his A&P and micro. He is one of the best professors in the department. His lectures are clear and backs up theory fundamentals with specific examples. Exam questions are pulled from lecture notes and textbook. Very fair. He gives partial credit. Extremely nice guy. If you want help, he's there for you. Take dr.e. if you have the option.
DRE is AMAZING. He's always available and wants his students to do good in his class. His lectures and labs are amazing and not boring at all. He's very well organized. He does give home assignments which helps. He's SUPER SWEET. Best bio professor.
There are no words to describe Dr.E. He is kind, honest, professional, and above all, he CARES about his students. You can trust this guy! A&P is a serious and very challenging course. You will have to put into it 100s of hours of serious studying, day and night to even pass with a C. A&P IS NO JOKE. ONE OF THE TOUGHEST CLASSES EVER, but take him.
dr. E. is one of the best profs at dccc! He is very well organized, he really cares for his students, he wants them to succeed and he is always very helpful to explain and accommodate! Tough class, but great prof! Take him.
He is a very kind human being! dr.E is always helpful and supportive. There are 6 exams and 2 lab exams, the material is hard and you need to study day and night. But if you take him you know he is going to be there for you.
DRE IS ONE OF THE BEST PROFS AT DCCC! HE IS ONE OF THE KINDEST PEOPLE!
dre is very personable, honest and clear. He tells you everything you need to focus on and study. Lots of work. 6 exams, 2 lab practicals, 11 lab-reports, home online heavily loaded McGraw Hill assignments, participation matters! I strongly recommend him. To me, he is a fine instructor and person!
DrE is very supportive, respectful and well organized Professor. He is reasonably flexible and will provide alternatives for your exam dates. But make no mistake, don't miss exams and stay focused. A&P 2 is more complex than ap1. Very challenging.take him.
What a great PROFESSOR dre is!!! There are not enough words to describe it. Take him.
THIS WAS THE HARDEST CLASS! I don't think l was prepared properly, due to my work, other classes, family, and so many other things, including the hybrid class! I failed yet I don't blame him. I wish I could take it again with him and put in more effort. My advice take the class in person with him.
dre is one of the best! FANTASTIC HUMAN BEING! i failed an will take aandp again with him! LOVE HIM!!~
He wants you to succeed, PERIOD. Super cool, and very passionate about science and teaching. He really takes the time to explain concepts. He breaks it down, you don't come to class you miss, and won't know the material on tests. PAY ATTENTION.
Great Professor, many exams, gives homework but some of the questions are on the test. Do the homework questions and study the slides you will do great. A&P IS NO JOKE.
dr e is a great human being and an amazing professor. he really cares about his students and wants them to succeed but summer aandp classes are extremely tough! I have to withdraw cause i am failing but will take it again with him in the fall. take him.
I came very-very close but didn't make it. Need a C or better for AP2. Summer classes are very hard, no time to really take it in! DRE is very kind and a great instructor. He is very well organized, all lectures and videos are posted online, but you need more time for AP. I recommend him but better take him in fall or spring semester.
best guy ever!
I barely made it, but I did! Summer classes are brutal! He is great, very understanding and accommodating. But you got to study very hard, day and night. I made it! Looking forward to A&PII with dre.
I truly enjoyed his class. He is very well organized and clear on where you should be with your studies and what's due next. Powerpoints were heavy, and so were his movies of his powerpoints. Watch his lectures and you will know what to focus on when studying! I would take him again for 151
DRE provides power-points for all the lectures, and video lectures where he explains his slides in depth. If you don't come to class you miss lots of information firsthand. There are 5 exams, 2 lab practicals, home assignments and other smaller tests. Good luck.
Lecture heavy, but he is a great professor. Provides online homework and gives a clear schedule for all due dates and exams. He provides study guide/learning objectives for the exams. Participation is not graded but you better show up and take notes if you want to pass. 6 exams, 2 lab practicals, homework, and labs will keep you very busy. study.
This material is heavy, but I enjoyed it so much more thanks to him. He was great! You need to pay attn during lecture and listen to what he says because you will know what you will be tested on. I appreciated that he let us use the testing ctr for tests so we could go take the test in a window that was best for us.
A little lecture heavy, but he is a great professor. Plenty of homework and gives a clear schedule for all due dates. He provides departmental study guide to help with the exams. Participation is not graded but you still need to show up and take notes to get a good grade. There are 6 exams, 2 lab practicals, 11 labs and online home assignments.
BEST ANATOMY & MICRO PROFESSOR EVER!! I would take him for all my classes if I could. Very fair, caring, and understanding to his students. He wants you to succeed. The material itself is difficult but dr.e. made it enjoyable to understand. He's pretty funny too. Take him if you can.
I highly recommend Dr. E. He really goes above and beyond for students. I could tell he really cares about us actually learning the material.
Very knowledgeable professor and excellent at teaching in a way that you learn the material, not just memorize. Breaks the material down and makes sure you understand it and you can move forward. He is always available before or after class, to Zoom, or during office hours to help you if you need. He is a wonderful professor and human being!
dr.e. is GREAT! All his lecture ppt movies are posted on Canvas for you to watch. They are very helpful. If you need help he will do whatever it takes to help and answer your questions. He is very approachable. He wants his students to pass the class and succeed. He really cares about his students. The course is NOT EASY. You got to study hard!
We could definitely use more instructors like him at DCCC! He truly stands out as the best. He displays a genuine concern for his students and their success. He offers ample opportunities for extra credit, but it is important to put in the effort to study as well. He won't let you down as long as you don't let yourself down.
Tough class. regretfully I have to take it again. will retake it with dre. hopefully next time i will do better!
Unfortunately, I have to retake it in the Spring 2024. But! He is one of the best professors for A&P. He gives full credit for labs, so make sure you attend those! His tests are very tricky so take your time, and read the questions. Watch his lectures - he'll let you know if you need to know/pay attention to certain things.
Dr. E was excellent! BIO150 is a challenging class. You must study every day; you can postpone things because you will fall behind and the material is a lot! If you study, you will pass! I am taking him for BIO 151 as well! Don't give extra credit because we will have human lives in our hands. Very nice professor and very caring!
Kudos to dr.E. for being one of the best instructors for A&P! Thank you DRE!
I strongly recommend dr.E. He is very well organized, all lectures and materials are posted on canvas, he gives credit for the labs, don't miss a lab! 6 exams and 2 lab exams. Study well his lectures and you will do fine! Very nice professor.
Professor Argyris is caring. He does not give extra credit but he will offer a second chance to get it right. His lecture videos are good for reviewing, he taught too fast for me, but if you read the material before class and study you will pass his class.
Dr. E. is one of the best. Very organized, helpful and supportive. He always responds to emails very quickly. A&P is very demanding class, you better study very hard if you want to pass.
DRE IS ONE OF THE BEST HUMAN BEINGS. HE IS VERY PERSONABLE, EXTREMELY SUPPORTIVE AND TRULY CARES ABOUT HIS STUDENTS. YOU WON'T FIND ANOTHER LIKE HIM. HE HAS SUPPORTED ME THROUGH THE YEARS WITH MANY RECOMMENDATION LETTERS ANF GUIDANCE. THANK YOU DRE!
Dr. Argyris is one of the best A&P professors. Challenging but fair, he offers extra credit and second chances. Attending lectures and labs is a must. Unstuckstudy AI was a great study aid alongside the textbook.
He is tough, but very caring, honest, fair, and supportive! AP is no joke, so brace up for long study hours. The big items are 6 exams and 2 lab practicals. He gives extra credit for labs, but don't expect more. Don't miss exams or labs, you will miss points. If you want to make it to nursing you have to excel, C won't cut it, no doubt.
Dr. E is a very nice professor, however, his lectures are long and are not very closely related to his exams. His exams are hard and so are his lab practicals. The homework he gives takes about three to four hours to complete. If you plan on taking him you have to be prepared to non-stop study throughout the entire course.
He is great. He is very well organized, he provides online video lectures, his exams match his slides. As long as you study you will do fine. The online assignments take long to complete but they help you study. This is AP! If you want to be a nurse, there is no other way. You have to study hard.
This course is incredibly tough. Most fail. Don't try to take this course and work a job at the same time. This course will be your whole world all semester if you hope to pass.There is no extra credit. Be prepared to work hard up until the very end.
This class is really hard. I studied a lot, but the professor is really nice and reassuring. He always answered my questions when I emailed him. I enjoyed the labs and thought they were interesting. It's just really a hard class. It will take up most of your time until it's over.
I want to become a nurse and there is no cutting corners to achieving that! a and p is no joke, you got to study a lot. attend lectures and labs, take notes, and ask questions. he is there for you! thank you dr.e!
This material is extra heavy, and BIO151 is more complex, but I enjoyed it so much more thanks to him. You need to pay attention during lectures and listen to what he says, and watch his video lectures, too, because you will know what you will be tested on. 6 exams, 2 lab practicals and lots of home assignments!
BIO151 is one of the toughest classes ever! Yet, he makes it fun, if you pass, of course! lots of exams, lab reports, online assignments, and lab practicals. Lots of them! dr.e. is one of the best! Take him!
Very tough class and I am not doing well but its not his fault. Planning to retake it next semester again with him. He is a very good person and professor. There are many exams and assignments and the material is not easy. he provides online lectures and videos.
sadly i didnt pass, got a d, my bad, but he is the best. if you need to take ap, take it with dre. period.
He is the worse professor i have ever had. He doesn't even make his own slides. He uses the slides that the textbook provides so it's like 150+ slides. You can barely understand him and he doesn't apply it to real life things. He also moves way too fast. You're better off with a different professor for A+P
We just started, and he seems to be a very nice person. He provides clear slides and video lectures. Lots of files on Canvas. He has a lovely Greek accent, which is not a problem at all. He brings up real clinical examples and other applications. The pace is fast. This is AP! Take him!
Dr.E. is the best professor at DCCC. I would definitely take any course he teaches. He grades work on time and there is never a delay in response. He really cares about his students. More professors at DCCC should be more like him. I strongly recommend him.
Hands down the best professor at DCCC, had him during the spring semester and he was awsome. Taking him now for bo151. Lots of reading but his powerpoints are well organized and very well done.6 exams, 2 lab practicals. pick him he is the best!!! Good Luck! :)
Great professor very passionate about biology! If you follow his lectures and homework you should do well! Very helpful, wants his students to pass. Take him!
Dr. E. is very energetic, fun, personable, and understanding. The material is a lot, 16 chapters and many many slides. He provides video lectures, too. There are online chapter assignments. This class is intense, and it's just the beginning. I cannot recommend him enough!
Dr. E goes above and beyond for his students. His tests are fair, multiple-choice, but he gives homework with tests, so students are prepared. As long as you communicate with him, he is very compassionate and won't let you fall behind. He is a great professor.
He is very committed and dedicated to his work. Very understanding and as long as you follow his instructions you will be fine. His tests are hard but managable. Lots of online assignments.
Dr. Elias is a great teacher. He is very clear about what he expects of you and what you should take away from each lecture. He is very helpful and cares greatly for his students. He is very accessible and wants ensure that his students are excelling. Lectures are long with many slides, but he also provides video lectures.
I strongly recommend taking a&p with Dr. Argyris. My advice is to use his PowerPoint and video slides - most of his test questions are multiple choice and photos from his slides- He truly helps students succeed. He always responds to emails quickly. if you succeed, he will support you later with a recommendation letter. Take him.
One of the best professors. He is always available to talk and responds quickly to emails. Really cares about you, but you really have to study hard and attend lectures and labs. AP is no joke!
The materials posted on Canvas are very helpful. The course is very well organized, dre is well-prepared and very approachable and always responds promptly. The online assignments require time to read, watch online lectures, and complete homework, but they are very useful for the exams. Take him!
DR.E is very approachable and fun to talk to! He's always eager to help students understand concepts from class and answer questions. AP is no joke. Very tough class with lots of materials to study from. You need to spend many hours a day studying and reviewing lectures and videos. Don't miss labs, attend lectures if you want to keep up.
dre is amazing. he's always available and wants his students to do good in his class. His lectures and labs are amazing and not boring at all. he's very organized. he does give some extra credit which helps. he's super sweet. Best bio professor. take him.
I will have to retake it but definitely with dr.E. He is the best. This class is tough. Many exams and online assignments. You got to spend several hours a day studying the material.
Dr. E is the greatest professor I have ever had. A&P is an incredibly tough class so having a professor who actually WANTS to help students learn and exceed is a true gift. He is genuinely one of the kindest most helpful people I've ever encountered. He is quick to help out in lab & incredibly responsive to emails.Truly can't recommend him enough.
Dr e. Is the best!. Lots of exams, but also lots of lab credit and online assignments credit.
I am definitely taking him again for ap2. I am passing ap1.
He really cares about his students succeeding in the class. He is very well organized, and all materials are posted on canvas, videos, lectures etc. He responds quickly to emails and remembers students' names and details. Very chill prof. The contents of A&P are heavy, but I enjoy and learn a lot from him.
I love this professor. He explains tough anatomy concepts and connects them to real life situations, making it easier to understand. He does his best to help each student pass. He is also very friendly& understanding on students situations. GO TO CLASS AND STUDY, as great as he is, A&P is a tough course, you will not pass if you do not study.
dr.E is the best prof I could have wished for. He gave a schedule the first day of class showing our chapters and when our tests are, and he never ran behind. he gives full credit for the labs. The grades are 6 exams, 2 lab practicals, 1 quiz, and home online assignments. He is very helpful and always replies quickly!
My favorite professor I have ever had. Very personable and upfront with his expectations. Syllabus is posted, coursework outline, video lectures, and he is easily accessible outside of class. This course is hard, but not impossible. Read, study, and go to class. He's also incredibly funny and loves to talk about Greek food.
Hands down the best professor at DCCC. Lots of reading but his powerpoints and videos are well organized and very well done. 15 questions for every chapter per exam, 6 exams and many online assignments. Take notes bc those questions are on future test. pick him he is the best!!! Good Luck! :)
AP I is a very challenging class, but Dr. E. is a great professor and breaks down the material so that it is easier to understand. He also provides videos of his lectures online. Exams are given every 2-3 weeks and require lots of studying. This class is very tough, but Dr. E. does everything to help his students.
I took dr. E. for Anatomy and Physiology 1&2. He was the best professor I've ever had! He's extremely compassionate about this subject and does his best to ensure his students are in a good place and are truly understanding the material. Definitely recommend this professor if you want to succeed!
He is a phenomenal educator and human being. He tells you what you need to know and prepares you for the exams. You will have to put in a lot of work, but overall, his slides and video lectures prepare you for the tests. You need to use the textbook, attend classes, and labs. Every point counts! Study!
HE IS AMAZING! Although the course is tough, he is truly one of the best professors. He is really engaging and is super passionate. He expects a lot from you but honestly if you work hard and on daily basis you can do it. Lecture attendance is not required but strongly recommended.
