Great teacher. I took him for the lecture as well as the lab, and I'm glad I did. Tries to help the class as much as he can, but there is A LOT to study. And you HAVE to study or you'll fail. Not too bad on the eyes either.

I'm taking Doc. V for A&P 2 lab... He is pretty ok at explaining the material, but when it comes to helping and understanding the material he comes off a bit arrogant and demeaning. Instead of liking to help and answer questions it almost seems like it's a bother to him. I like to learn and be taught. Therefore I will not be taking him again.

Taking him lab/lecture...he knows his stuff, but his tests are hard, no diagrams, no study guide/review. 1 test usually covers about 3 sections/210 power point slides, that although they are nice, they are a lot of info, & you have no clue what to concentrate on. If you retain A LOT of info easily, then you will like him. He's new to teaching...

I took him for lecture and lab for anatomy and physiology II (1086). It is a challenging course (what do you expect, its anatomy & physiology) but he does an excellent job of explaining the material. I also have him for lab and he is very helpful, explains exactly what you need to do. Overall a very good teacher that I would highly recommend.

His tests are challenging, but he does provide study guides and if you study you will do fine. He is very helpful and understanding. He is also quite funny. Take him and you won't be disappointed.

in his lab you gotta work for your grade. there quizzes every week like any other lab class. He doesnt post grades, so u really dont know where u stand and get agitated when u ask. secondly he make you do busy work in the book tells u to rips it out the book and turn in for extra credit. so basically u cant sell it back after 1086 :[

I had him for lecture and lab. Lab was easy, he let you know exactly what to study for his practicals. 10 question quiz at the beginning of each lab. Lecture class was a lot harder He made us print his slides to study but when it came to quizzes and exams I feel like half of them were not on the slides. He did curb my 79% for a 80% thank god

Dr. V is the best! I took his Lab and it was very clear that you must study the material, but he is very straight forward with what you need to know. What was nice is that your grade is not based on the midterm and final. You have pre-lab quizzes online, and quizzes at the beginning of every class(last weeks material) He wrote the text book!;)HELPS

Absolutely loved this class! I took his lab in Spring 2017 and passed with an A. He's extremely willing to answer any questions you have, should they arise and he explains in depth. You must study a lot if you want to pass, but you should expect that in any college science class. Taking his class again in the fall, I would recommend to anyone!

His power points are clear and straight to the point. He tells you exactly what you need to know for his tests. This is a HARD class but he does a great job at explaining everything.

Dr. V is a hard professor. I had him for both AP lecture and Lab and I should've dropped when I had the chance. Tests are hard and he words question's on the test differently so it's a lot of thinking. Even though you are a college student taking a hard class, he still treats you like a high schooler. His work is HARD, so beware.

Great Professor. Anatomy is really hard and you have to study a lot to do well. FORGET ABOUT YOUR SOCIAL LIFE!

I asked this "professor" for help so many times just to be shot down with "7 students got As on the last exam so you know it's possible" there's 30 students in this class, does that make you feel like a good teacher? Inaccurately graded assignments, and I didn't hear from him ONCE. Only announcements that the class was starting & ending. Very rude!

You are better off taking a course without a professor its like he isnt even there.

Attending his lectures is crucial if you want to pass as there are some topics within the textbook and his Powerpoint slides that won't be on his quizzes or exams.
