Wallano loves his job. He is 100% student friendly. He does not try to trick you on lecture or exam. He is fair . He keeps the class fully ingaged with great humor and insights. He encourages class participation. His does not like tardiness, whispering and clicking pins. This Professor leaves a life long positive impression. He is wonderful.

He is the best teacher in Anatomy. He is very helpful and clear when he explains. He is not an easy pass teacher but you should do his activities and study in advance before going to class and pretty sure you will get an easy A. We treat each other as close friends, and not as teacher and student which makes more comfortable to us. I recommend him.

Yes he is an easy teacher, but if you are going to school to learn do not take this professor. He is incredibly disorganized. When asked about how he graded our class work he said to leave him alone. I looked forward lab work, but he offered almost no guidance during lab and our final labs were not done because he had us throw away our samples.

He's moody, untrustworthy, and selects his favorites. If he wants you to get an A, you're lucky. He plays too many games and gives hard tests on purpose to bring everyone's grade down just to "punish" them. In reality, he's "punishing" the entire class for one person's mistake. His class is unstructured and unprofessional. Take him at your own risk

This is the worst professor I have ever had in my entire college career! He doesn't know how to teach the class. He doesn't have a structure in the class at all. He is easily annoyed by students. Please if you want to learn micro take other professors. I regret the day I enrolled for his class. He doesn't answer his question, his lectures poorly!

He can be scattered brain so if you like to be really organized with your notes, it won't happen. His "homework" were worksheets (5-7 pages depending) and the lecture exams would be based off the worksheets. In lab, he is great and really helpful if you ask for help. He get moody, slightly sarcastic, and can be emotional.
