HE IS EXTREMELY HELPFUL EVEN THOUGH HE HAVE A STRONG ACCENT YOU CAN STILL PASS HIS CLASS U REALLY DONT NEED THE BOOK HE GO BY USING POWERPOINTS AND IF U FAIL EVERY EXAM FOR EX YOU GET A 50 ON IT HE OFFER YOU TO DO ASSIGNMENTS TO BRING YOUR GRADE UP I PASS WITH A "B" AND RECEIVE POINTS FOR COMING TO CLASS AS WELL!

I loooved the professor more than I loved the class. His accents kinda hard to understand but you get used to it. He really knows his stuff when it comes to biology and you don't use the book because all his notes are on powerpoints which he emails to his students. The tests tho were kinda hard. He does give extra credit so take advantage of that.

Professor Puentes is great! Attendance is mandatory as he mostly works off of his power points. The book is optional. Homework goes toward extra credit for the test. He has an accent, but you can understand what he says. He always answers your questions and constantly checks with the class to make sure everyone understands.

Professor Puentes is great. The entire course is presented through powerpoints so it can get a little monotonous and boring. The professor makes jokes and small talk throughout, however, so it never gets too bad. Exams were all open-notes in my class so it helped me incredibly.

AMAZING instructor. He has a slight accent but the professor is extremely helpful and goes out of his way to make sure you understand the material. Teaches through powerpoint, gives us all material needed for midterm & final. highly recommend.

The best professor! He is so funny! Also, he is very helpful if you show him that you are interested in learning. He is an MD and he knows a lot!! It's a very interesting class if you want to learn anatomy and general health and diseases. Tests were a little hard but 50% of the grade was depended on the writing assaingnments. Highly recommended!!

It was an amazingly interesting and relaxing class. At the end of the semester, we had an oppurtunity to think about origin of life. We couldn't stop talking about it even during a break. He was a very helpful professor and very funny, too! The exams were easy and very minimum assignments as well. I had a so much fun.

Had him for lab. Great class, I recommend Professor Puentes.

Professor Puentes is an excellent instructor very nice gentleman, hands on, took him for 1086 Lab. I really enjoyed his class and his learning style, he wants you to learn and will make sure you understand his class. Take him he is the best.

Took him for my lab, he is a little hard to understand but that's all. I really like the fact that he went over everything that had been covered in the lecture so it was like a second review. he is very hands on and will help you out. he is very flexible and gives you many chances to obtain a good grade, like giving extra credit. good teacher!

Retook A&P 1 lecture with him. I received an F the first time with a different professor and received an A with him....grade depends on your effort and teacher! he was very helpful and understanding with us. especially since we had a night class. He understood we all had to work and were trying to better our lives. I recommend you take him.

he is very good teacher I recomend him

I took him for lab. Great professor. Count on your lecture to teach you the bulk of your information because he flies through his power-points. He is very hands on, will always help, creates a relaxed classroom atmosphere, gives extra credit, wants everyone to get an A. And he can be pretty funny too. Weekly quiz so get to class on time! Recommend!

I took him for both A&P 1 and 2 and his labs. He does teach off his ppt but he also uses the book so have both. He's a great teacher very helpful & wants you to get an A but you need to study & put effort into it. His lectures are about physiology & how the body works & labs are strictly understanding the parts & how they relate.

Good guy. He wants everyone to pass. Very helpful and gives opportunities to raise your grade. You can tell he's passionate about anatomy but he's a little disorganized. He doesn't post grades. You have to stay on top of him and constantly ask what your current grade is. His grading system is a miracle worker. Came out with an A in both lect & lab

Great professor, very helpful to his students and will not move on until you understand. He is very passionate about the course and wants you to learn.

Highly recommended!! He is a nice helpful man and a great professor. Although he has a strong accent, he teaches the information you need to know and disregards all the additional clutter. The subject itself is difficult and requires a lot of memorization but if you take pictures of the models and attend class you shall Ace the course.

He does have a thick accent, but he obviously knows what he is talking about. If you do the lab manuals and listen in class, you should do fine on the midterm and final. Quizzes, lab manual and visits to the Anatomy tutoring center are all extra credit. He is funny and sarcastic, I'm taking him again for BSC2086L :)

He does NOT have a quiz at the beginning of each class, as other professors, which is awesome. He gives you towards the end of the class 10 extra points if you completed the handbook. He is very specific on what he wants you to study for midterm and final. He does have an accent but you can ask if you don't understand. He is very cool

Good guy but hard to understand. Expects you to teach yourself. Dont expect to pass unless you go to the mocks. Take the extra time and do the extra credit. He has a kind heart but hes a very hard teacher and comes off as if he doesnt care about your grade. If you dont study or go to the ASC, YOU WONT PASS. ASK QUESTIONS CONSTANTLY!!

grades in his labs are based on midterm and final only. He gives extra credit for doing the lab manual. the tests are easy if you spend a little time studying what he tell you to

Puentes is a nice guy. just study what he tells you for the exam and you will be good

He does care about his students and their grades. He tells you EXACTLY what will be on the test. In a subject that is very hard he narrows it down to what is necessary. He has an accent but you can understand him. He is very smart and passionate about the subject. Show up, listen to what he says, do the mock practicals and lab book, easy A. Do it!!

Prof. Puentes is a very nice guy. He tells you exactly what you need to study for the midterm and final exams. If you pay attend every class and pay attention to what he says, you will get an A. Just remember that A&P is a tough class and you need to review the models, take the mock exams and memorize a lot. Take him and you won't regret it.

He's a great professor, he has a strong accent. he tells you exactly what will be on the midterm and exam and if you study all the material on the body parts you will get an A . I love the class very easy.

WELL JUST GO TO ASC AND YOU WILL DEFINETLY PASS. COMPLETE THE LAB MANUAL AND THAT 15 EXTRA POINTS. NO QUIZ PLUS GRADE IS OFF MIDTERM AND FINAL

Professor Puentes is excellent, he gives a lot of extra points, he don't uses the book which is awesome bc you don't have to read a lot, you must read the power points thats all, and he tells exactly was going to be on the test.

Great Professor. I'm taking him now, and I'm enjoying his class. Once you read the book, attend class, there's no way you wont get an A.

He is a no nonsense type of professor but he knows his stuff. Do the pre labs and youll be fine. He also gives a 10 question quiz every other week but will never test you on something he didnt teach you. PAY ATTENTION!!!

He's a straight forward professor and he tells you what will be on the test and everything you need to know. Chances to get extra credit and tells you about easy pop quizzes. Do prelabs. I failed before and I passed with a B with him with minimal effort. Anatomy is already hard, so he's probably the best you'll get. Study a little and you'll pass.

Nice guy, easy A - just don't miss lab

Good professor you have to listen when he says something is important it will be on test. His quizzes are difficult but his midterm and final are exactly what he tells you to study. He is always willing to answer your questions.

he has a bit of an accent but he is a good teacher! he can be a little slow on giving grades back so you should keep track of your own, gives you extra credit for your pre/post labs and teaches every section well before letting you do your own thing in the class time.

Professor Puentes is super sweet & funny! Tries his best to make lectures interesting & gives great examples all through out the lessons! Pay attention to the lectures & study for the tests, you'll pass.

Prof. Puentes is an amazing teacher. He teach you not only to memorize anatomy, but to think critically and understand physiology. He gives tricky questions on the tests, but if you really understood the material, then you will have no problem with it. Also, he gives a lot of opportunities for extra credits.

Very good professor. Specific. Test every week. Make sure you do the pre-labs they help a lot towards your final grade. If you don't care you won't pass.

This is a class that requires you to read. Professor Puentes doesn't teach like other teachers, but he's willing to answer your questions. His PowerPoints are helpful. He's specific when it comes to studying for exams. This class is not a "walk over". You will pass if you are dedicated to learning.

He has 4 tests. No midterm/final. For the 3 tests you need to study (has a study guide) and the 4th test is open book super easy. Has a accent but no big deal. If you talk to him one on one he will definitely help you. Plus, if you end up with a 67-69% he will make it 70% so you can pass. Try to get him for lab too! Be nice & respectful to him!!!

I love him! He has a heavy accent which makes it funny.. Overall, he know what he is talking about. He tries hard for everyone to pass and gives chances. Anatomy class is overall hard. If you get a bad grade, well that because you put in no effort. I would definitely take him again if I can. Had him for AP Lecture and corresponding Lab.

He is a very nice professor, his accent doesn't bother me at all because I can still understand him. If you study, you will pass the class. I took both classes with him and I passed both. Professor Puentes performs really well, he knows his material perfectly, I would definitely take him as a teacher again.

Good class

The homework was very easy and he tells you exactly what topics would be on the exams. Plus he always provides extra credit questions on the exams. Very easy class you just have to study a lot.

He assigned a lot of quiz that you can do at home. To pass this class you need to constantly be review the models and reading the textbook. You'll need to study a lot for this course. But Professor Puentes is understanding and a great professor.

He is an overall great professor. Lots of opportunities to raise your grade. He gives a lot of extra credit and extend due dates if needed. The connects are worth 100 points and the lab your prelab is worth a grade as well. Make sure you study and pay attention. He lets you know ahead of time what to expect. Also provide study guides.

Professor Puntes was pretty chill, (I wasn't crazy about his teaching style so I had to teach myself but as a science major I feel like that's normal). Cons: He doesn't give you a study guide or clear answer of what exactly to study for exams Pros: If you study those models consitently & do the online quizzes and you'll pass

Professor Puentes is an excellent teacher. He comes everyday to class ready to actually lecture with the PowerPoints as a guide. He provides a study guide with the concepts that will be on each exam. He also provides extra credit on the exams for creating a study guide for them. Overall I enjoyed his class, learned a lot, and didn't find it hard.

The professor provides a helpful study guide outlining what will be on exam. But quizzes & tests, mostly fill-in-the-blank, often feel misleading; even when answers seem correct, they're marked wrong,& with no way to review mistakes, you're left confused, which feels excessive for a one-credit class. I think class was easy as long as you study.
