This class isn't bad. It is lecture heavy and most of the lecture is on the powerpoint posted to blackboard. I would still recommend attending class to get a better breakdown of the material, but overall he gives you the material you need and help you out if you need it. He puts everything you need to pass in front of you.

Dr. Naji is an amazing professor. If you go to class and put the time in to study, you will pass. He teaches in a way that the whole class can understand. He explains the material very well and makes the lectures enjoyable.

I think this professor did a really great job at being descriptive considering online classes can be very difficult to understand concepts but since he had so much detail and lecture tools available it made it a little easier to understand the material. He responds to emails quickly and cares about his students succeeding in his class.

Dr. Naji has not only inspired many of his students to keep learning, but he has also always inspired so many students not to give up. He is always available for questions both in class and outside of class time. You will learn in his class!!

This has been the best professor I have had. He is so dedicated to what he does and is very helpful and a very good resource. If you reach out and need help he will make sure you understand what you are having trouble with. He cares about his students and wants you to succeed.

Dr. Naji is the goat! It wasn't easy, but if you actually study & put the time in, it pays off in the end. I am now an SI for his anatomy class. But at the time of taking the class, what really helped me was going to his open labs & went to his office hours. He really helped me drill the bones & muscles so I was able to really understand.

Dr.Naji is an outstanding professor. The class is very difficult, but if time is put into studying, it can be done. You can tell that he truly wants you to pass and is not trying to trick you on practical exams. There are multiple opportunities to meet outside of lab to study. He also provides MANY online tools to help you study. USE THEM!!

I took this course during the summer, so it was completed in about 8 weeks. Dr. Naji helped me so much with understanding everything. It is very lecture heavy, but if you pay attention, you'll be okay. I'm a kinesthetic learner and he did as much as he could to help me. He makes lost classes fun and lively. Definitely recommend! :)

It's a no-brainer that this class is difficult, and time is going to be needed in order to succeed in this course. With that being said, I would take any class he has to offer as I know that I will be truly learning the material

Dr. Naji was a phenomenal professor. He made lectures as interactive as possible especially given the rigorous deadlines of a summer course. He made it extremely clear he wanted his students to succeed, and he always had a concept boost as well as a hint of wit to every last lab and lecture. The class is tough, but he makes it achievable.

His lectures helped a lot, and he does well at answering questions. He always answered them to the best of his ability and went into as much depth as he could with me in order to ensure that I was understanding. I highly recommend him to any student, especially if Anatomy is a subject you may struggle in because he does very well at teaching it.

Professor Naji was an amazing professor. Since I took the summer class it was definitely challenging. He does give you lots of study guides and extra materials, but you do have to study quite a bit. With it being a summer course it was very fast-paced, but he truly wants everyone to succeed and was overall one of the best professors I've ever had.
