This was the most unorganized class I have ever taken. It is completely self-taught, what he teaches in his lectures does not reflect what he will test you on. We were multiple chapters behind, but were still responsible for them on his COMPREHENSIVE final. He also only taught to those who sat in the very front.

He makes three different versions of his exams, all covering different topics. It essentially makes your effort in reading every single chapter useless bc you have no clue which one you will be tested on. The questions are hard, confusing, and some clinical. Lectures a long, unclear, and very unhelpful. Overall the worst experience of my life.

Anatomy in general is a HARD course. But with Pedrozo, he pretty much sets you up for failure. Since he doesn't believe in any type of review or extra credit, you're expected to memorize the 150+ pages of a book for a 50 question test. 2/3 of the class failed each exam and he changed nothing to help us out. Take this anywhere else other than txst.

Will not curve ANYTHING which would be more understandable if there wasn't months worth of information on every test.

Never felt the need to warn people about a professor more than I have with Pedrozo. After going online b/c of COVID this man refused to help any of us with online issues, and posted 6 hours worth of lecture in 1 week with 5 different 2 hour assignments due too. Told us that we shouldn't need help, we're all just lazy cheaters. Taking A&P 2 @ CC.

When I asked the professor for help with a subject he told me that he had other students and did not have time. Other students are more important than him taking 30 seconds to explain something to me. Lost all respect after that and multiple other reasons..

There are many things I could mention about my experience but to sum it up this was one of the worst classes I've had. The material was not the problem; his handling of teaching, communication, and grading concerns was. He's unnecessarily rude over email & unclear about what he wants. Prepare for difficulty when asking him questions.

You cannot email this professor without getting your head cut off or some sort of sassy reply. Pedrozo thinks we have time to focus on his class and only his class, but we dont. His tests are stupid hard and most of the material he lectures about or puts on his powerpoints are NOT on the test. Pretty much everyone cries the entire semester over him

Exams every other week and lots of hw, labs took me all day to complete. Would give us 30 minutes to complete a "30 question" exam but one question would consist of 8 fill in the blanks. Lots of reading and on your own studying since he asks questions in exams that aren't in the lecture or more in depth than what was covered in the textbook.

Worst professor I have ever had. I made pages and pages of notes and spent hours on the material. His tests are ridiculously hard. Stay Away!!!! Take A&P at a community college if you need it for credit because taking it with Pedrozo will destroy your GPA.

This professor is EXTREMELY difficult to understand - he consistently says "um" and when he explains something it still makes no sense. He also doesn't approve lab manuals until lab is almost over, so you can't even complete lab work during your scheduled lab time. Just know you will have to read the textbook and watch videos on your own.

Terrible terrible. This man does not care about his students one bit. Cry in his face he will literally stare at you and say well redirect your sadness to something else. Test have errors and he wont note it. Test nothing like the lectures. Will miss grade you the whole semester. Lacks empathy towards students. Cant teach. Did I say terrible?

The tests are very difficult. The specifics that Pedrozo expects the student to recall are outrageous! It seems he's under the delusion that students are able to spend hours everyday pounding in the specifics for an intro level anatomy class. His lectures are dry and the tests are nerve-racking. If you take him, be ready to study for hours.

DO NOT bother taking Human Anatomy at Texas state go anywhere else to get credit. The experience was awful for being online could have been so much better. i get it is supposed to be a heavy intense class but also should be efficient in providing student with the actual chance to learn. It has prerecorded lectures some that you cant hear him.

Do yourself a favor and DO NOT take this man. For the love of GOD. I came into this class thinking anatomy would be my favorite subject but I left this semester hating anatomy. The tests were extremely hard in my opinion with no time at all. Be ready to read the textbook! Take it at a community college if you don't want your science GPA to be fried

Took him online and he was all over the place. He is not understanding in the slightest. No curves or extra credit. Tests are based a lot from the textbook. Random homework that would be due at random times on multiple websites and many people often missed them. Take at ACC unless you want your GPA to suffer. Have yet to meet anyone who made an A.

terrible. hated this class so much. tests are extremely difficult. ruined my gpa and my motivation

you really have to sit down and study for hours because his test are not just from his lectures, I mean you have to REALLY know what you're learning. He has no extra credit, homework doesn't make your grade any better but if you don't do them your grade will drop, he uploads 16 homework and needs them done in less than a week.

It's so bad, I wanna give you a 0. But that's not possible, so I give you a 1 Lectures are boring and not helpful, basically taught myself. YouTube is your best friend. Held class when it was supposed to be cancelled, didn't even make an announcement about it. Started class 30 minutes before scheduled time even when others had classes before.

Would never recommend this professor to anyone. I am on my third mental breakdown of the semester and I've never gotten an ounce of sympathy from this man. His exams have consistently had errors that he wont correct unless you ask to meet with him. I studied for HOURS and it's all been for nothing.

Pedrozo knows what he is talking about, however he can't teach it in a way that makes sense. Be prepared to be humiliated and disrespected in class and in office hours. I taught myself both Anatomy 1 and 2 through reading the lab manual and never attended class due to his ill-mannerism. Awful teacher take at CC if you want to get into nursing.

All over the place with lectures. I thought it would be slightly easier since it's an online course, but I was wrong. Take at community college if you can.

This teacher made such hard test and no review. The homeworks took at least 2 hours per assignment and there were so many quizzes and homeworks yet if you got hundreds on every single one of them, it didn't matter. They took so much time and never helped your grade. He is super unorganized and it is so hard to follow his lectures.

Dr Pedrozo's curriculum and lectures are completely unrelated. The random ramblings/rudeness and off topic conversations that take up most of the classes have no relations to the exams/graded materials. If u are a self sufficient studier his exams are fair, but again the lectures are off topic and unhelpful on what should be an interesting class.

Dr. Pedrozo is the worst professor i've ever taken. This is already a hard class and he most definitely does not make it any easier to learn. He goes on tangents that have nothing to do with lecture and does not use the given powerpoints most of the time. he says "it is my job to show you, not to teach you." WOULD NOT RECOMMEND HIM AT ALL!!!

This class will drop your GPA. Tests are extremely hard, NO REVIEWS. Lab is just as hard quiz every week no multiple choice and in person. Lectures make no sense, be prepared to teach yourself. SO MUCH HOMEWORK FOR NOTHING; doesn't help your grade at all. Everybody I know has failed and had to take this course 2-3 times.

did not like him at all and did not like the way he taught. attendance is mandatory (need a code in class) and it definitely seems like he doesn't care if students fail or not and he specifically said JUST his lectures would not be good enough to pass the class (AKA gotta teach yourself) so I pretty much only go for attendance and learn other ways

he is the actual worst. if you want to have daily breakdowns and terrible mental health go ahead and take him. No reviews, no extra credit, if you have a medical condition like i did and have to miss a test he will argue with you to no end and then make you pay $40 with a proctor to retake and he is so rude and unprofessional in emails.

I would not recommend this professor to anyone. I took his class last spring and had the most stressful semester. He literally called me stupid when I went to office hours to ask for help and know what questions I got wrong on exams. I hope he reads this and knows that I make A's on everything now with my new Anatomy 2 professor at another school.

different versions of exams with different levels of difficulty. sassy man with an ego who doesn't care about student success. goes on tangents in lectures, then unable to cover the information that will be on the exam. makes students feel stupid for asking questions. will give 75% of information and expect you to draw conclusions for the last 25%

Do not take A&P in this college. Only 2 professors are teaching it and both are weed-out classes. Pedrozo doesn't use study guides for exams nor tell us exactly what will be on the exam. Many students stayed after class to ask,did not give us a straight answer. Everything and nothing could be on the exam. Good luck. I wouldn't wish this on anyone.

Yea no. Don't take him. Anything he lectures on or talks about in class isn't on the test. No amount of studying could have prepared me for his tests. He's clearly clearly knowledgeable but expects students to be on the same level. If you wanna do well go in basically knowing all anatomy

Worst professor, doesn't know how to stay on tract and teach. Gets annoyed when asked you ask a question. Is ride to his students and everything he says on lecture won't be on the test.

Awful. Ruined my 4.0 from this class. On one test, more than half of the class failed, he showed stats and 4 out of 164 students received an A. He doesn't curve, so he doesn't compensate for his notsogreat teaching. This class ruined my GPA, even after putting in lots of effort outside of class. Disappointed in his lecturing

every morning when i woke up i'd hope a bus hit me, back up, and hit me again so i wouldnt have to go to this class

The professor rushes through 150+ slide lectures, often skipping key material that later appears on exams. His communication is passive-aggressive and discouraging, especially in office hours. Over half the class fails, yet he blames students instead of adjusting his teaching. He makes you feel dumb in office hours and is no help worst professor.

Gets so off track all the time jumps around so much you can't even follow what powerpoint slide he is on. Skips over so much stuff that's on the test.

Professor Pedrozo is a professor who could care less about his students. He doesn't connect with his students in any way and could obviously care less about the impact he could have. If you're looking to enjoy college and have a positive idea of your professors. Avoid him at all costs.

Pedrozo is the worst professor I have ever had. He isn't a good teacher, he just reads off slides. BORING lectures. The few interactions I had with him were all rude & passive-aggressive whether that be in person or email. He doesn't seem to care about his students at all. Txst needs to do better for their students. It's hard but doable. Good luck.

Worst professor ever
