Attendance is mandatory and there is a quiz at the beginning of every class. His grading is very flexible and reviews prior to the practicums. Always (from my experience) available after class and sends you you an Excel file with grades about often. The subject matter is difficult, and no matter how good the professor, you MUST read everything.

His lab is like a lecture class, besides studying for your lecture you will study for his lab's "lecture", he doesn't teach with models instead, he gives you 50 or more slides to memorize in one week, but not names but theory, book is mandatory, you will have to study models by yourself since they are required for practical, be careful

He does not understand what a lab is for and does not use the models at all. He treats it just like lecture. He does not seem to put any time or effort into the lab. Often he is literally writing the powerpoint presentation in the classroom minutes before class starts. I believe teaching is just a way for him to pay his bills. He doesn't care.

Managed to make classes through covid manageable, giving clear information on what is needed in order to pass the class. Takes his time to asks questions during lectures just to make sure you are understanding. Highly recommend Jacob Garcia if you are considering to knock out your A&P with an "A"

Honestly Professor Garcia made learning anatomy real easy since my lecture teacher didn't hold classes. He was clear with information and managed to be really successful during the pandemic. Be prepared to participate in class!

I took both the lab and lecture class for Professor JG. Both were online and required a pretty solid dedication to studying and homework. I did not find this course to be overwhelming as long as I stayed on top of it and planned accordingly. Make sure you come to class as well as Prof. JG always takes time to further explain when needed.

Professor Garcia is the nicest professor out there. He really cares about students. Don't be afraid to ask questions, he completely understands and is more than happy to help you understand the subject. Although its a lot of information to retain, make sure to pay attention and do the assignments. He also gives extra credit opportunities. 10/10!!

This professor explained most important topics as best as he could. Mind you I took him for summer so everything was faster. All the homework, quizzes, and tests were the set dates that he puts up with the exception of a few minor changes. Made the class really enjoyable for me. Everything was online nothing in person. Didnt have to buy textbook.

Amazing professor, if you need help he will help you! Responds to all my emails and answers to all my questions with kindness. Few homework assignments a week, but not too crazy that you can't keep up. He explains everything you have to do very clearly. BSC isn't an easy class, but he makes it easy to learn if you attend his lectures.

Takes his time to answer students' questions and makes sure that he answers your question. He has good jokes to lighten the mood and lots of interesting stories from his work as a doctor. Try to get him for lecture and lab! The homework and quizzes are well correlated. Be sure to study, you'll be lost in future chapters if you don't.

This professor is the cutest!! Hes super sweet and loves when students give feedback. Pearson assignments, quizzes, and practicums. Practicums are exactly like the assignments and quizzes so its easy to study off of. He is very intelligent and gives you a letter of recommendation if you meet his following requirements!

Best professor, respectful, Provides feedback, responds to email quickly, provides powerpoint that can be useful now and in the future. Assignments are not difficult if you put the time and effort; reviews are provided that will help with the test. He asks questions during lecture but the slides will help. Great to have him for lecture and lab.

I love this professor. Though it is a hard goodbye since he's going this is the last semester before retirement, I am happy that I am finishing this course with confidence. He inserts humour and personal experiences in when he goes over the powerpoints and isn't difficult to contact outside of school. Top G fr

Professor Garcia was a fun professor who enjoyed his job; going on tangents about his life and used mnemonics we can use to remember complex ideas. His homework was simple, just one assignment, a quiz a chapter, and a Practicum following those chapters. He was knowledgeable, hoping to do further research on topics he cares about in his retirement.

Amazing professor. Explains the information in a clinical way which made it easier as a future nurse to apply the material to the course and make connections as I progressed throughout the course. He is also very understanding and cares about his students that make effort in his class. 10/10 would recommend.
