He's is soo funny and extremely organized so you dont have to read the book word for word because he explains it well in his notes.
this guy gets so excited it's fun to listen to him. he gives excellent notes adn good lectures. picky grader so you have to learn this precisely. higly reccommended
excellent teacher who really knows his stuff. exams are tough though
His expectations before the drop date is unbelievable and very hard to meet but after the drop date it gets easier-so stick it through. However the class itself is hard. so good luck-you will definately need it.
a great lecturer and nice guy
very good teacher. his tests are hard but he gives good lectures. he knows his stuff. i highly recommend him.
VERY GOOD TEACHER... YOU HAVE TO MOTIVATE YOURSELF AND KEEP UP WITH THE WORK. ALWAYS STUDYING IS THE KEY WORDS THAT DESCRIBE THIS CLASS
He is a good teacher, but it's really hard class, his multiple questions are confusing. I recomend you to take Greenwell or Kjos, these teachers much more easier.
An excellent teacher for anatomy/physiology. I totally recommend to take his class because he really prepares you for any health field you are going into. The lecture exams and lab practicals are pretty tough, but if you study hard you'll do well in the class.
Loves to teach, great professor, if you work hard and study hard and A is very possible!
If you work hard for his class, you will succeeed. Lecture is very clear and interesting. Highly recommended. He is funny too.
Jaime can be a very errogant person. He tends to favor only the people who are doing well in his class, and treats the people who are struggling or not getting a very good grade poorly. If you do not word things on his exams the way he thinks they should be you do not get a very good grade. He is a good lecture instructor.
Awsome teacher!!!! I loved his lectures, very clear. He is funny too. The class in itself is hard, a lot of memmorisation, but he explains it very well.
Excellent teacher, very knowlegable, very clear, is conscious of whether the class is following what he is teaching. His classes are not easy, you really have to study hard but he will definitely work with you. His is very funny and his class is interesting, you won't be falling asleep! A great professor.
i never really liked science and did very poorly in it until i had his class. he totally changed my feelings for the subject in a positive way. and it really helps that he is sooo hott!!! hehe!
His very enthusiastic about his subject thus, making most students want to learn more. That is very rare in an instructor now a days. Even thought he makes me hungry with his food examples I love going to his class and will miss his lec. since the semester is at an end. :0( ;0)

sarte is one of the best of all time. very helpfull, very smart in teaching, very kind person. take all of his class
This teacher is very hard. He has 30 to 40 multiple choice questions on his tests. They are very confusing and hard. His final is 100 multiple choice questions. He's a very nice person and likeable. If you take this class- Good luck
i used to dread this class untill i took him. not only is his his lectures easy to understand he is very laidback. all his tests on based on his lectures so as long as you attend his class, u will do just fine.
Prepare yourself to study a lot!
Very nice person and great personality. Tests were very hard and study guides not helpful.
Amazing teacher, so nice and helpful!
i loved this teacher! he is the best! he is very helpful and understanding. he makes learning fun and explains it so u can understand it. u do have to study alot but hey it bio what do u expect. i got an A in his class. i recommend anyone take this sweet man
for (Biology 431) o.m.g, highly not recommended him. he is a nice person, but a very hard teacher for this class. great luck with him. if u have no choice then u take him. veryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy hard, lost teacher.
(BIO 431) O.m.G.HE'S NICE GUY, BUT VERY HARD TEACHER,HIS NOTICES ARE NOT ORGANIZED, THE CLASS ITSELF IS NOT THAT HARD,BUT HE MAKES IT HARDER.EVERY CLASS YOU WILL HAVE QUIZ'S, HIS TEST'S ARE VERY CONFUSING. HIGHLY NOT RECOMMEND HIM FOR THIS BIOLOGY CLASS. TAKE SOMEONE ELSE SO YOU CAN LEARN THE SUBJECT, NOT GETTING LOST BECAUSE OF TEACHER. GOOD LUCK
I like him,he has a wonderful personality,he is okay.His tests are based on Lecture notice and alsofrom Textbook. I think that's what make him harder teacher.He gives quizs every class.To be honest would say he is the hardest, unfair teacher for this subject.Take someone else bio431 with A.salim at CRC.I personal donot recommend anyone taking him.
HE IS A GOOD PERSON,BUT HE IS NOT A GOOD TEACHER. HE'S VERY TOUGH, HIS TESTS ARE 100 PERCENT HARDER THAN OTHER TEACHERS I BELIEVE. I WAS PUTTING ALL MY TIME FOR THIS CLASS, BUT I COULD PASS IT WITH THE B OR A GRADE. HIGHLY NOT RECOMMENDED FOR BIOL CLASS. BEST OF LUCK IF YOU DID TAKE HIM. BECAUSE HE WAS NOT THE RIGHT TEACHER FOR ME,ISN'T ORGANIZED.
Honestly speaking, I took Jaime for bio 430 and 431. I really like this professor. He explains everything very well. I took him first semester so i knew his strategy, the way he brings out the exams so may be that was helpful. If you know how to study then any class could be easy.
This was a demanding class but I was able to get an A by studying his notes and using the book only as a reference. His tests require critical thinking and he doesn't give extra credit but it is definitely possible to do well. It's just about being disciplined, really. This is the first science course that I've earned an A in.
Very hard and NOT helpful! His lecture are not CLEAR and PRECISE! URGH!
Very hard class, subject & teacher. Goes through the material & doesn't stop, even if students don't get it-probably doesn't care-just wants to get it done. Does not try to present material in a different way or to find out why the students don't understand. Tests are very hard. Would recommend taking another instructor.
Wonderful teacher. It was a pleasure taking his class. He curves the grades, which is rather helpfull for everyone. If you are willing to put time and effort, A is attainable in his class. Study guides and Lecture notes are really helpfull and will definetely help you on the test. Review them thoroughly and you'll do well ;) Ended up gettin an A+ o
This teacher is passionate about this topic, which makes class fun. He doesn't set the curriculum- and there is A LOT of material to cover in this class. If you pay attention to what he tells you you will rock this class.
so hard teacher!!don't take his class i'm warning you guys!
Oh come on people. What are u expecting from A&P class? Just sit around and get an A? Dnt blame the instructor blame yourself if u couldn't pass the class. Prof Sarte is a good instructor and yes the class is hard ( science classes are all hard) but if u study and do your part then you are in good shape. I definitely recommend him
Very smart teacher, Sarte knows his material. At times way to in depth to grasp and still make grades.
I took him for A&P as well as Pathology. Pathology was way harder, even though it was 2 units less than A&P. He is a good teacher, you just have to put in the work and study hard!
This is a "gate" class. It is designed to filter students from proceeding any further down a medical path if they cannot pass this course. It is a difficult class, and should be. Sarte does a good job with lecture, and expects you will pay careful attention. He also tests on comprehension, not just rote memorization. Overall, very good quality.
Come on, when is the last time you took a Biology class and got an A without trying? This guy is a little bit hard, but he is one of the best science teachers I've ever had. I took his class a year ago and still remember a lot of things from it. He is very nice, and I didn't have to study for hours on end. Just study what he says is important!
I was nervous about this class at first, but he made it so easy. Attendance isn't strict but try to come everyday. His guides are helpful as well. Also, he's very friendly so don't be afraid to ask questions during lecture or after class! I hope to take his A&P class in my future semester!
Sarte's a great guy. Everything on the test is covered in lecture. Study guides are given and potential essay questions are pointed out. Its not an easy A, but it is attainable. He also focuses more on treatment than most professors which is cool for future nurses. Hes not the perfect teacher but I would still recommend him.
his help's with reviews and great lecture.But you have to go over your notes and put more info your you to retain the info.quiz's are at least once a chapter but he tells you what to review. 8-10 questions. the course is three chapters at a time so a little tough but his better than the other teachers i took before. good luck study hard :)
Currently in 430, love him. He is so helpful and funny, he makes it so easy to understand and remember. However, it is the hardest class I have ever had. Never had to study before in my life and I never stop now. Study hard, and you'll do good and actually understand what he's teaching. He really ties clinical uses into our info so it's relevant.
My favorite professor by far! The way he teaches is precise and interesting at the same time. He has an ability to help you fully comprehend the material and correlates in into clinical applications. He uses power points and detailed notes. Having taken another professor for bio431 there is NO comparison! I highly recommend taking him.
Very helpful and makes it easy to understand the material.
Sarte is the bomb! Attendance is not mandatory but you really do not want to miss class as he pulls exam questions from lab notes and lecture notes. This class requires studying. Sarte is funny and affable in general. He makes jokes and uses examples that stick to memory. He is also fair and easy to talk to.
best professor. he makes learning easy and his notes are very helpful to understand the material.
I wish I took him for my A & P classes! Absolute best bio/science professor! He gives study guide questions and the exams are the exact same questions. He is easy to talk to and really funny! Take him!
Great Professor!!! His lectures are clear and helpful.Test are not easy, but they are straight from the study guide. If you study, you will do good. It was a pleasure to be in his class. (:
Sarte is a great professor, very nice and helpful. 5 exams & a few quizzes. Attendance is taken, book isnt needed. Sarte is a bit unorganized and not quite as knowledgeable on some topics. But thats to be expected as its only offered every once in awhile. Exams are based on study guides, easy class. Alot of diseases to cram in, very similar to a&p.
Definitely makes you work for your grade. Crams lots of information to take in, study groups HELP. tests are quite difficult but if you study and do the study guide, you will pass. He's funny, gets along well with the class. Coming from a student who isn't good in science, he makes learning enjoyable. Plus, he's good looking Haha
Pay attention to the lectures, take good notes, do the study guides, and you'll easily ace the class. He's a great professor and I learned a lot from this class, you won't regret it at all!
Pay attention to the lectures, take good notes, do the study guides, and you'll easily ace the class. He's a great professor and I learned a lot from this class, you won't regret it at all! A lot of people in class found studying together to be helpful, but I didn't and as long as you focus on the study guide, you should be good!
Prof. Sarte is the best! I had him for bio 430431. Anatomy and physiology is not an easy course be prepared to work and earn your grade. He made class fun and he's hysterical. Highly recommend him! Take good lecture notes. Finals are tough. Good luck and Sarte you rock!
Sarte is an amazing and very helpful professor. He is enthusiastic and his lectures are very informative. He points out things that could potentially be on the exam (they almost always are!) He makes biology fun and makes it seem easy. I thought I would have a tough time because of all the physiology but I ended up getting an A! Take him!
Took intro to Anatomy and Physiology with Professor Sarte last semester. He was awesome and explained things really well! Interesting class. Moved along pretty fast. Definitely lots of memorization required so you do have to study.
nice but hard. very good teacher though and makes class interesting.
Best Bio professor in the world! (Not kidding) Night and day from the professor I took for 430. He is willing to help his students in any way he can to succeed. I ended with an A but it was a roller coaster of a ride and sleepless nights of studying! Be ready to work because biology is tough in general, but Sarte is your best bet if you want an A!
He lectures very well, super passionate, gives a few extra credit but I feel that who rate this professor are the ones whom received A's. His exams are worded very hard nothing to do with what he lectured and that's what killed me, except his final exam that one was worded like his quizzes. Good luck to all
Prof Sarte is a wonderful teacher! The class is really tough, but Sarte teaches clearly and really wants you to do well. He's very funny and makes the material engaging. Also, everything he writes on the board during lecture is important, so as long as you rewrite notes (I wrote them onto flash cards) and put in good effort, you should be ok!
Professor Sarte is AMAZING! If you want to truly learn application of A&P take him. I wish I would have taken him for both A&P 430 & 431. You can't go wrong taking him, show up to class be present and study, you should do fine!
One of my friends convinced me to take his class last semester and at first, it was daunting. His tests are heavily lecture based, but he does a great job of condensing information for his students. He really does care about everyone and wants us to do well. If you really want to retain the information after class is finished, take Sarte! He rocks!
Great Professor. I am not good at science and I am passing this class because of how well he teaches.
I had the privilege of taking Professor Sarte for both 430 & 431 and I would take him again in a heartbeat!! He is by far one of the best professors at Sac City for A&P. Make sure to record his lectures, go to open lab and form a study group! He's passionate about his teaching and his student. He's a great professor and I'll miss his classes.
I absolutely love Professor Sarte! He's hilarious and makes A&P enjoyable
Sarte is a great lecturer and explains things clearly. He knows his stuff. His pathology lectures are very crowded and disorganized however. Makes it hard to narrow down the essentials for the exam. Exam format is terrible too. 40 MC from over 400 slides? doesn't make sense. Similarities and differences? like what? just give a normal exam dude
I took him for bio 100 and was inspired to take his harder classes. There so much information but if you show up to lectures, take good notes and understand the concepts on the study guide( and STUDY) you will pass! You will have to work for an A or B but in my opinion he's a great teacher! (and isn't boring!)
This review is only for Pathology class. Very sweet guy, and charming. Is a genius, you will see when he starts lecturing, which is where he lost some of the not so genius students. His lectures r basically hard review of his PP's. very unorganized, study guides are helpful to get at least a B. I used text book a lot and self taught myself.
Wonderful professor. Take him! He lets you know what is expected from you, there's no trick questions on his exams, there would be everything that was covered in class. Getting an A is much less stress in his class. I took Greenwell and she's a great professor and lectures enthusiastically, but there's lot's of tricky questions on her lecture exams
Professor Sarte is a great professor. However reading the book before class is very important and is key in receiving good grades on the tests. He gives quizzes once a week. Study guides are nothing like the test. Study the information he puts on the board and add information from the book into your notes and you should pass with no problem.
I took Professor Sarte for both 430 and 431. He is seriously so intelligent and has a real passion for the subject he teaches. This class is difficult no doubt, and a lot of time has to be put in if you want a passing grade. He makes the subjects interesting, and even throws a little humor in every once in a while. I would absolutely take again.
Great professor! Not an easy A, he makes you work for it. Many say he leaves things out when really he makes you look for the answer yourself. So, expect a lot of studying outside of class. Especially since there are exams every 2-3 weeks. Study groups help a lot!
Great anatomy/physiology instructor. Just finish 430 and doing 431 in the fall. I took the hybrid class so lectures were online which gives you extra time to pause and watch them again if you miss anything. Thid class is easy if its the only class you take ans life doesnt get in the way. Its super hard when theres less time and more distractions.
A&P is a difficult class in itself. You must understand the structure, the fxn of an organ and how it fxns as a system. There is a lot to learn. It is a hybrid course so ask questions. Go to office hours. Don't rely on just the lecture. Study the textbook as well. Group studying is also recommended. He's also funny, caring and kind of cute.
Great professor. Makes a tough subject easy-ish. I prefer the hybrid class so this class was perfect. His lectures are videos on Canvas so you can go back and watch as many times as you want. He's very entertaining with his dad jokes. Registered to take him in fall.
First class I ever took, I was in high school so through the advanced education program. Very helpful to use the note packets provided as you just fill in important information. Gives a decent amount of homework but with enough time to complete. Very caring of his students and wants everybody to pass. 10/10 would take again.
Really good at his job. Explains it all and does not sugar coat when telling u what to do for which exam at all. Very sarcastic at times can come off mean...
Hes an alright professor. During the pandemic, he wasnt very nice, made all exams that were online recorded, camera and sound. Didnt make things any easier when it was moved online fully. Hes nice and wants everyone to pass but still makes it very difficult.
The class is tough, but professor is amazing. He is so caring, and wants the students pass class. You have to be prepared work hard, ask question, go to open lab, make flash cards, and study everything from lectures and book.
I took professor Sarte's class based on a recommendation from a friend, and I was not disappointed. He almost always injects humor/anecdotes into the lecture making it easy tp listen to. His grading criteria is very clear, he offers plenty of office hours and encourages tutoring while. I will be trying for his class again next term
MEMORIZE MEMORIZE! An amazing professor I took for BIO 430 and 431. Exams are very lecture and lab heavy, memorize everything if you can. Curves exams tremendously, sometimes by a full letter grade. 4 Exams and a cumulative final. I have learned so much in this class. He is funny and caring and adds in Dad jokes. Canvas is well organized
As tough as this class was, I learned a lot. There were times where I would dread thee work but at the end of the course I realized I had learned so much. During the pandemic, all lectures and labs were pre recorded and you must watch and take notes to submit. We had 5 exams and a final and a few opportunities for extra credit. Take to learn a lot!
Professor Sarte is a pretty nice guy (if dad jokes are your thing, youll like him) but if youre taking him online, be aware he requires you print and handwrite his lecture notes and labs. Its not hard stuff, but theres quite a bit of work. Its a rigorous course, and I am sure the class wouldve been way better in person.
Just wasn't the right professor for me; I didn't really like the recorded lectures we had to take notes on (this was during COVID, so maybe he's much better in person). I had to HEAVILY read the textbook because sometimes he wouldn't go in depth enough or provide enough context for certain parts of the lecture leading to frustration and confusion
Took prof Sarte during the pandemic. I did feel lost during his lecture vids and had to watch a lot of YouTube vids to really understand the material. I liked that we had to submit notes, we got credit and it kept me on track. I also appreciated him doing lab vids! Wouldve taken for bio431 but didnt work for my schedule. Hes a good professor!
Professor Sarte is a great professor. Funny sense of humor that alleviates a lot of stress. A&P is tough already but once you get into a rhythm of his exam style, its not so bad with him. Lecture exams are more tough than lab exams. Lecture videos with notes for homework are weekly as well as quizzes. He tells you what to study for on the quizzes
Professor Sarte truly wants his students to succeed. Quizzes are straight forward usually with some extra credit questions. A&P is tough, but professor Sarte finds a way to encourage his students to keep pushing. Lab exams consist of anatomy using the models in class and the functions of the specific body parts. Really nice & dedicated A&P teacher!
He tends to rush his lab powerpoints and my classmates feels overwhelm, since he miss some fxns'. For the lec exams, make sure to focus on the bold Q's, since he ask a lot of Q's about it. The remaining Q's focus you should focus on the lec material. For the lab exam, he point at really small structures, so make sure you know it. Good luck.
This class was too much work! AVOID AT ALL COST! Lectures were tedious and submitted for points every few days or so. HAND WRITTEN NOTES ONLY! There were quizzes for each section every week. LOTS of material to learn. DREADFUL class.
The best A and P instructor. Am a nurse now but I don't mind if I take him again , he is the best instructor. Even though I got B I didn't mind cuz I learned a lot. If u put effort read more you will get A plus lots of knowledge Bless you sarte
Genuinely one of the nicest and knowledgeable professors at Los Rios. He has long lectures with notes submitted before every class, and quizzes about every other week and an exam every 4/5 weeks. I learned so much from this class and it was something I looked forward to every week. Take this class if you want to know a lot and have fun :)
The course was rough and heavily relied on tests. It was hard to bring up grades with the home work and quizzes every week because they were not worth enough points. The after the second unit test, both lab and lecture tests suddenly increased in difficulty as you had to memorize all the notes for an A. He took days to respond to emails.
I'm so glad I had Professor Sarte as my professor. He's a funny guy, his humor made learning the material more enjoyable for me. Lecture videos and notes were heavy for the most part, but the class format and schedule was organized. We had access to visuals, models, lab manuals, and textbooks. He truly wants to see his students succeed!
Professor Sarte is the BEST professor for BIO 430. He makes a very long lab class bearable with his humor. Professor Sarte truly cares about his students and wants you to succeed. If you are thinking about taking Prof. Sarte 1000% do it!!!
This class was entirely way too much work. If you have a job or other classes, you will not be able to keep with this class. There is a quiz every week. Lecture and Lab exam on the same day. 20-page study guides that have to be turned in. 4 lectures a week that are almost an hour long each and notes have to be submitted for each one.
Great teacher! Made a hard subject a little more palatable with his dad jokes. Lab in person, lec online. He is a straight shooter, gives lots of hints on what will be on exams. Gives study guides so you know what to focus on. Many xtra cred opps. Very approachable & knowledgeable prof. Would rec. if you don't want a boring prof.

Professor State is a great professor. The class was well structured and he is knowledgeable and well fit to teach this class. He is a nice, approachable guy who can also be funny. If you want to pass your a&p classes, he is a great professor to have.
Best prof ever! Super caring, very knowledgable and wants his students to succeed in class! This is a hard course in general so expect a lot of work. Lets you retake the quizzes so take it like an exam at first to help you learn! Do his study guides! Super helpful for the exams. No surprises on the exams. Everything on the exams is what he taught.
Amazing professor! Study the study guides, and you'll be fine.
Challenging but rewarding class. Professor Sarte's dad jokes made it more enjoyable. Lots of exams and mandatory attendance, but he provides helpful study guides. Unstuck ai was a great tool for preparing.
Professor Sarte is an amazing teacher! He makes the lectures interesting and funny. Use the study guide and you will do great on lecture tests and quizzes. Go to open Lab days and study the models as there's not much time with them in class. Lots of work but easy to get a good grade if you take the time. Would definitely take again!
Prof. Sarte has been one of the best professors I've had in College. He really cares about his students and wants them to succeed.I love that he speaks about us being nurses almost as if he's speaking it into existence. He's Super hilarious. I've learned so much in this class, and I feel like I did because of how passionate he is about teaching.
Professor Sarte is genuinely caring and wants his students to succeed. He's very nice, approachable, and funny. Especially for the content we are learning, the exams are pretty easy if you studied. Everything on exams is what he teaches! Labs are the easiest. Would recommend, especially if you struggle with anatomy classes.
