Very funny and nice
I really liked this class and love how it's hands on and can work with others.
Great teacher. He's not one to hold your hand so you're on your own on studying. If you study hands on, you'll do great here. Don't slack. Very motivational as well.
He is an amazing professor however if you are looking for an easy A than you should reconsider taking his class. He wants you to know and understand the material so you defiantly have to study study study! He is very knowledgeable and wants every student to succeed.
Dr. Garcia is a good professor but the class itself is very hard and takes a lot of studying to pass, but he does help with a lot of extra credit and hands on examples.
I'm not going to lie he knows his stuff he is very very big headed expects you to drop everything for his class including family hehas a strong accent so if English is already hard for you to understand you'll have trouble he is very caring though and does give extra credit
Good professor. Makes it clear on the first day what you need to do to pass the class. He offers tons of extra credit options you just need to study. Only thing is you cannot miss class. He takes off points for every class you miss, but if you have perfect attendance you get extra credit at the end of the semester.
The class is very good as it allows you to meet others and work with others to study and learn in a less serious way although you must pay attention and not procrastinate this is a tough class but it's up to one to do as good as you want to do.
This class takes a lot of work to get an A. Dr. Garcia is an intelligent professor that will help you learn for your career in science. There are two quizzes an two tests. There is also extra credit for attendance.
Very motivational and gives a lot of extra credit
This might be the best prof. you will ever have.
This professor helps students a lot, his method of teaching is easy to understand, and gives lots of extra credit.
Dr. Garcia is a great professor. He cares about your knowledge and your grade! A LOT OF EXTRA CREDIT! However he talks A LOT!
Good teacher but the class wasnt easy.
Good professor, and a lot of opportunities for extra credit, but class is very long.
Easy class and you learn.
Professor Garcia is a great professor who cares deeply for his students. He is a very tough professor, but also very reasonable. He also offers a lot of extra credit.
Awesome professor .. very passionate on what he teaches. Makes sure you understand
Professor Garcia is a great teacher. He gives nonformal assesments that gives extra credit. Just showing up to all the labs you get 30 extra credit points towards the final! But you really need to put on the effort and study the things he tells you. He tells you what exactly to study, and the tests will be easy.
He really cares about his students. Awesome professor, pretty laid back. you'll really enjoy this class. But no makeups at all, power points that are used in class are also online, strongly still recommends going to torturing for those that need extra help. All in all I really would take him again BEST ANATOMY CLASS EVER!!! :D.
Dr. Garcia, is one of the best teachers in Palm Beach State. He's lecture are really easy to understand, he gives you a lot of opportunity to pass his class because he has powerpoints availble and gives a lot of extra credit.
Dr. Garcia is a wonderful professor and really cares about his students. He wants you to not only succeed, but to look at the medical field in a different way. I would definitely take him again.
took him for ap1/2 lab in boca. he's a good responder for emails if you need help and genuinely cares about his students their success. he gives tons of grade inflation (EC) towards midterm & final. you definitely have to work for your grade but its definitely worth it. i recommend him. he knows the answer to every question possible. take him!
Dr Garcia (Professor G) is really an amazing teacher, he cares about his students. First day of class he advised you what to do to succeed, he always encourages and helps the students, he answer all questions. the PowerPoint in very clear and he takes times to explain the material. I will take him for again for A&P II. thanks prof G.
You really have to pay attention, but he is always available to answer any questions. It is easy if you are willing to put in the effort.
This professor is one of the best I've had hands down, and I've had my fair share of professors. He cares and wants you to do well. Perfect attendance gets you 30 extra credit points. He also gives plenty of other extra credit opportunities throughout the semester. Go to class and pay attention, you will be successful.
Dr, Garcia it's a great proffesor! He gives you a learning outcome for the exams if you study and learn everything in the learning outcome you will do extremely well! He is a great. I highly recommend him.
Need a professor with stellar knowledge and lots of experience in the field? Dr. Garcia is your guy ! Helps every single student with genuine care and always gives good examples for better understanding. No reason at all why you should not pass his class specially with all the EXTRA CREDIT opportunities he offers. The BEST professor @ PBSC !
Dr. G is a great professor for AP 1 and 2! Very knowledgeable and wants you to pass.
Dr. Garcia is a caring and passionate Professor. You put in the work and hours that you need to study, and he will make sure you leave the semester satisfied. The opportunities for extra credit are baffling for a College Professor's standing, you will not regret taking him!
Dr Garcia is the best
Dr. G is awesome! I have taken him for A&P 1and 2 labs and have learned so much from him. I definitely recommend taking him! You won't regret it.
Professor Garcia is great professor, everything you need to know is in his learning outcomes that is your quizzes and test basically no surprises just put in the work take time to study and you should get a good grade.
He really cares about his students and wants the best for them. But his classes are hard. He offers entire letter grades of extra credit if you do what he asks.
He is very upfront about his policy. If you follow his directions to a T... you will get an A. However, if you question the syllabus or do something that is his "pet peeve" he will not be happy. Just go to class, study the slides, and do the extra credit. You'll learn a lot and get an A.
Dr. Garcia is a very passionate about what he does and cares greatly about his students. Perfect attendance gets you 30 extra points, but you really have to pay attention and put in the work. He is willing to help and answer any questions because he wants his students to succeed. I would definitely recommend!
good professor but make sure you study
Dr. Garcia was a great professor I took for lab! He goes over the powerpoints in great detail. Hes very clear about his requirements for the class. As long as you work, study, and do all assignments for the class you are sure to pass! He also gives great extra credit!
This professor is very knowledgeable. His expectations are clear. If you study what he says, you will do well in his class.
Professor Garcia is an excellent professor. i love his class i'm definitely recommending my friends to take him.
He is a bit hard but gives a lot of extra credit.
Dr. Garcia really knows his material and wants you to pass. Tons of extra credit, if you pay attention in class, it is almost impossible not to pass.
Dr. Garcia is very passionate in what he teaches. Pay attention to his lectures and take notes if you want to pass his quizzes. Do not take him if you are expecting an easy A. But, take him f you want to learn. He will make you work for every point.
Dr. Garcia is very knowledgeable about Anatomy & Physiology. Remember that this class is not meant to be easy. It's a pre-req for most medical science classes and are not meant to be taken lightly. He Offers a lot of extra credit which helps people in the end but please be serious when taking this class. Do the work, study and you will be fine!
Dr. Garcia really knows what he's talking about. He makes sure you understand throughly. In lab, he really makes sure you GET IN IT, you won't get credit for just sitting on the side. He has an accent but he's really funny.
Lectures are way too long for no reason. Expect to be in class the full amount of time. Fair with grading and clear with what you need to know for tests.
I took him for anatomy & physiology 2 lab. He lectures for majority of the lab and can talk forever. He has a really strong accent so sometimes its hard to understand what he says, or keep up with his lecture. He's really helpful on the dissections though, which was awesome. Any confusion I had he was able to clear up.
Dr. Garcia is very dedicated to teaching. He lectures a lot, but it helps for dissections. You must be hands-on during dissections. He is very helpful throughout the dissections and wants classmates to interact. Extra credit is given. Overall a good professor.
Easy professor. Very straight forward and clear of what he expects. Show up for class, Study and Participate and you will pass
He was the best he's amazing teacher
Great professor! Very inspirational. He is very into participation. Come to class, be ready to work hard! Look at material before class to get a leg up. Gives extra credit opportunities! Anatomy 2 isn't an easy class, but he makes it as easy as possible, and fun!
I took him for lab at the Boca campus. He does know his information and has a strong accent. The quizzes are more like tests, and even though he says not to use the book I found questions from the book on the quiz. You definitely need to study to pass this class. His teaching style isnt the best for me, so I wouldn't take him again.
Very knowledgeable professor I would definitely take him again
Dr. Garcia treats his students fairly and is a really great lecturer. He absolutely doesn't tolerate excuses though, so you do need to work hard to succeed.
What I love about this class are the non-formal assessments given. They help you to be ready for all quizzes. Also the extra credits given goes a long way too.
If you want to pass you must study your butt off!
Great professor. Genuinely wants to see his students succeed and do well. I took him for both A/P1 and 2, earned an A both times. Easy if you study and put a small amount of effort into it.
Great professor, gives lots of information and is truly passionate about teaching. It is beneficial to read before class as it is very easy to get lost, but this is the nature of any A&P class. The only thing to be aware of is if you have a tough time understanding accents, he does have a prominent spanish accent. Overall a great professor!
Dr. Garcia is clear about what you will be expected to know/what you will be tested on. The book is not mandatory but it helped me a lot for studying. He gives a 'quiz' almost every class but it is for extra credit purposes and these ?'s tend to show up on tests! Only challenge is his accent, it wouldnt stop me from taking him again though.
Dr. Garcia is a very knowledgeable professor. He works hard to ensure that his students understand the material and even gives many extra credit opportunities. His Hispanic accent may be hard to understand at times but he really tries to push past that aspect. His lectures are long but very inspirational and insightful. Would definitely take again.
This course is a difficult course no matter what professor you take. I feel like you just need to find a professor that fits your learning method. Mr. Garcia likes to go over all the material in lab to make sure you at least see it once and because of this you can't really study in lab most of the time.
Dr. Garcia is a very caring and respected professor. As long as you pay attention in class and actually apply yourself (by studying the needed material) this lab should not be too difficult. He also gives many opportunities for extra credit.
This class was my very first approach to science in a different language where I came from. I found it stressful and heavy at the begining as I could not understand what he is talking about. However, after couple classes, I found his lecture pretty interesting. He is very caring and understanding. You'll get a 30 extra credit for perfect attendance
Dr Garcia is very helpful and mindful His lessons can feel a bit like lecture class but he shows you exactly what he wants If you put in the work you will get an A There is no easy A but he helps you throughout the whole process Lots of extra credit available Clear on his grading and tests Nice and funny guy over all
A very wise and amazing professor with a lot of extra credit opportunity.
Professor Garcia states from the very first lab what is expected from his students, he gives you learning outcomes which are useful for studying, he jokes around from time to time, but is serious when comes down to it. He will give you extra credit opportunities which are a great benefit to the midterm and final.
He is super nice, just makes you try for your grade! Study a lot!!!
Great professor but gives no breaks even though the class is 2 hours and 45 minutes long
He's a great professor, gives good feedback, offers a lot of extra credit opportunities
As long as you show up to class and study you'll get a good grade
Great professor but get ready to work for an A. Attend every class. You will obtain lots of information after you've taken the class.
Overall he was one of my favorite professor for this semester. Would take again
A little strange... but he is very knowledgeable about the course. Attendance will definitely help, however, it is a lot of work and requires a lot of studying. Sometimes he goes too fast over the topics.
He is a very straightforward and intelligent professor. I would highly recommend. He kinda of gets off topic a lot (mostly life stories and inspirational chats).
Tough grader makes you sit in assign seats make sure you go to ALL lab meetings in order to receive extra credit points
Clear and accurate expectations. Attendance is key. Studying is a must to pass the course.
Great teacher and helps you pass your tests. Just showing up to every class gets you an extra 30 points on your final grade.
He Is The Best Professor Ever You Will Pass The Class He Teaches Evrything He Puts On the Exams
Very hard to understand, can't comprehend him. Heavy accent
Very great professor! Study off of the given learning outcomes and it should be an easy A!
Dr. Garcia is one of the most inspirational professors you'll have. He's definitely on your side when it comes to school. But if you're looking for an easy pass, he won't give it to you. You work for your A. Study is a must!
great professor but if you want to pass you need to study!!!!!!
Dr. Garcia's accent and real-life applications can be sometimes hard to follow but its clear that he loves his job and his students. Plus he gives so much extra credit he makes it almost impossible to fail. Easy class if you want it to be.
Dr. Garcia was a great professor. He is generous on extra credit, gives a clear outline of what you need to study to ace the tests he gives, and he is inspirational
Dr. Garcia is very knowledgable about what he's teaching and he gives a bunch of extra credit to help you pass his class. There are 2 quizzes, each worth 5o points, and the midterm and final which are 100 points each. If you study and pay attention to his lectures, you will pass.
Dr. Garcia is lecture heavy and he will make you work for the grade. He likes talking about life experiences and wants you to learn. grade is based on 2 tests and 2 quizzes. Extra credit for attendance and some pop quizzes that can help final grade. Lots of memorization, spelling ALWAYS counts and everything is important! Overall it was good.
Quizzes are harder than the Exams, he helps you a lot but if u dont put in some work you can do bad in this class.
Professor Garcia normally has a sign-in sheet for the beginning of class and at the end. He gives extra credit towards tests from weekly assessments. The main thing is to come o every class to get the most out of the class itself. He does offer help and allows for you to come to any of his other labs to review models or ask any questions.
Excellent professor! Extremely thorough and knowledgeable. He brings everyday scenarios into the classroom each lecture. Definitely one of the best i have ever had.
I have had Dr. G for 2 semesters now and I have got to say Pure Excellence! Not only is he the top 3 Professors I've every had he is also a very caring Professor with only the best intentions to help each student to be educated and knowledgeable on the AP1 and AP2. The learning outcomes are all you need for him which he provides. TAKE HIM!!!!!!!!!!
Took Dr.G for AP1 Lab and is very clear with his exceptions in order to pass his class. He cares a lot about his students.
Very knowledgeable about his subject and offers a ton of extra credit! As long as you show up and pay attention you'll pass for sure.
Professor Garcia is a very nice person but his lab was very difficult for me. There are only 2 quizzes, a midterm, and a final for a total of 300 points in the class. So if you fail one you struggle to raise your grade. He does give xtra credit quizzes which do help and 30 points for not missing a lab.
He is a great professor and cares a lot about the students. His practicals are hard, however he makes sure that you are prepared for it and tells you exactly what you need to know. He is the best professor I have had in my college career thus far.
Dr. G is a good dude. There aren't a lot of grade in the class and it is a lot of materials so you need to stay on top of things. He does give a lot of extra credit which can really help a bad grade. I would suggest taking him for lab but make sure to stay on top of your studying.
Professor Garcia has an accent but don't let that fool you. Behind that accent is 14 solid years of teaching and he loves his job more than anything else. His lectures relate issues to the real world and he believes and communicates a holistic approach to science.
Dr. Garcia's class is not for the feint of heart , YOU WILL HAVE TO STUDY! He prepares you from the beginning on what you will need to pass his course, so there are no surprises and you will be prepared to pass his course. Also there are tons of extra credit - he there to teach and his goal is to pass you not to fail , I would take him again.
Dr Garcia is one of the most passionate teachers i've had. He loves his job and answers any questions you have. THIS CLASS ISNT AN EASY A, you will need to STUDY STUDY STUDY. You will leave the class actually knowing the material. Tons of extra credit. if you are interested in a career in Medical or Health this teacher is a outstanding choice
Very nice guy who cares about his students success! Very fair!
Dr G is that dude! He cares and you can tell! A three hour class is hard in any subject but he keeps you interested by mixing the literature and his personal experiences! I would definitely take him again!
Look if you have a solid background of science then your fine if not stay away from this man!
Dr. Garcia is a good lecture. His accent is very strong; however he uses a microphone and does try to articulate the best way he can. He is a very approachable and humorous individual. He takes time to motivate and inspire his students. He gives extra credit for attendance and assessments but in order to pass, STUDY HARD!
Dr. Garcia is very carrying and passionate about teaching. He gives alot of extra credit. Be ready to study, grades are earned not given. He make's sure you understand the material given. Not an easy class if you don't have any A&P backgroun.
His a good professor!
He's a great guy who really cares for his students, however his accent can get in the way and it's hard to follow his lectures.
best person ever!!! need to study
he cares a lot about what he does
You will need to study a lot and listen to what the professor tells you to do. You will have opportunities to earn extra credit.
lots of studying!!!!!
Professor Garcia cares about his students and wants everyone to succeed
He gives you everything you need to pass. But the test styles are different then any other test you will take. Spelling matters so take all the time to study the spelling. He offers a bunch of extra credit so pay attention to what goes on in the class or else you will miss out on the points. The textbook isn't needed because he gives you PowerPoint
He is a good teaher but you really have to study if you want to pass the class
difficult class unless you dedicate your life to it
Great professor, you do have to study though.. It is impossible to fail his class. At the end he gives 40 extra credit points. I would highly recommend taking Dr. Garcia Just don't skip his class. And be prepared to stay the full time. You will learn a lot from him.
Great teacher! A little hard to understand at first but he gives a ton of extra credit and if you just show up to all his classes that is immediate 30 extra points on your final. His lectures are better then my lecture class. He loves his students and has us cracking up.

His lectures are better then my lecture class. He loves his students and has us cracking up. I'd take him over again if possible.
I took A&P 1 & 2 Lab with Dr. Garcia and I absolutely love him. Dr. Garcia makes the class interesting and worth coming to class because you actually learn things and he also gives lots of extra credit and gives you chances as well. I highly recommend him if you truly wanna learn something and not just get an easy A. Best Professor I have ever had
He actually knows what he is talking about 2 quizzes 2 exams. Extra credit. You have to really study to actually pass not an easy class.
I have taken A&P 1&2 with Dr. G and I have never been so happy with a professor. He actually knows what he is talking about and keeps you interested throughout the entire lab instead of just blabbering on. He gives incredible extra credit opportunities, so it is basically impossible to fail, unless you don't study. Seriously, take his classes
His stories are inspirational and interesting
He is very knowledgeable, and the dissections are cool
He is a great professor, but he likes to rant every class, every chance he gets. He's really funny and makes jokes about living in America. He gives quizzes for an opportunity to earn EC and perfect attendance is another 30 EC points to your final grade!
Super smart guy, really knows what he's talking about. You will have to study for his test despite there only being 4 all term. Likes to rant every now and then. Beware of his accent, especially with a lot of the anatomical terminology he can sometimes be difficult to understand. Gives extra credit for perfect attendance at the end of the term.
This class is doable, however I feel like his quizzes are more Lecture based than lab based, quizzes test concepts and nothing of what lab is really about. He is very strict and a perfectionist. Overall he is a good professor, but not great.
Amazing professor! Dr. Garcia has a heavy accent, but one will get used to it after a while. He is very inspirational and passionate about what he teaches. The class is fairly easy to pass due to the amount of extra credit he provides. I strongly recommend Dr. Garcia as a professor.
Dr. Garcia genuinely cares about his students passing and being able to give them as many useful tips and tools. He does provide extra credit but you should still study to do well on his tests & quizzes. I would definitely take him for another class if I want to learn a lot.
Hard class, but is very knowledgeable. The extra credit balances the class out.
Professor Garcia is a great teacher, and he makes sure that the students are able to understand the content. His class is not that hard to pass due to all of the extra credit options he provides.
Really smart and is easy if you listen when he speaks
Dr. Garcia is an excellent teacher!! He is an MD and a medical professional educator who knows his stuff! Besides being a great anatomy & physiology teacher, he also provides real life examples & makes it relatable. He offers opportunities for extra credit and gives extra points for attending all of the lab classes. Pay attention and you'll do well
Dr. Garcia is very educated on the topics and knows how to make the lecture interesting. His tests are hard, but not impossible you just have to study and take the time to memorize the work. He tends to be a little cocky and can at times be rude so personally i wouldn't take him again but it all depends on the student.
The class is not that difficult, you just have to study a lot and pay attention. Extra credit opportunities and a lot of great advice.
Dr. Garcia is a good professor. There are several extra credit opportunities.
This professor is amazing, he helps students in and out of class, gives learning outcomes which helps for quizzes and exams, and gives lots of EXTRA CREDIT opportunities.
Good teacher had him for BSC2085L and BSC2086L and he was amazing.
Garcia is a great professor and is well respected. If you pay attention in his class, you will definitely learn.
He likes to give many extra credit opportunities. His powerpoints are amazing and have all of the information. Studying is key.
Great professor. Really knowledgeable
Garcia is an amazing professor his notes are very clear he would answer any question he will go over anything you don't understand he wants you to pass the only way you can fail this class is if you don't pay attention or study you need to put in the effort Easy A
Garcia is amazing I would recommend him I had Garcia for both anatomy physiology one and two he is very knowledgeable on his subjects he is clear although he does have an accent you can understand him perfectly and you will pass this class if you put your effort in you must study for the test in order to fail this class means you put no effort
You have to study because this course is a heavy one, but he is a good teacher.
Dr. G is a great professor. He cares about his student and gives us the information that going to be on his tests/exams. Follow is every foot step and you will do just fine.
Dr Garcia is an excellent teacher! He cares about he's students and want them to do well. He offers so many ways that you can get extra credit in his class. The class is very hard you have to study a lot and pay attention in class,He does his best to explain the lab and answer any questions you have.
He is great!!
Great teacher, gives us what is going to be on the exam. Knows his stuff
Great professor!!! Helped me stay on track and study throughout the course
He is a very solid professor and he'll give you multiple opportunities to work hard towards an A!
A&P2 isn't an easy course so if you want a teacher that practically feeds it to you he's not the one but, if you want one that genuinely cares about you understanding what he's teaching pick him. Yes, he has accent but it's easy to understand him. 2 quizzes midterm and final. Study ! That's how you pass. Spelling is super important
He has a strong accent but goes straight to teaching. He respects everybody and everyone gets the same opportunity to pass his class. You have to dedicate time to this class because there is a lot of info and the semester is too short for it.
Dr. Garcia is great. However, he will make you work for your grade! No handouts, you have to really pay attention, & most importantly study and manage your time. He is an amazing professor & you learn a lot with him, but this class is no joke. I wanted to quit sometimes but it'll be worth it in the end.
He's a great Professor... lots of extra credit, the one thing i struggled with is he's accents but after that he's a good Professor.
he's a tough grader but he gives extra credit. at times it can be hard to follow along with what he's saying because he uses a combination of words and sign language to communicate. he's a good professor but your grade in this class will be based on your effort.
As long as you put in the effort to study, easy A. He gives ton of extra credit.
Great, knowledgable professor. Cares about students, and teaching the material so that they understand.
Dr. Garcia is amazing but be ready to read and study. I'll take the class again if I had too.
He's an amazing teaching , you just have to study wè in college right
You have to actually put in work for your grade.
Great teacher he know what he is talking about, care for his students and give extra credit through pop quiz. Attend gives you points as well. You have to practice and study hard, he is a great teacher and connects class things to real life situations.
Dr. Garcia is passionate about his students and this class. He uses powerpoints to guide you through each class that are accessible through his PBSC faculty page. He allows plenty of opportunity for extra credit. Pay attention and study it will come in handy for those "informal assessments" that he grades for extra credit! Choose Dr. Garcia!
Good Professor,would recommend.
I know when you want something you must work hard for it. This is college nothing comes easy. This Professor he makes it impossible to pass. Don't fall for the other people that's posting that this class is awesome.. That's a lie . One of the worst Professors I have ever had. On top of that he has a thick accent. Run don't walk Run.
If you are working a fulltime job and you have a family. DON'T take this professor. This class requires A LOT of studying. For the lab he wants you to spell all of the words correctly. He makes it impossible to pass. If you already registered go back and drop his class. That would be the best thing you could ever do for yourself.
the worst teacher at pbsc.
I took Dr. Garcia for 2085L/2086L. He is an awesome professor. This is not an easy class but if you study you will get an A. I recommend him to everyone.
Dr. Garcia makes learning Anatomy II lab much easier than any other professor I've met. I took the course in the Summer A express term. Even though there was a lot of material at a very quick pace, Dr. Garcia is able to explain the information in an easy, understandable way. If I needed to take another lab again I would definitely choose him.
Professor Garcia truly cares about his students and wants to see them succeed. He gives lots of extra credit opportunities on top of the 2 quizzes and 2 exams. Great professor! I would take him again.
Good professor would take again.
Great teacher. Gives extra credit and everything he says is on the test no need for books.
Dr. Garcia cares about his students, he teaches you the information you need for life long career.
Dr. Garcia is an awesome professor, his power points have everything you need. I barely used my lab manual
Good job professor
The teacher explain really well all the topic through the labs lecture, give a lot of opportunities to get extra credits and help you if you have any question from the lecture
Professor gives a lot of extra credit opportunities, his classes are fun and he explains the topics very well. No textbook needed. He might come up in the beginning as very tought(i felt intimidated at first, lol), but he is nothing like it. Take him. Just study for the quizes and tests
Good professor! Give extra credit! Could recommend
Fr. Garcia is the best professor as Lon as you study what he gives you to study you will pass the class with flying colors.
Dr. Garcia his a really nice guy, I really enjoy taking his class, you can tell that he enjoys what he does and he is very knowledgeable, he's a super terrific teacher, I learned a lot from his class. Don't be afraid to take his class, he can be a little tough but he gives you lots of chance for an A.
Amazing professor and he take the time to explain the material well. I will take him again
He is very knowledgeable and passionate about education and medicine
Great professor very knowledgeable and passionate about education and the medical field. He Actually wants you to learn.
One of the best anatomy lab professors at Palm Beach state lake worth campus. Has an accent but super caring about the subject and his students. No mandatory homework but its anatomy so studying is a must. Gives out more than enough extra credit especially in the summer semester. Definitely a must take for anatomy.
Thanks to Dr. Garcia I can say that understand and learned the class, he explained everything and is open to questions, I definitely recommend Dr. Garcia, he knows a lot... I wish my class was longer. If you want to learn lots of stuff take him.
Dr. Garcia is incredibly knowledgeable and can clearly explain topics and questions asked. He is always available for help. He loves what he teaches, and does a great job at teaching.
Best teacher I ever took . Took this class already but failed it took it with him now I have a B take him you won't regret it
He's really passionate about this field and it's great to hear all the information he has to share on the subject matter!
Wonderful Professor! Teaches mostly about bettering yourself and at the same time showing you how to use the things that you learn in class into your own life. Very passionate. (Lots of extra credit)
great teacher but difficult to understand and has a super strong accent.
Great teacher, cares about his students. He teaches with real world examples and refers to the textbook quite often
Dr Garcia is an outstanding professor. He is clear and objective. He used to create teal life scenarios with his explanations in order to kake easier the content for the students. I am a English speaker and his english is really good. Amazing educator.
knowledgeable, excellent professional , well informed, lectures with a deep explanatory and scientific background. He has been the best professor in my entire life . Thanks Dr.G. for being this educator who help your students to achieve the academic and professional goals in the medical field.
It has been upwards of a few years since I have been in his class, and I can still safely say that he is one of the best teachers I have ever met. Even though this class was only a preprerequisite to my program, the knowledge is still fresh in my head, as his lectures were something to be mirrored by other teachers! Five stars all the way!
I highly recommend you taking his course. Awesome teacher, very educated. To pass his class of course you have to do your part and study just like any other course but, he helps you out with extra credit especially on midterm and final exam.
Very instructive professor and is super caring for his students. He will always try his best to make sure you pass his class.
Excellent Professor always supporting his students giving then confidence and always motivating you to follow your dreams and never give up on them. Thanks You Dr. Garcia
You HAVE TO STUDY! Give yourself 1 or 2 hours a day studying previous information you learned last class. This Anatomy Lab Midterm and Final is based on spelling the words out correctly! Mr. Garcia is the best professor! he motivates and encourages you to do well. Also take advantage of the extra credit! Take my words seriously!
You really have to study to pass this class, you can not slack. just like any other class. I would not recommend taking this class if you have a hard time keeping up in classes like this. It is hard to understand him due to his accent but i have had classmates that understood him. And also take advantage of his extra credit opportunities.
He does a extra credit assessment which you have to study his PowerPoint and spelling counts. Study and learn how to spell because if you spell something wrong he take those points. Overall he's really a good teacher .
The professor is fair. Took A&P 1 and 2 with this professor. The material is dense. He tries the best to give examples and does great to answer all your questions. Gives many extra credit opportunities. If you try and attend all classes you will get an A.
Study when he saids to study. Take advantage of extra credit quizzes, they help towards midterm and final.
He is one of the most inspirational professors I have ever had. Perfect attendance will help you a lot for the finals. His lectures are a bit boring, but he will grab your attention with his corny jokes that you can actually relate with. His powerpoints are the best tools to pass the class and lots of extra credit.
Dr Garcia is an excellent Professor ! He cares about he's students and want them to do well. He offers so many ways that you can get extra credit in his class. Excellent Professor always supporting his students giving then confidence and always motivating you to follow your dreams and never give up on them. Thank you Dr. Garcia.
Dr. García makes it clear what you need to know because of his learning outcomes, which gives the students no excuse but to get a good grade on the exam. Also, he gives lots of extra credit opportunities. The only problem is that he has an accent that is difficult to understand and doesnt always word things correctly.
Dr. Garcia is an amazing professor. 2 quizzes + 2 tests your grade. He gives extra credit for perfect attendance, and for informal assessments (a recap of what you learned in the previous class). Make sure you study every day! Especially before class. His class isn't an easy A, you have to work hard, but its worth it in the end. Be ready to learn!
Professor G is an amazing teacher. He is very kind and understanding however he wont give you an A unless you work hard for it. You have to study a lot. The grade is completely based on tests with a decent amount of extra credit. He definitely knows what hes talking about.
Good Professor but have to study hard to pass the class.
Dr.G intentions is to push you to succeed. He is a great professor and explains everything in detail. Also gives you plenty of chance to receive extra credit. You MUST work for a good grade if not you wont stand a chance to pass.
This professor offers a lot of extra credit. He tries to motivate his students to do well in his class. Study hard and you will succeed!
This class is not an easy A, but if you study the learning outcomes you should be able to pass
Dr. Garcia offers a lot of extra credit opportunities. Get ready to dedicate time to studying if you do not have prior knowledge of Anatomy and Physiology.
This professor tries to motivate his class and makes speeches about everything. Still, he gives a lot of extra credit and if you study actively, you'll be fine.
Professor Garcia is very Knowledgeable and a great guy. he gives lots of extra credit so as long as you do your part you should have no problem passing.
Dr. Garcia really cares about his students exceeding and emphasizes on how hard work pays off. He provides great extra credit options and tests right from his power point notes. You really have to read them at home because he does not touch on them much in class. Go to every class and study for every quiz/test (spelling counts) and you'll get an A.
Attendance is extra credit. Every week theres an informal assessment that counts as extra credit & is based on the lesson from last class. His accent is strong & hard to understand. He lectures for the full time only for me to go home & teach myself. If you study like he says, you will pass, no doubt about it. But it is A LOT to study.
Only four grades. Thick accent, can barely understand him. Honestly need to study to be able to past because of his accent he really doesn't teach very well. A lot of extra credit because he know everyone will fail without it. Take at your own risk.
Cool guy but be ready to study hard.
IF YOU DONT STUDY YOU WILL FAIL. IF YOU WANT THIS CLASS FOR DUAL ENROLLMENT AND ITS NOT SUMMER TERM DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS
Weekly chances for extra credit. Tests are hard. STUDY. STUDY. STUDY.
This class is not easy if you study you will pass also this professor give lots of extra credit opportunities
I enjoy his class because he is a good teacher.
He was a great professor. I learned the material easily with his learning outcomes. Plus he gives lots of extra credit opportunities.
Great professor but remember that it's up to you to.
Apply yourself it isn't an easy class. Be prepared to study a lot
Doctor Garcia is a great professor, if youre okay with a professor having a thick Latin accent but knows his tuff then hes your guy. His teaching methods are great and the class assessments really help as they motivate students to study in order to do well in them to receive the extra credit points.
Definitely have to pay attention and study or its extremely difficult to pass.
Work hard or you wont pass
Very hard class
Hes a great teacher tough accent, but he genuinely cares, and gives you a lot of chances!... If youve never taken AP before this class will be hard especially if your low on time!.
His class is not difficult unless you skip a class ,aren't paying attention or aren't studying. Does have an ascent but can pass by it. Great professor and highly motivated on his students each day of class! I would take him again.
Great teacher but heavy accent , makes it hard to understand materials.
He gives a lot of extra credit. There's an assessment every week but he used them as extra credit. If you don't miss any class you get 30 points extra credits. He is very inspiring and gives a lot of advises.
Hes very nice and understanding. Just make sure to study.
There are weekly quizzes, which will count for extra credits; therefore as a student you'll have to make the time to study for his class. Although, attendance is not mandatory, yet if a student has perfect attendance - such student will be able to earn 30 points toward the end of the semester.
Dr García, is a great professor. He cares about his students. You will have to study for his class.
DrGarcia provides many extra credit opportunities and the PowerPoint slides are available online. Also he states all the sections that will be on the test and quizzes It's very important to take notes in class. With all this it's very possible to achieve a good grade in his class.
Dr Garcia is a great proffesor he is very knowledgable on anatomy because he was an actual doctor in Colombia. the class is not hard but you need to study like in every other anatomy class because the subject requires studying so we have to suck it up and do it. He gives a lot of extra credit opportunities towards the midterm and towards the final.
Make sure you attend every class he does pop quizzes for extra credit on some days and also you get some extra credit for perfect attendance which will be helpful because it is a hard course.
Dr. Garcia Is a good teacher. You can have an A in the class if you come to class and understand his lecture. His test come straight from his notes.
Dr. Garcia is a caring, hard working professor who cares about his students and want them to succeed. What I like are the environment of the class, the respect the professor and the students have for each other, best of all the extra credit for perfect attendance. Thanks Dr. Garcia I have learned a lot from your class.
Very clear on his expectations. Opportunity for extra credit will greatly help you during the exams as they are tough (just like any other lab practical).
Enjoyed being in his class. Clearly explained what to expect on upcoming quizzes and exams, and offers extra credit points. Overall positive and optimistic professor.
Very passionate about teaching. He shows that he loves to teach and is very knowledgeable. Would recommend!!1
Dr Garcia is very passionate about teaching and his students. He is very organized and his lectures are always on point. l fully recommend taking his classes
Love Dr. Garcia even though he is SO HARD. If you are willing to show up and study hard TAKE HIM. If you want an easy class this is NOT IT!!!!!!
Lecture heavy, but he clearly states whats gonna be on the test. Answers all questions, makes sure to go around helping everyone.
Dr Garcia was very forward with what was going to happen throughout the semester. He offers a ton of extra credit and grades fairly. Spelling counts!
Hes great, just put in the effort to study and youll pass.
Great professor but you have to work for it. You have two test and two exam and if you study you will do great. Plus he gives you opportunities for extra credit. Very fair professor.
Helps when you have questions. Gives chances for extra credit. You dont really need the book for this class. Hell tell you a lot of real life experiences to go along with his lectures.

Professor Garcia is an amazing teacher . Abide by his learning outcomes and don't miss a class and you will easily get an A!!!
Dr Garcia explains concepts very well and makes it easy to understand. Gives extra credit, he really wants you to succeed.
Dr Garcia is the best and coolest professor ever
I learned more about anatomy in this class than i did in my lecture. Dr. Garcia provides more than enough extra credit. Dont be intimidated by the complexity of anatomy 2, he simplifies it and makes it easy. If you don't pull off an A then you didn't try. I took this class with five other classes (6 total) and still ended up with an A.
He is a great profesor, Pay attention in his class and you will pass
Come to class every day gives extra credit for that. Give a lot of extra credit through out the course
great professor very helpful and cares about your grades
Great professor. His PowerPoints are very helpful
he is a great professor, he gives a lot of extra credits and made sure to come to class everyday you will get 30 extra credit for perfect attendance. I highly recommend him
Garcia was a great professor very kind and knowledgeable. He has a strong accent so that was overbearing at times. You must study. His class is tough, but if you stay on top of it you can definitely pass. Prepare not to miss any class cause he gives tons of ec for that.
Dr. Garcia is a great teacher! Would recommend anyone to take his class, he is passionate about what he teaches. He cares about you learning the content. He is one of the best professors on campus and I would take a class with him again if needed to.
Great teacher really cares about the students
Goes off topic quite a bit
awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Professor Garcia is a great teacher, he really cares for his students and does everything to help them pass his class. Make sure to attend every class, he give major extra credit for attendance. His accent makes it a little difficult to understand but if you follow along with his PowerPoints youll be fine. Overall, hes really nice and intelligent
Easy to pass his class, his accent isnt so bothersome, he gives really great notes.
He is a great professor. He will work with you. He really cares about his students.
As a international student, i would highly recommend you professor jairo. Api and Ap2 is not easy and u have to do work to understand anatomy. great professor . would take again
Such a great class that you learn a lot in. Be prepared however because he does go off tangent often.
Inspirational and motivational teacher. 2 quizzes, midterm and final in the entire course. Study a lot
Garcia is very passionate in what he does. He teaches very well and wants to make sure you succeed and understand everything. This is not an easy class, be prepared to study every day. He makes you work for your grade but if you pay attention, follow his lab PowerPoints and his learning outcomes you will do fine. I definitely recommend him!
Dr Garcia creates a comfortable atmosphere, and tells significant stories to help you remember certain concepts and material. He is also great at teaching life lessons and incorporating them into his lectures. This course definitely is not easy, and you have to work very hard for the grades but he covers every bit of what is tested.
Do your work and pay attention and your good.
Very passionate teacher. Not the easiest class but you will enjoy it. Don't buy the lab manaul
Good professor and good classes. His quizzes before class allows for points towards your midterm or final for however many you get right. Study his powerpoints and you won't be steered wrong and listen to him.
You just need to study the material and information that he presents to you during the power points slides.
Overall great professor!
He's a great teacher! He gives you lots of opportunities for extra credit. Just study.
Great professor, very informative. Walked around and helped with any questions. Took his time, went with student pace.
Excelent professor!!! With his explanations you can really understand the material and youre able to remember it after the test.
He is a very good professor
VERY THICK ACCENT. Its hard to understand honesty. He has PowerPoint's online to print (50-ish pages each) but he is passionate about A&P. You gotta sign in and out in (but you have to attend the whole classorder to get extra points. He some times goes a little overboard with the time conversations outside of the lecture's topic.. but he's good
Dr. Garcia is an awesome professor. He is extremely knowledgeable and is willing to answer any question you have. He is very straight forward on what he expects from you as well as what he will have on his quizzes/tests. His labs consists of his owns PowerPoint's and hands on. He gives TONS of extra credit opportunities but you have to show up!
Not happy at all. Seems focused on his rating here. Very strange Professor. Definitely, not happy with this experience.
RUN FOR THE HILLS!!! He spends two-thirds of the class giving life lessons that you do not care about. If you want to make Anatomy 2 harder than it has to be then he is perfect for you. I learned more on youtube than I did in his class. TRUST ME AND DO NOT TAKE!!!!!!
Dr. Garcia has been an excellent and knowledgeable professor. I have learned the core of Anatomy and Physiology. Thanks Dr.G
This Professor is the best have ever had in my College career. I highly recommend this MD toward your personal academic goals. If anyone dislike him is because failed his courses
knowledgeable and high level of expertise in the medical field
Hes a creep! He also has a very thick accent. He is extremely hard and acts as if you are already in med school. I had to drop him last semester because I was failing. Re-took this class this semester and am passing with an "A" . I honestly don't know how he has such good reviews, he defiantly prides himself for them too.
Avoid this class at all cost! He has a very thick accent and if unwilling to repeat himself without an attitude or making you feel inadequate. He was very fast pace and made an already difficult class impossible. We started with 30 students and end with the lucky 8 he called us. PLEASE SAVE YOUR TIME AND SANITY. AVOID HIM
Is there an award for best tooting of one's own horn? If so, this guy gets it. He talks about himself so much it is shocking. His lectures were not very good and left me having to learn the material on my own. I am a 4.0 student and for the first time didn't know if I would pass. He gets VERY inappropriate with female students, I personally saw it.
No specific study guide, just memorize basically EVERYTHING he lectured on in class. DO NOT PROCRASTINATE ON STUDYING. YOU WILL FAIL. Gets off topic during lectures. Grades are based on tests. Quizzes ONLY count as extra credit toward your final if you score one of the highest scores. No patience, moves quick, expects doctors as students.
I highly recommend Dr. Garcia. He was my A&P professor at PBSC during one full year and his professional skills and professionalism inspired me to follow the medical path as a future nurse. Definitely, do not hesitate to take him anytime. Do not pay attention to any student who felt frustrated because of did not take advantage of him.
Hilarious!!! Dr. Garcia has been the only professor who allows me to be motivated toward my professional medical field. He always cares about his students; in addition, his proactive teaching methods and wisdom help me to raise the academic bar.
I did request to Dr Garcia to help us with study group sections during the full semester starting medical academic field. He has been my top academic level instructor . His experience and professionalism kept me always on track. His respectfullness is a plus.
I am a student in the Nursing program currently. Having difficulty to learn patho physiology process. However, my former professor Dr. Garcia has been my savior to allow me understand the topics and recall the basic knowledge of A&P. He is a wise and talent professor so I do not hesitate to recommend him anytime needed. Excellent!!
I am a Dr. Garcia AP1 former student from 2017. I am taking AP2 with other instructors and having many problems to understand some topics. I did request Dr. Garcia to tutor me and it has been outstanding my grade has changed. Solid "A" is the result of assignments and evaluation. Sincerely , this professor is a leader and inspirational.
As a former Dr. Garcia A&P I & II student. I do have to emphasize his high level commitment with education purposes and awesome caring values toward his students' perspectives in the med professional field. My experience was amazing due to the multiples teaching strategies this instructor apply during labs . Sincerely... Excellent!!!
I have been a student for one full year 2017; in addition, attending six months of tutoring with him during the last semester. He is a wise and knowledgeable professor!! Dr Garcia has inspired me to become a Medical doctor in my upcoming academic future. I have never had any professor like him in my entire life!!Awesome!!
