I have taken three classes with Mr. Bittar and I enjoy how his online classes are run. He is very organized and you know exactly what is expected of you. However, he does not accept late assignments at all and he is not very involved with the class, no discussion board postings. Kind of feels like you are taking a class only with the computer.

I really enjoyed Professor Bittar's class. Even though the material can be dry at times, he makes it interesting, and occasionally takes time out of class to joke about life. Aside from teaching the material, he includes excess information that will be helpful to know in the future. His exams are easy if you read--he does not try to trick you.

he's really not that bad of a professor. he gets realllly irritated at cell phone usage and I feel like he wastes a little too much time ranting about that. He gives a lot of hints as to what will be on the tests and has some helpful pointers to remember information. Just study the study guide and read and you should be fine.

Indeed, this guy is crazy smart and has great knowledge and knows how to lay it out for the students. I had no problems in his class but of course you have to study, no professor will give you grades for free, it's college not kindergarten.

I had this professor for Anatomy 2 and he is a good teacher, but he goes on tangents every day about cell phones, and lectures us like were little kids. Even if we did nothing wrong he will bring it up. It's a hard class but that's because the material is complex, but he does a great professor overall.

He is one of the best professors--it's a shame that some students don't appreciate him. He is tough but well worth it. If you just want to do the bare minimum in his course and have an off-handed familiarity with the material, then I guess he's not for you.

Dr. Bittar is an amazing man! He comes off very intimidating at first but you get used to him and grow to love him and his teaching style! You have to work hard for your grade and STUDY your notes!! He literally give you test questions and and answers. Even gives a study guide for the final. Only bad thing is he do not curve or round your grade.

KINE2560 is fairly easy, but exams are the only grades. He gives you about 35/50 multiple choice questions in class to help you out, so definitely go. His lecture notes are made in word, and the only thing not in the notes are the diagrams, so you need the book for those which is annoying. No phones/computer, so be ready to take paper notes.

You're pretty limited on who you can take for A&P 1, so Jamal is probably you're only option.

Prof. Bittar does not take attendance for POINTS but takes attendance in each class. NO ELECTRONICS ALLOWED IN CLASS except an iPad to write hand notes. (Seriously no phone use or he will call you out.) Only have 5 exams (including the final) and 5 quizzes the whole semester. If you go to class he will give you a lot of test answers.

TAKE THIS PROF FOR A&P!!! THIS IS YOUR SIGN! Lectures: mostly boring, too many slides, and will use the FULL amount of time to lecture. But all exam answers are on Quizlet. Take that info as you wish. Very sacarstic but kinda funny. Good guy. Wants students to try so that's why some people might think he's rude but he's just spitting facts.TAKE HIM

Took for both A&P 1 and 2, easiest professor. Attendance only taken for first two weeks then after that very rarely. Only graded by exams and quizzes, which are easy but on lockdown with no webcam or microphone. Funny professor but takes the entire hour and twenty to lecture. Passed both classes with A and only went three times :)

Jamal Bittar is a very respectable and fair professor who was always very helpful. He would try to make lectures interesting by comparing the topics to day-to-day life and liked to make funny jokes here and there. He does not tolerate tardiness or any disruptions in his class so be prepared to focus up. All quizzes and tests were online.

Professor Bittar brings a fun, engaging teaching style to this course. While the material can be dry at times, his jokes and real-world examples make it more interesting. To succeed, attend class, read the textbook, and utilize helpful study tools like Unstuck ai. An overall solid choice for an anatomy credit.

He is a good professor, and knows a lot about anatomy. The lectures got boring at times but he tried to relate it to real life things and gave good examples. The class was based on exams and quizzes only which were online & lockdown browser with no webcam. It's an easy class if you take notes and pay attention.

Professor Bittar knows anatomy forwards and back. Took him online for anatomy 1 and he's pretty hands off for that (no lectures posted, only the PowerPoint slides), but I took anatomy 2 in person. His lectures get boring but try your best to pay attention and understand what he's saying. He talks fast so a lot is packed into each lecture.

Jamal is a great professor! It is encouraging seeing how much information he knows about Anatomy. He wants his students to succeed, so I would say that is why his standards are high. Do not be late to class, do not interrupt, and do not cheat. He will call you out!! All quizzes and exams are online with lockdown browser but no webcam or mic.

The entire course was a link to a book, weekly quizzes and exams. There were no lectures, just some included slideshows with nothing to go with them. It felt as though there was little to no effort from the teaching perspective. As an online course it was 100% on the students to teach themself. Very frustrating.

The course content was well organized and easy to follow. All quizzes and exams questions came directly from the lecture slides. Also, the Connect assignments provided valuable practice and reinforced the concepts. Overall, the course was easy and very worth taking.

His courses are among the easiest in the exercise science department at UT. His classes usually follow a similar grading format, with five exams and five quizzes. The assessments are fair and straightforward, with many questions coming directly from the lecture slides. I was able to earn an A in his classes without needing to study extensively.

I absolutely LOVED Professor Bittar. He is strict about classroom etiquette and will randomly ask students questions, but his lectures are amazing. He is incredibly knowledgeable about everything that he is talking about and is very entertaining. It was to the point that I was writing down a "quote of the day" because they are so out of pocket.
