He is worst teacher I have ever had. He goes too fast for all the information we need to learn. Doesn't like to be bothered with questions that sidetrack him from his goal of a chapter a week with memorization of all the bones of the body within 2 weeks and then 2 weeks for all the muscles. He also has a severe case of OCD. Terrible, nasty teacher.

He is hands down the BEST A&P professor at CF. His class was difficult; you truly have to understand the material & work hard. He will help you!! Study, seek tutoring, and/or meet with him. He gives tons of extra credit and will help you every step of the way. Hes VERY passionate and caring. Id take his class again in a heart beat. Hes the best!

Dr. Fakhoury was the best professor I've ever had in all my science classes prior to my nursing program. He is easy to talk to and always willing to help the students who are eager to learn to improve their knowledge. When he teaches he go outside the box to make students understand the topic.

One of the best teachers I've had at this school. Definitely not one you want to take if you want to slack off and not do any work. If you want to learn, and actually learn(drill information in your head learning), take Dr.J. He will ensure that you learn everything about Anatomy and Physiology.

All around a great prof. He offers extra credit for the semester & usually for the tests. Hes a strict grader & serious about attendance. If you dont go to class you probably wont pass. Ive taken three of his different classes & labs, theres a reason his classes fill up quick, he gives you every thing you need to pass his exams.

I was a bit apprehensive towards him at first, but was so thankful for him towards the end of the semester. I had him for A&P 2, which is a tough class, there's no way around that, but he taught so well and I felt understood that it was a rough class. He tried to make it as easy on us as he could. Tests aren't heavily weighted either!

If you're lazy and if you think you can just get by without reading, studying, or showing up to his lectures, don't take his class. He is tough, but you will learn. He gives a lot of homework, but it's to your benefit to learning the material. He may seem unfair, but it's quite the opposite. He cares deeply for his students. The best Prof. there is

Brilliant professor, great for students who already know about the subject and or is a fast learner. Wouldnt recommend if you are a bad test taker or need it to be slower paced. Keys to passing is memorization and use tutoring and you can.

Dr. J is a teacher that is worth taking. If you actually want to learn and advance your education on human anatomy, then I recommend taking him. If youre looking for a easy way to get the credit then dont waste your time. If youre going to pay $400 for a class, might as well learn the material. Highly recommend him if youre going into nursing.

Dr. J is very nice, but I don't think his class is very fair. Midterm was 200 points and final was 400 points, both are all fill in the blank (so they're pretty hard). Lots of homework. 2-4 online assignments due in lecture a week and in lab 2-3 online assignments and 2-3 book assignments due a week. Do your homework and it'll keep your grade up.

After reading the reviews below I was even more anxious to take this class. However, to my surprise it was not that bad at all. Yes, you will have homework due promptly at 8am weekly, you must STUDY, BUT he gives you extra credit on tests and is helpful! If you show him effort he will meet you 80% of the way. Gives great reviews before test day!

This was one of the hardest classes I've taken so far, but Dr. J has made anatomy easier for me to actually understand what we are learning. Just make absolutely sure you study for every class. He'll help you out as long as you ask him. For extra help, utilize the open labs and tutoring center. I think Dr. J was awesome, and I think you will too!

Dr. J is a great professor. You will learn more than you thought you could. Studying is a necessity and you will not pass if you do not show up. He wants the best for each of his students. It is for sure a tough class but you will learn a lot. Take advantage of the open labs and office hours to speak with him about anything you don't understand.

Dr. Fakhoury was great!! His class was definitely challenging to take especially during the summer, but he does his part in teaching and the rest is up to you. Going to the open labs is a crucial to learning the bones and muscles!! I highly recommend taking his class!!

I took both lecture and lab with Dr. Fakhoury and I'm glad I did! I've learned so much in such a short period of time and I would do it again!! He encourages you to study, record him, go to the open labs, to utilize your sources wisely and he's right. You get what you put into this class!! He's a GREAT and VERY smart professor!!

I highly do not recommend you taking this professor. He makes his class way harder than its supposed to be. Especially for lab. Expect to do a ton of homework each week. He also moves at a very fast pace, so it is very hard to retain all of the information.
