good teacher, really there to help you do well in the class. Tests and quizes are fair, you just have to study.
class was very interesting. plenty of chances for extra credit on exams. exams are very straight forward. very helpful as you'll finfd him in the tutoring center. make material very understanding and very clear. I would reccommend him to any student
EH. hes alright. tests arent too bad but sometimes he prides himself on wanting things to be harder. THINKS hes funny-negative. very annoying about cell phones, asking a student a question, and be late.
Real cool teacher. He's young so he makes it interesting and understands we have lives not strict with lateness or absences at all just show that you care. Gives take home quizzes (very easy & straight forward), I would definitely recommend him to other students. Great Teacher, RCC needs more like him!!! (:
great class
Cool and young professor! He is happy to help students. This course is easy if you stay on the top of it ... study for weekly quizess and you will be fine.
I had Mr. R for human sexuality, honestly his age showed. As a person hes really cool but hes not the best teacher. Our class discussions were always got off topic but all in all the class was easy. His tests were always straight forward, you were pretty much guaranteed an A if you studied. I'd take a class with him again.
Absolutely worthless "professor". He consistently passes incorrect information during lectures . . . when he actually manages to stay on topic. Discusses inappropriate subjects with underage students (drinking games) in the middle of class. Incredibly immature. Poor teaching skills. Avoid if you intend to pursue a science based degree.
makes class fun, however he purposely tries to trick you on lab quizzes and practicals. Doesn't specify any information on exams, and looks to make things harder then necessary, however if you pay attention you will do well.
great professor! i recommend him to everyone. as long as you study you should do well he's very fair. class is also a very relaxed and fun setting.
Prof Rodriguez is a young and fun teacher. It shows he hasnt taught long and he does wander off alot but he is very enthusiastic and teaches the subject well. Stay on top of your work because he will not go out of his way to help you!
Overall, he was a good teacher. He knows his material and makes learning easy. His lack of experience shows and frequently wanders off topic which is really annoying. If you work hard, you will do well in his class.
Prof. R!!! He was SOOO funny, we would always joke around in class. He's very informative and extremely helpful! WARNING: If you ever decide to tell him that he tested you on something that he didn't go over in class, it can get pretty ugly in there so watch what you say, BUT other than that he's AMAZING! I HIGHLY recommend him!
great teacher. I took him for lab this semester. you must study hard but its not tricky. if you study you will know it. students come out knowing the material very well. he explains things and has pix of all models on his website which is very helpful for studying. I'm still hoping to take him for A&P2.
Very good teacher. He definitely will go out of his way to help you. Especially if you show that you are really trying. Very organized and clear on the material. The class is hard so you need to constantly study, to do well. Mr. R has lots of tools (his website) to help you out.
An excellent teacher. Kept things flowing with his slides and humor which helps after working a long day and then having to sit in a class for 3 hrs. His teaching style I would discribe as multisensory. Very helpfull for those of us who learn better that way. His test are hard but if u study hard u can pass them. Opportunities given 4 extra credit
He is a great teacher. He is very helpful when it comes to staying after class or setting up office hours with you. His is not a easy teacher. But if you study you will pass. He will keep you interested in he lecture with multiple jokes. I would take his class again for A&P II
I had him for A & P I; Summer I. He's a very helpful professor; very fun. He tries his best to ensure that his students understand. He also has a website to help aid in studying. His tests aren't really that challenging as long as you study. I would definitely recommend him to other students. He's also pretty young, so class is never really boring.
The best professor i have ever had! He is a young guy, professional, and VERY helpful. This was definitely not an easy class but as long as you do your best in participation, he will go the extra steps in assuring you success. His website was also a GREAT help. Check it out at www.helpmemrr.com
Mr. Rodriguez was an amazing teacher. Never before have I had a science teacher (or any teacher) who was as enthusiastic about teaching as he was. I learned so much from his class. I had him for A&P 1, lecture and lab. He makes things a little easier by giving you ways to remember certain things. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
rod is the best teacher. he keeps his class fun and interesting. he is so funny and always keeps you laughing throughout his class. take him, you wont have anyone better!
with this teacher u have to make sure u read ur text book before coming to class. he makes u study. don't depend on his guided notes, make sure u read ur text book, remember "guided note" .
Young and Enthusiastic. Gives you guided notes & website for reference. Textbook & Lab book a waste of $ BUT excellent for Reviewing. Gets a lot of questions from Pearson Site. Wonderful teacher, adorable, and friendly. No extra credit. STUDY like fool & you'll be fine. Hello, this is ANATOMY people! The SUBJECT is hard!
Amazing teacher, makes the class fly by, makes it fun, and you learn so much. The best professor I have ever had!!
Professor Rodriguez is such a great instructor for both lab and lecture. His notes are helpful, he's helpful, and he really wants his students to learn. He's also really young...and really hot, lol. Take him to better understand the subject, to have a professor who is helpful, and for the eye-candy!
The teacher I have been waiting for at RCC. One who LOVES teaching(his job)and it shows! He knows the stuff and gives VERY helpful anecdotes to help you remember things. AP2 is difficult in general.. but have no fear! Professor R is here! 110% recommend. Plus hes good looking! I LOVED going to class!
I had a great time in A&P II lab! He had a great way of explaining things, plus his website was very helpful. Quizzes were hard because I wasn't always exactly sure what would be on them, but practicals were strictly structure.
Great professor, but a hard class. He makes the class fun. He will sometimes give you a break as long as you do not give him a hard time. Do not be afraid to ask for help from him.
Well, 1st off he lied to us about whats going to be on the quiz, He isnt very helpful to let you know what they are going to be on. His mid semester reviews are great. He claims says he posts our grades on engrade.com but hasnt keptup with it since the beginning of the semester. He Slacks off as a teacher. I should have taken Kingseed again4 A&PII
Extremely hard practicals!! He asks for way to much to remember in a short period of time, a lot of things on study power point were missing. I was completely blind sided by the his lab exams. He PURPOSELY asks trick questions on exams or quizzes. He gives no extra credit, no make up quizzes, and does not give partial credit on anything!
Good teacher, goes out of his way to help students if asked. Knows his material well and explains it clearly with a little imagination thrown in which is appreciated. Quizzes need to be studied for comprehensively and devote twice the effort toward the 2 practicals, especially the last. Needs to update engrade more timely but would recommend!
Great lecturer, but his tests do not reflect what he goes over in class. Only way to get an A in this class is to study hard from the book and doing a good project. Does not drop the lowest grade, so you have to make a bigger effort to pass the class. He's fun, his exams are not.
If you want to know Anatomy and physiology, take him. Awesome professor! He teaches very clear and explains everything very well. Always willing to help his students before and after class. You need to study hard but if you do than you'll do well. Hes really funny and makes jokes all class! Really entertaining class!!I would recommend him for sure!
Awesome teacher. Hes really specific with details and what he will mention on quizzes and practicals so pay attention! Hes very lenient overall with grading and fair. Hes also a joking kind of person after all he is pretty young and understands how his students are. Overall a fun and very helpful teacher!
Very good teacher makes class fun to be in would recommend to anyone
This prof. is young and fun but his test and quizzes are difficult. He is not lenient nor does he take your effort into consideration.
I would recommend him for A&P II.
Mr. R is FANTASTIC. He presents information very clearly. The class is fun, he gives you lots of little tricks for remembering and will dance and joke. Super flexible, 3-9 points of extra credit on every test which are all multiple choice. Anatomy & Physiology is hard, he makes it much easier. He's no pushover, but he is more than reasonable
Mr. R is a amazing teacher. He wants his students to learn.His tests can be a little tough but he goes over everything you need. He is a motivating professor that is upbeat and will grab your attention in class. Great Professor hands down!
I only had him as a sub for a day in the summer course of BIO 111, but he was AMAZING! I learned more in that one day, than I have all summer! Best professor I have experienced at Rockland!
Really fun teacher. He makes learning hard material fun and will give you ways to remember it. His test and quizzes are challenging but he gives extra credit and study guides. I would recommend him to anyone who is willing to learn and wants to have fun while doing it.
Great instructor. Goes over the material very thoroughly. Very organized. Very helpful. Tough tester.
Mr. R is the best teacher I've ever had hands down. He makes class enjoyable and gives tips to help you remember certain things. He has everything you will ever need for his classes on his website from pre made notes with fill in's to the slides he uses for the class. He is a very fair teacher and I can't say one bad thing about him.
take him take him take him. you will enjoy this class. everything is explained clearly he is respectful easy to like but you need to put in the work
Amazing professor. Very enthusiastic and extremely competent.
Funny, makes a 3.5 hour lab a lot more tolerable!
Be prepared for a tough class but if you put in the work you will do well. Prof is very educated on the material and his labs are a lot of fun. He's very helpful and willing to answer any questions. I would absolutely recommend him.
great professor. very knowledgeable and super clear. he explains things so well and helps you remember lab stuff with hints. he funny and great personality. he gives a quiz every class, very fair quizzes. he has a great website to help with studying for quizzes and practicals. would definitely take again!
He a very good Professor knows a lot of information . He usually gives out note packets for you to take notes but are sometimes confusing in whats going to be on test . The TEST ARE EXTREMELY HARD . You must read the TEXTBOOK . For any A&P Class I would say to take him but if your trying to pass take another Professor .
HE IS THE BEST PROFESSOR EVERRR
Great professor, test are tough
Excellent teach. A&P is hard, he doesn't give any freebies, be prepared to earn your grade, but he goes above and beyond to help you learn. he's high energy, motivational, fun and entertaining. Tests are fair, straight from his powerpoints (avail online), all of it covered in class, no surprises. You will learn more than you think possible.
Great teacher and person. Both lecture and Lab were fantastic with JRod. Hes very down to earth and understanding. He certainly knows his stuff. Class material can be overwhelming at times for some. Jeremy makes every effort to help you understand and learn. He even has/had his own site up w/links to the current powerpoints and test dates.
Great professor. Extremely hard lab quizzes and exams. He knows the material, you're just expected to know anything and everything in the textbook. Funny guy and helpful. Just extremely tough exams
Lectures are organized, he has all the notes online on his website. He gives a total of 15 extra credit points in total for the whole semester. Tests can be tricky at times but most of the questions are straight to the point so if you work hard and study you will do well. Never read the textbook just used his notes to study and took online tests.
Great guy. Great teacher. Is actually passionate about what he does which is a rare sight nowadays. His website's powerpoints are the class. If you study just those and never look at the textbook you'll get a B+ or higher. Does everything to help someone who tries. I hold him in high regard, up there with any professor that teaches the course.
Mr R is funny, that I give him. He is extremely difficult. I studied my butt off, but his tests are very tricky most of the time. Basically, if you're taking this class just to pass, or as a prerequisite, I would say try a different professor. Although he's nice and funny, that will not get you to pass the class.
Great teacher, is passionate about what he does . Attendance is mandatory , read the textbook and you'll will pass
Prof. R is an hilarious teacher that's true , but when it comes to the class it can be a bit difficult. At the beginning of the class he explained how he planned to give us 6 test i'm not going to lie i was a bit intimidated . The first test was alright because i studied my butt off and the rest went downhill. It came to the point I had to drop out
Very funny Professor keeps class interesting however attendance is a must whether you have a family emergency, death in family nothing is excused. His tests are very difficult if your looking for an easy grader this Professor is not the one. Be prepared for a very hard class especially any A and P courses
I took Mr R, he is funny, make class enjoyable to be in, but there is no reason for him to make that class super hard like that. He promised the final unit would consist of 2 quizzes. Long and difficult. You have to beg for help and he gives extra credit but doesn't add it to the end of your final grade . I would not suggest to take him.
Professor Rodriguez is an amazing professor . He works hard to make sure you know the material and gets you into the lessons . He is there for you if he sees you are putting in the effort .His lectures and labs are clear and entertaining . You do work hard but it is very rewarding . Definitely take him if you enjoy science.
What most people are saying is the truth. He is funny, great lecturers and offers so much help. But, he'll be the first to tell you his tests are very hard and tricky, not unfair but he puts so much effort into teaching and he expects a lot from his students. Just don't take his kindness for weakness.
Yes, Mr.R is a brilliant, hard-working, funny professor who makes lectures enjoyable. He also has many study guides. HOWEVER, since he works so hard to help his students play time ends when its test time. Just expect EVERY SINGLE TOPIC/WORD he went over to be on his exams. So as cool as he is, he doesn't play when it is test time.
He is a good and respected professor. I took API and APII. I highly recommend him for API and APII LABS . In lecture, there is 75 -100 questions per an exam, including marking/graphs matching. He gives an extra credit and clarify any question on the test. Remember, he is the youngest professor in RCC. Have a happy LAB with Mr. R.
Tough class, given by a vary nice guy. He cares about your grade. Got a solid B+, no complaints, but be prepared to put in a good 20 hours per week of study time. For some reason, A&P students in his class seem to believe there is no harder class than A&P, not sure why - he says "know this" about every topic he tests on. Study and you'll be fine
Mr. R is an amazing teacher. I took him for A&P 1 in the summer. He is an excellent teacher. He is very thorough, gives examples, tricks, and allegory's to help you to retain the information. He really wants you to do well. However, there is a lot of studying, learning new concepts, and memorization as in any A&P class. Mr. R is the best take him!
Really nice and understanding but also stern. Can be in a bad mood occasionally but gives his all and best to his classes
This guy is amazing! I cant begin to describe how wonderful his class is. You certainly get more than a community college experience from this class! Do the work and your grade will reflect. If you are lazy, take another class!
I absolutely loved Mr.R! He was very nice and genuinely wants his students to do well in his class. Tests are easy if you actually study and pay attention in class. They can sometimes be a little unclear so dont be afraid to ask him what a label is referring to and ask about extra credit! His FINAL ISNT CUMULATIVE!!! One test at the end. Easy A!
I came back to RCC after 10 years & was amazed they hired a prof. like Mr. R. He's extremely knowledgable, makes the class so fun to learn in & suggests gimmicks to help you remember concepts. Study at the Sci Learning Center- he's there often if you have Q's. Practicals are hard - study now! SO happy about my experience in this classroom.
Although he is "amazing" and make the class fun, this doesn't mean he is an easy person. Whatever he laughs will not help you for quizzes or exams. SO, you should be aware of heavy test and tricky quizzes.
As people said: very funny and explains things well by comparing them to real world situations. Long MC tests in lecture and short response quizzes in lab. Both were easy for me, but involve lots of memorization. Everything I got wrong felt like it was my own fault, very fair grading and extra/partial credit is given. Dropped the lowest lab quiz.
I have Rodriguez for my support module so i can't say much for his lecture class but this guy is super intelligent and knows his stuff. Any questions you walk in with is guaranteed to be answered and understood. Super cool guy and artistic by the way he teaches. Although i heard his lectures are a little on the tough side, it shouldn't be a problm
His lectures are amazing, and he makes the class interesting! However, his tests are more on the difficult side, so if you care about your gpa, youll have to study really well in order to get an A, otherwise its a great class.
He is an awesome teacher, if you do not study dont expect to pass the class. He definitely makes sure you understand and you are comfortable with the information. I will definitely take him again.
The best professor anyone could ask for. Amazing lab professor. Great lectures. Playful but serious when it comes to work. Great at explaining and breaking down things.
I took lab Bio 110 , he was excellent, so I decided to take lecture with him. His tests were very difficult, 80-100 questions each test. Be prepare to dedicate at least three hours or more to study each week. He is very moody and hard to get in touch with outside class. I would not recommend him.
Just finished taking this summer class with Professor R. Great lecturer. He knows how to keep you engaged and is playful. Likes to joke around. However, he can be unprofessional at times and can waste time especially in lab. He definitely lets you know what's on his exams. Didn't even touch the textbook. Gives extra credit. Good professor overall.
This professor has a true love for teaching! He gives many different opportunities for everyone to understand the material. He gives fun ways to remember new terminology that will stay with you! If you have opportunity to take a class taught by him do not hesitate!
He's a nice guy just a really hard class. There was no reason for him to make that class super hard. Too many exams and quizzes almost everyday. Makes you memorize over 100 slides and then expects you to know everything for the quiz the next day. Exams were difficult at least 100 questions. NOT WORTH IT, take an easier class!!!
He gives a lot of information in his lectures, but it isn't really in his test. He doesn't respond to emails.
Took his class years ago, told me I had to re-schedule training for my new corporate job or he would fail me for an exam. Thank GOD my assistant manager was kind enough to re-schedule me. Would not allow me to take the exam any sooner or later. I still have that job today and would've lost it due to this professors NASTY ATTITUDE.
