Dr. Jawad gives a lot of extra credit opportunities. The only problem I had with him is that he paces around the classroom while giving lecture and goes through the chapters too fast. He is an easy-going, funny, and upbeat guy. I would recommend taking him.
He is nice, gives extra credit, but is mostly unorganized. He gives last minute surprises which can make things difficult. Lab practicals are tough but lecture tests are okay. Will give sillydirty mnemonics to remember terminology, but at least it helps you remember!
He literally tells you what is on the tests. WORD FOR WORD. If you're struggling with something all you have to do is ask and he will explain it. He's extremely helpful and tries to make the class interesting and makes you print out the notes so you don't have to write everything down (which is really nice). Would highly recommend!
Dr. J is an amazing Professor and he really cares about his students. Attendance isn't mandatory but, he does give surprise quizzes. This class isn't easy but, he tries make it simple for the class to learn. Yes, the material goes by fast but, this is what I expect from a College Class. I would highly recommend Dr. J for Human Anatomy
Dr. J is by far and away in the top 5% of profs. I have been in higher ed for decades and I have experience. He wants everyone to pass, makes it crystal clear what you need to do, and goes above and beyond in making sure you have absolutely everything that you need. No surprises. Hard work but go to class, pay attention, do what he says. You pass.
Dr. J is an excellent teacher. He teaches in a way that the students will understand and enjoy. He always emphasized the most important things to know. Attendance isn't mandatory but he often gives quizzes and extra credit opportunities. And he'll always tell you exactly what's on the test. If you pay attention to his lectures you will pass.
Best science teacher I've ever had at COD. So passionate about the material and very willing to help students succeed. Anatomy is not easy and requires a lot of work outside of class but the way Dr. J teaches makes you want to learn. Plus he's hilarious which makes class enjoyable. Very highly recommend him and will be taking him again for sure.
Dr. J is an amazing teacher. I learn something new every time and in an easy to understand way. He gives great examples and takes his time because he cares that you will do well!!!
Dr. Jawad makes it fun to come to a class that can be difficult and overwhelming at times. His dedication to his students can be felt in every class and he genuinely wants you to succeed. He takes education and his job as a professor very seriously but at the same time brings humor into this teaching and lectures. I highly recommend him.
Awesome teacher, he gives pop quizzes so show up. I would recommend his class to anyone.
Very nice guy. Experienced. Will clearly and repetitively let you know what you need to know to pass this class. If you go to class regularly you will almost not even need to study for this class. If you like nmemonics, then this is the guy for you.
Dr J is an amazing professor. Although I was busy with my other responsibilities and didn't study too much, I passed with a B. If I worked a little bit harder I would get an A. He is very helpful. He remembers you and is willing to help even after the semester is over. Caring and positive personality. I learned a lot in this class and loved it!!!
Dr J is a professor who sincerely cares about his students success. He will help in any way possible. He will also push you to your full potential. I enjoyed his class and will miss having a professor who gives all they can for their students. He does give pop quizzes, so go to class. Extra credit is great. Labs are very lively and interactive.
he's an awesome person but as far as teaching his class is not the one to take.. my classmates who are working in the medical field had to correct him constantly about what he was teaching us and he did not know the material well enough. HE TALKS SO FAST YOU CAN NEVER UNDERSTAND. labs are easy lecture exams are tough. I DO NOT RECCOMEND!!!!!
This is one of the professors that legitimately cares about his student's outcomes. He is not going to make it easy necessarily, he will make you work for it, but wants you to succeed. He will give you copious amounts of notes to print out and use for the class. With a little bit of effort, passing this class, or getting an A, should be easy.
Dr. J comes to class prepared each day and will constantly challenge you to do your best. His style is engaging, interesting and continuously motivates you. He has a passion beyond the norm of wanting his students to succeed and that passion is contagious. Through him I have gained the knowledge and tools I needed to be prepared for success.
4 lecture exams. 3 Lab exams. 14 lab assignments. 10 pop quizzes. 1 pathology paper. Gives lecture notes that coordinate with lecture exams (but I still found it difficult). Says what on the Lab exams (every vocab word with pictures, models, and the same cadavers.) Lab is easy points. Paper is easy points. Quizzes suck. Textbook not required.
Teacher is tough but fair. Spent extra time to make sure we knew the stuff we needed to know, even came in 2 Sundays to help the class with practicals! Makes classroom a fun setting with music, funny videos, stories. Got a lot out of this class.
Dr. J is a great teacher. I had him both semesters of anatomy and he is primary concern is his students success. He gives lecture notes to go along with his lectures and constantly repeats the most important parts. Lab time is spent getting ready for the practicals and some sundays he even came in to give us more time. He always offers extra help.
People with negative reviews are crazy! Dr. J is awesome. He is very knowledgeable and passionate, which makes learning from him simple and enjoyable. He doesn't just hand out "A's" though, and you have to put the effort in to learning. But he is always so eager to help that I was able to ask him questions whenever I needed too! Great teacher!!
The student who chastised Dr. J in an earlier review received a poor grade in class because of her inability to ask for help when she needed it the most. Therefore, due to her mistake, she impetuously blamed the professor. Despite this, Dr. J still stands as a resolute teacher. You'll learn a lot and laugh a lot in his class. Take it.
Dr. J is a dope teacher! He's always willing to help his students and push them to work hard because he wants them to succeed. He is hilarious and makes the lect. labs fun, best way to learn. Everything you learn you'll need in your field (his experiences show that). I'd definitely take this class again. He was my favorite during both semesters!
Honestly Dr.J is hands down THE MOST AMAZING professor I've bed had. Not only does he make me want to learn but makes learning easy and understanding. Such an amazing and caring professor. Go to class and listen and you'll be fine. Highly recommend taking him. Such an awesome funny caring professor! Who will go out of his way to help you.
Dr. J is the smartest professor i've ever met in my life. He helps as much as he can, he tries to get you the material as easy as possible. He is so friendly. For him, we're like his children. He cares about people who shows the effort to succeed but they're struggling with the class materials. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TAKING HIM. I WAS ALWAYS TOO EARLY!
Dr. J is definitely one of my favorite teachers at CoD. He really cares about his students and want everybody to succeed. Test are tough but if you study and work hard you'll do great. He even comes in on Sundays before the practical's for a review session. Going to class is a must. If you are going into the medical field I highly recommended him.
Dr. J is an incredible Professor. Yes, he actually cares about his students. He pushes us to do our best and he motivates us on how this field is not easy. He shares examples to make us understand this material much easier. He comes in on his weekends to help the students review for the lab exams. I highly recommend Dr. J for taking anatomy.
Dr. J is the BEST profrssor i met since i started school. He does his best to make you succeed. He WILL motivate you and support you with all the info he has. Lectures are not too bad, cadavers are the best part. I DO HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM!!!
Very good teacher!!! Very helpful
Dr. J definitely puts in the extra effort to ensure his students succeed. He goes above and beyond taking time outside of scheduled class hours to go over material. In all my years of college courses, I never had an instructor care as much as him. Also made the class fun and used real-life scenarios which helped material stick.
Dr. J is hands down the best teacher I have ever head.. he is very knowledgable and tries his best to make class interesting and relevant. He is also very flexible and goes above and beyond to ensure you know the matieral. Finally, he is very inspirational and pushes you to do your best.. I consider myself lucky to have had Dr. J as my teacher.
Probably the most dedicated teacher I have ever had. He pushes you to do well in class. Gives you great outlines and study guides, and tell exactly what you need to study and know for the boards exam. Would take again!only teacher i ever had that comes in on his free time on weekends to review what will be on the test.
Dr. J is by far an amazing teacher. He takes time on weekends to go over lab material before lab tests. He cares about his students and wants them to do there best. If you are looking for a teacher that knows there stuff and explains the material in a fashion you can understand, take him. He is funny but educational and definetley worth your time.
Great teacher!!!! Take him , he will tell you exactly what you need to know and will over prepare you!!!
The best you will have!! If you go to the reviews the pop quizzes are based on it, he also will point it out in class. His labs are great, he over prepares you and you learn so much about his real life experiences.
Dr. J. Was the best teacher I have ever had! He really cares about his students and spends his Sunday's helping his students review for lab exams. He is very approachable and makes learning anatomy really fun! Wish I could take him for A&P 2 but his class filled up before I could sign up. :( I would seriously recommend him to everyone! He's amazing
Dr. J is literately the BEST ANAT professor in COD. he cares A LOT about his students, he's funny, he will make you LOVE his class. He comes in his own time on SUNDAYS to review for Lab Practicals. HIGHLY RECOMMEND TAKING HIM!!!!
Dr. J is by far my favorite professor coming into Anatomy for the first time. I had fears coming into the subject, having no background knowledge, but he made his class at a steady pace for anyone to love and pick up easily. Very inspirational, funny, and supportive of your strengths. Sign up ASAP, runs out quick FOR A GOOD REASON!
Most caring professor at COD. As long as you do your labs and study for exam you will do great. He even comes in on weekends to help out students and encourages everyone to come and help each other out. Very disappointed I wasn't able to take anatomy 1572 with him, his class fills up quick! ! Highly Recommended!
Dr. J comes in for Sunday reviews to go over lab and lecture material which is incredibly helpful. He has a great sense of humor so class is never too boring and he goes above and beyond to ensure his students do an excellent job. He always answers his emails if you need him. He breaks the most complex chapters down so you can really understand.
Jawad is one of the best teacher at COD. He knows how to connect with the students and lectures are never boring. His grading is fair and clear. He makes you work for your grade. Lectures and Lab exams are manageable if you actually studied. Don't slack off!! I learned that the hard way ( I deserve my grade).Overall, really good teacher. TAKE HIM!!
Dr J is the best professor I have had here at cod. He is amazing! I've learned so much from his class and he is so helpful and caring towards his students. Work hard, try your best, and you should have no problem doing well in the class! HIGHLY recommend for anyone wanting to be in healthcare. Take him!!!
Dr J ia an awesome teacher ,I learned so much from him and he motivates you to do well ,he goes out of his way on Sundays two weeks before lab practicals to go over lab matrerials with the class ,if i had the chance I would take him again and since he is a chiropractor he incorporates medical stuff with his lectures
I've never cared to rate a professor but I felt it necessary. Dr. J is truly the best professor I've come across thus far. Not only is he extremely motivational and enlightening, but he goes above and beyond for his students coming in on Sundays to review for labs. I wish I would have taken him for 1571. He makes you want to learn. Awesome person!
Most inspirational teacher I have ever had. Very fair grader and goes into detail on what you need to know for the tests. Goes above and beyond to give you everything you need to do well in the class.
This class in general is hard, I couldn't have gotten through it without Dr.J He goes above & beyond to help u understand & thoroughly walks you through the material. Most importantly he believes in his students. He's very passionate in this field. His teaching style by far is the best I've ever had. He prepares u for the real world tobe successful
Dr J is seriously the best teacher!! He really does care about his students and encourages them to do their best. Not many college professors or teachers I know are as genuine and helpful as he is. I miss this class already! He's amazing!
Dr. J is The BEST Teacher by far!! I was floored by his dedication and caring for his students! Im telling you if your looking for a great teacher this is him! I got A's in both classes. COME TO CLASS! He has pop quizzes but if your in lecture you'll do fine! He even comes in on sunday's to go over test material. BEST TEACHER! Take him!
Dr. J is an amazing professor! I decided to take him after seeing the amazing feedback he received on ratemyprofessors. He is passionate about what he does and teaches well. Remember, this is not an easy A! Worked hard, attend ALL lectures and study the PPTS, take notes! Worked my way from a B to an A with the Final! He is very helpful.
Dr. J is the nicest and smartest professor I've ever had. he does all he can to help students. He comes on his own time on Sundays to help with lab stuff. He is not a tough grader, he gives away nice extra credit opportunities, and when it comes to lectures, he explains the material well. if you wanna get an A+, definitely take him
Dr. J is a phenomenal professor. He always puts his best foot forward when it comes to teaching any aspect of anatomy/physiology. He is incredibly helpful, understanding, & fun. He always tries to make things relatable so they're easier to comprehend/apply. Unfortunately, I only had him for one semester since his class fills up fast. #1 prof!!!!
Dr. J is one of the best professors at COD. He goes out of his way to help you and makes any hard concepts understandable. This is not an easy class but he makes study guides for the lab exams and if you study the lecture slides you will do well in the lecture exams. He's funny so it makes 7 am lecture worth it.
Anatomy is a hard course in general so you really have to work your butt off in this class to get a good grade. Dr. J is a phenomenal teacher and he made anatomy easy for me. He gives out real life situations that gave me a better understanding of the course and he has his own ways with mnemonics which actually does help remembering the terms.
Best.. professor.. EVERRR! There is none other like him at COD. Take him. Don't even spend your time looking at other reviews. He's the best!
Extremely fair. Dr. J tells you exactly what he expects, and if you don't do it, that is entirely your fault. It's a lot of material; you have to work to get an A. You need to go to class; he gives pop quizzes and if you miss you lose out on points. He gives extra credit opportunities and test reviews - take advantage! I highly recommend him.
Dr. J is a seriously outstanding teacher. He is very relatable and uses real life situations to better understand the information. He's laid back and fun (& brought his dog to class ). Good piece of advice: when doing the semester paper don't forget to send it to him because he has a lot of good feedback to give and will give u the A.
Dr. J is by far one of the best teachers I have ever had. He breaks down the material, gives you hints as to what is important. The class in general is difficult, but I would not have passed without him. He gives a lot of easy points. SHOW UP TO CLASS AND GO TO THE STUDY SESSIONS. He is known for surprise quizzes, but they are given in a pattern!
I liked him at first but then it became clear what type of teacher he really was. Even if you are intelligent and work hard in the class, if you do not personally do what he wants to see... i.e. attend his outside study groups and all non mandatory lectures he takes it personally. He puts things on lab exams he said you didn't have to worry about.
By far the best Professor for Anatomy. I only had him for 1572 - second semester. He is very fair. He comes in on Sunday's to help out the students. No, it is not mandatory to attend but, it is beneficial to attend his lectures and to go the extra mile. I feel that he is preparing me for my nursing program coming soon. He cares about his students.
He has a nice personality and comes off as very easy going but soon realized he was not. He acts a little immature at times, and does not give help on lecture exams, labs are easy. Lectures are too fast when explaining tough concepts; If you do take him he will say lectures aren't mandatory but you'll get on his bad side if you don't go.
Dr. J is the best anatomy professor that ive had at cod. He truly cares about his students & what theyre learning. I have learned so much from him this semester. His lectures are not mandatory but they really help. His sunday reviews are not mandatory but those also help a lot for lab practicals. Thanks Dr. J for a great semester & caring so much!
Part 1, I had Dr.J both first and second semester for A&P and I LOVED him, I LOVED his grading and teaching style and most importantly the fact that he truly cares about his students. Dr.J takes time out of his own Sundays to come into school to help go over the material on the lab exams, he wants nothing but to see his students succeed...
Part 2, Dr.J doesn't count attendance against you for lecture days but you would be pretty stupid to not go to lectures considering he goes over what's going to be on the lecture exams (who would've thought). Dr.J also throws in a few pop quizzes during lecture days (pretty much a free 10 pts). Dr.J is truly the best professor I've ever had.
I started my Nursing Program after taking Dr. J's class. Thank you to his teachings/examples/rants/etc.. I am more prepared than my classmates. I didn't realize how much he was preparing me until I started my nursing program. His in class examples of clinical experiences, his knowledge of anatomy and physiology helped me a lot. Thank you Dr. J!
Dr. J has a great handle on the anatomy but lacks in the physiology department. I feel I learned more from my textbook than his lectures. I know he could have structured class better so the "Sunday review sessions" were not necessary. He wastes a lot of class time being inspirational and talking about inappropriate things. Take another professor.
TAKE HIS CLASS. I can guarantee you that no other professor will be even half as good as Dr. J is. He gives you all the materials you need to succeed in his class. You just need to put in the work as well. I'm not even in his class for ANAT II, and he still offered to give me all his lecture material! Overall, outstanding professor.
If you need this class TAKE DRJ. He is such a great teacher and will set you up for nothing but success in your future. He is willing to help any way he can and explains everything SO great. HIGHLY recommend
AMAZING TEACHER! He is the most caring and knows his stuff! Saturday and Sunday before Lab exams he gives help. Always very responsive to emails ASAP! I would't know half the things I do if it weren't for his teaching. He cares about everyone doing well. WORK HARD! Trust the process! WILL TAKE AGAIN 100000%
BEST TEACHER EVER! Skip Class you won't pass. Teaches you the REAL WORLD!! Don't be upset if your grade drops. You deserve the grade you earn!!!! Do not ask him for things later in year. HE TELLS YOU FIRST DAY TO PRINT OUT THINGS!!! LISTEN!!If you don't like the REAL WORLD do not take this class. You will learn real fast you will never get off easy
If you are easily offended do not take this class.!!!! The real world is how he teaches. You won't get a free pass on things, in this class or real life. You need to be ONTIME FOR TESTS AND QUIZZES! CANNOT MAKE UP!!! BE ONTIME! Teaches great. Labs are easy and help on weekends. Lecture tests bit more harder. Study hard!!
took Dr. J for both 1571 and 1572. Amazing professor. If you put enough effort and being serious about passing he will help. Very clear lectures. YOU HAVE TO PUT IN THE WORK TO EARN THE GRADE YOU WANT. Very smart professor and very knowledgeable. A lot of interesting stories that he experienced in the medical field.
I've had many professors in my time, and Dr. Jawad is near or at the top. He's fair, but gives you many opportunities to succeed. Show up, listen to the lectures (which are actually very entertaining), and you'll pass. He's funny, dedicated, and knowledgeable. He believes in all his students and works hard for you; work twice as hard back.
Amazing professor who cares about his students and pushes them to be their best. Great lectures along with funny stories. He goes above and beyond for his students.
One of the best professors Ive ever had in my life. He is inspirational, interesting, and will help you with whatever hes got. Hes not a trick tagger, hes fair, and he helps you work harder than you thought was possible. He hints at whats on the exams and helps you prepare for it and makes sure you are comfortable with the material.
Amazing professor. Likes to joke a little too much, but a laugh is just what we needed at 7am. Read your book or workbook or slides or notes or whatever the heck you use because it's A LOT of material. Lectures only won't get you far. Labs were amazing, Dr. J is always willing to answer any questions and explain multiple times.
A very well caring man. He gives you many opportunities to get extra credit, he pushes you to the very end. Has outside study sessions that you don't have to come to, but is very well recommended. Very fast grader compared to other teachers. He's funny, has clear grading criteria. Do Not Be LATE on test day as he wont let you in as testing starts
Hes very knowledgeable and actually passionate about what he teaches. Im a visual learner and the way he teaches breaks the difficult material in a way that is easy to understand! Hes not a trick tagger, DO NOT be late to class. Its worth it to be early and if you can take him do it! He prepares you for the real world! Dont take if easy offended
Motivational. Inspiring. Dont be late. Effortful professor ever. Does weekend reviews for students who are having a hard time with the material. TAKE HIM IF U NEED A GOOD PROF
Best professor ever!!! If you study, dont skip class, do the assignment on time, pay attention in lectures, youll get an A. Its not an easy A because its Anatomy and Physiology ��But hands down! You will learn! Lots of extra credit, study sessions on the weekends (optional), lots of useful material.
Dr. J is the best teacher I have ever had. He genuinely cares about his students and makes sure that every students gets the attention that they need. He keeps class fun while still teaching hard material. He relates to students really well and does his best to make sure that everything he is teaching makes sense. He is there for the students.
Dr. J is amazing. He really takes the time to thoroughly explain concepts which makes this class a lot easier. He teaches in an order that makes sense and ties everything together. Weekly lab homework . pay attention and STUDY!
Dr. J is a knowledgeable professor. I love taking his class even if was a 7 am class.4 lab exams, 4 lecture exams. 1 paper .
A great guy
Dr. J is a one of a kind teacher. He cares about his students. He does everything in his power to help you succeed. You need to put in the work, but if you work hard and show up you'll be fine. This class isn't easy but reasonably so. He even comes in on his free time (where he doesn't get paid) to review with students. He is always accessible!
Dr. J is your best choice for Anatomy and Physiology. I highly recommend him to anyone. -F
Dr. J is an incredible professor. He's understanding and caring. The only tough thing is you must come to class and be there on time, he has pop quizzes but they are very easy. In the lab he's great he actually helps and identify the parts of the body with you. Great professor!
I have been to several schools and dr j is by far the best professor I have ever had. He really cares about his students and goes the extra mile to not only make students successful in his class but also prepares them for the future healthcare field. I highly recommend taking his class.
He's respects and 1 homework which is lab exercises and 1 paper where he gives free points. he goes back and forth until you have made all correction and then gives you free 50 points. However attendance is mandatory if you do get late to a class and there's pop quiz you will loose points. however it has taught be to be on time which has helped me
Dr J is a dynamic and motivational lecturer. Attend class and participate! Remember you will only get out of it what and how much you put into it. We made a study group within the first couple week of class - everyone studies differently and not one particular way is correct, but key is everyone must contribute. Read the directions! Read Book- A
An amazing teacher that goes out of his ways to ensure his students succeed not just in this course but leave with good tips in whatever healthcare field they have chosen. Content is hard but if you keep up with the pace/attend the class and especially go for the bonus Sunday Reviews, it's easy to pass and do well. Beware of Pop Quizzes/NO Makeups!
Dr. J is by far the best professor I have had in ANY science course. He takes his time and goes over concepts many times to make sure that you understand what is being taught. He understands that not everyone learns the same way so he finds creative ways to explain the same concept as to reach every student. He keeps students engaged. TAKE HIM! S
As a teacher who teaches anatomy its interesting how against the vaccine he is. There have been posts on here how he dislikes the mask mandates and doesnt believe in this whole situation. Is nice and helps out when I took him.
I just needed to come back and say how blessed COD is to have him. He is enthusiastic and prepares you for the real world. I transferred to a top 15 university after COD and I would take Dr. Jawad over any of my science professors here. Do yourself a favor and take him. You’ll get the grade you deserve in this class.
