Only teacher I've ever had that has a real personality; is funny, attentive and a wealth of knowledge
Great instructor, great personality, funny, and knows his stuff.
HILARIOUS!! His humor kept the class going and interesting!!
Expect to fail the first exam...our whole class did! He said he uses this tactic to ween out students who aren't interested in the class. Other then that, he was great. He gives extra credit and I made an A.
Wonderful teacher, Have alot of respect for him. If you study hard, do your work, and go to class, you will do fine. Study in groups makes it easier.Anatomy is a tough subject. He is on your side!!! I highly reccomend.
Great Professor! I had him 2 years ago & I log on this thing every semester so everyone knows who to take for A & P. Participate in class & put in some effort & you will be rewarded with an A. Makes not so interesting topics interesting and is an amateur comedian so class is fun.
Dr. Adams is the best! I highly recommend him. He is not the easiest, but put in some effort and you will do great!
What a great teacher! And he's hott- :-) This is a hard hard class. But a great teacher he trully cares about his students and if you put the effort he will try to help 2 the best of his ability. You have to study and work ur A*z off but a great teacher and you will learn and retain all the information. I so recomend this teacher his is awesome...
He is a professor who teaches on everyones level. He truely cares for each student. I still go to him when I am having problems and he helps me. I haven't had hime for 4 semesters!!
I am not to good in Biology but i made an A in this class befoere I even took my finals! A lot of extra credit, all labs are take home and they count for your final grade, exams are directly from his lecture notes that you'll buy from Kinkos. He is the best. very easy to pass his class. I must take him for AP 2. I need my As
Great teacher, give extra credit!!
he was so wonderful, i would take his class all over again just to have him as my teacher!!!
I love this man. He is the best at what he does.. He is fair and tries to help his students. He treats everyone the same, with respect. He never makes you fell stupid if you have a hard time understanding. He is a great person and teacher.
Loves to teach, and is very helpful to all students
VERY EASY if you study lecture notes. You don't even have to go to lectures. Just study the notes hardcore. Labs are tricky but easy if you study and remember them.
Love this professor. I had him for both A & P's. As long as you buy his notes and study you will make a good grade. All lec. examines come straight from his notes. All lab examines come straight from the lab reviews. Gives extra credit.
Worlds Best Professor! Great personality. Actually cares that you do well. Very helpful. Funny. Buy his notes at Kinkos. You will fail his first test (scare tactic I think) & do well on the following. Be sure to ask questions & tell jokes - the more you stand out the better your grade. Do all the extra credit, your effort will be greatly rewarded.
good good lecture!! u can buy his notes at the copy center! they help alot and are word for word what he says in class!! 4 tests and usually 2 take home tests also!! he will not let you fail if u ask questions and talk to him about what you are having trouble with... GREAT PROFESSOR
He's one of the greatest science teachers you will ever have. He covers fully and thourghly so you will get confused. Study notes, ask questions, and you'll do fine. His take homes are a bit challenging though.
Took his summer A & P II class. Simply said, this is one of the best teachers TCC has to offer, in every way possible. Very interesting teaching style, funny, helpful, gives extra credit, flexible,understanding,personable, friendly, etc etc. Do yourself a favor and take Dr. Adams, it will make your TCC experience that much better.
Dr. Adams is a GREAT teacher, one of the best. The first test was really hard and no one did too good but the tests after that were fairly easy, not really easy but if you read your notes and study a bit you'll do fine, he is extremely helpful!
Awesome teacher, ever smiling, interesting, helpful, down to earth, goes out of his way to assist. One of the best teachers I've come across. He is an asset to TCC southeast. Way to go Dr. Adams!!
Dr Adams, I tryed to give you a chilli pepper but can't figure out how. Ha Ha. Adams is the best!! He is not easy but he made learning fun. Lectures are great and his stories help a lot! You won't want to miss a single class as you will be missing out! :) Wonderful class!!!
Great person. Good professor. I found lab tests to be difficult and unorganized. He is very encouraging and will answer any questions you may have.
Mr. Adams is super nice. His lectures are a little on the boring side, but as long as you go to class & study, you should make an A or B in there. He also gives a couple of take home tests, which helps. I don't like his lab tests because they are full of trick questions.
Great teacher, just needs to add quizes. Easy to understand, great notes, I would recommend him to anyone.
Dr Adams is awesome. He was my first teacher at TCC and everyone else, I compare to him and perryman (microbiology). They are the best. Class is hard but having a good teacher makes all the difference. Lectures are extremely interesting and lab homework is not so bad. A lot of memorization. tests are alright if you study notes well. I made an A.
Mr. Adams is great!! ive never made an A in an of my science classes until now. Adams is willing to answer any questions and gives tons of extra credit. we had 3 take home tests which was extremely helpful.the best teacher ive had yet.
good, offers extra credit
I took him for both lab n lecture in biol 1 and took him for only lecture in 2. He's really great. In lecu you have 3 take home test, 1 open book n 1 open brain test. 2 xcredit Always do your hw in lab cos it helps if you don't pass the test but if u do ur hw it heples n ur xcredit makes up 4 da tests
He is a good teacher but very unorganized.
really good teacher, he know what hes talking about. but not that easy it depends on you your self quite abit
This teacher is the best A&P teacher!!! He is so funny, interesting, and generous. You can pass his class if you study and read your notes. THIS TEACHER IS AWESOME!!! I RECOMMEND HIM TO ANYBODY THAT WANTS TO TAKE AN A&P CLASS, BOTH I & II.
Good teacher..he gives take home tests and extra credit. He doesn't count off on misspelled words in his lab tests like other lame a & p professors at Tcc. Just as long as he can read it your fine. I find lecture to be more hard than lab but as long as you study you'll do good! Take him cause he is the best a & p teacher at Tcc!
Excellent
I love him! He is a really great teacher! 1st test a little difficult but after that its all from the notes! He explains A&P so well! Best professor but his classes feel up really quick! 2 Take Home test and extra credit!
He is a great teacher. What a difference a lab teacher can make on your life. He explains things so well to where it makes sense. I would take him if you can because he is a good teacher. Very understanding
would keep this professor since he does deliver information in a manner which is understandable, aids in giving important info which is helpful to the student in their further studies, he acknowleges and attempts to help students in any way possible to learn
He is an awesome teacher!! He makes learning A&P fun and interesting. He is very helpful and funny! Best teacher at Tcc!!!
DR ADAMS HELPS A LOT. IF YOU WANT TO PASS HE WILL HELP YOU AND IF YOU WANT AN A HE WILL HELP YOU. HE WILL EXPLAIN ANYTHING YOU DONT UNDERSTAND AND TRYS TO KEEP YOU INTERESTED IN HIS CLASS. HE KNOWS WHAT HES TEACHING AND HE IS INTERESTED IN IT, AND YOU CAN TELL THAT ABOUT HIMJ AS HE TEACHES. VERY DEDICATED TO HIS WORK, LOVES WHAT HE DOES.
He is the best. Hes always in a ggod mood. Not boring at all he loves what he does. Gives a ton of extra credit you would be able to pass him.
Dr. Adams is a great instructor. He is not the easist but he is excellent if you study, participate in class and HE IS ALWAYS HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS. TAKE HIM!! He is very helpful!
hes the best A&P professor at TCC ive taken him twice and have delt with many other professors he is very knowledgable his tests can be difficult be study the notes and you will do fine
HE WILL WORK WITH YOU UNTIL YOU UNDERSTAND. HE GIVE TAKE HOME TESTS AND TELL GREAT STORIES. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A GOOD A&P TEACHER HE IS THE RIGHT CHOICE TO PICK.
Recommended! Extremely hard at first exam, but afterward he made it very easy. Happy to help you completely understand the subject. Good class for students that enjoy in-class discussions and don't mind going off-lecture to explore a topic. Textbook not required - he makes his lecture notes available in the copy center. I made an A.
I am in love with Dr. Adams. I took him for A&P 1&2 lab and got an A in both classes. He is warm and kind, helps you understand everything you learn. His tests aren't very easy but he gives extra credit. He always greets you with a smile and he tells little jokes. I will miss him.
I only had Dr Adams for A&P lab, but I would totally recommend taking his classes. He is knows the subject and is great at sharing his knowledge
Very nice guy. Truly cares about his students. Mostly everyone in my class failed the first test. His tests gradually got a little less difficult, but NEVER easy. He gave extra credit and a couple of take home tests, which helped out a lot. He was always very welcoming during office hours.
This professor is such a great guy, he is very helpful and he will explain things when needed. Made me look forward to going to lab. Thanks mr. adams i will miss you!!!
I had Adams for lecture and lab and passed both with an A and rarely ever came to class, he gives lots of take home tests and finals are open book open note, truly an amazing teacher and is more than willing to explain what you dont understand! i highly recommend if you are going to take his class that you register the first hour of registration b/
He is truly the best instructor ever, he is extremely helpful and very clear. Definitely my favorite teacher.
Dr. Adama was a great professor. I received an A in both Lab & Lec. If you come to class and study you will make an easy A. 3 of his test are take home. The final you can use your notes. Lab just show up and pay attention you will do wel. Get him quick he fills up really quickly. Bets AP teacher EVER!!! Highly recommend.
I love Dr. Adams! Took him for AP1&2! Best AP teacher he goes off of his class notes so I barely used my book unless I needed to see a visual of something. There are 4 in class tests and 2 take home tests ;D and the take home tests are easy 100's because you have notes, book, Internet to help you!! Take Adams! He gives a good solid foundation of AP Instead of overwhelming students with tons and tons of info, but still need to study study study it is ap but work hard go to class = A!!!
He is a great professor. Do not need to buy the book, its up to you and he recomends to buy a cheaper one(very cheap). This is not an easy class at all. Tests are tricky(need to know the material very well).He doesnt give test reviews so you need to study on your own.
Great professor. Cares about his students a lot. My advice is to talk to him. He is always willing to help. Go to his SI and he will answer any questions. I learned so much from him. He has notes you can buy but I would get the book too. I found it best to read his notes than read the book for more detail.
LOVE Adams. He is funny, caring, and makes time for each and every one of his students. His in class exams are tricky-you need to know the material. His take homes are a relief. But as far as his teaching and personable capabilities go, he's exceeded my expectations. Amazing, amazing teacher. Made me actually care about the material. Take him!
Dr. Adams is a WONDERFUL professor! He makes A&P exciting and you can tell he loves teaching the course. He is super helpful to all his students and wants to ensure that you understand the massive amounts of material. I completely suggest taking him!
Amazing person,great sense of humor,friendly and one of the best professors i have ever met.Always ready to help you.Most important makes learning A N P very interesting.A n P is not a easy class so it needs a lot of hardwork too.i would surely recommend to take him because he is the best.i really liked his teaching method.Great professor......
Great teacher makes learning very fun. by far the best teacher ive had for a science class!!!
Great Instructor...but he gets distracted w/questions or off topic and gets in a crunch & runs through the info. Took class during Summer break worst mistake. I pulled out an A studied on my own as other folks had a difficult time with the material. Book helpful but not required. Study Lec Notes and Lab manual. Some trick question on test. Study!!
Took him over the summer. He's a great instructor. The tests are tricky though so watch out.
Very entertaining and has a great sense of humor. Keeps you engaged and interested.
Dr. Adams was an amazing professor. I took him for A&P 2 and I wish I had found him sooner! He was so helpful- he even offered extra tutoring between our lab and lecture for those interested. He really wanted everyone to succeed. Love him!
Very handsome! He comes to class with a smile on his face and smells delicious lol Dr.Adams wants everyone to pass his class. You defiantly have to study to learn A&P but he just makes it more pleasant. He offers lots of take homes and final is open book.Watch out for the first exam,he wants to make sure your paying attention lol!
The best biology professor i have ever taking.He's desire is to see everyone do well.If he was taking other classes, i would take him again.
Took him for lab 2401 and 2402. Both run out of time and the highest "practicals" counted twice. Lot of extra credit. Recommended him for lab :)
I took his lab. Tricky questions, but if you really study well, you should be fine. He's so nice to his students. He has a positive attitude. He's always willing to help his students. His lab is so much fun.
Dr Adams is awesome! My favorite teacher ever! I had him for A&PII Lab & Lecture and he is really nice and cares about his students! He is always willing to help! His lecture tests can be tricky but with the take home tests and lab grade its not too bad. I made an A.
the best teacher at TCC, if you had a hard teacher for A&P 1. Adams is like a walk in the park. He has 2 take home exams and "1" more the last test is open book. AND he gives extra credit. if you have in for lecture and lab. I guarantee you he will give you nothing less then a B. and thats not studying and not going to class.
Dr. Adams is by far the best teacher on TCC SouthEast campus. I took he's A&P 1 lab & lecture, in the summer 1 semester. And I'm glad I did!!! Dr. Adams is very helpful and want to ensure every student understand the material. If I could take Dr. Adams for all my science courses I would. He's just that Great!!! No words can describe Dr. Adams :-)
Wow, Awesome!!! He gives you every opportunity to make an A. Plus I have never learned more in a class. He knows the ins and outs of the body. He is funny and cares about his students. You will fail the first lecture test but don't worry. Highly recommend.
Great teacher, might be the best I have had so far. Test are a little hard but he gives you all kinds of ways to bring up the grade. Learned more in this class than I did others I took.
Dr. Adams may be the best teacher I have had so far. I really enjoyed his class. Learned more here than any other class I took. Test are a little hard, but he gives you easy assignments or ways to bring up your grade. If you need anatomy I recommend you take him.
Test are hard.
He is awesome ,amazing ,and wonderful professor I wish I had more A&P till 5 and take more classes with him But Im very lucky I have A&P2 for spring I got A but pay attention to notes if you read notes your grade is A I recommend all medical fields.
Love Dr. Adams he loves answering questions. Gives 3 take home test don't bye the book required for the class he will tell you a better book to buy that's super cheap. Would definitely recommend him taking him for the second part!
Took him for both API-II and loved him. Lecture test are hard! I never made an A on a lecture test that wasn't take home, but I killed lab practicals. Wait to buy the book. He has an amazing and cheap option that his take home tests come straight from.
Dr. Adams is the top notch professor you can get for A & P I & II! All of his characteristics as a person makes him the perfect Professor! He is hilarious with stories that exemplifies what he is trying to teach you. You have to work hard, pay attention, study, review his notes to make an A, not easy as you think, but he works with you.
Dr. Adams gives amazing lectures! His words simply stick because he is VERY good at teaching. I'm not kidding! If you have to take AP actually wanna learn something this is your guy. Anytime I didn't understand he would clarifynever makes anyone feel like they SHOULD automatically understand wo him explaining:) Read the notes you will be good.
Dr. Adams is the BEST professor at TCC! He's Extremely nice, funny, & helpful! his 1st lecture exam is tough but you'll be ok if you study hard. he Gives a take home test & extra credit. WAIT TO BUY THE BOOK! I only wish he held a (how to lecture101) course for the rest of the robot teachers at TCC so they could learn how human interaction works.
Dr Adams is a Very clear, precise, and passionate prof who teaches with a smile. Never seems to get angry which tells you he is experienced in dealing with students. I enjoyed his interaction with students, very positive gentleman. Be ready to study his notes cos tests are straight up from it and attending class is what will save you pay attention
Professor Adams is an excellent teacher .His teaching is very clear. Class was actually fun at times . He will make you laugh and enjoy it . He is also very engaging with you on your questions and class material . His tests are very tricky though . We had No homework and no pop quizzes. Fun class .
Dr adams is simply the best ap leclab professor on tcc southeast campus do take him his lectures are fun and he really wants everyone to succeed will be taking him again for ap 2....
Dr. Adams is one of the best professor. He explains the concept very well. He is super helpful and nice. He never gets mad. He gave 4 take home test and 2 in class test. Study and you will be fine.
OKay, First off he is a great professor and his test are hard. 2nd, don't get to excited about the take home exams, you have to do a lot of reading and research for the answer. The class exams are easier than the take home. He is friendly and very helpful, I am registered for A&P II with him. Take notes and show up for class and study! Awesome Prof
FUN PROFESSOR AND FUN CLASS HOWEVER HE IS A BIT DISORGANIZED. TESTS ARE HARD AND CONFUSING . YET THE CLASS WAS VERY EASY AND CLEAR ? HE IS A VERY NICE GUY AND VERY POLITE. YOU CAN TELL HE REALLY LOVES TEACHING BECAUSE HE IS GIVES THOROUGH DETAILED EXPLANATIONS . HE DID GIVE BONUS POINTS AND A BIT OF EXTRA CREDIT . YOU DEF WILL NEED THE BOOK.
By no means an easy class, this is college level anatomy.. HOWEVER, I loved his lab! Wish i had taken him for lecture too. Gives the best explanations so that you don't feel quite as inundated with information as you actually are. Nice man, can't wait to have him for A&P II.
Very sweet professor it is clear he loves teaching Anatomy. He is a bit disorganized but he muddles through. His notes he gives to the class covers everything you need to know. The tests can be very tricky though because he will word them in ways completely different from the notes. Take home tests are far more difficult than his in class exams.
Okay! I took him for A&PI and I just finished taking him for A&PII. AMAZING Professor! Test are hard! Study or you won't pass! Lab Practicals are easy. Gave 3 take home test and 3 in class Lec exam, 3 Lab exams. Final is the 3rd lecture test but open book. I passed with high B+ I could of made an A+ but with being a parent/work it was tough.
Brilliant professor and overall awesome dude. He sometimes gets sidetracked into off-topic conversations (especially if you have a moronic student that constantly asks stupid, non-related to lecture questions - you know who you are, Andrea). Otherwise, super sharp, explains well, exams are hard, you will learn a lot from this GREAT professor!!!
Awesome professor! Extremely knowledgeable, very student-focused, will help and guide you through the maze of A&P. His exams are extremely tough, so know your stuff, otherwise you won't do well at all. Don't miss class, and KNOW his notes. The book is a must. Details are key. Ask questions if you don't understand - but PLEASE - do it on YOUR time!
I took Adams for my A&P lab, but it felt like a lecture. We only touched microscopes once, and then it was just to look at the letter "e". All we did in class was grade each other's papers. He also always wanted to schedule tests and extra lectures outside of class time. If you couldn't make it, he wouldn't accommodate at all. Would NOT recommend.
Dr. Adams is one of the best professors I have ever had, if not the best! He explains the subject very well. I just completed Pathophysiology at UTA and I know if it wasnt for the learning experience Dr. Adams offered during A&P I would not have been able to make an A in Patho. His tests are hard, but gives extra credit! He is an amazing professor
I absolutely LOVED Professor Adams! I had him for A&P 1 & 2 during the summer for both lecture and lab. He kept class fun and entertaining. He LOVES what he teaches and wants you to love it as well. We had 6 lecture exams (3 in-class & 3 take-home) & 3 lab exams straight from the notes. I definitely recommend taking him! You WON'T regret it.
Oh gosh. I have mixed feelings. He's a great lecture teacher for sure, but boy, his tests are another story. Definitely take him for lab. Lecture is iffy. Most of the stuff on the tests we took in class weren't even discussed or barely covered. We're supposed to grab specific ideas from the 600+ textbook were supposed to read. Other than that....
BEST TEACHER I HAVE HAD DURING MY TCC YEARS. He loves his job and his examples for you to learn something has helped me so much. He motivated me to keep going and never give up. You NEED to study for lec. and labs. in order to pass. I took him for A&P 1 and 2, never regret it! You need to use your brain. If you're lazy then don't take it. Love him!
Dr. Adams is an outstanding professor! He really cares for his students and does as much as he can to help you out. He explains his material thoroughly and is not complicated at all! Tests are a bit confusing but after the first test, you get the idea of how his tests will be! So grateful to have taken him, highly recommend!
The class is made of 3 take home tests and 3 in-class tests. Have you ever taken a class in English but the test questions are in Chinese? Well, that's Mr. Adams for you! He basically stands and talks for the whole class w/o powerpoints or videos. I earned an A and the key is to memorize the notes and you can ace the test. The NoteThe Test.
I love him!!! He is great and one of the greatest prof. I have ever had at TCC. He cares for your study, he helps it. He give you idea how to have work done right. His exams are.... super rough... but I can't blame him on that because it makes you have to sacrifice for ur study and it is worth that. I'm happy with my B and will take him again!!!
Dr. Adams is seriously the best. I have learned so much in his class and his examples will always be stuck in my head! The grade you are given in this class is the grade that you EARNED. You ned to study and know your materials. His take home tests seriously helped a lot. Thank you Dr. Adams for everything!!
Great Professor, lecture seems easy but test are surprisingly tough. However he is willing to guide you in the right direction. Labs are kinda long but he accomplishes a lot of material through that time. Very nice professor.
You can definately tell that he cares greatly for his students. He will let you know when a test is upcoming and will tell you exactly what is on the test. He is very knowledgeable about his subject and is willing to share his knowledge to the greatest extent. Make sure you study for the tests though, they can be very difficult.
WHAT SHOULD I SAY ABOUT THIS PROFESSOR...!!! THERE IS NO WORD CAN DESCRIBE HIM BECAUSE DR. ADAMS IS ONE OF THE FEW BEST PROFESSORS AT TCC. HE TEACHES WELL, CARES ABOUT HIS STUDENTS , AND HE UNDERSTANDS VERY WELL. I KNOW TESTS ARE HARD BECAUSE THE SUBJECT IS ACTUALLY HARD, BUT DR. ADAMS IS AMAZING FOR SURE. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TAKING HIM.
I WILL NEVER FORGET DR. ADAMS AND HIS AMAZING ADVICES. Anatomy is a hard course so you need to study for his exams. If you're going to be lazy then you will not pass. I studied and learned so much in his class! It's better to actually be in the classroom and see how he explains about the human body. He's so caring!
There are so many ways to discribe Dr Adams, simply amazing would be one! He is easy to follow, gives crazy analogies you will never forget! Gives take home exams & in class exams. READ his notes & know his notes & the class will be a breeze! He is respected, he cares about his students & will bend over backwards to help a student! Took him for 1&2
Professor Adams is the BEST professor I have ever had ! He cares about his students and wants them to learn . He goes out of his way to make sure everyone knows what he is talking about . He makes lab and lecture more understandable by using real life examples and stories . I LOVED his teaching style over all ! Take him and you will learn a lot
TAKE HIM! Took him sum 1 and havent regreted it! Make sure to study the powerpoints & order the Tortora book helped alot! Lab is simple make sure to pay attention to what he says. Goes out of his way to help everyone understand A&P. GAVE US 35 POINTS FOR EC. (he does point system) 2 take home exams, 4 lecture exams (one was open BOOK!!) TAKE HIM!
10/10 reccomend. Make sure to pay attention. Lecture exams are somehow tricky but very straight forward if you study the PowerPoints. Also reccomend getting the Tortora book he suggests! As far as lab it's more straight forward but make sure to take notes on everything he says! Overall amazing instructor!! Very much worth the drive!
I took him for lab, but were mostly like lecture. Didn't really dissect, but he is really straight forward to what he wants on the lab exams. He is really interesting. Would take him for lecture maybe not for lab.... but good prof. Make sure to buy your lab book, we definitely use it, but just the lab reviews.
All I will say is he is awesome and he knows the material.
Had Adams for lab. We didnt do a single dissection or lab. He lectures the entire time from the lab book, homework is due every class. You do look at models at least. 3 multiple choice exams, hard exams w trick questions. Nice professor, but gets off topic. Gives extra credit & tries to review before tests, but again just gets off topic.
Dr. Adams is a nice and funny professor. He cares about his students for sure. His tests can be quite tricky, however, if you read the notes and your book, you should be okay. A&P is a difficult class so don't expect to make an A without studying. He gives us a few take home tests that do help out our grades and his final is not comprehensive.
I have mixed feelings about Dr. Adams. Hes very caring, actually the most caring professor Ive ever had! Lectures were interesting I felt like I learned and understood. I studied & felt confident until I saw his exams... very tricky. Labs are like lecture. I could have made an A, but like I said his exam were a challenge for me.
Professor Adams is a very caring and funny guy, however, his tests are extremely difficult and tricky and for someone who never fails tests I managed to do that in his class. Getting an A felt nearly impossible even with all the extra credit done
Dr. Adams is a great person who has a wonderful ability to connect with students which is great for teaching. The only problem is that he can't teach. His lectures are extremely hard to follow as he loses focus often, and then when you get the test you recognize absolutely nothing. Hes an easy grade because he give out 3 test. Will not learn.
Honestly, don't know why Dr. Adams has such good ratings HIS TESTS HARD. Took him over summer, tests: 2 in class, 1 take home, 1 open book(it was the final & hardest one). Also, the lectures are not interesting because they are from his notes and it's easy for your mind to wander. But he is a great person! I loved talking to him!
Hes changed his teaching style, from what i heard his class used to be easy. 2 take home test and 3 in class test, the take home test arent worth as much as the in class test. He let us use a note card on the test, the class still failed. He doesnt teach from a power point he reads from PAPERS. If i knew what i know now i wouldn't have taken him.
Adams is a true blessing. Im not gonna lie his test are extremely hard. He teaches from papers so use your text book for clarity. Omg he gives so much extra credit, super understanding and really wants you to make it. I wouldnt take him again only because his in class test were so hard. You get 3 take home test and extra credit is negotiable
Had Adams for both A&P 1 and 2. He is a very knowledgable, personable, and fantastic professor! I already have a BS but Adams taught better than any other professor I had. I don't get why people are saying his tests are so hard when they're literally straight from his notes. As long as you study his notes, the tests are easy!
Professor Adams has been the most helpful and understanding professors that I have ever had. I truly struggled in this class, but he is more than willing to help you and gives you a second chance if needed. There are TAKE HOME TEST(S) and OPEN NOTE FINAL(S)!!!! If you are wanting to learn as well as be put to your limits this is the class for you!!
Fair professor. There are NO OPEN NOTE FINALS or TAKE HOME TESTS (so Im not sure why someone said that) He writes needed information on the white board and students copy them into our notebook. Get ready for your hand to hurt, you WILL be writing notes the entire class period. If you dont study youll regret it. Does not give out review sheets.
His tests were extremely hard and not just because of the class. His questions didn't make any sense and they would have spelling and grammar flaws which made it hard to understand. He didn't use his time very well either
His test are extremely hard. I would try to avoid him. However his notes are extremely useful but testing wise is a bit to hard to handle. Hes a great teacher who loves his profession. I feel like he was easier past years, he may have changed up his teaching style to now were its pretty difficult and challenging. Good luck !
Dr. Adam was an amazing professor and he did offer lot of extra credit too. He is good at details on lecture. His tests was pretty hard but you must study harder this class.
DO NOT TAKE ONLINE!!! Worst decision I ever made. Especially if you have no prior knowledge you will not understand a thing and you will be very lost. Exams are proctored and the videos he send barely helps. His notes help a little. You will literally be teaching yourself the whole time.
Loved Adams as a person, but his tests were absolutely brutal. The lectures did not match up to the test AT ALL, and even with the tests being open text/open note, you could not get much help there either. Furthermore, he was very difficult to reach by email, even if you emailed multiple times. Would love to have a coffee with him though!
Great guy, awful instructor--tests did NOT match content presented--purchase of optional text (Tortora) ineffective--open notes/book test format did not help as tests covered material not presented ANYWHERE in lecture/notes or accessible (even via internet)
Dr. Adams wants you to succeed! He will take his time explaining everything with you until you fully understand. Exams are tuff but he goes over everything that will be on exams prior. KNOW THE MATERIAL & STUDY!! The questions on exams will make you think. He offered extra credit. Weekly Review Sheets are manageable but use the extra time to STUDY!
DO NOT TAKE!! I took online class and I got so lost to the point I gave up and planning to retake the class. If you dont want to fail then just dont take him!
If you want to pass, DO NOT take him. You have to be a rocket scientist to pass. His following is horrible. He misses grading some of my assignments and would not give me a grade for them. You email him to ask for feedback. He says, what up!
He is very good professor, I took him this summer and the fact he takes his time to review before his exams is awesome, His exams are fair, extra credit and he is also very considerate. Would definitely recommend.
Wonderful professor, very animated and you can tell he's passionate about what he does. Exams are difficult, but doable as long as you study hard enough. Tends to give extra credit assignments as well.
Please do yourself the favor and TAKE THIS MAN! He is an amazing professor, he explains very well, he's funny. He's easy to talk to when you are having trouble with anything. He does the best he can to help you pass the class. This was my second attempt at APII and I wish I would have known about him the first time. He's truly a great professor!!
Listen,this is literately not my first time taking a&p,hard but he makes it easy. Lab are multiples choice which other prof do fillin the blanks which are very hard. He allows you to use your notes in finals, always very understanding in turning in hw late.He's like a father figure in a prof that care very much about his stu&making sure they pass.
THIS IS THE BEST PROFESSOR I HAVE EVER HAD! PLZ TAKE HIM!
He is an excellent professor I have ever met so far.I will recommend him amillion times.
He is very caring and a great professor
Dr. Adams is one of the BEST professors at TCC. He is caring, understanding, funny, and gives clear instruction. I have never had a teacher that is so compassionate and actually cares to see their students pass. Do not hesitate to take him for A&P!!!!
Great professor! This was my second time taking a&p, by far the best class I have taken at tcc. He was extremely understandable, caring, and professional. He, not only made sure every one of us understood what was going on with a specific chapter we were covering, but also made sure everyone was successful in this class. I highly highly recommend!
I loved this professor! By far one of the best I have had at southeast. This was my first time taking anatomy and I was so nervous, but he did an excellent job with teaching. He offers extra credit and makes sure to cover everything on the exam and everything beyond. Could not have asked for a better professor. Take him, seriously!
He is a great professor and he's very dedicated to teaching his class the tools they need to succeed. He provides great feedback and analogies that are needed to make you apply them to real life scenarios. This comes in handy when you are given a question and you need to found out something. He will instill these learning values inside your brain.
Great Professor! He is extremely understandable, professional, and caring. He is very dedicated to teaching his class. He also offers extra credit and sometimes allows you to use notes during exams!
He's understandable and makes sure you learn the material! you might have an exam or 2 that will be open book :)
I have him for summer 2 ap2 class and he was amazing. He took time to explain concepts that were important. He gave one extra credit opportunity. Lab exams were straightforward from review sheets and labs. Lecture exams were more tricky. But our class went over all the exam answers with him and he ended up curving all of the exams.
I took his class in 2022. He was friendly. However, he some of test keys were wrong, so make sure to always go over exam answers with him. Some test questions were worded tricky and we had one extra credit opportunity. Overall, he was still one of the better professors I had.
Dr. Adams is the kindest teacher you will ever have. He cares about your grade and will help you through all your assignments. Gives clear instructions and teaches material well. Tests are also fun and one might be open book!
Overall, Professor Adams was a great professor. He has a kind heart, warm personality and genuinely wants to help you succeed!He gets a little distracted sometimes but it is not a big issue. I would love to take him again if I could. Last couple tests were open note/book too!
Doctor Adams was a great professor and one of the best professor I've ever had in my college career so far. He was as good as it gets when it came to teaching and no one did it better then him. I took him in both AP1 and AP2 and would take him again If I figured out If he teaches something else.
Professor Adams is a caring instructor who wants you to succeed. His classes can be a bit unstructured, but open-book exams and helpful review sessions make up for it. unstuck ai proved a great study tool alongside the textbook.
A super caring, compassionate professor. He is very much lecture heavy, so be sure to attend them. He does provide a powerpoint of the lectures and what is discussed there will be on the exams. The "homework" are the labs; which are important for the lab exams. Lectures only consist of lecture exams. He wants his students to pass. Would take again.
Dr. Adams is the best professor I've taken. The notes were directly put into the exams & were posted on Canvas. Labs were easy, 3 exams, 12 review sheets and sometimes goes over the answers in class. If you study the lab manual and pay attention you should be able to get an A. He gives 1 extra credit for 25 points and one of the exams is open note.
I love Dr. Adams with his funny and quirky personality. His lectures and labs were informative. When the exams came, the questions were confusing. All were multiple choice, and you had to think outside the box before you input your answer. Ensure you are studying not just basic terms but the understanding part as well.
Cool personality and lecturer but the course itself was set up with not as much care as lots of the information needed is packed in one document per topic and can get off topic during lectures. Wish more assignments for understanding were handed out or made.
Kind guy! Had for lab. Rarely hands on activities/dissections, so learning experience takes a hit. Tests are harder than expected. DON'T rely too much on review sheets! Exams are multiple choice (1 short answer bonus at end) but very confusing & worded tricky if u don't have good understanding of material. Take photos of notes on the board!
Professor Adams is a such a compassionate instructor. He was always willing to assist with any questions or concerns. His lectures and lab exams challenged us to think critically, so reviewing the study guides thoroughly was essential. He occasionally offered extra credit. Overall he was fantastic and I highly recommend taking his class.
Dr. Adam's is a very nice and caring professor if you have any questions or concerns he is open to answering it as it will benefit your success in the class. This is anatomy and physiology so it won't be easy but as long as you study hard and listen to what he says to focus on you will do good! Don't be afraid to ask questions and study hard!
He was the GOAT of the SOUTH EAST CAMPUS - we will never forget you Prof Adams.
