Dr.J explains the on-line class so that you know exactly what to expect. Very prompt in responding to inquiries. When he says drill, drill, drill , he's right on the money.
Mr. Armstrong was a first-rate teacher. He always promptly answered questions I had and made himself available. He made a diligent effort to encourage the students to study their notes and workbooks and he was so right. Great course. I learned a lot.
Top notch professor who deserves kickback or at least some percentage of all the healthcare workers he teaches. Great class that I will miss going to! Thanks
Had Mr. Armstrong for three science classes by choic. He is the ultimate in Instructors. Learned and enjoyed.
Mr. Armstrong has been a FANTASTIC,professor! I have had him for both A&P I/II. He is informative,helpful,supportive,and a great sense of humor. I will always be grateful for such enlightment!!!
Excellent instructor, brings an enthusiasm that rubs off on you!
Mr. Armstrong was helpful when I requested help. More guidance at the start of class would have helped.
Everything required for this class was extremely well defined and required no additional questions from me. Professor Armstrong allowed freedom to take the course on our own time schedule, but he also kept us informed of where we should be.
I had a lot of trouble with the class itself but everytime I was finished with a test I would recieve an email asking if I needed help and encouraging me to do better. I never felt like I was a lost cause and that is what helped me get through it.

Mr. Armstrong was an excellant professor. He allowed alot of flexibility within the course but kept us on track with announcements. He is very accessible for help and encourages students to participate in discussion boards.
Mr. Armstrong was very nice and helpful with all my questions. I took this class online and was one of the first times I took a class online and he made it very easy to understand how everything worked. I would take another class that he teaches again
Great teacher, class was easy to do well in. Quick responses to e-mails.
I would definetly recommend Armstrong to other students!
Mr. Armstrong was a very helpful and always answered questions quickly. The course is easy and he is relaxed with time lines, but you have to do the work to get good grade. I am hoping to take my Microbiolgy class with him in the fall!
Mr. Armstrong was very helpful! If you had a question he would get with you within a day! This class was hard for me, but with his help and explanations to my questions I passed with a B!
I took this class online and was pleased with all the support, encouragement and time-keeping that Mr. Armstrong supplied. I enjoyed the thought provoking 'science-in-real life' situations questions that he offered for extra credit.
He's really helpful and nice!
great
It was great!!! He was great!!!
Great Teacher! Definitely recommended!
Mr. Armstrong is an excellent professor! A lot of material and you need to work for the A, but Mr. Armstrong makes it interesting and fun. I enjoyed going to class.
Mr. Armstrong was a great teacher for this online class. He always responded quickly to questions via email, and offered fantastic discussion questions for posting. I would love to have him for an instructor again.
Mr. Armstrong is a great teacher. I highly recommend taking his course over other professors. He makes things clear and you know exactly what you need to do at all times. The syllabus is very easy to follow and comprehend.
Mr. Armstrong had great communication. He also was very fair in grading and had some very interesting discussion questions. I would love to work with him again!
Very relaxed attitude, but a lot of work! Great class, great teacher! Learned a lot!
What I really liked about this class is knowing what was going to be on the exams. This helped to somewhat narrow all the information down into smaller chunks.
He was very willing to work with me at anytime i needed it.
Always words of encouragement and helpful in responding to e-mails in a timely fashion.
The instuctor was very responsive when questions were asked.
Great class, I learned a lot. Kept us on our toes to make sure we were ready for exams. Great job on feedback comments. No negative comments here!!!
Very good instructor. Although the class was on-line, instructor kept in contact with emails. His choice of CD's versus textbook was excellent.
What a great instructor. JA ROCKS...and he looks like a movie star...TAKE HIS CLASS!!!!
He is very good at what he does
Fantastic teacher! Funny, relaxed atmosphere..encourages students to rate him. Good information yet challenging in a good way. Would definitely take again!
Excellant teacher!! Very into giving the "jist" of things rather than spouting of the terms only. If you are a procedural type learner he is the teacher for you as he explains thing very well. Keeps you informed of upcoming assignments and makes you stay on track. HE ROCKS!!!
This teacher is AWESOME!! Has one hell of a personality and really makes you want to learn the material. I couldnt wait to get to class everyday! Because of him, I cant wait to enter the medical field in the future of career! Take this teacher if you are doing this class! VR
Mr. A. is an excellent teacher. If you are going into the medical field, your career would not be complete if you missed out on taking him. He is phenomenal!! He teaches to you in laymans terms so you can grasp the subject in a whole different way. I can't say enough great things about this man.
Mr.A was an excellent instructor. He was my teacher during the recent hurricanes so we missed ALOT of class. He was very helpful and he wanted everyone to succeed. Great person and awesome instructor!!!
Professor Armstrong is the best Science instructor that I have ever had! I have never been able to grasp science, but this course actually turned me into a science nut! I now go online in search of articles relating to genetics, evolution, and the enviroment! Many thanks to Professor Armstrong!!!
Mr. Armstrong is what a teacher is supposed to be! He is there to help you learn, he wants you to understand it and do well. Unlike some teachers, who you feel are out to get you! He is so personable and makes learning fun! I looked forward to his class every day!
Mr.Armstrong is a wonderful teacher! Anatomy and Physiology 1 is a hard and demanding class in it self, but Mr.Armstrong makes it less scary. I myself and not a "honor student", but more of an "average student" and he really gave me hope. I left his class feeling good about myself and loving science
Mr. Armstrong was there for me at all times, even during hurricanes. I appreciate his help and would take one of his classes before any ather instructor.
Mr. Armstrong is a wonderful teacher. He makes anatomy interesting. I learned so much in his class. I recommend him highly.
Mr. Armstrong is one of the best professors I have ever had. He takes a subject that can be very dificult and he doesn't rest until you understand. He takes boring topics and turns them into funny and interesting things. He is the best! Every professor sho
He is a wonderful teacher
Very good teacher. Highly recommended. Gives quizes and good test previews. Study notes and handouts then you will do fine on tests.
Mr. Armstrong is the MAN!! I love this guy!! If you need to take ANY upper level science courses, try your best to take him!! Mr. Armstrong RULES!!
hard material to learn, awsome teacher, very understanding, has a heart for each one of his students, and also very funny! Take this teacher!
Great instructor!!
Had for both Human Anatomy I and II. Awesome teacher with great ability to relate to most all students. Very realistic expectations and grasp on course contents. You can't make this stuff easy, but he'll work as hard as you do to get what you want out of the course.
John Armstrong is one of the best instructers at Brevard Community College (B.C.C.). That may seem like a fairly common statement but remember that B.C.C. is ranked 24th out of all community colleges nationwide. The course is not easy and you will have to work for your grade but John is there to help your everystep.All I can say is "Thank you John"
I had this guy for A&P 1 and 2. He is an amazing teacher and probably one of the coolest guys I've ever met. He has a down to earth attitude and a fun teaching style. These classes are by no means easy but he goes above and beyond when it comes to helping out his students. If you're looking for a fair, kind teacher for A&P. This is the guy for you.
Totally my worst subject. My first online class. Proffesor was totally cool about all aspects/difficulties. Always available and rapid response to emails.AAA+++
Mr. Armstrong was one of the best teachers I have ever had. Very understanding,easy to talk to, and overall is just a great person. As cheesie as it sounds, he puts you in a better mood just being in class with him. I really like the fact that, when it came to grading, he really factored in how hard you tried and not just the numbers.
This is the best teacher I have ever come in contact with! He is so attentive in all aspects of the course and I would recommend him to anyone, especially anyone who has trouble in science. He is very dedicated to his students and willing to work harder so that his students understand all of the material. Thank you, Mr. Armstrong!

I have never flew through biology so easily until I took it with Mr. Armstrong. He is a very understanding teacher and nice guy. If you arent good in biology then you should take it with him. I took it online and it was pretty easy.
I highly recommend Mr. Armstrong. He is very calm, collective, enthusiastic, and passionate about teaching. He compares the material to everyday events or common knowledge which makes learning more fun and easy. Also, he doesn't put himself on a pedestool like some teachers. He is understanding and is with you all the way! And great sense of humor!
very good teacher
Very helpful-enjoys teaching & students. Gives good advice on school path/tools beyond subject. PROACTIVE "and stuff like that"! Way on level with students. Wish all teachers were as thoughtful. Smart and caring. Sometimes funny. Talks lots but never drones.
Great instructor! Very helpful and understanding.
Took the hybrid class, attended once a week for lab and test reviews. Also, available is the web cast and mp3 downloads of his lectures which was very helpful for this class.
Mr. Armstrong without a doubt was one of my favorite teachers because he is an all around nice guy, friendly, and extremely helpful professor that I have ever had. It was actually fun to go to class because he always had a story to tell that went on through his week and taught in the same time frame. He made a lot of the info. very clear.
I took AP 2 hybrid. Mr. Armstrong is so laid back and nice, and he talks to you like an individual and not as a whole. He does alot of one on one help, and is always willing to help. I loved the class and found it very helpful and interesting. He is one of the best teachers i've had in awhile, and i leard alot in this class.
Great teacher. Difficult material but he will work his butt off trying to make sure you understand it. Proof is in the quality of his website. You know that took some time and dedication.
There is a lot of work involved, but overall it was a great class. Dr. Armstrong is not kidding when he says drill the lessons. If you do the excercizes you will do great.
TOTALLY recommend taking him for A&P!! He does everything he can to ensure that you get as high a grade as he can get by with giving you. I found his quizzes very helpful in keeping me on track with studying. I took the hybrid course, and still got an A. Study both the online notes and the notes from the packet, and you will do fine.
Lots of quizzes help with grade, and in test prep; outstanding online aids. Makes difficult concepts understandable. A reasonable, personable and down-to-earth professor with an ability to teach the human body like no one else! No surprises. Definite recommend!! Five star professor!!
Mr. Armstrong is the best professor I have ever had! I would recommend him to all! His explanations and teaching concepts are by far the best I have ever seen! He is extremely understandable, helpful, dedicated, and willing to help all students in any way that he possibly can! He goes out of his way to make our lives as students easier! He is Aweso
It truly was an awesome class. He was one of the best college professor's I have ever had.
Mr Armstrong is the best teacher I have ever taken he related everything to real life examples and tried to help you the best he could. He was always there to help. He makes Anatomy fun and interesting. TAKE HIM!! you will have a blast
Prof.A is an awesome teacher. would not recomend that you take anyone else for A&P as long as he is teaching it. all i really had to do was listen to his lectures and look over diagrams and models to acheive a grade of A. this ease is due completely to his superior teaching ablities and not to the course content which is really quite intense.
What a knowledgeable instructor! His class was lively, informative and very fair. I would recommend him to any student, period.
If you can find a course with Mr. Armstrong as the teacher, take it! He's a great instructor and very engaging. I had him for A&P II hybrid and he'll give you as much or as little help as you could want. Stick around after class and chat with him, he's also pretty interesting.
I took Fund. Of Biology online w/ this professor and he was great. It was WAY easier than I thought it would be. Words to the wise: save your practice quiz's bc the test questions come DIRECTLY from them. the Discussion Boards are always very interesting too and actually fun to do. I definatley recommend Mr. Armstrong.
Excellent professor. Uses thinkwell.com as the textbook for online classes, which is a great source. He is very flexible and the course layout is very clear. He responds to questions very quickly and is helpful and kind. I learned a lot in his class and enjoyed Biology. I highly recommend taking his classes.
Armstrong is great, he will do whatever it takes to help you pass.
Easy class, just pay attention and study the lecture packets. He can get off track during lectures, but he is entertaining.
Excellent teacher. The subject matter is challenging, but he explains everything really clearly. Seriously, if you ever have a chance to take one of his classes I can't reccomend it enough!
Easiness rating is only due to the fact that the subject is difficult. He explains everything very thoroughly and will always go back if you don't understand. His fun explanations help you remember (sodium rushes in!) and he will do anything that will help you out in his class. Fantastic teacher!
A wonderful teacher! Its a challenging class but he makes it extremely easy. Attend lectures and you will be fine. You Rock Mr. Armstrong
For Anatomy and Physiology II you can't gpo wrong with Mr. Armstrong. He gives you every opportunity to get an A if you are motivated. His lectures are detailed but conveyed using real life examples and just the right amount of humor. His course isn't easy but if you want help he's there for you.
A&P is not a very easy class, but Mr. Armstrong is always there to help you fully understand without making you feel stupid for asking a question.
BEST EVER! I took him in '05. His teaching method really helped the material stick when it was built upon in nursing school. He is like your best friend teaching you a pretty tough course, which makes it a good learning environment. I still drop by to keep in touch.
I loved this class! very interesting and I learned so much. Tests were pretty challenging but if you know your stuff, they're not that bad. He is very helpful and axplains everytihng thouroughly. Best class I have ever taken. I was actually sad when it ended.
A&P 2 is very hard. He simplifies this subject for his students. I enjoyed taking this class with him and I too, was sad when it ended. I took the hybrid course and that was tough but he was very helpful in helping me understand the subject matter. Take him if you actually want to understand and learn anatomy and physiology! Great teacher!
Excellent professor! It is not an easy class, but you actually LEARN the material. Prof. Armstrong is extemely helpful and flexible, and one of my favorite professors. ...really knows his stuff. Take his class for A&P 2!
So easy to talk to when you don't understand something and always available during office hours.
MAKE SURE YOU ARE IN CLASS.TAKE ADVANTAGE OF WHAT HE PUTS UP ON ANGEL.IT HELPS.!! GREAT TEACHER!
Prof Armstrong is not only a very dedicated instructor but also a really nice guy! His video lecture captures were extremely helpful to me. I would recommend him to anyone pursuing Anatomy 2!
Mr. armstrong is a great prof!! He spelled everything out from his expectation to test reviews. He was also willing to work with me and to help with scheduling conflicts. If he taught any other classes i would jump at the chance to enroll.
Mr Armstrong rocks!!!!!he is very knowledgeable and knows how to teach material very well!! His notes in class are exactly what u need to study to pass the class he also gives an optional extra credit that helped me out in the end. He is very funny and makes the 2 and a half hour class easy going to be in he makes A&P2 fun and easy to learn!!!!
I sooooooooo enjoy Prof. Armstrong's class, excellent instructor, espically explaining A&P concepts. Well organized and has great study outlines. Miss a class don't worry, has great on-line lectures to help out. Prof. Armstrong has a great personality, down to earth kind-a guy and encourages his students to succeed.
Great teacher! He gives a lot of lecture and writes notes as he talks (study those - you'll do great on tests). Sometimes he can get side tracked with the topics, but he still is a wonderful teacher and the course is enjoyable with him, he truly wants everyone to be successful. Gives extra credit for volunteering!
Mr. Armstron is a very helpful teacher!!! He's explains in details and is patient enough to go thru it with you if you still dont understand. His tests are not bad if you study for them lol and there's a trick to it too. He alway stress' that you shuould study for the test when you're studying for the quiz, and the quizes aren't important but they
Anatomy 2. This teacher is great. The class was fun. This class does require you to study however prior to each test he reviews what will be on test. Also removed 2 of the lowest quiz grades. All tests and quizes are multiple choice, lab quizes are mulitple choice but you still must study. You must take this teacher if you want an A or B.
I had Him for A&P 2, he was a great teacher I loved him and loved his class!! If you have to take A&P Make sure you take him!
Had this hybrid A&P2, loved the class, captured lectures are a little long, but overall, an A+ teacher.
Great Teacher. No need to buy the expensive book...he gives pictures and diagrams and his own notes you can print off Angel. One of the best teachers I've had at BCC.
Mr. Armstrong is a really good teacher who knows his stuff. He is funny, helpful and clear with what he expects. This class will only be hard if you don't study like you should!
He's very helpful, follows up on students. Really wants them to do well and strives to try and help them. The workload was pretty high, tons of video lectures to watch and labs to do online. Fell behind and he withdrew me from the class to prevent a bad grade on my record. Will definitely be retaking the class next semester with Prof. Armstrong.
I took him for online Intro to Biology class. We used Thinkwell.com and online lab through Angel. His test material was CRYSTAL clear. He only pulled test questions from Thinkwell exercises, so I made lots of computer based flashcards for the tests and got all As. 2 proctored tests. The lab quizzes you get two tries. Anyone can do well if you study
There is no teacher I'd rather have than Mr. Armstrong. He's a Jimmy Buffet-type dude with huge teaching experience and patience like you wouldn't believe. Very knowledgeable and spices up the class with anecdotes. Numero Uno!
Mr A is such a great teacher. The class is difficult, a lot of info, but read and study, pay attention in class, you should get a good grade. Reviews for tests are right on. I recorded lectures and reviews on my phone to study from later which I found very helpful. Take Mr. Armstrong! He wants his students to succeed!He is a breath of fresh air!!
Loved Professor Armstrong. He was very clear on assignments and what to expect on tests. He went over whatever you needed help on over and over if you need him to. This class requires a lot of studying but this professor is a must have, he know's what he is talking about!
Mr. Armstrong is one of the best professors at BCC. While the material is not easy, he makes it fun and interesting. Studying is necessary, but he gives you all of the tools you need to succeed. I took the hybrid class and it was excellent. All of the class notes and lectures are provided on Angel. This was an excellent class.
I took this class as a hybrid and really enjoyed it. Mr. Armstrong makes sure you understand what you will be tested on. His lectures are very clear and informative. I would highly recommend him to any student going through A&P.
I LOVE HIM! He's so helpful and made learning hard material more interesting and fun! I wish all teachers were like him. He was easy to understand and made sure you knew what to expect on the test. I recommend him! <3
Loved this class. Prof Armstrong was great. I love the discussion questions the most as they make you think. He was very knowledgeable and always got back to you real quick. It is a quite a bit of work but it was a great class and you get to work at your own pace, and all the tests questions come from the study tests.
Amazing professor! So helpful and he truly cares about his students. I have never had a professor that really truly cared the way that he does. He is funny and is good at explaining. The course is not easy but he makes it as easy as he can by going over exam questions before the exam so you know what to expect. Definitely recommended!!!
You have to take MR. Armstrong! He knows his stuff and is so helpful any time you need help!
I had Mr. Armstrong for Biology online. His instructions were clear and concise so I always knew what was expected. Difficult material for me, but still passed. He responded quickly to emails and truly wanted us to pass. Discussion questions were the best. Great teacher.
Mr. Armstrong was an amazing teacher. He gives you your assignments and lets you work on them at your own pace, which is extremely helpful when you have a lot going on. His practice tests are the key to acing your actual tests and he always gives you feedback which is a great confidence booster.
Such a good instructor! Actually felt sad when the semester was over , would recommended anyone to take him for any class he offers.
Lectures were concise and clear. As with any class, what you put into it is what you get out of it, however I felt like he was more interested in actual teaching then many instructors I have had in the past. He was organized, helpful and available. I would strongly recommend this class to anyone needing AP2.
This is a really intense and time consuming class. Professor Armstrong is the best teacher I have ever had. He is passionate about teaching everything his students need to know to be successful in this class. With every good grade i received I could tell that he was equally as happy to see me succeed. Difficult class but he is the man for the job
Professor Armstrong is one of my favorite professors. He is passionate about what he teaches and is really clear and concise with what he is teaching. There is no extra fluff, he gets straight to the point. As long as you study you will get a great grade in this class. AP2
I loved Mr. Armstrong. He is the most helpful and caring teacher that I've ever had. He will spend as much time as you need to help you understand the material and get the grade. He's a class act and a genuine person. He's not bent on being the hardest teacher, he just wants to see you succeed. I had a great time and learned a lot!
All notes and lectures are available online. He goes over EVERYTHING that will be on the tests. Always willing to help and answer questions.
Mr. Armstrong is by far the best teacher at Eastern Florida. His class is difficult, but that is expected for this type of class. So long as you study, you will do great on the tests. He gives you everything you need for the tests, and even does a verbal review after each section (recording that was very helpful). I loved him!
This class was great to take as a filler online. All work was online videos followed by quizes. Print off the notes and quizes and study those for your tests and you have an A all the way.
Greatest teacher ever! Subject is tough but he explains it clearly. You will still be required to studied and earn that A but he tells you exactly what you need to know to get the A. He cares about your success. Hint:voice record the test overview, this really helps.
Mr. Armstrong is the most human teacher of all time. He genuinely cares personally about every student. We had a hurricane situation and he altered the class to make sure we could handle both. He personally messages every student to congratulate or inspire them after every unit. He is beyond kind/caring/helpful. He wants you to do well.
Mr. Armstrong is a great professor and very laid back. Often he is funny and cracking jokes with the class. He references his personal life in situations when lecturing a lot. This helps me retain the information better because I can directly correlate it into real life. He gives plenty of lab time and test breakdowns. I would recommend him.
He tells you every time - DRILL THE THINKWELL EXERCISES!!! Just do the review of the thinkwell exercises and upload them to quizlet (or search). It is all broken down into 4 Units. Each unit is a test & 2 discussions. Discussions were interesting; just get those out of the way in the beginning of each unit. Only 1 proctored test.
Took this online. Course is broken into 4 units. Each unit consists of 2 discussions, 1-2 lab/quizzes, and an exam. Exam questions come directly from the Thinkwell exercises - have a copy of them handy. Only 1 exam is proctored. Easy filler class.
All around one of the ultimate best teacher at EFSC
