he was really helpful his class was bit challenging but you really understand the class and he is really dynamic, asking and making sure you are learning.
Professor was very helpful. He is very thorough when it comes to explaining and grading, but at the same time is fair. I enjoyed the class very much and learned a great deal of things that are not on anatomy textbooks, since he shares to the class interesting real life experiences
Very nice guy. He seems tough at first, but is helpful if you also help yourself. You do need to study, but there are opportunities for extra credit. Sometimes he goes a little fast, but if you don't understand something, make sure you stop and ask him to clarify.
At first Professor Garcia is very tough but understanding. If you come to class and you do all your work, study hard, and complete all the assignments you are sure to pass this class with flying colors.
Absolutely amazing! A lot of extra credit opportunities and very helpful! You must study outside of class, but he is always willing to lend an ear to his students and be there in any way he can. I took him for 2085 and got an A, and I'm excited about taking 2086. You will take a ton out of his class that will help you in the rest of your career.
He can't spell, is messy with his online tutoring website and never answers your questions directly, you never know where to study from: powerpoint, book, tutoring site
His exams are straight from the online quizzes. The class couldn't be easier. The only remotely difficult part were the quizzes, so just listen in class. He gives you EVERYTHING.
I can't believe a lot of these comments. He is literally the most awful professor at miami dade I've ever had. Everyone I've spoken to currently in this class feels the same way. Maybe this is his first A&P2 class. I don't know but he is rude, late to class ALL THE TIME, doesn't answer questions directly, confusing test questions & inconsistent.
Great professor, very clear with his lectures and provides online quizzes and homework that are extremely helpful when it comes to the exams. Good at explaining concepts and makes it easy by relating it to everyday things/funny mnemonics.
He is wonderful. I learned a lot from his class. always willing to help you.i recommend him totally.
take him if you really wants to learn about this class. Amazing professor. He really knows the material and enjoy teaching. he always stays after class to explain doubts. i recommend him 100%
Prof. Garcia is awesome!! Great for auditory/visual learners like myself. But being able to memorize as many terms, anatomical structures, and functions as possible is key to doing well. Professor Garcia also has a great sense of humor and verbally engages you during his lectures which I loved. Highly recommend!!! (you will need the txtbk)
Dr. Garcia has been the best prof. that I have taken in quite a while. I usually take course at FIU so I have enough to compare with, and I must say he is excellent! He knows his subject very well & is able to lecture with without constantly referring to the book/ power points. He uses alot of repetition in order to help you remember. TAKE HIM !
I highly recommend prof. Garcia. He likes to make sure you know your stuff. you cant expect to sit back and relax and ace the course. take him and you wont regret it if you also do your part
do your part which means go to class, listen, study, and you will def. learn and pass. Dr. Garcia has a great sense of humor making the class environment fun TAKE HIM!
My review did not save the first time, TAKE this professor. He is awesome. Very helpful. I got an A ,if you take his class you can't get less than a B unless you didn't study or do your homework. Do your homework it will help you for your test. Also he gives reviews before exams which are awesome. The reviews is exactly what u need to know!
It's a hard course to take overall but he makes it better. You have to review his power points after class.
Honestly, the best Professor I have ever had very very intelligent, and genuinely wants his students to understand what he understands I have learned a great deal from him and the fact that he's really smart and funny makes him hot...
Honestly, he is the best Professor I have ever had He is very very intelligent, and genuinely wants his students to understand what he understands He breaks down information in a great way and the fact that he is really smart and funny makes him hot...
he is a great professor! he knows his material and explains it in such a way that you remember and understand what he is talking about. he is fair with his grading and the test are semi difficult. but he does give a review at times. I would definitely take his class A&p before he becomes a doctor to get a fairly easy A. **Attend the lectures**
AnP 2 Hard class, Attendance is mandatory, Lectures are not easy to understand if you slack off you will get lost on the second day. Quizzes are HARD! Tests are easy (from scorenet). Writing notes is almost impossible he speaks and change slide to fast. He Helps A LOT, get 3 A's on 3 test you don't take final. PREPARE TO STUDY A LOT, i got an A.
You need to read ( in any biology class you need to if you want to gain knowledge ) but keep it simple, basic concepts. He will explain harder to understand concepts, so attendance is important. Good reviews for tests. Just keep up with the syllabus on your reading and you will do great.
He is amazing . Get ready to study because this lecture is not easy , but profesor Garcia will help you . He's explain really good a little bit faster but he knows what's his talking ,Super intelligent .
He is an amazing professor. Really helps you understand the concepts and helps you with words or phrases to remember the terms. I wished all my anatomy classes where with him.
I did not enjoy his class at all. Syllabus wasn't clear at all so we had no idea when our exam dates were. If you don't catch on to what he's saying quick enough he'll make a rude remark or act super sarcastic, if you can pick a different professor please do so. The only good thing is that his tests are straight from scorenit.
Awesome! If you pay attention, you're set.
Professor Garcia made my A&P II experience a smooth one. He explains everything thoroughly and is always makes it clear that he is available during his office hours. He encourages you to participate in class and keeps his lectures entertaining. You are expected to do homework as well as read more into depth on what he goes over in class.
Go to class, take notes, do you're homework and study from scorenit and you are guaranteed to pass.
Great professor, he really knows the material. If you show up to class, take notes and and study from scorenit you will pass.
Great at teaching physiology. You will thank him later in the program. You need to read because there is no time to cover everything.
If you want to learn take his class. He will help you if you show interest. Is very smart and know what he teaches.
Professor Garcia was really helpful, he makes the class interesting and recording his lectures really helped me. I definitely recommend this teacher. He gives a lot of opportunities to pass
He was great. The course was not an easy one. I mean, not the hardest class I've taken. But definitely not the easiest. He is SO helpful! He will go of his ways to make sure we understand. Try to take him on MWF classes if you are someone that can't take too much info at once. & GO TO CLASS. He has great PowerPoint notes, but it's not always enough
Professor Garcia knows what he's talking about, he gives quizzes which are a bit difficult. But, his reviews actually help with tests and scorenit helps with the test too! he is very helpful and gives you oppotunities to help raise your average class grade. Do your homework online, study hard and take notes in his lectures & you will for sure pass!
Great professor! I rated the difficulty at 4 because of the toughness of the subject but he makes the class feel like a 2.5-3. He explains everything thoroughly and encourages questions but you will still need to read the chapters. Do the HW and it helps boost your grade a lot. He even has his own powerpoints that he shares with you to help study.
This guy taught over at Broward. When I tell you, this is the WORST professor that you could ever take. The guy is a creep. He stares at the female students strangely. He picks favorites based on looks. He is extremely weird and the worst part is that you will learn absolutely nothing. Pop quizzes every class, DOES NOT keep track of grades TERRIBLE
Professor Garcia is very knowledgeable and professional. He is very caring and helpful. Do the homework online on scorenit and study the reviews online and you will do well in the exams. Attendance is important.
Literally the worst teacher I've ever had in my 16 years of education. He strolls in 10 minutes late every class in the most absurd outfits, does NOT respond to emails and chooses the days he wants certain rules to apply (attendance, etc). Honestly he's an absolute joke and you will walk away from this class learning nothing but the time you wasted
This is the best professor I have ever had at Miami Dade. The material for the class itself is difficult, but he does his best to make to understandable and fun. There are a lot of tests but each test is on very little material so they are easy to pass. Study and the class is easy.
Best professor I have ever had! I have learned so much from him, I am actually sad the class is over because I feel that he has so much knowledge that I can continue to learn from him! Very smart, very funny! Def would recommend his class! A+!
When it comes to make a class less stressful, very interesting, and fun, I gotta say professor Garcia is the best I've ever had on that. With him, for sure you'll learn. Just be aware of doing all the homework on time, study the terms for the exams he sent you, and for sure you'll pass with A. This class is hard, but he makes it a lot enjoyable.
First thing i must say he was late every class, 15 or 20 mins late, very smart guy but when he ask question you better know the answer because he'll look at you like if you were dumb, i had him for half summer senester and he just lectured which he was good at, he would skim thru the powerpoint, some material you have to learn on your own.
Informative and funny, his lectures are really helpful
Great professor, very few ones like that left at miami dade college. Would take again for sure.
Took professor for anatomy 1 and he was great and anatomy 2 was no different. Excellent teacher gives quizzes and online hw that helps prep for test. There are multiple test which is good because you can fail one and still get an A.
Very good professor
I ended his class with a B! He is extremely nice and always helps. But you need to study for this class, no doubt about that. This is not my major so I had to study a bit more, but overall hes a good professor. Hes very funny.
Professor Garcia is a funny, caring and great teacher. Prof. Garcia makes class interesting and fun. Homework is online using either Pearson system or Scorenit. Make sure to keep up with homework constantly because it will be your saving grace! Be persistent and aware of your grade and talk to him!! He is understanding but you do need to be on it
Hes the best professor in MDC! I passed this class with an A and thats me studying here and there. You just have to pay attention to his lecture. He gives you the power point so you can follow . The book is needed for you to read more into the topics . Online homework , 5 quizes and 5 exam all multiple choices .
This is the best teacher I have had! I will only take Anatomy 2 with him. He know his stuff and loves to teach it. He makes learning fun. He is young. He makes the lecture fun and interesting. You feel like your friend is teaching .
great professor! the fact that he loves what he does, makes him teach it with love making us the students very interested. he gives credit to those who answer his questions. the material is a lot and needs to be done within the semester, so he talks fast, but he doesn't mind slowing if needed, all you gotta do, is ask! love his class! gl all!
Best professor ever!! He is so knowledgeable about what he teaches. He is funny, caring and fair. If you attend class, participate, do the homework and study you will pass!! Looking forward to taking him next semester (BSC 2086).
Dr. Garcia is an amazing professor. No the class isnt easy, but you will definitely learn the information you need to know in order to excel in the medical field. Do your homework and study and youll be fine. Funny guy!
Professor Garcia was a great professor. He would always make sure that you understand the material before moving on to the next subject. He is very understanding and will help you no matter what. I highly recommend
Dr. Garcia is the one of the best professors I have ever had! He makes learning fun and only focuses on the topics he will be testing you one. If you do the study guides, you are guaranteed to ace the test. I genuinely enjoyed going to class because his lectures were so enjoyable and funny. He really cares about his students.
Awesome Professor! knows his stuff. Very clear grading criteria, this class is tough but if you put in the work you'll pass with an A. Taking him again for BSC 2086
Great professor
The best professor out there, he really cares if students are learning or not and he is consistently asking what he can do better to help us learn better. He always encourages students to work harder and be the best version of themselves. ��
Hes an awesome professor, hes not a slacker but he makes all the material understandable and makes the tests and quizzes totally doable with a little studying. Teamwork is the best for this class, study group sessions got myself and a lot of friends an A in the class. If you wanna be in the medical field for real, hell prepare you.
It was a pleasure having having Dr. Garcia. He is a little tough, but he teaches in a way so you can grasp the material. I kid you not, if you are not understanding a certain topic during the lecture he will stop and break it down for you. Anatomy is a rigorous subject, so it's important to study. 5 Exams, 5 quizzes & tons of MasteringA&P Online.
This professor tends to be disorganized with his lectures. He skips a lot of his powerpoints and expects you to know them anyway. Gives reviews, but don't correlate with the exams/quizzes. Quizzes are harder than the exams. Homeworks are a waste of time, they only boost your grade. Gives non-sense final project, if "study" hours are not completed.
Throws information quickly and expects you to grasp. Strong accent, and lack of proofreading on his exams and quizzes. Says he gives extra credit but he grades them instead. Skips lectures and forgets where we are in the class
Great professor! Yes, he might have a little accent but he is totally understandable. The lectures are not boring. He does go by his powerpoints & might skip one or two but he will always explain anything you don't understand. Always gives extra credit questions on exams/quizzes. He posts office hours & always available to work with you, He cares!
This man was one of my favorite professors in the three years that I've been in Miami Dade. He's so fun and really makes the material easy to understand. He doesnt make you feel stupid when you have a ton of questions and he's extremely helpful and understanding. We all loved him so much the whole class took BSC2086 with him as well.
Great professor who explained everything thoroughly. You do have to work for your grade but Prof. Garcia provides plenty of help and great lectures for you to understand the subject. I would definitely recommend him.
Professor Garcia was amazing. He breaks every single concept down in a way that makes it easy for you to understand, he cares a lot about his students and he gives extra credit on all exams/quizzes. It is anatomy, so you will have to study, but if you put in the work there is no way to fail with him!
Such a good experience ��
Excellent professor
He is a very good Professor!
My favorite professor from Miami Dade. He will help you whenever you need it and is always willing to do what is best for his students. He is very comfortable and funny, everyone gets along with him. Online HW and study guide are very very similar to quizzes and exams. Will definitely take him again for bsc2086 and lab
Dr. Garcia is an amazing professor! You learn so much in his class and if you understand his PowerPoints its an easy A! I recommend him to anyone. You will learn SO much!
It's easy to pass just study, his lectures are really good he goes into detail a lot. Attendance isn't that strict so you can miss a few classes and still be fine.
There are so many things I would like to say about this Professor, he is amazing and cares a lot about his students. He will go above and beyond for you to actually understand the material and is always avalible after class in his office if you have any questions. Will be taking him again for 2086. I promise you, this man does not disappoint.
Hes a good professor but you have to study A LOT. The test are not simple questions, you really have to know the material. So get ready.
By far the best professor I have had in Miami Dade College. I wish I could take all my classes with him. His lectures and labs are straight forward and easy to understand, he explains all the terms in ways that it makes a connection with your memory. Trust me you will not regret taking this professor. you still have to study though.
Class is pretty straightforward, 5 quizzes(15% of grade), 3 practicums(65% of grade), & homework worksheets from the laboratory manual (20% of grade). Keep in mind the homework from the laboratory manual is a lot.. I'm talking like 3+ packets for 1 homework. Dr. Garcia is truly a great a professor with an extensive medical background.
Excellent proffesor! Very understanding helps you if you talk to him! Make sure to do your hours of studying really helps boost grade at the end of the semester. Proffesor Garcia really cares for his students and you can tell he has a passion for what he teaches!
Anatomy and Physiology is a tough class , wouldnt recommend taking this class with many others. This is a great profesor and he implies the purpose of this course, to learn. Study for every quiz and tests.
Great professor! Study, Study, Study!! Hes very understanding and hes always available. Answers emails pretty quickly and he cares for his students, definitely taking him for BSC2086 :)
Best anatomy professor for lectures!! Had him for anatomy 1 & 2 and I wouldnt of had been able to pass without him. He presents the material really well & always explains it as many times as you need.
Best Anatomy professor at MDC, he really cares if youre learning. The labs are the best part of his teachings, recommenced taking him for lecture and lab.
This is my second class with him and I really like it he is a very good professor .if you dont miss class you will pass with a good great ,he give reviews and notes for the exam .
Professor Garcia is one of the best professors I've ever had, he makes the material easy to comprehend while cracking jokes! I'm taking him again for BSC 2086, he's the best!!!!!
Read slides before class. Answer his questions. Do his study guides for exams.
Great professor, take him!
I loved his class hes so funny and I was able to understand everything he taught! If you want to learn and take a class thats not too hard take him! Hes amazing!
Professor Garcia is an excellent profesional and person. He helps a lot to the students. I personally learned a lot.
Professor Garcia was very kind and knowledgeable, lectures werent boring but attendance is important for quizzes and tests but overall a great professor and class
Had him for 2085 Human anatomy lab and decided to take him for 2086. Best thing I ever did. If you have the option to take him for lab and lecture you wont regret. At times youre going to think its hard. But if you study and pay attention. Youll pass. Two thumbs up from me!
I took Garcia for BSC2085 and skipped an entire semester just to have the opportunity to take him for this class. Hes on point. Goes over material well. Can be a bit more organized but he makes up for it with the passion and care he has for his students. Also use ScoreNit
He is a very nice professor ,very honest in his job easy to understand
An awesome professor. He is very knowledgeable and fair.
Dr. Garcia is a great professor. You'll need to study a lot but if you do what you need you will pass. He always cares about his students. Explain pretty well. Test are kind of heavy, you need to understand the material. I will take him for Anatomy 2
He's really nice but a little disorganized. 3 practicums, 5 quizzes and homework packets you print out and turn in before your practicums. The class isn't too hard but definitely have to study for the exams. Don't sign up for the scorenit. completely useless. I paid $37 for it and I never got access nor a refund. sham company just study ppts.
thinks he's too cool for school. Do not purchase score nit, biggest scam. He ended up posting everything on blackboard.
HES COOL AND ALL BUT THE THING IS THAT HE TALKS REALLY FAST!!! gives a bUNCH of HW and there's a quiz basically every class. The class average was 74% so that should tell you a lot... take him if you don't have a job where you work a lot. I'm telling you its a lot of work but at least he's really cool
Hes really great
Hes an amazing professor he engages with students and makes the class fun. Im taking him again for Anatomy 2 lecture and lab because I literally love him.
Best professor I have ever had. He is very caring and wants the best for his students. I 100% recommend this class! You wont regret it
Dr. Garcia is honestly the best professor I have ever had. He is very good at explaining everything and he makes the class interesting and funny. His exams are a bit hard but if you study you will do good! I would definitely recommend him for both lecture and lab! I will be taking him for anatomy 2 as well. :-)
Best professor ever!!!
Anatomy is a hard class regardless of anything, but Prof. Gracia makes it interesting and tries his hardest to teach you the best he can. His lectures and power points are made very simple for students to understand and he is always there to help whenever you're confused. Only con would be that he does not go by schedule sometimes.
I took Prof. Garcia for both BSC2085 and BSC2086 with labs. He is the best Prof. for anatomy. Anatomy requires much studying and hard work, but Prof. Garcia is willing to help you through it and there are many tutors that work with him as well. MAKE A STUDY GROUP!!!!!! No matter the prof. you have to work for your A+, but he teaches the best.
its an easy class if you pay attention lectures are amazing and he always answers any questions you need.
Good Professor. Definitely have to study a lot for this class. Laid back, but most of the material on the test is never on the study guide and doesnt really go over information. A lot of do it on your own work.
Great professor ! Take his class and you WILL learn!
Really great professor, everything is made clear you just need to ask him.
I love Dr. Garcia, he's awesome. He cares about his student and is very understanding. It's a hard class but as long as you show up and pay attention in his lectures you'll be fine. Also he gives a lot of extra credit opportunities. He's the best, take him!
You wont regret if you take him, he is really good explaining and summarizing the chapters.
He made the class look easy using real life problems as examples which almost everyone could connect immediately
Professor Garcia is amazing! He is very understanding and works with you to make sure you grasp the material. He is very detailed and answers all/any questions you may have. He also gives extra credit which is great if you need that little push. Do the exam reviews and scorenit they are extremely helpful for exams and quizzes.
Show up to class and study for the quizzes using the Jeopardy powerpoints. For tests, do the exam review and look over the powerpoints and YouTube videos. It's a straightforward class.
Professor Garcia is the best professor I have ever had in college. I had him for both anatomy 1 and 2 both lecture and lab. He makes his lectures interesting and he is super funny. He really made my college experience a lot better :-)
he gives you a lot of homework, but still he is flexible and helps, with quizzes and tests he usually drops some questions which can help u a lot, learn? oh yes, I will remember stuff from this class maybe for life.
Really good professor, he will constantly ask for feedback during lecture to make sure youre understanding. He slows things down and uses real world scenarios for certain things so you could understand it better. That really helped me understand the subject better and I would definitely recommend him to people who arent familiar with anatomy.
He is the best! I took all my anatomy classes with him. Anatomy is a hard class but he makes it easy to understand. Take him you wont regret it.
Great teacher
I have taken BSC2086 lecture and lab and BSC2020 with Dr. Garcia, if you want to get yourself into the medical field, take him, the way he teach prepares you for the future, he gives you advice for you career, give you all the information you need, motivates you to learn and interact with people, I wish I could take my medical classes with him.
Professor Garcia is a great teacher , he goes in depth with his lectures and makes it interesting to learn. I will be definitely be taking his calls for anatomy 2. This class isn't the easiest , you DO HAVE TO STUDY HARD. I would say review the chapter he will teach before class on YOUTUBE.
He is a very good professor! As long as you do the work and is present at all classes. You will pass! He knows what he makes sure everyone understands the material that is given. Anatomy and physiology is not an easy class but having a great professor makes it just a little easier.
Dr. Garcia was an amazinggggg professor!!! Im taking him next semester for 2086. If youre looking for a prof that knows what hes teaching he is the one. You will work for your grade, but he makes it enjoyable. I loved every single one of his classes and cant wait for next semester!!
His tests can be hard but if you genuinely study for his tests then youll do great. It was a pleasure to have him for both 2085/ 2086 lecture & lab. He is the very best of MDC West, cares for his students and can be really funny. Definitely recommend his class because of his teaching styles.
Professor García is an excellent and concerned teacher, if you miss a class, you can watch it later on his YouTube channel. 4 quizzes and 3 tests. Review exams and extra credit. Respond the emails fast. A really good teacher.
Good professor. Class is very hard since it's very detailed. Tries to help his students with extra credit (volunteering or completing exam reviews) Exam reviews are super long. You won't pass the exams if you study a day before. He gives you like two weeks or so to study 2-3 chapters for exams, this is very fast paced Hw is online. Tests very hard.
I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY THIS PROFESSOR HAS SUCH HIGH RATING!!!! NOT ONLY DOES HE NEVERRRR REPLY TO HIS EMAIL BUT HE HAS A NEW HOMEWORK DUE EVERY OTHER DAY - 100 QUESTIONS EACH!!! NOTHING IN THE BOOK AND NO ONE IS LEARNING ANYTHING!!! The class is literally a 12 week course and we are going through it as if it was 6 weeks. THIS IS A JOOKEEEEEEE
Honestly, worried for my midterm and final.
So much homework, about 5 times as much as my regular classes with 3 credits (i am only taking him for a lab) and had more work than my 6 week classes. INSANE amounts of homework. So much so, it takes time away from ALL other classes. It also makes you not want to study because you are so worn out from endless assignments.
Worst professor I have ever had. All positive reviews are for his in-person classes, I have the luxury of taking him online. I have so much homework it takes hours per week, so much so, I canceled a weekend vacation, I do not participate in dinners with my significant other, I don't have time to study for other classes, worst class I have ever had.
This is what nightmares are made of. I have a BA and taking this for a professor for a pre-req for my MA degree, it contains only busy work, nothing of substance and is a waste of time. I do not recommend. Save yourself from wasting a few months of your life for no reason. DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR FOR AN ONLINE CLASS!
Nothing from the mid term study guide was on the mid term. Good luck, this class is horrible. Not learning anything and it takes all day and night to complete the work.
Not sure why everyone is salty down in previous posts for Summer 2020. Literally the easiest A, all the material is presented in the powerpoints and available in the book for those who are "struggling" so much, but honestly the repetition of material through all the HW literally sets you up to pass the exams. Don't even stress this class, easy A.
He was MIA, unless you called him. The amount of HW is insane and repetitive. Midterm study guide was useless. I got an A. So... I guess its easy? Quizzes are 25% hw 40% midterm 15% and final 15% - lots of extra credit. Just not sure how much I actually absorbed for a&p2.
Dr. Garcia is an excellent professor. He speaks a little and if you do not understand it he is more than willing to explain subjects. he is funny, and likable . He knows the material like the back of his hand. He makes sure everyone understands and is really good at explaining. Do not be afraid to talk to him and ask questions.
I took this class during the COVID lockdowns and found the class was fair in difficult considering the subject and the professor was extremely helpful and answered any doubts and questions I had quickly throughout the course. You will need to study to pass the exams.
He was a great professor, hard but very understanding. I am taking him again next semester.
Great professor! 100% would recommend and would take again!
this class was very exciting. I learned a lot more than I really expected. Probably one of the best biology/anatomy teachers I ever had. Thanks for being there with all the good energy and charisma, even when we didnt participate or even pay attention, always caring for your students.
Dr. Garcia is very unorganized but once you understand how the flow of the class goes, the organization is irrelevant. He also gives plenty of extra credit assignments to help bring up your grade.
At the first I feel o overwhelmed with all the homework and stuff but after all I realize it was the way he wants to help us familiar with the material better.... A lot of extra credits.... He is very caring and to the point...
I took professor Garcia for both BSC2085 & BSC2086. Overall good professor. He doesn't have a problem going over anything that is not understood the first time which i think is important. He is big on participation. If he knows you are putting in effort, he does give chances if you miss to turn in something on time.
Professor Garcia is really passionate about what he teaches he's caring and wants you to learn and understand the material. There was a lot of homework so make sure your constantly checking your homework so you don't miss any of it.
This is a very difficult class, so, be prepared to read a lot, PowerPoints are very organized and easy to understand but you need to study. The midterm is 15% and final 25% both proctored. A lot of homework and a paper assignment as extra credit. Make sure to do the midterm and final review. They will help with your final. Amazing professor.
I took this professor for both BSC 2085 & BSC 2086. During his lectures he will go over the material again if you dont understand. I recommend doing extra credit like the exam reviews because it boosts your grade & going over his recorded lectures on YouTube. He also mentions if a specific topic will be on the test so pay attention. Good luck!
I really enoy this semestres, Garcia's class was the more fun and interested class that i choose. I hope that I can be next semester in he's class.
He is a very caring Professor....A lot of homework and assignments but as long as your time management is good you will passed
There is ALOT of mastering assignments and quizzes, however I prefer it because there is more practice and more opportunities for the hw to help with your grade. Heavy proctored test with a-lot of questions but he gives you plenty of time for each midterm and final. Overall 9/10 i would love to take him again.
I definitely recommend him; he's a good professor. He even gives a lot of extra credit. However, you must be willing to put in the extra work and effort to study. It's a lot of material, so don't start studying the week before the test. His powerpoints, study guides, and homework were very helpful in understanding the material in his two tests.
Even though the were a lot of assignments and too much information to learn, I did learn in this class. I just have to stay up to day with the assignments and I was good to go. I would take a class with him again. Thank you.
Professor Garcia was a really good Professor, he replies emails fast and its whiling to give you an extension if you show that you actually care. He was honestly the best teacher that I had this semester. He is very funny and makes his class easy. If you miss a class you can watch the video after on blackboard as many times as you like. TAKE HIM !!
I loved taking Dr. Garcias Anatomy & Physiology class. His lectures are interesting and you learn a lot from them. He makes sure to explain things and give real life scenarios in order for you to understand the material. There is a lot of homework, quizzes, and tests but its all worth it and manageable. I will be taking A&P2 with him next semester.
Best professor Ive taken at mdc. I was really nervous to take anatomy and physiology but he made it so much easier to understand. His lectures are really interesting and he help understand the content. He does have a lot of hw to do but it balances out test grades but you have to put in the work.
Not so bad!!. SO MUCH EXTRA CREDIT OPTIONS-do them all- they accumulate in the end!! Quizzes 2 attempts & takes higher grades. Mastering Assignments are in moderation. The ONLY thing I wish if his study guides for Midterm & Finals were actually helpful- were not. I would say study off quizzes & in the study module!! Goodluck y'all!!
Even online his lectures are amazing. Do all the hw and extra credits and you'll do good. Awesome professor actually felt like i learned a lot.
If you want to learn in a way that makes the info actually stick, then this is your professor. He makes sure that we understand the lesson thoroughly and assists in any doubts after class. Anatomy and Physiology may not be an easy class for first time takers, but his unconventional and fun way of teaching it makes you want to learn.
Very good professor, easy homework and exams, answered questions on time
Professor Garcia is the best! If you don't understand something he will go back and explain it as many times as needed. There are a lot of people complaining about him being disorganized, but he will literally tell you what you need to do for the whole semester, so if you listen and get all the stuff done you'll be fine. He will always help you.
Really good professor
Lots of assignments. Six quizzes and tests, five clinical cases, a group presentation, and slap discussions. He explains in a easy way for you to understand but it's not necessarily what you will see in the quizzes and tests. He offers extra-credits as well as the chance to submit late assignments.
He is a doctor, so he indeed knows what he is talking about. Accessible power points and lots of homework and quizzes and/ or tests. Breaks down everything you need to know about the human body. Super funny and caring. Do not be shy to ask questions. I learned a lot in his class; his class was my favorite class I had last semester. I recommend.
Please avoid the headache and DO NOT take this professor. Extremely unorganized on canvas, students complained about assignments due dates and not being in the correct place all semester. VERY TOUGH TO CONTACT he straight up won't answer your texts or emails. Messed my grade up multiple times and had to annoy him so he could fix it. Just avoid him.
he's too messy due dates are all over the place you wouldn't know when homework is due and you'll have a lot of homework he puts your grade last so you won't know what you need to finish or when it's due when he explains he is too messy he doesn't even know where he is standing I do not recommend it
Professor Garcia is a good professor, he knows his topic and is funny. The problem is that he is too messy. Everything is all over the place, due dates are a mess and students need to be on top of him to make sure he puts in assignments correctly. If you do all assignments you will be fine, but it does get stressful and confusing.
He don't communicate , he didn't give a final review , the midterm & final make majority of your grade so homework / extra credit doesn't matter .Overall he is a terrible teacher and beware of taking him for a BSC 2086 online .
Don't get me wrong Professor Garcia is a bit messy and hates answering emails. On the other hand, stay after class with any questions, concerns, if you missed an assignment and need it opened, he will do it for you as long as it's not habitual. Overall, he's a great lecturer, wants you to participate and wants you to succeed in his class.
He is nice and will explain well the lesson, but he is very disorganized on blackboard, due dates are a mess, emailing him is sometimes for nothing, the course links are mess. I would say 4/5 as an in person professor but because most of the course is graded through online content, it was very confusing and disorganized.
This professor was very hard to teach outside of class and he gives an excessive amount of work for no reason!
Great instructor advice on career preparation exams and pathways. Uses vocabulary and real-life medical cases. Following his PowerPoint, focusing on the highlighted orange boxes, and completing test reviews will lead to success. gives 5% extra credit and organizes exams every two chapters. You can get paid through research assistant positions.
Professor Garcia is a great teacher who truly wants students to learn. Though the course can be disorganized at times, his engaging lectures and willingness to help make it worthwhile. Utilizing Unstuck AI and staying on top of deadlines is key.
Dr. Garcia is a great professor, you will learn alot if you pay attention in his class lecture/lab. He's a great person and tries to make funny jokes so you remember the content better. If you want to learn the conent and how it will be applied in your future carrier take him you wont regret it. Lab has 3 practicums (2nd is online)
Had him for Anatomy 1 Lab and his class has been great this whole semester, He engages with his students. He cares about them and gives them extensions on assignments or any quiz if you ever want to redo them. Hw is tedious, but he is great overall and it would be impossible to fail bc it means you're not even trying, there's no reason to fail.
Buen Professor, flexible y dispuesto para ayudar al estudiante. Te da oportunidad para q aprendas y para que salgas bien en la clase.
Don't stay behind
Don't fall behind
the class subject is obviously one that requires a lil bit of studying. but this professor was the reason I passed this course. his lectures and the way he taught made everything easier to learn and understand, also how flexible he was with the assignments and quizzes and is not a teacher to try and fail you. take this professor if you wanna pass.
Prof Garcia is a great professor but definitely goes fast and you need to take note of what he says will be on the test. You must study even tho he gives out study guides which are super helpful and even lets you use a cheat sheet the day of the exam. Theres just a lot of online homework but it helps with your grade. would take him again!!
Professor Garcia truly cares about his students. His lectures are interesting. Never boring. I've learned so much from him. He is very knowledgeable. Tests are hard but not impossible. If you study everything from lecture. Highly recommend his class.
Great professor! I actually enjoyed learning in this class. people complain about how disorganized he was but I actually loved how lenient he was with changing dates, if you missed a due date he always modifies for you. Lab practicums were pretty easy! Lecture exams were challenging but AP2 is not an easy class so you definitely need to study.
Professor was amazing a bit unclear at times but ask as many times as you want and he will make sure that you understand. My only complaint is the workload and his organization with assignments, due dates, quizzes etc is really bad. He can be quite a bit quick paced and I suggest he slows down but if you ask him to he will.
He knows what is being discussed, but teaches too quickly and is everywhere during the lesson. Talks about many different things at once, which confuses the students and does not stop talking, not even for questions. He got mad at a classmate for asking questions when he didn't understand. Nice and lets you submit late work but it was hard to learn
Professor Garcia is a great professor that i've taken 2 separate times. I finished him with a A in both and he's a great professor. He ALWAYS gives extensions to you. He curves grades and tests plus extends due dates for you specifically. You'd actually have to not care about your grade or not bother asking him for an extension to fail or get a C-.
I never seen a professor who is disorganized and he is super rude. When I ask him a question, he's gets brothered and rolled his eyes. He is favoritism to a girl who also takes the multiple sciences classes with him. When I took the exam, people are talking during the exam but doesn't care. If anyone who is DRC student don't do it.
