Dr. Morales does not teach. He will prepare the chapter as a power point presentation and rush through the material while interjecting too many examples about his own research which I wasn't there to learn about. I think he is extremely intelligent and wants all his students to know it.

Intelligent, but lacks instructional ability. Take his class if you are adept at learning on your own. Lectures consist of him zipping thru Powerpoint presentations...skipping topics that he either doesn't like or doesn't understand. Ask questions if you expect to understand and survive.

It is true that you have 3 chances for quizzes and the test come are straight from the book. The final is 35% of your grade and is written by the department.

I'm lost for words. I took A&P I online with Morales, and the only thing that I can say is beware. He allow you to take the quizzes twice and gives you the higher grade, but don't ask questions and think you?ll get a legit response, and don't make him angry if so the entire class will suffer. As for the final, no study guide, your on your own.
