No Comments
Great work-out routine. Many crunches and push-up in this class. Petti really knows the human body, as he also teaches human dissection as well as Health Ed. Top quality>>>>
Easy and fun class. Nice guy. Can bring your own music to work out with. 30 min. stretches.. then to the gym. Easy A. Just show up and do some walking around the school or in the gym.
Extremely easy class. He lectures well, so it's easy to take good notes, which are all you need to ace the tests (so don't bother buying the book). He truly seemed to care about all his students and was willing to go out of his way to help me out.
all you have to do is study consistently and you will pass this class. no h.w. but lots of studying. He's cool and will help you with anything. the tests are long but not too hard if you STUDY!
He is a very nice guy. alwasy willing to help. Tests are easy. Study from lectures notes and read grom the book and your are going to have an A. not hard at all. He is a sweetheart!!!
This teacher is AWESOME. Very clear in giving instructions, very social, helpful to all and isn't too hard at all if you study and take the notes. Recommended teacher to take for this class.
This is the best teacher for the subject, many coworkers at my ambulance Co all agree. He's NOT EASY but that is not the intention, if you want to learn A & P take him. Also, online help is great!!!!!!!
Awesome teacher, very passionate, very understanding and helpful. Loves what he does and is very interesting. Easy to talk to and lectures very well. If you need a health or p.e. credit definitely take him.
Cool guy although I suspect him of being rather **** of Asian people. He used the term chink in class that was rather offensive, and made a stereotype of Chinese people and how their rich parents spend money on their kids college. He's lucky I didn't report him!!!
Awesome teacher, very funny. Make sure to take LOTS of notes..you don't need the book if you take good notes. He's very passionate about teaching and anti-smoking! He's just a super teacher, take his classes!
Lame teacher, stupid jokes, waste of time and $. His test are so lame, more than 80% of the class recieved C's. I'm an A student and barely pulled off a B-, so take someone else or u will suffer the consequences of having a bad grade/GPA.
It was a great class
Fun teacher who is very passionate about his job. I took his friday 3 hour classes and time flew by! Likes to joke around and talk. There really is no need for studying if you pay attention and take down notes. I hardly used the book at all with the exception of one chapter. Only one paper to write and no hw!
He is a great teacher, all you have to do is take good notes and stuy those for the tests. He loves what he teaches, and will sometimes go on rants about his favorite football team, the Jets I think, but he is a good guy. I am an A student and got an A in this class. The only thing I really didn't like was the slide show of STDs.
Kevin's passion for teaching is clearly evident by the way he keeps you interested not only through discussion but also how he engages his students through interaction. He's a great teacher! =)
Easy Teacher, very lay back guy, his teaching method is great, "he's joke, but he's not" easy A if you just go to class. His lectures are on powerpoint which is posted on his website. But i Suggest you go to class to get more from his powerpoints. Great Guy. Love his class. Common sense questions on the test.
OMG. i wish i could take a class like this every semester. i never even took notes, just pay attention in class + review his powerpoints online. i got an easy A. one self=interest paper. no final. i dont know how easier it can get. i took his class on a fri morning, i was expecting hell but it wasnt. for once a teacher that is actually funny too
Awesome teacher. Wish I had him for another semester. He makes class fun, especially when he compares everything to football. Great guy, very helpfull. Tests are easy if you study. But watch out for the Essays at the end.
Awesome teacher, but very hard class. You MUST study alot! No HW, final grade is based on tests alone. He expects you to keep up on your studying, like you should be doing in college. Kevin is really cool and always willing to help if you need it. He is super smart and knows everything about A&P. I learned so much and would take him again.
This class is da bomb. I like the way he helps me with the terminology. He makes it so much easier for me and the class. Hes very conscience about giving his students the answers on exams yet he trys his best in teaching. I strongly recommend this teacher.
he is so ewwww!!! i mean some people love him,but i think he is gross!!!!!!
He's a great teacher! His lectures are fun and easy to understand! He's very lenient and will always go over your tests with you, if there are misunderstandings. Just listen to his lectures and go over his lecture notes (posted online), and you'll definetly pass! There's no homework, besides studying for tests, and u hardly have to read the text!
Dr. Petti is a great teacher. He knows what he is talking about and makes sure you understand what he is teaching also. I would record the lectures to take better notes at home because the lectures go by FAST. The online help is great...perfect for studying for exams. If your a football fan, you'll get along with Dr. Petti very well. Especially if
Ugh He sucks dont take it with himmm hes soo hard and hes tests have nothing to do with his lecture i dont know how he came up with the test questions he just brings power points and reads over it. there is no extra credit or homework whatsoever so youre just being graded for your test scores. DEF. RECOMENT NOTTTTT TAKING CLASS WITH HIM
Great teacher and very helpful! Go to class and pay attention and you will be fine and has all the lectures online. He is down to earth and actually cares about his students. If you are attentive and willing to learn then you will be fine.
i do not recommend this teacher. i had to drop out of his class because the material he taught wasn't registering. His lectures DO NOT MATCH THE TEST..meaning that you've got to read the book.
one of my favorite classes. teacher is real chill and the test are cake if u attend class. if u can take this class
Happy w/ teacher! Didn't think I would do well in class because there's so much material but have an A. OF COURSE nothing comes easily, study 10-12 hrs,week. Almost took Dr. Ahrar. That would've been disaster. Boring, straight from Power Point. Study Lecture notes & go to class & you'll get a B.
GREAT TEACHER. VERY HELPFUL. IT IS A TOUGH CLASS BUT WHAT CLASS ISN'T IN THIS FIELD. HE MAKES LEARNING FUN AND IF YOUR INTO SPORTS, DEF GET HIM AS YOUR TEACHER. (NICE COMMENT BELOW... HE MAKES US READ THE TEXT BOOK. ITS COLLEGE DUMBASS. GO COOK ME UP SOME BURGERS).
kevin is a wonderful teacher and person
Lot's of material covered, but teacher is very throuogh and gives lots of time to students for help. His test are tough but he gives a great study guide. If you read, go to class, and study you will do good in this class. Teacher is intersting and makes lectures intersesting.
Easy but informative. If you attend lectures and take notes the tests are a breeze. All lectures are posted online, and he is super helpful. No homework. Great in-class discussions with a focus on real-life application. Highly recommended!
I had Kevin for both Bio160 and Health101 last semester, and the man is without a doubt the best professor I've had in my entire college experience. He is friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, erudite, and informative. He leaves no question as to the material you need to know for exams. All you have to do is study. I have him next for Bio232 and PE281.
He is the most awesome, excellent professor i have had. He gives us helpful knowledge.He is very friendly. lets take his class
ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!
BEST TEACHER VERY CLEAR. ALL OF HIS LECTURES U CAN PRINT ONLINE THE TESTS ARE REALLY EASY ONLY ABOUT 40-50 QS. EASIEST CLASS ON MY SCHEDULE BY FAR BUT STILL LEARN A LOT. TAKE THIS CLASS IS SO TIGHT
this class is a straight up lecture class. you dont use the book at all so dont even bother buying it. even though its a lecture class its still fun.. he makes it interesting. there is absoultely no homework. there is one paper worth 20% of your grade and 4 tests worth 20% each. and all lectures are online :) i def recommend this class!
r. Petti is an engaging instructor. He wants you to succeed but he WILL challenge you. Class is heavy on the anatomy/light on the kinesiology. You will need to study regardless of your intelligence or scientific background. The book is more detailed than the lecture but one should read it as test questions are derived from the book as well.
One of the best teachers I have had in college, hands down!
BEST PROFESSOR IN THE WHOLE SCHOOL!!!
Professor P was extremely helpful was always there after class to help you out and did everything he possibly could to get the message to you! He really helped a lot but wasnt boring during lecture he was very interactive and his tests are easy! great class to take
professor Petti has been very helpful in creating a clear distinct picture of the human body. In dissection his lessons and directions are given clearly. He is always there to help out, if there are any concerns or questions that students may have. Going into the medical flied I have a much better understanding if the human body.
Awesome Professor. He has a sense of humor and engages the class well. Health is very important and he makes it fun to learn. Attend his lectures, study the slide notes and skim through the chapters and you will do well in his class. There is no homework. Just tests and one paper due at the end of the semester. I learned a lot. Great elective.
He's a really motivated teacher. He seems like he loves his job and teaching others he is very talkative, organized, and funny. I understood everything he was saying. This class is an easy class if you pay attention to the power points you should not get less than a B in this class.
He is a really great teacher. Cares about what he teaches, as well as the students and is extremely knowledgeable. Makes coming to class a lot more fun. Adds in humor and is actually pretty funny. He does whatever he can to make sure that you get the grade you deserve. I took a lot out of this class.
If you don't get an A in this class you have problems! Petti's a cool person, organized, fair-can't ask for more in a professor.Don't have to buy test book, can get an previous editions.One major paper which is pretty easy.Tests are multiple choice.Only people who did bad in my class did not care and/or English was 2nd Language.
BEST TEACHER EVER!! I highly recommend him!!
The ultimate professor. Extremely passionate about anatomy and very knowledgable. Very down to earth and really cares about students. Tests are brutally comprehensive. Proud to have him for a professor, consider yourself fortunate if you can get into any class he teaches!
Mr. Petti is an awesome teacher, he's really easy going, very funny, you just need to attend his class, but he doesn't really use the book, so save your $$$, and just print out his lecture slides.
He is the best teacher I ever had and I highly recommend him.I have difficulty with english language but in his class that was my last consern.
He's a very passionate professor. His lecture is so much interesting and knowledgeable. However, he highly demands you by some of his own rules in class such as never cross pass him while he's lecturing. And his exam is NOT easy at all, even it's an easy class!
One if the best professors his energy and love for teaching is shown in every class. Definitely a good morning class, he captures your attention and explains things in a manner that everyone can relate to somehow.
An amazing class and great teacher. You get out of it what you put in. Its one thing to learn anatomy from books and models but you learn much more when you actually get to dissect a body. One of the very few community colleges in the nation that offers human dissection. Very fortunate to learn from Prof Petti, great stories and instruction
Such a great teacher. I took the 3 hour lecture that was at 8am on a Friday morning and despite the terrible date and time, I loved this class. Professor Petti is extremely intelligent about the topics he covers and always adds humor and entertainment into the mix. All around amazing professor!
Kevin Petti is an amazing prfessor. Getting up at 7:00 in the morning is never easy. But once you get in his class you're wide awake. He's very interesting, hilarious, and is extremly knowledgable, not to mention handsome. I would highly recommend taking his class. This is my first college course and i'm so greatful I chose this class to attend.
K Petti is hands down one of the best instructors currently teaching at Miramar College. He makes learning interesting and has great passion for teaching his courses. If you have to choose between Kevin Petti and some one else, you can't go wrong with KP.
Great professor. Tests are difficult but he provides many sources helpful to prepare. Very nice. I have to retake the class and will definitely retake with him. One of the best professors Ive ever had.
If you are required to take BIOL160 I recommend this professor!!! He is very funny, very knowledgeable and a great person. There is never a dull moment in his class. Just make sure you study the material and if you don't understand, JUST ASK because he is sure to answer and explain until it is clear to you. I also recommend his lab book.
He is a great professor for anatomy and physiology . This course is difficult enough and can get really boring but he makes every single minute of a class interesting and fun that you want to learn and be present in his class. He is very helpful and you can always ask him questions, he is a great person and very patient.
Amazing professor, funny and helpful. lectures are very interesting, worth your time. Exams are kinda difficult thats why you have the book. Reading the material and going over pp will help you pass the exams. wish he was my professor for all my classes . Keep the good work professor Petti !!!
My absolute favorite professor....and I have had many. Incredibly witty, intelligent, multi-faceted and charismatic. I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to be one of his students. He raises anatomy to a whole new level each class through incorporating it's roots, artistic impressions, applicability, etc. to each class. Amazing professor!
Amazing teacher. Hilarious. Makes me want to learn. Cool teacher.
Cannot possibly express the magnitude of the awesomeness that is Dr. Petti! An absolute fantastic educator, motivator and truly a good guy. His ravishing lectures engage the students on every level, and one of the best teachers I've ever had. Helpful, friendly and approachable.
The best professor at Miramar College, hands down. One of the most intelligent, witty, helpful, and captivating professors I've ever taken here. Exams are hard if you don't study, but don't forget this is college. You won't regret taking KP he's the man
Super funny, helpful, intelligent, and awesome teacher! He makes the class fun and know what he is talking about! Super cool guy who is easy to relate to and very down to earth! He answers any questions, in person or in email, and is always willing to talk! Class is easy if show up and pay attention! You don't need the book! Tests are pretty easy
The best. Simply the best. KP, I applaud you.
Dr. Petti is one of the best! He has a great personality and shares his knowledge in an understandable manner. I loved his lectures, and the positive energy he brought to the classroom.
Dr. Petti is awesome! He's very intelligent and funny so it makes the class interesting. He's understanding and always is there for you if you need help. I definitely recommend him. Such a great teacher! Plus there's not very much homework! Easy A if you pay attention to his lectures.
Petti is funny! His lectures are super funny. He tries to get the class engaged and really wants us to get something out of it. He iv overall a very easy professor. 4 exams, 1 final paper, and nothing else. Just show up to class everyday for lectures and you'll be good to go. Take him for Health 101.
Funny dude, and he is very interactive with his students. If you want to pass, all you have to do is to study for his tests.
Excellent teacher. Very funny, cares about students. Keeps you interested!
Mr. Petti gives you ALL his best! Well prepared, knows his "stuff"! No need for the text. Print out his lecture notes on-line, ATTEND class I repeat, ATTEND class and you should be prepared for the 4 exams. Do not procrastinate on the final paper. Start documenting early, he is a science man who loves proof and charts. Hysterical guy, I loved him!
My favorite teacher of the semester! His lectures are hilarious and he really cares about his students. His tests are no joke though, the first one was easy but after that they get more difficult. The only complaint I have is that there was only one A in my entire class of 40 and he didn't curve the grades...
Ive only had a few teachers who have taught me things i will take far beyond the semester. This one is one of them. Amazing lecture skills where you learn without realizing how much youre taking in until after the lecture. Extremely knowledgable and is there for the students even with issues that are hard to bring up. Amazing teacher.
Best professor I have ever had. I acually looked foward to going to his lectures. You learn a lot in this class that you will take away for the rest of your life. Print out his PowerPoint slides to study for the exams (4 no final). 1 essay that is easy and it benefits your life. I wish I could take him again.
I wake up every TTh morning at 6am and drive a good distance because I look forward to coming to Kevin Petti's lectures. He's an entertaining speaker and is very passionate about the history and application of anatomy and physiology. He directs us to material and concepts that will help us become better healthcare practitioners. Def recommend.
I just came home from the last class with Professor Petti , and this is the first thing I'm doing. By far, this HAS to be the best professor I've had the pleasure of learning from. He has a great personality, and he's very humorous. What makes education more beneficial is if you can learn in a fun environment. I wish I could write more! Take him!!!
Absolutely the best professor at SDCCD. Wears his heart on his sleeve and shows he really cares about his students, his job, the subject, his family and his community. Respectful of students and above all an amazing teacher. I've learned so much valuable information in this class and will remember it because of Dr. Petti's teaching style.
Professor Petti, is an amazing guy. He has an awesome personality and really cares. I can tell he really enjoys his job. Those are the professors you want to take classes with. During the semester there aren't to many assignments and there are only a couple exams. Easy A if you study the notes and go to class. Definitely recommend this professor!
Dr. Kevin Petti has all the right combinations to be a great teacher - vast knowledge, patience, polite manner, effective communication ability, good sense of humor, and most importantly is his tireless passion to pass on the knowledge to students. He can make Biology one of the most interesting classes you've ever taken.
He is truly gifted with the gift of teaching. I strongly recommend you to take Bio 160 with professor Kevin Petti. Study hard and you will not regret. Good luck!

Petti translates his knowledge, wisdom, & experience into his captivating and inspiring teaching style. I thoroughly enjoyed his class, & I threw fits last semester when my babysitter flaked & I couldn't make it to class. If you want to learn from the best, Petti is your man. He genuinely cares for his students & takes pride in his teaching.
Elements of Human Anatomy and Physiology (BIOL 160) taught by Professor Kevin Petti is one of the more difficult and demanding courses at Miramar College. It is also one of the most rewarding. Professor Petti puts much effort into his lectures and expects the same from his students. This course is the best clinical preparation available at SDCCD.
By far my favorite class and teacher. I am not typically an A student, but hard work will definitely pay off. Attendance not mandatory, but highly recommended. This class is definitely a life changer! Was not a fan of biology until I took this class...
Fantastic Professor! He really knows his material and is passionate about his work. He is very clear of what he wants you to study for exams (which I like that he breaks up into several exams throughout semester). The reason the easiness meter is not high is because you have to work for it, but as long as you put the study time in you'll pass.
I'm not a morning person, but I'm more than glad to go to his class at 7:50 every morning (even with horrible traffic). He's such an awesome professor. His lectures are to the clear to the point and funny. He points what you need to study for your exams, just pay attention. Exams are tough, start studying as soon as possible! Lovely art references
I had Mr. Petti for Health and he was amazing. So clear, concise and well-spoken. His class was extremely easy to follow. I've attended his lecture regarding Anatomy of Art and it was spectacular. I highly recommend this professor for any subject.
Amazing professor.I came to class every Tuesday and Thursday at 7:50AM, yes that's early but totally worth it. His lectures are interesting and he is always nice about helping his students succeed. I'd take him again and again.
Dr. Petti is the best teacher I've ever had. He delivers his knowledge with interest, passion for what he does, continues to learn. He engages and opens students to personal funny and inspirational stories, checks on them by courtesy in their progress. You get what you put in due to your action or inaction as a student because he is 110% teacher.
very passionate, so very inspirational... Life changing. I recommend taking health 101 with Dr. Petti, because you won't find anyone else who can teach this course better. BUT, be ready to do work if you want an A
I'm very happy that I took this class and I had with Kevin petti, he is very motivated prof who cares about his students. Even though English is not my first language, I tried very hard and prof Kevin helped me a lot too by explaining the lecture the best way that you can explain.
If you enjoyed BIO230 and want hands-on experience with cadaver dissection, I HIGHLY recommend taking this lab with K. Petti. He is a pleasure to be around! You get out of this course what you put into it. The course has structure but KP gives students much freedom so it's a very laid-back learning environment. Do take this course while you can!
My favorite prof by far!!! He is super helpful and is willing to go over things with you if you need the help. Easy class only 1 paper and 4 test. Start your paper early don't wait until the week before its due! Also I suggest printing off the lectures it really helped a lot.
He is really funny and made this class interesting even for those of us who aren't science majors. I would take this class again in a heart beat even if just for fun. The professor makes it worth it.
Dr. Petti is awesome!!! I just got my grade back and I was screaming!!!!! I've had A&P three times and never had it taught the way he teaches it. He's very thorough and every detail counts so make sure you go to class. If he gives extra credit do it!!!! Studying really hard for this final and doing the extra credit saved me!.
I only took this class because it was mandatory but he made the class actually interesting and fun for a basic health class. Very little homework throughout the semester and only four tests and one paper. The paper you basically have all semester to work on and it's not that hard to do. Just show up and pay attention in class and you'll pass.
Great class! First college class I ever took and was an awesome experience. I would definitely take a class with Dr. Petti in a heartbeat. He's very open minded and respects one's opinion. The lectures are very involving and I found myself having a lot of intelligent conversation without going too far into the weeds.
Very passionate about his work very helpful. Fun, engaging and educational. Learned so much and didn't even notice till I took the exams.
Great professor who's helpful, stays late to answer questions, and actually cares about his students' learning experience. Class lectures were captivating and gave real life applications. Took us to the cadaver lab where we saw true representations of what learned in class. Highly recommend taking any of his courses!
Best class I've ever had. Really enjoyed his lectures especially at 8am
Petti is an amazing professor. He makes learning anatomy/physiology fun and respects his students ! The course is tough, but he will answer questions and explain topics until you understand it. If you get the chance, I highly recommend taking one of his classes !!
Dr. Petti was an amazing professor. I had him for health 101 and he made every lecture engaging and I never found myself bored. His tests are exactly what he teaches, literally from the powerpoints. For health, attendance wasn't mandatory but the more you were there, the better you did on tests. He really cares about his students which is rare now.
I loved coming to class to hear Dr. Petti's lectures. He is informative and makes learning fun! Being a return student after many years, Dr. Petti made it easy for me to get reaclimated to college. Thank you, Dr. Petti for making Health 101 to be so interesting!
Dr. Kevin Petti is by far one of the best professors I have had. He is really great at lecturing, not focusing on the slides, but using them to guide the lecture instead. Very comical and engaging, and he made Health 101 fun. I highly recommend this professor and also this class regardless of major. Thank you, Dr. Petti.
Dr. Kevin Petti is an excellent professor!! I loved his humor and organized lectures. As a freshman student in USA, Biology wasn't easy for me at all but Dr. Petti's knowledge, enthusiasm, and humor helped me stare at Biology with sheer fascination. I extremely enjoyed it!! Highly recommend students take Bio 160 class with Dr. Petti.
Professor Petti is by far one of the most exceptional instructors at Miramar College. He really knows how to gain the attention of the student by relating the material to realistic scenarios. The course is intimidating and covers very extensive subject, but if you put in the effort that he puts in to teaching, no doubt you will pass.
Professor Petti is a magnificent professor! Despite being a student at another school, I went out of my way to register for his class based on his reviews, and he surpassed even those expectations. A singularly talented and kind person, he will make you laugh and learn, all while making you a more well-rounded person going forward. Outstanding!
Most amazing professor I've ever had. Has very interesting lectures and engaged with students. He's always sure to make you laugh and is very understanding. I plan on taking his health course in the fall. It was an anatomy class so you must read but he is very clear on what you will need to know and what you should pay no attention to!
Prof. Petti is an amazing professor, who cares deeply about the success and development of his students. He is very clear on what he expects, and treats students like adults, which means that you must do your work. He is very knowledgeable; his lectures are very lively, and if you do the required reading they will be increasingly more interesting.
Best professor for Anatomy. Brings the subject to life with real life examples. Very clear, animated, and descriptive. Totally knows what he's doing. Go to lecture! You won't regret it.
Easy class.
AWESOME! Great helper and very motivated to help! Will take him again
He's a great teacher and a great mentor for science majors, however, he should do more study guides because they help so much! Great man, great teacher
Dr. Petti was the best teacher I have ever had. Awesome lectures and his great character really made the material easier to understand. I would take this class again if I could :)
This is one of those classes that you really enjoy attending. Professor Petti was always ready to go on time and there was never a dull moment. Extremely clear from class to class about what was on the schedule and very knowledgeable in his field. Highly recommend him & this class as you will actually learn useful information about your health!
great class just extremely hard. lots of material. Actually cares about the students would recommend just make sure you put in the hard work. Not a easy class but amazing professor!
He is without a doubt the best teacher I have ever had. Amazing lectures! You can tell that he is really passionate about what he does and genuinely cares for his students. Plus, he is extremely entertaining. Take his class. You seriously wont regret it. I will miss him.
Dr. Petti was the best professor I had ever had, no joke! The manner in which he conducted his lectures and overall course was outstanding. The test were hard but the class was well prepared for the test in required material. I would recommend no other professor to students.
I LOVED THIS CLASS. DR PETTI IS AWESOME. Best class I've ever taken. Exams are hard but if you're going into the health field, and something is easy, then it is not worth it. Dr. Petti loves his job and his students, and you can tell. I got way more out of this class than I signed up for. Exams graded on time. You work for the grade you deserve!
Best Professor I have ever had! It was a pleasure and an honor to be taught by a teacher who is so involved with his work. He truly loves what he does, and it shows. He has helped to expand my mind to places i'd never thought it could go. Very encouraging! Thank You for all you do!!! I will be attending his other courses!
Great teacher! He teaches in a way that is entertaining and not boring. Answers any question you have truthfully and respectfully. The tests go along with what we have learned throughout the weeks. 10/10 recommend him!!
i love DR Petti. he is one of the professors that i will remember! i like the way he teaches. if you have any questions, hes your guy!
Dr. Petti was my first college professor out of High School and he has inspired me to excel and continue working towards the medical field. To the entertaining stories about his life, his love for the arts, he always brings it back to the subject at hand. His lectures are far from boring, and listen closely because it might be extra credit!
Dr. Petti is an incredible professor. His passion and enthusiasm is infectious, and the way that he teaches anatomy, physiology, AND sneaks in some history and art references will literally blow your mind at times. You will leave inspired. I truly feel blessed to have been able to have had a professor of his caliber at Miramar college.
He is an amazing professor! I would recommend him highly if you want an interesting and funny teacher who will help you get a good grade. He gives enough extra credit and worth taking!
Great Class, Great Professor! You learn so much from him, you can tell he loves doing this. He has a passion for everything Art, Anatomy and Italy! You will get a great laugh from the stories he tells and be prepared to read and work hard. Sit back and enjoy the ride enjoy his vignettes there awesome! Thanks Dr. Petti for everything!
Such an amazing professor! The man is so caring and professional, would recommend to anyone who wants to learn a lot about anatomy and physiology. The best professor and teacher I've ever had!
350 characters doesn't do him justice. Best teacher since elementary school. I took this class last semester at mesa and failed and took it again with dr.p. He is the best it can get. Do not enter any anatomy class expecting not to work your ass off. He is passionate about his work and really cares about you, give your time n he'lol give his.
Great class, I had different expectations when I started so be prepared. Be ready to be studying for hours everyday in order to understand an pass this class. He is a Great professor, he encourages you to try hard An makes every lecture An lab the laugh of the day.
Even though I took him a couple of semesters ago, he left an impression on me. His lectures are applicable in "real life" instead of just reading from a textbook. His PowerPoint lectures and grades are on his website and accessible at any time. I used his slides way more than I used the textbook so don't waste money if you don't have it.
Great professor! There are lectures almost every day, but he has a good sense of humor, that it's fun to listen to him! He's fair when it comes to grading, if you don't try, you won't get a good grade, but if you do your best, you will pass the class!
I've never learned so much in a single class! Every class I would walk out amazed at what I'd just learned. Be ready to hit the ground running, and utilize his office hours! This was a very hands on class. My class started with 60 and finished with 25. Professor Petti is extremely knowledgeable and passiontate about subject matter.
BEST professor EVER!!! I would take him again in a heart beat. I wish he taught the Anatomy & Phys part of EMT lol. MUST Study and you will pass. Get to know Kevin, such an inspirational and caring teacher. If you put in the effort you will pass. Please read and attend both of his lab days so you can understand more and be prepared for exam days.
If you have to take health, take him! Don't even look at the other professors. Petti's class is like an educational comedy show. I was never bored learning from him and actually wanted to show up for class. 4 tests, and an easy project where you get to make a lifestyle change. He also offered some easy extra credit.
Dr. Petti is the BEST professor I have ever had!!! He was so nice and fun!! I LOVE him!!!
One of the best professors Ive had. Very funny and realistic. Teaches very good and makes sure the whole class is on the same page. Would definitely take again.
He gives great lectures that will explain everything you need for the test. He does extra to help his students. Attendance isnt mandatory but go to lectures if you want to do good on your exams. I would 100% take any of his classes, no doubt.
Bio 160 is a fast-paced, combined A and P course. It will demand hours of regimented studying or you will not pass. Warning aside, Dr. Petti is one of the most enthusiastic lecturer you will likely ever have. His lectures will serve you for years to come whatever you are going into so record his lectures. Only take if you are a serious student
Great guy. Funny and down to business
In fact, I have learned Human Anatomy and Physiology from him. His knowledge and information in Human Anatomy and Physiology is excellent. He is kind, polite, and patient professor. After taking his class, I love Human Anatomy and physiology. He is not tough grader. His tests are fair and his grading is very fair. A lot of extra credit available
I will say if you want to learn Human Anatomy and Human Physiology, take with him because his knowledge is great. He loves what he teaches. After taking his class, I love Human Anatomy and physiology. He is a nice professor, and his tests are straightforward. In addition, you will learn human anatomy from his human anatomy Laboratory.
Absolutely amazing. I would take him for every class i ever took if it was possible
Amazing prof! Very caring and available to help his students!! If you want to pass the class with good grades, don't skip his lectures!! I advice everyone to take Health 101 with prof Petti Kevin, you wont regret!
The class is all lecture based no homework. He structures all of his lectures with all of the questions in the beginning of the lectures. Personally, I didn't show up to class, but got an A, instead I studied all of his slides. However, I was only 1/3 people who got an A, so take that info with a grain of salt! Otherwise, he is a GREAT PROFESSOR!
By far one of the best professors you'll ever have. He's very smart and will help you understand anything you struggle with. BIOL 160 is very hard, but he'll be there to guide you to success. If you need to take human anatomy, take professor Petti, you're guaranteed to suffer with any other professor.
Amazing teacher! He cares about what he is teaching. Easy and interesting class!
Final grade was the average of 4 tests and a paper. It was a bit difficult to study for the tests because the only class resource we had were his lecture slides which are simple bullet points. But if you take notes in class he emphasizes the important points, and he has interesting lectures. He's very considerate and open to questions.
His class is always fun and interesting. Be ready to get your mind blew by his knowledge. You won't never want to miss a class.
Loves his job. It is a hard class but ive learned so much from this class its unbelievable.
Professor Petti is an amazing teacher in my opinion. Combining anatomy and physiology into one semester can be alot to bite off but he makes the class interesting and always keeps student engaged. One of the best teachers I have ever had without a doubt! Wish he thought more classes.
He is a good guy. If you show up and pay attention, you will pass. Dont take his class if you plan on skipping out. He tells a lot of stories during lecture and hes a huge football fan. No homework. Just 4 tests and a self assessment paper due at the end of the course.
THE BEST! Hes awesome! Fun lectures.. He shares a lot of personal stories that are relatable. Hes engaging, allows people to converse with him and hes a great lecturer. I looked forward to seeing him and hearing him speak every class. I wish he taught more classes. He could train some other professors. I highly recommend him!!
Really enjoyed going to class! His lectures are very informative and fun. Professor Petti shows that he truly loves his job and cares for his students!
Awesome professor. I was so scared before i took this class, but Dr. Petti made it easy and fun in his class. If you need to take anatomy, take him. He is the best professor ever.
Awesome professor! You will learn so much and the lectures are great. His teaching style engages you and keeps you productive. There are no dull moments in this class. The tests can be difficult if you do not study or put in the time!
His lectures are amazing and interesting. There is a textbook that he wants you to have, you NEED that textbook. His tests are very challenging, you need to study and listen as much as you can in order to pass. He really a nice and funny professor.
He is just Great! When in lecture, It would feel like a comedy show. He is very entertaining and he is so smart! You have to listen to him in order to pass the class because he gives the answers to the exam. He goes really fast in lectures so I recommend you get the textbook and have it open in class.
he was really patient and didnt make any student feel less
I love this teacher. I haven't taken a class from him in over 2 years and he still remembers me! He makes fun of students and jokes with them the whole class. He makes the boring stuff interesting and I would love to take him again.
This guy is amazing. Get ready to study
Great Professor! Highly recommend to take if you need this course. You'll learn a great deal, he's very knowledgeable.
I wish I could take this course again just to hear him speak, his lectures are fantastic; he's got undeniable passion and each lesson has hilarious and very relatable anecdotes that help you to understand. You leave the class enlightened and energized! ?s are answered thoughtfully... Not an easy class, but he def helps you succeed. Total legend!
Dr. Petti is one of the best professors Ive ever had. He knows the ins and outs of the human body and will teach you more than you can imagine. Participation matters in this course. Must take this class if you want it to look good on your pre med/pre nursing resume. Hes the best and so funny
One of the most knowledgeable, professional, and inspiring Professors I have had! KP goes above and beyond to educate his students about the wonders of the human body, and he is more than happy to explain concepts that students are unfamiliar with. Very hands-on class with little assignments outside of class. Well worth the experience; take it!
The best class I've ever taken! Certainly the most challenging but Dr. Petti made it fun, relatable to real life which made it easier to retain the boat load of information! I'll miss his lectures and funny stories for sure!
Dr. Petti is passionate about anatomy and physiology. He loves what he teaches. He respects his students. Do the work, put in the time and you will do well. One of the best if not, the best professor Ive had. Take him if you want to learn and take your college career serious.
Dr. Petti is the kind of professor who will make you look forward to class! While attendance is not mandatory, I'd highly recommend it. You'll learn a lot more, have WAY more fun, and, if you ask questions, he will always take time to explain the answer. It's an easy class with essential information everyone needs anyway. This class is worth it!!!
This class is tough with a lot of material covered in just 16 weeks, but Dr. Petti makes it fun and takes his time explaining everything thoroughly. His lectures are very interesting and he's hilarious. Participation is very important for this class because the lectures and labs are all you have. No homework. 6 exams. Highly recommend this class!!
Kevin rocks! Health is a mandatory class but with Professor Petti, you will actually enjoy the class. I highly recommend him
Dr. Petti is one of the best professors I've ever had. He put so much passion and energy in his lectures. Also, he takes the anatomy beyond the medical world by exposing it through the art. He has incredible sense of humor. You will never be boring in his lectures! Be ready to study a lot. It is the best way to know about anatomy and physiology.
I was dreading that this course was going to be boring but after finishing this semester; this professor proved me wrong. I learned a lot and will apply some of the lectures to be more aware of the truth. A cool guy that makes lectures fun.
Dr. Petti is awesome! If you want an enjoyable fun class without even realizing you are learning, take him. No homework, only studying which is so much less stressful. Go to lecture and lab. His lectures are funny and lab is a big study session for the tests. Get the book makes studying easier using Mastering AP study area online. SIGN UP!!
Dr. Petti is the best professor I have ever had in college. He takes a challenging course and turns it into something fun. I always looked forward to coming to this class. He truly wants you to succeed in this course. Be ready to learn lots of new information that will be extremely useful in the long run.
Dr. Petti is the best health 101 professor. Lectures are fun and entertaining but still focused. It shows in every class section that he loves the material and cares that students are engaged. Our class consisted of 3 exam, a short paper and a final. As long as you attend class the course should be a breeze.
Dr. Petti was by far the best professor I have had in college. He is very passionate in what he does and he wants the best for each and every student. His lectures were enjoyable and engaging with a few jokes and stories to keep us on our feet. If you dont go to class dont expect to pass. Prepare to study a lot. BUY THE LECTURE NOTES!!!
Amazing lectures. He is super entertaining and really knows his stuff. I looked forward to this class even though it was so early in the morning. Be prepared to study a lot. But the lecture notes. He is very straight forward and lets you know what you need to learn to pass. No curveballs. The final was a breeze (relatively)!
I wish Professor Petti could teach all the classes I need to take! He is passionate about Health and teaches in a way where you want to go to class. I definitly recommend him and this class. He let us know on the first day that you dont need the book, i returned it and went to every lecture and did great.
Dr Petti is awesome. He talks to you with stories and real life, not just generic textbook information. He is also understanding and just appreciates his students wanting to learn.
Great Professor and obviously cares about his students. Very passionate about his work and teaching his students. Study beforehand, science terms start to get heavy after first exam. Understanding about absences. Makes health class interesting and engages the students. Happy I took health with him :D
He is one of the best instructors that I have had at Miramar college. He is so knowledgeable, and I have learned a lot from him.
Great teacher who cares about his students. Lectures are engaging and breaks down concepts very easily.
He was a great professor and always tells the truth about everything I think everyone should take him
I think professor Petti is the best professor I have had at Miramar College. I have learned a lot from his class since he is knowledgeable, and he tells the truth. I took his Biology course before, and I hope there will be more courses in the future.
Professor Petti was amazing and by far one of my favorite professors at Miramar. You won't regret taking his class. I was sad most of the semester had to be online because he had amazing lectures in person.
Solid professor. Class was very easy and straightforward 4 tests and a self assesment paper by the end of the semester, lectures are easy to understand and as long as you go over your notes then you're set for the test.
Seriously best on-line class ever - even better than my online classes at an expensive private school :) Other teachers should take note! His lectures are very thorough, passionate, stimulating and very relatable. He makes sure his students are engaged and encourages them to get their homework done! Kudos to your first on-line class well done!
Professor Petti gave amazing lectures. This was his first online class due to the pandemic, and he made it seem so natural. His lectures were very informative and kept my interest. If you are not able to listen to the live zoom lecture, they are recorded to watch when you have the time. His lectures are relevant and well thought out. Great class.
Most respectful/respected professor I've had! The textbook isn't mandatory because he fits all the info into his lectures in a way that keeps the average student mind engagedeven for someone with a short attention span like me. He is very passionate about teaching and goes ABOVE AND BEYOND to help students succeed. Take notes and you'll get an A!
It was an awesome class and hes so easy going. Do your work and youll get an A. Its not that hard. He makes the lectures fun and interesting so even that isnt bad at all. Would totally take one of his other classes again.
Wow, you would be fool to not register with Professor Petti. He is an amazing and astounding Professor. I wish there were more teachers like him at the college levels. He is respectful, kind, generous and leaves room for humor in his lectures. He takes the time to thoroughly explain his expectations and they are achievable. Embrace! Enjoy! Learn!
I am glad that I had a chance to have a class with professor Petti. He is very organized. Nothing unexpected will happen in this class that makes you upset or surprised. Because at the first of semester you know what and when are your quizzes, extra credits, due dates, and lecture's power points. He fallows his schedule and very knowledgeable.
I took his summer class online and honestly, had so much fun! His lectures were descriptive and covered everything that was on the exams -- and more! He made the course interesting and if I ever have the opportunity, I would love to take another one of his classes.
Professor Petti is an amazing professor. His lectures are interesting, engaging, and entertaining. He is very receptive to e-mails and is welcoming in his office hours. Contacting him for help was NEVER an issue. BIOL 160 is not easy. It's a lot of work, but Prof makes success 100% attainable with how hard he works to be there for his students
Prof Petti is a very good speaker and does his best to keep the class engaged by telling stories and asking us questions. If you don't pay attention or study on your own, then it will be a very difficult class. But, he gives you all the tools needed for success. One of the best professors I ever had!
Professor Petti is a very professional person, ready for the lecture to give. He is knowledgeable about the material he teaches. He makes it very easy to stay engaged in lectures and material.
Dr. Petti was a fantastic professor for BIOL160. He connects human anatomy to Italian history which makes the lectures more interesting. He has a great personality and is fun to interact with in class. Dr. Petti really cares about your learning and puts in 100% effort into making sure you understand the material. I wish he taught BIOL 230 and 235.
Hes really a good professor hes material is not that hard and really good lectures and good at explaining and answering your questions would really recommend to take his class
As a 40-something college student, I wasn't sure what to expect. Professor Petti's style was based on 'truth'. His genuine honesty reverberated throughout the entire class and incited open, vulnerable discussions. These discussions coupled with the syllabus inspired more education than I could have ever expected. Best professor ever.
Professor Petti was by far the best online Professor I have ever had! He really made this class enjoyable having it be online. He really shows his passion towards the topics in this class and encouraged a welcoming atmosphere for the students. He provides all the needed information in his files and was easy to follow.
Can't find a single negative thing to say about this class or how it was presented . one of the most enjoyable classes I have ever had!
Dr. Petti is so enthusiastic and gives great lectures. He truly cares about his students success and makes himself available for questions outside of class. Hes very straightforward about what is expected in his class. A&P is an intense, fast paced class but if you attend lectures and study his notes, youll do great. Hes in my top 3 of profs!
He was amazing. His lecture was very good and informative. His class was not easy, but not difficult. If you read the lectures and study, you will did great on the test.
Professor Petti was probably one of the easiest to listen to during lectures and no tough homework and he gives very clear lectures and if you have a question he will answer them clear
Professor Petti is amazing! His class is so interesting and so much laughter. You will never fall asleep, and learn so much from his lectures.
Kevin Petti is an excellent professor. I was in his four-week class in the spring semester of 2021. He always tries to convey a lot of great information during his class. I wish I would be in 16 weeks instead of 4 weeks because his lecture attracted me a lot.
This class was a blast and I'm bummed it lasted only 4 weeks. Professor Petti made the lectures informative, eye opening and entertaining at the same time. The material is easy to digest and you won't have any problem completing the tests. If you get a chance, don't hesitate to take his class! You won't be disappointed.
There is a reason why Professor Petti's class fills up so quickly (and stays full!). He is an amazing Professor who is personally invested in the success of each and every one of his students. He is focused on making sure students are prepared for entering into the real world of health care. If you read, study and ask questions you will do great!
Took his online class (16 weeks). My mom took his class when she was in college and loved it. I decided to take his class because of my moms recommendation and it was the best choice I made. He is very caring and respectful. If you have the choice to take one of Professor Petti's classes you should, you won't regret it! :)
One of the best professors ive had. He makes his lectures very interesting and gives a lot of useful information. Hope to attend of of his classes again.
Kevin is one of the most passionate and fun teachers Ive ever had. Anatomy is a dense topic with tons of information but I found myself constantly laughing out loud in kevin's class. The tests are rigorous but fair. I have taken many classes where I have immediately forgotten the material after I received my grade, but this class will stick with me
Kevin Petti is great! He mixes art, history, and personal anecdotes into his lectures to break up the dense material and keep class fun and interactive. You can tell he really cares about the topic and his students. Not an easy class, A LOT of material is covered and you need to study outside of class too if you want an A. But definitely worth it!
Kevin Petti is by FAR the most phenomenal Professor I have ever had the privilege to learn from. He is passionate about his craft, & inspires the same within you to learn. You truly learn in his class. Countless gems within his lectures with historical facts that are fascinating to learn. He cares about his students & gives it his all every day.
I absolutely would love to take other classes with Dr. Petti. He's extremely engaging, informative, and gives a good amount of time to do what needs to be done.
Dr. Petti was one of the best professors Ive ever taken in my life. He cares about his students and their success and hes a very fair grader. During the pandemic he was very flexible with class attendance and respected how we had lives outside of class. But just make sure to study for the exams and post on the discussions; you will do just fine!
Professor Petti had a great connection with students, yet remained very professional and organized. I really wish ALL professors had this dynamic. Students would be more successful in their classes.
Literally one of, if not the best, teachers I have ever had. Dr. Petti is clearly extremely passionate about his work so he makes class/material really interesting and easy to learn. He is also really clear in his expectations and is extremely helpful outside of class. He clearly cares about his students and their success. 10/10!
The lectures were good and insightful. The Professor is very caring, asks how everyone is doing. I loved the class there was a discussion post every week and four exams. It wasn't an overwhelming amount of work.
Professor Petti is hard to rate because although he means well, he tends to be extremely overbearing. He needs to calm down on shoving Covid-19 down our throats any chance he gets. The abrasiveness was just too much, for example: he refused to move on in lectures until someone responded to his many, nauseating, rhetorical questions. He's Just ok.
Nice guy, easy class, nothing bad at all.
I took online non mandatory to attend meetings but records live lectures to have students engage and participate. I love Prof. Petti because he made learning fun.
Def the best professor I've had. Reignited my love of learning through his lectures. Course wasn't difficult, not much hw other than studying for exams and watching lectures.
Mr. Petti was by far one of the greatest teachers I had. I just finished his health 101 class and I highly highly highly recommend Mr. Petti as your teacher. He is very committed to his students and is very passionate about his teaching. I would gladly take another class with him. Thanks for a good semester!
Best lectures, very helpful and he sets you up to succeed.
Great lectures. I had to take his class remote and could only watch the recordings so I feel I missed out even though the lectures were really good to watch. I'm sure his lectures would have been even more enjoyable in person.
Professor Petti is passionate about what he teaches. There are a few assignments throughout the semester. He conducts live lectures twice a week but if you cannot assist he posts them on canvas. Very flexible with grading and his ultimate goal is to tell us the truth.
Recorded lectures, but recommend joining live. Can ask questions anonymously by chat which saved me from embarrassment. Few assignments, no textbook required. Eng isnt my first language and there were many words I never knew, but he explains them well. Its a bargain to be able to take a class w/ a prof with that much credibility for the $ of CC.
Best Professor. Take his Anatomy class. Obviously not "easy", but great teacher if you want to learn. Fair. Put in the work, it's not tricky.
I was nervous to take HEAL 101 since I knew very little about health. I was super pleasantly surprised by how interesting Dr. Petti made the content! He's centered on teaching the truth behind science. Scientists often overcomplicate stuff, too, and I really liked that he simplified stuff to make it accessible to us. Really interesting class!
His 4 week Health 101 class is stellar. His lectures are great at keeping you captivated. You can tell he loves what he does by how enthusiastic he is. He is extremely clear on what you need to do to pass the class and he's an easy grader, if you do the work. I would totally take a class from him again. He cares and it shows. Great professor! A+
This class helped me to realize the importance of my lifestyle and how the decisions I make affect my future. I think the prof did a good job of focusing on these topics with only a few assignments (weekly quiz and film questions) to bring focus to the important concepts. The lectures were very interesting since it would be useful to my life.
Professor Petti is kind, personable, and super knowledgable. I really enjoyed his lectures and wish I could take another one of his classes. Clear grading criteria and straightforward assignments so you can actually focus on understanding the content and enjoying the lectures!!
Dr. Petti is a fantastic professor who sets you up for success! He gives tips on how to remember complicated material and breaks down intimidating topics. Do note that he speaks fairly quickly. I recommend you print out the PowerPoints that he provides and take notes on your laptop. I am so thankful I had him as my professor! He is a gem!
Professor Petti is an incredible educator, if you have the opportunity to take one of his classes do yourself a favor and do it.
I definitely recommend taking Bio160 with Professor Petti!! He's one of the best professors you'll ever meet. Lectures are clear and he breaks them down in a way that is understandable. Study hard for tests and you'll do great! 6 exams online and 6 exams in the lab. The class is pretty straightforward!
Good professor. Bio 160 is hard enough to learn as it is, he breaks it down to a simple understanding level. Incorporates relevant art and history into lectures. It is rare to find a professor that has a passion for teaching and legitimate care for students to understand material.
Experience Human Dissection with Dr. Petti was one of the best college classes I have ever taken. Dr. Petti is passionate, knowledgeable, and hilarious. I appreciated that his lectures on human anatomy and physiology typically included backgrounds in art and history from a medical perspective. This class is an absolute must for any medical career!
I took Dr. Petti's class this past spring semester and he is honestly one of the best professors I've had. I highly recommend him as a prof. Not a dull moment in his lectures and labs. He is very passionate and knowledgeable. He sets up his students for success and is always available for extra guidance. Thank you for all that you do, professor.
He has so much knowledge to give and is more than willing to explain topics that aren't understood in detail. This class was an amazing and unforgettable experience that broadened my knowledge of the human body. He incorporates history and art into the class, which was a unique and educationally fulfilling way to go about the subject in my opinion.
This class is for people who are genuinely interested & inspired by biology, and this is the class that solidified my major - Dr. Petti is an incredible lecturer, but this class is not an easy A. You need to study hard for the exams, but he provides extremely clear study guides & lots of study material drops your worst multiple choice AND practical
Dr. Petti has a unique lecturing style that inspires his students and only preaches the TRUTH in his lectures. Guarantee he will make you laugh and make you feel involved in his class. His class is difficult as he states from the very beginning, but totally worth it and it was a pleasure to be his student. Only 3 hw assignments the whole year.
Professor Petti is by far the best Professor I have had. He connects with students and cares about your success. You can tell Anatomy is his passion. He throws in a couple jokes to keep you interested in his lectures. He is also very clear with instructions that are easy to follow. Just go to class and you will do fine. Great Professor.
Professor Petti is by far the best lecturer I've ever had! He's super knowledgable and he teaches in a way that keeps you interested. You can tell he really cares about his students and he loves what he does. His tests aren't hard if you actually study for them. There are 10 extra credit points on each test, so you'll be fine if you're prepared.
Wonderful professor! I would definitely take his class again because all the things he teaches will remain with you. I want to pick his brain some more. LOL! BIO is already hard, so he makes it a lot easier for you to understand the subject by breaking it down and integrating it into what you know about your body.
Dr. Petti was fantastic. I came back after a 10 year hiatus, but with his pre given lecture notes, recorded lectures, advance notice of what would be on each exam/lab and practice exams, I was able to keep up with everything. Would definitely recommend and would take another class of his in the future.
Professor Petti has been one of my favorite professors that I've ever had. His lectures are actually entertaining and he knows how to keep the class engaged. He's also extremely understanding and just an overall great person. Would definitely recommend taking one of his courses if you're considering it.
Professor Petti is passionate about teaching and he relates his lecture to history/art and you not only learn about his class but a little bit more. His canvas layout is very easy to follow so there won't be no surprises. Just keep up with the assignments and quizzes and study for the lab and you'll do great in this class.
Professor Petti is devoted to his students and to his work. His lectures are interesting, informational, and easy to follow. Study for exams, and don't miss class and you shall pass. Professor was passionate to teach throughout the entire semester and respects all his students.
Professor Petti was amazing! He is very straightforward with the course and due dates. Attendance is important! Although he does have prerecorded lectures, lecture notes, helpful videos, and study guides online! He is understanding and very kind to all students, definitely one of the best professors I have ever had!
Italian-Philly style professor that teaches how he looks: honest, flamboyant with pragmatic pedagogy. Student-centric: we falter, he takes responsibility. Dr. Petti gracefully recognizes our learning challenges are not reflective of us and is really skilled at tweaking the wording of questions to make it easier for us to grasp what he's teaching.
He knows what he is teaching and he loves what he does. Even though this is a difficult subject, he makes things incredibly easy and straightforward to understand, his lectures are actually engaging and interesting to listen to that you would want to go to class! Just be prepared to hear about his Italy trips with lots of pictures and side stories.
Genuinely enthusiastic professor who connects science with history and art. He provides study guides (tells you exactly what's on the exam), short videos, practice exams, and an online textbook. There is 1 online multiple-choice exam 1 one in-person practical exam w/ essay questions and models for each unit . Easy A if you put in time to study
Kevin Petti is an exceptional Professor. He is lenient, kind, understanding, understood, and respected. He is also funny, cool, and laid back. I would definitely take him no questions asked!!
Petti will be the best you'll ever take!!! He provides the textbook for FREE. The lab is extremely engaging not hard. Labs are dissections and study time. Attendance not required, and you will regret if you skip. The exams are not difficult at all! Study guides are posted in advance. He knows the topic very well and is passionate about teaching.
Dr. Petti is my favorite teacher I have ever had in college and probably ever. He's charismatic, hilarious, and really knows his stuff. Very passionate about what he teaches and keeps all his lectures very interesting. Despite going to his class at 8 am in the morning I had never fallen asleep once in his class because he's that good at lecturing.
Dr. Petti is an extraordinary professor who is both master of his subject and someone who teaches it with enthusiasm and clarity. Even if you're not already thinking about a career in allied health, you might still consider taking his course while it's being offered (and/or join the sessions in Italy, budget permitting). Bravo e grazie mille!
KP taught an amazing human anatomy and physiology class! He's very knowledgeable and taught the course material so well while also making lectures/labs fun and engaging. His grading criteria is very clear and easy to follow. He makes very specific study guides and tells you what you need to know for the exams. Loved his class, amazing professor!
TAKE THIS CLASS. He is amazing but yes you do have to study he has 6 exams throughout the course but it is worth it, as long as you study what is on the guides you should be fine and he provides PDF for the textbook, he is super funny and just the best professor I have had. You can see he cares a lot and it makes you want to learn more!
Kevin is the absolute best teacher I have had in a while. I would 100% want Kevin to be my teacher for every class I take. If you are looking for a fun class and a fun teacher, I would really recommend this class.
Petti was an awesome teacher! you do have to study to succeed but he makes it very clear what u need to study and makes it very easy to pay attention! very attentive and it labs/lectures were very entertaining! 100% would take another class with dr.petti!
Professor Petti is a must-have professor. He was so insightful and showed so much wisdom for a topic he loves. He inspired me to pursue what I might not have seen as an option. He was always straightforward, open to conversation, and never failed to make us laugh. I found all of his history, art, and anatomy lessons amazing.
Dr. Petti is one of the best professors I've had so far. He's really funny and sweet. You do have to study a lot to pass his class but he's always happy to help if you have any questions. I would definitely take one of his classes again.
Professor Petti is engaging and passionate about the subject. He provides great resources like study guides and practice exams to succeed. Labs are fun, and attendance is important but not mandatory. unstuckstudy ai was also helpful for exam prep.
He is the best professor I have ever had- really cares about every single student and makes it very clear. Truly passionate about the subject matter as well (anatomy) and always connects it to everyday life as well. So funny and brings a lot of humor to class as well
He is co-author of the textbook we used in class. Dr. Petti is the best professor I've ever had, he makes learning an exciting and an inspiring experience. I was a bit intimidated by BIO 160 but he cleared out my impostor syndrome with his amazing passion for teaching and knowledge. The funniest and most inspiring class you will ever take:)
Dr.Petti is by far the best professor I have had! After having to retake this class, he made it way more understanding while also being interesting enough to keep students engaged. He prepares you for the clinical world in addition to everyday lectures and labs. He also if very clear on what you will need to know for each test.
Of all my professors between undergrad, grad school, and here, Dr. Petti has been the most engaging of all of them. He has his lectures down to a tee and emphasizes the important details well. His 8AM lecture was a good way to start the day. The content and exams are difficult, but he distills the info to make it approachable.
I've had 15+ professors so far and I've never rated any of them, but I had to rate Professor Petti! He's a really cool guy and he made lectures fun. Having a lecture first thing in the morning can be rough but I always felt excited for class and for what I was going to learn. The class is a lot but if you study and pay attention you will be fine!
Lectures of Dr. Kevin Petti are so interesting and easy to understand. He gives hints for easy memorizing. He is the best professor!
One of my fav classes despite all the info to absorb. Makes videos, focuses on visual learning, & provides study guides. Attend lectures & study given material; you'll ace this class! Lectures are down to a T, and he's so enthusiastic, hilarious & passionate during them. An exceptional Prof & intriguing class! I'd take any other class he teaches.
BEST PROF EVER! Anatomy is hard, but Dr. Petti made it so easy! Amazing person, puts all his love and knowledge of the topic into the lectures. Attendance isn't mandatory, but you'll miss out of you don't go! Lectures are so interesting. Study guides are exact, multiple choice online and practical in class- just STUDY! No hw. Going to miss class!
Best professor ever!! We went abroad to Italy where content about anatomy and art was heavily integrated into Italian history and culture. Professor gives you online content to complete before leaving. Lots of readings but very fun to complete since you will see what you are reading about in person in a few weeks. BEST CLASS EVER!!
I cannot sing Dr. Petti enough praises. He is an incredible teacher and knows what he's talking about. He makes extremely dense and difficult material easy to understand. He loves Italian culture and makes sure to show the cultural relevance of what he's teaching. I feel bad for those that will not have the pleasure of taking his class!
Love him so much
Amazing teacher, very clear he has such a passion for what he teaches. Everything you need is so well organized in the modules for this class. Study study study. If possible maybe take the class if you don't have a full school schedule. Time management will be your friend. Take his class!!
Professor Petti made learning fun! His lectures are funny and engaging. He provides you with exactly what you need to know to succeed in his class. Studying is a must because there is so much material you have to learn and memorize. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I was able to learn. He is a must take! You will not regret it.
