Incredibly nice and easy to approach!
Very interested in helping you succeed one of the best teachers ive had and thats saying something, cause i hate most of them
Very nice. Good teacher for a challenging subject.
Take this prof for any class she teachs. She makes the class fun, brings snacks, and is overall very helpful to students. If one student is doing poorly, she helps them. No one could fail her class unless they didn't want to help themselves. And everyone who has ever taken her, loves her.
Doc is an amazing professor! She is always willing to answer questions, and has a great sense of humor. Her tests are challanging, but if you put in the effort, you will do well in her class. I took this class online, and was amazed how quickly she returned e-mails.
She's crazy and I love her. She so funny. She makes the class so much fun and extremely entertaining. I can't wait to have her teach me A&P 2.

Absolutely awesome! Wonderful professor. I would highly recommend her. She makes you want to learn. So much fun!
Such a great teacher. Knows her stuff and makes class fun. It's not fair to grade her on "easiness" because A&P is just a tough class....period. But she makes it interesting and will help a student in any way she possibly can. As an added bonus...she curves! Would recommend her for any class she teaches. Fantastic teacher!!!!
I am taking the class online right now and It is really hard, however Doc makes it more interesting and fun. She is always in a good mood and she makes us laugh by making jokes and being silly.
AWESOME Educator! Upbeat, enthusiastic, great sense of humor, open minded... can not recommend enough~!
Wonderful teacher!!! I cant say enough how great she is. She is extremely helpful, and really trys to make the class fun for everyone, she's funny as hell. One of the best teachers ever!! The class is difficult but thats not her fault that is just how A&P is, but she curves everyhting and drops a few quizzes too so that helps a lot. She's GREAT!!!
Amazing teacher..so fun, energetic..always look forward to going to her class. very approachable and helpful. cant say enough good things about her.
She is the superstar teacher in the HVCC Science department. She inspires everyone in the room! Fair, fun and highly highly recommend her above any other professor at HVCC!
Interesting and entertaining professor who presents the material clearly. If the material is by its nature challenging, that's not her fault. She tells you what you need to know. Recommended. Just don't let her catch you being silly with the animals you dissect.
She is absolutly amazing! She is by far the best teacher I have ever had. She keeps the class interesting & very fun. Tests are very fair & she makes sure to weed out all of the info. that we dont need to know.
Awesome teacher!!
MASTRANGELO ROCKS! BEST SCIENCE TEACHER AT HVCC. NO ONE ELSE EVEN COMES CLOSE.
She is the greatest!! She is very helpful, and makes learning the material entertaining.
I highly recommend Dr.M for any Biology classes (plus Genetics). She is the most wonderful prof I ever had! Her lectures and labs are just interesting, fun and entertaining! I was lucky to take classes with her! Thank you, Dr. Mastrangelo!
Mastrangelo does a good job at making a hard topic as easy to grasp as possible. Totally on top of things, great in lab and lecture.Take her before any other at HVCC.
Best teacher I ever had!!
Mastrangelo for president! Everyone loves her, everyone gets interested, everyone goes to class. perfect professor...I have learned so much!, thank you Doc...you made me want to learn and want to work hard...
Doc takes teaching very seriously and it pays off with the success of her students. Shes funny, and she can explain any topic with ease. I wish she taught more courses. I loved going to lab, to learn from her. The BEST at HVCC by far.
Doc is a great professor. I won't kid you- her tests are tough- but it is b/c she wants you to really grasp the info. Took A&PII online and wish I had been able to take it in person with her- her lectures must be great. She is EXTREMELY helpful & will go out of her way to make sure you succeed if she knows you are willing to do the work. Doc rocks!
DOC is an AMAZING professor. She is gets you motivated to learn the material and is extremely helpful on what you need to know for quizzes and exams. I would love to take more courses with her. Definitely take her!!!
Doc is amazing, funny, and cares about her students. For those considering taking A&P I online, I highly recommend it as long as you can dedicate long hours to studying. She'll help out in anyway she can, but know that it is a difficult subject to learn without her lectures. Use her study outlines; they're lifesavers for all her tests.
simply the best. everyone who was a student, still wants to be her student. she needs to teach more classes, hard to get in.
Doc is such a great teacher, I wish I had her for lecture. she's the first prof at HVCC that I am intrigued by her lectures. Her explanations are so basic and easy to understand, she is not fake and doesn't try to impress you with junk you don't need to learn anyway. If you can, take her class. She's fantastic!
Doc is wonderful. I am a bio major and had to take some awful profs until I got to her level classes. If you take her class, you will be back for more. I loved her. Everyone loves her. And, you learn so much!
Great teacher, I took her for A&P online and lab over the summer. She was great! Her tests were straight forward and she was really helpful and easy to understand :)
Simply the best at HVCC. As a bio major, no other prof even comes close to the great DOC. You will love her.
Great professor! Willing to help, course is not easy by any means but she is willing to help you! Excellent professor and such an asset to the college!
So Far, So Good. Clear, fun and gives you what is important. Nice Woman. Must PAY Attention for she will tell you what to expect on tests. Is open for questions. I recommend her.
The coolest person ever. No one like her! Take her, you will love her too. She actually teaches and we actually learn! Odd for an HVCC science class...
Great Professor! I had her for A&P I this semester. I took her evening class, and although I am not going to pass due to my personal issues this semester. She is the absolute best professor I have ever had. She is extremely helpful. She is always so willing to work with you and you actually want to go learn in her class!Best professor @ HVCC!
The best professor @ HVCC! I had her for A&P I - evening class this semester. Although I am not going to pass due to my own personal issues this semester, she is by far the best professor I have ever had. She is extremely helpful, and willing to work around your schedule whether that be with work, or another class. She makes you want to learn!
Anatomy is a tough class. This teacher shows she wants to help every student pass. She curves every test including the final. We all did super bad on one test so she gave us all a 100! She wants you to succeed. Awesome teacher!
The best teacher at HVCC. SO helpful (which you need for A&P II!) I didnt dread going to class because of her humor. If you can get into a class with 'Doc' you are very lucky!
A&P as all others had said, isn't easy. But Doc makes it interesting. I took A&P online with Lab in on Campus. If you come to Lab and stay. You will know what to expect on the Lab test and the Lecture exams. You wants you to pass her class. She is the best Teacher.
One word. Wonderful. Doc can teach! Funny, cute, smart and really interested in her students. Lectures with topics ON the exams, not like other HVCC professors. Fair and approachable.
One of the best professors I have ever had. Doc is full of energy and great information, if you get the chance to take a class with her, DO IT! Yes, you need to study hard to do well in her classes, but she makes it worth it! You will learn the material with her amazing lectures and labs. Wonderful human being.
Dr. M is GREAT!!!! HVCC's best professor!
Dr. M. is a very nice person. Very laid back and funny! She provided review lists for all the tests. If you know the topics on the list,you will do well on the tests. She was always readily available for questions in person or by email.
Mastrangelo is great! Best teacher in my college career. Down to earth and knows how to explain tough stuff. Took over for a sick teacher, and wowed us with her teaching ability, sense of humor and knowledge. It was like going from economy to first class with Mastrangelo taking over.
MASTRANGELO IS AWESOME!
She's GREAT! FUN! REFRESHING! Responds well to questions. However, one word of caution! For essay questions on her tests, just answering the question is not enough. She expects extra info. When I discovered that, I started writing long paragraphs as answers, and that made a huge difference. I recomend recording her lectures for test prep
Mastrangelo is really great, funny, and has a way of teaching that you don't even realize how much you are learning. Take her!
She treats you like a peer and teaches you without making you feel stupid. She is an AMAZING woman and I am SO thankful to have had her!
What a wonderful, wonderful professor. I have learned so much, and sad that the semester is over. I wish Dr. Mastrangelo taught experimental biology, maybe then we would have learned something.
OUT STANDING, I WILL BE TAKING HER FOR A&P11 THIS SUMMER. I HAD TO WAIT A YEAR TO GET INTO HER CLASS FOR A&P11. she want you to learn. when A&P 1 STARTED TO GET TOUGH PEOPLE WAS GOING TO DROP THE CLASS, SHE SAID NO ONE IS DROPPING THE CLASS WE ALL ARE GOING TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE GET THROUGH TOGETHER HVCC IS BLESSED TO HAVE HER. SHE NEED AN AWARD.
Dr. Mastrangelo is a jem! First of all she is funny & makes you want to come to class & secondly, she truly cares about her students. If you don't good in her class, it's your fault. She is willing to help you and WANTS you to succeed!
excellent lectures. Knows her stuff. funny and we learn so much.
Doc is great! She's extremely caring and helpful and wants you to succeed. Even if biology is not you're thing you will still want to go to class because you spend entire time laughing. TAKE HER CLASS!!!!
The best! I love her!
Dr. M is GREAT! Best class ever. You will love her, and you will learn! Really showed me how a GREAT teacher can make a HUGE difference.
One of the coolest and most down to earth teachers I've ever had. She's always willing to help you out (school OR personal life!). Makes lecture and tests/lab quizzes easy because she tells you exactly what's on them! I'd say easy A if you put time and effort into studying and understanding material. Overall great class.
Even though this is a really tough class, Doc is more than willing to help you out if you are serious about succeeding! (I know it sounds corny but its true.) She is so nice - & funny! :) My advice to anyone taking this class is to jump in from day 1 with both feet, don't fall behind, & stick with it!
By far the BEST professor I've ever had at HVCC! She actually makes A&P interesting! Use the textbook! If you read chapters and listen to her in class you will be fine. She is excellent at her job. She really does try to help her students understand the material. If you put in the effort, this class shouldn't be a problem at all. Everyone loves her
I did half this course online and half in the classroom. I loveddddd this class. Mastrangelo made this class fun and she always wanted to help out when she could. The class does take studying but if you go in for help and study whats on the lab sheets and test reviews you will get an A. I did!!
WONDERFUL PROFESSOR. Well prepared and always energetic to teach. Can you clone her for all my other classes?
She is nice and helpful. I had her for A&P 1 &2 online. Test and lab work on campus but online quizzes on BB. Her test not bad as long as you study & lab quizzes easy. Got an B for A&P1 & C+ for 2 b/c it was the summer and I get distracted but could of made another B in the part 2. Don't need text but just study from lecture notes.
The best HVCC has to offer. Take her if you can
Best amazing wonderful professor in whole HVCC. Exams will be easy if you study the review sheet and come early to class for her 10 mins review before the exam. Take her you will not regret it I promise
Self learning class which lab is mandatory and i took the tests in classroom. Dr M is simply the best, amazing, most wonderful professor. ACTUALLY TEACHES YOU. makes class fun and is very energetic. Take her class if you have a choice. she lays everythign out for you in the beginning of semester. read the chapters and do her review sheets = A
Doc is the greatest. Only one to take for Anatomy at HVCC.
Doc can teach! You will like the class and love her.
Doc is the best professor I have ever had. I strongly urge everyone to take her. dont take anyone else for A&P at HVCC.
One of the best and most accessible professors I have had.
I took the hybrid option for this course. Doc is the best. She is available for extra help and a very easy to understand professor. You must be dedicated to take lecture online, so be ready. It's a hard course, but she is totally fair. Her teaching style is amazing and she has funny ways to remember so many things. I miss her already.
Wonderful and engaging professor!
Best teacher I have ever had. I am so grateful that I had her. If you want her as your professor you need to sign up as soon as classes open. She is the best! Wish she taught every subject.
Doc is approachable and knows her stuff. Excellent teacher. Funny and energetic.
Just started taking Dr. M's class this semester after a bunch of recommendations and I love her. She takes a hard topic and breaks it down into a silly story or way we won't forget some difficult stuff. Already, I say she's great
I took A&P online last semester and taking A&P 2 now with Doc. Its a hard but interesting course. Doc is very helpful. She will spend as much time with you as you need, you can ask her anything, she makes class interesting, and you want all your teachers to be like her.I highly recommend her, you wont be disappointed.
Doc is a really awesome professor, probably one of the best ive ever had. She is cut and dry but there is plenty of comedic relief too. The course material is tough, lots to learn but she is more than willing to help if you are willing to learn.
Dr. Mastrangelo is funny and our class becomes so relaxed that no one is afraid to ask questions. Dr. Mastrangelo is an excellent teacher, I love going to class. She was highly recommended and I also think she is wonderful. Best professor ever.
I hate to see this class with Dr. Mastrangelo end. I will never find a friendlier and more approachable teacher who actually knows the subject matter and knows how to teach it. HVCC has been lacking for me, but Dr. Mastrangelo is a true star at that college.
An absolutely awesome professor! I was sad to see the class end. She is helpful with any questions you have and has a great sense of humor. She gives good examples so information sticks in your head. If you pay attention in class and study what she tells you to then you will have no problem. I totally recommend her.
Absolutely awesome teacher! I took her last spring for A&P. She was very helpful with any questions. She has a way of relating with students and is very engaging on the subject. I totally recommend her!!!
I have been at HVCC for 3 semesters and Ms. Mastrangelo is the best teacher I've met, hands down. She makes it fun to learn, helps you as much as you need, and very laid back. I've tried to learn the same things from another BIO 270 professor and then went back to her, I understood within a few minutes. She is great and I cannot express it enough
Highly suggest her!!!
Very Helpful and Funny. She knows her material. I bet you that you will never get professor like Her In HVCC. She is 1 Peace and HVCC should be very proude to have professor like her. I loved Her even though I Got B. The reason i got B is, I did not put the amount of work i am supposed to.
Doc is truly an awesome professor and a one of a kind person. She tells you what you need to know, exactly what you need to study and helpful ways to study the material. She's been more of an advisor to me than my actual advisor at hvcc. She's a brilliant teacher, 100% take her for a&p and get to know her.
Doc was the best professor I've ever had in my 4 semesters at HVCC. She was funny and very straight forward. She made the class interesting and easy to learn. If I could take every class with a professor like Doc, I would without a doubt. Every college needs a professor like her!
This woman is a saint!! She is an amazing professor. Very smart woman, she is very humble about herself. She is very understanding of where her students are coming from. Loved her, highly recommend her!
I her Doc is an amazing professor, her lectures were very entertaining 2 say the least, I don't care how tired you are you will not be bored in her class. This was not an easy class but she was very thorough and makes sure you understand, but you must study. She is a teacher I would not mind taking again!!
Doc is THE BEST. Nothing else needs to be said. You learn and you love learning with her. Best science teacher at HVCC, I should know since it is my major.
Dr. Mastrangelo has all the things you want in a teacher. She is funny and really can break down tough stuff. She is a great lecturer and is now giving us videos of her lectures to study from if you miss a class. Dr. M really is a great professor, probably best at HVCC.
Doc is honestly the greatest teacher you could take for any Biology course. In Anatomy 270, she was amazing. I took A&P 1 with another professor and put in dozens of hours and came out with a D. I took it with Doc, who was down to earth and could teach well, and came out with an A. She is amazing. Take her if you can get a spot!!!
This class is hard and online is even harder! You must attend and study to succeed! Dr. Mastrangelo is one of the best professors that I have had so far. She will explain and help you with anything. She is very understanding to any situation. She even tells you about her failures to prove that she is not perfect. I can't wait to take biol 271
Everyone loves Doc because she's a funny, down-to-earth person. They also love her because she dumbs down courses that should be rigorous, and makes them easy to pass. The fact is, if you 're planning to take graduate-level courses that build on what you learn from her, you're going to have to teach yourself much more than what she requires of you.
Best professor I have had for a biology course. Very helpful and understanding when you are a tad lost. She will do her best to clearly explain the topic in layman's terms and does her best to make everyone pass the course with a good grade.
Doc is an incredible person. She is so helpful when it comes to anything from coursework, to even talking to you and working with you if you're having problems at home. She is great at lecturing, and makes really boring material quite enjoyable. I've taken her for 270, 271, and Nutrition next semester. If her class isn't full, jump in quickly.
She is a very sweet lady. She is more than willing to help you if you ask her for help. She responds quickly to her emails. She does talk quickly in her lectures, and you need to read before class because you will be lost otherwise. She is really informative and her test format is as simple as it could get. i took her for both A&P 1 &2.
Doc is a GREAT teacher! Took class online, she posted videos of her past lectures and posted videos for reviews of the test. You do need to study because all lecture exams are in lab. But she tells you what you need to study and is very clear about it. Defiantly take A&P with her!!!
Doc is the sweetest lady I have ever met. She will push you if you're not trying, she will always break things down for you in a different way if necessary, and will always be straight up with you. Best professor I have ever had, I wish she taught more classes.
The best prof I have ever had. Doc explained everything very well and always made sure everyone was prepared for the exams.
Doc is an amazing professor. She made everything in the course easy to understand and always gives a great lecture. She is one of the rare professors who wants to see her students succeed. Very easy to talk to and makes the subject interesting. I took genetics with her and I assume every class she teaches is just as great
Love her, she's one of the best professors I have ever had. Looking forward to A&P 2 with her next semester. Highly recommend her. I took this course with another teacher who gave me an F. I turned out to get a B with her! Enough said.
I really love this teacher. She put EVERYTHING online. If you do bad in this class it is out of pure laziness. She is amazing and helpful. She gave review sheets before every test, and the tests were hard, especially the lab quizzes, but she made it possible to get good grades for everything if you put in the effort.
Professor Mastrangelo can make any boring lecture interesting. She devotes herself to the class and truly wants her students to pass. She is very accessible outside of class and promptly responds to emails. The class is not easy but she does all she can to help. I wish I could have her for all of my classes.
Great teacher. Is available after class. Answer's emails quickly. Wonderful teacher!!
Doc is the best professor I have had at HVCC. She made me fall in love with A&P. She's so passionate about what she teaches & makes learning it enjoyable. All lectures are posted online so you can re-watch, study guides, always available, emails quickly. You have to study & def put in hours of work outside of class, but its worth it in the end :)
The class itself is a hard class but she makes it easier and a lot more fun. Lots of work but is very understanding and is always willing to help. Love her and she always try to make you smile.
Doc is truly amazing! I cannot see how anyone could have an issue with her courses. She's very straight forward with what she expects and goes above and beyond to help you get good grades. She's definitely a gem to HVCC (I've had a hard time finding such great professors).
Doc is amazing, defintely one of the best teachers I have ever had. She's so sweet, cares so much about you doing well and is absolutely hilarious. She tells you everything you need to know and doesn't put anything on her test or lab quizzes that she doesn't say, so in all honesty If you do bad with her it's on you and out of pure laziness!
If you ever have the option to take Mastrengelo, DO IT. Just do it. She's the best. She keeps lectures lively. She's so helpful and easy to talk to about the material. You will not regret taking a class with her
Doc is awesome! Would definitely recommend her, hands down! She is very clear in her expectations, always willing to answer questions and truly cares about her students. 2 great semesters with her!
DR.M is def the best prof i've had at hvcc. yes,its alot of material and you HAVE to study 6 hrs or more. she makes the class/material not boring. she is straight forward about what she expects on her tests and is understanding and helpful. gives you all the tools you need to succeed. not like other science teachers at hvcc. shes #1!!!
Great lecturers that keep you engaged! Hands down the best professor I have ever had. Yes the class is hard but she makes it fun, and is straight forward with what will be on the tests. She is very fair and is willing to go out of her way to help you understand a concept.
Took this class for the respiratory therapy program and it was the best class i've ever taken! Doc is HYSTERICAL and really cares about her students. She works really hard to make sure her students understand the material. The class is hard though and you need to study and do the work if you want an A. Super interesting and you will learn a ton!!!
She is AWESOME! Really genuine professor. Very clear on what she expects you to know, which is really helpful when there's so much material being taught. Really prepares you for her exams and quizzes. She knows her stuff and is always willing to help!
Shes really awesome. One of the best professors I have ever had. She is really caring, she treats students as if they were her own children. I truly respect her, and I wish I could take another class with her. All gratitude goes to her.
Everything is recorded and uploaded to BB so if you miss a lecture or lab you can watch, Great lecture notes very helpful and clear, understanding and will to let students take tests/quizzes when they feel ready// took both A&P 1 and A&P 2 would take EVERY class with her if I could
Doc is the best professor Ive ever had! Shes so extremely caring, understanding and very knowledgeable. If you do her lecture online, she post videos of her lectures which is awesome and super helpful! Shes very funny and will always keep you laughing. I definitely suggest you take her!!!! She gave me a big hug at the end of my final. So sweet!!
The best teacher ever! No she is not an easy grader, you have to actually put effort and do your work. But Mastrangelo cares about every one of her students, she is funny and caring. Study for her tests, and quizes and you will get an easy A! She gave me a hug after my finals shes just that awesome! I wished all the profs hvcc were like her!
TAKE ANY CLASS YOU CAN WITH MASTRANGELO. SHE IS A TRUE GEM. Seriously, she makes lectures so interesting and has a great sense of humor. Grading criteria is straightforward and she is one of the rare professors who actually cares about the success of each individual student. She is VERY clear about what will be on exams and will review w/ class
Wonderful professor and woman! Doc is great! She is meant to teach.
Wonderful Professor! Is there for you every step of the way! Makes lectures clear and understandable.
I love her in every way. She is caring, funny and makes learning easy. Everything in her lecture was on the test. She has all of her lectures recorded if you miss a day and so many resources to help you be successful. Yet she's incredibly humble. I've never retained more from a class, I'm still using what I've learned. Great professor, great person
One of the best professors I've had here so far! Love her class, although it is tough and has a lot of work I would highly recommend her if you need A&P as a requirement. Her lectures are fantastic and recorded so if you miss a lecture you can see what exactly you missed out on. Definitely use her review sheets to study for exams! Overall great
This is my second time taking A&P with Doc M as I am making a career change. Doc Mastrangelo is by far one of the best (if not, the best) college professors I have ever had. She is clear and to the point in her lectures. She provides easy ways to help memorize concept in a course that requires a lot of memorization. I always recommend her to others
She is always willing to help you understand the material anyway she can all you have to do is ask for help.
I Just wrapped up with Doc after 9 months. A&P 1 and 2. Tough classes, lots of material after all we are learning about the human body. However, she is very clear and concise, and makes learning easy. Be respectful, do you homework, study and you will pass!
Best professor I've ever had. She's super caring, understanding, and she's willing to work with you. Gives good review for all the tests and is so funny in her lectures. She keeps it very interesting and is just overall so wonderful.
Amazing professor. Take any of her classes. She is the best.
She is very nice and considerate, always willing to help but I don't like her teaching style. I don't think she explains things clearly and is kind of all over the place. There is also a lot of busy work which I don't find helpful because a lot of questions are based on things she doesn't go over in lecture or says we don't need to know for tests.
Doc M is one of the best professors I have ever taken. She really sets you up for success with all of the resources she makes available to you, especially the videos she makes for almost all of the course material. I wish there was more classes I could take with her!
Best teacher. Ever. Mastrangelo is hilarious and makes the material fun to learn. All lectures are recorded and uploaded so you can re-watch whenever - lectures are thorough, organized and polished. She sets super clear learning objectives and then tests fairly. Tests are usually curved. Wish I could take her for every class, highly recommend!
I love Doc!!! She is the best professor I have ever had, this coming from someone who has taken many classes at HVCC. She is caring, funny and just overrall a good person. She makes class fun and so you actually understand it. She does have you do a lot of busy work but it will all go towards you grade in the end. Love Doc!!
Doc is one of the best professors I've ever had. She's caring. kind, down to earth, and hilarious. She wants nothing more than to see you exceed in her class and gives you ever opportunity to do so - she is super accommodating. Her lectures and labs are fun and very well organized. You just have to put in some sort of effort and you'll be fine. A+
I just love her she is so down to earth considerate, helpful and intelligent & you know whats expected of you
Dr. Mastrangelo really is more of a friend than a professor. She is so down to earth and makes a tough class easy to approach. She lays out only the stuff you need for a test, is clear and concise about what is needed for the class, and she is absolutely hilarious! Love her!
Im so happy I landed with her as my A&P prof. She gives a lot of hw online and quizzes but all of these help so much with learning the material. During lectures she makes even the most difficult material short and easy to remember. She always makes sure everyone is caught up and understands. Shes hilarious and makes everyone comfortable in class!
Taking her BIO 125 class was the best choice I made all semester. The whole class was online and very straight forward. She has prerecorded lectures that are FAR from boring along with test review sheets for each exam. I have trouble studying, so the sheets were a lifesaver! She replies swiftly, and you can really tell she loves what she does!
Doc is by far the best BIO professor there is. She is HILARIOUS and not your typical professor. She makes adult jokes and its honestly great. She comes up with ways for you to remember really important topics. She replies to emails rather quickly. Her study guides are a for sure way to pass the class with no problem. Her lectures arent boring!
Doc was such a great teacher. I took her Anatomy and Physiology classes. 1 and 2. She has clear due dates and assignments and you always know what to expect. If you do the mastering homework and you use her lectures and study guides you WILL pass her course. Shes extremely helpful and easily accessible through email the entire semester.
Prof. M was my FAV Professor ever! I am so happy she taught my A+P. She is clear on what you need to learn to do well, gives you a lot of resources to study and do well, Review sheets, filmed lectures that you can reference later, and HW that actually helps you do well! She is super reasonable and makes the class fun! 110% would recommend!!
LOVE HER!!!!! dissecting a cat?? or anything for that matter F NO!!! but her personality and caringness made up for it!!!! shes hilarious, & sweet as pie. wants to actually see you succeed & is willing to help. she doesnt judge you at all! (no question is stupid to her) literally love her & deff recommend her 10000000%
I did end up dropping A&P I for personal reasons, but guys if you want a professor who cares about her students and goes above and beyond look no further. Mastrangelo is hilarious, and beyond helpful when you need it because let's be real A&P is no joke, and she always is there for you if you need someone to talk to. Would give 6/5 if possible!
Dr. Mastrangelo is one of the best lectures I have had at HVCC, she made me feel like I was not alone, she's just so awesome. Doc is very knowledgeable when it comes to her course, ask when you not clear, go through her lectures and study guides. She always responded to my emails on time and took time to meet me on zoom, definitely taking her again
Dr. Mastrangelo is an amazing person and professor! She is so easy to approach and talk to and super nice. I took her Nutrition class summer of 2022 and it was pretty easy. I would recommend taking her class!!
Mastrangelo is the best teacher I have ever had! Doc records all her lectures so if you don't remember something or missed a class they are all available for you to watch. Doc is also very amazing at giving you study guides so you know what to expect on all your tests. If you have a question ask because she will respond almost immediately.
Nothing but great things to say!!
Dr. Mastrangelo is a dream for non-traditional students. She is compassionate and understanding on top of being an outstanding professor. She makes concepts understandable, offers plenty of extra credit opportunities, and tells you almost everything you need to know for each exam. If you study and do the homework, you'll do great.
The best professor. Her lectures are amazing, and are fun to listen and learn. Extremely helpful and respectful to non- traditional students. She is always there to guide in the most simple way for the students to understand.
Dr. Mastrangelo is an excellent professor. Has a unique way of teaching, that made learning fun. Very kind and considerate. Would highly recommend.
-DO NOT NEED TO READ TEXTBOOK -The lecture material and what is on the exams are diff, Quizlet and Chegg A LOT, only reason I did well -Extra Credit after tests -Only test and quizzes -Sweet and understanding -ONLY watch lecture animations not the lecture vids. and look over the PowerPoints -Quizzes are all short answer -Tests are multiple choice
Doc is a kind and caring professor. She truly wants her students to do well and is very accessible. A&P II really gets into the weeds but she makes it clear what you need to know and how to understand it. If you put in the effort and show up to class, you will do well.
Exams are long, gives you hours of busy work that doesn't even help with exams, lectures are wordy and full of unnecessary chatter and lab practical are fill in without word bank. She isn't bad, just not great. Expect to work alot of hours on things other teachers can explain in less time and expect bad grades even after studying for hours.
Doc Mastrangelo is amazing, she lines out the review and a review video for every exam ensuring that students know what will be on the test. Her lectures are entertaining and she is genuinely a good teacher who knows how to connect her material to her students. She is the extremely kind and my personal favorite professor that I have had yet.
Professor Mastrangelo is one of the best professors I've had at Hudson Valley she is caring considerate and makes the class fun she gives a lot of opportunities to get higher grades through quizzes and homework assignments and her lab practicals are straight forward
Doc is a good teacher. It was an accelerated AP 1 course. I was burned out because it's a hard course in a short time, but, I survived bc of her. The test are hard and you have to work for good grades but the work is given to you and it is very clear. Her lectures are fun and digestible. If you do take accelerated or AP 1, take it with her!
Please, if you have the opportunity, take Doc's class. Without a doubt the best professor I have ever had the privilege of being taught by. Lectures are funny, engaging, while still being incredibly informative. So long as you put in the work, Doc will get you through it. Textbook isn't necessary since you get handouts. Just keep everything handy.
Great energy, responds quickly, would definitely take other courses with Dr. M
Doc is amazing!! Anatomy is a hard class with a lot to memorize. She sets you up for success and gives many analogy's to help with the material. She explains what will be on every test and lab quiz so you are never surprised. You will get a good grade in her class if you are willing to put in the work!!
Mastrangelo is an engaging professor who makes complex topics understandable. Attend class, use the textbook, and try Unstuck ai - it'll help you ace this course.
LOVED HER! taking another class with her
so helpful, i enjoy her classes so much
She is a great teacher I love her Dr Laura mastrangelo
Dr. Mastrangelo is truly the best professor I've ever had. She is the kindest, most genuine person you'll meet and she 100% sets her students up for success. I had her for both A&P I and A&P II, and she made it so that I actually retained and understood the materials taught. I definitely recommend taking her courses.
Dr. Mastrangelo was one of the best professors I have ever had. She was always ready to help, answered email/questions very promptly, and you could tell that she wanted you to succeed. Her class definitely had a lot of memorizing and a fair amount of work, but if you put in the time and effort it was great! I would highly recommend!
Shes the sweetest professor ever, she does give a lot of mastering hw tho so beware but I 10/10 recommend
She was AMAZING. So caring, and made an impact on me. A professor I won't forget. Take a class with her if you get the chance.
