subject is not hard but most of the questions come from the text not the med terms. he is nice, but he tells lots of stories.
Read the book and learn the terms. Get A's on first 3 exams, you don't have to take the final.
This class is very easy as long as you go to class and read the textbook it should be an easy A. The professor is very knowledgeable and fun tells a lot of funny stories. I would definitely recomment him.
He is very funny I loved his stories.....Go online and take the tests and memorize everything in the first chapter makes life easy!!!
Great teacher. He is more interested in you knowing how to break down the words, which is key to passing the exams. By the end of the class, you will learn that if you were to read a medical chart you would understand almost 99% of it. Great teacher and tells alot of jokes.
This class was really cool. Dr. Newmann was awesome and was really interested in sharing his sotries and knowledge. He wanted you to learn. The tests are all about memorizing the words and their roots from the charts in the chapters. If you get A's on the first 3 tests you are exept from the final.
i took this class summer B and there is an extreme amount of imformation! You need to attend class to see what will be covered on the exam..even though attendance is not required. if you get A's on your 1st and 2nd or 3rd exams depending on which semester you take the class you are exempt from the final. i got a B+ but with a lot of study time!
His knowledge and experience make this class great. His jokes make it interesting. Basically you just have to memorize the terms in the book but after all it is a terminology class. I recommend taking him!
Dr. Newmann wants his students to succeed. His exams are extremely fair and easy. All you have to do is memorize the prefixes and suffixes and read the book. If you make A's on the first 3 exams, you don't have to take the final. He curves every test. His stories are interesting and educational. Attendance counts. He is a really good guy.
he makes u laugh. u do not really need to go to class, since everythin is in the book. study really hard b/c each test is at least 5chapters w/ 60 questions. if get all A's on the exams, you dont have to take the final
He really wants his students to do well in the class. He is always happy to answer questions. His stories are pretty funny but sometimes a little off topic. If you make A's on the first 3 tests you don't have to take the final. The tests are quite easy as long as you have read the chapters. Make sure to learn the prefixes & stuff at the beginning.
You don't need to go to class everything is in the book for all exam and he doesnt take attendance. He wants all students to do well in class. If you have great memory you will have an A in this class all test are multiple questions straight from the book.
he says on the 1st day to read the book, focus on the prefix/suffix/roots tables- exams are just combos of these, ppl, can't get much more straight fwd than that. supplementary: chap exercises and reviews, use the cd to quiz yourself before exams (rec. going thru ALL learning styles). if you're confused, ask questions. voila, formula for an A.
Dr. Newman is a very helpful and easy-going prof. He keeps the class interesting w/ real stories. Attend is not mandatory but helps if you are missing that pt to earn an A.Don't get caught up in the hype of only studying the CD,questions do come from there but only a few.You MUST read the 3-4 pages chapters and most impor. understand ch. 1-5.
Def. take this class if your doing something for healthcare. Easy A! Use the book and ask him questions. He is super helpful. If you have taken both Anatomy classes then this class will be cake. You get A's on the first 3 exams you don't have to take the final. He is a doctor so he has MUCH experience. Great teacher.
excellent teacher- Easy A and you will learn a lot since he is a doctor
Prof Newmann is a doctor by day and also teaches at FAU. He is very nice and extremely helpful. Book is a must as that is where all of your terms will be coming from. You don't need to go to class if you have the book. Reads directly from each chapter. Tests come from the terms in the book. Take him if you can.
Great professor, although I wish I didnt have to go to class because he read the book, but he base it on his experience in medical field. He is helpful, and i recommend him to anyone. Study the chapters and youll do fine. Book is highly needed.
He is the most AMAZING professor I've ever had. Dr. Newmann teaches from experience and also offers information from the text. He is extremely genuine and cares for his students who show effort and interest in his courses. HIGHLY recommend taking his courses. I've taken both med term & health prof. Learned a lot and enjoyed it.
Dr. Newmann is a good guy and a good professor. He likes to teach from life experiences and anecdotes not from the book. So be prepared to hear all about his life, his wife and his medical career etc,
easy teacher! you take 4 tests and the hightest 3 will count! attendance is not mandatory but it would help to go every class as he goes over all the terms! not too bad but again this is college and there are numerous words try him I got 2 A's and one B+ and I was allowed to exemp the final, getting an A :)
Almost never went to class and got an A. He is very clear on what he is going to test. The book is a must. Just study the chapter which is not hard at all and you will get an A. Very funny and makes class fun the times I attended.
Dr. Newmann is the best professor I've ever had. He is hilarious. He teaches medical terminology & healthcare professions through his life experiences leaving easy ways to remember important topics for the tests. He wants his students to succeed. I wish he taught more courses.
Dr. Newmann is old school and still pretty awesome. Aside from a few some horrible Asian impressions (just offensive) and his constant reference to doctors as men (only) I know he understands that times have changed and he welcomes students from every background to talk with him and address issues. He's a teddy bear. Cheesy--take him. It's cake :)
He's a cool guy. Has stories for centuries! He doesn't take attendance. Everything is straight for the book. Everyone else pretty much said how he is. Could've gotten an A but I got a C+. It's 4 tests and drops the lowest grade. If your first 3 tests averages to a 93% and up you can exempt the final.
This is my first semester at FAU and this professor is pretty awesome. He has stories that keeps you engaged. Does not take attendance. Just buy the book and read it. Its medical terminology trust me the words will come to you fast...if you take him you cannot get less than an A if you do, you are lazy and should drop out ASAP
I loved this class! I learned so much from it and though you have to study a lot it is definitely worth it! His exams are clear and easy, so study the material which is the book & you will pass.
He's hilarious. Yeah the class was pretty easy but I also thinks it helps loads if you've already taken anatomy. If not, you'll probably have study a little more than most people. I studied a few days before an exam and they were really fair. Got my A and didn't have to take the final!
This was by FAR the easiest class i've EVER taken. He gave 3 super easy 1-2 page papers. He is hilarious and great to talk to. Brings in guest speakers & leaves class early . Really wished he taught more classes bc i'd be guaranteed an A. Take him for terminology or health professions.
ONLY has like 5 tests and nothing else. Really nice teacher, and tries to help you. Tests get harder after the first test. ALWAYS know all of the prefixes and suffixes and study the illnesses. I suggest note cards cause they're very helpful, go to s.i. sessions.
Definitely a must take! Awesome professor!
Professor Newmann was great! He's really funny and tries to make it entertaining. I think it's kinda hard to teach terminology because there's only so much you can teach.. the students have to really memorize the terms to do well. Show up to class, and take down notes of what will be on the test. There are only 4 (he drops your lowest grade).
Very nice guy, wants his students to learn and do well. I enjoyed his stories as they were interesting which kept me engaged in the lecture. My major is accounting and this was one of my favorite classes. Go to class and read EVERYTHING in the book, even if it doesn't look important because it might be. The TAs are also very helpful.
There are four tests (he drops your lowest grade). If you have an A after the first three tests, you can be exempted from the final. This guy is hilarious. Read the textbook and not just the suffixes and prefixes (trust me). The first test is the easiest!
Absolutely amazing! If you are Pre-Med must take hands down.
Honestly just read and understand the book. It's that easy. He's really nice his class is and easy A as long as you do the readings. There were 4 tests and he drops one. They really should put this med term class in the elective sheets for pre-med students cause it was super helpful.
Dr. Newmann was the best professor I had at FAU thus far. I took him last semester and I would take him again! I didn't even have the book and just used his PPTs to study from and still got an A. Passed the first 3 exams with an A and didn't have to take the final. He makes class interesting with his stories and he's a very funny and nice guy.
Very nice funny teacher. But does not care about attendance, gives no homework or any extra credit , making grade depend only on 3 best scores out of 4 tests, so making it hard to have an A at times when you get a C on a test. Overall nice teacher, just wish he actually cared about attendance and gave points to those who went to class.
The tests aren't hard if you study. If you attend every class and have atleast a B+ in the class you do not have to take the final and you receive an A in the course. Professor Newmann is an awesome teacher provided you actually come to class and listen.
He's really great and informative. He's a retired Podiatrist and he really knows his stuff. He's funny and makes the class enjoyable. There's 4 exams (including the final), if you get an A on the first 3, you don't have to take the final. You don't have to go to class but it's probably best you do because he may take points off your final grade.
Dr. Newmann is the man! He's hysterical and has a story to relate to basically everything covered. His tests are easy as he gives you reviews that basically tell you what to look for. 3 tests and a cum. Final.. If you even have to take it, 93 or better on each exam gets you exempt from the final. Love this guy! Take this class for an elective!
Dr. Newmann is an amazing professor. Although he basically reads the book in his lectures, he makes it interesting. To pass the exams (and course), you have to have the book. Study, study, study!
He was ok. His class was more of teaching yourself. He would read from the textbook and it got pretty boring. He cracks jokes (which aren't funny but usually harmless LOL). Just rent the textbook and study on your own. This class is easy as long as you make flashcards on the root words he "teaches". However, he gets mad when people don't show up.
I like how Professor Newmann was a very nice and chill Professor and understood that each student has their own stuff going on. He's easy to talk too and very helpful when it comes to the exams. Gives you exactly what you need to know to pass the exams and the class and come out knowing more than you thought you knew.
Dr. Newmann was the most hilarious and sarcastic teacher I've ever had. I love his lectures. His exams are super easy because his reviews are exactly like the exams you take. Great professor!
This professor actually makes this class fun and engaging. His grades are just tests but if you pass the first 3 tests then you don't need to take the final. I would totally take him again for this class.
Dr. Newmann was a wonderful professor. He cares about the students understanding the material and makes it interesting and exciting. This class has helped me succeed in other classes and will definitely help me as I enter into my career. His exams are very fair especially if you read the textbook which is an easy read. Highly recommend this class.
There is only 4 tests if you get an average of an A on the first three you don't have to take the fourth. He is very funny and make the class enjoyable. You don't need the textbook Because everything is in the power point but it good to have. If people do not show up to class he will start taking attendance and it will count against your grade.
such a great professor. He gets through the material needed and has so much knowledge and experience from the things he teaches. His exam reviews are extremely thorough and if you study those things you are destined to get an A. The only grades in the class are the exams and you can be exempt from the final.
Dr. Newmann is hilarious once you get to know him. He has a story for almost EVERY term used in the course. Although attendance isn't mandatory, it's a good idea to go because he will always tell you exactly what the exams are going to be like. There are 4 exams and they're not easy if you don't study. Flash cards are the best way to study.
Hilarious, easy A. Very nice guy and you'd have to try hard to fail his class. Give reviews on what the exams are about. TAKE HIM!
Just read the textbook and youll be fine. The questios on the exams are straight from the book. It should be an easy A.
Newmann is a great Professor with great stories. He makes learn medical terms a breeze. If you listen to his tips for remembering terms youll do well. There are 4 tests total and theyre straight forward. If you get an A on the 1st 3, you dont have to take the final! TAKE HIM
Love him!! Easy elective class to take that comes in handy in the medical field!
He gives really good reviews that are exactly what is on the exams!! Take Him! I loved attending his lectures because he would share his stories of when he was a physician. Dr. Newmann also explained the need to stop smoking. One of the best professors at FAU!!! TAKE HIM!
Awww I love him. Would take again 10/10. Only 4 grades, all 4 exams. If you learn the suffixes and combining terms; you are GOLDEN. I didn't study these and got an 82 and then I learned all the terms which helped me figure out what a word meant and I got 100%. His reviews are him telling you all the questions and sending you off lol.
Funny professor. He make class enjoyable and is very fair and clear about the material that needs to be studied. Would definitely take again!
Simple class. Just memorize the powerpoints and you should be good. Tests arent difficult if you have taken AP prior or if you just break down the words. Tells a lot of interesting stories, and will sometimes just tell stories instead of covering the material. Usually does a comprehensive review prior to exams. He didn't do one for one of my tests
There are only 4 tests. But he gives a review the class before with all the information you need to know for the test. You can exempt the final if you have over a 90 in the class. Super easy, google the classes and you can find study guides to pass. Loved him would definitely take another class with him teaching.
he is the BEST! Very understanding and cares about his students! Get a 93 or higher on first three exams and you don't have to take the final. He has amazing stories, take him you won't regret it. Super easy A
Great professor. Need to read and understand information. Study.
You have three exams and a final exam. The exams are straight from his power points and the textbook, plus, you can find a lot of the material on Quizlet. Dr. Newmann is funny and certainly knows what he's talking about. Attendance is not mandatory , however, if a lot of people don't show up, he'll begin to take attendance. Overall, easy class.
TAKE HIM. Hes a podiatrist and an absolute gem of a person. Doesnt take attendance at first, unless he notices people missing alot. Tests are easy, he tells you exactly whats on them. Its basically a refresher of A&P. Super intelligent man. Respect him, listen to him, and you'll learn more than just for grades. Hes awesome
He is a very funny professor. He is a retired doctor so he is very good at what he teaches. Sometimes goes off topic but it always stays medical related. He gives real life stories. Highly recommend him.
Dr. Newmann is upbeat and just overall great! I don't know what to mention, because everything I would say about him would be of his great qualities! I am just not sure why he has a 4.7 rating on here and not a 5.0 . I took him Spring 19' and I recalled that I never completed my ratings for him on here! one of the BEST PROFESSORS I have taken!
Very informative class. The professor is super funny . He says attendance is mandatory but I went once a week . Lecture is heavy only because he goes over a huge amount of slides per class. Read over the slides/Quizlet flashcards a couple times and you'll be good. The book is good for practice. The exams are super basic and simple. He's helpful
Professor Newmann is amazing! Loved all of his lectures and he is really funny. He is genuinely a very nice guy. Reviews the exam a lecture before the actual exam. Highly recommend him as a professor! He cares about his students and wants you to succeed. He has 4 exams, if you get an A on the first 3 exams, you dont have to take the final!
Dr. Newman is the best professor! his lectures are very interesting and he makes sure that his students understand the material. The class requires a lot of studying, but what college course doesn't. This guy is super hilarious! You won't regret his class.
truly amazing! he wants his students to succeed. pay attention in class and find some quizlets and you are golden. There are 4 exams, but if u got an A on the first three, don't have to take the fourth exam. I got 100's on all 3 exams and studied mainly the night before. Have to come to class or he will start taking attendance.
One of the best professor and I took this class as an elective. Really funny guy and he cares about his students. There's 4 test which are really easy if you pay attention in class. LISTEN TO THE REVIEW HE GIVES OR RECORD IT. The tests are the same as the review and even on the same order.
This professor was the best I have ever taken in a while. Definitely recommend, he has hilarious stories.
Only exams, no homework, and he drops lowest exam. He's a cool professor.
No homework, just exams and lowest gets dropped. If you do well on first 3 exams (more than 93) you dont have to take the final. Funny guy
Great professor. He really cares about his students and wants everyone to get an A. Provides powerpoints so no need for the book. Attend class and study the powerpoints and you'll get an A. Only 4 exams; will drop the lowest grade. Material is very interesting, and you'll learn a lot.
AMAZING professor. This course was like a walk in the park. If you score a 93% or above on the first three exams you are exempt from the final. He is extremely caring and very easy to approach when you have to ask any questions. A true gem
You don't need the textbook or to attend the lectures. However, I do recommend attending his exam reviews because they are word for word what will be on the exams. If you get above a 93% on the first three exams you can skip the final. He is an active, engaging and caring professor. This class should not stress you out if you study for the exams.
I'm reiterating what the other good comments were about Dr. Newmann - a gem indeed. The review is your ticket to your A. You're not allowed to fail this class - you have to be super lazy to fail. TAKE HIM!! I REPEAT - TAKE HIM!!
i absolutely loved Dr. Newmann. your grade is based on 4 exams in which one gets dropped. an easy elective. just pay attention in class, make flash cards and study his reviews, its an easy A
Very straightforward class and Dr. Newman makes lectures very interesting. He drops 1 of 4 exams so you technically don't need the final if you are doing well. You don't really need to go to lecture but he makes it interesting so why not.
The class was four exams, and if you get a 93% or above then you don't have to take the last exam. Exams are straight from his lectures. His lectures are very inspiring, and I loved to hear all of his stories as he was a doctor for many years.
Professor Newmann is an awesome professor! He provides so many good stories and you learn so much! Although, grades is based upon 4 exams ( 1 dropped), the exams are not difficult. Do your best and go to class and you will pass! Textbook is not required, as powerpoints are provided.
Dr. Newmann is truly great and very knowledgeable. Each chapter, there's at least one story that goes along with what's being covered (very interesting and sometimes, funny). Grades are based on 4 exam (1 dropped), but not difficult. Know your prefixes/suffixes!! Textbook is not needed because PowerPoints provide the same information.
This man is god sent. He genuinely enjoys teaching and does an awesome job. Not a difficult class at all, love him.
Dr. Newmann is an amazing professor! There's 4 tests (don't have to take the fourth one if you get an A on first 3) and they come from the ppts. Study the ppts and his test reviews and you'll be good. Tests require webcam and lockdown browser. Lectures are long but he makes them interesting. Definitely recommend!
PLEASE TAKE DR NEWMANN!! I have never written one of these but I had to for this class. I have taken Dr Newmann in the past and was NEVER disappointed. He is by far the best professor at FAU for HSA. He makes sure his classes aren't difficult if you pay attention and listen to what he says. Im taking another course of his next sem and I'm excited.
This class is useful if you have no idea what would you like to do with your life. Very easy, 4 assignments, and 2 open book exams. This class is interesting if you would like to hear an old man ranting about healthcare. Attendance is mandatory and counts for 10% of total grade.
ONE OF THE BEST PROFESSORS OUT THERE!!!!!!!! guaranteed A in the class!! he makes his lectures so entertaining & easy to understand with his interesting stories. Amazing, inspirational, funny, & caring guy. U dont need the textbook & he lets us skip last exam if u receive an A on the others. He wants to get to know his students & is very sweet.
Great professor, he really breaks down information for you to understand the material. The online textbook was not required but it does help. Grades are based on tests only, study guides are on quizlet. Easy class.
He will trail off telling personal stories for the majority of the class time, doesnt really cover the material you need to know so just teach yourself from his power points basically. Easy A as long as you teach yourself the material and you have taken anatomy 1 and 2 before taking this class, otherwise it will feel like a lot.
If you're looking for an easy A, take this class. This class is just on memorization and can benefit pre-med students. There's only 4 grades in this class which are the exams, and he drops the final exam if you scored an A on the first 3 exams.
Class was simple memorization and only 4 tests in total to make up the whole grade. He provided the powerpoint with all the information needed for tests and discussed during class, so you could basically just look at the powerpoint if you wanted. Went over test questions before tests.
Only 5 easy assignments and 1 non-proctored exam. The bulk of the grade comes from attendance, so make sure you show up. It's an easy professor, perfect if you want to squeeze in an extra class but worried about the work load.
BEST PROFESSOR EVER! SO FUNNY, HAS THE BEST STORIES, & LECTURES SO WELL U WONT GET BORED! LOVED THIS CLASS IT WAS A BREEZE SO EASY! AMAZING PROFESSOR CANT SAY THAT ENOUGH. HIGHLY RECOMMEND EVERYONE TO TAKE THIS CLASS. PROF IS SO SWEET & HELPFUL & RLY INSPIRATION. LOVED THIS CLASS
Great professor! Super easy course to do well in, you really just need to memorize the terms. His lectures are funny and he tells stories that make it easy to remember material. Passing the first three exams meant you didn't have to take the final! No reason to fail this course honestly. Don't buy the textbook, the lectures are enough.
The class is pretty easy study the vocab and you should pass
ONLY four tests; he uploads his lectures, and he covers everything in the lecture. The tests are on Lockdown, but they are super easy if you study. The easiest way to study is definitely through Quizlet. There are some Quizlets that are exactly like the test. If you pass (with an A) the first three tests, you don't have to take the last one.
The prof is funny and entertaining. Online lectures are recorded and watch whenever. Tests were lockdown browser but honestly easy if you understand basic terms/watched lecture. Mainly tests/quizzes but honestly easy. 100% recommend him for this class!
Amazing professor! I took this class online and it was a breeze. You learn so much and the exams are very fair and to the point. He is a funny guy with some great stories, not a difficult class at all.
Super funny if you actually watch his lectures. No homework, 4 closed book exams, you only have to take exam four if you have 92% or less in the course.
Good professor/Easy A. Graded based on 4 tests, the entire semester, with around 40-50 questions per test. Lockdown Browser on each test. His lectures were very interesting, and he made learning terms memorable. Can find the exams on Quizlet. No extra credit.
Extremely easy class. Only graded on 4 exams (3 if u have an A). The exams were 50 questions each and were so simple. Lots of vocab on PowerPoints but it's all memorization, just make a quizlet. He gives you extra credit at the end of semester.
