Stuttering is definately distracting, accompanied by incorrect terms, prompting students to interject the proper word to avoid confusion. Cocky attitude accompanied by narcisistic, very opinionated stories and personal commentaries veiled as a "wholistic view" of teaching.

HIV does not exsist. AIDS is not a permanent disease that will kill you-it's caused by drug use and poor nutrition. Give your anatomy book to your biblically inclined pastor. Rabbits and Cats are distant cousins and can be bred to create Cabbits. All disease is caused by drinking insufficient amounts of water. ------Important lessons from Anatomy 1

He's very nice, and willing to help. But the only thing is when it comes to teaching, sometimes it's very confusing, you need to write down everything he says, and study ALOT!!. He doesn't tell you wants going to be on the test, so that makes it extremly difficult. No study guides either!!no extra credit- nothing! Good Luck!

Dr. Cenquizca is a great professor who is excellent in breaking down the material. He is always willing to help his students and is very approachable. His grading curve is great. Those students who rated him poorly were probably those didn't do as well in the class because of their own lack of skill or knowledge in class.

Dr. Cenquizca is a great professor, even though he says "umm" a lot he is gives his lectures clearly and answers as many questions that you might have and he is always available during his office hours.

Go by the lectures. He tests you on functions structures, etc, & he provides the steps. Read the book only as guide to lectures. He summarizes, book over explains. He pretends he's tough, but he's not, he's very helpful, just ask him for it. He seems ****y, but only because he's confident, if I looked that great, I would be too :) I recommend him.

His teaching structure is very commendable.Because I believe that the only way that a student will learn the course is for them to be able to explain it using their own words.

This Professor refused to let me ADD to his class not because it was full but because "Biology is required" I've taken college bio and he asked me to go take it again when i had no problem understanding his lecture.

Pro: He covers the topic pretty thoroughly and his tests are super easy if you can memorize lists of things directly from the notes. Con: He spends alot of time pushing his alternative living agenda, which can cut into class time causing him to rush at the end of the class or go over. Slow test turnaround and his film essays are unrelated to anat.

Assigns 1pg essay assignments and a 2-3pg term paper. Tests are ALL fill in the blank. He lectures through speaking, barely uses slides. So write fast. Anatomy is never easy..

To pass you have to make your own notes read understand and filling gaps for your own good. He is a good person, caring, different (good different). I realized this after the semester ended. Hes fair in so many levels

Anti-Vaxer, HIV is a myth, and chemotherapy only kills you. These are some of the things you can expect to hear from this professor of anatomy. Let that sink in. Tests are all open ended with no consistent grading rubric. Lots of extra credit, the class would be impossible without it. Avoid this professor unless you absolutely need this class.

Professor Cenquizca is a good teacher who knows what he is talking about. However, he is extremely unprofessional. Comes to class 20mins late leaving students to sit outside in the hallway, doesnt use his own power point slides and goes off on a tangent for 45mins each lecture. Wastes a lot of time during class

This guy is so funny, upbeat, and very unconventional. He's into natural medicine stuff, which I think is interesting. He knows his stuff well, but his lectures are heavy with material and have no slides. Get ready to take notes and record audio. Tests are short answer, not multiple choice, and test your knowledge on every detail of the lectures.

Dr. Cenquila is professional, friendly, accessible for any question. anyway, you have one week if you don't like his class you change it but I really recommend to take his class.

His practicums are easy its just memorization. Ask him after class to review them for you, record and literally just rewatch the video over and over. Didnt do good in lecture but passed every practical with an A. I would take his class again cause I think hes too lazy to change exams and I know who what to expect. Hes very funny & down to earth.

Dr. Lee's class is not an easy class, but if you come to class each time and take notes on what he lectures on, you can do well on his exams. He only tests on what he goes over in class. Lab practicums are just memorizing what the professor goes over in lab. It helps to take a video when he is going over all the structures at the end of class.

Dr. Cenquizca is a great teacher! You have to work hard and itll pay off. Just show him that you are doing your best to pass his class. Lab exams are easy As, he will let you sit into his other lab classes if you want. Lecture exams, you have to listen to his lectures and ask him a summary of what will be in the exams after class.

Dr. Cenquizca is an extreme naturalist. To me, it made sense that an anat prof would find all foreign & unnatural influences to the body as a neg thing. RECORD HIS LECTURES. Memorize them and you'll ace his exams. He goes off on a lot of naturalist tangents. Humor him and pay attention. He means well. The last few weeks will be rushed.

Dear Professor Lee Cenquizca, Please prepare powerpoint slides for your class. I cannot believe you are teaching something that requires so much memorization skill of unfamiliar terms without displaying some kind of slides. It would mean the world to students if you make your lectures feel more organized by using presentation slides with some pics.

Lectures are interesting and enjoyable. He's willing to stay extra after class if you have questions but other than that he's not really reachable by email. He'll help you pass the class by giving you opportunities to study the models and clear up any questions you have. But you have to study, go to lecture, understand the diagrams from the book.

No syllabus until the third week. He does not send out emails notifying students when he will be late so expect to wait outside the classroom most of the semester. Doesn't use canvas or power points. Lectures mostly on how fast food, the air quality, and flu shots will kill us. Written exams only, memorize every term misspell them fail.

This guy is by far one of the worst professors I have had. He will ALWAYS be late 20-30 mins is normal for him. He goes of on random tangents about political or unrelated topics. If you ask him questions he will just tell you to read, or straight up ignores it. Stay away from this class. Don't know why he's still allowed to teach at LACC.

This professor is TERRIBLE. He is late to zoom meetings, and doesnt have any lecture slides; he just puts modules up on canvas and reads off of them. Lecture lasts for 2 hours and because of his rants and the fact that he goes off topic every 20 minutes, I end up teaching myself everything. Tests are also very difficult. STAY AWAY

Every negative thing said about him is true. Run. Since all the bad stuff has been said I'll add what hasn't. He says he will offer "different perspectives" on medicine. Cool. However it is just an excuse for him to say ableist comments. He thinks Covid is no big deal. He waited until the test had started to tell us what operating system we needed.

All what has been said is true about this professor. It takes him a long time to grade your exams. Wasn't able to see what you got wrong on the exam. Therefore you weren't able to basically dispute if you got something wrong. He did get off topic as he is a naturalist. I didn't like how he down played covid. I just hope I passed the class.

Worst choice for my anatomy class in spring semester 2019. Wasted my time and money on books. Always show up late to class. However, he did give me a few good pieces of information on eating healthy and improve lifestyle. But, the lecture is boring and not related to the class. Ask me a question or anything else. He becomes a two-faced person.

Transition from in-person to online for pandemic was non-existent. No lectures, no Zoom, just outlines of notes sent a week (or less) before each exam= multiple choice, but mainly "short" answers. I resorted to taking an online anatomy course in order to learn and pass this class. Sadly, everything negative said in other reviews is true.

Honestly, the most difficult class I have ever taken in my life. So many terms and so much info! He's a cool professor, likeable but does tend to go off topic frequently. But I found what he talked about to be interesting and insightful, in general. He's tough teacher but he does care for his students. 100% of grade based on midterms/finals.
