He is a perfect online professor ever. He is always answer questions fast. His lesson plans are clearly and ez to understand as long as you read. If you do all the assignments , you will pass the quizzes and exams. Would recommend him. E is my 2nd language, so I thought this class gonna be hard for me, but with his lesson I feel ez to study. Thanks
Professor Zaragoza is amazing. Always answering emails really fast, at first i was so scared that the class will be hard and not pass but him being my professor it was so easy for me because he explains everything clearly and always giving us instructions.( I TOOK MDCA 1409 WITH HIM NOT MDCA 1313 )
Professor Zaragoza was very professional, but yet very down to earth and easy to communicate with. He was very good at having open communication. I will be taking Medical Terminology with him next semester and I am really looking forward to it.
Online course is very straightforward. Do the assignments on time and you will succeed. Professor Zaragoza responds to emails quickly. All in all, great professor and great class.
The class is really easy, he posts a weekly discussion post and about 10-15 pages of reading pages. As long as you read do the homework and quizzes you will be fine.
Professor Zaragoza is very understanding and allows me to do all my work even when i couldn't get it in on time. He is a very good professor.
Super lenient and kind! Not a hard grader at all.
He is a good professor
This Professor made everything so easy, he is easy to contact and the assignments are interesting and not too difficult. I took two courses with him and he is great!! As long as you do all your work on time you should end with an A. Make it easy on yourself and take him!!
Professor Zaragoza made the course easy to follow via canvas and connect. I love his weekly check in emails and that he's quick to answer emails. I missed the first exam due to being unaware of dates, however I was able to raise my grade by completing everything else fully. Become aware of due dates, and you will succeed in this course, simple.
I took this class as an 8-week summer course. Professor Z was always accessible and understanding, and you can definitely see that he cares for his students. Homework is easy if you are present and learning from mistakes, and exams are basically whatever is on the homework. Any question I had was answered promptly via email. Take his class!

Great professor, responds fast, and will go out of his way to help you if he can.
If you see this professor in your schedule, just know you're in good hands. :) He always makes sure to crack a joke or two, so watch out for those, haha. He is always there for his students and is incredibly understanding. A very kind soul. Assignments that will teach you but don't overload you. I wish this professor could teach every class!
This professor is absolutely amazing. He is an absolute saint. He is understanding and caring. His assignments aren't too stressful. He'll make sure you actually learn while not pouring assignment over assignment on you. In his discussion posts, you must be descriptive. Other than that, his class is good!
This is they type of profesor that is a joy to have. Very caring in and out of the classroom. Always has jokes as well!
This professor has a very clear class layout and grading criteria. As long as you don't let the work pile up and take some notes you have a guaranteed "A".
Very nice, he will respond fast and will give you extended time if you really needed.
Great professor, understanding when it comes to extensions.
If you do not procrastinate and properly do homework, discussion posts and quizzes, you will be fine. Gives extensions if necessary, e-mails back quick, work is straightforward and he is friendly. There is also plenty of extra credit opportunities!
If you are able to take med term with Professor Zaragoza take it! He actually cares for his students and is very understanding when it comes to grades and due dates. Although this is an online class, he always takes time to check in with the students and gives feedback for the work you are doing. As long as you do your work you'll pass this class.
A great professor. I recommend taking his courses. His support was helpful. He means it when he says he will do what he can to get you moving forward. - Ashly Garcia (one of his students)
Amazing Professor ! He actually cares about his students and is very nice and friendly! Make sure to do your work on time ! He does give extensions if necessary . There is just one mandatory meeting at the very beginning of the semester. He answers emails VERY FAST & he is always there for his students.
Best Professor in the entire world!! So kind, sweet, and funny. His class was very simple. A lot of work though but not too much if you pace yourself. Don't wait til the last minute!
Hes a good professor, very open, caring, and kind. Zaragosa cares about his students dearly, so it will be nice if one takes his class to understand it too. His lectures and easy, not projects, just a chill online lecture you can finish within 3 days of the week. No workload, you can boost up your grades easily and theres extra credit . :p
If you take this course the book for the course is already included in the class. They are 13 chapters in the 8 week course and consists audio recordings, homework and quizzes. Only three exams and the final exams each consists of 100 questions. It is bearable as long as you complete the assignments before the deadlines.
He is simple and a listener. He responds to mails and explains very well.
An absolute gem of a professor. I have a lot of respect for Mr. Zaragoza as he is one of the most caring professors I have ever met! The work given was not difficult at all, very easy to learn and complete as long as you try. The amount of guidance he offers and generous extra credit is incredible. We need more professors like him in this world.
One of the easiest classes I've taken.
Best profesor ever! He is very caring and he is easy to communicate outside of class. Responds to emails quick. I highly recommend him!
He is one of the best professors I have ever met
Great communication outside throughout duration of course. Encouraged students to reach out if they have any questions or concerns regarding assignments or homework to ensure everything is submitted on time.
My experience with this class and Mr.Zaragoza has been a delight. I took it in the spring and it was a online 8 week course. It is a little coursework heavy so I suggest not to wait till the due date to do the work. Other than that the class is fairly easy and the professor is great, super responsive in emails, and caring about his students!
Great Professor that uplifts you and is very funny. Always there when you need it and responds quick to any concerns
This teacher is beyond amazing! He is very thorough and caring! He respects and motivates his students. His class is very informative and own paced. If you ever think about taking him do it!
He likes to go on vacations.
Great teacher I was new to HCC courses, and to have him as one of my first professors is truly an honor.
By far the BEST professor I have EVER had. He truly cares about your journey in receiving the education you desire, and as long as the communication and respect is there, he will do all he can to ensure of your success!
he was very communicative and was lenient with work!
That Professor Zaragoza does not play about grading he is a really nice professor that he loves to make sure his student are good and understand his work. He loves to make sure that if you have any questions you can always email him or text he gives a good amount of work he always gives you a lot of time to finish test if you received a bad grade.
Very nice dude its a shame we only had an online class with him
The professor is very intelligent and Caring.
really easy.
Professor Z is so cool and nice. I like how he is very understanding toward his students and cares about our well-being and success. The work he assigns is not hard at all it's just very time-consuming and requires a lot of concentration. Overall, the class is s easy and I have learned so much!
I promise you that you would never find a Professor like him. He's a gem, nice, respectful, caring, & funny. He understand the needs for his students, & will be more than happy to help you to succeed & learn in this course. the course wasn't bad just make & set time to complete assignments. The whole class is worth it. I highly recommend him!!!.
He is extremely involved, and is easy to speak to. He grades quickly, and it very lenient with assignments. He is very big on communication, so if anything does come up, you can always speak to him.
He is very awesome super chill too and responds to email quickly just VERY AWESOME!!!
Professor Zaragoza is super understanding and is always available, he's super funny and does weekly check ins to see how we are doing in class it is a lot of homework but if you don't fall behind you should do fine overall an outstanding professor :).
Professor Zaragoza is very respectful, and will automatically understand if someone has an issue and will make sure to get it fixed. He provided us with a slideshows and a textbook both physical, online and audio. This helped me greatly to convey the material earning the good grade I got. Thank you!
His class was pretty easy so I never really had to ask any questions, but he appears to be enthusiastic and would help if you reached out. The course is online, so Professor Zaragoza doesn't actually have any lectures though.
The class was fairly easy you just have to stay on top of assignments and studying, the professor was really good at communication and working with you.
This was a well structured class. Professor Z is a great person and also very funny. He made the course easy enough to grasp the material.
in all this class was stress free. you just have to buckle up cause there are lots of homework and quizzes
I recommend this Professor! The work was very well organized, the few times I did message the professor he responded back quickly and was helpful, he messaged weekly updates enthusiastically, great professor.
great class
Professor Z, was by far one of the best instructors in have had in awhile. Be prepared for lots of homework and quizzes every week. Other than that, all instructions are clear in the syllabus. He also response back to messages same day.
Swamped with work all in one day. Opening exams and homework for a day, when you are a full time employee and full time parent and volunteer for the community .
He does get back to you at decent time
This rofessor was very kind, respectful, and reaches out to all his students. Thank You.
He is a great person
He wasn't really involved with teaching online, but instead provided the information on our Canvas Page. He gave out constant reminders for assignments that were due.
Informational class with great resources. Very thorough on instructions and schedule. If you are looking for flexibility of a online course this course is not for you. All assignments are due by Saturday at midnight, quizzes and exams only open up for 24 hours on Saturdays.
I am not a fan of online classes, but I did learn. I do feel like there is a lot of homework which can be overwhelming as well as the test and quiz are long to the point where you are there the whole day. The only reason I wouldn't do this class again is because his assignments can be too much for people who work and has multiple classes.
He is very nice and responded to emails fast! Have fun in this course.
Take his class he is a great professor The class does have heavy work load but he gives you a things to help you.
He's an excellent professor who responds promptly. Although this class has a heavy workload, it's quite manageable to pass. All you need to do is complete all assignments, and the tests are easy to pass as long as you stay on top of your work. I highly recommend this class, especially if you're pursuing a degree in nursing or a related field.
Highly recommend you take this professor if you want to take the initiative to learn more for a Health Science career. To me this class is essential to take in order to flourish in any medical related field. Your truly learning a new language and this professor has such an amazing organized modules. The assignments and HW all really help.
Literally the best professor i've ever had !!!!
This Professor is awesome! This course is more self-learning, so just do the homework, read the chapters, and complete the tests. There's no lectures you have to attend which is always amazing. Throughout the semester the professor will send very nice emails, which was appreciated. Overall great but hard course (Very study intensive).
Necessary course for medical students helpful professor would definitely take his class again
A word that would best describe this professor would be caring. This professor really cares about his students' success in this class and passing. I didn't get the chance to meet him in person since this class was all online. This class was mostly self-taught but was easy to get through. Just read the book and do the homework. It will really help.
Great class! The professor was clear with instructions and expectations, and the course was well-structured. It's fast-paced with a lot of work due to the 8-week format, but it really helped expand my knowledge in medical terminology. Overall, a great experience, and I'd definitely take his class again.
He's good teacher
Great professor he's very understanding
If you set a s
This professor is a very good teacher and very caring of his students. The class is very balanced, the good thing is that you have plenty of time to finish your assignments which is good The course is very flexible; it gives you all the readings and also helps to understand medical meanings. Overall, the professor and the course are great.
Professor Zaragoza is great. Course was laid out in entirety upfront with clear deadlines. There is a fair amount of reading but once you understand medical language, it becomes very easy to move through the material. Given an opportunity I would absolutely take another class with him. Have a solid A+ going into the final.
This professor is the best professor anyone could ask for. He was very understanding and always made you feel welcomed and not embarrassed to ask any questions. The structure of the course was simple and gave flexibility as we had a week to complete the assignments each week. Overall, I would recommend taking this class!!!!
I wish Professor Zaragoza teach other MA classes because his online class was amazing he makes it fun even though it can be a lot I don't feel overwhelmed. 1000/10 I recommend
he was very understanding and was very quick with replies! The work also isn't too bad, especially once you start to understand it! For our class, we had to turn it in every Saturday so it wasn't confusing with different due dates. I took online anytime but he was always very interactive. Overall a great professor!!
Just go add the class cart and enroll. He's a great teacher clear communication response quickly. Also make sure you make time for this class. I rec homework during the week so you only have to focus on quiz/exam Saturday. Class isn't hard just time consuming so make time!
This is the best professor ever!! He responds to emails and provide easy study materials I would take his class a million times if I could!!!
i took his online class and it was pretty simple. he gives like a homework, reading assignment, and quiz a week but once you get the flow of it, it gets pretty easy. He's a really understanding guy and pretty good at replying to messages/emails.
