really great class! prof frianeza was extremely helpful and also super clear about what you were going to be tested on. Everything you are quized and tested on is in your notes! One of the harder classes ive had and studying is a MUST but an A is definitely achievable! really enjoyed this class and would definitley recommend this teacher!
He is a really great professor. Crystal clear on the subject itself. This class was a tough classes due to his tests, it seriously is no joke. But he is willing to go above and beyond for you to understand the concepts. Take really good notes and write down any questions he throws at you; because it has a chance of appearing on his quizzes/test!
Great teacher. Knows the subject matter and keeps it interesting. Has an interest in student's progress. Uses his professional experience as examples while teaching certain techniques making lessons more relevant. If you do the work, you'll do fine in his classes.
By far one of the best teachers I had at Cypress college. Always compassionate towards the students and is always willing to work with you outside of class. If you're interested on expanding your career beyond x-rays, this is the guy to come to with any question you might have. Make sure you don't stand behind him during class. He freaks out. LOL
I am currently taking rad 153, and he is a great teacher and excellent person. I recommend to take him. He knows a lot and is always willing to help. Take him!
great teacher. will explain until you understand. quizzes & tests are straight from his powerpoints which he emails u ahead of time. if a question is unclear on an exam & you can argue why you chose a different question, he will give it to you. book not required!!! definitely a hard class but he gives e.c. & hes timely with handing back assignments
easiest class in the radt program. as long as you study, read the chapters, and come to class, you can get an A. 5 exams and a paper.very helpful. you also have to complete CPR but he will bring in a guy to help you out.
Professor Frianeza is a wonderful teacher, he is kind, nice, friendly and he knows everything about radiology. Test are kind of tricky, but it is good because he make us to think. I wish more teachers were as compassionate as he is.
Professor Frianeza is a totally different breed of instructor. He is the new definition of excellence in his profession an beyond. Instructions were straight to the point. His power points are the easiest possible to understand. Have not even opened my textbook so don't bother buying it. He is awesome! He is great! He's fantabulous!
This class was probably one of my favorite classes I've ever taken in college. Mr F was very nice and always explained everything clearly. He emails you the power points before class so you can review them. Tests are straight from the power points and he reviews the day before the test. The tests were multiple choice/ true and false. Great Teacher!
Professor Frianeza is the best! He emails you power points on the lecture, and as long as you study the handouts, you definey lay should have no problem passing. He cares about his students success and gives you all the tools for success. Cypress college made the right choice on this professor.
He was very helpful and encouraged us to continue with the class no matter what our test scores were. He did everything possible for us to understand the material and to do good in exams
lectures were clearly heard. examples were excellent pertaining to the course subject. The best professor I have taken. His way of teaching is great. The exams are difficult but if you study and read your textbook you should be fine.
He is a good teacher, always want to make sure you understand the subject. His lecture is very clear,
Inspirational, funny, and really loves his job! Dedicated!
This was a challenging and very rewarding class, you must earn your grade, but with some serious studying, you can achieve a good grade in the class. Go to lectures, the majority of the exam questions come from his lecture-powerpoints, which he e-mails you the day prior to class. As an instructor, he is clear, entertaining, and approachable.
Mr. Frianeza is a great! He is very knowledgeable about the material and Rad tech profesion. His class is upbeat and fun. He makes himself available for help after class. Hes clear about what will be on the exams. Uses power point where his test questions come from. you MUST study, but hes not hard at all. Highly recommended :)
I enjoyed this class so much! Mike's a very insightful and caring professor! He really simplifies the concepts so that everyone understands them. Every now and then he'll even share some interesting stories from his job with you. the material is pretty loaded, but if you can just review/memorize his powerpoints at home, you'll get an A! Loved him:)
Mr. Michael Frieneza (soon to be Dr. Frieneza!) is an expert instructor! He teaches with passion, clarity, and precision and when you take his classes you have a bedrock foundation in the subject matter. Professor Frieneza cares deeply about the success of each student and you will be hard pressed to find a more amazing teacher than him! THE BEST!
Prof. Frianeza is a great instructor. He is very knowledgeable and teaches from real world experiences, not just a textbook. He is approachable and very helpful. If you are having a hard time, he will go out of his way to help you understand the material. He is honestly one of the most patient instructors I have come across.
Mr. Frianeza really knows his stuff. He's very helpful and is approachable if you have any issues understanding something. Tests are pretty straight forward but he has quizzes from HELL! Make sure you study and you will succeed :)
Frianeza really knows his stuff. If you're willing to put in the work to pass, he will help you. He's very approachable and helps make sure you understand the material.
Professor F is very knowledgeable and a really great instructor. His lectures are to the point and he doesn't give you any information you don't need. His experience in the field has helped us, students, immensely. He's always willing to help you out and is pretty laid back. Study hard and you'll have no problem.
Great professor, really funny and knows tons of stuff. He was always willing to help and provided easy ways to remember the positions for his exams. Downside: his class was way too early but he sure is a sight for sore eyes, certainly kept my attention during lecture (this is anonymous right) Study for the quizzes and tests and you should be fine
Great professor. Present the material and made it easy to understand.
The nicest teacher ever!!! He's so helpful and presents all the info u need to know on PowerPoint.
Prof. Frianeza is a very good professor, very involved in every subject and student. I highly recommend taking any of his classes.
Prof. F is honestly a great instructor! He actually cares about making sure his students have a good understanding of the material and he's involved in his lectures. He doesn't just state the information and move on. He tells stories and helps find ways for you to memorize things. This was my second semester with him, and hopefully not my last!
Mr. Frianeza is great, he is a very sharp speaker; giving the student a very thorough and clear understanding of the subject. By this, his lectures aren't boring and inspire a passion for the field of radiology. As a person, he was a gentleman in every occassion of my interactions with him. I look forward to having him next semester.
I would take every classes of Mr. Frianeza. He is knowledgable, hard-working, and fair. He cares for students. He gives students powerpoints and prepares them for tests. He is one of the best teachers I've ever had.
Professor Frianeza is great. He is helpful and accommodating. You will do very well in his class if you study the power point presentations
Mr. Frianeza was very clear. And if there was something you didn't understand he would clarify it until you did. He also made himself available after class if anybody needed help!
Great professor and very helpful! He cares a lot about his student's success!
Michael takes his career very seriously, definately a leader in the field. I am grateful I got into his class and had an opportunity to learn from a true pro.
Professor Frianeza is great. He is very clear, and makes sure you write down what will be on the exam. I failed my first exam (D, but studied and I ended up with an 'A' in the class. He uses PowerPoints which are extremely helpful. He knows his stuff and you can tell he likes what he does. Very nice professor, I'd his class again in a heart beat.
He created a very strong impression about radiology program on my first day of the class. He is a very helpful instructor and knows well what is important for students.
Professor Frianeza is a very good teacher with an excellent knowledge about subject. I can't wait to have another class with him.
Mr Frianeza intro to radiology class was pretty easy. All you have to do is attend every class, study his notes and you"ll get an A in the class. He's a cool teacher.
Prof Frianeza was obviously very committed to teaching his students. ALL questions were welcome and he was NEVER irritated when asked to re-explain concepts even if it took precious time. He's deeply committed to his craft and an EXCELLENT professor. When I heard he was a primary professor in the RAD TECH program, I was very pleased!
The professor is a nice, fair, knowledgeable, and patient..I have learnt a lot in his class. study the power points and he's going to review before the exam. we had5 exams and one essay. I definitely recommend him. Take this class. He's awesome!!
He is an awesome instructor who not only cares about his students but make sure that they understand what is being taught. Just study his power points and you'll get an A in the class.
Prof. Frianeza cares about you more than you could imagine. The powerpoints are helpful. But the book will help too. The teacher will help you as much as he could, but you have to earn points on your own. Scantron, you know! Don't expect the questions will be easy. Sometimes, the questions are about what you have gained in some previous courses.
amazing teacher! had him multiple times and every time was awesome!! he teaches with interest and is very funny. I never want to fall asleep like I do with other classes and he takes test questions from his lecture. DEFINITELY TAKE HIM!
Mr. Frianeza is an awesome teacher! He's great at explaining the material and he's always there to help if you need it. I've had 3 classes with him and they were all great experiences. If you want to be in the radiologic technology program, be sure to get as many classes with him as you can!
HES AMAZING. all I can say.
Very detail oriented when he discusses topics and makes the class fun to be in His exams are easy but tricky in a good wayThey tend to stretch your understanding of the subject matter and improve your study skills and understanding Best professor I have ever had hands down
I've had Prof. Frianeza for RADT 142, 253, and 252. He is a good professor that knows his topics. He is very responsive to emails and takes the time to make sure we understand the material. As long as you take the time to study, you should be able to get a good grade.
This teacher is great. He cares about his students and their success. Lecture consists of power points and his test are fair. If they aren't he will reason with you if everyone got it wrong. I wish he taught more radiology classes! Great guy!
Amazing teacher!!! Couldn't ask for anything better, very approachable, patient, knows his stuff and has a sense of humor :) Worried about taking this in the summer but after meeting him, looked forward to it. Print out his powerpoints before class, take notes/highlight during lecture, pay attn to detail when taking his tests n you are good to go!
He mixes in his practical experience with the material covered, this is key for me. If he doesn't have a good answer to a question he will tell you he doesn't know, that is incredibly important for an instructor in my book. You get what you put in, but he tries to get you to understand the material.
Great instructor and helpful if you do not understand!
Prof Frianzena was one of the best I've ever had and not to mention he's a sight for sore eyes too. I took the 5 week summer session and received an A. I highly recommend him because of his professionalism, his open door policy, and his motive to help students succeed in the field they desire.
Professor Frianeza is a great instructor. This class was hard! You have to put the work in. He clearly goes over all the material in great detail, but you need to pay attention. I took the 5 week summer class and I wanted to drop it the first week! It's hard. Professor F answers all email questions, even on weekends. He's super approachable.
Very helpful..Great teacher!!
Awesome Professor! I look forward to his other classes in the Radiology program.
This professor is amazing! Very enthusiastic and really loves and knows the subject! This class was fast during the summer and you really needed to study. I highly recommend him for any Radiology class!
Great teacher, very clear, can communicate with him by email if you have any questions and he responds almost instantaneously, which is great. His summer class is Alot of info in a short period of time so be on top of it, this factor is what makes the class challenging/difficult (material is not hard though).
Dr Frianeza is an awesome instructor. He is patient, explains things clearly, answers all questions until you understand, he has a great personality, great attitude, he references experiences and helps you to visualize concepts that may be a bit harder to grasp through text alone and he doesn't take himself too seriously. Awesome guy.
Awesome professor. Knows what he is talking about and is passionate about the subject. Takes time to clearly explain concepts and answer questions. His sense of humor will help you pay attention and stay awake during lecture. Would highly recommend for any future prospective students interested in Radiology.

I took Dr. Frianeza's Intro to Radiology summer course and he is an awesome teacher! His course is challenging, but he provides you with all the information you need to do well on exams and to thoroughly understand the material. He really cares about his students is always willing to help when you do not understand a concept. Definitely recommend!
I took Radt 146 over the summer and I am glad that I was able to have Dr. Frianeza as my professor. He is thorough in going over all the materials and he is patient with the students while having to explain the same things over and over again. Highly recommend him!
Very concise on the material and gives plenty of extra credit. Very passionate about his profession and will help you as much as possible to understand the material!
He is an excellent instructor who wants all of his students to succeed in the class. He is a little fast paced, but always willing to clarify and help if there's any questions. I really like that he gives extra credit and is approachable. Make sure to study and fully understand his powerpoints and review the quizzes!
Very good professor who gets down to business and stays focused on the topic at hand. His tests are fair and he expects you to pay attention and learn the material. Highly recommended and very easy to talk to.
This is my 2nd time to have Professor Frianeza as an instructor, having him also for RADT 146. Just keep on top of the studies and you'll be fine. Don't miss class because majority of the stuff on exams/quizzes are in his lectures.
Great Teacher and mentor!! Dr. F is very passionate about what he does and it shows through his lectures. He's very clear when it comes to the material and is very helpful if you have questions. The material is a little difficult but is repetitive which makes it easier to understand. pay attention to detail on his slides and you'll be fine. Enjoy!
I only had one problem,some of his test questions are ambiguous and needs to be more specific. Professor Frianeza really knows his stuff and is willing to answer questions. He is enthusiastic about teaching which makes his class exciting. Attendance is mandatory since most of the test answers are from lectures. About 5 questions are from the book.
He is an awesome professor who is passionate about the subject. He explains the material very clear and is willing to answer any questions/concerns students have before class, during class and after class. Most if not all the study guide questions are in the exams which is nice. He also has a great sense of humor I would highly recommend him
Dr. F is an amazing professor. He is kind, caring, and easy to approach. He is always willing to answer questions, and explain any concept further. If you work hard and pay attention, you will get an A! Take Dr. F's class, you won't regret it!
Dr. Frianeza is an amazing person. His tests are medial level of hardness. We had quite a few quizzes. This class was hard only for me because it was during the summer session and moved really fast! If it was a regular semester class, I believe that everyone can get an easy A as long as you study. He's hot too!
As long as you don't skip classes, you will pass with a easy B grade with just the lecture alone without having to refer to the textbook. He usually review whats on the exam making it easier for you to pin point where and what to study. If you want an A, then you have to cover more field. He only review enough for you to pass his class.
He understood there was a lot of information and knew what we would want to know for our future careers. He was hard on us but because he cared and wanted to see each and every one of us succeed. He put in not just the hours school made him, but his own personal time too. Great teacher and proud to call him my professor.
Dr.F is an amazing teacher who remembers what it was like to be a student once. He is understanding and if you follow his lecture and read the chapters you will do just fine for the exams. He also goes over what the exam will be about. I wish all professors cared like he does for his students.
Dr. Frianeza is my favorite. He is knowledgeable and helpful. I love his powerpoint version of lecture as well as quiztest reviews. The professor is not easy. Several extra credits are given out throughout the course. Ask questions; refer textbook and workbook; and you'll do great. You will not only get A but also be competent in his class.
Dr. Frianeza is an integral part of the rad tech program at Cypress College. The good news is hes a great teacher, always willing to answer questions and provides review suggestions of what to study for each quiz and test (this is really really important) Frianeza mixes the lecture up with some humor his classes are pretty fun. Thanks Dr. F
He throws in some of his experiences with lecture which makes it interesting. Must listen in lecture, read the book if possible, and study hard. Very easy to approach if you have any questions.
One of the best professors, very clear and great direction!!
Awesome teacher.
Great instructor, gives real world scenario in his lecturing. Fair and straightforward. Enjoys what he does.
Professor Frianeza's lectures are clear and to the point,and it's so helpful for the student to understand the material. He knows not only the content, but also how to teach it. He assesses his teaching throughout the lessons and finds new ways to present material to make sure that every student understands the key concept. He is caring, accessible
Professor Frianeza's lectures are clear and to the point,and it's so helpful for the student to understand the material. If the student has any problem understanding the content they can go to him after class, and he is willing to answer any questions. He is fair in his grading policy. He cares and treats for each student the same way. Accessible.
What a fantastic professor. Very knowledgable and knows his materials. I wish I had all my classes with him :( . He deserves more than 5 stars
I absolutely would recommend Dr. F to anyone. He is the best! He is always willing to help anyone, even if it is not class time he will make time for you. This class was hard but pay attention and you will pass. Be sure to read.
Dr. F is the best! Wish he would teach the entire program. I've taken prereqs with him and look forward to his classes. He genuinely wants to see his students do well. I took this class before getting into the program thanks to Dr. F giving out add codes. Weekly exams and a short essay at the end of the short-term semester. Pretty hard to not pass
Dr. F is awesome! He explains everything really well while throwing in some jokes and personal experiences to keep students interested.
This is the third class I've had with Dr. Frianeza and I've learned a lot from him. Rather than memorizing info, you will actually learn and understand concepts related to Radiology.
Prof. Frianeza is my favorite prof. He cared for students than himself. I love him so much. Not only could you get good grade but also applicable knowledge. I have taken his classes whenever possible. The classes were cheerful and not stressful at all. Of course, you need to work hard. Record the lecture, read the interesting slides, and the book.
Dr. Frianeza is amazing. He gives long lecture but they are crucial to your test if you want to pass the class or get an A.
Dr. F is a great professor! Cares for his students and there to help when needed. The material is difficult but he keeps his lectures interesting by cracking jokes and throwing in his own experiences. Listen during class, take good notes, and study hard!
Dr. Frianeza is my favorite teacher, wish I could take all my classes with him! Funny, keeps lectures interesting. Knows the material well.
This was a very hard class and you need to put a lot of time in. I recorded lecture, wrote notes in class, re read slides and book from time to time. Dr. Frianeza is my favorite teacher, wish I could take all my classes with him! Funny, keeps lectures interesting. Knows the material well.
This class was a bit easier for me compared to his positioning classes. Dr. Frianeza is my favorite teacher, wish I could take all my classes with him! Funny, keeps lectures interesting. Knows the material well.
Awesome professor. Has a ton of experience in the field, and it shows in his lectures that he really knows what he's talking about. He makes the lectures interesting and easy to understand,and throws in humor as well. Highly recommend this professor. Look forward to taking more classes taught by him.
Dr. F is awesome all around. If you have the privilege of taking one of his courses you won't regret it. He definitely cares about his students! He knows his stuff, tells you exactly what he expects , & is extremely reasonable. He makes his lectures funnyinteresting with his stories too. Print his slides, take notes, & use his study guides.
I've taken two of Dr. F's classes so far and he's been amazing and great to work with both times!!
The best professor I've ever had! Class moves at a steady pace, but his lectures are clear and he's willing to slow down and clarify if asked. You'll learn a lot so tests are tough, but he puts the PowerPoints online so use them to your advantage. I recommend recording and relistening to his lectures - it really seemed to help me.
Professor Frianeza has to be one of the best professors in Cypress College. I received an easy A in his RADT 153. As long as you're there everyday, take good notes, and study you will pass. It's a good idea to record every one of his lectures. That helped me a lot in our test. The tests are based on just his class lectures. Take him!
He is an amazing professor and willing to help whenever he can! I recommend anyone to take this class
Dr. Frianeza was honestly one of the best teachers I've ever had! As long as you pay attention in lecture and study, you should pass no problem! He makes lecture interesting and he's pretty funny! I recommend taking him! You'll love his class!
Took this as a 5 week summer course. Quizzes almost everyday. Exams about every week (2 in one week once). Never used the text book. Dr. F is a great teacher. Clear explanations, prompt responses to emails, funny and affable. Offers extra credit. If you attend all the lectures and study the power point slides, you should do well.
I petitioned and got into both his RADT 146 and 153 classes. Awesome professor that genuinely cares for his students' success. He is very patient and will take the time to go over his exams after you take them. Very approachable. Looking forward to taking him again in the near future if I get accepted into the program. No regrets; take him!
I took this professor for the RADT 146 and 153 course. He is absolutely amazing! Very nice and approachable. He allows you to record his lectures (which is a must if you want to pass!) He has no problems re-explaining concepts that are confusing. I hope to get him again once accepted into the program. TAKE THIS PROFESSOR !
Very clear on what he expects from students but makes the expectation very realistic to achieve.
The class was great
He's a really good teacher. Will make sure that you get the material covered. Will make sure that you understand what he is going over even if he needs to stay after class or meet you before class.
Dr. Frianeza is a good teacher, makes lectures fun and cracks little side jokes. I wish he would teach all the classes I need for the program. I would DEF recommend him!!
Dr. F. truly cares about the students learning the material. Stays after class and accessible thru email and text. Knowledgeable and not boring. Summer term FYIs: No need to buy the book. Material all from his slides that he provides thru Gateway to download and tests 100% from that. Can't miss a class. Gives extra credit.
Professor Frianeza was incredible and interesting. His lectures were easy to follow and he made everything simple to understand. He truly cares for all his students. I loved his job-related stories. If you pay close attention to the lectures and slides, you will receive that A. Most importantly, I gained unforgetable knowledge.
Gives many lectures but usually makes all material very clear and always answers any questions quickly. Really makes you work for an A but if you meet with him he will really help you with any questions and help you pass as much as possible.
Passable. If you want an A think verbatim, verbatim, verbatim. Very lively, awesome stories, and gets back to you pretty quick. Very nice and stern at the same time. IDK how he did that.
HE IS AMAZING! Seriously breaks down everything in a unique way. His stories are hilarious! You dont need a text book all of it is in his lectures & his tests are based off of that. You do have a test or a quiz every week, be very specific on fill in quizzes & can have tricky test questions. STUDY his lectures & understand it dont just memorize.
You will learn so much about the radiology field! He has over 20 years experience and he brings his knowledge and stories to help you understand the topic and his lectures. I took his Intro and Patient care class and got A's. Just put in effort to understand the whole concept rather than memorizing his slides.
Dr. Frianeza is one of the best professors I have ever had. Very thorough, very passionate about everything he does, and he truely cares for his students. Study hard, and not just memorize but actually understand because that is what he tests you on. You wont get the trick questions if you don't understand. Thanks for being awesome! :)
By far the best professor I've taken in my college career. He's amazing and makes class fun since its long. I would definitely take him again.
Dr. Frianeza is just awesome. He truly cares about his students and will always make time for any clarification or misunderstanding. Honestly, this is the best class I have ever taken. You must study of course, but he makes learning the material so much easier than perhaps most teachers out there. This class and Frianeza are great motivators !!
Dr. Frianeza is an excellent professor of radiology. He really cares about his students and wants them to succeed in the radtech program. His lectures are very detailed, but he answers any questions from his students. The intro class is not easy, but he is there to help you succeed.
This guy is amazing, he wants you to do well. Will always clear up any questions you have doesnt take crap from students, hes from the streets lol Take this guy, you wont regret it. He is very fair and works to make sure you understand.. KC
i took him for 2 summer classes. Basically 8 hours Monday- Thursday for Rad 153 & 146. It was intense but GO TO CLASS, READ his powerpoints and Record his lectures. summer well spent. Full of good stories, great mentor, keeps you entertained.
great professor, he kept lectures clear and never purposely used up unnecessary time. my advice is record his lectures and have his power points handy. he goes over his what will be on the test so you are not studying blindly. there were 5 test and a paper. class itself won't be boring and his stories will keep you entertained!
He is totally awesome and really wants you to succeed. The material is tough, but he made it easy to understand. He gave out lots of extra credit and even took it easy on us for the final by only having one chapter on it and tons of extra credit. He is very passionate about what he does and would take for every class if could.
Great professor. Clear lecture. There is a research but it's easy and he is the best grader. Highly recommend this class.
The professor cracks jokes every once in awhile and tells students about interesting personal experiences in the radiology field to keep morale up during class (later classes can get tiring). The course content is very straightforward with no tricks; just study the powerpoints, supplement with some textbook reading and you should do well.
Dr. F. makes the Rad program great. Really cares to teach, engages students, and breaks down information in lecture slides. One of the best teachers I have taken ever.
He hands out ADD codes! His lectures are clear and to the point! It may be helpful to peruse the PowerPoint lecture before class. Supplement notes with some textbook reading. The weekly exams are all Scantron and doable - make sure to Read Carefully Before Answering! Start Essay as Early as possible - he will look over it before due date
Awesome teacher all his exams are on his notes so record him if you can you are allowed to you won't have any homework just study your notes and you will pass
Dr F. is one of the best professors I have ever had the pleasure of learning with. He cares very deeply about how his students are doing, both in class and in life. He takes the time to make sure his students understand the concepts he is teaching and makes an effort to keep you interested. Pay attention in lectures and you will do fine on tests.
Dr. F is one of THE BEST instructors I ever had!!! He is absolutely excellent!!!!!!! He really knows his subject and presents it to the students in a very clear and interesting way!!! Plus an amazing sense of humor and charming personality!!!! I feel blessed to be his student!!!
He was a very great professor!!! Got an A but you have to study
You can tell he is VERY passionate about Radiology, however I am a DSS student and he goes fast with his lectures. It's hard to keep up with him sometimes, but I still believe he is a good instructor and I would definitely take him again.
Great professor! Easy A if you take notes and study. You don't need to purchase the textbook to pass. He does a review before every exam. 1 essay (4-5) pages due towards end of semester, but best if you work on it early (cant pass the class without it). Final exam is all true and false questions. Good luck!
Wonderful professor as you can tell from previous reviews. He is funny, respected, and sincerely wants his students to succeed. Gives reviews before each exam. Must complete CPR certification to pass the class (done in class). Would absolutely take him again.
I struggled at the beginning of the class getting a C on the first exam. Doctor F really gives his students a chance to get that A that all students want through his vast extra credit assignment: two e.c on two different units, the last quiz of the semester, and even the final. You can do it!
Dr. Frianeza is, by far, the best professor I have had the luck to study under. He integrates real life scenarios and anecdotes in his lessons which makes it so much easier to understand the concepts. He is also hilarious! Therefore, class is actually fun and easy to keep up with. Cypress College is so lucky to have him.
Amazing professor. Does a good job of presenting information. As with any class, be professional, study and youll pass.
Dr. F is a passionate professor who loves what he does. He's fun to listen to during lectures. He will throw things on the test from his lectures, so LISTEN CAREFULLY and take notes. He's crystal clear. Does review before exams and throws in extra credit often. No book necessary. Review PPT slides. 5 unit exams and 1 paper. CPR license by the end.
Dr. Frianeza is easily one of the best professors I've ever had at Cypress. He's extremely passionate about what he teaches and is very clear on the material being taught during lectures. He also lets you know what will be on the test. There is a paper that he requires but if you follow guidelines and check in with him on it, you're sure to pass!
Great professor. Cares about his students. Took this course during the pandemic. Met once a week. Gives quizzes/tests weekly. Recorded lectures with hints for test questions. Plenty of information but I studied his lectures and did well. Extra credit chances. He encourages you to reach out if you do not understand something.
One of the best professors ever! Very knowledgeable and explains things very well. No homework, just quizzes and tests. Many extra credit opportunities. Definitely take him!
Dr. F was an AMAZING rads professor! He is lenient, caring, funny and PRACTICAL.. the way all professors should be. Very easygoing and understanding. He genuinely enjoys teaching and helping students grow. Post graduation, he will still be there for you! Would happily take again, as he is my inspiration! Easy A type of class, if you do your part.
Dr. F is AMAZING!! He is super helpful and knowledgeable of the subject! He makes this class fun! He responds to his emails and is there for you if you need anything! He explains things well and is straight forward. Take him!! He does offer a few extra credit opportunities which is helpful! By far one of the best professors I've had at Cypress!
Dr Frianeza is a great professor! He is very clear and informative with lecture. Tests are very straightforward so it should be easy to get a good grade. He offers many extra credit opportunities and he really wants everyone to do their best. There is no homework only tests so if you are a bad test taker this class may not be for you.
Dr. Frianeza is an extremely caring and professional professor. The class itself is difficult so if you are taking it you need to bring your A game. There is so much subject matter to learn. Reading, taking notes, and paying attention to lecture videos will take you far in this class.
Dr. F is such a great person his lectures are so entertaining and explains everything very well. You have 5 tests and an essay, easy A. Everything is based on the slides study those and you'll be fine.
Extremely straightforward forward and his analogies make everything so easy to understand. Absolutely loved his course, he gives plenty of EC opportunities. Exam days he posts the lecture online so we can relax after an exam. I have huge respect for him, you can tell he loves what he teaches! Never had homework unless it was extra credit :)
He is GREAT! Instructions are clear for the essay. His tests are based on the powerpoint, study and you will get an A. This class can be material heavy but it is doable. Most of the time he will hint at what will be on the test. He wouldn't lecture after a test, he'd upload the lecture. You have to go in person for the exams. 100% recommend him!
Dr. F is the best professor you'll ever have! Lectures are clear and easy to understand. Amazing stories and is so funny! He straight up tells you what to study and what questions are on the exam. Use Quizlet, listen, and memorize. 5 exams, 1 CPR class, 1 50pt essay. Very doable class. He WANTS to help you pass. Wish he could teach all my classes.
His lectures are exactly what's asked on the exams and he makes it fun to learn as well. There's one research essay and 5 exams but they're all incredibly doable and easy to study for. He responds pretty quickly as well to questions so don't be afraid to reach out about anything. Great professor and I'd love to take him again.
He is amazing! Take him
Dr. F is genuinely one of the best professors I have had. Took him for patient care and intro to radiography. He truly wants you to succeed. His lectures are interesting. I took this class in the summer, it was a quiz or test almost every day but since it was the only class I was taking it was fairly easy. Lots of extra credit. proctored tests
Prof. Frianeza makes learning fun with engaging lectures. Exams are fair - just study the slides and you'll ace them. Unstuck ai was a lifesaver for quick review and practice. Overall, a manageable class with a great professor.
Dr F is an extremely caring and amazing instructor. He was only strict on the first day of class, which is understandable because he wants to set the expectation of the course. If you can't get an A, then something is wrong. He uploads lectures on zoom so you can rewatch. Make sure you have a firm understanding about KV, Density, mAs, contrast.
Dr. F is by far one of the best professors I've taken. The lectures are super clear and organized. 1 major essay and 5 exams, very duoble, and he provided review videos as a study guide. No tricks in his exams; make sure to study and listen to his review videos. Responses quickly to messages, so don't be afraid to reach out!
His lectures are prerecorded but are very detailed and are exactly what you're being tested on during exams, he offers few points extra credit here and there but it's mostly to help provide a tiny cushion. Super easy to get an A in his class as long as you study and he encourages you to reach out if you need help on a concept
Recorded zoom lectures are uploaded every week. I only hated the annoying students who constantly interrupt Dr. F to ask common sense questions, which made the videos longer. All exams are based on the Powerpoints. I got an A, but I wish he gave us hints of what's on the exam to prepare me, so I studied less. There is 1 paper required.
The best, no bad things to say. He's very clear on what to study and his lectures give great detail.
Dr F made this class bearable despite the massive amount of info on the PowerPoint slides. He tells you what to focus and what not to focus on. The class had a discord, but unfortunately it was composed of morons who ask common sense questions like when the paper is due, when it the next test, or if we had class next week.
very disappointing considering he is clearly so intelligent. he made it explicitly clear that there will be no EC other than the 2 listed on the syllabus, yet he gave 11 other EC points which he mentioned after the withdrawal date. So students like me, who had a low A & dropped to take it next semester, were not informed making us waste time/money.
I took 2 courses with Dr. F and he's always been very fair and straightforward. He's passionate and cares about his students. I almost dropped this class but he convinced me that I had plenty of time to get back on track. Glad I talked to him.
STUDY. You're taking this class for a reason. He does give extra credit but don't rely on it. He's a very good professor and says what is expected. No books are needed, he gives his lectures and his slides, study everything on those!
He tells you from the beginning, the only way you'll pass is if you truly understand the material. Find a way to relate to it and you'll do great. He made himself available to answer all of my questions. I emailed him a few times and also asked questions before we ended each class. His lectures were very entertaining and relatable. Loved the class.
Great teacher! 5 exams, CPR assignment, prerecorded lectures, and 1 essay. Pay attention to the videos and the review. He offers 1 extra credit point on the essay and a few more at the end of the semester. Pick essay topic early and review it with him before its due. You will also meet via zoom for maybe 20 min on no exam days.
Great teacher! 5 exams, CPR assignment, 1 essay, and prerecorded lectures. Study videos and reviews. Pick essay topic early and review it with him before its due. Zoom meetings last about 20 minutes on non exam days and you will check in via the chat and a code given to you. 1 extra credit point on essay and a few given at the end of the semester.
He was overall a great professor, but can be strict on things like attendance and the quizzes (to be expected in the rad department). The recorded lectures are usually 1 or 2 hours long, and it can take up a lot of time if u get distracted easily lol ;( we had a class discord and it actually helped so much so i recommend having one and checking it!
Attendance was mandatory on zoom. There would be lecture videos posted which were 1-2 hours long but overall the class wasn't hard. Make sure to spend time studying and WATCH the videos! There is extra credit but you would have to get the question correct.
Professor is not helpful at all if there's something you don't understand he will tell you to “figure it out” on your own.
