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!

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

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.

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.
