Mr. Palaski certainly is, overall, a good professor. He's a tinge arrogant, but that's a minor glitch. He knows A&P very well and I definitely learned a lot in his class. Many students found his exams difficult, yet I found that if I studied my class notes and read the text thoroughly, I did well.

He is a good instructor who has a lot of knowledge about the subject. He is very down to earth, and can relate to what it is like to be a student. I enjoyed every moment of his class, it was not easy but I learned a lot.

As long as you come to class every day take notes or record him, the classs is very easy to pass.

he is a good teacher

Mr.P is a good teacher. He knows his material and his tests are fair. He tells all students on their first day what he expects of them. Would you want someone in the medical field taking care of you if they could only pass A&P by doing extra credit work? There is a lot of material to memorize, only the serious need apply!

Mr. Palaski is a wonderful teacher. He knows his stuff. Classes are a lot of fun. There is a good amount of memorizing, but as long as you apply yourself the class is a breeze. I would reccomend this teacher for Bio 233 and 234.

great teacher

Hard class--be prepared to read and study. But, he is a great teacher & is really easy to talk to and get help from. Plus he is super gorgeous!! :)

He is a good teacher, however during his lectures he gets very side tracked. There is a lack of what exactally he expects of you for tests, however, I think he wants us to know it all. Which is good, but he does require too many chapters for one test.

A very good teacher.He is v.helpful. i know many r complaining about him, they r never happy people. He is very very hot. n absolutely the best teacher. I would recommend him. I wish I could take him in 234.

Greatest teacher I have had @ HFCC. I liked him so much in 233 I took him for 234. He has so much knowledge that he is willing to share. Lectures consist of a lot of information but very useful. If you study this class is a breeze. I would strongly recommend him to anyone and everyone even if you don't need this class i would take it just for fun

Tough, tests are straight from lecture. Good guy

He gives no direction in lab. Tests are very hard, and he jumps around when he lectures. It's very hard to take notes. I wouldn't recommend him.

ok seriously best teacher at hfcc hands down! i love him!

No Comments

hes interesting and knows a lot about the content hes teaching...lab practicals arent too bad, thats what got me a B in the course.. the tests are pretty hard but then again so is the material you're learning..ive recommended this teacher to a few people and they liked him.

Good Teacher, Tests are from notes, dont waste your time in the book, but make sure u get good notes. Lab isnt too hard, just make sure u know everything on the lists he gives out. He really knows his stuff and he usually has stories to tell that are really interesting on the subject.

His quizzes were VERY EASY! I thought he was a great Professor. I looked him up on this site before the class started and was VERY nervous by all the Negative comments. It was no piece of cake but def. easier than what students portrayed him to be!!

He is a very knowledge teacher tough but he is a good.

Good teacher, very helpful. Clear instructions. Comes off a bit hard on the first day, but really sweet guy. Super hot.

mr. palaski is a good teacher he says good stories that make you remember the stuff but in the same time he is hard and if you are taking MR. PALASKI don't take another class with it you have to give your whole time to it his labs are so easy but the lecture is sooooooooo hard and confusing you have to be so prepared in order to get a good grade

Palaski makes or breaks this class. He offered a lot more "item analysis" points for 234 than he did when i took him for 233. Take your own notes from the book! and do the practice tests on sciweb and in the book. His notes and the things he talks about in class sometimes don't cover hardly anything that he tests on. Be prepared to teach yourself!

Thought he was very good, class was quite challenging but if you like anatomy and the human body you will learn! i didnt even buy the book didnt need it, didnt try as hard as i could to do the best and still got a B. stories are ok but this guy is about business and is down to earth. Id recommend him definitely.

Took A&P 1&2 with him. The stuff is very hard to learn. But he makes you learn it, and you will remember it. He is a great and funny teacher if you allow him to be. Dont judge him to quick, he comes off strong, but he treats his students wonderful if you stick with him.

ugh he is the worst teacher ive ever had...he expects you to know and doesnt teach you, you basically have to sit in lab and teach yourself and occasionally he will go over the bosy parts. yea anatomy is hard with any teacher but his tests are the worst!! I do not recommend him to anybody!!

This class is non-stop from the first day. Read,read,read and study as much as possible!

I heard this teacher was tough. I've learned so much from him. He is one of the best teachers I've had. I think that the students that don't like him, are the students that don't study. This is the teacher to take if you seriously want to learn.

He is serious about teaching, and if you art too, then you will do great!!!

Great teacher! All you have to do is show up to class and pay attention and you will do fine. His exams are somewhat difficult and you have to study

He is an amazing instructor. He is extremely knowledgeable about anatomy. His lectures are a bit disorganized but you learn and retain what he teaches. I would recommend him to everyone.

Professor Palaski was a hard professor i had to show up everyday and study really hard to get my A but it was worth it, i learned a lot from his class. his lectures are crystal clear and all his tests are from his lectures so pay attention and take good notes and also read the book it will help you

Mr. Palaski is a GREAT teacher. Yes, the class is hard but thats the point of school.. to learn things you dont know. He is there to help you with everything. In lab you teach yourself but thats why you have lab partners. Palaski is your intructor,he is there to answer all your questions, he isnt there to hold your hand and give you all the answers

I passed, but the class average on tests was almost always a failing grade and the highest was usually a B. I would recommend trying to take the same teacher for both A&P courses. I had a different teacher for 233 and if I had a buck for every time Mr. P said "as you should have learned in 233", when I actually didn't...

Mr.Palaski is a great teacher and very helpful. Always learning something new. Must study everyday in order to perform well in his class. Very open about each and every test. Turn off cellphones during lab kicked a student out from lab. Doesn't allow water or food in Lab and Lecture but otherwise very helpful man.

Mr. Palaski is not an easy teacher at all. On exam day you better know your stuff. Read the book very thoroughly. And whatever you do make sure your phone is off in class, he will kick you out/fail you on a exam if it rings.

I had Mr.Palaski as a teacher this semester and its no easy A. He makes you earn your A. The class is so fun though, I never wanted it to end. Hes an amazing teacher, and super funny. Makes you understand things really well. 5 lecture tests (75-100 questions, not to hard) 3 lab tests, SUPER easy. Highly recommended. Best teacher

He was not a bad teacher. Although when he lectured he spoke so fast as if everyone already knew what he was talking about, making it hard to take notes. I recommend being there every day,use a recorder and study!It's alot of info to learn in a little amount of time. TIP: start learning bones, muscles,&cranial anatomy before the class even begins

Hard, but fair. Study!!!

Had him for both A&P 1&2, not easy classes by any means but doable. Study consistently and keep up with the chapters and you'll do fine. Mr. P is fair, he does lot of review and gives extra 'item analysis' points which helps a lot. I could do without some of his more gruesome pathology stories, but he's a pretty cool guy overall. :)

if your trying to take a class for fun ths is not the class for you . this instructor makes you use your brain , and if you passed his class you will be proud that you learned something . he is easy going and knows what he is talking about .his stories are related to a medical condtion he experienced or someone in his family .

Starting off in the semester I was extremely intimidated by Mr. Palaski. He seemed mean, but I stayed in the class and came to realize after a while he is a great teacher!! His tests and quizzes are hard, labs very easy.. I dedicated most of my study time to his class and if you don't study you will not pass his class.Take good notes and read book

This class is a piece a cake i passed this class with a A- And I did not study for 2 exams. A big advice is to take notes because whatever he says is in the test. Loved this class. I learned so much. If u want to learn something. Take this class. Study and u will do good

You need to put the time in but it is doable. He provides you with power point notes and gives you a solid amount of time to prepare for quizzes and tests. If you are not successful in his class you have no one to blame but your self..I highly recommend him.

Mr. Palaski is an excellent teacher. Very intimidating at first, lightened up as the term moved on. He definitely knows his subject and will be most helpful if you just ask. Do not try to take advantage, he's not gullable at all! I enjoyed him as a teacher and would recommend him to all who really want to learn!

Awesome teacher. would have taken him for 234 too if he was teaching summer semester.

Mr. Palaski is not only helpful but extremely bright, he can answer just about any question you have (I'm taking 234 with a teacher who doesn't know anything...so I miss that). You have to actually work for your grade, just pay attention to his lectures and study, its not that hard. I really enjoyed the class, even though it was a short semester.

BEST TEACHER IN THE WORLD! Took it in spring (which was super condensed) and got an A+! Didnt use book at all! Exams are STRAIGHT from his lectures! Oral reviews make up the exam! Makes you truly learn the material! Very funny and interesting to listen to! Wish every teacher was like him!!

Was very clear and willing to explain to a student several times to get them to understand.I loved having him and would recommend him to anyone.

This class is not easy, but this instructor made it as easy as it could possibly could be. Quizzes/Tests were based on lectures, so taking notes and lecture attendance is important along with putting in the effort yourself. I loved this class, and teacher. If you need help he makes himself available. He is great and I highly recommend him!

This class is lil bit challenging, just by reading books you can not get all the answers right in the exam or quizzes, as he ask some questions from his lecture. So you have to take notes! But his grading system is fair, he gives some extra points after every exam, it helps to maintain the grade. If you do not have choice thn you can take it.

People, if u want to learn u should take this professor.I'll admit that the class is hard, but hey nothing in life is easy;if u r planning in going to the medical field, this teacher is the only A&P professor that will make u ready.TAKE NOTES!! He is very funny, handsome and most importantly he wants everyone to understand. I highly recommend HIM!!

Palaski is one of my favorite teachers and i am so happy i took him for A&P.The way he lectures captivates you. It is not just lecture but a great learning experience. I would never miss a lecture just because his class was fun. He has a lot of great personal experience. He only tests on what he lectures, taking notes is a must& quizes once a week

Yes this professor is tough, but he expects you to actually be proactive in studying and that you will act like a professional student.

I loved Mr. Palaski. I was very interested in the class to begin with, but he is a great teacher. Quizes were from his lectures, he offered extra credit. Was willing to help students out to understand material. You must study for this class because it is not easy, but if you study what he tells you to you will do well.

Took the class in the Spring, it was pretty challenging but very doable. Make sure to write down everything he says, and use your notes to study for his tests. Mr. Palaski is a great lecturer, he can get off topic some times with his stories. Overall good professor, would recommend.

I took Palaski in the spring and I'm so glad I did. Anatomy is not an easy subject, but Mr. Palaski is a great example of how a teacher should teach/lecture. You have to take really good notes as well as reading the chapters given to maintain a good grade. Overall he's an awesome teacher that truly knows his information & cares about his students.

I took this class in the spring, and it was VERY challenging, but he was a cool teacher. Study notes and youll be fine. He does get off topic alot, but if i can pass this class, almost anyone can =P

Mr. Palaski was by far the most helpful professor I've ever had at HFC. He would relate the material to real life situations which made it so much easier to understand and he would tell us stories which was great because it kept the students awake. His exams are exactly everything he says in class. If you go to his lectures, you'll pass.

Very, very smart. Fun teacher. Pay attention in class. Great anatomy instructor. Recommend. Two chili peppers;-)

This is a very tough class. He is very knowledgeable when it comes to this subject, though. Took this class in the Spring so it was very fast pace. Everything he says is on the exams. As long as you're a good note taker than the exams shouldn't be too difficult. His labs are also extremely helpful. Overall, you'll either love this class or dread it

Mr. Palaski's class was probably the hardest class I have taken thus far. With that said it was interesting, he has a lot of real world experience that makes for great stories in class, he is excited and incredibly knowledgeable about anatomy and physiology. If you take his class you will learn a lot but you have to put the work in.

Mr. Palaski is by far the best professor i've taken at HFCC. I seriously don't even want his class to end, because you lean so much and he's vey knowledgeable. Do your part and you will be fine in his class. He's hilarious and his quizzes are mostly announced. Very caring and you are expected to do your part. Take GOOD notes and be willing to learn

Mr. Palaski is by far the best professor AT HFC. YOU WILL LEARN A LOT. Very funny and his exams and quizzes are very simple if you take good notes and pay attention. He's down to earth and very easy to approach. Don't hesitate to ask questions and be willing to learn. BEST BIO PROFESSOR:D

Take this professor if you want to learn. He will go fast with his lectures but again your a college student and expected to do your part. A MUST TAKE COURSE IF YOUR GOING TO THE HEALTH FEILD AND ACTUALLY WANT TO LEARN. loved this course. Easy course if you do your part.

BEST PROFESSOR AT HFC. a must take course. Do your part and you will be fine. amazing course. i wish i can take this course again.

Mr. Palaski and he's really good at what he does and all you have to do is take notes and you will be set for the course. I earned an A+ and every student is capable of that if they do their part.

I'm taking 233 now with Mr. Palaski, and he's by far the best professor i've had in years. This class does require you to do WORK. if you're looking for an easy A... DON'T TAKE IT. VERY MUCH RECOMMENDED. Take him:)

I just got done taking bio 233 with Mr. Palaski. I must tell you this has got to be my favorite proffesor. His lectures fly by . he puts effort into helping students succeed. Unlike other teachers I've had he is willing to help if you need it. Very humourous, he makes boring lectures fun. In all its a tough subject you need to study to pass.

I'm just here to say I love Mr.P and I miss his lectures. If I was given a chance I would take him again with a heartbeat.

I just want to say to me he was the best teacher ever. The ones that hate him just don't want to study. Nothing is easy, you have to try to get a good grade. That's what I did and ended up with an A.

If your want to pass his class you will have to study like crazy and record the lectures. Only one person in our entire class ever got a 100% on a test. He gives free extra credit on all tests though. Wouldn't want to take the class again, but made it out with an A+.

Very challenging course. His tests are very tricky so you have to make sure you read the textbook inside and out and pay attention to his lectures cause he sometimes says things that aren't in the book but are on the tests/quizes. If you put the time and energy, you'll pass with an A+.

I had Mr. Palaski Fall semester 2016. This class was tough but nothing is easy, you must do what you got to in order to get a good grade. He does sometimes go off the topic and he can be sarcastic. If you don't understand something he can help. I also had to record his lectures and listen to them afterwards. He is a very nice teacher tho.

Great anatomy professor, very smart , amazing lectures , also his lab are extremely helpful .

Great professor, Got an A+. showers us with extra credit, item analysis. .... be prepared to consume knowledge otherwise, you will not make it. STUDY from the textbook, notes, and lectures. If you can't then I suggest you find some other professor who gives it to you off the notes. Pay attention to the story it helps you remember certain aspects.

Hes a really good teacher but like all... get ready to study because his tests are difficult.

Honestly I like Mr. Palaski, I think he really cares about his students being successful and wanting them to pass. I must say his exams can be difficult, the best advice I can give is go to lecture, record if you can, and ask questions. this is the type of class were your grade is based off of exams only... but I still think he's a cool teacher.

Mr. Palaski is a great guy. Anatomy is not a easy class regardless of the instructor. Do not just use his study guides you will fail you must take notes in class and outside of class, you have to read the book. He does curve tests and quizzes. He teaches students in lab too. He gives you the grade you have earned. you can makeup quizzes and exams

Incredibly knowledgeable! Just come to class and be a respectful adult and you will pass. Heavy lecture but had outlines for each chapter to take notes with. Answers questions and is helpful. Would take again for sure!

He was one of the best teachers i have taken for a bio class at HFC. offers a ton of extra credit. There is many chances to improve in the class. He does give pop quizzes very often, like once every week. However, if you pay attention, you will realize his lecture exams are just the quizzes, like the exact questions and format, just more questions.

He is a great professor. He really knows what hes teaching and cares about his students passing. If you attend and actually work hard youll pass his class.

Greatest professor Ive ever had! First teacher to push me to put the work in and help develop my study habits. Understands the material in great detail and explains it very well. He gives you the main points in his lectures but its up to you to read and further your knowledge on the subject. Im a CT tech now and I owe a lot of it to this man!

This professor is very straight to the point but also knows the material well and explains things very well. If you show up to class and actually study everything he tells you to, you will pass. All the reviews below that are negative scared me at first but actually taking his class showed me that he really cares about the students and is honest

Mr. Palaski is tough, but a great teacher. You better be a read and retain type of person or his exams will be tough. There are many resources on campus including his office hours for extra help. He really is caring and passionate. Don't be afraid to ask questions during lecture. He wants you to ask questions! He is amazing in the lab portion too!

Mr P definitely knows his stuff. As long as you show up every day and actually read the book, you will be fine. Lab exams were pretty easy. He gives you a lab manual with literally everything you need to know in it. He does help those that are actually trying and showing up. No homework but lots of quizzes and tests. I really enjoyed this class.

Mr. P is very clear in the very first class/syllabus about what it takes to pass this class. Read the chapter prior to the lecture so that you have a little understanding of what he's teaching, and record the lectures. He's very knowledgeable about the material and has funny life stories that relate to his teachings to break up the lectures.

This class is hard because its A and P but he gives you every chance to improve your grade with some extra credit. You have to read before the class starts to have a general idea of what hes going to talk about because he can move fast. He tells you what will be on the test some is complex but you know what will be on the test.

He was great. Good lectures, good teaching mechanics. Go to class and study and you will do fine. It is a tough course but he explains things well and is accessible if you need help. Also he is a good person, my fiance was having our boy during finals week and he worked with me to give me a chance to study and take the test. He is a stand-up guy.

This class is very hard no matter what professor you take it with and there is a lot of material that you need to know for his tests. His tests are mainly from the book and some of his outlines. He clearly explains what is going to be on his tests, and does a review the day before the test in class. He offers some extra credit quizzes.

He is very helpful when you go to him during his office hours. His tests are mainly from lecture and the textbook. You have to read the chapters in order to do good on his tests and can not just go by his notes. He makes funny jokes during class and is a very uplifting teacher. You NEED to study a lot in order to pass this class.

He is an amazing professor, 10/10. I would take his class again if I could. He makes the lectures fun to listen to and allows you to ask questions when needed. He also curves the exams, which helps a lot.

Mr.palaski is a great teacher!! DONT judge him through the ratings here, his lectures and labs are as good as you need before actually studying your best in his class, he gives extra credit, and all you need is to take good notes from lectures and you will be fine, Again DONT judge from what you here about him, HE IS A GOOD TEACHER!!!!

A very good and fair professor. For such a difficult class Mr. Palaski made it simpler. He runs an EXCELLENT lab and allows students to record his lectures to better study which you will need to be doing a lot or you will certainly lose.

If you do the work and study the class is really easy. There's four exams and a few quizzes and a homework assignment or two every month but overall the class is really easy. He gives lots of extra credit and is really lenient. He takes questions from the quizzes and includes them in the test, I'd 100% recommend his class

I was nervous to take Professor Palaski's class after reading the reviews about him. However, after taking his class I saw he's so knowledgeable and clearly loves what he's teaching. His class is tough but not impossible. Show up to lectures, study the lectures, and the read the textbook and you should be good. He's respectful and very helpful too.

Embrace every moment and every piece of information this professor throws at you! Some of the info wont make sense at first but trust when this professor says he will change the way you think in terms of what we are and our capabilities within the A&P realm and phenomenas. blessed! Love the challenge, always. No excuses here if you want real growth

When I first read his reviews I was so scared for this semester. He is so funny and silly. Everyone is so dramatic, if you record his lectures and take GOOD notes, you will 100% get a A in the class, just study. I would only have to study barley a week prior to average in the 80s. He gives a lot of extra credit too, and study assistant sheets.

He says no one is smarter than anyone else it all comes to the effort you put. He has given extra credit on all the past exams, easy extra credit quizzes, and extra credit lab competitions. I would recommend everyone who has to take this class to take notes from textbook, listen to recording, and make friends!! This class is not bad at all

Mr. Palaski is an amazing professor. He really cares about his students, and makes you feel like you could be anything that you want to be just as long as you put the work in. Yes his class requires you to pay attention and study hard, but nothing is better than pushing yourself and seeing it pay off! I'll miss his class.

GUYS LEMME TELL U I LOVE THIS TEACHER, ONE OF THE BEST!!! I was in ur position looking at these reviews and wanting to change my prof so bad. Record lectures take good notes and when u get home, listen to it again and see any notes you missed!!! Go to his office hours,make YOURSELF known. i promise if you study and put effort, you will do great!

He's very nice, but you have to study fr.
