great teacher, i actually learned stuff. his tests are kind of hard (sort of tricky wording) but if you study and understand you'll be fine. seriously, he's a great teacher. i finally understand this stuff!!!
good teacher, veryyyyyy funny guy but his tests are hard.the questions require you to thoroughly know the material. he doesnt make them himself but uses the state tests.
Awesome teacher,funny professor,questions are a little difficult, no suprises on exam, he stresses exactly what he wants you to know.
Excellent professor, one of the best!!!Everybody should teach like him.
Like funny,discusing for his life or some his student more than 30 minutes.Do not prepare for the lecture class and the lab. The test is something else, not in the handout. Recommend that do not take his class.
He has a great sense of humor. You MUST pay attention in his class and take notes as his tests are based, not on his handouts, but on his class discussion. Don't have to read the book--he explains clearly and in detail the things from the book he wants us to know. I learned TONS-would take him again
This guy is the worst professor i ever had! he refers to the students as "sisters and brothers" he is very disrespectful and unhelpful. I would rather jump off a cliff then sit in a class with that boring man again. He talks like a monotone machine also.
THIS TEACHER STRESSES OVER CERTAIN THINGS THAT HE SAYS ARE GOING TO BE ON A TEST AND ONLY 1 QUESTION WILL APPEAR ON IT. HE DOESN'T EXPLAIN THINGS WHEN STUDENTS ASK HIM QUESTIONS. HE MUST THINK WE ARE IN MEDICAL SCHOOL, WERE NOT! A TEACHER NEEDS TO CONVEY TO THE STUDENTS IN SUCH AWAY THAT THE STUDENT GRASPS AND UNDERSTANDS WHAT HE IS TRANSMITTING.
He is an excellent professor. To do well, you must take notes and really understand his lectures. Fabulous sense of humor. I really learned A&P in his class.
If you like confusing teachers who give you test questions with A, B and C all as possible answers, take him. He was very unhelpful and did nothing to help his students pass.. he went out an outline, didn't give us a review, nothing and if we asked for help he would tell us to go to the learning resource center.
I did not like this teacher, he is really hard and his lectures are not clear, he gives you the review sheet but you have to study from the book as well sometimes 2 or 3 chapters at the same time, if you work and go to school like me, this is very hard and with a teacher like him that does not help make it worse.
The worst teacher I have ever had. He his flippant and rude at times. He is slightly arrogant - so what if he's a Doctor! I would never, ever recommended him to anyone.
He is a great teacher that explains himself well. He's willinig to spend time with his and work with his students. To pass his class you have to be involved and you have to want to learn.
Often stray away from the topic
His lectures are clear and his notes are helpful. The tests come straight from the lecture, so don't miss any classes if possible. If you show up & pay attention, you will do well in his class. His explanations are simple, he's a good teacher.
not the best teacher but o.k if you study and attend all lectures.i would reccommend another teacher if theres a better one out there. he's better than kovacs, but just not the best
If you want to actually learn something Dr Assad is the professor to take, he is really thorough, his test are challenging and often involes critical thinking. He lays the foundation of what to expect as you take higher level subjects such as nursing classes that involve alot of critical thinking.

great professor
Tests are generally hard; they seem easy, but like another user said, they involve critical thinking,you have to be careful. This is a class you will work hard in. He is an enjoyable professor; he likes to tell stories sometimes and gives breaks often if the students seem to need it. NEVER CRAM FOR THIS: READ, READ!! Do all you can
Great teacher. His tests are challenging but it will help you in the long run. He will give you extra credit on the final to help you with your grades. He is just not the most helpful but the best professor if you want to learn. This class requires alot of study
Dr. Mohammad Asad is an awesome professor. You acually learn in his class instead of just doing busy work. He's very funny and keeps the class interested. He's very helpful and easy to understand. He has a very laid back attitude. His test can be tricky and its very important to write down everything he says during his lecture. I def. recommend him
He's a great professor. He tells you what you need to know and what is on going to be on the test.
Awesome,awesome teacher. If you attend class and take notes, you will be on your to a passing grade. He has a great sense of humor and gives many examples to help you pass your test. Take him, I highly recommend him for A&P, his great. one of the best teachers I've had.
Dr. Asad is awesome! He explaines the material in a realistic way to help you understand and relate back to real world issues. Take alot of notes in his class - it will be on the test. Have had to use the text book rarely. Don't cram, study through out the week and you'll be fine. Great learning experience. Taking him for A&P2.
excellent professor highly recommended you will not regret just show up on time,take notes and read notes before going to class also study hard in order to pass.
excellent professor if you want an A you will need to show up for class on time and be prepared study hard.
Worst 1086 teacher ever. 1085 he is easy but do not take him for 1086. 90% of the class is failing.
well informed, educated teacher.
He teaches like you are in Medical School trying to get your PhD. Cool guy, very informed but the first test 75% of the class failed it. DO NOT TAKE HIM if you dont have 40 hours a week to devote to studying. I'm warning you-it's serious.
You do learn alot in this professor's lecture. He has his own hand-out for the lecture. However, the exams are VERY, VERY complicated! I would suggest to anyone taking his class not to take any other classes at the same time. I even HIGHLY suggest to take time off from work to study for the exams. The exams are NO JOKE!
Beware if you are taking other classes or work be prepared to get a low grade. His tests require critical thinking and need to review everyday for tests. DO NOT CRAM or you will not do good. Best advice is invest in a recorder for his class and review everyday or make flash cards. He translates hard to understand items very good.
Grade is based on tests only. Does not cuvre even when 90% of the class fails. He does not care about your success in the class. Only gave out 1 A. DO NOT TAKE THIS TEACHER.
Probaly one of the worst professors at this school.. Doesnt care whether or not you pass brags about about only one or two people passing his class as if thats a good thing.. DONT TAKE HIM IF YOU NEED TO PASS!! The Worst!!!
Dr. Asad is a good teacher, he explains the material really well and relates it to everyday life. If you are going to take his class be prepared to study a lot because his tests are not easy.Also buy the textbook (even though u wont use it in class) and make sure you read the chapters because some of his test questions are from the book.
Great teacher you can tell Dr.Asad loves teaching. This class isn't easy but when is Anatomy easy?? He bases his tests off notes and his handouts never uses the book in class - ...overall great teacher
Took him for lab. Very clear and clean cut as to what he wants you to know. I thought the midterm and final was very fair. You HAVE to study, but then again, what anatomy class do you NOT have to? He gave bonus questions on the exams for extra points. I thoroughly enjoyed his class and wish he was teaching 1086!!! Highly recommended!!
He is clear about what he wants you to know. You have to study. You have to spend time in the anatomy lab and read the lab book. You have to know it. This class takes alot of study time, but HE IS CLEAR IN WHAT HE WANTS ON THE TEST. More than I can say about other professors there. If spend time in the lab and read you can get an A like me :-)
Awesome teacher. You must attend class because whatever is explained in class will be on the test.He's clear about what is expected. Tests are from handouts. Just study hard and you will definitely pass this class. Same for the lab!
I got an "A" in this class. It's true that he doesn't care if you fail and doesn't curve. BUT he is very clear about what he wants and concepts you have to know. YOU HAVE TO STUDY ALOT! You have to spend alot of time in the anatomy lab at North Campus. If you don't have to time to study alot then he is not for you. I got an A and you can too.
DR ASAD WAS EXTREMELY HELPFUL AND INFORMATIVE TEACHING ANATOMY. HE WAS EXTREMELY PROFICIENT. HIS TESTS ARE DETAILED AND ATTENDANCE IS MANDITORY, BUT HE MADE IT FUN LEARNING THE SUBJECT! I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM FOR ANYONE GOING INTO THE MEDICAL PROFESSION!!!!
This professor knows his material well since he is a medical doctor and has been teaching the A & P for many years. However, he is very insultive in class if the student does not know an answer to one of his questions even going as far as mentioning grades. He also seems to come to classes tired and hungry with a very short fuse.
This Professor knows is stuff, he cant force you to learn. He gave the material.He can hold your hands and teach you to walk. join a group and make the A&P lab is your best friend
took bsc1086L would highly recommend this Professor he is helpful and will stay over to help you very clear take notes because quizes/test comes from exactly what he lectures.Definately recommend
Awesome professor! Not an easy class, he expects you to study your stuff. I got an A, but I studied hard for it. Sometimes he'd ramble off topic, but he kept the class entertained. I always had fun in his lab.
Very hard professor. His tests are tough, you need to know your stuff. He knows his stuff and expects you to know it too. If you don't not have a lot of time to study do not take his class! Never take him for summer terms too much information that he expects you to know inside out!!!!
Teacher lectures are clear and concise. Ideas and subjects are clearly understood. Handouts extremely helpful along with class attendance. Good attitude and funny sense of humor make it enjoyable. Even though multiple choice test questions make you think. lots of select all that apply. GOOD LUCK
I am surprised this professor is rated so highly. His class was HARD. Midterm was about 30 questions, ALL fill in the blank. No multiple choice. He had slides and bones on the table with labels on them pointing to a structure and you had to label it. Every lab I was confused. I didn't understand him. No review sheet. No hints. Dropped the class
Very good professor. Actually teaches and tries very hard to keep the class interesting and make learning kinda fun at the same time. Would definitley recomend his class.His tests are very challenging but if you study like you should be doing you are guaranteed to pass.
HES A GOOD TEACHER CAN RAMBLE OFF TOPIC AT TIMES SO DONT DISTRACT HIM IF YOU WANT A CLEAR EXPLANATION WITHOUGHT GETTING SIDE TRACKED. I WORKED AND WENT 2 SCHOOL GOT A B MUST STUDY IF YOU LEARN BETTER BY READING A PACKET THAN THIS IS IT FOR YOU BUT IF YOU NEED MORE IN DEPTH INCORPORATE TEXT BOOK ACCORDINGLY NOT AN EASY A BUT WHY WOULD YOU WANT THAT!
OMG.RUN RUN RUN. His lab is HARD. Didnt teach. Didnt give a review. Just said "whatever we talked about from day one will be on the midterm." Didnt know what to expect. He spent the WHOLE class before the midterm,lecturing us on what pisses him off. I also noticed he has bad reviews from Palm Beach community college. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY OR TIME.
Great teacher. He is very animated and can ramble at times but he makes the lessons very interesting and he will ask about bones and muscles etc... He is a really nice man and funny. People over react and think he is rude because of his accent but thats not true. If your class is involved he gets involved. He makes it into stories.
Excellent teaching style. Not an easy class but if you study you will do fine. He expects what you should already expect of yourself. He knows the subject! I wish he was also teaching A & P II. His lab is hard too, but again, study what he teaches and you will succeed.
Worst professor I ever had. He just rambles on and on in class. He claims that every thing that comes out of his mouth will be on the exam. Not true. He gives hand out to students but they are not helpful. His tests require critical thinking and are extremely hard. He is also very disrespectful towards students . Big mistake if you decide to take h
One of the best teachers at BC. He is no harder than the subject requires. This is a subject that should be taken seriously and you will be forced to take it seriously if you want an A. He tells stories that really help explain. Tests are all multiple choice, but require thought. Lots of extra credit! Take him if you want to learn Anatomy.
This Doctor is definite quality. He's funny when he talks, tells jokes, tells you a story, and even when he gets upset. Very clear teacher, his lab is hard, you will have to study (it is A&P, expect it). His lecture is multiple choice and it's exactly what comes out of his mouth and out of his study notes. Interesting stories. Cares for students!
Best prof in BC!! Makes AP easier by giving analogies so students can understand and remember the topic. So far, I have A in the lecture. Exams are based on handouts and discussions so attend every class. Study both handouts and your notes, you will get good grades. I'm hoping he has AP2 next fall because I'll take him again!
Probably the best professor I have ever had. Made me fall in love with the body and biology. Tests are multiple choice with plenty of extra credit. Take him!!!!
Just got an A from 6week semester. His tests come from the notes he prints out, book helps alot to clarify but not really necessary. It is mandatory to go to the LRC and STUDY. He gives extra credit points in his tests. If you dont study expect an D at best. BTW Funniest proffesor I've ever had. I would take him again if I could.
DR ASAD IS A GOOD PROFESSOR. HE EXPLAINS WELL, WHEN HE DOES. HE'S GOT A GOOD SENSE OF HUMOR, LIKES TO TELL JOKES, BUT AT THE SAME TIME WASTES TOO MUCH TIME, THEN KINDA OF RUSHES THOUGH THE MATERIAL.YOU HAVE TO STUDY HARD. OVERALL, HE'S NOT BAD.
DR ASAD HIS A VERY GOOD PROFESSOR . HE EXPLAINS THE MATERIAL VERY WELL SO THAT EVERYONE CAN UNDERSTAND.HE LET YOU FALL IN LOVE WITH ANATOMY. HE LOVES TO GIVE JOKE.HE GIVES 5 TEST AND 5 EXTRA CREDIT QUESTION ON EACH TEST IF YOU STUDY AND READ IS QUESTION CAREFULLY YOU WILL PASS LIKE ME WITH AND A
Don't take him! He only uses a packet to teach the class and doesn't explain the material well. He isn't willing to help you out if you're struggling. The only grades in the class are the 4 tests, so if you're a bad test taker you will fail.
Prof. Asad know his subject!! regardless of this acent he will try to explain the material to students as best as he can. This is a very hard class!! STRONGLY recommend recording his lectures and taking notes to study from them!U MUST STUDY if you want a passing grade. He can be funny at times. Just attend class,take notes and STUDY! you'll be fine
This man is knowledgable and simplifies it all. He provides the notes that you need to know, and if you know that, you know it all. It's simple but you obviously have to know the material in the note packet. Do that, you'll get an AAAAAA! :)
Dr. Asad is a very understandable and caring professor who will spend the extra time to know you and explain everything to you. You have to read his notes and be able to understand concepts not just words. All in all he is very humble and enjoys being there. You will be blessed if you have him. I was
Best teacher ever After having so many crappy teachers This guy is amazing will make you love anatomy so smart loves to teach will make you understand if you listen amazing Got an A over summer. Did work hard for it Clearly loves the subject and cares for students I just used his notes didn't use the book
Professor Asad is a good teacher. He doesn't make Anatomy harder than what it already is. Just like any other science class you must study if you want to pass but overall he was a very easy going teacher. He allows you to choose between 2 quizzes , 2 practicals with 40 points extra credit or 3 quizzes , 2 practicals , & 10 points extra credit .
Currently taking this his class. I have him for lecture and lab; his lectures class isn't that bad but lab is so had with him because everything is written response no multiple choice like this lecture classes. He give no homework or extra assignments that help up your grade in some cases. He give 5 extra credit question on the tests in lecture
I took him for anatomy 1 lecture. Loved it. I was scared walking into this class because every said how hard anatomy was. You definitely need to put time into this class. His lectures are awesome most of the time I didn't even need to take notes I just listened. I got an A in his class. I would for sure take him again.
He does not communicate. He does not tell you what to study for either of his practical exams. He talks about stuff that has no relation to this class like his son who is top of his class. He loves to talk and will go on and on and waste your time not teaching you and then not tell you what you need to spend time on or focus. DONT TAKE HIS CLASS.
Lab:Unfortunately his teaching method for the lab consists of showing you the model and labeling the parts. Does not review or provide resources to help students excel in the lab. Some of the parts he requires you to know are not covered in the book. Lack of interest to help his students. Exams are fill in the blank. Doesnt mind failing whole class
He is a nice professor and he knows his anatomy. Unfortunately, I did receive a D because it was a lot of information to take in. You have to find the time to review on your recorded, took notes, and paid attention but did not review so I did not pass. Multiple choice test, but very tricky.
This class was very difficult to follow. He spoke on and on about his life instead of the course. He told us we didn't have to purchase the book. He gave study guides that didn't match the questions he had on the test. Your grade was determined by the test's only. I didn't do well in this class.
Lab: Anatomy is already hard as it is and the fact that the professor never reviewed made it harder. He only verbally reviews the models. He gives no homework. Only two quizzes, the practical and the final. He doesn't leave room for error. He also tends to go off topic a lot and tends to talk a lot about his life. Very knowledgeable but very tough.
Asad is a good guy. His lectures are definitely helpful, and follows his lesson plan to the T. Only complaint is that he is a bad ranter. He can go off on rants that are totally unrelated to the topic. One time he talked about buying cars for 20 minutes... But other than that a very relatable and funny guy. Takes solid notes and hit the lab hard.
Professor Asad is an amazing teacher!! He actually teaches!! Doesn't just sit behind a desk and read off of powerpoint presentations. Anatomy is a challenging class, so you have to study! Nobody wants to study, but for that subject you have to. He really tries to get his students to understand the information, not just memorize. He is a gem at BC!
Asad is very friendly and nice, likes to joke around with the class. My favorite about his lab is that he lets you do your own thing and leave whenever you are finished. Your grade is completely up to you, you need to study but he is not trying to trick you. 2 quizzes, 2 practicals. Study from the lab notebook & models and you'll get an A.
He relates anatomy to real life, does not use power points to teach but elaborates off of a packet he provides, and with his drawings RECORD HIS LECTURES and actually UNDERSTAND the info you'll be good; For lab his mid/finalmemorization go to Asc, for 2 quizzes be familiar with anything and everything written in that lab manual prior to test date
I took the 6-week summer lecture with Dr. Asad and loved his class! His lectures are entertaining and easy to listen to, he helps you remember information via his "stories". Take tentative notes on the lectures and read over the packets and you'll ace the class. Great Professor!
I took Dr. Asad for AP2 lab in the 6wk course and passed with an A+. Labs are usually difficult and his was no different. He gives you all the information you need for the test and also gives extra credit on quizzes and exams! He is very friendly, passionate, and knowledgeable! He cares about his students and will help any way he can! Take him!
DON'T TAKE THIS UNLESS YOU'RE FULLY COMMITTED, I DROPPED THE CLASS ON TIME BUT DIDNT RECEIVE A REFUND. I DON'T LIKE HIS TEACHING STYLE BUT TO EACH THEIR OWN. HE TELLS YOU THE CLASS ISNT FOR YOU IF YOURE NOT DEDICATED, I COULDNT MANAGE OTHER CLASSES WITH HIS LECTURE CLASS AND WORK.
Dont take Asad unless you are good with teaching yourself. Hes a poor professor and doesnt seem very passionate about helping students learn. He talks more about his personal life rather than what we need to know to pass the class. I took him for a&p 2 lab. Dont take him unless youre comfortable with the library and self teaching.
the class is heavy no matter who you take, but Pro. Asad makes it way more difficult. he expected you to know all the material before the first day of class. basically, you have to teach yourself in this class and he also gives trick test
This prof. is a nightmare. Whole grade based off of 5 exams. Ive never had a prof. finish days worth of material and then give a test the following morning. He expects you to automatically know everything and doesnt care to answer questions. Record his class bc he talks way too fast and tests are based only on that. I taught myself everything.
I earned an A for this class. This is not an easy class. You must take notes, study, and do well on tests because your grade is only based on that. Make sure to write down his lectures literally almost word for word.
I loved Dr. Asads class. He really knows his subject by heart and gives tips on how you can do well on the test. Anatomy is hard and requires a lot of work but Dr. Asad only gives 2 written quizzes exam and 2 practicals. Just study and you will pass the class. I already scheduled my classes next Sem and taking him again.
As expected this class is really tough but go to lab and study you for sure you will pass. Dr. Asad knows his materials really well but will go a little out of topic to teach you about life hacks. He only grades based on your practicals and 10% from two quizzes so study and you wont fail. :)
Took Dr. Asad for AP1Lab and AP2Lab. Very easy to get an A. Just go to the Lab and memorize the materials. He usualy tells you which ones are going to be on his test so listen to everything he says and take a lot of videos! He tends to talk about some life hacks once in a while but really shows he cares!
Hes not a bad professor if you like to teach yourself. He goes over EVERYTHING in the lab manual which is great but terrible when you dont know exactly whats being tested. Be prepared to study! You have no clue whats going to be on the practicals/quizzes and he wont bother to tell you whats on there. Just to study every chapter.
I had professor Assad for BSC2085L. I started that class with a different attitude that I left with. Class turnt out to be more fun and interesting than the lecture was.
A LOT of information. Hard to narrow down whats going to be on the test.
Taking him for BSC2085. He doesnt use the textbook but instead gives you a packet which has all the information for the tests. Make sure you're always paying attention and always re-read the packets out of class cus the whole class revolves around the tests based on them. If you dont like studying or tend to miss classes its not the class for you
Extremely difficult more than half of the class either withdrew or audit the course. 5 exams is the only assignments for the course.
He doesnt teach from the book nor does he use power point. He just talks; He goes off topic more than often, your pretty much teaching yourself. Hes very rude, you cant reason with him. Very full of himself, best to take another professor.
Worst professor ever! He doesnt teach . Run!!! I wanted to take the class so bad and did not listen to the previous reviews and now it regret. He gives quizzes at the beginning of the class and doesnt care about any technical issues you may have. You wont even have time to read the exam and time will over.
RUN! This professor is horrible. Exams are based on his LECTURES and handouts, yet he rambles during most of the lecture, the times when he isn't rambling he is moving so fast it's hard to keep up and grasp the concepts. When asked for help or simple accommodation he gets defensive and simple replies "I don't understand, I've taught for 23 years."
Professor makes this class harder than what it is. If youre trying to pass this class, I wouldnt recommend.
