kool dude BUT hissitting right now trying to put together his notes he gave us damn. He gives keywords first then tells us what they mean like NO tell me what they mean then use em lol. english a lil bad otherwise VERY kool guy for this class u gotta BUST ass study attendance is college mandatory but he say if u like this class youll show up .
Professor is a nice guy, but he you really have to study for exams, and you need to pay attention to very LITTLE DETAIL. The way his exams are worded are tricky not the content. He's always avaliable on his office hours to help. He doesn't respond to his emails, so dont bother. He's exam are strickly off his power points,no txtbook needed!
I enjoyed his class. He wants to help you and he's tells us what to study for the exam. He's very nice and always willing to help. He has little accent, but if you know the term, you will get it. I liked his class!
I liked his class!
Dr. Javdan Is an amazing professor. I had him for both A&P1 & 2. He is very knowledgable of the subject and he's always willing to help. His test are right out of his power points and he speaks very clearly. He will go over things until the class understands it. He is a true asset to Queensborough. I wish I cold take him again for Micro. Jacqueline
I had professor Javdan for BI301 which i could have him for 302.very understanding professor always willing to help.
Had him for lec. Really nice professor and is always willing to help. I hear horrible stories about prof. that are nasty to their students when they ask questions. PROF JAVDAN IS NOT ONE OF THOSE. He is so understanding on how tough A&P can be. He does have a little bit of an accent but it doesn't hinder his great teach skills and kindness.
Javdan is a nice person but I wouldn't recommend him for a teacher. Hes lectures are all over the place and its hard to understand him. He also gives out a study guide, but they are of no help.You have a study guide of 65 ques & he will only put 5 on the exam. I did well in in his class but was due to self teaching.
obviously, you have to STUDY hard for a&p. he takes attendance for every class. I think he explains well and much easier than other a&p profs. and complete the review sheet before your exam! it helps you a lot. and he understands of absences if its reasonable. Take Him! he has an accent but its fine.
good professor however you have to study VERY hard. his review sheets are just to give an idea of what will be on the test, your best bet will be to actually memorize and understand every single slide he gives. i followed the review sheet the first time, got a 76. other times i memorized everything got a 90,96,100. he truly cares about his students
He is such a sweet nice man!I really did love his lecture class this summer:)Yes, he does have a strong accent, but he is always willing to help and answer questions.About his review sheets-you HAVE to be thorough!He provides you with questions on them,but you better know EVERYTHING about that question.So basically MEMORIZE all the slides!No joke
I was worried about taking an intensive summer class but he really did help and lessen the stress and burden. Very straight forward and general exams that come out of the PowerPoint. The only issue I had was sometimes his written grammar is confusing. Very helpful, friendly, respectful, experienced. Take him! Cheers!
Great professor! I took 301 during the summer and even though it was pretty intense Prof Javdan made it as easy as possible for students. Definitely would recommend him!
He's a great professor. Great sense of humor, always smiling and one of the few professors that says hi when you greet him. He taught medical interns on anatomy for over 10 years and has been a Dr. longer. He knows his stuff and is very fair. Take him, take him, take him!!
Not a terrible teach, but I wasn't a fan. His lectures can be boring, but they are important. You can technically get away with studying from the power points, but I definitely needed to read the text. I just used his power points as a reference as to what to read and study from the text. Otherwise, he was ok. There's also alot to memorize. Study!!
Professor Javdan is a very good Professor, he explains the material until you understand. He goes above and beyond for his students , he's an assets to QCC. Definitely you have to study , his study guide helps but read, read and read!
Great prof. Always available to answer any questions. His lectures are long but important for those going into the health field. The study guides are a big help, a majority of the list are on the exams with a few that you have to pay attention in lecture to know. highly recommended!
Great A&P II lab professor. He is very helpful and will go over the material as many times as you need. His lectures tend to be a little long in the beginning but it's helpful. His exams are easy. He goes over everything you need to know. Does study guides but they aren't worth going over. You don't need any of the lab books.
I had him for A&P 1 Lab over the summer. He explains and shows you everything you need to know for the tests. Make sure you make a video of him doing it because he will only do it once. He even goes through the answers to the test after its done so you have some idea of the grade you got. His lectures may be boring but he is a great professor!
He is pretty clear for the most part. The best part of his class is the review sheets and unlimited access to his slides online. You can use those to review and you'll be alright. I only got a C+ but its honestly better than I thought I did. He wants you to pass. Humble guy.
Amazing professor, Truly cares for the students. Even though he gives powerpoint, i strongly recommend still reading the textbook. First exam i got an 80 because i only studied the slides, when i read the textbook and slides i got 98, 90, 94 following exams. He even adds 1 point to your overall grade. isn't tricky like most professors are.
He is very strict professor, his class is tough, it's hard to understand. I took bi 301, there are 4 exams. He gave study guides more than 70 questions, but there are not helpful, only 10 questions on the exam. Tough grade, no curve, no extra credit, do not be late, even 2 minutes.
Gives 70-80 questions for study guide and about 5-10 comes on the exam
I had Professor Javan for A&P302 Lab, very caring & cool, patient, you have to study the models, microscope slides, and it's beneficial to go to the Learning Center to practice on the models. Fair grader, 50 questions, no multiple choice, 4 exams for the entire semester. Study & ask questions in lab and you'll be fine. Great Professor!
I had Prof. Javan for 302 lab and he was amazing, his exams are straight forward, comes directly from his study guide. He is not critical on spelling. Fair grader, will give you what you deserve. QCC can definitely benefit from having more professors like him. Take him and you won't regret!1
Prof. Javdan is a great instructor. He makes lab fun and interesting. It's true, he has patience with his students. He teaches students, he doesn't just force the curriculum for the semester on you. He makes sure that you are fully prepared as a health science student for the medical field. Highly recommended!
I took BI 301 and 302 Lecture,Lab. He is an amazing professor. He is really student centered professor. Well prepared PPT, study guides for exams, and many things to thumb UP ! Highly recommended.
He is great professor. He understand what we need things.
Prof. Javdan is an amazing professor; he makes the class interesting, not an average boring bio teacher. I had him for bio 302 lecture and lab, and would definitely recommend him.
not a good lecture professor. He gives a study guide and puts 3 questions from it on the exam. The best score in his class among my peers and I was an 85. his test are not written in proper english and he paces the isles during exams which gives me anxiety. His analogies make no sense. Also he is not clear on what you need to know for the exam.
DO NOT TAKE HORRIBLE for lecture!!
Great lecture professor! he prepares power-point slides and goes over them in class. Also, he gives review sheets and tells you what you need to remember for the exam
Professor Dr. Javdan is a highly prepared professor. The class is hard, lectures are heavy and labs are detailed. Dr. Javdan does his best to simplify the material in the lectures and is straight forward in labs. Pay attention to him and never miss the class. Very good experience working with him for Anatomy and Physiology.
Professor Javdan is a highly respected professor for A&P. The class is hard, heavy lectures and detailed lab. He will simplify the lectures and is straight forward in lab. Gives some extra credit for those who participate regularly. Fair grader. Very professional.
Best lecture professor ever had, he gives very useful study guide. Lectures are detailed but Dr. Javdan simplifies the material with best examples. If you have planned to go to nursing program take him.
Javdan is a great professor, if you are going into medicine. Otherwise i'd advise taking the class with a different professor. The slides which he gives you contain exactly what will be on his exams, but that doesn't necessarily make it easy. Again, he's great but be prepared to put in the work. He's willing to help.
Dr. Javdan is the best A and P Professor at QCC. He cares about his students and he helps them in whatever way he can. I look forward to his class every week. He is a real gem, take him you won't regret it!!!
Dr. Javdan is very nice and cares about his students. If you have any problems understanding anything he will go over it with you after class if there's time and during office hours. Lab is straight forward and fun and he gives review sheets and if you Study the models the test is easy. But LECTURE is boring and long and the test are hard! STUDY!
Took Professor Javdan for A&P I Lab. He simplifies topics down and provides real life examples relating to the anatomy. He comes from a professional medical background and is very knowledgeable about anatomy. His powerpoints are labelled well and help you study for the practicals. A good solid choice for anatomy lab.
Best professor ever had clear lecture , study guide fair grading.
Professor Mohammad Javdan is amazing. I love the way he teach. He use power point but he always draw and write on the board to explain the power point. He take attendance all the time. He give review sheet out for each exam. His exam questions is fair enough if you study the material he teach on the class.
Best professor of A&P in QCC
Dr. Javdan is very good teacher at explaining the material, but his grading system is flawed to certain degree! My issue with professors is when they say for example A-M will be on the exam, and you see O-V instead. Id rather a professor say read everything instead of misleading us. Is like shooting darts with a blindfold, and this happens a lot.
Professor Javdan is probably the best in the science department, he explains the material in depth and posts his slides on Blackbaord so you can study from it and not have to use the textbook. Had him for both lab and lecture and very grateful for it too, I would reccomend this professor he cares for the students and their grades.
He is my favorite professor in qcc He taught A&P every detail and personally, I think he is knowledgeable than others. I had him for 2 great semesters(301&302 lec&lab). His test was hard but It was a pleasure being in his class. He is an amazing educator, I have learned so much! The class hours are long, but he is always kind and understanding.
Love him so much. I love the way he teach. The lecture is heavy but he gives us very detail understanding. He makes classes very fun and very willing to help us to solve problem. It was a pleasure to have class with him for both BI301 and BI302(lec&lab). Take him he is the best .
I took Professor Javdan for both BI301 (lab and lecture) and BI302 (lecture only) and I thought he was great. His slides are extremely helpful and are basically all you need to study for a test. Didn't even open my textbook once. Although his notes are extensively detailed, he is a fair grader and even gave us "pop quizzes" for extra points.
Dr. Javdan is a real gem!! After two semesters of class, I learned a lot. God I wish I can take his class in every biology course but I can't go back. Sad but true. MISS HIS CLASS ALREADY.
He misleads students by lying about what material will actually be on his exams. Only take this course if you are willing to teach yourself. His analogies make no sense. Teaching does not best suit him. The classes preceding an exam he will just move onto a new subject matter instead of ever reviewing. His students have no voice!
Took him for BIO301 lec and he's not a great lecturer. He's monotone and his examples doesn't make sense at times. I wasn't prepared for the final because there were a lot of questions in the final that he did not go over in class. You'll need coffee to not fall asleep and definitely need to study to pass.
Hes a great professor his lecture is good and he gives a review sheet for his exams.
In lecture he does a mini review of each slide so you can understand everything you just learned, this helps for the exam too, He is pretty straightforward you can ask him anything at any time hes willing to help and clarify things for you, there is no extra credit but he does give us review, slides and tells us what we should know for the exams
If you record this professor be aware he does have an accent so on record things may not sound right, in person the accent is fine. Overall hes a good professor he truly makes you understand the overall message of each slide for you to know for exams.
He gets straight to the point and is very clear, not like the other professors who are wordy with their lectures and he gives review sheets for exams a week before which helps a lot.
if he lets you record him explaining the models (he might not), do it and study the for the tests base on it as well as the review sheet he gives out. Each questions on his tests are timed and you can't go back to a station making it difficult if you don't know the material well. overall he's okay. If he's your only choice it's not the end of world
i had him for lab and really didnt like him. a lot of people are saying hes amazing but for lab he was never clear on what he wanted you to know. he didnt let you record him while he goes over the models. he gave you a study guide but it was never accurate because there was a bunch of questions on the test that was never on the study guide.
Please DO NOT take this prof! He is absolutely terrible. So many students that I know took the same time as I did and felt the same way. U would believe getting a review sheet would be useful for his exam that just makes it worst. He tricks u not by being specific on what hes asking. Simply does NOT care if u pass or NOT! Beware
What a horrible experience being in his class. Trust me when I say everyone is right when they said he does not allow u to record him. Hes review sheets does not follow what will be on the exam and really do not care if u pass or not. He just go through the slides and thats it! Dont set yourself up for failure!
Worst decision taking this prof. Makes AP so difficult for his students to do well!!! Review sheet does not match the exams and expect u to know everything. He also does not all students to record him in class no take videos. Just save yourself and take someone else!
Had Prof. Javdan for AP 2 for both lecture and lab. He explains very well and presents the material in a simplified and intuitive manner. He used to teach in medical school and he is very knowledgeable in his subject. Study from his power points, take good notes! (essential information for tests) and show interest. He is a cool prof!
he's a GREAT professor and i have no bad things to say about him. however, he is a tougher professor than other a&p professors and you'll have to work harder if you take him. This builds a good foundation for the future though so it may be for the best.
Pro. Javdan is a wonderful professor. Study hard and you will pass, he is very understanding and try his best to work with you if you have any difficulties in this subject.
What an awful prof. His exams doesnt match his review sheet and I only got a good grade because of my lec! Hes the worst, heavy lec, he rushes through the slides and really doesnt care for his student. Ive seen so many students struggle in his exam and I just had to write a review about him!
Absolutely ridiculous with his lab exams. With the pandemic going on, he severely cut down the time you would get for the exam, usually 1 hour (other professors give 1+ hours) to only 35 minutes but gives you all 50 questions still. Last exam not one student had enough time and told him and he hasn't changed anything. Take someone else
So worried about cheating on online exams but sets students up to fail by giving them too little time or a terrible format. Has not helped adjust to distanced learning and has not been understanding. I have more stress doing this at home than in the lab
I've seen previous reviews about the prof. not giving enough time for the exams. Although this is true, Prof. Javdan was kind enough to let me make up for the questions that I have missed. As long as you reach out to him, he will try to accommodate to you. A&P is generally a hard course itself. It is a class you have to study for regardless.
DO NOT under any circumstances take this professor for lab, he doesnt care for his students grade or how hard they work. Hes exam study sheets has nothing to do with some portion of the exams so it is basically a waste of time since you arent that aware whats actually on the exam. His online exams are horrendous during the pandemic.
Please save yourself from this professor, he is just very bad at teaching, I dont understand why his class is so confusing, and why other students are confused to, his review sheets have nothing to do with the exam he gives, he rushes through everything and really do no care about his students at all, do not take his class especially lab,
Be taking the W soon. Horrible class, difficult exams, and not enough time for the exam questions. The class is much harder online. Only take this if you are passionate about Nursing or P.A. You WILL FAIL.
He is very bad at teaching. Difficult exams. He uses different models in his labs and exams, which is so confusing. He gives review sheets but they won't help you.
Really difficult exams. I'm thinking of dropping this class soon. I am going to fail because the exams are too difficult. It needs to be easier. At least he can do is round up or curve the exam grade!
I cant say it is not a good teacher. Even though I know his exams are very tricky, and he doesnt give enough time. Although, he is a great teacher. It was too late when I finally got the way he gave his exams. He always gave us outline for the exams. I definitely want him as my Professor lab again.
Great prof. Exams based on everything he taught. Received this grade due to lecture.
his exam and study sheet do not cover his lecture. He does not give any feedback about the exam, the grades do not show up right the away after the exam. That makes me doubt about the grade. Even though you email him about it, he does not email you back about it.
Professor Javdan Is not an easy professor however you will learn greatly in his class, I'm almost done with the semester and I have to say he was my favorite professor thus far, he will make you work for it but if you show the effort you will definitely pass. Gives a thorough review sheet before tests.
He gives you some extra credit to boost your grade but youre mainly just taking exams from him. His exams are on the harder side and theyre timed which sometimes he doesnt give enough time and you cant go back to any questions ! He is a fair explainer
This professor was great! When I first enrolled I was discouraged based upon some reviews. From my experience he is very fair with his teaching, BIO302 isn't a easy course so you have to put in the work. Make sure you record lectures and demonstrations and use his study guides! It is very helpful, I say dedicate a week to studying before any exam!
just make sure you are actively paying attention in his course and study/memorize the powerpoints. he is really caring and offers extra credit if you are struggling, especially since his exams are somewhat difficult. he also responds fast to his emails. he is a good professor.
The lectures were a little dry but I could tell that Dr. Javdan did his best to make the material fun. He provides peripheral information to help students understand things better. I had an amazing time in his class and would love to be his student again.
Definitely recommend Dr. Javdan. He is a great lecturer, very thorough, and explains exactly what you need to know for the exam. He uses the models in class and goes over them very thoroughly multiple times. If you just study exactly what he says in class, you will do well on the tests. He gives a lot of extra credit for each exam as well.
Professor Javdan was one of the best professors I've had in my entire college career. He is incredibly caring and above all, knowledgable on the subject of Biology. I was eager to go to class every week just to hear him speak; his lectures were so informative and directly related to exams. Gave so much extra credit. A true class act in teaching!
he is honestly so nice and always willing to explain anything you are not clear on. exams are a bit tricky so read through all questions carefully. do not listen to the negative reviews, those people did not study for the class or studied last minute. it is really easy to do well in his class, just set aside time to review daily
Dr. Javdan is the best professor for Lab. He gave so much extra credit so you know he is always caring for his students and wants to help them. His study guides are detailed and helpful. Take him for lab!
Recommend recording when he goes over different models bc he has an accent and talks softly. Study guides are provided but what's tested is really what he explains during class. Only 4 exams, some extra credit opportunities. Have to purchase connect for the lab assignments hw. Not great at responding to emails, best to ask him directly.
don't recommend for lecture, actual exam questions were harder than study guides. he makes his own exam questions and u don't get the exam back after its graded. only 4 exams, no dropping lowest grade. lectures are very long and can be dry, ppts often have over 50 slides. he talks fast so try to sit in the front and record lectures.
Took him for A&P 1 & 2 lec and he is truly a gem. Exams are a bit tricky but he explains the questions better if you ask for his help! Exam q's reflect the slide contents/taught material, no surprises. Explains info well, responds to emails in a timely fashion, provides study guides, and extra credit opportunities. I wish he taught other classes
I took his lab BI301 class which was a disaster,he wants us to learn a lot of information for tests. I ended up dropping his class. The next professor I got gives the same tests but with divided topics and not all the topics at the same time. I don't recommend this professor at all.
Prof Javdan doesn't use the textbook, he teaches off his slides but it's too much information. He doesn't use his own study guides and he often hyper focuses on a topic in class that isn't on the exam. He's very strict. His lab exams are timed. His extra credit is only 1-2 points per exam. I do not recommend this professor at all.
I had him for BI 301 LAB and made sure he was the prof. for BI 302 LEC. If you have any questions or need review he is more than willing to help, his tests are very fair and straightforward. He gives opportunities for EC, usually around 4 but upto 8 points towards exams. Great professor, very passionate and cares about students.
I took BI 302 with Dr Javdan on Summer semester. I like his professional ethic from in term of teaching. He is informative, prepared, and responsive. This class is rewarding because the professor does not skip a single chapter in the syllabus. You will learn a lot throughout the semester.
Really great professor. AP is just a hard class and need to be ready to study. PowerPoint and demonstrations in lab are very straight forward and clear. Would definitely take again
He is an incredible teacher.He is patient and always strives for his students to learn in the best possible way. He is very clear in his instructions and always points out what is important to know for his exams. He offers concrete study guides. Don't listen to the bad comments. Professor Javdan is an incredible teacher.
The best biology professor explains hard A&P material in straightforward language with many examples. He is very patient with students, gives study guides and extra credit quizzes, and answers all hard questions right away. He is a very knowledgeable professor. Lucky to have him.
He is the best professor for a&p lab. Just take him and you won't regret. He gives extra credit for every exam, explains really well. His labs are the best. I wish he taught 302 lab too. He is caring, respected towards the students
Dr. Javdan is a great professor, he knows how to actually lecture well & describe material to students. Dr. Javdan is a serious Professor but cares about his students. Gives study guides, lots of clinical example which helps the future courier if you have a plan to go to the health care field. Very nice and patient.
This professor is incredibly nice and caring. He teaches the material effectively and is very informative, offering great support to his students. His class is enjoyable.
He is the best anatomy and physiology professor in QCC. I wish I had him for 301; he is very knowledgeable and clear in explaining the material, very patient with students, and answers all the questions. Unfortunately, he doesn't teach microbiology.
All is good! This professor rocks.
I honestly can say that he is an extraordinary Professor Javdan. It is alot of information to study for each exam, but keep in mind, that this session is a Summer 2025 session shorter than a regular semester. Listen careful to his lectures, he will tell you "study this, this will be on your exam". Great PowerPoint slides.
Prof. Javdan is one of the best professors I've had. AP1 is fast-paced and info-heavy, but he explains concepts clearly and uses real-life examples that help things stick. AP1 is really hard, but as long as you pay attention in class, review the PowerPoints, and use the study guide, you'll be fine. I wish I got into his 302 class!
Prof. Javdan is an amazing professor! As long as you pay attention in class, review slides and study guides, you will do good. He gives extra credit before every exam & tells you exactly what will be on the exam! (Literally will say, "this will be on exam, this is important to memorize) He is an absolute rockstar of a professor!
Will definitely take Dr JAVARD
He was an amazing professor. So clear and make this course truly so much more easy to comprehend.
The professor's demonstrated a strong understanding of the subject matter and explains complex concepts clearly. His teaching style was engaging and effective. He uses variety of methods to provide different learning styles. The course was well structured with clear objectives and materials and resources readily available. Professor Javdan is good!
He's actually a pretty good teacher I was scared when I took his class because his rating was 3.8 but he's actually not a bad teacher and he's very knowledge on what he's teacher I actually enjoyed his class
Great professor God bless you Dr. Mohammad Javdan.
He is an incredible teacher; he was my teacher for BI 301, and I learned a lot from him. His lab sessions are very informative and always give us a summary after each topic, and he lets us record while he is explaining, if we want to study it later. Prof. Javdan is one of the best BI301 and 302 professors. I totally recommend him.
Great professor, there is a reason there are 60 5 star reviews on this man. He is awesome, take the class he lets you record the models as he explains every possible question he can ask you, as well he posts a study guide. One of the best professors i've had, very caring and very very fair! PS. if you fail his class you are an awful student.
