THE SWEESTEST PROFESSOR YOU WILL EVER HAVE!!! he is so understanding and flexible not to mention that the practicum's and quizzes are a breeze, whatever he covers is what will be asked of you on the tests.. He genuinely wants you to succeed in his class. He reviews right before the quiz and the class before the practicum. MUST go to class though!

You said: I didn't learn anything. I think that even a student with a low IQ will learn a lot with Prof. Hoyo, because of his good style of teaching and motivating us to study hard. He is extremely clear and an experimented pathologist and links anatomy and physiol. with the diseases. He knows about diversity and how to be focused on our needs.

Being a sweet and understanding person does NOT make you a great teacher. Doesn't actually teach anything, just uses slides and videos that have been outdated for 20 years. Has a wealth of knowledge and no understanding of how to share it with his students! You have to learn from the book, not him. DON'T take him if you need to learn Biology.

Really great guy. No book needed, everything is in the powerpoint that he provides. Doesn't speak very clear, and all exams have a second half done through powerpoint where he points to the questions with a laser.. he goes fast but if you miss something he will help you out. Cares about you and your grade, genuine. Much respect for him. STUDY!!!

Professor Hoyo is hands down the best professor i have ever had. He explains the material incredibly well and explains it to you until you understand it. Pay attention to his lecture and his review at the end of each class, it'll help you a lot for the practicums. He is the most caring and thoughtful professor I've met. Take him and respect him.

Professor Hoyo is without doubt the greatest professor ever. He truly cares about his students. I took him for Anatomy I and II and passed both with an A. He provides all the information you need for the quizzes and Practical on his Power Points.

Dr. Hoyo is a great professor. He really cares for his students and tries to make sure the class understands the importance of Anatomy for our future path in the healthcare field. I am taking Dr. Hoyo for BSC 2086L, he is the first professor that I signed up to take another class with. Take him and if you need help, ask him for help.

He is sooo easy. I take him for Lab and all you need to do is print out the PPT that he is lecturing that day and highlight the things that he tells you to remember for the test. HE gives 3 quizzes and 3 tests, and if you are struggling in his class just talk to him and he'll try his best to help you out, he cares about his students. Take him!

Professor Hoyo, is an incredible professor for BSC2086L. He uses the powerpoints as lecture and mentions which powerpoints are very important for the exam. There are 3 practicums and 4 quizzes. He also gives 2 mini homework assignments that are very easy to do. He is very kind and truly cares for his students. Highly recommend this professor!!

He is a very caring individual but he does not explain what will be on exams and basically you must memorize everything. As far as the format for his exams hes really not specific in what he's doing. He talks a lot mainly on personal life and issues. Best thing to do if you get stuck in his class is to team up with other students and study.

If you study for the class like you should for any other class you will pass. However, professor hoyo can be extremely rude. Nothing was explained in depth he just got through the powerpoints and that was it. I got an A because I studied. I learned more from my lecture professor.

If you are good memorizing stuff take this class, if not, look for another professor, because this class is basically memorizing everything of the powerpoint. He tells you what to memorize for the test, but its a lot. The first Pratica is the easiest one, try to get a good grade on that one because the second practica is the hardest.

Prof Hoyo is an ok professor, he is sweet but he does have a thick accent that makes things hard to understand sometimes which is difficult with anatomical terms. He doesn't really tell you what you need to know on the test and often picks the most random, insignificant part of the model to identify during practicums so really study them.

Professor Hoyo is a really good professor, quizzes every 3 weeks, 3 practicums and the easiest of homeworks!! A little messy but you can manage to make sense out of it.

First of all, you can't miss class because he tells you what he will test on, you won't have to buy a book he gives you the powerpoints with are the best in the school. For those that are having a hard time in the class keep in mind that you need to know this stuff its not like the Pythagorean theorem
