Tests are detailed but fair. He gives out typed notes & test questions come directly from them. Gives reviews before tests. GO. Gives direction there on what to know most for tests. Format is short answer, short essays, multiple choice, fill in the blank. A few short papers but grades generously on them. Very approachable. No extra credit.

mmmmm...easy on the eyes and a nice sense of humor...

Fofi is very tough, he lets everyone know that roughly 50% of his students withdrawl or drop every semester

He's a really cool teacher! He doesn't use the book. His test are short answer and multiple choice. He explains clearly and he's always available to help you. He will tell you what to study before the test so there won't ever be any surprises. He's great!

4.5 stars! Fofi will guide you well, but it's not a free ride. Don't just memorize-it works for Anatomy, but not his Physiology class. Work hard to master the material. Try not to let his good looks distract you ;-) Utilize office hrs/ask meaningful questions/don't waste his or your time whining. So far Fofi's been my fav/best professor--he's fair!

hard but very good, knows his stuff

Fofi is willing to help in any way possible. He actually cares about his students. The material is extensive but if you go into office hours he is more than willing to help. Not to mention the man is a STUD!

For a hard class I never had more fun in my life. He's a great teacher and really knows his biology.

Fofi is usually fun. He gets excited about the important stuff and teaches his material well. His tests are generally relevant and passable. If you study, you can do well. He is available to help when you need him, for the most part, and encourages his students. He has a bit of a temper, so show up to class prepared.

Definitely the toughest class I've ever taken but well worth the work. Must be prepared for class-he WILL call on you. His teaching style is not for everyone. Lectures are interesting and fun but not if the class doesn't seem to be getting it. Good work ethic and study skills are a must to succeed. Best to take this along with non-sciences.

Fofi inspired my love in biology. He challenged me but was never overwhelming. He was pretty much my turning point in college to go a more biology route and I think he's one of the most interesting professors i've taken. Talk with him in class before class and after and he'll throw you a bone when you need one. More of a friend than a teacher

Prof. Fofi was a fun teacher and I had a ton of "aha" moments. Whoever said he has zero teacher skills was probably failing the course. It is not up to the teacher for you to learn. It takes your own effort. I read the syllabus, reviewed the materials, followed his instruction and made an "A" in the class. Simple. And...it was entertaining.

"Major" Fofi knows his stuff. He is very intelligent, and his lectures are well thought out and planned. However, he gets quite upset when students can't answer questions, or when the class does less than spectacular on tests. Proceed with caution...

Five star prof! Eager to help his students learn. Tough subject yet he understands how important knowing it is to any career in health science. Lectures are interesting, PPT presentations are clear & easy to study, and his exams are designed to be straightforward but with an emphasis on critical thinking to ensure that you understand the material.

He's tough but he's intelligent.

Great Teacher!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He knows a lot about the subject, which is good when you want to ask additional questions. Makes the class interesting. BUT his tests are VERY hard, his labs are TRICKY. Beware.

He is abusive in all the good ways. Expect to get called on to answer hard questions in detail every day. If you are looking to really know physiology (which he rightly points out is your duty if going into a health profession) then you should take this class. Even though he seems to yell when he lectures, he definitely cares about your progress.

Busy man who manages to keep it educational, humorous, and engaging. Appreciates those who show they have spent some time learning the material. Don't think that's asking too much! Doesn't show favoritism!! He asks questions at random--no big deal--just try your best to answer. Tests require a certain level of critical thinking. Two thumbs up!

Disappointed. I signed up for this class because of his rep as a strict but good teacher. However...he seemed to have a lot of personal stuff going on in Spring of 2010 (as did I, which led to my getting a B in the class...I don't blame him for my grade.) Fofi was late, unprepared, and seemed distracted. I feel like I got "Fofi Lite."

This man knows his stuff, there's a reason he's head of the biology department. He has high expectations and is a tough grader, so go into his classes expecting to be challenged. He can come off as kind of scary, but he's actually very nice and fair. For those who watch Scrubs, his teaching style is Dr. Cox Lite. He rants because he cares. :)

As with all the Science courses, they are very time consuming and require a lot of study time. I was very pleased with his teaching and very strait forward. He DOES tell you what's on the exams and you must attend every class to succeed. He works hand in hand with the nursing program. Strongly recommend.

This is a hard subject, if you expect easy, you are living in dreamland. This guy is abrasive if you are too sensitive, but knows his stuff. It's no free ride, but he doesn't play favorites, regardless of how "hot" you are.

He is tough, but he is fair. You need to put a lot of study time into this class..definitely not a free ride. Reading the book and using the Interactive CD that comes with the textbook are perfect supplements to his notes. He will basically tell you what essays are going to be on the test. There's no excuse if you study.

Great Teacher. He is not easy but if you spend lots of time studying you will do good. He knows the material and you will learn a lot from him. I highly recommend taking his class!

Great prof! Super fun class but he whips you into shape. It's a good thing. No need to buy textbook.

Great teacher. Easy class. Exams are MC and Short Answer/Drawings/Tables. He tells you exactly what to study. No "gotcha" questions. Extremely helpful and approachable. I made an A in a fast-paced 6 wk summer semester. No textbook needed.

Physiology is an incredibly challenging course, period! Fofi is very knowledgeable & has a passion for this stuff. This class is time consuming & he expects you to read before class...he's BIG on class participation. He's a 25 yr air force vet & treats you like his lil soldiers. He's tough, but helpful (& cute!) lol Good Luck!

This class is very demanding. Fofi organizes the material and presents it in a way that is clear and leaves you knowing where to spend your time studying. Attendance is mandatory to catch what he emphasizes. I recommend recording the lectures. Metric system on every test. He will call on you in class, it sucks at first but gets better.

Ill admit that I didnt like Mr. Fofi while I was in his class, but after getting through it and taking related classes, I realized how good a teacher he really is.Dont expect him to hold your hand throughout the course, he wants YOU to take the time to learn the material. That should be no problem if youre truly interested nursing or related fields

Post-graduation: I have to say that having Prof. Fofi for Physiology helped me immensely in succeeding at nursing school. I graduated with a 3.8 GPA and passed NCLEX in 75 questions with no review class on the first try. Why? Not because I am so smart - because I learned what I needed from his class, and EVERYTHING in nursing school built on it!

Fofi is the best physiology teacher around. His tests are REALLY tough, but fair. If you come to class and listen, you'll know what the essays will be. He's super knowledgeable and really easy to listen to. There're no grades except tests, so studying is VERY important. Notes are posted online, and there is no set book to buy. I never bought one.

Fofi is a good prof. His tests are difficult, but they're fair and he tells you what the essays will be ahead of time. No text book, notes are straight forward and easy to understand. Study before class, he calls on people by name to answer questions at the beginning of each class and has no problems humiliating you if you answer incorrectly.

Dr Fofi is one of the best physiology Professor in ACC,He knows his stuffs well and if you work hard enough you'll have your A,though he appears tough he just want you to know the course.I'll recommend him always and He is so considerate if you are focused.You dont even need a textbook for his class,just study the lecture notes well.i wish you luck

Professor Fofi is amazing! I had him both for Anatomy and Physiology and I recommend him to everyone I know who needs to take this class. His notes are so clear. Just show up to class, pay attention, and study everyday and you will do fine. Its not easy but with him as your instructor, you will survive these courses.

This class is great! Well organized, simple grading structure. Yes, you have to study quite a bit to get an A. Yes, you will be called on to answer questions all semester long. Yes, you MUST attend every class to know what to focus your attention on. If you're confident you can handle all that you'll do fine. Also, Professor Fofi is a great guy!

Take this class seriously—you can't memorize this material, but by working to understand the concepts & connect the dots you can ace the class. Fofi works hard to make an interactive class experience, and he's more than willing to answer tons of ?s and give lots of examples and explanations. You just have to meet him halfway. No spoonfeeding here.

Fofi's class is not hard if you know how to study for it. Don't buy the textbook, just record his lectures and only learn that material, and you will get an A. No papers, no projects, no homework. If you don't know how to enjoy being playfully picked on, avoid this class. He's never mean, and when he prods at you, it means he likes you. Fofi 4eva.

This class was never boring, just be sure to record the lectures. My grades went up significantly whenever I did record the lecture. Study the notes he gives out very thoroughly. The only grades from this class are exams which kind of sucks, but you have plenty of time to study. DO NOT PROCRASTINATE.

Oh Fofi...He is brilliant. So smart. Bottom line is this class is so tough no matter who you take. What I like about Fofi's Physiology is that you only need to print up his notes, no book and do what he says. You will need to study at least 12 hours a week. SERIOUSLY or you will not pass. Fofi is tough but fair and I grew to like him.

He was incredibly clear in terms of what would be on the exams-and everything is practicalapplicable knowledge--STUDY. He is incredibly emphatic about what he wants you to know (I used one color highlighter for class lectures--that he provides an outline for, and one for reviewing while listening, it made studying significantly less taxing).

So good at explaining things simply and applying them to real-life situations. He appreciates participation (in a major way) and wants everyone to do well (if they are clearly trying). Wish I could take him for another class (I had him for anatomy too). Be ready to give up your free time to review, review, review his lectures (and notes)!

Fofi knows his stuff. He's a good guy and wants to see his students succeed, but be prepared to work for it. He will call on you in class, but you'll be better for it in the end. Study hard!

Professor Fofi, pronounced 'Fohfee', is great. He likes to call on students throughout class, which might be intimidating at first but you'll be better off for it. Study the material and be prepared to answer those questions and you should be fine.

Fofi is GREAT The class itself is hard but he is very clear about what is on the tests. If you record the lectures and put in the work you will get an A. Metric Conversions on all his tests but they are not that difficult. His tests are analytical, you cannot just memorize and regurgitate you must be able to understand the concepts. TAKE FOFI

Fofi is a tough professor, but super straightforward in his lectures and exams. He provides notes, which is awesome! I recorded his lectures and combined that with his notes and studied my butt off. He won't coddle you, and isn't for the faint of heart. But he will teach you exactly what you need to know!

Truly an amazing professor and class! He is very direct on what you need to know and what you don't (mark on the notes provided what slides he covers ((know all the material on that slide)) and what slides he doesn't). He makes the class extremely engaging with both the real world examples he provides and with his outgoing personality. TAKE HIM!

Overall I liked Fofi. He's straight forward on what you need to know. He knows his stuff, and is clear about the points hes trying to make. It pays to be on his good side. He's not big on reexplaining things if he's already covered it. He expects you to know basics. He expects you to figure out the labs on your own.

Show up to class and TAKE NOTES! His tests are based off of his lecture and not the book so you dont need to buy a book. He will tell you what he wants you to know/ what will be on the test, so pay attention! His test are fairly challenging because it requires critical thinking- you either know it or you dont. Def prepares you for Nursing!

Let me just say, if you are not willing to spend at least 3 hours a day outside of class studying, then don't take this class. With that being said, Professor Fofi is honestly one of the best teachers and mentors I've ever had. He really cares for his students' success, but expects you to make an effort - he doesn't spoon feed anyone.

One of the best professors I've ever had, but you'll have to work hard to make an A. Best advice is to record his lectures and listen to them at least 2 more times each, you'll pick up on new things each time. He forces you to understand the concepts instead of just memorizing things. You will ACTUALLY learn!

Professor Fofi has been by far one of the best professors I have taken at ACC. I took him for both A&P 1 and 2. Grades are solely based on exams and lab practicals, no homework or extra credit outside of exams. He truly cares for his students and wants them to be prepared for their careers in healthcare. You will learn in his class!

Fofi is one of my favorites! It's a tough class & you really have to work for your grade, but it pays off. His main focus is preparing you for your career so he emphasizes the things that will be most applicable & useful in the medical field. He's very passionate & loves to teach!! Take some time to get to know him, he has a lot of good experience!

Best professor I've had! Won't hand hold but makes it easy to learn if you are willing to put in some effort. Exams only. He's a really cool guy with an awesome background that he relates to the material making it more exciting to learn. Asks questions directly in class (terrifying I know) after a few, nerves are gone and it's incredibly beneficial

Fofi is really tough, but he genuinely wants you to succeed in your program and will give you the tools you need to do so. He uses his life experiences as examples to help you better understand the concepts. He absolutely loves when you ask questions and engage during his lectures. He will go beyond to help anyone that puts the efforts in.

great professor! would definitely take him again! makes lecture very engaging, always involves students and examples. he points out and asks questions but this makes you come prepared to class! make sure you review all the material after each class to keep up and understand, or next class you can bring it up and he can explain. test are not bad!

Fofi is a great professor. He will ensure you understand the material, not just be able to regurgitate it on a test. The information is difficult, he will challenge you and make you think critically, but as a prerequisite to most medical professions youll be better off for it. I feel very confident in my understanding of the fundamentals. Thanks!

Dr. Fofi has been one of the best science professors I've had in years. His lectures are very informative - he cuts the crap and tells you exactly what he expects from you but he's also very entertaining! Anatomy has been one of the most challenging classes for me due to the sheer amount of memorization needed but it was a great experience overall.

Tough professor but great class if you want to really learn A & P. Exams are straight from lectures and he tells you exactly what is coming. 4 exams,1 final, and 10 module quizzes. There is no homework. Overall, loved his class.

The exams are physiology-based, and the lab practicals are anatomy-labelling-based. Attendance is highly encouraged so that he has people to ask questions. He's a very straight forward professor and as long as you study the slides that he tells you to study, you will make an A.

YOU WILL HAVE TO STUDY AND WORK HARD, BUT THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST AMAZING PROFESSORS YOU WILL HAVE. EXPLAINS EVERYTHING IN TERMS THAT YOU CAN ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND. NO HOMEWORK, ONLY TESTS. I LOVED THIS COURSE

Fofi makes you work for it, but in the best way possible. You'll really learn from him. If you're a bad test taker however I wouldn't recommend him because you're graded solely on tests.

Professor Fofi is challenging but fair. In other words if you're serious about applying for a Health & Medical program, Professor Fofi will prepare you for that program. He emphasizes what you need to know for upcoming tests during lectures and gives reviews the class before each test. If you show up and study, you will do fine in his class.

Professor Fofi , came off as a jerk at first , but once you get to know his personality , he is a really really amazing person and professor , he really cares about his students on being successful . If you participate in class you'll pass with an easy A+.

Took Fofi for a 5-week summer session. All exam material is provided during lecture and he tells you EVERYTHING. His exams are all short answers but very straightforward. Easy grader. Although Prof Fofi has a personality that most will find eyeroll-worthy, it's really not that bad. Your grade is solely based on tests. So bad test taker=bad grade.

I had a great experience in this course. If you pay attention and put in the study time, you'll do great. If you don't, then you won't. Though he does literally tell you 100% of what to expect on your exam during lecture, just attending lecture isn't enough. You will have to actually study outside of class to do well (...it's college y'all..).

Professor Fofi is extremely competent and good at what he does. He tells you exactly what you need to know for the tests and as long as you take good notes and review the material before each lecture, you'll do fine. Don't be intimidated by some of the other reviews, Fofi is a kind man and he wants all of his students to succeed.

I took Fofi for a paired online class for A & P I and Biology fundamentals because I was unable to pass the pre test for A & P I. Test heavy, but there were many tests, it wasn't just based on a few scores. This Professor uses real world examples. Friendly banter - which isn't for all- I highly recommend this Professor for this class.

Online class, he's very knowledgeable and gives excellent examples. He may come off as harsh but he's very caring and works w/ students to accommodate their needs. Participate!!! Lets you know what to study for tests. The lectures were fast, so study!! Multiple tests/exams w/ mc & short essay Q's. I had a great time taking this course.

Fofi is a great Professor w/ a quirky personality so don't take everything too personal. No "homework" so def. study recorded lectures & lab videos. Grades consist of multiple tests that are MC & short essay Q's. Accommodates student's needs. Ask Questions & PARTICIPATE!! I enjoyed taking this course! IT was fun & interesting.

Everyone saying he is a hard/terrible professor clearly did not put the effort in. Its anatomy yall, you're gonna have to put the work in and study. If he asks a question in class, write it down because it will likely be on the test. Once you learn his quirky personality, you will see he cares about his students. Will be taking him again for A&P2

Great professor! Attendance is not mandatory but can count as extra credit.

His class isnt hard if you show up and pay attention. Attendance isnt mandatory but I recommend going cause he goes over a lot in just a day. He will literally tell you what is on the test so you can be prepared. He does come off as a little rude but once you get to know him hes pretty chill. Grade is based off lecture exams and lab practicals.

Took him online during the summer, exams are timed, not proctored, but you WILL NOT have time to search around, make sure you at least know what its asking. During lectures he lets you know what questions are asked and will tell you which slides to absolutely know for the lab practical. Taking him for a&p II and its the same.

Fofi is a very tough grader, and doesn't respond to emails, he will give half a point for attending lecture. There r 4 exams with 4 labs, they r open notes but exams and practicals are timed so you will NOT have time to look everything up. I studied about 4 hours a day outside of class and barely got an A. He is hard but you will learn the material

I took him for both A&P I and II and he was great. He is blunt but you can't let that stop you from participating. No homework, grade is made up of exams and lab practicals. PAY ATTENTION, he will tell you what is on the exam its up to you to study. This class is just the beginning for most healthcare programs, so toughen up. You got this.

Professor Fofi tells you exactly what you need to know for the exams. Beyond his tough exterior, I do believe he is a knowledgeable and an excellent professor. There are no other assignments outside of the lecture and lab practical exams. Set aside time to study the material throughout the week, go to lecture and you should be fine!

Professor Fofi's A&P class is straightforward if you put in the work. His quirky personality takes some getting used to, but he cares about student learning. Attending lectures helps, as he guides you on what to focus on. Unstuck AI was a great study aid alongside the course materials.

I read a review that said you just have to put in the work, and it was true. He's laid-back, understanding, and clear. No quizzes or homework, just lectures and tests. He literally gives you the answers—just pay attention. If you communicate and stay on top of things, you'll pass. Highly recommend!

One of the best professors I've had. Straightforward and to the point. No busywork—no quizzes, no homework. You do need to take initiative and communicate. His tests are fair and if you pay attention, you'll be fine. Not an “easy A,” but definitely a great class. Passed with an A and no complaints!

His lectures were thorough and he emphasized what was most important for the test. Overall a good professor but my only complaint was the long wait for the grades to be posted.

He is a great professor as long as you go to class all the test will make sense although attendance isn't mandatory it's good to go to his class he goes into detail a bit more about the PowerPoints
