The best teacher ever..very friendly
one of the coolest teachers ever and one of the funniest guys....very helpful
Energetic: taken for 5 hour pre-session class..he will hold your attention the whole time. Very helpful and has a good rapport with students.
Best professior ever..so nice and helpful
Extremely nice and helpful professor. Would recommend him to anyone!
Can Keep My Attention and help me understand, which are both hard tasks when it comes to science.
Awesome teacher and a great guy!!!!!
Probably the greatest man alive!!! He is genuinely concerned about his students, and will be there if you need help!!!! Other teachers need to learn a lesson from him!!!!!!!
Pekala rocks!! Take him if you can, I still remeber alot of it. Excellent teacher
Great Techer for such a hard class....very helpful...TAKE HIM!
Very nice person, very helpful. Attempts to make funny jokes which aren't funny, and he knows it too. Its good to lighten the mood in the class room. Know your movie trivia, he makes references to movies. Example, Boy in The Bubble with John Travolta.
Took this class 5 years ago & it still has an impact. He has a teaching style that makes it obvious he enjoys what he is doing. He is also very easy on the eyes!!
Pekala is the best professor ever. Even in a lecture class of over 70 people, if you go up to ask him a question he will help you out and give you special attention. He handed out review sheets before each test and was extrememly clear - i loved him!
He is the type of professor that really cares about the students learning experience. He also is a great teacher overall. He positively impacted my college education.
awesome professor
He's one of the best professors ever!!! He's funny and quirky but boy can he teach. Anybody that needs or wants to take anatomy, make sure you get him as your teacher. He's also very cute!
great
An amazing teacher. If you have the chance to get him, take it. You will learn SO much, and its a fun class. Hmmm...a professor that makes lectures interesting....you don't get that everyday.
Great teacher! Really nice guy! Deff. take him!!
I LOVE PEKALA! He is the best professor ever. I am going to miss his class even though it was the hardest one I had to take. TAKE HIM!!!!
pekala is the best. i was considering putting myself through ANOTHER anatomy course just to see him three times a week. he is very helpful...and he manages to be a great professor, while keeping class interesting.also, many extra credit opportunities!
Great professor. GET A TUTOR!
I LOVED THIS MAN AND HIS CLASS!!! HE WILL HELP HIS STUDENTS IN ANY WAY HE CAN!!! TAKE HIM AND YOU WILL WANT TO GET UP TO GO TO CLASS
PEKALA IS GOD!!! I LOVE HIM. TAKE HIM IF YOU WANT TO LEARN SOMETHING.
best professor i ever had
He knows his stuff.....
CALL HIM HOTTY PEKALA.. he likes it! THEE best teacher ever! MmMtzzMmM!
He is a great teacher and speaks very clearly! Will take time to help you, if needed. You don't really need the text, but need to go to class and take notes!
He is an awesome professor. You get no quizzes. You get points on your test for going to class. And make notecards..they help.Overall pekala is an outstanding teacher!!
Pekala is an excellent teacher. Attendence cards are passed out weekly, so go to class. He curves test grades. It's not an easy class, but he makes it fun. If your not doing well, much sure you go and talk to him. He'll help you out!! Great guy! A++
he is really nice and funny but hard...i took him 3 years ago and the class was so hard i got a D and my friend failed... what did me in was the lab....do well in lab....he is a good lab professor but i didnt have him
I love Pekala!! I hated Anatomy in high school and he made me like it in college. Definitely try and get in his class!
Pekala... you are one super hottie. You rock my world. Wish I could take anatomy every semester! I love you! Just kidding! No I'm not! Yes I am! Haha, no really - take his class. He's a great professor and curves his tests with attendance! Sternocleidmastoid to you!
I WANT HIS BABIES...sure little pekalas would be scary but hey look how freakin hott he is...our babies would be DROP DEAD GORGEOUS!!!!
NOT BAD
Way to be Pekala
He is the coolist thing sinse sliced bread!!! He is the Man! Take him dont take Laduke!
I love this man! Amazing, amazing, amazing.
Love the man, love the nevi ;) Don't let it go to your head.
Funny, super hottie! Great prof. Take him for leacture and lab.
OH MY GOD I WANT HIM SOOOOOO BAD!!!!He's such a hottie.
Pekala you rule! Take his class and stare at his ass "and the likes of". Be proud to be one of the many students that want to make out with their professors. BTW he gives study guides for all his exams and really helps any student that wants to learn. (HIGH FIVE to those who are nursing students...)
The Best Teacher Anyone can ask for. He will even go to the bar with his students!
he is a good teacher.. he keeps a whole lecture hall interested
BEST FLIPPIN TEACHER! IF YOU DONT HAVE HIM...switch to get him. if you cant...wait till next semester. PEKALA rules

PEKALA FOR PRESIDENT!! guy knows anything about everyhting in Bio! Great classes, EXTREMELY helpful and all around nice guy! Tests are challenging but he provides study guides he keeps the whole lecture hall interested...Take him or switch to get him!!
Pekala is the sexiest man alive! The best professor in the world!!!!
the man is gorgeous and has a nice booty....and hes a great professor too...don't stare too much ;)
GREAT teacher...no matter what, if you have to take anatomy..TAKE pekala. you will be sure to get an a. and hes really amazing. :)
if you are required to take the class, take him!!! he makes it fun, well as fun as a and p can be. if you have someone else, SWITCH!
he is a very good teacher. lots of notes. You will get an A if you study the notes a lot and do some work for the class. and if you go to the class you get extra points and he makes it fun. he is one of the best professors at esu.
I wouldn't call him gorgeous like everyone else does, but he's awesome! He's funny and interesting; he makes you *want* to pay attention. His tests can be challenging at times, but he gives decent curves and you get 10 free points just for going to class. Take him, he's so great.
The nicest guy ever! He's not even my advisor but he took tons of time to help me figure out my classes. Incredibly helpful and really cares about all the students, not just his.
He's a great teacher!!! Very helpful and he is easy to work with!! HIGHLY recomended
I am in love!
This. Man. Is. God. He's incredible and an amazing teacher. he's fun and HILARIOUS. He helps students and he cuts you a BREAK when youre having a rough time with your grades. he will push you up a letter grade. amazing... i want to play "BONES IN SPACE" with him later!
He is the best a&p prof. and he make the subject much more interesting but you still gotta study alot for his tests
Great Teacher!!

I have him for lab. he is the best. gotta take him.
had him 2 semester's in a row and i just had to make him my advisor. He is so helpful and wants you to do good. HE wants to help in your college experience. BEST professor at ESU. Will delay his lunch just so he can help a student understand and strive to their maximum potential. The kind of professor that doesn't want to see failure from his stude
this guy is awesome. Any anatomy class you take you will have to study. He makes sure you understand everything. Show up to class, he hands out notecards to fill out that is bonus on your tests. take him if you have to take anatomy. Not to mention he's the cutest professor on campus!
Pekala is amazing. I have him for A&P II, and as an advisor. He really cares about his students, and will work with them to make sure they understand. His lectures are easy to follow along and he is not boring. He doesn't use powerpoint, I reccomend attending class. Once in awhile he gives bonus points for showing up. HIS CLASSES ARE WOTH TAKING!
good teacher.....bad advisor!
I can say nothing bad about this man. Take a class with him whether it is part of your major or not! He is amazing.
He is the best professor ever! If everyone was like him that would have been great! Pekala RULESSSSSSSS
He's great, funny, really tries to answer all questions and make you understand the material. summer session is condensed but you learn alot and he makes you a mini book. Works with you not against you. He's good even cuts you a break time to time. I'm taking him again... wonderful teacher
absolutely amazing! i wish i could marry him! explains things better than i ever thought possible. so nice, and funny, and approachable. very understanding too. he's just great in every way
Dedicated, caring, accessible, helpful - best prof in the dept!
He is one of the best teachers I've ever had. I found the course easy, but you need to put the time in. He's incredibly kind & helpful, and will take the time to answer questions and to work with you in and out of class. He also provides real-world examples, which makes the class more interesting.
He is honestly one of the nicest teachers at this school. He's a pretty funny guy but likes to get to the point when teaching. The tests are okay if you put the time in to study and he'll give a curve every so often.If you take his three hour just remember the words "miller time" and he'll let you out kinda early.
I loved him! His tests are all multiple choice but pretty straight forward and he doesnt try to trick you for the most part. He will help you if you need if and if he knows youre trying and you care, he wont fail you. I hope to have him again in the future!
My personal favorite! Im a nursing major and this course is a requiremwnt and so far im passing it in flying colors. His review sheets are your test and he even tells you up to what number the material goes too. Multiple choice and straight forward. Very funny and loves what he does. Notes are short and to the point. LOVE HIM! DEF TAKE HIS COURSE!!
Dr. Pekala is a dedicated, frank and down-to-earth professor. He brings the diagrams to life and explains things on your level, adding interesting stories from his own personal experiences as an RN. Loves to involve people in his discussions and make it feel more like a conversation than a lecture. GREAT!
Pekala is a phenomenal professor who is extremely dedicated to his teaching. Great sense of humor and extremely clear. Definitely take him for A&P if at all possible.
He is the best professor ever so take him!!!!
Best teacher I've ever had. Take him for this class, both lab and lecture.
He's the best professor you could possibly ask for. His lectures are fun, he's very down to earth, and he'll work with you rather than against you. Great guy!
Dr. Pekala was and still is one of my favorite teachers at ESU hands down. He kept the subject interesting and comprehensible. He is very down to Earth and also funny. Pretty much all of details on his tests are straight from hi s notes, so it makes things so much easier. He's just a great guy.
Great teacher! Very funny, take him if you can. I would suggest him to anyone.
Dr. Pekala is an amazing teacher. He clearly knows what he's talking about and makes things easy to understand. As long as you show up to class, pay attention, and take notes, you'll be fine in this class. Also, take him for the Lab, his are easier than other professors make them.
Awesome teacher!
Dr. Pekala is one of the best professors at ESU. If you come to class and takes notes you will do well. He is really funny and easy to talk to.
Dr. Pekala is funny and keeps the class interesting. If you come to class and take good notes you will be fine. You should also go see the SI instructor before exams for the practice test. The practice tests are almost identical to the actual exam.
Dr. Pekala is a wonderful professor. His lectures are clear and he doesn't give information you don't need to know. He will give you a study guide before each test (including labs) that will tell you exactly what you will need to know for the exams. AP2 is not an easy class but if you show up, put in the work, and pay attention you will do well.
Awesome professor! I took him for anatomy 2 and loved him compared to my anatomy 1 professor! The class requires a lot of time and effort but it's so worth it!
