Sam is one of the best teachers I have ever had. HE is the only teacher Ive had since highschool that has actually cared about your grades and he really wants you to learn. He is funny and tries to make lectures fun. Sam will tell you that it is hard but is willing to work with you and help you understand the material.<3 the class & <3 the teacher

Sam cares more about your sucess than most other instructors. Make no mistake about it, A&P is a very hard subject, but Sam will continue to go over the concept until everyone understands or there are no more questions. The bottom line is that Sam will help you if you are willing to put in the time and effort to help yourself & he adds some fun!

It helps to have an instructor who knows his material and enjoys doing his job. Salti is firm but fair in his teachings, and does not make you feel embarrassed to ask questions. As a matter of fact, he encourages questions until you understand the material. PCC needs more instructors like Salti. I am very please.

This prefessor really cares about you and what you learn. He is very outgoing and treats his students respectfully. He is very energetic, detailed and funny. Every opportunity is given to correct mistakes to learn the material. This class is very difficult but if you are willing to put the time in it is truly worth the work. A+++

Dr.Salti is a rare teacher, there aren't too many out there like him. If you don't understand the material he will take the time to explain it and he will keep trying until he has helped you. All he requires of you is that you put in the time and effort, and you will succeed. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to enter the medical field.

Sam is the best teacher that I ever had. He is passionate about the material and that gives you the motivation to learn. He will take the time to help you and make sure you understand the subject. But the A&P is not an easy subject, so to pass you must work hard and stay focused.

A great teacher if you don't need your hand held. He really simplifies complicated things and is always willing to help. He has a great sense of humour too!

Sam is an amazing teacher. He really wants you to learn and is passionate about making sure you get through it! The first day he seemed intimidating but please stick with it! It was a lot of fun and I really enjoyed learning from him!

Sam is tight****... He's such a good prof.. Loves to teach this subject, willing to stay late to help you learn material, let's you correct every quiz & test and gives you points back so you reallly learn stuff. His clas might be a little harder than some other professors, but hey, who will have the advantage in the end? :)

Sam will go out of his way to make sure you understand the material. He's a good lecturer that demonstrates a solid understanding of the material. A&P is one of the most difficult introductory courses you can take, and he will expect a lot (work wise) from you. If you do the work he assigns, the outcome for you the student, is well worth it.

His lectures are powerpoint, so tend to be a little boring. But he gives you 100 practice questions per chapter to do on your own if you want, and he takes his Exam questions almost directly from the practice questions. So you know what to expect on his exams. Labs he is excellent and really pushes you to do your best. Definetly recommend him!!!!!

Sam is a great teacher, would recommend him.

He is the golden standard teacher for those class's I had him for the A&P series and Patho. I will keep coming back. If you don't like him then STOP, don't go in the healthcare field, you won't make it. Too thin skinned. He prepares you for the real world of medicine. He should know how too, he is a physician. The college needs him full time.

Pathophysiology was AWESOME because of Dr. Salti. I found him extremely helpful and approachable. His lectures were jammed packed with helpful info I will use in nursing school. Study practice tests and you'll succeed! I will continue to recommend him to all health science majors. He is an asset to PCC.

Sam is a little gruff, but I have worked with doctors before and he is a lamb in comparison. He is very helpful to the students that want to help themselves. It is essential to go to the open labs, A&P is extremely difficult. Sam will spend as much time as you need with him one-on-one if you go to the open labs to see him. I highly recommend him!

Sam clearly wants his students to take the class seriously, as he points out that mistakes can't be made with out future health careers, so why should they be acceptable now? Most test questions are given in advance, and if you really study the book you should do fine in his class.

sam is great. he wants me to pass the class. he gives so many opportunities to get the information for exams. a&p is difficult. you need to be prepared for the class. sam will explain during lectures and emphasis on things that YOU BETTER MAKE A NOTE OF. good humor. if you read the chapter and go over his pactice test exams are simple.

High level of knowledge, relates physiology in entertaining ways, such as acting out attacks of Parkinson's, etc.

I think Sam is a great teacher. He's very fair, and cares about his students. He comes off a little tough sometimes, but you won't forget what he's telling you when he does. I'm grateful to have had him as a teacher.

Sam is the best teacher for A&P he will do anything in his control to help his students pass. People who think sam is bad or who say bad things about him, are probably those who don't study enough for A&P, it's a hard class no matter who you take. Sam just makes the class easier by being so helpful. I took Mirkes before sam and she wasn't helpful a

Hateful comments are left by those who did not put in the time or effort. A&P is a very difficult subject with a massive amount of information to learn in such a short amount of time. He comes across tough and his manerisms are often misunderstood. If you put in the effort, he goes out of his way to make sure you understand. He really does care!

Sam is a good teacher, he knows the material and presents it well. If you put in time and effort he will go out of his way to help you if you are struggeling, i know from experience. i would reccomend him, you will learn the material and be confident in it. He is a great teacher, but not easy. You do have to learn the material! =]

Sam is a good teacher but you have to know the material if you want to pass which means you have to STUDY!!! A&P is not a walk in the park... I got A's in the first 2 courses with different teachers and a B with Salti, because it was the summer and I didn't spend much time studying. If you actually want to learn the material take this professor.

The students that post here must have been lazy and did not want to study! I have taken Sam the last 3 quarters, and loved his teaching style as well as his helpfulness, humor and knowledge. He's VERY informative and knows his stuff!!! Id recommend him any day!

The course is hard, not the professor and it is clear on any instructor you take that the outside course work is at least 20 plus hours of studying unless you have a photographic memory. I would recommend taking medical terminology SERIOUSLY before this course, it will help your outcome of understanding and putting things together.

I have taken the entire AP courses with Sam. His goal is to prepare u for nursing programs. To pass is to always read the book, his test are not solely lecture and chapter quizzes. The book contains a lot of the material. He gives out extra credit, most AP teacher don't.

Sam may come across a little rough around the edges, but he makes himself available for help. He does tend to speed through lectures, but I've never been ridiculed for asking a question. He wants his students to do well. A&P is difficult no matter your teacher and nearly impossible if you don't take responsibility for yourself and study.

Sam is a fascinating, tragic character. How many medical doctors smoke cigs and teach at PCC? FYI his other name is Mohamad. His attitude is surly but he is very knowledgeable, and available. It was a tough course, but I learned a lot, got an A, and feel better prepared for nursing school. I would recommend him to anyone willing to study hard.

You teach yourself mostly. Very independent class. Lectures aren't too helpful but chapter questions are very helpful! I recommend reading the book, not necessarily his notes. He wants to replace the books with his notes b/c he disagrees with the author always! Nice guy otherwise. Still read the chapter, he doesn't always make sense

Biology is a hard subject to study. Sam takes pride in having his students pass therefore he makes sure to teach. He tries his best to make biology understandable. Walks about in lab and makes sure he walks each group through labeling different structures on the models ( video is option to study at home). I can go on and on about how awesome Sam is

He is kind of easy. For the Midterm 1 and 2, he allows his students to make correction and earn more points. For quizzes, only 10 questions and they are all on question package which he posts on his course, so just answers those and get 10 points. He flexible with his schedule, if he feels his students not ready for quizzes. He makes it next class.

7 of 7 Sam is prompt on grading assignments and offers timely feedback, he makes sure his students are prepared before he hands out a quiz and will push quizzes back if the class doesnt feel confident on the chapter. Sam is one of my favorite professors and I would recommend him to anyone who is serious about pursuing a medical education.

4 of 7 This class is not an easy A but if it were you would not have the base knowledge nor be prepared to succeed in a medical program. With that said anatomy and physiology requires commitment, it is rigorous, and demanding. You have to put in the time not just to pass the class but to understand the fundamentals of anatomy and physiology.

3 of 7 Sam wants his students to succeed however there is a copious amount of curriculum in the anatomy and physiology trilogy. Sam goes out of his way to assist students in difficult material and makes himself accessible outside of class to answer questions and clarify misconceptions.

2 of 7 He also has a good sense of humor and teaches effectively. If youre taking this class its safe to assume you are interested in science and more specifically medicine and need to build a foundation required to succeed in a related field.

Sam is SUCH an awesome professor! Several people state "quick and nonspecific lectures." However, it is really up to the student to be able to be self-sufficient and study primarily outside of class. Yes, Sam's lectures are of little to no help, but if you put in the effort outside of class, you will get the A. Sam really cares about your success!!

Sam is clear about what will be on the exams and quizzes and gives great guides. Be sure to ask questions in lab as going from 2D diagrams to 3 models can be confusing and Sam knows his stuff. If you do the study guides you'll ace the quizzes which help with the midterms which are not easy. Do them ahead of time and ask questions.

BI231 is time consuming and overwhelming. Look up & learn questions provided, memorize diagrams, watch videos, & STUDY! Sam may not be the most gracious or polite person, but he gave a clear outline of what to expect on quizzes & tests. He grades assignments, & responds to emails, quickly. I studied & watched CrashCourse videos 7 days/week.

I'm a student with a learning disability and found Sam's clear and direct teaching style to be perfect for A&P 231. This class is a lot of information crammed into a short amount of time and you definitely have to put in the time for an A. Sam is precise on what you need for quizzes and exams. He also provides some really helpful studying material

The most important thing for Sam, is having his students understand the material. Which greatly because of him, I did! He created an amazing environment for us to learn and feel comfortable asking questions in. At times he could sound patronizing, but truthfully, I don't think that's how he mans it. I'm taking as many of his classes as possible!!

Amazing teacher. He explains things so you actually understand it not just get the right answer. He literally gives you the answers to the quiz and exams though so if you show up you pass. If you don't so well on his class it's because you didn't go to class or try. Would take another of his classes and would highly recommend him!!

I plan to take BI232 and BI233 with Sam. I like his style, which is clear expectations, organized and fair. There are only quizzes and tests, and each week he gives you questions to go over (optional). Those questions show you his style of testing, his quizzes are taken from those questions and many test questions too. Slides are great.

Sam is a straight forward type of teacher. He will tell you what to be prepared for for the course you are taking ahead of time, and he does not sugar coat anything. Which makes it somewhat intimidating at first, but he's only telling the truth. A&P is a difficult course no matter. I plan to take the rest of the A&P courses with him if possible.

You either love his style or you don't. He can seem a little arrogant at times but he's actually a really cool professor. His quizzes are cut and paste from the questions he gives us on D2L. His exams are a little hard but all multiple choice. Study everyday and don't stay behind it is a lot of material. You have access to everything ahead of time.

He is one of the best BIO professors I ever had, being non english speaker and take the science classes is very very hard. But he inspired me and now I feel like I can do it for sure. He is really smart and knows what he wants from students. He might be rude but he is the best instructor I ever had in science classes. Just study and ask questions.

I took the entire A&P series from Salti 3-4 years ago. And have now graduated with a BSN. I can tell you from experience that the expectations Salti sets for his students are ideal to prep you for nursing school and his exam style very much resembles NCLEX style questions. I am so grateful to have had him as a professor prior to nursing school.

Sam is amazing has a heart of gold and cares deeply about his students success. His classes are hard and require a lot of work. He can come off as intimidating but he has a ton of material to cover. He welcomes questions but can tell whether youve actually done the work. If you do the review and use the study material provided, youll be fine.

Amazing professor that knows what is expected of you to pass your board exams for medical professions. He spoon feeds you the information through his lecture slides and notes. To succeed you need to do your weekly practice quizzes as you will see them on weekly quizzes and future exams. 98% of answers can be found on Quizlet. Study, Study!

I took Sam for BI233. I think it is was one of the hardest classes I have ever taken. With that said I would take him again which means a lot cause I'm the type to prefer an easy A. I think anybody who thinks he is cocky or talks down to the students doesn't understand some differences in culture maybe? He 200% truly cares about his students!

Sam is awesome. He genuinely cares about his students' success. He can be a little intimidating but it's A&P, he expects you to put in the work. Do the practice questions for lecture and you will do well on the quizzes/test. He does well in preparing you for lab practicals but the amount you study determines your grade. Prepare to crack the books.

The class is based only on quizzes and exams. He gives you study guides for the quizzes and picks 10 to put on it word for word. In lab he helps label the models and then allows you to label them as well. The complaint I have is sometimes he would have quizzes due the same day as exams. Exams were taken at a specific time on a specific day (wed,7p)

Sam is the kind of teacher that doesn't mince words. When he says that the course is difficult, he means it. He gives huge study guides but they are helpful. Grade is completely based on tests and quizzes, no homework. If you work for it, you will be rewarded. He comes off as intimidating at first, but he knows when you are working for your grade.

He provides you with the all the material you need to succeed in the course. He gives out a document for each chapter and as long as you study over it you will get an A on each test. He is straight forward and very informative. I highly recommended this teacher.

Salti is a very good teacher. In the other reviews of salt some say he can be condescending he is nothing of sort. He can kind of come off a little brass but that's just his personality. He makes sure you are listening to his lectures by putting stuff that he says on the tests. The study guide is extensive, but well worth it when you fill it out.

Make sure you do the practice questions! It's a lot, but those will really help you out. I'd recommend reviewing his lecture after class and starting on the practice questions (I put mine in Anki). Salti really took the time to make sure we understood what was going on in the system.

Clear instructions if you pay attention and study, you'll be fine. This is a hard class no matter which professor, but I liked Salti.

I've only experienced lecture with Salti, but he is a good instructor. He teaches you a lot of material and he gives very clear instructions on what he will test on. This class requires a lot of studying, which is normal for an A&P class. He may appear to be a bit intimidating when answering questions, but that is his personality. He is nice!

Salti is an amazing professor. He gives you every tool to succeed. A&P is hard. Dont mistake a hard class and material with a hard teacher. He wants you to pass, he dedicates so much of his free time to office / lab hours. GO! Hes much friendlier 1 on 1 too. Its easy to ask him questions and hes happy to help.

An amazing teacher and very kind. He cares a lot about you passing his class. When he sees you putting in the effort, he will give it back to you and cares a lot about his relationships with his students. The class is just very hard in general, LOTS of studying/memorizing. He takes time outside of class to open lab for you. Take that opportunity!

As consuming as the weekly(optional)questions are, they are SO helpful. Find your people, watch his videos/do the ?'s, go to open lab, ask him ?'s! He is not as intimidating as he acts. He is very caring about you passing. He knows the class is hard. He is a doctor, he knows a lot about this subject. Sometimes over explains subjects/talks too fast

Samisaverywellorganized&caring professor.A lot of people mistake his personality&focus on how he says things not what he says&often take it the wrong way.He provides resources from lecture slides/recordings to study guides as well as lab videos and a clear quiz and exam structure to help you succeed.He is blunt but he only wants to see you pass.

Sam is very straightforward and no B.S. If you are a sensitive person, or take things personally he may not be for you. He's not mean but holds his students to a high standard. He quizzes directly from weekly set of ?'s. There are 2 midterms and a final. You're able to make corrections on first 2 tests, regaining .25-.5 points of each missed ?.

I had taken A&P ~10 years ago and BI 231/232 during the pandemic. Sam's teaching was transformative. His lectures and review questions made learning clear and engaging, so I even retook BI 231/232 with him. He's caring, approachable, and dedicated to student success. I wish I learned A&P the subsequent times the way he taught it. Highly recommend.

I really enjoyed taking all 3 A&P classes with him. He's (sometimes unintentionally) very funny, and has very clear grading criteria and expectations. You get a double sided notecard for each lecture exam, and he's by far the best lab teacher. A&P is hard work no matter what- he is producing skilled healthcare students with his high expectations.

Sam is a challenging instructor, but I'm in nursing school and glad that I took A&P with him. He thoroughly prepared me for pathophysiology. He focuses on applying knowledge, not rote memorization. He can be hard on people, so if you haven't spent time with immigrant parents who have very high standards, you might struggle with him interpersonally.
