I took his class because he didn't have a rating so I though he can't be as bad as my AP1 teacher-so wrong. He never answers questions precisely and always changes the tests up (his first time teaching at HCC). My class almost all failed but he had to add a 20pt curve on the FINAL grade for us to be decent. I love A&P and with that curve I got a C.

Liked his class! He uses a lot of tools for teaching. sometimes it feels too much. lots of practice questions and online things. However its a tough course by definition!Plus Its HCC so you know how student level is! I like how he recorded lectures and uploaded them online he also gave huge bonus opportunities and lots of extra credit. big curve!

He taught this class as if we had nothing else in our lives to do but STUDY! As an instructor he should have realized that it was impossible for students to learn the material with 100% knowledge as if the course was taught in a regular semester. The material was overwhelming and I would not recomend taking you for a summer course.

This professor is not helpful and does not care about the success of his students. He did not grade appropriately and required an immense amount of work outside of class.

This is a very hard professor. He was just the lecture professor and someone else taught the lab. They did not communicate at all.

The content that is taught in class can mostly be only understood if you have already read the textbook. For the love of god read the textbook if you want anything that's said in class to be relevant to you. If you are not a fan of reading the textbook, find a different professor. If you do read, there's a good chance you can maintain a high grade.

Dr kilani is amazing. He has all resources to explain things online. in class we did questions discussions and games. He went over some main figures and concepts we had a great time in class. his tests are hard but if you study you will be ok this is a difficult class and I am glad I took him.

Unless you have plenty of time on your hands, no job, and ridiculously good note taking skills, I would not take this professor if you want an A or high B. His lectures are based off of a PowerPoint, but they don't really teach you how to think of the material abstractly, which is how his tests are framed. The tests are also what make your grade.

worst professor I had. Did not even teach the class all we did in class meetings was 'Socrative'. If we had questions about anything all he said was that it is in our textbook/notes. DONT choose this prof. he does not care for the students at all. Does too much with respondus Lockdown Browser + webcam and requires us to use a mirror to show desktop

Lots of homework

THIS IS THE WORST PROFESSOR I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE! Test are 60% of the grade but he teaches NOTHING. A&P is tough & can get confusing so it would be great if the teacher actually TAUGHT. We did everything thru WILEY & Socrative and neither helped! No regard for the pandemic. He seemed so eager to report us for cheating at any moment, weird

Lots of homework

BY FAR ONE OF THE WORSE TEACHERS HERE AT HCC. I took his online lecture course, He does not care and teaches NOTHING he is RUDE to his students. You ask him something and he'll just answer rudely and unprofessional. homework and study guides were pointless and had nothing to with the exams. TAKE AT YOUR OWN RISK!

I would like to say this prof does give ALOT of resources and he started the semester great. I was excited about this class but after the first month, he slowly started to stop answering emails and was hard to reach. Tests go into such detail it was like I was in a pre-med level class for exams. Most dropped out after the 1st exam. I Barely passed.

This the worst professor ever, if you like your grade do not take this man. He only gives quizzes on socrative that never shows up on the test. His tests are so difficult, this professor should not be teaching, you will learn nothing and be frustrated through out the semester. RUN!!!!!!!!!!

had a great class with him. really paid off later. He is tough but gives lots of support. only take him if you are motivated to be better at A&P. If you are serious about nursing he is your prof. very helpful when you reach out to him.

Worst teacher ever. there are no class meetings- you have to teach yourself. Tests are 60% of your grade, most of my classmates dropped the class after the first test because he gave the whole class zero and reported us for a simple mistake done during the environment check, finds any excuse to fail you in an exam, and never replies to emails.

Lol at ppl who cheat and then leave bad reviews. YOU FAILED THE ENVIRONMENT CHECK BECAUSE YOU WERE USING SOCRATIC/QUIZLET DURING EXAMS. Dr. K is VERY strict on cheating so the wrong people don't get a boost for nursing school. Other than that, he's extremely kind, helpful and accessible during office hours (which are ample) AND curves your grade.

Taking this class was the worst idea. I was confident due to the good ratings and it was the complete opposite. In the beginning, he made the class seem easy and was very attentive, as the class progressed he stopped caring and about half of the class was failing. The test is HARD it's difficult to come back from failing the 1/4 test.

Worst professor ever, he will give you a zero saying that you didn’t perform the environment check requirements with a 4 seconds video.
