You dare not take his class because i can assure you he is setting you for for failure. he is the worse professor i have ever had in pg. find a better professor who has time and cares for the success of his students. he hardly shows up to class and gives unannounced exams to his students. he hold no review prior to his exams. he is so horrible
He wants everyone to pass. He explains things so that everyone understands it. He is very funny I wish I could take him for my microbiology. If you want to pass take his class
He missed class a couple of times but later fixed things. His lectures are fun and he's always cracking jokes. If you want to pass his class I recommend you ALWAYS attend class and do your HW and quizzes on time to prepare you for the Lab practicals and exams. His classes are test heavy but if you put in the work you'll have no problem.
Dr Douglas was Awesome! Everything was easy to understand and he made class enjoyable. He is very fair with his grading and he has a good sense of humor I took him for anatomy 2 during the summer and managed to get a fair grade. Thank you Professor! ED
He's okay I guess, had him for A&P II in the summer. He was chill and wants his students to succeed. A&P in general is hard af and it definitely will not be easy, if you barley survived A&P I, then you are going to struggle because it only gets harder. Make sure you make time to study your textbooks and PowerPoint slides.
Douglas did a lot of traveling so he missed more than half the class. There were pop test over material he never went over nor told us to study for. They syllabus was useless and he's email response time was slow. He did try his best to make the class fun when he did so up. He's seems like a cool person, but a bad teacher.
He isn't the best nor is he the worst, He tries to make jokes in class but it's hard making a class such as Anatomy and Physiology "enjoyable", would hate the class in general no matter what professor was teaching it but the professor was alright. You'll have to put in a great amount of time each day to study for exams, both Lecture and Lab.
Dr. Douglass is a great professor. A&P is naturally a very context heavy course but Dr. Douglass makes it interesting & he's funny. He does a great job with explaining things in layman's terms so I recommend him especially for students new to the science field. Doesn't grade on attendance. If you do the assignments you will do well on the exams.
I would recommend every student to register for his class. I had family emergencies so I was not able to study at all and I still passed his class.
If you are his student, Professor Sylvester, is there to help you succeed. He is genuine in his profession. I was so glad I took my friend's advice and took his class.
This course had two professors, Dr Douglas taught lecture and Dr. Bayat lab. Dr. D actually cares about his students. He doesn't mind repeating himself. He assigns BookSmarts that are SUPER long but gives ample time to complete. His exams hard, worth A LOT, and are multiple choice. You NEED to study and actually put in the work.
Prof Douglas is a very good teacher and really knows how to breakdown notes. Also, you learn everything and stays in your head. I will definitely take him again and thoroughly enjoyed learning in his class.
This is my fist time taking his class and it was fun. He made the usual struggling anatomy class easy. He uses passed experiences to make students understand a concepts. He connect concepts to real life examples so students can understand better. He is a friendly teacher an is open to the most stupid questions from students.
Bomb teacher!!! Very helpful, understanding, always available, he doesn't mind staying after to help, Takes his time to explain, gives good feedback, and funny as hell. definitely taking his class again.
Dr. D was one of my favorite professors. He takes time to make sure you understand the material, all while making it relatable. Most of your grade comes from exams, but the homework helps. Due to the odd class schedule he was understanding and showed leniency most professors don't. He gave multiple review sessions in his spare time as well.
Anatomy and Physiology was extremely difficult and I could not have chosen a more caring and knowledgeable professor. He genuinely cares for his students and many times will change his teaching plans to fit the needs of his class. He has a fantastic sense of humor and uses it often to help us understand. You will not find a better professor!
Profesor Douglas has a very unique way of teaching. I was able to grasp and obtain the information. He is very funny and actually teaches in a way that had the class captivated and intrigued.
He's amazing! He explains the material in a way that everyone can understand. Best professor ever!
He is very good at lecturing, he breaks down difficult tasks and makes you understand them better with his analogy. I love how he repeatedly stresses some concepts and names, making you remember those easily.
I was diagnosed with cancer this year and honestly, I did not have to energy nor hope to finish this class. However, Professor Douglas has motivated and prepared me in so many ways! He records every lecture to make sure you aren't missing any material, he demonstrates the lectures really well and always has been easy to contact outside of class.
In my last bio class, I was failing every lab test and barley getting thru lectures to making B's and C's on lab exams. Professor D has a amazing way of helping his students retain information while helping you prepare for the medical world. Amazing learning experience and he is funny! the best community college experience you will have hands down
Professor Douglas is a really understanding and thoughtful person he made the class accessible for those that have personal reasons not to attend and he recorded it to they can go back and watch it he made jokes and explain how his medical school was so it helped me understand and remember some of the assignments. Overall his one of the best at
Professor Douglas is a really understanding and thoughtful person he made the class accessible for me having dealing with some personal reasons he recorded it to they can go back and watch it he made jokes and explain how his medical school was so it helped me understand and remember some of the assignments. Overall his one of the best at
Professor D has been really good this semester. He has really kept his students engaged and managed to make anatomy interesting. I feel like he has really helped me prepare me for medical school and he actually cares about his students.
I really enjoyed my Anatomy and Physiology class with Professor Douglas. I would recommend him to many students. I wish I could take further classes with him, he always has the class engaged. He is also very funny and optimistic.
Proffersor D is very respectable, funny, listens, explains, gives extra credit, helps you understand better by telling storys, goes out his way to help you. he wants you to succeeded and not fail. hes not here just to get a check. He actully cares about his students
TAKE HIS CALSS!!! HE CARES ABOUT HIS STUDENTS! I took Prof D during the summer, I already knew A&P1 was a tough class but his lectures are very interesting and straight forward. His lecture exams are based off material thought. For the lab exams utilize his slides and always show up for his lab practice exams it helps. He is an Easy Grader!!
Professor D is a great teacher, his teaching is understandable, and you have to read, he encourages you to read and understand the material. He made the class so filled with sense of humor that you will not want the class to end. his teaching is understanding, he is indeed a great teacher.
Professor Douglas's class is fun, but he makes you work for your grade. Be prepared! His teaching style is awesome, he's very relatable and conveys the material in a way that is very understable. He's constantly reviewing and going over the material. He accommodates and meets students where they are. I look forward to taking A&P 2 w/ FAS24.
He made complex topics easy to understand, his lectures were engaging, and he provided plenty of real-world examples that helped us relate to the material. Overall, Professor Douglas a supportive learning environment that made a significant impact on my academic journey. I highly recommend his classes to anyone interested in BIO2050.
Prof D , his way of lecture made it easily for me to retain alot of materials, attendance is not mandatory but Always show up for the pre lab practice exam review . All his exam questuons are straightforward and are from his slides, he doesn't test on materiat not covered in his class. Take him for your A&P class !!!!
Thank you for making the class an enjoyable environment, after being out for 14 years. you can truly be an inspiration to young people out there who are trying to find themselves in the educational world. I wouldn't have ever imagine anatomy and physiology could be a be this fun and yet I learnt so many things like never before. Thank you Doctor D
Take his class. He is a good professor and he cares, admitted the material can be a lot but he give clear requirements as to what he wants done. Show up, put in the work and you will definitely pass his class. Attendance is not mandatory but try to show up for lab. Labs and exams are based only on material thought in his class.
He explains things in a way that actually makes sense and even manages to make lectures entertaining. He records all his in-person lectures so you can review them later, which is super helpful. He's also really approachabl, and even makes extra videos for topics that are tricky. Highly recommend taking his class!
Great Professor. He takes his time to explain all of the lectures in great detail. The class is enjoyable and engaging. Read and know everything. The great thing about that is that you will remember his examples from the lecture to get you through the exams. It is best to engage. Best professor I have taken in my college career.
Professor Douglas, who we refer to as Dr. D is an exceptional teacher. He explains all of the necessary material in detail, so that you can understand and retain it. Honestly, I wish I could take him to my next school with me lol, but seriously he is absolutely amazing. Lastly, be sure to always do your part by studying hard, or else, ok bye.
Dr D's delivery of materials were practicable and ease to understand, as a visual learner i found this very helpful. For every concept we had a janky picture to go along with it. He also took time to answer students questions and referred student to materials that would help reinforce what he taught. I would recommend is class to everyone.
He's a great teacher that cares about you learning the information. His tests will be thorough in making sure you know your stuff but during classes and labs he goes over everything you'll see on the exam and he tries to give plenty of examples and mnemonic devices to remember the information from class.
Prof Douglas is funny and really tries to make sure the information he teaches the students will stick with them. His labs and classes are informational and there are plenty of examples and mnemonic devices he creates for students to remember what is covered in class.
If it was not for Professor Douglas! I would have failed this class I admire his way of teaching, funny but yet vary relatable to our lives. He makes it so fun yet easy to learn. I know you will appreciate his class.
Dr. D is an amazing professor with a great sense of humor. He makes the class so engaging that you will love to study and want to learn more about the course. He has an amazing personality and is very knowledgeable,excellent at teaching,teaches with clarity /understanding. His goal is for you to understand the course thoroughly, not just to pass.
Dr. Douglas makes Anatomy and Physiology light for us for he uses interactive lectures, he gives us the room to ask questions when in doubt, he asks us if we are clear with his lectures before he proceeds. He conveys materials clearly. He uses diagrams which helps us retain information. In my opinion, I think he is the best teacher in A&P.
Professor Douglas, teaches Anatomy and Physiology 1&2 and has a remarkable ability to make complex topics accessible and engaging. His teaching style is highly interactive. One of Professor Douglas's strengths is his ability to convey material clearly. He breaks down intricate concepts into manageable parts. I recommend Dr. Douglas.
Dr.D I started A&P2 last semester with another professor but later dropped because I wasn't really getting it, but Dr. D made me to love this course through his excellent teaching style. He explains and breaks down the course material so well for easy understanding, he uses great examples to help you retain materials,he has great sense of humor.
Dr.D made me to love this course after I had dropped with another professor. He explains and breaks down course material with detailed explanation, his sense of humor makes the course and the class more enjoyable! I wish he could teach all my courses. He is the best prof. in PGCC! Take him and thank me later with a bottle of wine!
While A&P is a challenging subject, Dr. D does an excellent job of explaining difficult concepts. His interactive teaching style keeps students engaged, and he breaks down complex material into manageable parts. I highly recommend him for anyone looking to succeed in A&P! He is definitely passionate about impacting the lives of his students.
Great Professor overall, his personality makes the class seem much easier and fun.
Professor D is very understanding and makes sure everyone is on the same page before moving forward .Professor D always prep his students before the exam and he is open to all questions from students . Professor D doesn't get mad at students and his class is always interesting . Doctor D always respond to emails and calls from students with issues
A&P is not an easy class, but Dr. Douglas makes it enjoyable. Not an easy A class. You need to put effort in. Gives many opportunities for thorough review and makes the content relatable and digestible.
He is very inspirational, a great mentor. With him I learnt how to test better not only for his class but all his tips will be a great help to my whole educational life.
Dr. Douglas was an amazing instructor the lecture and lab were easily understand because of his expertise in the medical field and he is a comedian also the class were laughing all the time. You cant feel any pressure just learn while enjoying in the class
His class was fairly easy and very detailed, making it a perfect blend of challenging yet approachable material. He consistently used real-life references that not only deepened our understanding of complex concepts but also made lessons memorable. His sense of humor added a fun twist to the classes.
He's a great professor who truly cares about making sure his students understand the material. While he grades tough, he's always willing to explain concepts clearly and won't let you leave class confused. He brings a lot of humor into his lectures, so be ready to laugh—his classes are both engaging and informative.
Professor Douglas was great, his lectures are fun and engaging. He constantly asks if you are getting the material and has no problem going back and reviewing. He also is very accommodating if you miss a test.
One of the things I appreciated most was how Dr. D made a subject as rigorous as Anatomy & Physiology feel exciting rather than overwhelming. His ability to connect with students, build confidence, and maintain a positive atmosphere is truly commendable.
Professor Douglas not only is great at his depth of knowledge, he is easy to talj
He's good and fun to listen to
Great method of making the material relatable for understand and memorizing.
Dr. D is an amazing and fair instructor. He really tries to help his students understand the information in class
Absolutely believe the consistency of the feedback written here. I have been through MANY science courses and have never thoroughly understood all the content. He is so relatable and makes most concepts digestible with it being a heavy work load. He makes himself available after class for further teaching and you can tell he loves what he does!!
very good teacher
Dr. D is an amazing professor. He genuinely cares for his students and wants to see them succeed. He makes the contents of the course easy to understand with his storytelling skills. The will need to spend a decent amount of time studying for the exams and lab practicals but relistening to the lectures is my go-to method.
i really enjoyed my A&P class this semester because of Dr. Douglas. He breaks down every single concept to its simplest forms and even makes jokes while explaining to help students learn better. I highly recommended taking him for A&P!
Dr.Douglas made understanding Anatomy 2 lab materials easy to digest. He brings real world connections and experiences and relates it to the class which makes an easy connection when studying.
Anatomy & Physiology II was a challenging course, but he explained complex topics in a way that made them easier to understand. Dr. D was always approachable and willing to help. You'll succeed if you stay on top of the material and utilize the resources provided.
He explains in details and makes processes and terminologies easy to understand. He also uses references that make learning fun
He is a good professor and provide all resources available for the course. He is always available to render assistance to students. He explains every concept of the course.
Dr.D is an amazing teacher, He explains complex topics clearly and makes learning engaging. He also brings humor and real-world examples, so learning's a blast!
I loved that he recorded the lectures so when you're studying you can go back to them. Also, great sense of humor, made the class a fun environment to learn.
Awesome professor always explains thing in a easy way to understand which could be from his janky drawings or real world experiences he also always stops and encourages questions during his slides and has a great/positve attitude for teaching.
Dr. Douglas was an excellent professor in the lab section. He cares about his students, very down to earth and understands how stressful taking Anatomy and Physiology can be and will listen and advise students who ask for help.
Dr. Douglas makes this class feel less difficult. he provides a lot of material, especially for lab exams, which helps a lot. He is funny but also a tough grader, so be ready to study a lot, especially for lecture exams that tend to be more difficult than lab exams. Overall, he knows the class is difficult but motivates his students to keep trying.
professor Douglas is awesome teacher he makes the class lively and bringing his past student experience and encourage you how you can make it a success. He also makes sure to go through all materials and give room for questions. He also goes extra for do doctor's office class for review before any exam. Responds to emails on time.
My first meeting with Professor Douglas was for my A&P1 first lab exam when he was covering up for Professor Alexander. We did a review session with him before the exam and I loved his style of teaching. His presentation was just excellent. I will definitely give him a 5 star. Good job! Professor Douglas.
Professor D was so amazing and his lectures were really detailed.
Dr D is an amazing teacher. He knows that the course is heavy and difficult so he makes sure the class is lively and easy. Dr D is amazing he does not only focus on class material but the mental wellbeing of the students. I will retake him and highly recommend him.
Really engaging and makes you want to learn. Teaches you in a way you actually remember!!
This is probably the best professor at PGCC for Biology. He is extremely knowledgeable in this topic. He wants you to ask questions because he wants you to succeed. He records his lab and lecture in case you can't make it in person. The homework assignments he gives always relate to the exams. If you take the time to study, you'll pass.
He is an amazing BIO-2050 professor. He explains topics so well that you'll be able to remember how things work easily. He also records his class incase you want to review the lecture or incase you miss the class.
Honestly one of the best professors I ever had. This class is very intimidating but Dr.D made things very easy to understand and stick for your exams. Lectures are created to help you on your exam so as long as you review and study you'll pass.
its a hard class but he makes it so much easier.
Good professor always there when you need him and he teaches in a way so students can remember.. can tell he enjoys what he does.. I'd take his class again as he's very lenient
Dr. D one of the BEST professors at PGCC! Is his class easy no but the way he teaches class makes it wasy for one to understand. Taking a class taught by Dr.D will be challenging but at the end of the class YOU WILL KNOW YOUR MATERIAL!! He's one of those professors where It's "either you know it or you don't" you will literally earn your grade.
Uses personal stories for deeper understanding of what you are learning. The class is exam/lab practical heavy but you get time to study just don't fall behind.
Considering the fact that bio 2050 is a tough class but Dr D, made the class easy to learn. He uses his personal experience to explain for the class to understand. The recorded video he made always helps.i will take him again if need be.
Professor Douglas is probably the only professor I know that actually makes learning fun. I had A&P1 in the summer so it was accelerated and its a heavy course but he made it go by smooth.
I fairly enjoyed Dr. D class. His method of teaching makes it so much easier for the class to retain information as he provided us with real life stories related to the subject. He recorded his classes, so it made it easier to go back to and watch them again for when you needed to study for the exam. I'll definitely be retaking him for bio2060!!
I'm very grateful my professor was Mr.Sly for A&P 1. I hope to have him for A&P 2 which goes to show how great of a professor he is. He is extremely funny and the only professor I can genuinely sit through a lecture + lab with at PGCC. Kudos, Sly!
Professor Douglas was good at relating real life experiences or catch phrases to memorize information. The material is a lot. Make sure to study. Also lab exams are hard due to fill in blank only.. but that is PGCC matter.
Dr. Douglas is a one of a kind professor. A&P can be a difficult course but he teaches in a way that makes it very manageable. The course is test heavy so be prepared for that but through attending lecture/lab and forming solid study habits, this class is very doable. He has a great personality and keeps class super engaging and fun!
Prof Douglas has been one of my favorite teachers I have ever learned from in my 16+ years of schooling. His enthusiasm, his candor, his “janky” drawings, and even his stories/rants all helped me to absorb the information, especially for something as complex as A&P II. He's made learning fun for me, and I looked forward to his course weekly!
Dr. D is an amazing professor, and I would recommend taking his course. He teaches with humor and relatable stories, which makes it easy to stay engaged and retain information. The course itself is very tough, but he makes it pretty easy to pass. Exams are straightforward and he provides many resources to help you prepare. Homework is very light.
He's a really cool. He makes the material relatable, which helps a lot with remembering what we learn. He does go off topic sometimes, but he always ties it back to the lesson. The class itself is tough because of the curriculum, so you definitely have to put in the work on your own. But as a teacher, he's fun, engaging, and easy to connect with.
Professor Douglas makes Anatomy and Physiology fun and easy to understand. His stories help you remember the material, and his enthusiasm keeps the class engaged. He pushes students to do their best and truly cares about their success. I highly recommend taking his class, you'll learn a lot and enjoy it too.
A&P is a hard class. You will need to study a lot in order to pass the exams. However, Dr. D is a great professor. He is very knowledgeable in the subject. He keeps his lectures fun and engaging, and he uses real world problems/scenarios to help us understand the material. I highly recommend Dr. D for A&P 1 and 2.
A and P 1 was the hardest for me and I didn't really concentrate on the course because I was taking another science class with it. My exams were always clashing together. Just don't so what I did if you want to pass A and P. But Doctor D is the best at teaching it so we all tried our best.
Professor D. I would take his classes over and over again. He's funny, makes every lesson relatable, and explains things in a way that actually sticks. He's very easy to talk to and extremely approachable, which makes learning the material so much less stressful. One of the best instructors I've ever had so far.
DR. Douglas consistently uses real-life examples that make even the most complex topics easy to understand. Dr. D's teaching style is engaging, clear, and incredibly effective overall. He is an outstanding professor who goes above and beyond. I highly recommend Dr. D to anyone looking for an inspiring and supportive instructor!
Have fun if you are planning to take Bio-2060, Dr. Douglas is going to make you laugh with his stories and teach you with them. He is such a great professor and will make sure you are connecting with his lessons.
Dr. D is the best professor EVER. Excellent at explaining the course material,making sure students understand. He constantly ask if students have questions, comments,or concerns while moving throughout the objectives. He repeats over and over until you grasp the information. He offers his lecture on Panopto to be viewed later. STUDY HARD DO WELL.
Professor Douglas is exceptionally knowledgeable and teaches with passion and clarity. He applies real world examples to help you better understand the course material. 10/10
Dr. Douglas is a very great Professor, he is relatable and funny and also teaches in layman's terms as well as the medical terminology. Be prepared to study the materials given everyday so it can be fresh in your mind. Overall he is a great professor that I recommend taking and that I would take again.
He explains the material very well and clearly, and he cares about his students.
Professor is a very knowledgeable and engaging instructor who clearly cares about student learning. His PowerPoint slides are very detailed and there are many of them, which can feel overwhelming at times, but they are helpful for studying. Overall, he is a great professor if you are willing to stay organized and put in the work.
Professor D is very good at conveying the information in a way which everyone understands, he make sure you understand before moving on by asking if you have any questions or concerns. I especially love the fact that he records the lectures for you to go back to. He also allows extra credit just incase your down a couple points :)
Professor Douglas is knowledgeable, organized, and explains biology concepts clearly. He uses real-life examples to make the material easier to understand. Staying engaged in class and reviewing his notes is important for success. He is fair, approachable, and genuinely wants students to learn and do well.
I took his Hybrid class lab was in person and lecture was online pre-recorded lecture videos. He was better than both my previous professors because he made real life connections and scenarios to help comprehend the topic at hand. Another part that made his class more effective in my opinion was his janky drawings. Does extra credit occasionally.
Great professor
Uses real word examples to understand terminology and always leaves room for questions. Provides further explanation when needed.
Very knowledgeable and supportive professor. He breaks down difficult concepts and makes A&P interesting. Clearly passionate about the subject and explains complex topics in a way that's easy to understand. Assignments and exams are fair, and feedback is always helpful.

He makes learning fun and relatable. I was able to get a good grade in this class because he teaches in a way you can understand.
Professor Douglas is a great professor he has a way of covering the material where it is easy to digest. He also has a story about everything but its good because he ties into the lecture. I recommend students take his course because he is very helpful and knowledgeable with all the material covered.
Taking BIO 2060 with this professor has genuinely improved my understanding of Anatomy & Physiology at a deeper, clinical level. Their teaching style is clear, structured, and very aligned with how real healthcare workers think, which helped me connect the cardiovascular, lymphatic, immune, respiratory, and endocrine concepts to what I actually see
Dr. Douglas is extremely knowledgeable and relays his knowledge well. That doesn't mean it's an easy class, but he takes a complex subject and makes it manageable to learn as long as you do your part. Study study study.
Professor Douglass is a very good and helpful teacher. He's willing to work with you, and he also gives extra credit opportunities that can really help your grade. The class is very test-heavy, so you definitely need to study well and stay on top of the material. The exams can be challenging so ensure you study hard and ahead of time.
It's A&P, so of course it's not going to be "easy" no matter the professor. Despite this, Professor Douglas makes sure his classes are very engaging and always records lectures for you to go back to! Really fun professor to have, and I highly recommend him!
He is very knowledgeable. He jokes but is very serious about your education. He makes learning interesting.
I had a great experience with Dr Douglas. His teaching style makes you actually stay awake and interested to learn. Highly recommend.
Professor Douglas is a good Professor overall, but beware the lab exams can be really difficult which is understandable since this is a really difficult class. Prof. Douglas does make lots of jokes and does care about you both academically and socially which is a good thing about him. He is also one of the most understanding Professors.
Great professor, he cares about students learning and succeeding in this course. He always ask if we have any question and provides examples for better understanding.
Very funny and expressive teacher. Always willing to assist his students if they're confused on any topic and hears them out when they are struggling. Would take a class taught by him again!
