grading is horrible, doesnt help.
he is a very good professor! of course that the subject is dificult because is a 4 credit class, but he makes sure that students learn the material.. you must do your work and you most come to class,, no homework at all,,just test.
he good helpful to his student if student need extratime to undersatnd he gives the time. but you have to work hard and prepare for each class
-YOU NEED TO PAT ATTENTION TO WHAT HE SAYS BECAUSE MOST OF IT WILL BE ON THE TEST. AND IF YOU DONT UNDERSTAND IT TELL HIM DONT BE AFRAID....
Great Prof. He makes a diff. class really fun and easy to understand. I loved his class...
Do not take him. His test are unfair, not worded clearly. He also does not help you review for test. He also likes to intimidate students by reviewing and asking doctor questions!!!I can't stand him everyone in my class complained!!!
His class is pretty hard. You must study the material day and night but that's hard because one is taking other classes. He tends not to show up for your tutoring sessions that you planned with him. In other word: DON'T TAKE HIM!!!! Everyone in my class complained. The textbooks is not used in class but you could use it to study for his tests.
you MUST READ THE CHAPTERS!!!! The class is hard but he will help you JUST ASK FOR HELP and he will help! Good Luck..I took him for A&P I and A&P II
I took him in a Human Biology class as an Elective, and the guy turned out to be such a jerk! He's tests are unfair and not only that but all the work he gives is TOO much!! I never met any teacher that doesn't give a CRAP about students!! If you can DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS! EVERRRRR
Very knowledgeable of his subject (has doctrine degree). Tests are really difficult for a one hundred level class. If you like a challenge & are in the medical field I believe he would be your type. I am a bus. major & learned a lot in his class, but tests were difficult causing me to stress for a class that had nothing to do w/ my major.
One of my greatest prof. His test is a little challenge, but if you concentrate on what he said in class, and read the book, you will be fine definitely. Also, he is fun and really concern about student's opinion. I like him, and hope i can see him in another class.
I had A&PII with him in the summer and it turned out to be much harder then I expected.He definitely knows his stuff but I think his expectations towards the students are slightly too high.His grading seems too be questionable as well,but since I still got an A I can't complain.If your ready to work really hard go for it.Slackers-forget about it.
I LOVE THIS PROFESSOR. If you want an easy A don't take him..but if you're willing to work and want to learn TAKE HIM! He really wants his students to learn and he doesn't like slouches..Show him you're serious, ask question, read, and study!!! Good Luck...You can get an A
If u want to really learn take him. But just want grade then pls dont take him.
great professor, was fair and challenged you
Very good professor but by no means easy. Professor will help if you ask. His pronunciation of some words gets a bit confusing but as long as you pay attention and do all the reading you stand a fighting chance. BE ON TIME attendence is a big issue with him. If taken seriously he will definitely have you completely prepared for A & P II
BEST TEACHER I HAVE EVER MET! HE REALLY HELPS STUDENTS TO UNDERSTAND DIFFICULT STUFF, HE ALSO OFFERS EXTRA CREDIT, GIVES YOU PLENTY OF TIME TO STUDY FOR TESTS. A&P1 IS A HARD CLASS BUT HE MAKES IT FUN AND CLEAR. TAKING A&P2 WITH HIM AGAIN.
Great Professor!! A lot of studying but you will know your material when you get out. Wish I would have took A&P 1 with him. :)
Great Professor! Knows his stuff and made the class fun and interesting.
He is an excellent prof...! he makes the class very understable and interesting..
He is an excellent professor. He makes you study but he is very helpful. He gives extra help if needed. Overall A plus teacher!!!
Worst prof. to take for summer!He def. expects too much from students!He does give extra credit but if he is in a bad mood he snatches the paper within 3 minutes whether your finished or noT!Uses different text book and does not post powerpoint on BB!If hes absent he expects u to have read & understood 3 chapters w/out his help,bware if you do not!
Took Joasil for Ecoloy, awesome professor... you need to study... Also took him for General Bio 1 in summer, he is an awesome professor.
Dr. Joasil is awesome!!! He's funny, helpful, and he does expect you to read the material, however, it's only for your own benefit. This is college people..DO YOUR WORK!!
BEST PROFESSOR AT HUDSON! Possibly the best professor ever. Be ready to work though, if you take his class you WILL learn A&P, and you will learn it well. I wish I could take him with me when I leave Hudson!
This guy is the worst professor on planet earth I promise you. If you see that he is on your scheduel as a teacher, drop him immideatly.
Teaching style horrible. Test didn't match notes. So you basically have to memorize the entire book in order to pass his class. I do not recommend him! If the entire class complains you then something is seriously wrong. Never fully prepared.
Teaches very well but his tests are very hard need to be prepared to study extra
the first day of class i knew i should have dropped him when he interrupted the whole class because a student walked in late than he became obnoxious when someone called him out on how confusing his test can be, he made everyone angry and feel like we where back in grammar school HORRIBLE professor ! (EXCUSE MY GRAMMAR)
Lets keep this simple - Dr. Joasil is about his business - Pay attention in class, read the chapters (from book) at home answer the questions in the chapters (guaranteed A), listen in class and study thepowerpoint will only get you a C, the tests are from the book (60%) the info given in class is 10%, the book will guide you, KEEP CELL OFF!good guy
He's a really nice,interesting, funny professor. His teaching methods are alright. Tests are quite difficult. Goes over powerpoints during class time but to get a good grade you SHOULD read the book. Some things he wouldnt go over in class but were on the test.He does random questions thruout class that u get extra credit for if u answer correctly!
If your an easy A student you he's not a professor for you. However, If you want to learn, take him and you will never regret it. He's the BEST PROFESSOR in hccc.
if you are a hard working student take his class. You will have to put effort and it will be worth. Exam's are hard. I will take him again if I have too.
Interesting professor, knowlegable on topics. I suggest you not take his class in Summer. A lot of reading and homework. Test are long but covered the topics. you cant makeup test.
Take this professor if you aren't afraid to do the work and want to learn. Expect lots of homework and online quizzes. You HAVE to read the book. You HAVE to study. You HAVE to do the work or you will not make it. GREAT PROFESSOR. He's entertaining and has a great sense of humor. He will recognize your hard work. I took him for Anatomy 1 & 2.
Tests are a little toughtricky so you must read. Professor is very passionate about subject. YOU HAVE TO READ in order to pass.
Professor is really good. Gives everyone a chance to receive a good grade in class. Took in summer. Although it was a lot of information, learned a lot, however, you will need to read! He is also very passionate about the subject.
winter course, pretty laid back , powerpoint use
Prof. Joasil is an amazing professor! You will never get bored in his class. His lectures are interesting and easy to understand. If you pay attention in his class, it will make your studying a lot less of a burden since he makes it so clear and easy to remember in class. He lets you out early most of the time. Warning! He hits the table A LOT!!!!!
Awesome Professor!!! Be prepared to work and truly learn.
Amazing Professor, I have a night class and he knows how to keep the class engaged and awake! He's hilarious and loud, and you'll definitely learn alot!
Prof. Joasil is a strict but hilarious and amazing teacher. He finds ways to help us remember things (Anatomy and Physiology involves ALOT of memorization) and he truly wants us to pass. As long as you do your homework, read alot, and study hard, you will not only pass, but you will KNOW your anatomy and physiology.
Great! Took intensive summer course A&PI and it was tough but super enjoable cause the lectures are interesting, you need to take quizzes and prepare lab reviews and read the book too. He really makes you to study. He is very orginized and always gives you a chance to correct the grade. Love him! The best professor for those who wants to learn.
Very clear lectures, cool professor but do not give good and accurate study guide. 100 item test every week. You'll need four hours a day studying to get a B- or C
Professor Joasil is ok. He gives you quizzes that are confusing and in a short time span because its done online, so be prepared before taking the quiz. He rambles on a lot, uses powerpoints but it doesn't help too much on quizzes so listen to his lectures which can be boring. No study guides, midterm & final was 100 questions.
Anatomy & Physiology is difficult no matter where you go. Dr. Joasil makes it easy to understand and it's up to you to study hard and memorize. There's no going around it. If you want to learn, if you want to get good quality education then choose Dr. Joasil. I got a B and I'm happy because I know I worked hard for it. If you're lazy, you'll fail.
Do NOT take him, he literally sucks!!!!! doesn't help anyone, interrupts al the time his quizzes are 5 mins and confusing, his lecture don't relate to the exams and exams are 100 questions and he does not help studying or giving study guides . He also make the exams extremely HARD. DO NOT TAKE HIM!!!!!!!!!
First day of class I thought he would be a tough professor as it was an 8am-1:45pm class. He gives extra credit work throughout the semester so it would help boost your grade. He gives quizzes about every week after you finish one chapter which helps you with the exams that are given throughout the semester. Would definitely take him again! HELPFUL
The Professor was very detailed and made his expectations very clear. He gave many opportunities to do extra credit work and also gave guidelines on how to study that material.
Prof. Joasil is awesome. He is funny, intelligent, caring, and want us to pass. Just took ap1 with him in summer 1, and taking ap2 in summer 2.. You MUST READ THE BOOK and study a lot for the exams. Yes, his exams are hard but he gives so many extra credit options. He drops the lowest exam grade out of 4 exams. Im taking him again bcus iM LEARNING
Overal dont take him. His exams do not relate to his lectures. It is very possible to receive the same grade and not even go to his lectures. i am taking this other prof for ap2. Much better. Youll get a head by his screaming in your ear
He does not care about any student and doesn't help with anything. Never answers emails and is arrogant with student when they try to get more specific questions. Avoid and DO NOT take him!
Prof. Joasil is very tough, but you will learn. His test are difficult so make sure you are reading the material before and after his class. I must say he is fair and I enjoyed taking his class. If you are looking to just show up and skate by, he is not the professor to do this with. You will fail. He's really funny and there will be pop quizzes.
He starts with a power point presentation lecture then ends with a quiz. The power point he used is not written by him but from another professor from a different school. The quizes provided also do not cover all of the material from the power point. IMHO his teaching style is belligerent and doesnt connect with students.
Professor Joasil is tough but if very fair. he will set out for you what you need to do in a timely fasten. If your looking for an Easy A, you wont find it here. He does work with you if he sees you working for it. Ppl complain bout is power points but he uses other techniques to get you motivated in the material. You need effort for his class.
Explains the material very well. Teaches you at your own pace and goes back if you don't understand the topic. He knows the material, always goes prepared to class, and is easy to understand. His class was very interesting and active.
He is passionate in the subject matter! He dumbs the material down, so we understand it. Always asks if we understood what was taught after each lecture.... extremely fair grader! Easy A if you work hard and put in the time! Im taking him again for MicroBiology!
He gives Extra Credit, will drop your LOWEST quiz score. He doesn't give reviewer for the exams. You have to study very hard and make sure to read the whole chapter for the quizzes. Do not rely on his slides during exam or quiz. READ THE BOOK. During exam read his questions very carefully, bec. he try to twist the words that will make you confuse.
NO extra credit- he does drop lowest quiz. He checks homework but it's scored out of 3 and you don't get the grade back (didn't turn it in, halfassed, did well enough). He's a tough but entertaining prof. you absolutely need to keep up with the reading & ask what's going to be on the quizzes/ tests. (PS quizzes count for way too much-STUDY HARD!)
don't take this professor he gives you lots of quizzes and some of the quizzes he gives he make them up he doesn't want to hear excuses his lectures are very boring you hear him yell every few minutes
This was a half online as in the lectures and the other half was in person but only the lab . He took a level 100 class and turned it into a class that was suppose to be preparing you for medical school. He stated that when you sign up for his class he "owns you for that time and that you should never have free time, you should be studying 24/7".
this course is anatomy and physiology, coincidentally we don't do anatomy. we focus more on biology and chemistry. this is the least informing class I've taken. not to mention there are a lot of quizzes and busy work. the professor has no understanding of what A+P is. so much repetition in the class that it makes you forget the material ironically
Good prof bc of the variety of grading. Quizzes are easy, basically always last week's lesson. HW/Lab HW is a lot, but easy bc it's online or straight from the book/manual. However, he makes a lot of inappropriate/out of place comments either as examples/towards the students and makes you read out loud like middle school too.
His lectures are simplified but thorough for every student to understand and you will definitely LEARN. If you take his hybrid course be prepared to study. He is immensely passionate and expects you to do your part as a student and work for the grade. Very funny and sarcastic, so learn how to handle his sense of humor. Best professor yet.
He yells when he speaks. He singles you out constantly if you are shy. He makes very inappropriate jokes. He gives a lot of work so if you miss class your grade will drop tremendously. In his words you will not be excused from an absence unless you have a note from a hospital, not a doctor's office. His exams are the week before midterms and finals
he is an absolutely terrible professor. 15+ quizzes and tests during the semester. I've done more work here than in all of my other classes combined. homework out the wazoo. 0 star rating. way too difficult for a 101 course. focuses on useless information while testing you on information he says isn't important. worst class I've ever taken.
If you want to truly learn, this professor is for you. If you are looking to slack and get an easy A, this is not the professor for you. I went to class, did my homework and did well on his quizzes and got a good grade and learned a lot. He teaches in a way that really makes it stick. Loved taking his class and i learned so much.
Took BIO 101 and was very good at teaching the material. He does give a lot of work but its all to prepare you for his exams. Make sure to study all materials and make flashcards for his exams. Also really recommend to make group studies it really help a lot of us in class. He is also available for any questions after class.
The man is amazing. Super brilliant.
This professor is tremendously hard he gives quizzes every week he expects you to remember over 40 pictures of tissues his test are very hard not allowed to be absent very strict if u can avoid him I recommend you do or be ready to learn .A lot for a 100 level class to much
Though he tries to have a sense of humor, his class was not suitable to a hybrid course. Once you come to class, he refuses to answer any questions until after class, in which case he still doesn't answer your question. He mixes up his classes and confuses us, gives us a quiz in LAB every week and doesn't give accurate review sheets.
Took his hybrid Micro. Lots of homework - lab reports, discussions. Lots of quizzes. Midterm and final were super hard. He makes students to read out loud. Really tough. Although he's a nice guy. Always ready to help outside the class. He makes students work hard so they know the subject.
He is the worst professor I've ever had. He is very rude. He gives so many assignments and never grades them. You have to participate and turn your camera on during class. He calls out students and asks them questions. He even called us his salves and that we have to do whatever he wants in those 4 months he is teaching, gives assignments for fun.
Honestly do not do it to yourself & your GPA. I dropped his A&P right after the first class. He was demanding APA I explained that all my other professors never asked for APA. He said he would not accept MLA format & was extremely rude the very first class. He was awful & literally ignored the student's questions smh.
Dr. Joasil was very straightforward. He tells you his expectations and does not deviate from them, so there are never any surprises. I recommend taking him for Summer courses as the time flies by. Not sure I could take 4 months of him.
This professor was the worst Ive had so far. He takes forever to grade assignments and he even deducts points for discussion questions. Then he doesnt leave feedback. He gave me a midterm grade lower then expected before he even finish grading or taking the midterm. Must be on camera if not he will kick u out. There more but just dont it.
Great sense of humor and very disciplined. He expects discipline and hardwork from his students. I enjoy some sense of humor in every class. His class is one of the most difficult i have ever taken but this is to enhance my knowledge and understand the material. Prepare to take weekly tests. If you really want to learn, this is your guy.
She grades too hard for this to be a secondary course which most people are only in to complete a requirement. If you know the work I don't understand why points get deducted because you didn't draw out a response to a simple question.
He is the worst professor I ever had. He is so rude and mean. He spends most of the class giving us a call and saying stuff like we need to study and be responsible like this is high school. The rest of the class he describes how the assignments are gone be graded. And that’s it. No lecture, very little teaching. I have learned nothing from him.
He's a stickler regarding making up work. If you have medical issues that require many doctors' appointments or hospitalization and you cannot find access to a computer, beware of his "fairness policy." At least, though, he's knowledgeable in his area of expertise.
Extreme amount of work, to the point you're always rushing through assignments just to hand them in. Nobody takes his class twice. This class will hurt your GPA, especially if you have a life or responsibilities outside of his class. Grading is pretty inconsistent, and runs the class like military boot camp. Good luck, it's passable not enjoyable.
He is on a power trip, RUN!! Dropped after one class. He is like a drill sergeant. Have to have your camera on but he can keep his off (his words exactly),quizzes will be recorded, work has to be on time- no late submissions won't be accepted. Took points off if you are late to class/ don't attend Teaches like you're going for your Doctorate degree
This teacher is very difficult because he will provide too much information in a quiz at the end of each week, but there's little to no correlation with the chapter or assignments studied. For instance, the quiz content is often unrelated to the material covered
I took his summer A&P class. He is like a strict father, do not take his class in the summer because its SO MUCH work without enough teaching. He did have his funny moments and he became a lenient towards the end the best thing I could tell you is always ask him for more time on test, ask to give extra credit, ask for more time for homework.
Do not take this class if you care about your grades or sanity. Sir, this is community college, pls lock in. It is NEVER this serious.
This professor is very specific and expects certain standards to the work, it can be very challenging but also it prepared me for harder classes. Take at your own discretion
Spring 2025, Online course. It's a heavy work load. Lots to process. Good for those in the medical field. The midterm and final are slightly hard. but since its online you have your notes and textbook for reference.
needed to take this class because my credits wouldn't transfer to my current program. Hypocrite and does not believe in cutting anyone slack. We got slammed with nine assignments and were only given four days to get everything done and on top of that he doesn't even look at late work even if its a minute late. Thinks too highly of himself.
This professor is extremely difficult to deal with. His grading expectations are not consistent and required an exorbitant amount of quotes in papers. But, he apparently has a “Goldilocks” amount of quotes because he'll take 50% off your grade for too much or too little but doesn't specify. He doesn't seem to care about his student, just his ego.
