thought he was a great professor, the only thing, I thought he should of gave the answers to the study guide at least the day before the test just to make sure the answers you had were right, but study hard you'll make an A. Lab was a differnt story, study guide was sooooo much to know just for 50 questions. But overall he's a great guy.

Altho the comments all are pluses for this prof, you have to take note that they're all for his lecture class. For his LAB class it's an entire different ball game. Since we only meet once a week, its a PURE SELF TAUGHT class. We even went on a week without class because he canceled class for a USF football game. Not recommended for his lab.

Everyone knows Anatomy & Physiology is a difficult course. What they don't know is that this professor gives you the easiest way he possibly can to pass. There are 45 exams in lecture & lab. He gives you a study guide and a key before the exam. If you simply read over the review and understand it you wont get less than a B on his exams.

A&P 1 is a hard class. If you study his study guide reviews you'll pass no problem. If you don't, you will fail. His reviews is basically the entire exam. If you study it, you shouldn't get anything other than a B. He is very into the class, he loves it. He is also very fit for an older man. He is always smiling while teaching. A good guy!

Such an easy teacher. No textbook needed. His power points explain everything and his study guide IS THE EXAM. No reason not to get A, honestly. If you didn't get an A you are a moron and didn't do the study guide. And if your taking this class to get into nursing school and found this class to be hard, just stop while your ahead.

His tests are horrible so is the lab he teaches. One extra credit and 4 tests. Spends too much time taking about himself and statistics the grades over the course of couple of years. He won't really teach. He will give you about 200 and some topics to learn for each test and tell you to refer online if it is not covered in class and is not BAD

Do not make a mistake by taking this professor. I did and regretted. Horrible. He will mislead you so nicely with his test questions and preparation for it.

I really enjoyed this class! It was a hybrid so we only meet every other week which was the best part of the class. He is a good teacher and tells you what to study for the test. it is up to you to study it and do good in his class. You have to be self motivated to take this class.

DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSORS ONLINE OR HYBRID CLASS! I am good at A & P & I had to work for my B. Tests are timed online he gives less than 1 minute per question. His attitude is if you don't know it, you deserve whatever grade you get. Even in Lab he wanted to rush us through our test. We had 1 test every lab, all grades are based on the tests.

Had a hard time learning from his class. I felt rushed and was made to feel stupid if you dont know something. I generally want to learn in class not just memorize for test taking which is was is enforced with how he teaches. I believe professors should really take the time to teach rather than just preach. I want to learn and get an education.

Awesome teacher! I wanted to take him for A&P2 as well, but all the slots were taken. It is memorization mainly, but while you are going through the powerpoints and study guides, you will remember it all anyway. As long as you start the study guide a few days prior to the tests, you will do fine. 5 tests, not bad if you do your work.

Great Professor! If you want to understand Anatomy, review the Powerpoints at least 2 twice and follow along with the notes he provides. UNDERSTAND THE MATERIAL because you will get confused on Test. Yes, the exams are difficult but if you study hard you will understand. He does provides all notes, powerpoints, and study guides.

There is a lot of supplemental material provided, that was overwhelming at first. Plenty of extra credit available to help with bad test scores. Grading criteria is straightforward. Study guides are on point, but the final is through ProctorU and a little annoying.

I took Dr. Scialli during a spring semester online class. He is by far one of the BEST professors I have ever taken! He provides multiple sources for learning, gives great exam reviews so you WILL know what is on the test, and allows for one low test score to be replaced. Study lecture videos, review sheets and chapter notes and you WILL pass!!!

The ONLY grades we had were the 4 tests + ProctorU final. NOTHING else. Bad test taker/don't study you won't pass. Prof. provides voice-over ppt lectures, notes, several addtl. videos to help understand the material. There's a study guide for each exam but you have to understand the concept not just memorize, there's several trick questions.

Study study! His final is based on the last section which is section 5, I would recommend studying the section 5 study guide he provides as it has exact questions from the final but of course he implicitly stated there was no study guide for the final. Even though the section 5 study guide was the final. He likes to trick students!

If you're taking BSC2086 online then his notes and voice-over recording lectures is very important. His lectures are very easy to understand; he breaks down every single detail. There are 5 exams in total, and again if you take notes and watch the voice-over recording lectures, you will definitely pass. This class is an easy A if you pay attention.

Dr. Scialli's Anatomy course was great. If you don't read the text or listen to the lectures, then you will not pass. Everything you need to know is in the lectures, and he makes even the most difficult content easy to understand. His study guides are basically the exam, so there is no reason not to get an A in his course. Take his class!

The class was hard until i found out his teaching style. There is no homework, only exams. I made "b" in his class, most of my class made a c. IMO his exams didn't match the study guides, but you can still learn from them. Don't just memorize the answers on study guide, learn the concepts if you want an A.

Focus on studying his study guides. He likes to trick you. Pay close attention to the questions/answers on the tests. I learned alot from his online lectures, he does a good job. A trickster though.

Dr. Scialli is so organized. He literally gives you a weekly study plan. Study guides are very relative to exams IMO. Understand the concepts b/c he plays with wording. A&P itself is tough. Fair grader & offers Extra credit. w/ 70% lazy effort, made it out with an A. Wish I took him for A&P2! He literally paves the way for you, no reason to fail.
