Take this teacher if you can, he is good. His lecture notes and study guide are online and makes things alot easier. He is also very readily available to answer questions you might have.
He is very helpful and you should definatly his class!!!
he is very helpful. You should definitely take him. He is very approachable, and he is willing to help you whatever he can. You can count on him. Tests are easy if you really focus on his class. Exam notes help a lot to pass all the test.i recommend him.
Gives out study guides for tests!
He is very clear about what he expects you to know. Study what he goes over and you'll do fine. He will explain something to you untill you understand it. So helpful and nice. Great, great professor.
This professor is the best I have ever had. He is very interested in the success of all of his students from day one. He gives lecture notes and exam study guides all online. The exam questions come directly from the study guides. You must take him.
What an fantastic professor. Does EVERYTHING in his power to see that his students pass. The best I have ever had!!!
He is the most amazing man and it is very apparent that he loves his job and his students. As long as I live he will always be an instrumental part of my love for A and P. YOU MUST take him for he is the best I have ever had in my life!!!!!!
Very nice professor, very helpful, has all the lectures online, uses study guides which are similar to the actual test. Easy LAB. Take him, you never regret it. He is the best of all.
Very good teacher!
If you can't get an A in his class, you actually tried not to. Study guides, etc. are provided so test content is predetermined. He is funny and keeps one's interest. A good teacher. Highly Recommended.

AWESOME TEACHER!!! He really knows his stuff, lectures are very interesting and he really cares about his students. Study guides make it nearly impossible to do poorly on his exams, gives extra credit that helps so much!! Can't go wrong taking him!! Not bad eye candy if you're into FILF's.
GREAT! GREAT! GREAT! Dr. Scialli is the best teacher at HCC! A&P 2 is a HARD subject, and I understand it because his lectures , class notes, and study guides are the BEST! Take him if you want to understand this subject.
Love Him! His study guides are the exact questions that the test will be. I actually understand A&P II. One of the best professors at HCC.
He is the best teacher in the world. if you study his study guides you will get an easy A in the class. he is clear and very, very, very funny. great guy.
Worse teacher ever. He is a mess. I believe that he is writing his own ratings, because that is a lie. I took him and let me tell you, he does not know how to teach. Run while you can, or lose your money.
Great professor. I really could understand and follow what he taught. He loves what he does and it shows. He will go the extra yard for you. The tests are not easy you have to study but with his study guides you can at least narrow it down. Best teacher I ever had. Not bad looking either.
Dr. Scialli is the best professor I have had at HCC. He knows his stuff, enjoys what he does, provides study guides for all tests,and provides notes. Great experience being in his lecture and lab.
He is the best best professor I ever had.
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.
I HIGHLY reccommend this prof!! This course is generally very difficult. Yes, you must study...but he makes it as simple for you as he can without making it so easy that you dont have to work for an A at all. His questions on the tests are ALL taken DIRECTLY from the study guides. The tests have 50 questions, all mult. choice. Wonderful man!!!
Awesome Teacher, Awesome HE is so helpful. You just have to study hard do the study guide and you will get a A. He gives the study guide and some answers the rest you have to find, HE picks the exact questions from the study guide. I love him !!!!!
He is the best. It appears to me that his goal is to have everyone succeed providing you do your part. He gives you a study guide for both lecture and lab. If you fail it's simply because you are brain dead!
work hard at the study guide. find out the answers and why it is the right answer and u will get an A.
Wonderful teacher and very clear about what he expects!
he is nothing short of an awesome teacher!! I was told to take him by many students and i don't reget it at all ! his classes fill up fast as hell so if your lucky enough hurry up and get it!
Anat is hard, but this teacher makes it easier to digest. His study guides can be hard to fill out but once you have the correct anwsers, study from that back and forth and you will do fine. Hes helpful and understanding. Hes by far one of the best professors for Anat at Dale Maybry. I recommend taking ormrod at brandon for lab though!!!
This was a tough course, but Dr. Scialli made the material so easy to grasp. He provided detailed lecture notes on his website and discussed them in class accompanied with visual aids, and for each test he provided a study guide. I definitely recommend him. If you keep up with his lectures, and study the study guides thoroughly you'll pass his clas
Very knowledgeable professor, really knows his material. Is very thorough in explaining subject matter. You do not need a book in this class as the test come directly from his notes and the sutdy guide he provides. Highly recommended.
Dr. Scialli is a great professor who has a lot of knowledge. He makes his classes very easy to understand. Register for his class as soon as registration starts 'cause it fills up quickly. Even if you don't care about this class you will learn a lot with him.
This is the best Anatomy course I have ever taken. Dr. Scialli literlly hands students the course with all the tools possibly needed to study and get a good grade. If you need to take a biological science take this professor!
If you need to take this course, then you MUST take Dr. Scialli. His lectures are interesting, and he gives a study guide when starting a section, then the answers 4-5 days before the test. There is a lot of information to know, but he gives you the necessary tools to succeed. He also gives you all of his powerpoint notes and pictures online.
Dr. Scialli is one of the best Anatomy professors at HCC. I would recommend his class to anyone! He's a very helpful teacher and will explain in fuller detail if you need him to! You never use your book because his test are directly from the study guides and also his notes. Fairly easy for an Anatomy class!
Awsome!
the lecture class was alot of studying but easy as long as you study all his 100 question review sheet. I dont recommend to take him for lab its very confusing, he does not use multiple choice for each question. He combines all the mult. choice answers on a seperate sheet.
This guy is the best. Loves what he's doing and it shows. Interesting lectures. All class notes are online so you can really focus on his lecture. Go to class, pay attention, study your notes and DO THE PRACTICE EXAMS. Check that, MEMORIZE THE PRACTICE EXAMS. THEY ARE THE TESTS!!!
I have not been in school for over 10 years. Dr. Scialli came highly recommended. Excellent teacher. Gives you a lot of study notes, so you don't have to follow the book. Very helpful and thorough in his explainations. Be prepared to study and understand the material, don't just memorize it. Great Teacher, Got an A.
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.
Great professor! I just happened to luck out and get his class with no prior knowledge of his reputation. He truly wants his students to succeed. When a person likes what they do, it shows and HCC students who take his class benefit. I am taking him for A&P II as well.
I am commenting on 1085L, intitally I thought I would lose my mind with all those pictures, but after taking the first test it was not the end of the world, make sure you study the pictures from hawknet (thoroughly) and a good ided would be to time yourself in trying to identify the slides we wants to you know, he starts with 4 or five slides and i
Good professor - really knows the material. Lecture notes and PPT's are provided in shared files, as are study guides. Do not rely completely on the study guides - the questions are turned around on the test. Know the material, read the corresponding chapters and study his notes as well. Very detailed tests. Worked my butt off for a low B.
He is a GREAT professor!He really knows the material.He uses his own notes and powerpoint pictures.he gives you an exam review that really helps you study for the test(dont think u can just study the review and get an A)you really have to study the material and know it.if you look over the material for 20 min a day and study the review u should get
really knows his stuff, has his own pp lectures. Offers extra credit. Study the review and will learn alot in this class!
He is one of the best professors at HCC. A&P isn't an easy class but he gives you all the tools to be successful. He has all notes, study guides for exams, power points online, and even offers tutoring. As long as you study everything he provides you will get an A.
WOW! He's awesome. Really knows his stuff! Keeps class interesting. He explains everything SO crystal clear. Uses pwrpnt presentation and helpful study guides. I won't say it's an easy course, but you couldn't get a better teacher! I'm finished with an A :) Take him!
He's great! So smart and funny. He brks everything down into a simplistic form, soo crystal clear. Great study guide, very helpfull. A+ Dr Scialli!! Take him. It's not an easy class, but couldn't ask for a btr Prfsr! I finished w/an A !!
Great teacher who gives very informative info. He gives you ALL the tools to pass his class including class notes online and a study guide. As long as you put EFFORT into the class and STUDY, it shouldn't be too difficult.
Dr. Scialli is the BEST teacher. The material is a bit complicated but he is always there to help. He puts all the material that he uses to teach online for us to review from. His test are easy as long as you study. I wish all teachers were as helpful as he is. I definitely recommend him to everyone. I am taking him again for anatomy 2.
his study guilds are kinda like the exam, so if u study just the guild u'r guaranteed at least a C. he's repeats himself over and over again so his material registers in ur head
The professor is really good. Very visual and easy to learn. He gives a study guide and an answer key, but if you want an A you have to understand the concepts. I can only recommend him.
Great professor!! very clear, visual & good examples to better understand the concept. Very important to work on the study guide, don't wait for the answer key.It is a lot to digest and learn. He switches a lot of questions from the study guide, dont memorize it!! Tests are not that easy, you have to study and get the concept. I loved his class.
Lectures are interesting but he doesn't seem to have much interest in students who go to him for help after class. He seemed reluctant to stay in his office for students who needed extra help. He has study guides to help for exams but won't go over the answers until the day before the exam.
Although Dr. Scialli is an exceptional professor, the subject matter is complex. He provides you with notes and he explains everything in simple language. He is extremely passionate about his teaching. He is a very nice professor, but you definitely have to study to make the grade. He gives you materials, but you HAVE to know the stuff!!
Had him for LAB. Exceptional professor! Study his power points and you'll ace his tests! I'm finishing up his lab with an A, and just enrolled in his Lecture and Lab for A & P II!!
Great Teacher..Miserably UNFAIR person!! when he says no retakes he only means if he doesnt like you, when he says he wont cushion ur final grade at all again that is only if he doesnt like you. plays HIGH favoritism. Be an Older woman and you are solid in his class.
Prof. Scialli is simply the best! He explains everything in simply terms and all his exams reflects discussions he went over in class. He is fair and gives you all the opportunity to be successful. He is extremely helpful an is very funny. I had him for lecture and lab 1086 and could not have made a better choice. Texting and sleeping = failure
Prof. Scialli is the best A&P Professor at HCC period. He is very passionate about teaching and breaks everything down in simple terms. The subject matter is very difficult and it is up to us as students to study. He provides notes and study guiides, once you study and pay attention in class(no texting) there is no way you can fail. He is the best.
Really great professor. He explains the subject well by breaking it down to the very basic level so everyone can understand. He has pictures and ppt's that the students have access to. Responds to email extremely quickly. Grades are given a few hrs after the exam. This guy can't do wrong. I recommend him to anyone that needs to take A&P I and II.
Dr. Scialli simply amazing! Don't waste your time if you're not really trying to learn the material.
Dr. Scialli is one of the best of the best prof. I've had at HCC.Really enjoys to teach. Gives you stugy guides, powerpoints. If you don't do good, its because you didn't want to.. TAKE HIM......
I took Dr. Scialli for BSC1085 and I passed with an A.But BSC 1086 was a lil harder. He is great porf. knows his stuff. I wish he would teach Micro. TAKE HIM. Study and you'll get an A.
I took Dr. Scialli for both AP I and II.Hands down, he is the best prof. at HCC.He truly cares and wants you to learn. His passion about what he is teaching is evident in his delivery of sometimes difficult material.He breaks it down so that anyone can understand. Go to class, pay attention, get yourself a voice recorder, study and you'll do fine!
Dr. Scialli makes learning A&P interesting and entertaining. This is by no means an easy course, but if you put in effort and follow the power points and notes that he has provided you can make an A. =)
He's a great, nice professor, but he is a DVM so I warn you he is difficult! He wants you to KNOW the information, not just memorize it. I am struggling to maintain a "B". Throws A LOT of information at you, would be nice if he pared down the info a bit. 50 question tests, min XC, no quizzes, MUST PUT LOTS OF EFFORT TO GET AN A OR B! NOT AN EASY A!
I just got done with A&P2 and I think he is an excellent professor. He give you his powerpoint and notes and the study guide on blackboard, so all you have to do is go to class and study. My advise is to record him. He knows his stuff, and he compares the body to things in real life to make you understand it better. his test isnt easy tho
Mr. Scialli is very passionate about what he teaches. You can tell he loves what he does because he knows his stuff! The course itself is not easy, but he gives you PPT's + Study guides + Lecture Notes. I would recommend him to anyone who has to take A&P. I have taken him for 2 semesters and would take him again if he taught Micro.
Dr. Scialli is a very difficult teacher however this is because he is preparing you for the programs you will be entering. He is there when you need him. He sets up his tests just like state board exams. This will give you an idea if the program you are pursuing is something you can do.
I took Dr. Scailli for both 1085 lecture and lab, and 1086 lecture. He is an excellent professor and although his class is far from easy he provides lecture notes, power points, and study guides with the keys that help keep up with his pace. His material is easy to understand because he helps visualize what he is teaching with relatable examples.
I found Dr S to be very boring and I couldn't stay focused at all.I took him for API(which I found him to be ok in unlike AP II. Your grade consist of 5 exams and nothing else!
Very nice and clear and he makes it easy for you to understand the material. This man makes science so much fun!
I took this professor because of all the great reviews he had on here but I quickly saw they weren't true. He makes you believe the class will not be as difficult as other people have told you and he gives you stats of his previous class grades. On our first exam almost 40% of the class failed and he didn't think it was a big deal.
This is a tough class that you need to study for. The professor will not give you an A if you don't earn it. Everything he goes over in class and what is in the review he provides is on the exam. I would not take any other professor. Highly recommend him.
Dr. Scialli is a great professor. He really knows his stuff and I really respect him for it. It is in now wayan easy class, because there is so much material to memorize, but he provides all of that for you. He is also more than willing to help out any student in his office hours. I highly recommend this professor ! :)
Great professor. He is very knowledgeable and is very kind hearted. Your grade in lab consists of 4 test total. Not an easy A but if you study his powerpoints and the manual, theres no reason why you shouldn't receive an A.
If you need to take Anatomy, I highly recommend this particular professor. He is the best at HCC for those type of classes. Dr. Scialli will provided all for you in order to be successful in his class, and allows recorded the lecture as well. However, be prepared to study hard, but do miss this guy. he is awesome
I got an A in this class but it was not easy. He is really good at what he does and he tells you from the beginning that the material is difficult. He tries as hard as he can to help and gives extra credit at the end. I am def taking him for A&p 2
Took Scialli for Anatomy 2 Lab. He thoroughly explains everything as simply as possible, gives study guides, and posts the class slides. For his Lab class exams, you need to have a good working knowledge of the material because tests are done over the projector. He's a great teacher, but there's no getting around that A & P is hard.
He gives you study guides that have all of the info on it but dose not always test you on it. He is not helpful at all and moves very fast on all of his verbal test. There is no point in buying the book for lab because you never use it its for reference. You have to study his study his slides. I wouldn't recommend him at all!!
Forget the last comment. This Professor is AWESOME!! He gives you the exact slides you need to study...SO STUDY THEM!he's providing the info you need to pass his class. He cares & it shows.
his grades are based on 4 exams, you won't need the lab manual, I had a bad experience with him and will never take him again, I took his anatomy lab and he made it feel like I was taking a 3credit class but it really is worth 1, his class is not easy! WORST TEACHER I HAVE EVER HAD
I can't even beginto explain how hateful this old man is. I took him for my lab classes, they are extremely hard. his exams are exactly the same every year. He tests you on the hardest levels ever. His class are long, dull boron BORING. Sure he explains everything wellI guess but he is very dull. My interest level went way down. I got a C.
Awesome prof! Don't know what these ppl are taking about? This class will never be an Easy A it's a tough sub. & a lot of material. He gives reviews if u study and don't just memorize the ans. u'll pass. If there's an image he focuses on make sure u know what it all means. When u get into your programs u'll appreciate prof. like this.
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.
Horrible. Just, horrible. Might as well sign up for a second lecture..
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. Then will tell you he wanted you to be knowledgable if you were his nurse. Think twice before you pick him up!!! His demeanor and teaching style are slightly better when he records his lect
If you want to be downgrade, humiliated in a A&P Lab II that worth 1 credit and is treated as lecture or even higher then instructor Scialli is the right choice for you. My friendly advice is STAY AWAY!
Professor Scialli is a great lab teacher. Literally study the slides and use his checklist for his exams and you get an easy A. Literally study the pictures on the slideshows and that's 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.
I don't want to take his class ever. I did take his class and I realized that it is worst class ever.
Amazing teacher. Study the study guide and listen to the lectures and you'll be an A student. I took this online and it was a breeze.
Online hybrid run! There is five test no extra credit you are giving a minute to answer a question on the test. You have been warned run!
I actually liked this class more than I thought I would. All of his tests come from his lectures and power points. I would definitely take his class again
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!!!
Professor Scialli online class is very easy. However the test are fast and most of the questions come from the study guide or powerpoint.
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!
Dr. Scialli is the best professor for online anatomy and physiology. His lectures and notes are very detailed and he provides so many extra resources in case you don't understand. As long as you take advantage of all that he provides, you will do good on the final.
Lab Booklet body part images had literally nothing to do with the lab exam, and this class has over 200 powerpoints for each section and there 4 sections, and your expected to remember everything or else you fail, goodluck.
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!
Pretty great teacher actually! He gives you a study guide to work on following the material outlined in the course. Just do your work and study. Its almost impossible to fail!
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.
The only grades are the tests. Only a couple of them are proctored. I did bad in the beginning bc I'm not good with lectures or studying. There's lectures, ppts, and study guides. The tests are heavily based on study guides, which helped me bring my grades back up and understand better what kind of questions and material will be on the tests.
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. His goal is to prepare you for upper levels but you must know your stuff. Focus on the study guides and powerpoint.
If you are not a good test taker DO NOT take this class ! Your grade will be on tests ONLY.
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.
