Comment:

Worst online course EVER! 10-22 hours per week of lectures recorded from a class 4 years ago. Fully 1/3 of it was like being subjected to sexual harassment. He's constantly talking about wishing he was "hard". He would specifically say "This next bit of information is not important) and then 20% of the exam was what he'd said to disregard. AWFUL!

Comment:

Professor Colombo is a good teacher. Very responsive and helpful. Tests are 93% from his study guide so no real need to purchase the text book. You do have to study however, but you have plenty of resources to help you. Took the class online. These students who comment negatively about him just don't want to put in the required effort.

I took his Anatomy 1 Class. He is a great Professor!! He explains difficult concepts really well and uses real world examples. His tests are always curved too.

Comment:

If you intend on learning anything about the second, and more difficult, portion of Anatomy and Physiology please avoid this professor. I can not speak for his non-online course, but I can tell you that taking his online course is a death sentence. DO NOT TAKE ANYTHING ONLINE WITH COLOMBO!!!

Very HARD, DONT TAKE ONLINE CLASS, MAKES YOU PURCHASE EXTRA BOOK "STUDY GUIDE" COSTS $70.00... DID NOT HELP AT ALL, HE WROTE THIS STUDY GUIDE HIMSELF, IM SURE HE MAKES PROFIT FROM THIS THATS WHY HE RECOMMENDS THIS BOOK. OVERALL THIS CLASS IS VERY HARD, HIS TESTS ARE HARD, SO MUCH INFORMATION, HE EXPECTS YOU TO KNOW IT ALL WITH LITTLE DIRECTION!

Comment:

Terrible teacher, lectures are rambling and off topic his humor is also offensive, gets touchy when you ask for help seems to feel you should already know the answer and never have to ask for clarity, got a B in the class after a heavy curve. Do not bother with this class if you want to learn anything if you just want to memorize notes, have fun.

Comment:

I took this course as on online class and it was awful. His lectures were normally very off topic and didn't help at all in preparing for his ridiculous tests. Even with studying 2+ hours a day, I was baffled on most of the questions we were tested on. I learned more about his wife than anything. He should teach at a doctorate level, not basic.

Comment:

If you get stuck with this teacher here are some guidelines. Don't buy the book, READ ONLY HIS LECTURE NOTES AND READ EVERYTHING FROM THOSE NOTES.I am I being clear? His tests are from the notes but they are very hard. Ignore the highlighted stuff just read everything. His notes aren't clear sometimes neither are his self tests. Very hard, avoid.

Comment:

AVOID AT ALL COSTS! I took this class & failed it twice, however I have passed the lab with a "B" & passed the same class, on a vovational level, with a "B". HIGHLY unorganized & the study material does NOT match what is offered on the tests! The book is irrelevant, as EVERYTHING on the tests is in his unorganized study guide! STAY AWAY!!!

Comment:

In addition if you are not willing to put in the time then do not take his class. You may get a B, but that is just settling. You want that A - better be prepared to memorize your but off. For the benefit of learning, read the book. For passing his class, memorize his guide. Nice guy - he just needs to do something about that stupid guide of his.

Comment:

Avoid at all cost - got an A for his class, but I studied my $$ off. I knew the material well because I read and watch vids. Learning the material is one thing but in order to pass his class, you have to memorize his incoherent study guide. U might be better off not knowing a thing and just memorize his one word association matching questions.

Comment:

THE CLASS IS HARD, BUT IT IS WORTH IT IF YOU REALLY NEED TO HAVE THE BASIC CONCEPT ABOUT ANATOMY...JUST MAKE SURE TO UNDERSTAND HIS STUDY GUIDE. AND DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE DAY BEFORE TO STUDY SINCE THE MATERIAL IS VERY EXTENSIVE. A STUDY GROUP HELPS A LOT . LOVED THE CLASS IM GONNA TAKE HIM FOR A&P 2

Comment:

The obvious...class is hard, study a lot. The not so obvious (and kind of creepy), Dr. C rating himself. Check it out, 1 or 2 ratings every couple of months or so. It's clearly him with only things he'd say. Repetitive "Hot"s "failure"s! The result, inflated ratings - Proceed with cation :)

Comment:

He is a really nice guy, but talks bout his wife most of the class. He goes off topic every other sentence and explains things that he doesnt test on. I dropped his class and would not reccommend him unless you can study without a professors help.

Comment:

professor colombos tests and classes are insane! this is for a post grad med student, not a a&p1 student. half the students dropped by mid-term-only 4 tests for the whole grade. his own study guide is overly complecated and i was told the whole test came from the study guide-it didnt. i saw things on there i never saw in class or on the book.BEWARE

Horrible professor! the worse I have ever had! not helpful. Very rude. His tests are extremely hard and unless you're doctor you can not get a good grade. Seriously! take him only if you're willing to study 7 hours a day for his class.

Comment:

My only problem with Dr. C is that his manual have errors. I have to keep reading the textbook b/c I do not trust his notes! He told me that the text was wrongnot his notes! If you're gonna be an occupational therapist like him I guess it doesn't matter. His tests were easy, but like I said his material have errors, trust me!!!!

Comment:

OMG - absolute hardest class I've ever taken. I got an A in AΠ I'm failing this class right now. My total points are around 20, the class avg is 17.4. That has to tell you something. I've studied my *ss off for this and its just impossible. DO NOT TAKE HIM (ESPECIALLY ONLINE). No extra credit or credit for anything but the test.
