Very good professor, very understanding but he makes sure you have a good understanding in order for you to pass. Very easy to talk to and has a lot of office hours

Comment:

A&P is a very HARD course but I promise you it's NOT the professor. Dr. Sarro is a very intelligent man. He tells you right off the bat if you're not devoting at least 1-2 hours a night studying then you're going to fall behind, since there's A LOT to cover within a short amount of time. If he sees you putting in effort he will respect you.

If you have this professor RUN. DROP OUT. DO ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING YOU CAN TO NOT HAVE THIS MAN AS A PROFESSOR. He is downgrading, not helpful, and doesnt care about you as a student at all. Good luck say a prayer if you have him.

Comment:

Professor Sarro gets a generally bad rep however I really enjoyed his class this semester. Anatomy is not an easy class but it is totally manageable. I recommend doing all the online homework for excellent practice and extra credit. Show you are putting the time in and you will have his respect, a fair teacher. Tests are 50% of grade be careful.

Comment:

Worst professor I have had in my college career. He reads extremely fast through powerpoints, barely explains the information, not helpful when seeking extra help during office hours, & no study guides to help focus the 300-400 slides for each exam. Would not recommend taking his class. I thought people were exaggerating on here but their right

Comment:

The absolute worst professor I ever had during my college career. I do not recommend him to anyone... unless you're a pretty girl with a nice smile. I had the numerical value needed to pass his class and he did not pass me because I "didn't deserve it" no logic or reasoning given. Should be responsi the 5K for extra summer classes I needed to take.

Comment:

the people who hate sarro are also generally the people who are getting drunk on weeknights and every weekend and not studying until they realize their grade is bad. Put the effort in and he'll give the same effort back. Its a hard course but its not because of the professor. (tips: do all the homework, study modules, and read textbook!)

Comment:

If you see this mans name on your schedule RUN, DROP OUT, CHANGE SCHOOLS. Your dreams of any major that involves A&P are gone. Don't even worry about studying because no matter how much you study you WILL fail every test. I promise do not even bother trying this is the worst thing you could ever put yourself through. You may actually commit.

Comment:

I have him for A&P1 Lab and he reads the powerpoint for the first hour, then we have the option to leave if we want. All quizzes are based on memorization. The practicals are all the quizzes jumbled into one. Questions are chosen at random and all quizzes and exams are taken on the computer and you receive your grade immediately.

Comment:

The only thing i can remember from a&p is some analogy about a peanut on a stair and the fact he got bit by a cat once. Couldnt tell you what that meant or what he was talking about. Waste of my time. Basically if it wasnt for another professor i would be taking this class again with this horrible man. Hope you like to read textbooks! SMD Tom

hard class! you have to WORK for your grade, but if you put in the time and effort it will be worth it in the end.I had him for both semesters of A&P I and II and earned an A because I worked my ass off. Do the extra credit and study ALL the power points even the ones he says "aren't important." Reading the textbook+ atlas helpful Good Luck!'

Comment:

This professor is awful. He sits infront of the class the whole time and just reads off his slides. You have 4 final exams basically worth your whole grade and to study for one, you need to pretty much review 400 slides from his powerpoints. He sets his students up for failure

Comment:

Dr. Sarro is a great professor, if you stay on top of your work and devote the 1-2 hours he recommends a night on AP, you will do well in his class. go to his office hours and review your tests, he has more compassion towards the students that put in the time outside of lecture.

great professor but extremely hard, he defiantly makes you work for your grade and isn't very lenient. I noticed him mark a question wrong on a test and he didn't give me the points because he said 2 points is nothing.. but he is a nice guy if you struggle with tests dont take him.

Worst professor ever! You can study every piece of material and study for hours and still fail. His tests are extremely difficult and unfair. They are a guessing game. He does not help you if you go to him he'll just tell you to go see a tutor.

Read read and reread the text, and do aalll of the extra credit although it will take you hours on end and take up most of your free time. You will basically be spending any time you are not in his class studying for his class. Lecture will not help you with his complex test questions, the answers will be in the part of you text you decide to skip

Comment:

Very tough professor. Exams are difficult. Requires a ton of studying to do well. Offers extra credit but requires a lot of work. Very open to help with any questions. Allows you to review exams after they are graded. Lectures are extremely important to attend as they are very helpful and thorough.
