Comment:

I loved Dr. Wahba! Dont let the bad reviews fool you. As long as you put in effort and study for his class you will be fine. He is so funny and tells you good ways to remember things for the test. His tests have extra credit questions which are very helpful. There is no homework except for quizzes online which are due the day of the test.

I have Dr Wahba for this semester and he is one of my favorite professors! People dont put the effort they need to for this class thats why most complain and fail or drop/w. This class is really easy if you put in the time and effort. There is NO hw (just connect quizzes for each chapter) and he puts 10 bonus questions for all of his exams.

I have him for this semester and I love his class. A&P is not as difficult as people say, you just have to put the time and effort for it. He has 5 exams and lowest drops. He adds 10 bonus questions to his exams and lab exams. He does not give any HW, only a quiz for each chapter that are all online. I would not take A&P w/ any other prof

Comment:

Super difficult class! Getting an A is possible but dont expect to get one without putting in the effort outside of class. Wahba just reads off the slides and labs arnt really helpful. He tells you what to study for tests and practical but they are extremely specific and difficult. Dont get caught on your phone he will YELL at you and make a scene!

He starts the semester off very tough probably to weed people out. Its possible to pass but you have to teach yourself. He is very demeaning to students. Good luck to any and all students who take him.

He wasn't much help with any question, very demeaning. Only go for his class if you thrive under a "teaching yourself environment"

Basically one of the worst teachers I have ever had. I wish I stayed home and stared at a wall because I would have learned more and saved money. He is hard to understand, teaches off what he already wrote, no specificity, definitely way better teachers to choose from. If you want to waste time and money though, sign right up!

It seems like I teach myself. He literally teaches directly from the slides. He knows the material is tough and the course is fast paced but he says "oh well, it's life". I WILL NEVER TAKE HIS CLASS AGAIN.

Comment:

So far he is a great professor! He is a little difficult to understand in lecture, but he is very straight forward about what to study for the tests and offers extra assisngments and quizzes online to help you prepare. Those are harder than the tests. Put in the effort to study otherwise youll fail. He is there to help his students who seek him!

Comment:

I don't even know where to start. This professor is unbelievably tough. Non-native English speaker who decks points for wording differently than he would've (not wrong, by the way, just different). Do poorly on one thing and you've basically shot yourself in the foot for the rest of the semester. Do yourself a favor and just don't sign up for this.

Comment:

Dr. Wahba is a challenge, and not particularly nice about life issues. Don't expect to use your cell phone or go to the bathroom- he will publicly humiliate you for it. Not the worst guy, not an unpassable class, lectures were interesting and useful. Learned a lot, but hated every assignment and test.

Comment:

Wahba is a awesome person & Im sure to most a great professor. Im not saying he isnt but for me during lectures it was sometimes hard to understand him. It was a good thing he had very detailed PowerPoint slides. Also on lab days for the most part it felt like we were teaching our selves he wasnt thorough with what he wanted you to do.

Comment:

We started with about 25 students at the end of the semester there were only 11 left. You have to do the work, you have to read and prepare yourself for the tests. He tests you on your ability to apply the knowledge you learned not just memorizing vocabulary. He is a good teacher but it's real college course, he is not giving the grade away.

Comment:

Tue-Thur; 80-minute lectures from powerpoint with no variation. Difficult exams. I recommend reading the book cover to cover. Do extra credit online, saved me. No makeup exams - I was in ER and he still gave me a 0, but drops lowest grade. I was still infuriated about it. Taught us at pre-med level despite us being Biology non-majors. Learned a lot

Ended up having to take this class w/ Wahba b/c it was the only class still open. If you have to take this class, my 2 suggestions are: READ THE TEXTBOOK + DO THE EXTRA CREDIT. The extra credits are 3-4 quizzes for each test (13 quizzes total).They're worth more than 1 test and it's pretty easy to find the answers online txtbook. Saved my grade!

The only way you will pass this class is by reading the book. By the end of the semester over half the kids dropped the class and all of my study friends ended up failing. As long as you read the book you will be fine, it prepares you for your harder upcoming classes.

Comment:

I registered late for the class and ended up being forced to pick Wahba. I was worried due to his rating. This class is hard, but he brings the test to class and tells you what to study. I studied and did well. You have to put in work for this. The hw is harder than test. go to open lab for practical. STUDY. Don't expect to be handed a good grade.
