Amazing class!!!Includes really interesting information, highlights important points throughout the lecture, you only need to buy the lab manual, room for error in the class because there are bonus opportunities on lab quizzes. Class is totally doable just do the work! Look over lecture slides BEFORE class and then go to class and listen to them.

Comment:

He was extremely vague about what you needed to know for exams, and the exams covered an impossible amount of material. You basically had to have the entire textbook memorized verbatim to even have a chance at passing exams and lab quizzes. Showing up for class was pointless. Non engaging. It was like listening to someone read a textbook to you.

I am currently managing an A in this class BUT it does not come easy. Any and every piece of information I know has been because Ive taught myself. Dont bother coming to class if you dont want to because all he does is read word for word off 200 plus slide PowerPoints. Buy the book and follow along w that because he doesnt know how teach.

Comment:

To give this guy credit, he does know his stuff. BUT he makes this class way more difficult than it needs to be. You could know the answer to his quiz questions but if you even spell one letter wrong, he marks the entire thing wrong and you get no points. He also acts like this is the only class students are taking. Not recommended.

I took Dr. Baga for both sections of A&P and I'm so glad that I did. His exams and quizzes are fair, his lectures are extremely intriguing filled with extra information to peak our interests, he's funny, I spent the more time on both of his classes than any other but that just made my end grade more worthwhile. Do the studyguide and work hard.

Comment:

anatomy and physiology 1. He is the worst professor i have ever had. The lab study guides never match up with the actual lab quizzes. You study so much for absolutely nothing. He yells at you for asking questions and will flat out call you stupid. He barely teaches. Avoid his class at all costs.

Comment:

Dr. Baga is a great choice for a professor. You have to pay attention during lectures though or you're screwed. His study guides mean nothing for quizzes and tests, but PAY ATTENTION TO THE HIGHLIGHTED STUFF. It's verbatim his test questions. You also need your lab book, not the textbook, just use his notes.

Comment:

To be fare he is a nice person, however his teaching style needs great improvement. All he does is read word for word off PowerPoints. He'll highlight things of importance in the lecture slides and In study guides but on the exam there will likely be at least 7 questions that's not "highlighted ". His lab class is especially difficult for no reason

Dr. Baga is the best professor I have had this far in college. He's extremely knowledgeable, exams and quizzes are fair, lectures are well organized with highlighted slides. Dr baga clearly spends a lot of time on his lectures, he adds material, videos, helpful diagrams etc. anyone who has the opportunity and the work ethic should take him.

This man is HORRIBLE. He gives lectures that are hard to follow and he doesn't really explain. You teach yourself. Study guides are no help and half the words are spelled wrong. He says the info you need to know is in your slides. Well, ITS NOT. Just use the book and online sources if you have to take the class. Would not recommend this guy.

Baga was one of my favorite professors. He explains things well in the lectures. The labs go over what we learned in lectures so it really helps you remember the information. He really cares about students and he will take time to talk to you individually. One-on-One time with him is the best way to get an A in the class. He WILL help you ! :)

Comment:

Not clear at all, accent, if you don't understand him he tells you to "learn English." Not in the least bit helpful, expects you to teach yourself physiology as he rambles on in class about topics that won't be on exam. Let me put it this way, most of the people in my class (a majority) dropped the course in the first week. Terrible.

Comment:

Baga is great! He is hard to understand at first but as you get use to it it's no problem, and I'm terrible with accents. This class is really worth the $ bcuz he explains things in ways that help you grasp the concept rather then just stating facts. Also he has set up the class to help future nurses be the best they can be. Thus its not easy

Dr. Baga is a great teacher. He expects a lot but if you do the work you will walk away ready for a graduate class. He is extreamly helpful and nice. Easy grader and realistic. The test questions were exactly as they apeared in the lecture slides. Go over all the questions and you will get an A.

Although the class was insanely time consuming.. I learned valuble lab techniques. He was an easy grader, he relizes how much time you spend on each assignment and gave almost full points to most in the class. Very nice guy
