Comment:

Great teacher, by far the easiest when coming to Anatomy and Physiology. He isnt always the clearest and has a heavy accent but his extra credit and study guide for the tests make it unbelievably easy to get an A. There is isn't a slack class but if I can get a 100% in the class anyone can.

Comment:

Take him while you can! Is he easy? No. Tons of memorization? Yes but that's the nature of this sort of class. We just have to memorize some of this & there's no way around it. He is reasonable, tells you what you need to know for his tests, tons of extra cred opportunities. If it comes with a few corny jokes, I'll gladly take it over a jerk.

I sdore Prof Torres. I am so sad he is retiring after Fall '11. He was instrumental in my decision to change my major from nursing to pre-med. he class is not easy at all, but he makes it as easy as possible to make an A!! Study the PTRs & his CD, and start memorizing the bones in the skull and all the mucles now!! He's the BEST!!

Comment:

This class was hard. He would assign stuff off the top of his head and then when it came down to it, he said something else. He offered alot of extra credit that you need to do to get an A. His jokes were corny and got really annoying.. I would not take him again

Took him for A&PI in Fall '10. Great class for visual learners. Barely used book, but bought & used his CD - well worth it! Funny, helpful and really cares about students. Not an easy subject but if you study & attempt the various forms of extra credit-it's good as gold. I walked away with my A, very happy and prepared for A&P II.

Comment:

I think Professor Torres is AWESOME!!!! There is hardly any reading out of the book, he only wants you to read what he tells you to read, which isn't much. Study his CD and his PTR's from his website and you will get an A on his tests. He gives a lot of extra credit. I don't recommend you buy the Lab book until you attend class, we didn't use it.

Comment:

Prof.Torres is way F-ing cool! He knows his material like the back of his metacarpals. Keeps class interesting and entertaining. Because anatomy is an extremely challenging subject, be prepared to study like your life depends on it. Attempt ALL extra credit opportunities he gives you. If you're going into a health related field, you want this guy.

Comment:

Prof. Torres has an exceptional way of making a subject that I was not familiar with, easy to understand, with plenty of visual and audio aids. If you do the work sheets in the lab manual you will have a better understanding of the material. Will need lab book for slides. He does reviews the day before the tests and will you understand material.

Mr. Torres is a very educated man and a fun teacher!With that said he gives TONS of info and uses his handouts, cds, book, and notes- when it comes to studying there is a lot of material to cover. He does not give a review he will test on every thing and he expects you to devote all your time to his class! Its too much with not enough time

HE IS ALL ABOUT MEMORIZATION BUT THANKS TO THAT ILL NEVER FORGET THE STEPS IN PROTEIN SYTHESIS. LABS EXAMS ARE FUN AND HE PRACTICALLY GIVES YOU THE ANSWERS. LOVE HIM!!!!

Mr. "T" is the man! His class is really informative and he prepares you not only for 2402, but a career in the medical field. You do have to learn alot of info, but its college and that is expected. Honestly I am a high school drop-out and I made an "A" with no problem. So if your head is in the right place, you will be fine!

He comes off as mean but he is a great teacher! He makes the information very clear and uses a lot of computer programs. He gives quizzes online, but the information comes off of his programs! He makes sure someone is always available for tutoring!

Comment:

Mr. Torres I'm writing this in hopes that you will read this and reconsider your style of teaching. Although learning is memorization, it helps when there is a teacher present and enforing the facts. This class should be an online course because of the fact that there is no teaching involved. Everything is done by the student, you teach youself.
