Reviews of professor Joseph Comber

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
I've taken Dr. Comber both during the academic year and the summer. He's kind and understanding and wants you to learn and pass the class. ANP is just an extremely hard class that involves memorizing every single detail in the super long lectures and labs. But it's possible to pass the class with a high grade as long as you study every single day.

Just a really tough class. Thought it would be an easy MSE but clearly I was wrong. Save yourself some effort and take literally any other science class

Best MSE class at Nova. Don't listen to the reviews from a few years ago. He got rid of quizzes and replaced them with papers and projects. Labs are also ungraded and stress-free. Definitely take! Don't put yourself through another astronomy or physics MSE.

Where to begin? This was one of the best classes I've ever taken. Dr. Comber knows that if you're taking the MSE you're not the best at science and he adjusts his lectures to really focus on current events and social impacts. As long as you participate and engage in the material, you will do fine. I promise. Take this class!

Dr. Comber teaches anatomy for nursing and also Micro Bio and Genetics. Classes are lecture heavy, but if you put in the work tests are easy and straight forward in both classes. He truly cares about his students and making sure everyone does well and isn't swamped between the 2 classes.

Great professor and amazing person overall. He is incredibly understanding and kind. The class is super interesting and he teaches it in a way that makes you have fun. Absolutely the best MSE.

Great lecturer for Anatomy. Never got boring. Pay attention in class. Exams are very content-heavy.

This course is probably the worst MSE at Nova. Thought it would be on the easier side, but it is the hardest class I've taken here. Very hard to do well, lots of extra info, confusing labs, please for the love of God don't put yourself through this

Comber is generally nice, but anatomy just sucks. Out of everyone on the A&P Staff, he's definitely the best, but the bar is not very high. He does want us to do well and succeed, but the class is just not structured for anyone to do very well.

Dr. C is probably my favorite professor at this school. Super chill, flexible, and makes an effort to get to know each of his students. Labs are very low-stakes and fun. Instead of exams, we have three papers and one or two projects. If you want to learn about vaccines and are in need of an MSE, take this class. You won't regret it!
