Reviews of professor Jason Higa

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Higa is funny and knowledgeable, he publishes repeatable quizzes, old lecture videos, and fill-in-the-blank notes. I recommend putting in extra hours after class to study these topics since the class is exam-heavy; there are three exams. Overall, he is one of the fairest professors I have had so far, and I definitely recommend the class.

The lectures were fine. He would try and make everything into memes and I can see why he did that but honestly it made me cringe. The exams are basically the only thing in the gradebook which is frustrating when you have to learn so many things so quickly. Dr. Higa is very knowledgeable and dependable but the content can be hard to grasp

Not much homework and very test and quiz heavy. Dr. Higa makes lectures kinda funny and understandable for PHYL 141 and 142. Extra studying is needed but grading overall is simple.

the lecture on certain topic is really funny.  and his mnemonic are really funny and helpful for memorization.  like what everyone is saying, the exam is pretty hard, but there is extra credits.  fun lecture, hard exam, easy hw. the lab is basic almost the same as what we are learning in the lecture depending on the ta.

The professor has great lecture videos but it's a lot of material to learn. You really need to dedicate a lot of your time to studying. His videos are posted on youtube so it's easy to access however there are 3 exams and each is worth 22 percent of your grade. Lecture attendance isn't necessary but it's a BIG help especially if you have questions.

The 3 tests are worth 85% of your grade. They won't be hard if you go to class and take thorough notes. Write down what he says because the pwr points are mostly visual. Do not bother with the study guide. Study from your notes--everything on the tests is what he lectures on. Take advantage of the extra credit points, they make a big difference!

This course can be taken by non nursing majors but unless you absolutely LOVE A&P DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. The homework and quizes are super easy and can be submitted for your highest score but the exams are what matters. Exams make up majority of your grade and they are extremely hard. Dr. J's class is not for the weak.

Although any major can take this class for a DA credit, I do not recommend if you are not a nursing major. The homework and quizes are easy because you can take them multiple times for your best score, but his exams are very hard. There are three exams worth 25% and more of your grade, you have to pass the exams to do well.

He's really good at teaching and makes class interesting. Good sense of humor, makes everyone laugh at least once a class.
