Reviews of professor Ryan Ruiz-Carrington

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He's very chill for a professor so not as strict but will teach throughout the full 1 hr + 40 min and will have quizzes every week, a test every 3-4 weeks, and a lot of hw. He's caring and someone you can joke around with, my class was more fun than any other because Ryan is more relaxed all the time than any other teacher I have ever had.

Hes probably one of the coolest teachers at HCC. He really cares about his students and makes you love anatomy. He encourages studying bc if you dont study, you wont pass. But he makes anatomy interesting and fun instead of dreadful and stressful. He wants you to learn something from this class. So glad i took him for AP2

Hes honestly a chill laid back professor. Hes just boring, monotone, and doesnt know how to teach. He assumes you already have a good background with biology and you cant really follow his lectures. He asks questions nobody would know the answer to. Lots of lab work. You really have to teach yourself In this class.

You only get 5 exams to pass the entire class. Thats it,no extra credit and no other homework assignments. The exams are NOT easy. You have to study for the full 3-4 weeks he gives you and the lectures are LONG. He does curve the exams to his discretion. In order to pass make sure you STUDYSTUDYSTUDY. He also does not respond to his emails for days

This course is one where you definitely have to teach yourself! I like Prof. Ruiz-Carrington as a person, however your sucess relies in how well you can process LOADS of information. STUDY STUDY STUDY as the powerpoints sometimes have 100+ slides. He curves the 4 exams phenomenally though which I think is the only way I got the grade I did.

He is a very cool professor. passionate about what he teaches. The only issue is he tests at a higher lever than the class, he is super knowledgeable and thinks everyone should be at his level for the tests. He does curve the test grades though, because so little people passed.

I had Ryan for A&P2 and for Lab of A&P1. He's a really cool, laidback person. He's very knowledgeable but does expect you to think deeper on his tests. That's what makes it hard. So just his tests are hard which are every 3 wks. He checks attendance & makes you do prefab worksheets but I recommend him. Make sure you STUDY!

A lot of reading/writing, be sure to read the material thoroughly to find the information you need as a study guide.That was my only issue; finding the correct study guide for the exams.  And the professor is really bad at responding to emails, based off the level of importance will depend on his replying. (This is my sole reason for this rating.)
