Reviews of professor Anthony-John Avenido

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Avenido is my favorite professor. He is kind, caring, and truly devoted to helping students succeed. However, he expects you to put in an ample amount of effort and work both in and out of the classroom. Dont do that and youre guaranteed to fail. Amazing person and 10/10 recommend him.

This is a hard course in general but having Dr. Jay as a lab professor was really helpful! He always applauded me for doing well and made sure that he would help people who were struggling. He even reconsidered questions when we talked to him about why we put something on a quiz or test. I would recommend having him as a lab professor!!

I took Anatomy of course, but this was the thing that STRESSED me out 24/7. The content was hard anyways, but Anviedo was hard to get interested in, and stay focused. He gave all of our tests online, on lockdown browser, and made them very difficult. If you do not put all you've got into this class, you won't make it.

Dr. Avenido is a good lecturer, however it is difficult to reach him outside of class. He hardly ever answers emails.

I took Avenido for bio 208 and despite this being a hard semester with covid he really cared about how his students were doing. If you ask him for help when you need it and attend class regularly, you will do fine. Great professor!

This class is obviously extremely hard, the professor doesn't matter too much. The online class was terrible. Lectures were not even done by him, he hardly had anything to do with the lecture portion. He is a good lab professor, just be prepared to teach yourself a lot.  He is very helpful outside of class, though.

This was a very difficult class and I feel like it would be difficult with whichever professor you have. The lectures are very long and take up a great amount of time. If you don't quiz yourself often, you won't do well. Lots of quizzes

Avenido was a great professor! Responds fairly quick to emails. Go to lectures and take good notes and youw ill do great. Class does require lots of studying but its worth it in the long run. Lecture is 60% of grade, lab is 40%. Final was only 10% of grade i think. He drops 3 of your lowest quizzes in lecture and lab. Buy the big textbook to study!

Always available outside of class and he is very clear about what you need to know for exams, especially the final. He also offers extra credit. Study what he tells you to and go to SI and you will do fine. I liked his class so much I'm going to take him for 209 too.
