Pros: Great teacher and really wants you to pass
Tests come directly from the notes
Always willing to help
Cons: Takes up the full two hours
Hard course
By far my favorite professor at Drexel. I was really struggling in the beginning of the course and he helped me get where I need to be. If you truly care and prove that you care, he does everything in his power to help you. He is so fun in lab and he's a truly great professor. I have nothing but positive and nice things to say about him and I recommend him to anyone!

I love Dr. Haroian. He's funny and sarcastic and doesn't put up with any shit. Pay attention in class and study for the exams, and the class is an easy A. Sectional anatomy -- What more can ya say.

Haroian is a great teacher. He is a very slow lecturer and will use all of the time almost every class but you will learn a lot from him. He is very willing to help if you are struggling. Tests are very straight forward and fully based on his lectures.

Pros: Great teacher!
shows the power points in class and tells the students exactly what will be on the test.
He does not mess around in class, goes slow, answers questions and writes directly on the power points.
I never even needed the textbook for the test.Study from the power points and what he writes down and you will do fine.
I recommend talking him for lab too. He never made me feel discouraged when I answered a question wrong. He was nice and easy to joke with.
Great teacher!

Pros: - Very easy to understand because he goes over things very slow
- Wants you to do well and if you go to him for help he will help you
Cons: - Writes on the slides and the slides very rarely have words besides the pictures from the textbook that he talks about so if you miss lecture you're in trouble
- Always go to lecture
- Tests are average difficulty

Pros: Haroain is a great teacher and really prepares you for your future rather than you only trying to get a good grade
Cons: This course is very difficult and should not be put off until the last second
I am a student that barely passed this class and I am still saying that he is a great teacher. You will learn a lot from him but definitely make this course a priority because many had to retake it

This man is the reason that I switched my major from nursing. No matter how hard you try in his class, he doesn't care. I went to him for help multiple times; he never answered my questions and just talked to me like I was stupid. This class ruined my term and I dreaded going to it every Tuesday and Thursday. People with an attitude like Dr. H's should not be teaching.

Pros: makes his own notes on the slides, explains information very thoroughly.
Cons: he is very very strict about internet use and cell phone use in class but it'll really for your own good.
he really knows how to hold your attention in class, great professor he will answer any questions you may have.

Cons: He really does not help you out much, even if you put in a lot of time.
This is Anatomy and Physiology 101 and so it is a heavy work load course. However Dr. Haroian does not show much sympathy for you if your grade is low and you try hard.

Pros: Great professor, really helps you learn. Tests aren't cumulative or you'd all fail. Test questions are in depth but you can get everything from the lecture, I never really used the book. He's an awesome person, and really loves to help, so ask him if you need help!
Cons: You have a lab packet to do every week, but it does help you. The tests are hard, but if you study the notes and powerpoints you'll survive.

Pros: Smart guy
Cons: He doesn't put up with any nonsense, so be prepared to pay attention throughout the whole class.
Sectional Anatomy isnt very interesting so he seems pretty dry.

Pros: He only taught what we needed to know on exams
Cons: He only posted pictures in his slide shows so you needed to be in lecture in order to understand or see what he taught
Professor Haroian is an excellent teacher. He is tough, but if you study and pay attention during lecture and in lab, you should be fine

Pros: -great teacher
-tells you what you need to know and that's it
Cons: -takes up the full 2 hours
-gives a lot of information to study
He was a great teacher. His class was difficult but it taught me the most i had ever learned through a course. It was very long and strenuous to attend all the classes and the 2 hour lab, but in the end i could not have asked for me. He was straight forward and he taught only the information necessary.

Best teacher I ever had at Drexel!!! Hard course but really makes sure his students learn everything. Alters class to students levels. Go to EVERY class, pay attention and take good notes. If you don't understand something ask, he will take as much time as needed to make sure you understand everything. Respects you more and more willing to help if you go to every class. For lab answer every question even if your answer is wrong. He gets angry when people say I dont know or leave things blank.

Best professor ever. It's a lot of information but he really cares about his students. Tests aren't bad, they're based pretty much off notes, so if you pay attention, take notes and work a bit, you'll do well.

Great teacher, really cares that you learn and get the most out of his class. Very FAIR grader, won't roll over and give you credit though. Tests are not "tricky" they are designed to see if you know the material or "kindof know how to recognize answers" which will not work in his class.

taking good notes is a must to do well. Expectations are clearly set out at the beginning of the class. work load light but tests can be difficult so again- take good notes at lecture!

If you attend lecture, take notes and study from those notes...you will be fine. His tests (as he will admit) come COMPLETELY from the notes. He is also very nice about student conferences and helping you with any problems you have with the class. He is this first professor I have ever heard say that Student emails come before any other...and in my experience with trying to communicate with him...its definitely true.

Dr. Haroian is very knowledgeable in the subject of anatomy. He is a fair grader; the grade you receive is based on the amount of time you put into studying. Lectures are not required, but I would strongly recommend attending them.
