Comment:
As a freshman in college with no experience, I still know this guy shouldnt be teaching. Presentations? Only pictures, no bullet points. Lots of well get to that later and leaves you wondering what to even write down. Threw a fit when less people started attending his class, thats because its the least engaging thing weve ever seen.

Comment:
Had for bi 103 and 104. Loved his through knowledge on all topics covered in class. Lots of extra credit points available but don't expect more then what he generously gives. Not graded on attendance but if you miss you fall behind as he doesn't go over it again. Loved him but be ready to do the reading and pay attention in lecture.

Comment:
Worst teacher I've ever had. Has NO power points and basically just reads the entire book word for word in lecture. Never narrowed down any of the information and I never knew what material would be on the test. Also he constantly talks about his time in the military. His class was useless. Take it with another professor to save your money and GPA!

this teacher was very good. he knows his subject and he obviously loves teaching. he is very fair and tries to help you as much as possible. only thing I didn't like is he said he was a climate change denier which is NOT cool, scientifically.

Comment:
He is an awful teacher. He does not make anything clear. The exam question's is taking what you know and applying it. He does not teach you how to properly answer the exam questions. You have a quiz after each chapter and after every lab. This is generally a very difficult class, but he doesn't make it any easier.

Definitely like Dr. Joe and the structure for the class. Grading is all very clear. However, this remains the most difficult class I have ever taken. The tests are insanely difficult. Impossible to study enough, or to tell what will actually be on the test. Confusing questions. Expect to study 30 hours a week and not break an A. Not kidding.

My mistake was to take this as an accelerated course. The lectures are extremely long and dry and are simply followed up with exams or quizzes. There is nothing to look forward to in this class except the end of semester.

Comment:
I honestly did not like his class at all. You basically had to go read the book because his lectures seem a little pointless since he never used PowerPoint. I you are one of those people that just cannot learn from the book, then I do not recommend this class for you.

Is there to answer any questions you have, cares about your grade if you are trying, gives you a black and white grading criteria. What more can you ask for?Anatomy is not suppose to be an easy class. You will have to work for it but you will succeed if you are taking it seriously.

Dr. Joe is a great professor. He is willing to answer any questions and is very thorough. It is hard, but possible to get an A if you study. His tests are hard, but pay attention to the chapter quizzes. He is very fair and understanding as long as you attend class and put forth effort.

Comment:
I personally really liked professor Rosebrock. He expects you to put the time and effort into his class. If you do so and go to him for clarification when needed then an A is very attainable. He offers extra credit and gives hints on what he expects you to know while he lectures. Very knowledgeable and willing to help if you put the effort in.

Joe is the worst teacher I have had at FCC by far. Does not give powerpoints, is not helpful when you have questions, and goes off on long rants about when he was in med school that are not even relatable to the information you are learning in class. DO NOT TAKE THIS TEACHER!

Joe is the absolute worst teacher I have had at FCC. I should have known he would be very difficult when he told us the first day of class his passing rate is 33%. Please do yourself a favor and take this class with anyone else!! He is the only teacher that puts essay questions on his exams! My class started off with 40 students and ended with 12.

Very knowledgeable and passionate about the subject. He expects you put the study time in for this class and his exams are challenging but as long as you do put in the time studying, attend class, listen to lectures, and pay attention to the study guide you will be okay. Very willing to answer questions if they are asked. I'd take him again.

Dr. Joe is extremely knowledgeable on the topics in A&P. Love how he has real life stories regarding diseases/conditions related to topics. His exams are not easy but this is a class where you MUST put in MAJOR study hours outside of lecture. I got As on the exams b/c I studied..a lot! He is very nice and fair with grading and you will learn!

Outdated lecture style, better for lab. He is a scientist not a teacher. Doesn't know how to explain things to students at different levels. If your struggling go with someone who has more time and patience. He can get very impatient and acts put out.

Dr Joe is not that tough. He gives lots of extra credit and uses the same finals and practicals as the other instructors. Reads straight from the book in lecture, tests straight from the book. If you read the book and go over the post test questions and you can get a good grade. Pretty easy grader.

I took Human Biology from Prof. Rosebrock. It was a lot of material but he made sure everything was understood and is very fair with tests. Also, he talks about horses and food alot. He is a good teacher and I would take another class taught by him.

I had Dr. Joe for both 103 and 104. I enjoyed his class very much! If you stuggle with test taking, he may not be the teacher for you. His tests are very challenging. He really is great in lecture and lab and takes his time answering questions and working with students. I leared so much in his class that I know will help me as a nurse.
