I was really surprised to see that he has such a low rating on here. I really liked his class. He has a good sense of humor and is very helpful, always willing to put in extra time to help you understand something and the quizzes aren't hard if you read through the labs. He kept things interesting.

Okay professor. He goes off on random stories a lot that don't relate to the subject material and takes up a lot of class time, which gets kind of annoying.

Ehh, he's good, not the best. Funny guy and pretty helpful. The only thing I hate about this class is that the book this year really doesn't match with the labs themselves. Garcia is cool.

He made a really bad impression on me the first day of class, but you get used to his personality. I guess he's kinda funny and he does try to help.

um...I wasn't a fan. Prof. Garcia is not a very smart man and thats all there is to it. We watched the same video twice in the same class period and didn't even notice until one of the students told him...prolly shouldn't be a prof. Class assignments are easy but tests are impossible to study for...I got in the 80s when I studied and when I didnt

Good professor, but the class was like a high school health class. He also goes over the simple stuff, but puts ridiculous things on the exams.

Comment:
Prof. Garcia's pretty cool but can make class pretty awkward sometimes when you get to the sex ed chapter. He's really blunt about what he has to say which can also be awkward. The work is super easy though if you do it, the exams are kinda tough but the work can bring your grade up.

I was really intimidated going into this class, not being one big on science. However, Garcia made this class worth it. He was funny and helpful. If you ask questions, pay attention, and care- you will do just fine.

Comment:
Prof. Garcia was an ok teacher. He was extremely unclear at times about expectations. His teaching method consisted of reading a powerpoint presentation (which can be found on the textbook's website) and telling stories about his life, there was never much substance. If you need the gen- ed, I would find someone else for BMS 100.

The class is based on labs that correspond to what you're doing in lecture, and you take quizzes the following week on those labs. The first few quizzes are easy, but after the lab practical (which isn't bad so don't freak out) they get a little tricky, so study a bit before. Nice guy, but not the best prof, corny jokes. Reminiscent of high school.

Garcia is a good proff. Study and you'll get an A. Just don't sit up front: he picks on people that sit in the front. He tells stupid jokes, too, but overall, an easy A.

Nice guy but not a great teacher. Our class was pretty much self-taught. He pretty much did nothing the entire semester. He doesn't proofread anything he writes and I don't know how he is teaching at this level. Questions on the med. term. quizzes are sometimes worded weird and don't make any sense so you're left to guess what he is really asking.

Garcia was an alright teacher. It always seemed that there were questions on the test that we didnt go over in class. He did give out a lot of extra credit so that was a bonus. I wish i had kozal but it wasnt the end of the world.

Garcia was a great lab prof! He jokes around a lot and is very knowledgable on anatamy & physiology. The quizzes are fairly tough but he does offer extra credit quite a bit. I enjoyed his class even though it was at 8 a.m. :P

Garcia is great for lab. He's fun to joke with and knows his stuff. The quizzes are hard so make sure you study for them, but he does offer extra credit, as long as you don't ask for it.

Comment:
Prof. Garcia is incompetant and should not be teaching at the college level. I am convinced that he doesn't proofread his tests and his endless pages of fill in the blank powerpoints are ridiculous. The questions he asks are unclear and the presentations he gives are equally confusing.

A nice guy, but you're on your own for the class. He'll help you if you can get to him during office hours or send an email. Watch out for his tests, there's always a few kinks.

Comment:
Worst teacher ever, every single test had a mistake on it and you would think at the college level a professor would proof read his tests. Not very helpful at all (especially when he cancels the class right before an exam) Doesn't seem to want students to do well. Definitely would NEVER take him again! If you have him get out NOW
