Intense memorization. Make sure you don't cram one day prior to the exam because you are bound to do poorly. Just review after each class and it will be an easy A. Got 95% easy, huehuehue.

Cal was the best prof I ever had and luckily he taught 1/2 the class. Be sure to attend lectures as there is A LOT of memorization and be sure to use the textbook.

I really enjoyed the class, despite the amount of detail we were expected to know. The material in class would have been dull, but he presented in a captivating way. He was very helpful in office hours, and gave us sample exam questions before the midterm and final. Exams were not hard at all if you studied everything. Very dense course

Comment:

He is very helpful if any students cam and asked him for help. The course could be so much more difficult if textbook material was heavily tested but all you need to know is the course notes. The final i thought was okay but you need to not only memorize 35 sets of lecture notes but really understand what they mean inside and out.

Comment:

An excellent teacher for this course; however his lecture slides can be very crowded, so it is difficult to separate important information from 'just for your interest' information. Extremely helpful in office hours; basically gave away midterm and final questions. Final was very difficult compared to the rest of the course, but it was fair.

Such a kind professor. The lecture material can be dry but I think Roskelley does the best job he possibly could. He is SO beyond helpful and nice to all his students. Thanks for the effort, Dr. Roskelley; it really shows.

Comment:

Excellent teacher. Enjoyed his teaching very much. He is very clear and tries to get the points across with some humor. BUT!!! Beware of his ANAT 390 class. It's a group taught course, so he only teaches a handful of lectures, and some of the guest lecturers are awful.

Cal is an excellent professor..probably the best prof I have had at UBC so far..Not only is he a great prof, you can just tell that he is simply a great man all around from the way he loves and cherishes his family!!!!! Must attend lecture because there is a lot of information on the slides and he tells you what is important

While he seemed interesting at first, but his lectures proved boring and asked for excruciating detail in testing. His lectures are dry, though his does his best to be helpful.

Great professor. Extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and personable. Imperative to attend lectures for notes since PPT slides are only used to clarify topics. Tests are all M/C and diagrams, and relies on memorization (tons of it!). Lots of tricky M/C questions that test your complete understanding of the material. Overall, good course!

Comment:

Note that his exams are only easy if you study, and you study hard. They're fair questions but know your material. Maybe it's just the material, but attention can wane 20 minutes into the lecture. His notes are really well-structured and his writing neat.

Comment:

Dr.Roskelley is one of the best profs. He is extremely clear with his notes. Just write down what he writes and listen to the rest and you'll do fine. The course itself is a lot of memorizing but he really minimizes the memorization as much as possible by simplifying the notes as much as possible.

Dr. Roskelley is the best prof ever! He is very helpful in and outside of class and he makes the lectures very interesting. The class itself is very organized and he tells you exactly what you need to know in his notes and the text. I would recommend this prof to everyone!
