Best course I have taken at Marquette. Dr. Cullinan has perfected the structure of this course. If you take advantage of this course you can gain so many benefits between lectures/guest speakers, anatomy lab and gross lab time. Highly, highly recommend.

Comment:

Dr. Cullinan's anatomy class is difficult, however he makes success possibly by being the most caring and helpful professor Marquette has to offer. He is also probably the most knowledgable person I've ever met on the subject, making his class very interesting and impressive. He knows EVERYONE'S name in the huge lecture, which is so cool.

Dr. Cullinan is very friendly, and is more than willing to meet with you and discuss whatever you may need. He makes an earnest effort to learn everyone's names in the course. Very tough course, but by far the most interesting content

Dr. Cullinan is easily I think one of the best professors Marquette has. He is so understanding of students' struggles with the course and always willing to help. I've never felt more cared about by a professor who teaches such a large class and has so many students

Dr. Cullinan is amazing. He is the greatest guy, and has an incredible amount of patience. He is willing to go out of his way to teach you about anatomy, and will hold review sessions at 10-11 PM to review over an exam. He is quirky and has a lot of engaging material while he teaches, one of which involves using 3D glasses in lecture. TAKE HIM!

Comment:

Anatomy with Professor Cullinan was a great class. It was difficult and a lot of studying was required, because each exam is about 5 packets worth of information. You must know everything, but thats what makes the class worth it, since you learn so much about the human body. Cullinan is friendly and I wish I could take more of his classes.

Really smart guy. Need to attend lectures for popquizes or you will be lost AND re listen to lectures posted online. Everything in lecture is fair game for exams. Not terribly hard, but there is SO MUCH INFORMATION which makes it harder than expected, Start studying AT LEAST a week in advance. Labs are good grade boosters with lots of extra credit.

Dr. Cullinan is by far one of the best professors at Marquette and truly cares about every single student. His lectures are amazing, as he is beyond intelligent. The tests are really tough, listen to the audio tapes he uploads and study ahead of time. Do not cram, it won't work. Do well on lab practicals, they will help boost your grade.

Great professor, great class. Favorite science class I've taken at Marquette so far in terms of interest and fairness. Tests are tough, but very do-able. Memorize the material several days in advance and drill it into your head. Posts audio-recordings of all lectures on d2l - SO convenient. Read the clinical correlates and kill your lab practicals

Best professor on campus, without a doubt in my mind. Nice guy to talk to and get help from, challenges you and makes sure you know the material. He has REALLY high expectations, but is willing to do anything to help you reach them, and when you leave the class, you genuinely do feel like you learned a ton. Wish he taught more classes, take him!!!

Cullinan is by far the best professor I ever had during my time at Marquette, and it's a shame he doesn't teach any other courses. Though this class is extremely difficult (have to start studying at least a week in advance), I have no regrets taking it, since it was a truly great experience having him as a professor; very smart and very friendly.

Dr. Cullinan is the best professor I have ever had at Marquette. He cares individually about each student, takes the time to help everyone in anyway he can, and even learns everyone's name. Challenging class with a lot of work, but having Dr. Cullinan as a professor makes it worth all of it.

He doesn't teach. Its a rapid fire regurg of lectures he's used for years, expects you to listen to his graciously provided recordings of lectures and then tests on your ability to reinterpret that info in an applied fashion as if you were in med school. It's his personal control point to regulate who gets into the MU professional programs.

Very intelligent, very clear, very helpful, and very entertaining. The course is not easy, but it is fair and interesting. He gives you all of the information that you will be tested on in lecture and he records his lectures for you to review while studying. He is an excellent professor that I strongly recommend even to take as an elective.

Dr. Cullinan is by far the greatest professor that i've ever had. This guy is so smart, his lecture will blow your mind away. He's an awesome professor and very funny one too. I would honestly go back to that Anatomy class next semester and just sit down listening to his lecture, even if i don't have the class. Anatomy is a tough class, use Netter.

Had him for Human Anatomy. He's fun to have in class. The class is really dense so go to lab and have the TA's help you and stay on top of things. It's really hard to recover if you fall behind.

Dr. Cullinan is AMAZING. Absolutely brilliant, friendly, and hilarious. Easily the best professor and class I've ever had at Marquette, and I don't think will ever be surpassed. Don't buy the anatomy textbook but definitely get Netter's Atlas.

Comment:

Lots of memorization and application. Multiple choice tests are difficult and all-encompassing of the material. However, this was by far my favorite class at MU. The perfect challenge. Dr. C is outstandingly knowledgeable, approachable, and engaging. TA's are very helpful. Labs boost your grade considerably. Final is very difficult, but curved.
