Very energetic, very specific. Tough grader. Makes you know it to a tee, or tries however. Super smart. He loves when you go to him for extra help. Class was definitely hard but I did well. He does plenty of examples and tries his best to get the whole class into it. Likes trick questions too.

unless you have taken physics or are really good at math, this class is impossible!! he give packets on Monday and due Friday which is nice but its still a lot of work!! there isn't a tutor for this class either : Gales either likes you or he doesn't so if he doesn't like you, you are pretty much screwed and wont get any help. best of luck!

People will give him a bad name because they refuse to work hard. When it comes down to the end of the semester, he made you learn and did it in a helpful way. He is never unfair and is the most useful person on campus I have yet to find

Gales is the absolute BEST professor at LHU. He has helped with with any problem I have ever had. He's not even my advisor but I go to him because he is the most helpful person on campus. I had him for anatomy 1 and the class wasnt easy, but he made it fun and clarified any confusion. Overall, best professor I have ever had.

Great professor! He really tests you, but he knows what he's talking about, and he knows how to convey the necessary information to you. Very helpful and willing to stay after class/come into the lab at night to help.

Great class to sit in on, horrible tests to take. I think he tries to make an even bell curve, so only the brilliant can do well. You'll learn the material well enough for grad school; unfortunately with his grades, you won't get in to any grad schools, so...Has his favorites, helpful if you ask.

Mr. Gales is an excellant professor. Just plan to start studying when the material is introduced so it is concrete by his exams. He is all about a consistant student, if you are you will do well. He has no patients for half-hearted efforts by the students.

As a professor, I do not like Dan Gales. The dissections that you spend 10+ hours a week on and the lab reports are worth NOTHING towards your final grade. He gives you a choice of 5 books and what he believes to be true often disagrees with the text. Tests you on material he may have mentioned ONCE in passing.

Dan is an ok prof. He has his ups and downs. On the one hand he is not at all boring and wants his students to really learn. On the other hand, he has is favorites and can be very arrogant.

Dan is a great teacher. He makes you think!! - which is why he is not liked by a select few. His class is graduate school material and it will allow success in whatever grad school of choice.

He likes to feel superior… so when he talks down to you, snap back and have a good defense. Tell him what you think… You will never have the right answer for this guy…

Comment:
Overall, I enjoyed Gales' class. Anatomy and Physiology 1 covers a lot of material but the tests are pretty straightforward and he grades on a curve, taking the highest grade as a 100 percent which definatly helps account for any tricky questions. He provided review sessions which proved helpful at times and promptly posts his grades after tests.
