Switch is the best professor I've ever had. His class is extremely difficult but well worth it. I learned more in his class than any other class I've taken at Eastern. He respects your education and wants nothing but the best for his students. Be prepared to work, but understand that it will pay off. He's absolutely amazing.

Had to take Switch for my SLM major Business track. Switch definitely knows his material, and is very passionate about the subject of Anatomy, and it is really nice to have a professor that actually cares about what they teach. Study 2 hours for every hour in class, record lectures, and look out for tests and quizzes. It's great to be alive gang!

Comment:

He is very nice and understanding. He is a tough grader on tests and has many pop quizzes but he really cares about his students being the best professionals in the field. I would highly recommend taking a class with him, but make sure the rest of your classes are easy so you will have the time you need to dedicate to the class.

Really smart guy, knows what hes talking about and hes very enthusiastic about the subject. Doesn't give any homework except to study a lot. Tests and Quizzes are tough and they count for all your grade. The class is enjoyable because he makes the subjects interesting and his teaching style keeps you engaged. No easy grade but worth it.

Amazing lectures keep you engaged and focused on the material. His passion shows and makes you want to do well. Never skip a class and approach the course on a class-by-class basis or the difficulty will increase. Record the classes and listen to them later.

Best professor I've had so far at Eastern! Lectures are interesting & you can tell he's passionate about the material. Highly recommend taping the class and re-listening to it later on. Make sure your notes are neat. If you skip class, don't expect to pass. He does offer help if you ask for it and there are also tutors in the library for the class.

Switch is the greatest professor i've ever had. If anyone has a chance to take his class they should, but it is not for someone who thinks they can study the night before and get an A. These classes are work, take them if you are serious about being an HPE major.

Comment:

Very difficult class and professor, but the best class you can take at eastern. Switch makes you earn your grade. If you miss class you better have a friend with good notes because you will miss a lot of content. Had to retake in summer and after doing so id recommend the summer course over in semester, done in a week and more review time in class

Great to be Alive Gang! Not only is he a great guy, he's obsessed with the field of study and will not let you go out into the health science world unprepared. Best class I've ever taken. You have to study class by class and commit yourself, REALLY. If you don't, you will never pass. But when you do, it's worth it.

"It's great to be alive gang!'' starts off the class every morning. This class is very demanding, studying is a must. Also I would suggest a voice recorder and to rewrite your notes because he talks so fast sometimes you can miss the little important things. Do not miss any classes!

Comment:

Take everything he says seriously, don't miss class, write down and study every word he says. I used a tape recorder to help rewrite my notes and it was a lifesaver. Find someone to study with, talking about the material helps a lot. The class was really difficult and studying was time consuming, but I got an A, it is actually possible.
