... this won't help anyone because he is retiring. Maybe he'll read over his own rating and therefore this is for you. I had a final exam after the last lecture but I stayed to listen to the post-lecture speech and I was not dissapointed. Dr. Begg, thank you for the inspiring speech and I hope you have a good retirement!

Dr. Begg is one of the best professors that I've ever had in my University experience. He is very interesting and is very passionate about his subject area. He has so many hilarious stories and jokes but also cares for his students. Ultimately, he is a very inspirational person who will make you actually like what you're learning. Amazing prof!

Comment:

Dr. Begg is a solid professor. The problem being is that the notes (slides)that are posted are bare, often containing unnecessary diagrams. You must write down everything he and the other profs say during lecture to do well as he often asks questions from things he has mentioned that are not on the slides. Highly recommend the textbook to do well.

Comment:

Dr. Begg is one of those profs who clearly cares about his students, and he can be quite funny at times. I was expecting to really like anatomy because I love physiology, but it's a course that's very memorization-intensive which I didn't care for as much-- I prefer concepts and understanding over the names things.

Comment:

Anatomy is a very challenging, demanding course so be prepared to do a lot of work for this class. The textbook is not needed, and attendance is mandatory. This course was basically all memorization work. Dr. Begg is an amazing prof and explains concepts clearly and in a way you can understand. The last class he makes a speech, definitely attend.

Dr Begg is an incredible prof, he really wants to make sure you understand concepts. First midterm and the final weren't super difficult but the second midterm was horrible, study the nervous system as much as it will be your downfall! Begg is an incredibly inspirational prof who is clearly passionate about what he does. Highly recommend this class

Textbook not needed, just go to class and make sure to take extra notes. I don't know if he's super inspiring, but I thought he was a good prof with an obvious passion for his teaching. His jokes are inappropriate sometimes, but other than that no complaints. Class not scaled - letters are set to certain percentages. Memorize and study

Dr. Begg is the sweetest professor. The sections he taught in anatomy were my favourite - he's very clear with his explanations and makes funny jokes here and there! I think he's hilarious. He finished the term with a very inspiring story which I will remember forever. Thank you Dr. Begg.

Dr.Begg is an amazing prof, who is not only knowledgable and helpful but also extremely passionate about the subject he is teaching!

Comment:

This was a HARD class. So much memorizing, so many tiny details and the exams were hard because of the insane details. Not a GPA booster. Dr. Begg was fabulous however. Clearly passionate about his work, and very knowledgeable. He was hilarious, always making jokes. Speech on the last day was so inspirational. If you're taking it, do it with him!

Dr. Begg teaches the bulk of this class. He's a great professor, lectures very clearly, and answers email very quickly. That said, this course is harder than most 200 level courses, but if you're willing to memorize the lectures and take extra notes during class, you should make out okay.

Don't have enough good things to say about Dr. Begg! He explains things so well, making it easy to master even the toughest material. He's also hilarious. Didn't need anatomy for my degree, but it's worth taking the class if he's teaching it, regardless of your background.

Very professional and dedicated teacher. Even though he was teaching to a class of 400, he makes you feel like he is teaching directly to you. It is easy to tell that he is teaching because he wants to make a difference.

Dr. Begg is one of THE BEST professors I have had at the UofA. While the material was at some points very in-depth, it was never boring. He is so dedicated and knowledgable, I could never bring myself to miss his class. End of semester he gave an incredible speech and opened up his life to explain to us how important finding something you love is.

Professor Begg is the most amazing prof EVER. He is such an inspiration compared to some profs who do not care one bit. If given the chance TAKE THIS CLASS. You will love him. Cried on the last day, he is that great and I can't even express how hilarious and caring he is!
