Comment:

This teacher is a joke. I am currently over an hour away from school for this online class. My primary means of communication with him is through email, and he refuses to be any help. The course was not fully outlined from the beginning, the coursework is confusing, there is no direction when it comes to testing. STAY AWAY.

Comment:

Professor Evans is unlike any professor I've ever had in college. He's tough and he will make you work hard but if you put the time in and you show up to class and show him that you genuinely care about what he is teaching you will earn the grade. I got an A in his class but I really had to work for it which in return prepared me for Bio125 .

Comment:

Impossible to know what to expect for the quizzes and tests. Hard to seek help from, also is very short and blunt when answering questions. Lectures can be difficult to understand because he gets off topic easily. Tests have curves, which is helpful. Doesn't use visuals when teaching.

Dr. Evans is a fantastic professor, he is the most knowledgeable professor i have ever had. As long as you can put in some time to study the notes (that he created himself) to prepare for quizzes and tests you will pass this class very easily. He makes A&P fun and interesting.

Comment:

Yeah his quizzes and exams are tough, but he curves, rather inflates, all of them. If you can get used to his oddness, you will want him for BIO125 too if you need it. Plus he gives prizes to students who ask questions in class :) Also, he made the lab manual and lecture packets on his own! SUPER genius, and has been teaching FOREVER!

Comment:

Odd is the best way to describe Dr. Evans. He is kind of awkward sometimes but is extremely knowledgeable. He curves almost every test/quiz so it's hard to do poorly if you have any idea what you're doing. He encourages you to ask questions but is very bad at answering them

Comment:

One of the best professors I have ever had. He is extremely knowledgable about the human body and encourages you to ask him questions. In my opinion it is hard not to do well in his class because he is an outstanding professor and is always looking to help you understand the material. His tests are very challenging but they are weighted.

Dr evans is a great teacher if you genuinely love science. He is highly accredited and knows what he is talking about. Although he isn't always very helpful with questions, once you get to know him and understand how he works his classes are fun and you really do get a good grasp of the information.Plus HE GETS PAID TO WRITE TEST QUESTIONS, hello!!

Comment:

Dr. Evans is a great professor! He gives you a book for each section of the class that is an outline of his lecture notes, and you can write your own notes right in them. He tells you exactly what will be on the test, and does not test on material he hasn't covered in class. His class is hard and you must put in the study time if you want to pass!

He rambles on about you dont need to know for the test and never answered my questions and even went to the point to say I was being disruptive during class because I was taking notes....the packets are useless because the information in them is from another book.

Evans is interesting.He hands out candy,pens or bookmarks if you ask or answer a question.He can go off on tangents and has lots of stories.He jumps around a lot about a subject and his requirments for the term paper are vague.But he's very knowlegdable about A&P and his booklets are really helpful.Study.He grades weird.I'd take him again!Easy A!

Comment:

Well, he is kind of a nut job. I just avoided him and never took notes in class, just out of the book. Worked at my own pace. I never knew what my grade was going to be. Completely up in the air. Overall, the content was easy to learn if you put a lot of time in like I did.

Comment:

He is not very clear in what he wants you to know for the test, so you are forced to study a vast amount, and theres only a fraction of that on the test. The good thing about him is he curves test grades. Alot of times i would get a good amount wrong and still get 100%

Comment:

Evans is passable if you're not a college party kid. If you show up everyday, pretend like you have an interest in his lectures/labs, and ask lots of questions... you will pass. Again he is not an easy A, but if you don't slack and visit him in his office (just make up something to make it seem like your interested).

Dr. Evans is highly entertaining--you never know what he'll do in class. His class is tough, but if you put in some effort (attend lecture, pay attention, study the books he hands out), it's very possible to get a good grade.

Dr. Evans is very hard. He is never clear with what he wants you to know and he avoids questions when being asked. Most people fail his class and his tests are very hard and you need to be specific

Comment:

I would never take him again! He is an intelligent guy, but horrible explaining the material in a manner most can understand. Tests are based off his notebooks and he yells at u if you have ur book open in class. I found his class extremely hard to follow due to him jumping from one topic to another. Overall, I learned absolutely nothing from him.
