Comment:

This course is very intense. He is helpful and extremely knowledgeable but may come off as intimidating. The exams are hard because they cover every single thing in the text. The good thing is that the grading is curved. I got D's on my exams and ended up with a B for the course

Comment:

The material in this class is intense but I found the lectures interesting and Professor Lally's knowledge impeccable. The tests are multiple choice but the amount of material is just so vast that its so hard to memorize everything. Study hard, read the book so that you understand the concepts and be greatful that he grades on a curve.

Comment:

Lally is a great professor, considering that he IS teaching such a hard subject. I suggest to NEVER procrastinate on reading. Attending lectures always helps, but it is essential to read from the text. Powerpoints were useless and a waste of paper to print. The best thing about this class is that he grades on a curve.

Comment:

This was by far the most difficult class that I have taken so far in college. I would definately recommend taking this class at KCC or with any other PHYS teacher. You don't want to suffer through this class and this is coming for a Deans List student.

Lally is a really smart guy. Lectures are usually very filled with information, some laughs, and random cool tidbits. As the semester progressed the study load got super hard, so be prepared.

He is helpful teacher but exams are so hard. You have to study a lot to get good grade in this class. Study guide was not so helpful for exam. You should read whole text.

Comment:

Dr. Lally is very passionate about teaching Physiology. He could've been an EE but he opted to teach PHYL instead. I would definitely recommend his class to anyone in the KLS department. Now Dr. Merritt, that's another story. :)

Comment:

He knows what he is talking about, but his class is soo boring. I'm not sure if the class helps out with the tests b/c I never go, b/c he is so boring. The study guide for the exam was very helpful though. He has a monotone voice...he took something I'm really interested in and just shot it down.

Comment:

Exams are quite difficult. The class is somewhat boring. He tries to liven the class with jokes, but they're quite contrived and comes off as "trying too hard." It even irritates me when he tries to "flavor" up the class by swearing.

Dr. Lally is very smart and a very good teacher. He knows the material like the back of his hand. The tests are hard, but if you put enough effort into it, you can do fine.

Comment:

one of the coolest/funniest professors I have ever had. Very willing to give extra help. lectures are clear and if you don't understand anything you he always makes you feel welcomed to ask. exams are a bit difficult, but if you study you'll do fine.
