If you want a good laugh and an A take Him! You have to be a evil person to not laugh at this man. He is always making jokes but they relate to the material being taught. A lot of knowledge in his field and the lab is very fun. Great Professor probably one of the best I have ever had.

Awesome professor! He is super animated with his lectures and has so much experience, you can't help but respect him. His class has very clear grading standards and he offers extra credit, as long as you utilize all your recourses getting a great grade is easy. Loved this class, and the lab is awesome as well!

Comment:

Donovan is awesome! Clear-cut expectations from the get go. Informative lectures, but they are not super engaging, you gotta work on staying focused. Tons of study resources! He's super helpful by providing study guides that you can fill out and use on the tests. You really need to show up to class though. He's stern about that.

Donivan is such an amazing professor. He is very clear on what he wants you know. As long as you attend lectures, take exams, and attend lab sessions, you will sure pass with an A. He is always there to help you be successful and he is very funny. Very fair and will never fail a student who tries hard! Would take his class over and over...

Comment:

You know what you are getting when you take his class. Boring lecture, but clear cut. Study what is on the reviews and what is in the reader. Get all of the points you can whenever possible and you should get either an A or B. Not hard, just a lot of basic anatomy and athletic injury information.

I took this class a couple years ago and got an A. It wasn't an easy class, but if you are interested, it was educational! I was not an athlete at Grossmont... Donivan was still helpful and caring. I recommend this class. The lab was fun and I learned a lot!

Comment:

wish the whole class was based on the lab because its the best part. it is true that he seems to pay more attention to the athletes in the class than to anyone else. need to study alot to get an A. class is basically based on midterm, little quizzes, the final and lab points

Donovan is a rude and horrible teacher! He uses horrible slides and overhead sheets. Totally not worth it and I still got an A, only because I had lots of prior knowledge on the subject, Lousy Teacher.

First off, the last post is not even for the same teacher, since Donivan is a GUY, not a her. Secondly, he is a great teacher that keeps the class lively and fun. It's not very hard, but you will have to study for the midterm and final to get an A.

Comment:

She can be a good teacher at time but she can be very rude. She does not allow anyone to talk about anything else, if it is not what she is talking about. Usually good teachers allow students to express their opinion in different areas, but she does not.
