The nicest man in the world!!! I suggest that everyone takes Anatomy II lab with this wonderful man! He reminds me of a sweet, wise grandfather and is absolutely adorable. He is very helpful and explains everyone nicely. I had my best lab experience with him as my professor! Such a great man and is very approachable! TAKE HIM:)

Comment:

funny manerisms! lectures are boring but cover most important stuff he tests on--his chalk drawings are mostly chicken scratch. he gives extra credit...lots! he wants you to do well, and so he works with you, but isn't very good with answering questions in different ways--he just says the same thing. Read the book and class notes. you'll be fine.

Cannot lecture! Read the outlines and the book, and you should be okay, but don't bother trying to pay attention in class.

Comment:

Okay, I've had this guy for four classes, and he was excellent for all of them except this one. He means well, but doesn't exactly have a wealth of knowledge about debatable issues. Stick to science classes with him and you won't be disappointed.

Comment:

Warm, helpful, but discussion doesn't work in this class. We talked about the same issues for weeks without considering any alternate perspectives or stimulating ideas in detail. Tests are a NIGHTMARE of subjectivity!!! Take the other section.

Can be hard to follow. Know your terminology, or you might get lost. Other than that, he was pretty good.
