I wish he still taught. I was only able to take his 231 class but it was a lot of fun and easy to understand. He is a funny guy and will keep the class interesting.

Great Experience, I liked his old fashioned teaching style, He doesn't fly through material, he takes the time to to though everything. Hint: buy a big binder for the handouts

Comment:

Larry is probably the best instructor I have ever had. I don't know how some people could give him bad reviews. He covers everything in great detail using analogies that make it so everyone can understand. If you do the work you should do well in this class. Most of A&P is memorization.

Comment:

He is so old fashioned. Writes all over the board. gives out plenty of handouts. and for exams says study everything. very hard to follow along and actually learn, though he tries to be funny. I would NOT say he was easy at all

Comment:

Larry is the best A&P teacher I have had! He's clear on what he teaches you and what he wants you to know. The notes you take in class are key, but the book is needed. He's easy to talk to if you need help and he is really funny too! It doesn't matter if you like A&P or not, if you take the class from Larry you can pass if you put in the effort.

I have taken Larry for Bi 231-233. Larry is an excellent teacher that puts up with a lot of little disrespectful teeny boppers who want an easy Nursing, or EMT certification. He is a damn good teacher; you are going to learn so much that after you finish one of his courses you'll find yourself filled with pride that you know your stuff.

So nice and helpful, funny, and ADORABLE! For a wily old man, he's such a sweetheart. He really babies his students, while poking gentle fun at us at the same time! Goes over everything as many times as you need it, and his handouts are very helpful. I barely had to open the book at all, just study notes and handouts and you know all you need to!

Comment:

I didn't think that he was a good teacher, his quizzes weren't bad, but his exams are really freakin' hard, you literally need to read each chapter in the book word for word b/c some of the questions, its like "when did we even go over this?"

Comment:

his classes or good, he does get into the material pretty well, the only thing i dont like about him is when he does his quizzes he words the questions so that they are difficult to decide what he want you to put down, you spend half your time trying to decide what he wants for the answer. but i guess he teaches you what you need to know so he good

Larry is a great teacher and a wonderful guy. He loves what he does and he cares about his students. I took Bio 231, 232, 233 from him and I don't know if I would have gotten through the difficult A&P courses at all if had it not been for him. He is the best!! :)

Comment:

This was the easiest Anatomy class I have ever taken. Larry is such a nice guy and really makes you feel that he cares about your education. He learns your name in the first week, and you don't even have to be that annoyign person that calls out all the time! So sincere and knowledgeable! Great class, I'd say easy B if you pay attention!

Comment:

This is THE instructor to take A&P from. I took Larry as well as other instructors (due to schedule conflicts). Someone else commented that he writes on the chalkboard. This is correct, but I actually like it that way because then he's not flying through the material like other instructors. Great teacher and funny too.

He's a nice guy, but a bit unorganized. His notes are done on chalk board and sometimes out of order. Funny and friendly, easy class. Good looking for a grandpa. :)

If you're taking A&P, Larry is definitely who you want. He makes learning about this stuff interesting, and makes lots of jokes. Very enjoyable person as well as the class.
