Exams are straight off the lectures. No surprises. Students try to study for exams one day before the exam and criticize him for giving tough exams. Also gives a lot of work on Access to help bump your grade. Super smart guy, loves ex phys.

Easily the hardest class Ive taken in college. Lectures heavy and tests you on book material you dont go over. Great guy, terrible professor. Expects you to know everything before you enroll in the class. Ask for him for help and he says study more. Avoid if possible !

Dr. Axtell is an awesome guy and a great professor, but he is tough. His exams are very tricky and very detailed. Make sure you study everything down to the smallest details. If you do the work (and it is a lot), you'll be fine.

Do not let this man be your advisor. He sucks. He never returns emails or phone calls right away and if he make a mistake he does not fix it! HoRRiBLE!

Awesome guy. Lots of info but he takes lots of things into consideration with your grades. Go to class, take notes, pay attention and go for extra help if you need it. If you do all this, you will be alright! I love Axtell!!!!!!!

Comment:

Very hard teacher. He gives way too much information per class. If you go to him for extra help all he says is study more but doesn't really do much to help. If you aren't good in anatomy don't take him.

Had for Racquet Sports. Nice guy, but way too much work for a skills class! Tennis exam was really hard T/F test that nearly everyone failed. Pointless exam that didn't test our knowledge. Lecture portions are dry, but when you play the sports it's fun.

Probably the hardest class ever at SCSU, Fitness Management. One of the smartest men I know who cares more about you understanding the material than getting it right. Quiet guy but approachable if you try!!
