Comment:

I had him for an online bioethics class. 100% recommend him. He was a great professor and all issues that he covered were relevant to real life problems. Directions were easy to follow and straight forward. He was probably one of the best professors I've had at FSC. We had 4 papers that were 3-5 pages and 13 modules. Easy A, just participate!

Had Dr. Crocker for an online Bioethics class. Really good experience. It was the type of class I'm glad I did online because it was just an opinion discussion due once a week and a few papers. Really nice guy, would def recommend!

Such a funny and cool dude. His lectures are easy to follow and clearly explains material. But his exams are very hard :(. If you don't put in the work, you won't pass.

Best Prof I have EVER had. Truly cares about educating the next gen for his field. Tough class, but WORTH it. Its a lot of reading, a lot of studying, but you will leave his course much more knowledgeable, and he WANTS to help everyone pass. Encouraging, very funny, i was never bored in his lectures even though they are very intense. Great guy

Amazing Professor but you need to be there, his slides are helpful but you need the additional information he gives you in order to understand his slides. Makes class interesting and is extremely knowledgeable. You will need to work for your grade but he tells you that from the beginning, this is Anatomy its supposed to be hard.

Comment:

If you're a bio major you will not have a problem taking his class. Straightforward and you earn what you put into the class. He is very knowledgeable, answers any question, he's pretty funny, and does a good job putting material into a clinical perspective. Non bio majors may have a harder time in his class due to the harder nature of A&P.

Comment:

He's a rough professor to take, but he does care for his students and if you can take his class and make it through, you will not only learn about the difficulty the classes you'll take in the future will be but you will learn about the clinical aspects of a career in bioscience. His tests are hard but not unfair, if you don't do well, it's on you.

Comment:

Before taking him this semester i looked at his reviews and was so scared. The reviews are wrong he is the BEST yes there is homework but it only benefits you because they are on the test. He gives you a sheet with what you have to know instead of over studying. He answers all questions & gives reviews. I got a D in a&p1 this time around an A!

Comment:

Very intelligent man, he tries to explain the information in terms that you will understand. He gives extremely difficult exams. If you study and make sure you know the material inside and out, you should do okay. I studied for days before the exams and was only able to pull low 80's. The textbook isn't necessary, but for studying it is helpful!

Prof. Crocker clearly explains all expectations from the beginning. He makes himself available to all students who may need additional help. During lectures, he welcomes any questions.. You will come out of Prof. Crocker's class with a solid foundation in human A&P.

This guy needs to retire or get a gf. I got an A in his class. He is moody & treats college students like children. He is NOT friendly. Spend your money on a professor who actually likes teaching.

Took this professor for A and P 2 and I am warning you do not take him if you want a good grade!! I was a B+ student in A & P 1 and this professors tests are just impossible. He gives this long speech the first day of class saying that whatever teacher you get the tests will be tough. No just no. It's his tests that are the HARDEST and impossible.

Comment:

Liked this professor a lot as person. He was very knowledgeable, and always offered his help during office hours (It's hard to go to office hours when you work full time!). His tests are another story... No matter how hard I studied, I would go in there confident that I knew the material, and then get a C on his tests. VERY difficult tests.

Comment:

Dr. Crocker is a genuinely nice professor who seems to really be interested in teaching the material. Don't bother buying the textbook, the tests come exclusively from his powerpoint slides. just read the powerpoints and know all of the material, come to office hours if youre confused. VERY hard tests, if you're pre-med avoid him to protect GPA

Comment:

Dr. Crocker is a great professor. Period. He makes sure to flesh out the material shown on his slides as best as he can and in a way that's relatable to the students. His tests were surprisingly difficult, but if you study to the best of your ability there's no reason why you shouldn't succeed. I highly recommend taking his class.
