Roy was a wonderful professor, open to discuss topics in and outside the classroom. He truly goes the extra mile for his student and does everything in his power when asked for help. The fairness of his exams is extremely important to him. If you study the material given in the lectures and PowerPoints, you will succeed in this class.

Roy is extremely caring towards his students. If you have a problem he will help you! He is very knowledgeable in his field and it shows with the quality of the information you learn. However he does speak rather softly so a seat at the front of the class is a good idea. Roy is a 11/10 in my books.

Roy can be monotoned and can be hard to listen to but his exams are whatever is on his slide shows so you don't really need to listen you can just read the slides. You can tell that he cares about his class and wants you to do well. Also, his exams are multiple choice!!

I LOVE ROY RASMUSSEN!!! Literally such a great prof. Actually really cares about his students and makes it clear that he wants everyone to do well. Knowing the midterms and finals are multiple choice is awesome, such a stress reliever. You have to study in order to do well, but overall the work isn't really hard. Just a lot of memorizing.

Roy is a bit difficult to listen to, as he can be a bit monotone, but once you get used to it you will catch the funny comments he throws into every lecture. Roy has an appreciation for student feedback, which is unlike any other prof I have encountered at St.F.X.. Enjoyed his courses very much!

Roy truly cares about how well the students do in his class. He lets you know from the start that the course is challenging with a lot of information to learn and understand but he is always there for help. Does whatever he can to get students to succeed and is a genius in his field. The class is interesting but hard. Put effort in & you'll be fine

Very boring lectures. He's a pretty funny guy if you can listen though. Somewhat helpful outside of class but his lectures are the most boring I've ever been to.

I absolutely loved Roy, truly a sweetheart. The material was definitely difficult, but what else could we expect from anatomy? I think Roy did an excellent job, he was very approachable, gave great examples and made the class super interesting. Basically you get what you put into the class :)

Fantastic professor for anatomy/physiology! All tests for professor/course are multiple choice; Lab exams are short and long answers with fill in the blank type questions corresponding to stations.

Comment:

I had Roy for BIO 251/2, HKIN 365, and 466. Trust me, he gets MUCH better in later courses, probably because it gets closer to his own interests! Clinical was great, lots of discussions and presentations, though still lots of work! BIO 251/252 is like almost any BIO course, just read the book and notes and MEMORIZE! They are dry lectures though.
