AMAZING! Made the course come to life, was easy to understand and follow. Make sure you take good notes, & if you have any questions to ask them don't be shy about it. He's a really good professor overall.

While I didn't enjoy his lectures so much as he does ramble sometimes, he is very informative. Your grade will be all tests, but study the material, read the book and do his handouts, you'll be fine. I got an A but worked my butt off for it. Also, he drops your lowest test and lab score.

Dr. Cheeseman was really interesting. He was actually a medical doctor so he really knows his stuff. He had lots of good stories.

Comment:

I don't see how he could have made the class any easier without just giving us free grades. 6 lab tests (matching) and 6 lecture tests (multiple choice and 1 or 2 free response for extra credit). They are long tests but cover exactly what he covers in his lectures. His lectures can be long but he is funny sometimes. Funny guy, great class.

Comment:

Honestly he is a funny person . But class wise if you are not a strong test taker avoid him at ALL COST! I had him for AP 1 hated it but no one else taught AP 2 over the summer term so I had no choice. Very unclear on what would be on test and study guides rarely match up to test.

Comment:

I took both courses with this professor. I did not enjoy the time i spent in this class. His lectures go on forever to a point you lose focus. Your whole grade is based on tests, so if you are not a strong test taker do not take him. He also changes the format of every test so you never really know exactly what to study. Would not recommend.

Comment:

Honest review from an honest student: Cheeseman is a solid professor but be warned, he isn't the "easiest" professor out there. He is primarily lecture based and your grade in the class is based off of what you make on your exams. Lectures go hand in hand with exams. If you work hard, read, and study (even on a basic level) you will surely get an A

His lectures never seem to end, and we didn't really do any labs. I feel like I was not going to be prepared for A&P 2 so I stopped showing up (which I realize is a BAD idea don't do it) and am retaking it with a different professor this semester. Again, please don't take this class if you don't want to hear him go on tangents all the time.

He's a great intro to college teacher, and if he teachers A&P2, it would be a good idea to grab his class on your schedule. He is very thorough. A&P is not an easy class to begin with so it's not a good idea to slack off. As long as you listen, take notes, and do the packets he gives you before those lectures, everything will make sense. Funny too

Anatomy is a challenging course with lots of information for a short period of time but Professor Cheeseman makes it fun and interesting with personal stories and an amusing sense of humor to keep your attention. Would definitely suggest studying on your own through quizlet it saved me.

LOTS of note taking & studying outside of class. Class time consists of lectures & occasional lab. Gives extra credit options on each test. Don't miss class or you'll fall behind. Managed to get a "B" but got an "A" in Anat/Phys 1. Definitely had to work much harder to pass, but learned so much that will benefit anyone going into the medical field.

Comment:

Amazing teacher. I sincerely enjoyed his lectures, even though they were usual dense with a lot of note taking. The lecture exams were easy and worth a lot of points. The lab exams were much harder but if you sufficiently studied for them, they were easy. Would definitely recommend taking him, and he is hilarious.

Comment:

Interesting lectures, but the problem is that his exam questions do not match his lectures! He will tell you to understand basic concepts and then questions are very specific. I would say only half of the exam matches what he teaches. I studied and am in the medical field and couldn't score higher than a C on an exam and they are worth so much!

Extremely intelligent professor, retired MD, actually. Be ready to pay attention to extensive lectures and to take pages of notes each class. Show up or ship out. 3 major exams worth 25 % each and they aren't easy. Make sure you read the book and notes in entirety, what he says won't will be on the test WILL BE. Study four hours on end to pass!

I really enjoyed taking AP 1 with Dr. Cheeseman! If you pay attention and put away enough time to study the class is an easy A. He is very relaxed and makes learning fun. Would definitely recommend taking his class.

Don't bother taking this class unless you dedicate A LOT of time to studying and self-teaching. Lectures are long and boring, drops lowest test grade but the tests are HARD. Regretted taking this professor knowing there was better out there. Anatomy itself is hard, but I didn't think he made it any better.

Easy A if you study, pay attention, and don't skip class. If you cannot commit to this class then you shouldn't be going for the medical field. He is a doctor who knows a lot. Take advantage. Definitely study on your own though. If you work hard you will get an A! Take his class! Showing up to class is 10% of your grade, so don't miss class.

Great teacher!!! Anatomy is hard but gives you a chance to pass it. His reviews before the test are very helpful. Overall easy A IF YOU ATTEND ALL LECTURES AND PAY ATTENTION IN CLASS. Love this professor and would take him again if he taught other science classes.

I love, love, love Dr. Cheeseman. He is also a medical doctor and his personal knowledge helps! He is a great lecturer and he is caring. His jokes are comical, the people complaining on here need to not take things personally! As the difficulty for the course, yes it's hard, but if you take notes and read the chapters, you'll do great. Made an A
