Comment:
He uses every minute of class time, so dont expect to leave early. He talked a lot and always gave us good information. We didnt have many quizzes or tests but the ones we did have counted for a lot, so its pretty important that you do well on them. Hes also very willing to meet outside of class and help you if you need anything.

Not as bad as everyone says! Hes actaullay a great teacher and person. I started off bad, but I didnt do the study guide and tried the book. Next time, I re-listened to the lecture and did the study guide, got an A! He also rounded my B+ to a A-. P262 is hard but if you put in the work youll get good grades. Go to class, he says test questions!!

First, I will say Mr. Clark is a kind professor with good intentions. The semester started out poorly for the majority. Yes, the exams are very hard. This is a very rigorous class. However, at the end of the semester he did his best to help us all out and provide opportunities for us to boost our grade. Though not mandatory, attendance matters!!!!!

Comment:
you must go to class if you want to pass because his lectures hold all the information. If you are switching from Bushnell you are in for a tough time. His lectures are very boring, but record them to study. Everything that will be on the test he covers, usually saying it without it being on the pp. He will curve the test if everyone does bad.

Great professor. His lectures might be boring, but he gives out all information needed for a test. If you want a A in his class then go off his power-points and definitely read the book and take notes. He will help you if you need help. Also, I definitely recommend going over every exam for the final because it'll give you a easy A.

Directly reads of power points. Gives easy quizzes, but hard tests. Not many useful visual material taught. Tests based off of power points. Reading is barely helpful. Study Power Points only. Teacher lectures all the 1:15 minutes. If you do not do well with studying & memorizing 20-50 power points, do not take class. All memorization.

Comment:
If you didn't have him for anatomy 1, and now have him for 2, you're in for a big change. His tests are fill in the blank and multiple choice. Quizzes aren't easy. But he is very willing to help his students. He makes you work for your grade. Paying attention to lecture is very important

The exams and quizzes are hard, but as long as you read the book and look over the powerpoints you will do fine! He also posts study guides and is more than willing to answer questions. He has a soft voice that makes it easy to space out, so that may be why people are saying he is boring. Really is a nice guy and makes the material interesting!

This professor WILL help and answer questions if YOU ASK. He's not boring unless, perhaps, you sit in the back, don't read the book, and only come to lectures when you feel like it. This class is supposed to be HARD. If you study his slides, rather than study guides, you'll pass with no problem! Don't listen to negative ratings. (: Prof. is nice!

Horrible. Lectures are extremely boring and no help when it comes to quizzes and exams. EXTREMELY DIFFICULT exams! He expects you to known every single detail of every single chapter of the book. Do not take this professor unless you absolutely have to.

Makes an already difficult class even harder. Fill in the blank and short answer are majority of his test. Impossible to do well unless you have a science background! He talks too softly and is super boring. His power points dont provide enough information. Pretty much learn on your own.

Very difficult class. Prof is so boring you will fall asleep. Avoid taking his class if possible. Tests are ridiculously hard and almost impossible to study for as there is sooo much material an no study guide of any kind. If you don't read the book you won't pass.

Too hard for P261. Grade weighted too heavy on tests. Tests spaced too far apart(36ch - 4tests)This is not a blow off class. If you don't study, you will not pass! Clark knows his stuff but doesn't present it in a way that makes it easy to retain. Classes are really boring with little variance in hi

This is a really hard class, especially for incoming frosh. Lectures were boring once in awhile he would throw in some humor but rarely, sometimes painful to sit through. Basically students taught themselves or learned in lab.
