Comment:
His quizzes are easy. Just do the practices quizzes/tests online, he uses the exact same questions. Tests are part lecture notes and part online quizzes, but if you study they're easy, he will make it clear what you need to know. His labs consist of lab practicums and are very easy as well. He has a great personality, extremely helpful, and caring.

Tom was great and really helpful and makes mundane subjects entertaining. The material is vast and you are expected to know it. This is not an easy class but if you do the work expect to do well.

Tom is an energetic professor who cares about his students success. I have taken both chemistry and A&P with him. He is challenging but gives you the tools to succeed and every class interesting . It does not hurt that he has a great sense of humor.

Tom is the best professor I have had at BCC! He hands out packets for the lectures and tells the students what to expect on exams and quizzes. His lectures are fun and he is very clear as to how he grades things and what to expect throughout the semester! He is also very helpful in lab and walks his students through the material!

Tom is a great teacher. I did the one thing he said not to do- I majored in him! He is clear, funny , and you are able to learn from him. He is fair and attendance is a must. He will help you but won't put up with any fooling around. I took 3 classes with him. His handouts are the notes and you listen and add to them.

He's a lot of fun, but it's important to him that you do well too. He will make you laugh and teach you well at the same time. Very likable person with a big heart, but will not take anyone's bunk, so don't mess with him. :-)

Tom doesn't just lecture from the book, he has packets of notes that he hands out. These make it crystal clear what he expects you to read, study and know. Tom is very challenging because he wants you to actually learn the material, all without boring you to death in the process. He is intelligent, funny and super organized. Great guy!

Comment:
Professor Carey is ideal as a teacher because he's succinct. His hand outs for class are so perfect I could have gotten an A without cracking the book. This professor makes difficult material interesting and easy to understand. I would not recommend missing a class, as he covers a lot of material. Helpful, funny, and knowledgeable.

Had Tom for 7-8 classes back in the 80's. What I learned then is still relevant. More importantly, he kept me interested & motivated and taught me to love what I do. He's passionate about teaching, the lessons stay with you for a lifetime. Wish I could find more professors like him as I pursue my Bachelor's Degree. Thanks to Tom, I love my career!

Very good Anatomy and Physiology teacher. Applies everything clinically. Teaches so that you understand the material; does not try to stump you. Tests and quizzes and lab practicals are very fair, you know just want to expect. If you study the material you will do fine.

Tom is an amazing teacher like everyone says. He relates everything clinically. I would say as long as you attend the lectures one will easily pass. However there is much work involved if you want an A. I would recommend him and have takin him for 3 classes.A and P 1 & 2 and chem 150. Thanks Tommy Boy
