Comment:

Our MOI topic changed quite a bit throughout the semester and it wasn't a very organized class when I took it. I wasn't really ever sure what to expect when I got to class and it wasn't a class I ever looked forward to.

Comment:

Dr. Davis makes clas fun. He doesn't just have us sit there and listen to him lecture. He makes us come prepared to class, which really helps in the long run. I don't feel like I have to study as much for his class because he makes things very clear in class and answers all of your questions.

Comment:

First of all, why is a guy who focused on eggs, teaching about anatomy and physiology? I think this is the worst class I've ever taken at Loras, and it just happened to beat my cluster. This guy should have stayed on vacation and let the real M.D. stay and teach it.

Comment:

Dr. Davis was possibly one of the worst teachers I have ever had, his class; Beginning and Ending of Human Life seemed interesting from the beginning, until I figured out that he was very conservatively biased, giving me terrible grades for disagreeing with him, writing papers that "were not to his standards," meaning he disagreed with my view.

I enjoy this class. He is very helpful and knowlegable. In fact he really goes to bat for the student when you need it. I look forward to other classes with Davis.

Very Hard Tests!! I had to study a very long time for his tests. Presentations just make sure you ask him if your information is ok before presenting it, this will help your grade.

Davis is kind of goofy and goes a billion miles per second. Not always clear, not always available but certainly knowledgable.

I thought that he was helpful and fair in almost anything. He is super smart but he gives outlines for the notes that help a ton to keep on track of whats going on! I would def. take this class if you are intertested at all!

Comment:

He is a very smart guy...too smart for his own jokes sometimes. I think he told a joke and no one understood it. But, all in all, I think he is a good prof. His tests are incredibly hard, but if you do the study guide and somewhat prepare for the test, you will pass automatically.

Comment:

A lot of group presenations ask him what he wants you to say before the presenation otherwise he won't like it and he would of wanted you to add soemthing else that you didn't have, therefore not getting such a hot grade. Test are difficult there are alot on them to remember.
