Comment:

Talks very fast, so I suggest bringing a recorder to class. Study skills are a must for this class & you'll probably be getting alot of information you missed from the text. He doesn't manage class time wisely, was 10 weeks into semester before 1st exam. Quizzes/Exams are pretty straight forward. Basically if you're lazy this class isn't for you.

He talks really fast. If you want to pass I sugest getting a recorder. His quizes were difficult but thankfully his test were a little easier. He's a nice guy but you really have to work hard to pass.

Okay here's the deal: he talks too fast, has a gob of spit on his lip every class, and goes off on randomn tangents. In order to pass his class you need to be able to learn the information on your own. Flash cards are helpful, but whatever works for you. His quizzes will save you bc his exams are pretty randomn

Comment:

OMG - he is like a speed talker and has the entire course memorized (word for word) and if stop him to ask a question he is totally thrown off... he is a nice man but all he cares about is QUANTITY and not QUALITY so I would not recommend him unless you are a GOOD SELF STUDIER !

He's hard, talks very fast, and his quizzes will kill you every class. However, if you do the work you will be more prepared to enter the nursing program.

Comment:

STAY AWAY! I hate to sound redundant but I certainly agree with the majority.He loves the sound of his own voice. His lectures sound as though he recites them in his sleep. I get anxious just thinking about the class : (

This is my worst nightmare. He is way behind everyone else in class. Not helpful, arrogant, and condescending. If you are looking for someone to inspire you get out. Whats wrong with this school? So many negative comment and he is still teaching?

Comment:

I love this professor. Yes, he talks fast, but he gives you an outline that he follows to a T., so just follow along with him. He makes information that otherwise would be brain-numbing into a very interesting presentation. It's not an easy class, but so what! Put your big boy pants on and deal with it. For future nurses: he's your man.

Comment:

Worst professor I have ever had. Talks way to much falls way behind and then attempts to cram it all in before the test. Most of the questions on the test we were never even taught. I have no idea why he is still teaching because he does not know how at all.

Comment:

extremely difficult teacher who loves hearing himself talk and finds it redeeming that he is the most recorded prof at brookdale. he is ridiculously smart, but extremely condescending when you ask him a question. extended class pretty much everyday by 15 mins, since "we [had] nothing better to do" i think he's a ****

Comment:

Templeton gives you everything you need to know to get through his course....if you don't have the time to study his lecture notes you shouldn't be taking this class anyways. Use his outline EVERY question comes off of it and use it to follow class he goes right down it and supplies you with the answers. He is helpfull outside of class. Got an A!!

Comment:

If you want to learn a ton of physiology, Templeton is terrific. If you're just punching your ticket to get a prereq out of the way, run for your life! Templeton talks way too fast for most people to keep with, especially if English is not your first language. Focus on the big exams, not the weekly quiz. Turn his lectures into flash card quiz.

Comment:

worst professor ever. talks way too fast. class is extended 30 extra minutes every class but is still behind other professors. skips around and doesnt cover everything. Says one thing but puts a totally different thing on the test. good luck.
