Comment:

Bruce is the most consistent prof I have had. He over teaches but makes the difficult easier to grasp. His tests are tough but with some study time passing is easy. He is not there to fail people and will do everything in his power to help you pass. If you put in the time instead of skipping classes, you will have a much better time in class.

Comment:

I would not recommend Bruce for any classes, especially if you absolutely need to get an A or a high B in the class. We had to teach our selves and he did not explain each topic very clearly. Test and lecture quizzes are very hard, but lab quizzes are easier. I found his class very hard, and he is not a very good professor.

Comment:

He's very professional and definitely knows his stuff. He makes anatomy easy and he is always willing to help you out. He's understanding and above all.. mercyful. His lectures are very clear and to the point. Instant test and quiz feedback and I could only wish I wasnt graduating so I could take his classes again.

Comment:

Bruce is a great teacher. I would recommend this processor to Anyone who has to take physiology or anatomy. I do not mean to say the class is easy. He does make it challenging. However if you put in the effort to learn, I'msure you will do just fine!

A very helpful teacher. He will try to help you pass the class but you do need to put forth effort. Very clear when explaining something and does games to help you memorize the word better. Great Teacher.

Comment:

I thought I would know what was coming since I have took two other anatomy classes before. This was nothing like that I am a visual learner along with explanation to show me what things were and he will just sit in his chair and say stuff that do not go along with the book he will pick a choose things and just show a picture. Not Good for me!!!

Comment:

Bruce teaches a hard class very well. He puts out everything you need, emphasizes stuff you will see on test and only way you think otherwise would be if you don't go to class or have a problem with him. Lots of memorization. He has tons of knowledge and already having an understanding of the material I can say does an excellent job teaching!

Comment:

I personally thought Bruce was a good teacher, and had no problem getting an A in the class. There is usually a quiz or test every class, but that is nice in that it splits things up and gives more chances for points (he drops lowest quiz/test). I would recommend him for any class, he's very helpful and knowledgeable.

Excellent class. Be prepared to work though. Bruce is extremely helpful and knowledgable in the subject area. He gives you exactly what you need to know for tests and quizzes. There are no surprises.

Comment:

At first I thought he was great, the class in general is very hard but he did a great job teaching the first few chapters of anatomy. But then it just went down hill. He will change tests and quiz days at the very last moment giving you a day to study for a test (which by the way, his unit reviews are not even close to what is actually on the test)

He talks very fast, but he does try to prepare you. Make sure you can be in every class, read the material, and have extra time to study and then you will get an A, otherwise good luck.

Comment:

Boy, am I glad to get out of this class. It was comparable to the time I spent in hell. And for some reason, he attracts the most sullen, depressing people to be in his classes. Avoid like a hippo.

Comment:

I don't know, he's pretty nice and helpful, but he doesn't always teach what's on the tests. But the students in the class are not much fun either, he gets off track and answers too many questions, but he knows his stuff
