Love him, friendly guy who will do everything in his power to help you recieve an A in his class. You can miss class sometimes if people have taken videos of the lab portion of the class. You need to study, if you need this class for credit then you want Charlie as your teacher.

Comment:

I took Bio 11 with Charlie during summer and got an A. I don't recommend taking this class in the summer unless you have several hours a day to study. Charlie wants everyone to get an A and gives you the tools necessary to do so. So as long as you study and show up to class you will do fine. Ask questions! He wants to help!!

Comment:

Charlie is absolutely amazing. A summer anatomy class isn't easy and you definitely have to be willing to put in hours a day studying. However, Charlie makes this class enjoyable. His stories from all his years of teaching here are hilarious. He gives you everything you absolutely need to do well. I wish he taught other classes!

Comment:

Charlies crazy y'all. He has been at this school for so long and has so many great stories. He makes all of his lecture tests based off of his lectures for the most part just make sure you ask him exactly what's on the test. class is based on test solely so you can't fight him on your grade. Study hard to get the grade you want and study everyday!

Comment:

Charlie was a great teacher. He gives you all you need to pass the class. If you can get through the first two tests and practicums you're set. In the beginning there is a lot of memorizing, but it turns into conceptual learning later on. Just remember Charlie's lecture notes for the tests. I would 100% recommend Charlie to anyone taking anatomy.

Bittersweet moment this class is over. I learned so much and enjoyed it all!Charlie is a sweet man with fun jokes and stories that make the class memorable. EC is widely avail. Grade based soley on tests. Lectures are to the point and practicals are purely memorization. No surprises on tests. Study and stay organized. It's an easy A

Comment:

was skeptical while reading reviews. LISTEN UP- U NEED TO TAKE HIM. easiest for anatomy- u need to be good at memorizing and practicing and NOT PROCRASTINATING. he tells funny stories during lecture and is old & a bit slow but def my fav prof. tests are written at first then progress into multiple choice. muscle exam is hardest then gets easy.

Comment:

Charlie is a genius! Politically incorrect, funny stories, and lectures that cut right to the chase. Anatomy is already tough and Charlie made sure that it wouldn't become tougher as most professors make it out to be. Really positive energy in the class and most classmates seemed to enjoy attending the class. God bless this man!

Comment:

Dissection of cat, sheep brain, heart, & eye. Use bone box in library to study for bone practicum. Rake in all extra credit you can. 5pts can move your grade- imagine what 20 can do. Tests are 90% from the notes you take in class, rest are from the chapter reading. He is helpful & hilarious. Would take him again in a heartbeat! Best class at SBC.

Charlie is so awesome!!! I'm super glad I was able to take him bc his classes usually fill up fast. He teaches the material clearly and is always willing to further explain whatever you're lost on. Anatomy isn't an easy subject (lots of memorizing) but he makes it interesting and fun. Do the work, study the notes, pay attention, and you'll do well.

Charlie is a AWESOME professor, would highly recommend him for anyone needing anatomy. There are 4 practical and lecture exams they are not easy but he goes over exactly what will be on them. If you take the time to study and remember all the terms, you will do great. He also offers extra credit opportunities on almost all the exams.

Charlie is the most amazing professor I have ever taken. He tells the funniest stories before class sometimes. His lectures are clear and straight forward. Make sure you know everything he writes on the board. Don't take anyone else for anatomy!!! He gives extra credit and makes it possible to get an A+. I learned so much in his class. Great prof!!

Comment:

Took this class during summer. He's kind of an odd ball, but a great teacher! Simplifies the material as best he can. Only hw is chapter outlines & they don't have specific due dates, just due before the Lec exam. Does not curve tests, drop lowest grade, or offer extra credit. I feel confident in my knowledge of Anat & feel prepared for Physio.

I think he makes class entertaining with his stories. To get an A all you have to do is take time to study. He instructs you on exactly what you need to study on. He doesn't try to trick you. So many opportunities to get extra credit in his class. Show up to class everyday. Definitely recommend him.

Comment:

Oh Charlie... overall he's probably the best anatomy teacher in terms of getting a good grade because he offers so many opportunities to do well in the class. He often goes on tangents about unnecessary things and talks pretty slow which make lectures a drag sometimes but as long as you study and do the extra credit you will do just fine !

An absolute gem! Charlie offers his students every opportunity to do well in. His lectures are clear, filled with helpful examples and are always hilarious ("without the stomach there would be no Parthenon!") I've walked away feeling that I didn't just manage to earn a good grade, but also with a solid foundation. Take him if at all possible!!

Charlie is the best. He makes anatomy very straightforward. This class isn't easy, but if you attend class, make use of extra lab time and study everything he writes on the board, you will do well. He's also hilarious and keeps you entertained with his story telling. Highly recommend taking Charlie's class if you can!

Comment:

Charlie is a great teacher, it's really just based on whether you take the time to study but there is lots of studying required! He gives you the information you need to know, and he goes over models for the practicum, sometimes more than once. If you ever need help or have a question he's always there to help. Sense of humor. I recommend!

Comment:

This class is very difficult and there is a lot of information, but Charlie does everything in his power to help you succeed. You'll need to put in the time and study anywhere between 15-18 hrs/week, there's no way around it. Lecture tests are harder than practicals. Take advantage of extra credit opportunities!

Comment:

"Anatomy is a hard subject. I don't see the need to make it any harder" -Charlie Charlie is an awesome professor. He's retired, however, he teaches this class to keep himself busy. Anatomy is a hard subject but Charlie really gives students every opportunity to succeeded. His lecture tests are hard; lecture test 3 was a real slap in the face.
