Professor Aulner is a wonderful instructor. You will work hard for your grade but he applies a lot of the information to everyday life scenarios making topics easier to understand. His lectures are very informative, thorough and enjoyable as he has a sense of humor. He takes a great deal of pride in his work and goes the extra mile for his students

Although he's a good professor, his tests are really hard. He's really funny but I wish he spent that time to actually explain the objectives. I learned a lot from him, but I would pick a different professor for 224.

Amazing professor. Explains things very well, which my other friends envy. Pros:hilarious, lectures were never boring even online. Cons:Tests were super hard! you have to note everything he says to ace his exams, doesn't cover everything that's on the objective list, you will have to read a lot. Will take him for 224, I learned a lot from his class

Dwane is a great. All his tests questions come from lecture, so really pay attention and take good notes. He is funny and relates A&P to every day things. I enjoyed his class and did well. He gives great feedback and study tips based on missed questions, so utilize him. He just wasn't a good fit my personal learning style, I had to work for my A.

Had him for 223 and 224 Lecture. You get what you put in. Make sure to do the Objectives. It will make your life much easier. His way of teaching is great because he makes you understand concepts that are needed for future professions. I would strongly recommend him but make sure to put in the effort because if you don't, don't expect to get an A

I really like this professor. Hes head of the science labs and he took over during the switch to online due to covid 19 and I really enjoyed him. From what I could gather he seemed like a good teachers . I appreciated the pnemonics and other helpful hints he provided. He was recommended by the ICU nurse who took care of my grandma <3

I would recommend taking him for 223 and 224 so you can create a routine with the way you study. He was an amazing professor, very upfront and old school. My advice would be to take notes on the book, because the diagrams he recommends help a lot. USE HIS HANDY DANDY HANDOUTS. I studied A LOT for his class so no cutting corners at all.

Thank you Professor Aulner for getting through the struggles of online class as we deal with this virus. He was awesome before this shutdown and still continues to do his best for his students. He is an old school professor and in my opinion thats what makes him so awesome. Study hard and u will pass this class no prob.

Come to class, record the lectures, do your objectives and you will do good. I spent 15 hours a week on average studying for lecture, not including lab. I was never asked about material he did not cover in lecture or have in his objectives. You have to put in the work.

Comment:

Prof. Aulners class was tough. Hard tests, doesnt go over everything in class, expects you to know the objectives he gives you BUT his objectives are pretty much the whole book. Be ready to dedicate your time to studying for this class. His tests are more advanced than what he teaches in class which is annoying.

Not hard. Explains things in similes. I recorded lectures, rewrote notes, studied off the objectives he gives us. Have to really understand what is going on. Cannot base this off memory alone. Will take for 224. Tests are complex and need to understand the content, based on Content Mastery. No extra assignments. Just tests and lab points.

Come to class, get the book, record his lectures. Listen to the lectures as you do the objectives. He covers most of objectives in his lecture. You get out what you put in. Grade based on exams and lab only. Test questions are conceptional. Loved him.

Comment:

I loved Aulner, I took him both for 223 and 224 and passed both classes. Doesn't use Canvas. Attendance is mandatory to pass the class because he goes over a lot of information in class. He does give objective to follow, he does not go over all of them in class so be prepared to put in hours to complete. MUST STUDY, you have to earn your grade.

Good luck taking this class with him. Very thought grader, the objectives are not all covered in class. Expects you to learn the objectives yourself. Go with another teacher and save your GPA. WORST MISTAKE I'VE EVER MADE IN MY LIFE!

Lots of people love him, personally I don't you are given a list of extremely detailed list of objectives which he may or may not cover in class. Forced to do a lot of reading of material that was never explained and then be able to test on it. Be prepared to do a lot of Google/Youtube videos. Material he did go over is very good and organized.

Comment:

Professor Aulner is so humorous; I can learn a lot of things but will not feel overwhelmed. He will give you his memory trick and many examples to help you learn the knowledge . I took his Biol 223 and Biol 224 lecture. He is very patient and would like to answer any of your questions. He is one of the best Biology professor I have met at CSN.

learned most of the content in lecture, so had less study time outside of class. teaches in a descriptive, memorable, and mnemonic way. wouldn't have survived the TEAS science portion without this teacher. highly recommend him, A&P is naturally hard so you shouldn't expect much at all; however, this professor is great in simplifying the material.

Personally think he is a great professor. Attendance is necessary to pass because he gives alot of good information during lectures! Pay attention to ALL the lecture, including small details. Those are sometimes the test questions. Because he doesnt go over all objectives in class you will need the book.
