Comment:

I had to attend every lecture, record the lecture, listen to it again and then retake my notes just to get a B. "Highlights": When asked a question that was on his own exam, he could not answer. If the textbook disagreed with him, it was wrong. Literally told us that we could buy the book and read it, but it was a waste of time.

Comment:

Yeah, There were times I'd open my notes and burst into tears (you'll understand once you're rocking back and fourth, clinging to the muscle chart) Yes, his tests are so brutal, I'd walk out feeling like he just kicked me in the ribs. BUT I'm better for it. I KNOW my stuff. LARRY IS AMAZING and you'll rob yourself if you go with an easier route.

Comment:

Absolutely BEST professor. Hated him until I realized he's right: Just do everything he says, and that is know every single word that comes out of his mouth and be ready to be tested on it. It works! Record lectures, transcribe them, and use the handouts he gives. He literally gives you everything you need you just need to study it.

Not my favorite class at all, not because of the material but because of the professor and he's teaching methods.

Comment:

1) Worst professor I have ever taken 2) If you do not understand something, he will refer you back to HIS notes (they will not help) 3) His lectures are long, expect to take lots of notes. expect to transcribe those notes AFTER his lecture... expect to spend 30-40 hours studying... JUST for his class. Don't worry about your other classes.

Comment:

He is by far the worst professor I've ever had. I completely understand needing to do a lot of work outside of class, but he has said twice now that we are expected to study 30-40 hours outside of class. He doesn't teach most of the material but expects you to know absolutely everything on your own. He knows the material well, but doesn't teach it.

Comment:

He teaches lecutures well, but exam is very complicated. You really need to make efforts to take his class, and you may not get A. Grade is only based on exams. Definetly he is knowledgable in this field. If you only want to learn something not get A. highly recommend him. If you want to have A, wishing you make a right decision

Be prepared to work diligently. To ace the course, all you have to do, as he says, "is everything he tells you to do." This class is totally manageable (I took 12 credit hours and worked FT), but you must be self-motivated. Record the lectures. The tutors offer great study methods & guides! He teaches the material clearly. Will take him for 203.

Comment:

Larry is a phenominal Professor!! I've taken him for 201, 202, and will be taking him 203. His class is hard but not unreasnoable. He tells you exactly what you need to do to get an A. Put in the time and work and you'll do great. He is, by far, my favorite professor to date. He is passionate, knows the subject in and out, and loves what he does.

Comment:

Great prof. for A&P 2! What I like best is it's impossible to fall asleep during his lectures. He keeps things fast-paced and interesting. Occasionally a bit too fast. Very clear criteria on what is expected to succeed. Must attend every lecture and take good notes, because that is what you will be tested on! I hardly used the textbook at all.

A great professor. He is very clear on what you will be tested on. He gives you all the material you need. Even his TAs gives worksheets and reviews. Everything you need to know is laid out. He is a great lecturer. You definitely need to record the lectures, everything he says in lecture is testable.

He was honestly a very hard professor. If youre not on top of your stuff you will not pass this class. Do not take this class if youre working full time & have a full course load. Just a heads up guys.. this class is very stressful.

Larry is an amazing professor. His lectures are very interesting and he presents the material in a way that makes sense and is understandable. Skipping any classes is not recommended as he covers a lot during lessons. I would take his classes again any time!

He is the best professor that Ive have had so far! He is very organized and knows what he is doing! As a person speaking English as second language, he is easy to undestand and always there for you when you have questions. Just ask him if you dont understand!!! Guys! He is good! He knows what he is doing if you put forth the effort!

I have over 300 semester hours in 7 different universities... Threlfall is among the 3 top professors ever.... He knows his A&P, and he makes a serious attempt to know his students needs before the class starts. He can deliver a lecture worthy of grad school, and at the same time, tailor the lecture to the needs of each of his students.

Larry is awesome! He is very specific in what he needs you to know, and as such, he expects you to know it. Grades are only from tests, but if you listen to him and do exactly what he says, you'll do well. Nursing students who have taken his A&P classes have a 100% pass rate on the NCLEX, so it's worth the work. BUT GET READY TO WORK YOUR BUTT OFF!

Comment:

This is by far the worst professor I have ever taken. Does not help much during labs. When you ask a question he makes you feel stupid. Acording to him if you don't take his class you don't stand a chance at getting into the nursing program. Wasn't aware he had that much power *enter sarcasm here*. Will not be taking him for 202.

Larry is an amazing prof! You have to come to class and be on the Facebook page or you won't do well. A&P are hard classes and he provides a great deal of supplemental information made by previous tutors and it is extremely helpful to prepare for exams and practicals!
