Lectures are boring but he does the best he can considering it's Anatomy and Physiology. He's funny when he puts his leg on the table and gives good sayings to remember stuff. Wording on his tests can be confusing sometimes, but he does grade on a curve so that's helpful. Make sure you study a lot. Know the slides inside out & you'll do fine.

It's not a matter of him being a tough teacher, but the material itself can be really tough to understand. You don't have to go to class, but you really should go because he changes the powerpoint slides. The secret to passing the class is taking the time to study the slides well before each exam, meaning not the night before. Good luck!

Only things that are graded are tests. If you don't put in the work you won't pass, but if you study then you will do fine. All of the information is clearly handed to you on color coded power points so you do not need a book. Would highly recommend.

-Doesn't assign a textbook -Reads over slides, rarely explains any of the material -Doesn't give many real life examples -Grade based on 4 exams & small attendance grade -Final was optional -Checks attendance sometimes This may sound appealing to people who do not like a lot of work, however you have to do A LOT of work to be successful in A&P

Dr. Hogue was hilarious! His lectures always had powerpoints that students could print and take extra notes on. The class is a lot of information, however if you go through the powerpoints and make sure you understand everything, the tests are straightforward. Also his lab was sooo easy. He gave you pretty much the exact pictures that were on exam.

Really cool professor. I enjoyed taking this course the most. Hogue made it easy to learn what we needed to and didn't add anything extra. Makes a lot of hilarious dad jokes and gives extra credit. There are only 4 exams, and an optional final. Exams are straightforward if you pay attention and take notes you'll be fine. Overall loved this course

Dr. Hogue was an AMAZING professor! He is super down to earth, and tries to make lectures fun. He is very open to people asking questions after class or at office hours. He tries to work with you and your schedule, so that was very helpful. His class is very challenging, but what A&P class isn't?! I highly recommend Dr. Hogue!

Dr. Hogue was a really decent teacher. The class is only really graded on the exams which can be scary, but don't wait until the last minute to study! All of the information is on his lecture slides. What I did is to go over some of the slides BEFORE class, so you have some understanding so you aren't lost during lecture, and to ask questions.

Dr. Hogue is a really great professor. He makes it clear from the beginning how everything is laid out in class. You will have to put in a lot of work especially if you need a certain grade for different programs. Attend most lectures and find a good way to study and you'll do okay.

He gives extra credit for coming to class, lets us out 15 minutes early every class, and gives us study guides for the labs and tests. Super duper easy intro lab science. Just make sure you study for the exams, you only get 4 of them so while theyre easy, theyll tank your grade if you fail.

Dr. Hogue's class only had 4 tests and an optional cumulative final. As long as you pay attention in class and take good notes you should be fine. His lectures were engaging but sometimes it was easy to doze off. The lab part was easy. You just identify parts of the human body and the tests were to just name it with correct spelling.

Hogue was an amazing professor for a course as tough as anatomy is. Even with the semester being online, he made It very interesting through his lectures and gave many opportunities to receive a good grade. He is very clear about what he will test you on so there is no surprises. Anatomy was my favorite class by far through out college!!

This professor is really good! I truly enjoyed his class because he educates you on matters that are actually relevant! You definitely have to study for the exams but he makes it pretty simple on the material you should focus on. It is bolded and in red in the power points.

I enjoyed Professor Hogue as a person, but not a teacher. His lectures were thorough and a lot of information, so be prepared for that. If you have him for lecture, you will only have exam grades. If you thought you studied a lot, you need to study even harder for this class to pass. I even asked for tips and was already doing what was suggested

Incredible professor, he taught me so much about A&P in a clear cut, understandable way. Be prepared to study very hard for lecture exams. There are ~100 powerpoint slides for each exam and he will test you on all of them. However, he makes it very clear what needs to be done to pass, and wants his students to succeed. Work hard and you will pass.

Please take Dr. Hogue for 215 he is seriously the best professor. So caring and gives extra credit opportunities to boost your score at the end of the semester if you are struggling. The whole class is just lecturing so my advice to ace this class is put in the work. review and rewrite notes every night from lecture and you will pass. Do not slack.

The course is separated into 4 units, each unit comes with a set of lecture slides which he goes through in class. He clearly loves what he does and is very knowledgeable. At the end of each unit is a test, the questions comes from the information on the slides so if you're familiar with the slides then you're set!

Loved this professor and really made me understand and pass anatomy. The only thing I did not like about this specific class was there were no other grades other than exams, which made it hard to get a good grade. Hogue is a great professor and someone you can have a connection with.

Class is very hard so please pay attention and do si/tutoring. Otherwise I loved dr. Hogue. He's very intelligent and knows how to break concepts down for students to understand. He's also very funny so I liked going to his lectures. I will say that his office hours are kinda annoying because he's not very accessible. All in all I really liked him!

Anatomy is not an easy subject, but Professor Hogue does a good job at teaching this course. If you take notes during lecture, you'll make it through. I also had him for lab and LOVED it (I got an A in lab). Make sure to STUDY before exams, b/c exams are the only graded assignments.
