Honestly I thought he was a pretty nice guy, always was very helpful during office hours. Im assuming the bad reviews are because he pushes students to actually understand the material instead of memorize, which is how it should be. Tests can be difficult because of the wording, but definitely very possible to do very well.

I took BIOS 1300 with Aaron Perey and I honestly loved the course. I understand it can be challenging- it's a weed out class; But he will go above and beyond to make sure you understand the material. He would meet my study group countless times to answer our questions and clarify topics. You're going to have to work hard but he WILL help you :)

I took BIOS 1300 last fall with Aaron Perey and he's still my favorite professor. I understand the class is hard- it's a weed out class; But he will go above and BEYOND to make sure you understand material. He met my group countless times to clarify and explain things. He WILL help you succeed- you just need to ask him!

He seems to get a bad rep on here but I'm not sure why. I really do think he's a great professor and students who struggle may take it out on the professor instead of recognizing it could be their learning style that holds them back. I've never seen him not help a student in need, be ready to not just memorize but MASTER material.

Hard class but a good guy! Good luck!

Dr. Perey was extremely kind and helpful when needed. He doesn't want you to fail, but it is a hard class so you must meet him with the same energy that he puts into lectures.

Dr. Perey was one of the best professors I've had at OU. I'm now a sophomore and I took his class my freshman year. If you invest in the class (like you are supposed to do) he will help you succeed in any way he can. He knew almost all students by name in our 300 person lecture. It is important to invest in the class; it is not easy at all.

I honestly really liked Dr. Perey. He genuinely cares for the wellbeing of his students. He helped me get through a tough time in my life and I am forever grateful. However, his tests are insane. I had private tutoring and everything. I understand that it's a hard class, but this class was wayyy to difficult for a 1000-level course.

I don't understand Perey's low rating on here. I thought he was a good professor and enjoyed the class with him. The material is difficult and you have to put a lot of time in to the course to be successful but he is willing to meet with you and wants you to do well.

I dont think people realize how much studying theyre gonna have to do when they start the class. He did say somethings like only 50% pass the class each semester at the beginning which I thought was unnecessary and just made people mad. Overall, hes very nice and if you go to his office hours he will talk with you about anything.

All around a good class if you put in the time to study. He recommended starting to study for exams a week in advance which I would say helped a lot. Extra credit homework assignments saved my grade and brought it up 4% so I would definitely do it. Lectures can be boring and he flies through content. Sometimes we got through 2 chapters in 1 class.

All in all Dr Perey is not a bad professor I learned very quicly on that you really need to take the time to study for this class This is what most people don't understand and get upset when they fail the class He offers extra credit that can boost your grade up by almost half a letter he takes pride in his students who also take pride in him

Perey is an overall great professor in my option. He does go fast in lectures, but all you have to do is reach out to him. He really helped me when I reached out and he was understanding about my situation.

First semester teaching immunology and he was absolutely amazing. Truly cares about each of his students performing well in the course. He keeps lectures engaging and interesting & creates a conductive learning place for students to learn. Test heavy, but the exams were never too difficult. The course is not hard if you put the time into it!

I enjoyed having Perey for both semesters of A&P. The class is tough but manageable

I agree that Perey is a difficult professor. His classes are very difficult, but he is honestly such a good person. I did not do well on my first exam in 1300 and did not think I would even pass the class, but he worked with me and talked me through everything for the rest of the year and I did very well in his class. It is not for the weak tho lol

I find Dr. Perey quite entertaining and fun to learn from. His class can be very tough for those who are not willing to put in the work. But, he is 100% willing to help you with the content not just outside of class but also during lectures. You can pass if you are putting in just as much effort as he is.

its a rigorous class, don't take this if you're looking for the basics and have no use for it later on

Hard class but a good professor. A lot of extra credit is available if you do on time, very easy extra credit. I'm not that smart and I'm ending with a C-

Dr. Perey is a great professor; people say mean things for no reason. Sometimes he gets frustrated but only after people will ask the dumbest questions about straightforward content he's already covered. Go to lecture, find a study buddy, and study. Do the extra credit that doesn't take long and ASK QUESTIONS, especially in the lab. You got it:)

Perey is honestly a great professor and although his class is extremely challenging, it is because he wants us to really know the material. The questions on the exams are ridiculously specific and slightly unreasonable but still manageable. He does offer easy extra credit though throughout the semester and I would not have passed without it.

I love Dr. Perey!! His class is pretty difficult, but he's 100% willing to help, his office hours are amazing for asking questions or just talking about anatomy! He also does online review sessions before exams. There's a lot a material to study but it's not bad. There is a textbook, but I've never read it once lol

I think we should be fair when we say our opinion about Dr perey He is a good person, and as long as you work hard to study, you will find the questions easy, and if they are difficult, then that is a challenge for you. I think an intelligent person will not refuse the challenge

I love Dr. Perey! Yes, his class is challenging but he is willing to work with you!! I would recommend getting a tutor or going to office hours to break down his lecture slides. His exams aren't definitions based, they are based on understanding. You need to understand the content in order to do good on your exams.

If you are actually willing to work hard then he is a very accessible teacher who is willing to help you. Period the end. He has all these bad reviews but maybe 10 or 15 kids actually showed up for office hours consistently throughout the year. If you study, you will do fine. If you don't, you won't. Simple as that.

So many people have issues with Dr. Perey, but personally, I love him. He is the sweetest man, and he wants you to pass his class. Yes, his exams are hard, but he basically gives you what is on the test. He also gives extra credit, and if you do all of it, it will rise your grade about 5%. Just go to class, memorize his slides, and you will pass.

This class is difficult, but if you show up and study well you will be fine. Tests are hard, but he basically pulls all the questions from his lecture slides, which he posts on blackboard. Don't waste time reading the textbook. There are also a ton of easy extra credit assignments that can raise your grade by 5%. Dr. Perey isn't out to get you.

While this is a difficult class, if you pay attention and study the slides, you will do fine. The slides can be confusing or organized oddly at times, but they have everything you need for the exams. He gives lots of opportunities for bonus points, so make sure you do them. I didn't like that the lectures and labs to not coincide in material.

Dr. Perey gets a bad rap for BIOS 1300 and 1310 a lot. Yes, the class is very challenging, but if you go to every lecture, do all the extra credit, go to office hours, and go to all the SI sessions you'll do fine. Every pre-nursing major has to take his class, so he is forced to make the course difficult to weave out students.

Although he is tough, he is a super well-rounded professor. I also had him for lab section, which definitely helped, but he is always willing to answer any questions you have. He gets a bad rep, but honestly if you have a conversation with him, he's very open to helping you in whatever way you need! He's super nice and has passion for his job.

I know a lot of people dislike Dr. Perey and he teaches the anatomy for pre-nursing students. What you have to realize is this is not high school and you don't get your hand held through the class. His exams are VERY difficult and you do need to prepare and study your very hardest. However, he gives you all the materials you need and extra credit.

This class was very difficult but if you are willing to put in the work you will do well. You have to go to class to understand what is going on in his power points because they are very broad. He gives lots of extra credit take advantage! Tests are difficult, memorize his lectures and teach to friends is what I did to study.

Dr. Pereys BIOS 1300 and 1310 are hard classes. Yes, the point of these classes is to see who can put in the time and effort to pass the class. The lowest exam grade I got was an 80%. STUDY THE SLIDE SHOWS!!!!! His tests come directly from his slides. If you know that information well you will do just fine. He is a good teacher, go to office hours!

Everyone hates Perey, but he's so funny and very clearly cares about the class. I think people who dislike him are more often than not just people who are already not doing well in the class, and take it out on him. He's really just a funny nice guy who's teaching a hard class.

This class isn't easy but it's not supposed to be! Dr. Perey gets a bad rep but its only because people don't put in the work to succeed. He gives you every chance to do well: bonus points, exam reviews, etc. DO THE SMARTBOOKS! they give you 5% bonus. Exam questions are directly from the slides, study them! No homework so grade is very exam heavy.

While this class was the hardest class I have ever taken, it was also the most rewarding. Professor Perey is VERY accessible outside of the classroom and truly wants his students to succeed. He gets a bad rep due to the difficulty of his course, but you get what you put into this class and is by no means impossible

He is a very sweet and helpful man, he is very helpful when meeting one on one. He gives so many resources to help you understand. It is a hard class but he is very helpful.

Anatomy and physiology is a very hard class but Dr. Perey goes out of his way to make it as easy as possible. There are a lot of bonus questions/extra points given in the class and he normally curves the exams by a few points. Dr. Perey is just a chill guy whose very passionate about anatomy and physiology.

Dr. Perey is a smart guy that's willing to help, but you have to really understand the stuff if you want to pass exams. If you go to office hours and put in the work, you'll do fine. He gets a bad rep because people don't want to study.

A&P II is very different from A&P I and significantly harder, so make sure that you are studying. Don't wait until the last second: try and study as he goes through the lecture slides. Tbh the exams sometimes make zero sense but he is very accessible outside of class and kind when you are asking questions. Go to the PAL + Teams exam reviews!

Aaron Perey loves what he teaches and will do whatever he can to help you, I personally have my with him several times and find it very very helpful, his course is difficult but the material is. He tries to help you however he can.

Dr Perey is the best. I love his lectures he gives so much effort in explaining and simplifying the concepts. Everything is very organized and ready for us to study. He always seems happy and excited when he is teaching and his positive energy is what made me love anatomy and physiology.

Incredibly passionate and knowledgeable about his profession. If you know his slides you will do good on the exams. If you have questions go to office hours and ask, don't be scared of him. He is super caring but strict with exams and don't bother trying to cheat, it won't work. Just go to class, pay attention, and study the content.

Dr Perey is the GOAT. Second only to LeBron. He has such a positive attitude and is very organized. Very knowledgeable in Anatomy and Physiology. The Lectures go by fast and there is a lot of information given each Lecture. Lecture + the Lab each week is very hard and there is so much to study. YOU NEED TO STUDY DAILY TO PASS.

He is super passionate about anatomy and knows a lot of information. He ended up curving all of our exams, and he is dropping everyone's lowest exam score. Don't let people fool you, his exams aren't bad at all. You just need to study his slides and memorize them, and you'll do good on them.

Alright Perry class is a mix of hard and easy and hears why be prepared to burn out you have to memorize the slides top to bottom or your cooked I fear the first 2 test were a breeze but that 3 and 4 ooo yeah crazy he make long multiple choice question that by the time you read the options you forget what it's even asking it's definitely do able :)

A&P is not easy but is doable, his exams are only based on his lecture slides so really study those and I mean memorize those entirely. The homework is only 0.55 to 0.56 points so the exams are weighted very heavily. I don't know if next he'll do the same but every exam was curved, and you get to drop your lowest exam grade.

Beware of the test the wording is confusing but overall a good teacher

I don't know why Perey has received so many bad ratings. He is a great guy and always willing to help. Yes, the class is hard but it has to be that way if you really want to be in healthcare. Exam questions come straight from lecture slides. Great person.

Dr. Perey is a wonderful professor; he is very engaging and loves what he does. However, this is a very difficult class, and I believe that some of the ways that he goes about his material can throw some students off. Still, he urges students to contact him outside of class and offers all the resources he can.

Perey is amazing and very passionate about the subject. He can talk fast during lectures and it's a lot of material to teach yourself. I recommend studying for exams 5 days before since the exams cover a lot of information. He takes his time to cover material and uses top hat as a great way to test our understanding.

If you put in the work outside of class you will be fine. Go to pals and the study sessions he hosts. You need to study to do good in this class. I recommend a week in advance and study his EXACT slideshows. The people that fail are those that DO NOT STUDY, do not be worried.

Professor Perey gets a bad rep because he teaches one of the harder subjects at the university. Everything that can be on the exam is in the slideshows so if you're effectively studying ALL the material, you will get at least a B. He curves grades to C average. Lecture material aligns with lab which makes understanding content easier.

He gets a bad rap, but honestly, he is not that bad. He is nice and very passionate about this subject, which you can tell. The class is hard, but if you study his exact lecture slides, you will do well on the exams. He drops the lowest lecture exam and curves almost all the exams. It is tough but if you study you will pass.

The only people doing very well in this class are geniuses. His exams are very complicated and the only way to do well is to devote all your free time for this class. He is very nice and is willing to help his students out as much as possible. He curves exams massively due to poor averages which is nice. You need to study massively to do decent.

Tough class but professor is very caring and really cares about what he is teaching. He provides all the resources needed to succeed and is more than willing to help those who ask for help. This class is very difficult because of the amount of stuff covered and pace of the class but really like the professor.

Dr. Perey has a bad reputation but I honestly think he is a great professor! Anatomy and physiology is a very difficult class, but it is doable. He is passionate about the subject and you can tell he truly cares. The exams are really hard and the homework assignments barely raise your grade, but he does curve. He is always willing to help students.

Truly an amazing professor. Although I've seen a lot of bad reviews, he is super talented & knowledgeable in his work. Studying is super important, and the exams are hard; but I feel like after the first exam, it's easier to prepare for future ones. Dr. Perey is passionate & my learning experience was amazing in his class. I highly recommend him!

Professor Perey is great at lecturing and explaining what's on the slides very clearly as he is definitely passionate about what he teaches. The exams are just extremely tricky. It is possible to pass, you just need to spend a lot of time learning the slides. Don't focus on textbook or McGraw, memorize the slides.

I thoroughly enjoyed having Dr. Perey as a professor. Admittedly, had previous A&P knowledge, but his course is far more in-depth, BUT I believe that he is incredibly clear about what it takes to pass. It is test-heavy because the course is SO large. TRUST, use your resources! THEY HELP, and if you remember through stories, Perey is great for that!
