He is very interesting. He loves anatomy and physiology. His test are straight forward and he gives review and a HELPFUL study guide. If you want a complete understanding TAKE him. He is an easy professor but you must STUDY the info (alot). That is not a problem because every A&P is alot of info.He gives easy bonus questions on the test, easy extra

Extremely bright young man. Do not underestimate him or his classes. Heavy textbook useage, heavy on the lectures and tests are 8-12 pages long. You must attend classes because he give lots of quizzes and many of his exam questions come from notes from his lectures. A combination of lecture notes, quizzes, attendance are required to pass his class.

A very corny teacher. He has he lamest jokes. He is extremely verbose, he loves to hear himself talk. He needs to be more concise when it comes to the labs, there is no reason to lecture for almost 3 hrs in a lab!

This is my third class by Dr.McCollum and as always he is one of the best professors at Florida A&M University. He's always late to his classes, goes about an hour over the allotted time, and makes you wait about an hour to take your test, but he's a swell teacher. Utilize his powerpoints and study guides because they will help you the most.

MCcollum is really going on some kind of power trip. Anatomy I was way easier then AnatomyII.

If you pay attention in class and study all of the figures listed on the review sheet, youll do fine. Just because you have to EARN an A or a B in his class doesnt make him a bad proffesor.

Had him for A&P 1 and pass with an A but I would not recommand him for A&P 2 . Lots lots lots of information and the test are hard you would have to study really hard and can not study last minute you will fail. I would find someone else to take for A&P 2.

Love Dr. McCollum. He is very passionate. I recommend printing out the power points and write notes. Highlight the powerpoint pictures that he says is going to be on the exam and study them. His exam reviews are already available and if you study them exactly, you will get an A in this class. Study to pass. He gives extra credit opportunities.

Skip class? You won't pass.

He is passionate about the subject and is very knowledgeable which is great,but he gets carried away and rambles on and on a bit too frequently. Its a whole lot of a material to learn so dont study today for tomorrow. He is petty however, and if the class makes a role he completely ignores it and makes his own.

i honestly didn't do well but it isnt his fault. I hate lectures and if you do too dont take him. Also, he does like 3 chapters a test.. which i didnt like.. if you have no problem with a huge workload and limited time to prepare for an exam, take him. he does provide plenty of extra credit opportunities.

His tests are very hard and difficult to pass but he offers extra credit before you take the test and curves it as well. He also likes to do donations for extra credit. Take him at your risk, make above a 50% on every test and you'll pass with a B or higher. He drops the lowest test too. Everybody will pass his class, guaranteed!

Professor MuCollum is by far the best Anatomy teacher on Florida A&M campus. His lectures are very interesting and shows that he really cares about the correct information that we are receiving. You will definitely have to work for the A but it helps you build character in the long run. An Anatomy book edition will work just fine. STUDY STUDY! -A

If this is your first semester for A&P I recommend that you don't take him at all! This class is extremely difficult for no reason. If it had not been for the COVID-19 pandemic and Wills study sessions, I would've failed this class. I recommend that you find someone else to take. Do Not Take Him for LAB especially, TRUST ME!!!!!

Dr. McCollum was a great professor and loves what he does. His grading scale is not weighted so you only fail if you try. He drops the lowest test or quiz average (depending on which is lower) including the final. His test are very long so make sure u use the study guide!

He is excited about teaching. Attending the lectures isn't that important as they are posted, but he does do random quizzes that don't count for too much. You must do a lot of Labsters, which are easy, but time-consuming. His tests are long, but not too difficult if you study and they're just taken canvas. He will be late and go over time in class.

Great professor. No lockdown. Quizzes are easy. Gives extra credit for exams and for your grade. Exams are an easy 70-100 questions. Most material for exams are in the powerpoints. Sometimes late to class but not too much. Recommend him over the other anatomy professors. Not hard if you study before hand. Definitely should use Quizlet for studying.

Had him for lab and lec in the fall (BSC2085). Recommend the lec but not lab. Just overwhelmingly too much to memorize. 2nd exam is a lab practical which was hard. He does curve tests. No lockdown but does have students from other classes proctor. He does give extra credit all semester. I wouldn't take him for lab again but definitely lecture.

I would not recommend for Lab. His test can vary from 70-100 questions. They are beyond hard and every question is multiple choice with 7 choices or fill in diagrams that he expects you to know without going over it. Class test average was a 42%. Attendance is not mandatory but if only a few show up, he will use it as a quiz grade. Good Luck.

I enjoyed mr.

I took Dr. McCollum's Anatomy I Lecture. He does not take attendance, but he does have "attendance pop quizzes" that can not be made up. Additionally, his test are very lengthy and are based on his lectures (250+ PP slides). If you get anything below a B in this class, it is simply because you did not put in enough effort to study the powerpoints.

Taken Dr. McCollum for Anatomy 1 and 2 and will assert he is a great professor, however, lectures are long and he often jokes a lot to the point where he has to rush through the slides at the end, so be prepared to study on your own. Hard to fail this class, he grades based on the total number of points you earn.
