The class was very tough and while he was an excellent teacher and went through the material with you, the tests were a problem. He is very picky and will take numerous points off of a question that has the right answer but not the BEST answer. His questions are also pretty unclear as to what he wants to know. Great teacher, fun class, HARD class.

Dr. C is a caring and passionate teacher. His exams are very challenging and much outside work is needed to excel.

You just e-mail him or post your comments in his blog. I highly recommend anyone to take this class, it's very straight foward. You can review lectures archive as much as you can. Dr. C give extra credits, participation points are earn by posting on Dr. C's physiology blog. If you are looking for an easy "A", this is not a class for you.

Dr. C is a great professor whose lectures are delivered online. The content is explained in great detail and the fact tha you can listen to them at any time makes it even better.Anyone who has to take physiology should take him...he is also very helpful if you need extra explanation on a certain area. This guy knows his stuff!!!!

Online class, definitely not for everyone! Lectures should be LIVE, not archived. It is much more helpful to be able to ask questions as they come up, not a week later! You will not have great access to this professor, as he lives in another state. It is obvious that this class is not a top priority to him.

Took this teacher for online class. He seemed very organized and always got back very quickly with any questions. It was a little hard becuase we had essay questions only on the midterm and final, so we had to remember all of the information for a long time. Cummulative final, but not too much stuff on final from rest of semester.

Physio online is 8 hours a day Monday through Friday. Lectures are enjoyable and crystal clear. There is a disconnect between lectures & test. If you are an A student just go with it...you will probably get Bs most tests, but in the end an A might be yours if you strive with the help of a little EC. It is clear that Dr. C is one of the good guys!
