Dr. Forsman is the smartest, most intelligent man I have ever met. This is not an easy class, but Dr. Forsman does what he can to help his students understand. If you really want to learn something, take any of his classes!

Of course it's hard, it's anatomy!!! Dr. Forsman keeps a website up to help his students, will answer questions even during his lunch, will help over the phone. The class is hard and it takes a lot of work, but if you work at it, you can make an A.

This is a very difficult course.Ususally his test questions are very tricky and require lots of thinking.But,he is really good about answering questions outside of class. He also gives the chance to earn extra points during the semester which is helpful.

he is hard, but if you work hard at it and put your best effort into it, then you'll pass. i liked forsman and his analogies, he is good.

This is the hardest class I have ever taken. Beware of his tests because they will bite you where it hurts...Forsman is very clear, but he expects tons of critical thinking!

He is defently hard but if your study you'll be alright, just to let you know I have never made a C in my life and i have a 75 in his class. His test are kind of tricky, he gives you 3 possiblities and and then all of the above or none of the above. It makes you second guess yourself.

If your not willing to put in some serious study time, don't bother. The info is not that complicated, its just immense so be ready. Make flash cards. His tests do require you know his notes on the web inside out. Great teacher overall, just requires that you work hard and understand the material .

He is a very intelligent man, but he is definately tough. Use his website because it is really helpful (especially for the quizzes and tests).

I've read these comments and feel I must come to the rescue of Dr. Forsman (one of the most intelligent people you'll ever meet). A&P isn't easy, but he strives to help you understand the MECHANICS of the body so you can COMPREHEND.You will learn alot unless you're dumb or don't study.I am doing well cause I work like hell. I think he is great!

This class was harder for those who do not like to study. He is a very smart guy and knows all his stuff. If you are looking to learn all you can and not complain this is the professor to take. Exams are hard only if you don't do the work. He has an awesome web site and you can buy a CD-ROM for $10 that is very helpful.

I can tell you from experience, Dr Forsman is a taste of what is to come in Nursing school. If you study at the last minute or see no point in studying the material to be covered in class (the quiz comes from what will be discussed that day), then do stay away. If you love to learn and like to come to class prepared, Forsman is for you.

This is not an easy class, but you will learn a huge amount of material. I would highly suggest taking Forsman if you are planning on continuing onto med school. Be prepared to study, he covers alot of material and the tests are very in depth but DO-ABLE!

I love Forsman!!! He is a really good teacher. He does a lot to try and help you out. He does keep you on the ball though (that helps in the long run) by having quizzes everyday (or almost everyday). Take him if you want a teacher that knows what he is talking about and gives you a lot of help!!

He provides lots and lots of material to help us, but.... He is a little unrealistic as to what we really need to know. He gives a lot of trick questions. It gets frustrating because it wasn't that I didn't know the material but his test aren't willing to reflect your knowledge rather your ability to solve puzzles. good luck! He's not that bad.

I like forsman. The best thing to do is to just get his lecture notes off of his website. His tests cover EVERYTHING he says, so just get the lecture notes. He is not a bad teacher as long as you actually STUDY.

I absolutely LOOOOOVE forsman!!! he gives you SO much help towards EVERYTHING, he records his lectures, he has TONS of practice lab eams, and he helps out in any way he can. He is an AWESOME professor and the people that do not like him are just lazy kids who did not want to study. Ya, he can be dificult, but only if you slacked off.

He's a really good professor. He will teach you everything about anatomy if you ask. ALL of the test material is online. He has his own website devoted to Anatomy class with models, diagrams, and everything else. Exams are a bit tough, but there's no reason to fail his classes.

Dr. Forsman is the best professor I have had. He is extremely helpful, and he knows his stuff! You do have to study to do well, but the class is very interesting. I would recommend to anyone.

mr forsman was the cutest little teacher. he is by far my favorite teacher at etsu. he is extremely tough but is extremely helpful. he does not trick you on the test but if anybody takes this guy then really study A LOT you will not pass if you study the night before

You must make use of all online tools available and study hard. He requires you to learn the information. As he states in class do you really want someone treating you for a medical condition that got a passing grade from extra credit or a curve??? Anyone can pass with the right amount of effort. If your lazy don't waste time taking the class!!

i don't go to etsu, but im a first year med student in australia - and found his podcasts on itunes U. i can't say just how amazing i thought his musculoskeletal anatomy lectures were. not to mention he makes it interesting and has a sense of humour.

The class is not hard but just a massive amount of**** to memorize. Forsman is a very good teacher. You learn a lot in his class, more so than other professors. It's just that there is soooo much to learn. If you take this course make sure & use online study material, like online lectures and photos. Attendance not mandatory but he will call u out

This class is hard but most people who are taking this class are pre-professional, and those students need to realize that the anatomy classes are not going to get any easier. He is a great professor & tries to help you anyway he can. He post his lectures. I wish I wouldnt have bought a book because I would just listen to the lecture.

Dr. Forsman is an amazing professor. I feel lucky that I was able to take his course. The class is very challenging, however; if you study hard and go to class one can easily make an A or high B. If you are looking to go to graduate school you need to take Forsman and get serious about your studies.

Forsman is difficult, yes, but he's getting you ready for doctorate-level study as well as some of the tougher undergrad courses dealing with the body. Study, study, study every day, even if it's just 20-30 minutes, and an A is doable. Learn the information and the concepts, but don't just memorize, or the final will bend you over.

Dr. Forsmans classes are not easy but then again they should not be. He gives you everything, and then some, you need to pass his class. YOU just need to put in the study time and lots of it. He is hard because his classes are needed for pre-med/nursing and no offense I would hope that someone who is my doctor or nurse knows what they are doing.

He is a challenging teacher, but if you actually want to learn something then he is the teacher to take. If you want to do good in his class, just listen to his class recordings and take notes off of that and you can make an A on the test. Dont waste your time studying other materials, and the book really isnt needed. Be prepared to study!

Very difficult prof. He expects you to learn evvvverything, so don't slack up on the material. The final is the toughest test you will have..All I can say is you better be prepared to spend a lot of time studying!

Dr. Forsman is one of the best teachers I have ever had. His lectures are funny and incredibly interesting. It is not an easy class..if you want to learn the minimum and not work very hard then take someone else. If you want to learn everything about Anatomy then take him. His class will make A&P II so much easier for you. Be prepared to STUDY!

He's very intellectual and knows basically everything about a&p. He's friendly and funny, and not for slackers. I had him over the summer, and spent 3-4 hours a day studying. That class was the hardest class I have ever taken, and most I have ever studied. His exams are brutal, but I recommend taking his class, even if just for the knowledge.

I actually attend college in another state, but I found Dr. Forsman's audio lectures on iTunes U. His lectures are incredible. I couldn't see him or his slides, but the way he spoke painted clear pictures in my mind. And I was able to follow his lectures along with my textbook. He is amazing!!

Yes it's a hard class but not nearly as bad as what people are saying. If I can pull a B in this class and not even finish all the homeworks anyone should be able to do it. STUDY and you will be fine. He puts every lecture on iTunes if you use them you really don't need the book.

Dr. Forsman is a brilliant teacher and expects his students to work hard. You will put in hundreds of hours studying, but you will learn SO much. Hands down this class was my favorite out of my three years of college so far. Look at his difficult tests as a dare to show him you know what's up :)

Dr. Forsman offers students so many different formats for learning the material. If a particular lecture was difficult for you to understand or you didn't feel as though you took adequate notes, his lectures are available to download via iTunes. Take advantage of the practice quizzes and do not be afraid to ask questions.

Dr Forsman is a fantastic educator. He is one of the few professors that GIVES as much as they DEMAND. I gleaned more knowledge from his class than any other I have taken

Dr. Forsman is fantastic! Granted the class is hard, as it should be. I worked my butt off. He demands a lot from his students, but he gives just as much back. I would recommend him to any student who wants to learn. If I could, I would take him again and know the whole human body better than I do after having his class once.

Miss him teaching Anatomy and Physiology!

Dr. Forsman is a very intelligent man. His class is exactly what you should expect of a medical based Anatomy class. Many tools are available to help you remember, study, and associate material. The downfall is you need to focus on a couple of his study tools that work best for you and you must know absolutely all material. Many hours of studying.

Dr. Forsman is the absolute best Anatomy teacher that I have ever had. His class is incredibly challenging and requires many hours of studying per week, however he obviously knows his stuff. He has lots of anecdotes and stories to help you remember the material. DO NOT take this class if you don't plan on using all of the time in class and lab.

Incredible teacher - his ratings on here are way too low. By far the most knowledgeable and helpful teacher I've had. Yes the course is hard, but he does everything he can to provide students with helpful material. He posts notes, lectures, labeled pictures of his models, and diagrams online. Listen in class, study, and you'll be fine.

Brilliant man. I took his class several years ago and I am now enrolled in PT school, his class prepared me for gross anatomy. Yes, it is difficult, but you shouldn't expect anything less than difficult when taking courses like this. If you plan on going to grad school/med school, TAKE HIM!!

Dr. Forsman is a brilliant professor. His class is very difficult and requires a lot of studying. However, his lectures are incredibly helpful and he provides a ton of resources online. This class was one of the highlights of my undergrad and ETSU is lucky to have a professor like Dr. Forsman.

Dr. Forsman is the best professor I have had at ETSU, and Human Anatomy is the best and most fun class I have ever had. If you are ready to put in about 20 hours a week of studying, you can and will make an A. His class is not impossible, you just need to understand that studying and practicing is your key to success in this course.

Dr. Forsman is the best professor I've ever had. Nothing prepared me more for PT school than him. Keep all of your notes and tests. They're extremely helpful if you're planning on going to med school or PT school. He will lecture you about how important things are in his class, IT'S BECAUSE THEY ARE. If you listen you'll learn so much.

take this class only if you have nothing else in life going on. this class by itself should earn you a degree. you will work in this class more than you have ever worked in your life if you wanna pass it.

Dr. Forsman is amazing. I'm in my second year of med school and I can tell you that no one will prepare you for the anatomy better than Dr. Forsman. If you plan on going to med school or PT school, you absolutely must take his 3000 human anatomy course. It's notoriously difficult for an undergrad class, but you'll be glad you took it.

I took Dr. Forsman for human anatomy and it was by far the hardest class I've taken. BUT with that being said he is an awesome teacher. You will have to study A LOT but you will also learn a lot. Don't slack on the material, you have to keep up with it. Studying is VERY necessary but he is an awesome professor.

One of the hardest and most beneficial classes I have ever taken. Not only will it give you a solid grasp of anatomy, you will also get a taste of what classes will be like in a professional school. I learned how to study, how to ingest large amounts of information quickly, and how to be a better student. Highly rcmnded for anyone willing to grow.

There is a 5 pt quiz every class over the material that will be covered that day. HW is an online program worth 200 in total. Lecture and lab exams for each unit, which are fairly challenging. Offers extra credit. Brilliant man. Will hate him while you're in the class, but miss him once you're out. Will need to study a lot, but will learn a ton.

He prepares you for medical school and physical therapy school. He is the best professor I have ever had.

STUDY! Study your notes each day after class and spend a few hours each week going over lab subjects. It is not impossible to make an A in this class. Forsman is one of the best professors in Public Health, a little arrogant, but you'll like him anyway.

This class covers a ton of material in a tiny bit of time. Lectures were awesome and I didn't find the material to be boring at all. Don't be afraid to ask questions because Dr. Forsman will be glad to explain them to you. This class will prepare you for pre-health professions but you HAVE TO STUDY and put in work to succeed.

Arrogant (and he knows it), but he DOES know his stuff. He's a tad awkward sometimes with his 1000 year old jokes but ya can't blame the guy for trying. His online resources are ESSENTIAL. The only thing that was illogical to me were his 5 pt quizzes every class (my class was at 8 am). Can be understanding. You HAVE to study hard to earn an A.

Forsman is my most favorite professor I have ever had at ETSU. He is very relatable and makes the content easy to understand if you really listen to him. Record the lecture if you need to but also read the notes he provides constantly before you come to class. You can definitely make a good grade if you take the time to study and ask questions!

Dr. Forsman was my favorite professor at ETSU. I had to retake the class because the first time i took it I did not know how to study the material. It was very helpful for me to listen to his online lectures (found in podcasts) before each class and drawing the diagrams while listening. Follow the schedule he gives you and stay a few lectures ahead

He is a very intelligent teacher and has high expectations for students. It is really not that bad as long as you read before class and take notes during lecture. I only studied a few days before the tests and came out with a B. Make sure to stay on top of the homework. He is the best option for Human anatomy hands down

Forsman teaches an undiluted pure human anatomy course (nearly graduate level). Test heavy, so find practice tests and quiz yourself on the models thoroughly. I left with an A in physical exams and B in Lab exams for a B+. Expect to commit >15H per week. Worth it if interested in med school. If not, take A&P and save that GPA.

I absolutely loved Dr. Forsman! Wasnt a huge fan of the class but only because it was a very lecture heavy class, and Im not the kind of person who can sit still for 3 hours. He has been one of my favorite teachers so far. Its a hard class but is so worth the knowledge you gain. I would definitely take him again, but maybe not this class.

The most difficult class I have taken in undergrad, but Dr. Forsman makes it clear on what he expects. Study more than you have ever studied before, and you will do fine. It is a hard class, but you will learn a lot.

Most people don't like Forsman because his class is hard. Despite how difficult the class is he really does try to help you learn, he just expects you to put in the work. There is a lot of information presented to you, so you really have to study a lot. If you study a lot, do all the assignments, and participate, it is an amazing class.

Dr. Forsman is an incredible professor. The class is very hard, but it is possible to do well if you put in the work. Dr. Forsman is extremely smart and gives a lot of information during the lectures, so make sure to pay attention in class. Study the lab models and use the resources that he gives, DO THE EXTRA CREDIT, and you will be fine.

Dr. Forsman is the smartest and best professor in the Health Sciences Department at ETSU!

Absolutely love Dr. Foresman. What a man.

He is by far the best professor I have ever had. His class is extremely difficult and there is a lot of material, but as long as you devote the time to focus on the models and resources he gives you, you will do fine. DO NOT wait until the day before, or even the week before, to start studying. He really prepares you for grad school.. THE BEST!

Dr. Forsman is definitely a brutal professor. He is very serious about the material and will make sure you learn it. Although his class is very difficult, everything he asks on exams is fair and reasonable. The only complaint is the quizzes before class, those are annoying. He offers some extra credit, make sure you do it, it will save your grade.

Good professor, VERY difficult exams

Dr. Forsman was a great professor, there is just a lot of material to be learned in a short amount of time! Pre-studying before class is HUGE! Also, the homework can really help with visualization. OPEN LAB is so important as well! You just have to go in with a plan and stick to it!

Dr. Forsman is AMAZING! I cannot express enough how good of a professor he is. Is Human Anatomy a difficult course? Yes. However, if you go in with a plan and work hard, it's possible to make an A. His tests are difficult, but there are quizlets to practice with for both the exams and pre-lecture quizzes. Attendance is a MUST, but you will learn!!

HSCI3000 is a challenging course, but Dr. Forsman is an excellent professor. Treat it like a part-time job - commit 15-20 hours per week, use resources like unstuckstudy, and you'll do well. Attend open labs and stay engaged in class for the best results.

Allan Forsman is a great professor! His class is extremely difficult but he gives you all the material you need to succeed.

Writing this after having taken this class twice. If you want to pursue a higher education in a health related field, this is the class to take. You have to put in the work, and if you do, you will appreciate the way he teaches and how strict he is.
