Fillmore is very helpful if you have questions. He's in his office all day and is willing to work out times you. To do good all you really have to do is show up with powerpoint and add to notes. you can get most info off slides so book not vital. If you need extra time to study you can have your test moved. TAKE HIM IF YOU CAN!!! Take him nurses

Fillmore is one of the best at EWU! While the content is difficult, he will teach you everything you need to know and help you through it every day. Sets aside a review session the night before every test! Absolutely dedicated to his work! Do the hwk for the exams and study the slides and RELAX because his tests aren't too tough.

Might as well take the class online. His slides are directly from the book and not even put in his own words. He tests on stuff he didn't talk about/cover. He always runs out of time during lectures but still expects us to know about the 15 slides he skipped through the last 10 seconds. Manages lecture time poorly. Not a quality teacher

Pass with a 4.0 even if you've decided to get a lobotomy or two - as long as you've actually done all of your homework. Entertaining & engaging lectures and very accessible during office hours (all day when he isn't in class or getting lunch). Not always the most PC but that doesn't hurt his teaching efficacy. Lots of easy to earn extra credit.

Do the extra credit and it can bump your grade a solid 10% at the end of the quarter. Anatomy is hard but this class was probably the easiest for it, 4.0 is very do-able. Re-do online assignments until you get 100% and always go in and review missed test questions as they will be on the final. Super clear on what he wants and easy to get a hold of.

Best professor I have had at Eastern. Fillmore wants everyone to get an A so he gives a lot of extra credit. However, you do need to show up and study for the exams because they are difficult, but if you put the time and work in, it should be an easy A. He sets up a great routine for the year so do what he says and you will "WIN"!

He talks too much about unrelated things and ends up running out of time EVERY DAY and records the rest of the lecture in his office instead.
