Great teacher. His leactures are interesting. He tells everything you need to know about anatomy and physiology in a fun way. Hard class but he is helpful.
bradly fillmore is the best professor ever in biology department.EWU are so lucky to have him b/s he is the smartest person I have ever seen.everyone understand the material easily even myself b/s he teaches well.I did verywell (A+)in his class.he must be awarded for professor of the year.I suggest you to take his class especially medical students
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 a great teacher. He's the best teach i've had so far. He's into the subject and is really helpful. He answers all questions and lets you take your test when your ready. He's funny and keeps the class going. You don't need the book which is nice!! TAKE HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very helpful. Very knowledgeable and helpful. Gave everyone who came in costume for Halloween extra credit. Tests are all multiple choice, plus a chance for 5 extra credit points, which are pretty impossible to miss. Lab was ok.
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. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
fillmore is one of the best professors I've ever had! he really knows his stuff and his dedication to his students is incredible. human a&p is hard, in general, but his class is relatively easy. he is great with clarity and even better about answering questions so if you know the material, you're going to be happy with the grades you receive.
If you are a nursing or dental hygiene major take Fillmore for the bio series. He is a great teacher! He is always willing to help and you can tell he really loves teaching this subject. His list questions on the multiple choice tests can be a little tricky but if you go to class and take notes on the power points you will do great!
I took Dr. Fillmore for all three sections of A&P and I have to say that he's my favorite college prof I've ever taken and this was such a fun/interesting class! I got a 4.0 outta all his classes b/cuz he uses powerpoints to lecture so you can just study off of those! His tests are pretty easy but he is always in his office and loves to get to know
SO nice! Fillmore is my favorite professor, simply because he loves what he does and he is more than willing to help anyone who needs help.
He's the best Biol teacher I have ever had!!! He loves what he teaches and he goes out of his way to help you! I remember one time he showed us an "Home school rock" cartoon song about the brain to help us remember and relax before the test! How cool is that!
Excellent teacher. His lectures are clear, he gives you everything you need to ace the class. He also makes the class interesting and meorable, aiding in the ease of the class. Never had a better teacher.
Best teacher ever! Helpful and clear. Definetely wants you to succeed!
Before I took this, I was so scared of anatomy and physiology, and because of Fillmore it turned out to be my favorite class. He really loves what he is teaching, he is always around to help and his lectures are very clear.
Amazing professor! Very clear! Truly loves what he does and loves his students. He is always willing to help students when they need help. Very funny. Really explains things thoroughly and uses great examples. Goes through powerpoints really fast though! Best professor I have ever had!
AWESOME TEACHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVED HIM! I sucked at biology-wasn't my thing so it was hard for me, but HE IS THE BOMB! sooooo funny and understanding!
Great professor, I took the 232 class over the summer (4 weeks) and was a lot more manageable than I thought it would be. To be honest I liked it even more than the rest of the series. Fillmore knows how to teach, and will be very fair in grading. Just put forth a little effort and 4.0 is easily obtained.
He is and awesome teacher! I love the way he is so passionate about what he does. By far the best teacher i have had at ewu! Definatly take him!
I had Dr. Fillmore for all my A&P courses and he is an awesome professor! Very willing to help, excellent lectures, and tests are fair. The tests are all multiple choice/true and false,they can be tricky, mostly just because there is so much info in the class. Fantastic teacher! He will make sure you succeed!
Great teacher! loves his course material so he teaches it great. A&P def a tough course, but put in work and go to lecture and you'll be fine.
Fillmore is probably the best instructor I've ever had. He's always available, super understanding & flexible, and he explains things in a way that it's easier to understand. His metaphors are awesome, too! I highly recommend this professor; in fact, I would recommend taking A&P at EWU just so you can have Fillmore as an instructor.
Fillmore is the single greatest professor I've ever had...I honestly don't understand how anybody could not like him! It is his goal to make you succeed in his class. I feel sad for anyone who will never have him as a professor because he is so legit.
Best teacher ever. His clarity in teaching and excitment about the subject matter is unmatched. He cares deeply about the success of each student and will help anytime. You can tell that he loves to teach. If you can take him for A&P
I never actually comment about teachers always just look at what everyone else has to say, but I had to for Fillmore...GREATEST teacher I have ever had..he makes you love the material and does whatever he can for you to succeed..he made me want to go to medical school and realize I can
He is a fantastic Professor. I dreaded taking anatomy for a long time but Professor Fillmore goes above and beyond to make sure you get the material, he also makes it interesting. However, showing up to class is a must!
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
You will never forget Filldaddy. He becomes your daddy as he takes you step by step through our complicated system, and makes it enjoyable and hilarious. He has the best humor when approaching this indepth subject. Don't listen to anyone complaining because obviously they couldn't take the heat!! You MUST put time into it.
The material we cover is very interesting. However, I assumed Fillmore would be a lot clearer and better professor based on the majority of these reviews. He is OKAY but not the best. Relies on the book too much, includes topics in tests he didn't cover, and always says things are "easy" when they clearly aren't. Bummed he didn't turn out better
Filmore = best teachers i have ever taken. His tests are 20 T/F and 30 multiple choice and usually 1 or 2 matching sections. usually 5 EC questions on each test. 5 tests.offers 10EC points added to lowest test by participation of fun activities.not the easiest class series -so study! labs are tough - memorization. 232,233,234 : Grade = 4.0 x3
Very entertaining and clearly loves the subject. He does have a tendency to say its easy when it is clearly not. He also tends to put stuff in the exams that were not covered or covered in such a simplistic way that the technical answer on the test does not make much sense. Good teacher, but study, study , study.
Fillmore is great. He's explains difficult concepts in an easy to understand way and is more than fair. In fact he's rather lenient with his grading. Study appropriately and your reward will be a 4.0, don't put the time in and you will sink miserably. He's hands down one of the best teachers EWU has. If you don't get a good grade, you are lazy.
Mr. Fillmore is exactly as advertised. He was a great help for me learning this difficult subject. He called himself my "tour guide" and lived up to the billing. This stuff isn't easy--but I went to his office and he truly helped me multiple times. He really does care about his students! Wish more at EWU did--way to go Fillmore!
Filldaddy is a god of A&P! Going to Eastern has been worth it just to have Fillmore as my biology teacher and I have never once been bored in this class. Never skip unless he says the next day isn't content heavy or "grad detail". Study very hard! every day and you'll 4.0!
I love this guy. Best professor I've ever had. Explains things very well, lecture is usually interesting, depending on topic, and he's pretty funny. Easy class, he offers 10% EC on every test, basically handed to you. Tries to give you points where he can. Just study his PP lecture the night before the tests, and go to class, and you'll do fine.
If you have any anxiety over taking Amatomy & Physiology, you should feel relieved that you have Fillmore. He is easily my favorite professor of my college experience. Very helpful!
Currently getting my masters degree in nursing right now, and I still look back at Fillmore as the best professor I had at EWU.
I really like the guy except so far, he has been a nightmare. He has online homework that consumes so much time and has "STUDY-material" that is not on the test. Just really unorganized. He assigned half the quarters worth of assignments in the first two weeks and was bummed when people got less than 80%. I'm getting a good tho so we'll see.
I'm not really sure what I think right now. I just took a test in his class that was so confusing and not over material in the study guide. IDK maybe poeple like him cuz hes funny. He is very fun to listen to.
Awesome professor! This guy makes the bio series so much fun and easy to get a 4.0. It seems to be that everyone in class loves him, probably because he offers 10 points extra credit on every test, you get points for dressing up for Halloween, he makes the stuff you are learning fun, and he puts as much work as you do into your grade.
He is the great teacher ever!
Great teacher! You use the book a lot, and it is expensive but you use it all year. He is the most helpful teacher I have ever had and wants you to get an A in his class. He provides a good amount of extra credit and makes everything easy to understand!
Amazing Professor! So nice and definitely cares about you. He makes A&P about as easy as it could possibly be and still be a college level course. He still expects you to know your stuff so the subject is hard but if you get a bad grade its not because of him. Great structuring in the class too. LOVE him!! Best Teacher Ever!
Best teacher I've ever had.
By far the best teacher ever! If you want to learn and your here to work, he will work with you.
Couldn't have had a better teacher!
Mr. Fillmore is an amazing professor. He is very organized, funny, and great at teaching. His tests are tricky but he gives so many extra credit opportunities throughout every quarter that getting a 4.0 should be no problem (with some work).
In my 4 years of being here, I've never had a better teacher. He sets the bar.
He is FANTASTIC! Never had a better professor!!
Best teacher I have EVER had!!! Always willing to help, available all the time to help in any way you need. He truly cares about his students and it shows! The class isn't easy, but you learn your stuff and if you work hard it's not difficult to get an A.
THE BEST PROFESSOR I HAVE EVER HAD- IN MY ENTIRE LIFE.
One of the best professors I have ever had. He geniunely cares about all of his students and wants everyone to succeed.
Hands down the best professor I have ever had. Don't get me wrong, you definitely have to work for it, but you will learn so much in the process. He is absolutely amazing and so good at getting the point across. Weekly visits to his office help a lot and he loves students who really put effort into the class. So supportive and he wants you to pass!
This guy is amazing. That's what I can say about him. The material is tough, and extensive, but I have yes to meet another professor who cared so much about how each and every person in of his 400+ student class was doing. Highly recommended that you do go to class, engage, and study, because all the tools are there to do amazing.
Fillmore sets the bar for professors everywhere. He should be teaching a class on teaching! He truly cares for his students, and will do anything to see them succeed. This class is no cake walk, but if you put your heart into it, you WILL succeed! His tests are hand written, so no questions for obscure corners of the textbook! Take at all costs!
he is very helpful as long as you go to his office, he can answer any questions you might have. he is the best teacher i have had so far in ewu great teacher. youcan tell he cares a lot about bio.
Fillmore is amazing! So helpful and you can tell he genuinly wants you to learn and is always available for questions or help. By far the best professor I've had at Eastern yet!!
Love love LOVE Fillmore. He is the best teacher at Eastern. I actually understand the human body now!
Professor Fillmore is an excellent teacher. He is able to explain difficult concepts, and make them easy to understand (also in a funny way). He is very caring about his students and wants us to succeed. I only wish I could have him for more of my classes.
Fillmore is by far the BEST professor at Eastern. He knows the material inside and out and is always willing to work with students who have special requests. He keeps lectures interesting and he has a funny sense of humor. He makes effort to learn names and gets to know you on a personal level. He is seriously an amazing instructor!!!
Absolutely loved this class! By far the best professor that I have ever had! Professor Fillmore keeps the lectures interesting and informative. I wish that more college professors were like this!
Very clear expectation, and if you prepare for the class, easy A is guaranteed. His always willing to help, if asked
By far the best teacher I've ever had, hands down! Very passionate about A&P, definitely knows what he's talking about, if you want to learn take a class from him. Very knowledgeable! Would definitely take him for all my classes if I could!!!
Fillmore is the BEST professor at Eastern. He knows Anatomy and Physiology very well but makes it easier for students to understand. He is funny and interesting with his lectures so they are not boring at all. Love this professor!!!!! There is a lot of homework but it is not hard and it is very helpful for learning what will be on exams.
Awesome teacher who is very approachable.
So helpful, positive, inspiring, understanding, and encouraging.
If you are worried because you need to take anatomy, don't be. I was until the first day of class. He made it clear he wanted us to succeed and I did. He is by far the best professor at eastern and I would highly recommend this class. Put the time in and you will get a 4.0 no problem. His tests are hand written so pay attention to his powerpoints!!
Easily one of the best professors at this school. He's definitely on your side and wants you to succeed. Never hesitate to go speak with him if something's stressing you out or you're confused, or even if you just want to cry in his office.
This guy is the bees knees let me tell you. Printing out his power points help because his tests are based off of those. The post-tests are dumb but they don't have that much of an effect on your over all grade. Awesome anatomy professor, definitely wish there were more professors like him.
By far one of the best professors at EWU! Always wants you to succeed and understand all the material. He gives a good amount of extra credit so you can raise your grade. A lot of material and homework but if you print out his slides and go to lecture you will do fine! Awesome professor!!
FILMORE IS TERRIFIC. HE WILL ALWAYS HELP YOU IF YOU ASK. DO GO TO HIS OFFICE WITH ANY QUESTIONS. HE IS VERY ACCOMMODATING WITH TESTS AS WELL. GREAT PROFESSOR.
A lot of people here tell how awesome and helpful he is. I just want to add that he is REALLY teaches. 6 month after I was done with the class I took TEAS test scored over 90% on his subject.
Amazing professor.
Fillmore is the best teacher I have ever taken at EWU. He cares about his students and wants you to succeed. If you are unsure about something he is more than willing to explain it. He is also very passionate about what he does and you can tell!
Great guy, flexible with test and willing to help with any questions!
BEST TEACHER EVER. SERIOUSLY, JUST TAKE HIM.
10/10 would recommend this class. The professor is caring and helps you succeed in the class. The workload is average but he is always willing to help you and accommodate to your needs. Cool dude, would go to his office just to hangout.
Fillmore is by FAR the absolute best professor I have ever had. He cares so much about his students and them succeeding, loves what he teaches, and is just overall amazing. I wish all of my professor's were like him. Lots of extra credit opportunities to help your grade and you just learn so much. I can't wait to finish my year with him!
Fillmore is the best professor in the entire state, hands down. He cares about every single student and would bend over backwards to make sure every student passes. There's tons of online homework and the textbook/lab manual/web code are pretty expensive but he's super captivating and thorough in his lectures. Would take this class again!!
Honestly, Everyone rated him an "amazing" teacher- which is not true. The study guides dont help with the tests, and with all the homework you do not have time to study. The one time i went to visit the teacher for help he was snappy and rude and had a terrible vibe. Only taking him again because I have to finish the series.
I wish I had more room to talk about how great Fillmore is! He is 100% for the student to pass this class, gives endless extra credit and truly wants you to know the subject. He is so passionate about A&P that his lectures are easy to understand. If you don't understand he will break it down until you do! Favorite professor at EWU!!
I was scared to go into class the first day because I suck at anything science based. Fillmore has made me think otherwise with bio. It can and will get complex, but he warns you. He explain why the material is important & whether or not it will be on tests. He gives you so many EC opportunities and wants to succeed. He will never skip lunch tho.
Awesome guy, took him for the whole A&P series last year and passed all with a 4.0 Go to the PLUS groups prior to tests they're your fastest vehicle on test content but also slides, slides, slides, watch his lecture recordings and look at his slides he won't surprise you with anything he hasn't presented.
Awesome professor, really wants students to succeed. He gives a ton of extra credit opportunities to boost your grade and is very available for help
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.
Professor Fillmore actually cares that students in his class are able to learn the information/subject matter, not simply how to pass the exams and move on. Professor Fillmore is also very respected by both students and faculty alike.
Best professor I've experienced thus far!
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"!
Professor F was one of the best teachers I've ever had. On the first day of class he said "My goal is for all of you to leave here with a 4.0" he gives a ton of extra credit to help you out also. If you study off his lectures you will have no problem with this class!
One of my favorite teachers ever. I don't know what drives this man but he absolutely has the best biology class i have ever been given the opportunity to be apart of.
Fillmore is one of the best professors I ever had! His lectures are so clear and amazing! He also cares about you and your grades! He is very approachable and helpful!
This guy earns his money. He is the best professor I've ever had. I've been at 4 schools over 20 years (military). He is an outstanding teacher. He takes a difficult subject and makes it digestible and applicable. I am incredible lucky to have drawn him to teach me. If there's ever an option where ever he teaches, pick him.
Hes the best and is always there for you.
He really cares about his students and wants to see them succeed
I took the A&P series with Fillmore and it was not as hard as I expected. If you study the lectures, then you should pass the class with at least a 3.5. A 4.0 is very duable. He posts all his lectures with recordings online so you don't have to attend class. Just study and you'll be fine.
I had Fillmore for the A&P series. He is an awesome teacher. He interacts with the class, posts the lectures online in case people can't make it, and is always ready and willing to help. He is very focused on the success of his students. Great teacher! Definitely recommend him!
Fillmore is a great prof, hes friendly, understanding and helpful. He assigns multiple assignments to be completed over the course of at least 2 weeks but most of the assignments can be completed in 10 minutes and they all help you to learn the material. Exams are easy if you pay attention in class/listen to the lectures online. 10/10 would rec!
Professor Fillmore is literally the best Professor! He really cares about his students and will offer a lot of extra credit. If you go to lecture and also listen to his lecture recordings on canvas, you will for sure get a 4.0. There is a lot of homework assigned but they are all easy since he gives an unlimited amount of times to complete them!
By far the best profefessor Ive ever had. Took him during summer qtr and then again in the spring. Ive never learned as much in any other class than I did in his class. The class helped me gain true appreciation for the human body and instilled in me a love for the healthcare field. Take A&P with Fillmore, youll be surprised how much you learn
Easy to understand. He likes bunny trails, but overall his tests are directly derived from his lectures and slides. Homework is "go and get your points"... Do it until its at 100%.
Fillmore is a literal teady bear. He genuinely want's to see you succeed (hence all the extra credit). He posts everything online and homework/quizzes are unlimited attempts. I was already excited for this class but after taking Bio 232 I can't wait to take the others. I can't say enough good thing about him, he makes the curriculum feel simple.
Amazing class. Just like others say he wants everyone to get an A. There is a lot of homework. But if helps to understand the material and its unlimited times. He is also always available for questions.
Genuinely cares for his students. His lectures are detailed and easy to understand. I love his sound effects when hes explaining material. Overall an amazing teacher, makes a supposedly hard class, manageable and fun to learn. I wish he would teach the chemistry series as-well.
this professor is just like a father to me he cares about the students and their grades. He is very flexible and helpful. his lectures are fun also.
I LOVE Biology; I absolutely do, but Fillmore's way of teaching is not helpful at all. 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. So basically, there is an inclass lecture and panopto recording that you have to watch EVERY SINGLE DAY.
Professor Fillmore is one of the best professors I've had so far. He's willing to go out and about to help you. His exams are hard but there aren't any surprises. He always makes sure to go over everything clearly and is willing to help you understand the material. This class isn't an easy A, you have to work for it, but he'll help you get there.
Amazing professor. Offers the most extra credit ever
Fillmore is the best teacher at Eastern. If you're interested in anatomy you will have no problem getting an A. Lots of light assignments but if you fly through them and then study after you'll do great! Tons of extra credit to make up for any points you miss so don't stress! P.s. don't buy the lab book, make copies of the HW sheets from a friend.
Fillmore is the man! He really does care about his students and his office hours are pretty anytime when hes in there! I had a huge course load this quarter but I got an easy A- in the class. Just do the homework, dont skip lab, do the smart books and youll be fine. He also gives a ton of extra credit and you get a cheat sheet for the Final!!!
The lecture isn't mandatory to attend as he posts recordings of it online. The lab is mandatory to attend, and there is plenty of homework but if you stay on top of it, it won't be too bad. He really wants his students to pass and is willing to work with you so you understand the material. He an open office policy and treats everyone with respect.
obviously tons of people have rated professor Fillmore very well and they are absolutely correct- Fillmore is one of the best bio teachers I have ever had. Lots of extra credit and VERY approachable. However, do not take this class and expect to get an A for showing up- you WILL work for your grade. But it's 100% possible if you put in the work.
Took this class online for summer quarter, don't do it. He expects you to buckle down and only work on his work. He gave about 40-50 assignments per week and they all are hard/time consuming (average 60 questions per assignment). I am a student who takes school very seriously and still couldn't get a hang of his class.
Genuinely great person, cares about his students and how well they do in class. Get ready for a TON of homework, but it does force you to really understand the material. Exams are hard but he tells you exactly what to study to do well and he offers a lot of XC if you're willing to work for it. Overall best prof I've ever had!!
During Covid time, everything is online Very willing to work with you but is work heavy When I say work heavy I REALLY mean it. Each week there can be 10-20+ assignments due HW you can redo until you get 100%! Its just tests, post-tests, exams and such you get 1 try at HW not online is turned in to TA Study guides are provided and can use on exams
This class was very informative. Tests were hard but Professor Fillmore gives so much extra credit it is hard to not get an A in the class.
Fillmore was the best biology professor I've ever had. He gave a ton of extra credit, and his lectures were very informative. However, to get an A in his class you do have to work for it. There are so many assignments to do but as long as you manage your time, you should have no problem getting them done!
Great professor, provides detailed lectures online and unlimited attempts on normal homework assignments. The class does have a big workload but if you manage your time accordingly you'll do fine. Really approachable and just wants to see students succeed.
I took this professor for the whole A & P series and he gives great feedback and gives extra credit knowing the exams are hard.
Fillmore's lectures are very in-depth and help you understand the content super clear. He does give a lot of hw but usually you know about it a couple weeks in advance (staying on top of these assignments is the key to success) but there's tons of opportunities for extra credit. Fillmore is super accessible and happy to answer any question anytime.
Fillmore has been the best professor I have had. His classes involve a lot of participation, but he is willing to work with you. It is clear that he cares and wants you to succeed. There are lots of assignments and lectures every week. But being present will lead to an A easily.
Fillmore was a super fun professor and made learning anatomy fun. He provides plenty of extra credit to keep your grade up. There is a lot of homework but starting to chip away at it asap is key. if you do the homework, take good notes and study his lectures you'll do great.
Fillmore genuinely cares and makes it possible to earn the grade you want. Be prepared for lots of homework and lab assignments, but start working early and you can succeed. He offers lots of extra credit and is available to help.
Fillmore is an amazing professor. Ofc anatomy is a lot of work so be prepared to learn a lot and be tested on it. However, he provides so much extra credit. BEST PROFESSOR @EWU!
Best professor I've had in college! Genuinely cares about students and wants them to succeed. He brings it every single day and is passionate about A&P and it shows in his enthusiasm, which makes his lectures enjoyable. Lots of assignments but you just need to stay on top of them and you'll be fine. Lots of XC opportunities. Amazing educator!
Fillmore was an amazing professor! Probs my fav at ewu. Anatomy and Physiology is always going to be a large workload and you have to do many assignments for this course. However, Fillmore made everything and learning more fun! I learned a lot throughout this course and very excited to take him again next quarter!
Fillmore is an amazing professor. When you take A&P you will have him for 232,233,234. He truly cares about his students and having you succeed. The course load is heavy however, if you do the work you will pass. He will give you every opportunity to do well in his class. It is truly up to the student on how well you do.
Fillmore is one of the best professors that I have had at Eastern. A&P is a hard year long course.He is always willing to help you with anything you have questions that you have. He does give out a lot of extra credit, and exams can be hard, but he wants to make sure you know the material, you do the work and extra credit you can get an A easy
Best professor at EWU by far. He understands that the material can be hard and time consuming, so he gives you (honestly a wild amount) of extra credit opportunities. Lectures are not mandatory either! You will most likely focus more if you show up but if not, he posts all lectures on Panopto.
Took the A&P series from him back in 2015. Even after completing my MS, I still have yet to meet an instructor who cares about the success of his students as much as Fillmore.
In his lectures he runs out of time to teach.There are alot of assignments and alot of the material you have not learned or gone over. The labs are also very confusing and take a long time to finish. In the labs you are also going over material that has not even been introduced. This class is very overwhelming and takes up more time than you have.
Loved this class. However, don't expect to be able to pass without spending a couple hours a week studying or doing homework. There is a lot to learn in the course and he tries his best to make it seem manageable. This guy is like a walking encyclopedia about anatomy and physiology. Don't be afraid to ask questions.
I took professor Fillmore's Bio 232 class and it was a lot of stress. At the end of the quarter I had completed over 150 assignments and that not including quizzes or tests. His lectures are great, he's the perfect person to sit there for an hour and listen too. He keeps your attention. The workload can be a lot be prepared for lots of work.
subject is known for being one of the most difficult, he teaches the content in a way that is funny and engaging. don't try to only read the book you will have excess info and will get lost in what is important. There is a LOT of content and homework, you need lots of time and actively participate. Just communicate and utilize lectures you're good.
Best professor ever. make sure to actually go to the lectures, you will get lost and not know what's on the quizzes/exams. this class is more difficult than 232 but is still very enjoyable, engaging, and interesting.
go to lecture even though he doesn't require it. you will not know what's on the exams if you don't. He's kind, funny, and passionate so don't be scared to talk to him or email him. you will need a lot of extra free time, there's a lot of homework. so much homework. don't take o-chem and these at the same time LOL
i was nervous for this class when i first started in the fall but as the year went on i got a little more comfortable. he cares about his students and wants them to pass the class
Fillmore is great, and super passionate and super clear for what he expects of you. The class is material heavy and fast paced, but not hard to keep up with...just don't get behind. Lots of extra point opportunities so scoring poorly on things doesn't make a huge impact on your grade. I flunked quite a few assignments (still an A) Loved this class!
Currently taking A&P with Fillmore and he is great! He unlocks assignments fairly early, and I always work two weeks ahead to stay caught up. Be prepared to apply yourself, attend class (Yes, even though it's not mandatory), and STUDY! He's always available to help so go to his office hours. If you are struggling in lab, his TA's have office hours!
Fillmore is an exceptional professor who genuinely cares about student success. The coursework is challenging, but he provides ample opportunities for extra credit and support. I found unstuckstudy to be a helpful study tool alongside the textbook and in-class resources.
Course was amazing, just be prepared for a large course load and plenty of homework. Professor provides plenty of extra credit opportunities plus helpful study guides, he also allows study guides on exams and the final which is nice :)
AMAZING professor!! Lectures are super engaging and you can tell he genuinely wants you to succeed. Even though there is a lot of work in this class, it is definitely manageable.
Absolutely fantastic professor! He has engaging lectures geared towards making the material as easy to understand as possible, and was very clear about the homework/quiz/test expectations. He is both a wonderful person and teacher, and while his class is time consuming, anyone has the ability to succeed with the help he offers.
Overall he is an amazing professor, it is a lot of homework but it balances out with everything. He gives a lot of extra credit which will really boost your grade. Lectures you don't need to attend but I would as he connects everything back to real life examples, other topics, etc. Lab you do need to attend but is flexible. Would take again.
