Takes a while to take the first test...but he is a good teacher. He knows his stuff. Great personality...very personable.

lectures from the book, tests from the questions at the end of the chapter.

Flip flops, fish shirts, late most mornings. Writes alot. Study and you will do fine.

Intelligence is sexy and this man has plenty to spare. Those fish shirts are hiding something exciting.

This is a very hard class. He doesn't make his own test and they are extremely hard. I study ALOT and I hope for a "C".

Spoon Feeds You! Definitely reccommend him to take!

He gives all the notes, so i never bouhgt the book. His tests are a lil tricky, so study hard. He seems to live in his office. Always helpful with questions, always in a good mood. How many fish shirts does he have??

He gives TRICK questions!!! ugggh.

You will do better than average if you just read the chapters and study his notes that he writes for you on the board. He is always there to answer questions at his office. I have no clue to what happen to all his fish shirts this semester.

I don't think he sucks at all! His class is definitely not easy, but he does a good job of teaching the material. I would recommend Dr. Larson to anyone taking Anatomy @ aasu.

Lots of notes, tests are not too hard. He does a lot of clinical asides and that was really enjoyable. He always seems to be running behind the labs, but it is completely possible to earn an "A". I liked his laid back attitude.

Dr Larson isn't hard, but the class isn't easy. Lots of info, he speaks slowly, so you can write exactly what he says. He's not big on time, so don't expect to get out right on time. He may not have all the answers, but he's a good teacher.

this guy's easy. tests come directly from his notes n questions are all multiple choice. never read the book

Nice guy. He does talk slow and writes alot. some pple may find this boring but at least you are able to take all the notes. He doesnt leave anything out. I made a B in his summer class. He's really laid back.

Dr. Larson teaches straight from the book, but some of the material is tough.His tests are multiple choice-but they are difficult.There is only two tests and the final so study hard from the beginning!He does curve the final grade to where the class average is at least a 75, which is very helpful. Study hard, read, and study- and you will do fine!

He is the best teacher for Modern Bio. and any other class concerning the topic BIOLOGY. This man knows from top to bottom about Biology. I would say he could be the father of Biology.

He is a good teacher, expects a lot from his students. if you want to make sure youre going to learn the material, take his class. he tests dirtectly come from class notes, so if you take good notes and study them well, you will get an A. Well structured, straitforward class. 3 midterms, 1 final, 3 lab midterms, 1 lab final.

Larson's class is really boring and no one seems to pay much attention. His tests are extremely hard. He doesn't really prepare you at all for the tests. Doesn't even tell you what kind of questions to expect or anything. Just tells you "Matching, True/False, yadda yadda"

i took this class in four weeks during the summer...and it was kind of rough...but he made the subject interesting...it you take good notes and stdy...than you should do well...the hardest thing about his class is the lab.....

His notes are STRAIGHT FROM THE BOOK. Save yourself some wasted class time and bring assignments/tasks for other classes that need to be completed; go only to sign the roll. Be ready to read A LOT and make sure you know the subject forwards and backwards. Apparently people cheat in this class and they completely screw up the curve ....

He's a good honest man. He's too smart for AASU, if you ask me. Personally, I think his exams are difficult, but it really forces a student to study harder. I learned so much in this 2 credit class. I really studied hard, and was only to get B's on the exams. I hope, he curves the grade. If not, good bye 4.0 . Oh well, Bees gets degrees too! :)

How can someone have all the answers and not make an A??! That doesn't make sense! You people are just sore because perhaps you did poorly. Grow up! I never got an A in any of the exams, but still got an A for the class! He gives a ridiculous huge curve, and chances are if you study harder than the person sitting next to you, you too will do well!

I was disappointed by this class. He simply copies his notes onto the board as he reads them out loud. If you ask anything, he could either answer it, or yell at you. After a disastrous 1st test, I realized if I did the Q's in the text (sidebars and CH Reviews) I could ace the tests. You don't need to cheat. I got an honest A. Attendance matters!

I am glad he wrote new tests! Very nice professor. His tests are hard but he curves huge so it is fair. If you are lazy then switch from biology so you don't have to take his class. People need to stop complaining, you are in college so act like it.

Dr. Larson is a great Professor, but he is no cake walk, be prepared to show up and pay attention and study your butt off for the grade you want! He does curve, but he seems selective, I had a VERY high B and stuck with it, and a classmate got bumped from a C to a B...

great teacher. everything is from the notes and he uses book as a parallel for his kinda cruddy drawings. other than that he's funny as hell, but his lectures are kinda of monotonous because of the volume of info being put out. all in all would take this prof. again. GO FOR IT!!

Just took the first test.Either he changed it or you people are crazy.It was easy!Ya he lectures from the book, but he only focuses on the most impt. stuff.He's good at it and he's funny. So you have to study.Get over it! A.You're in college. B.If you're in this class its likely b/c of a health degree. I don't want a nurse who was handed an easy A!

1-I got an A w/out a curve and DIDN'T cheat(same as my study partners)!Try studying! 2-taking him again for 2082(easiest tests of all A&P profs)3-take Wynn(despite bad reviews, she's has a great test setup & very helpful)or Tucker for lab, not him...he's no good in lab. 4-grow up ppl! you're in college. if you can't hang, stop wasting time & money!

tests 50 mult. choice/T,F/matching straight off notes (use book for extra clarity, and some test questions). not hard if you study. sux in lab-too much info on practicals. friends who had Wynn said hers were way easier. me & all the other A students in the class studied together and didn't cheat. don't hate!

This was my first time taking Larson and if I'm taking him again for Anatomy. He's very clear cut. Class is boring because all you do is copy notes off the board but that's ALL that is on his tests. The averages for his tests SUCK but he curves them all. Make sure you attend all classes because you will miss A LOT of information if you miss one day

thorough, old-school professor. He is tough, but study the lecture notes. His exams are freaking impossible, but at this point I see him as a right-of-passage for any bio major.

Tough teacher, but he grades on a curve. No use complaining about him for this class, he's the only one that teaches it! Your grades will be from 3 tests only...and there is A TON of information to study (43 pages of notes for the first one!) Good luck!

Anat 1 Lab-Must attend lab regardless of reason. Little quizzes are given weekly, which help boost final grade. 1 practical. He also gives "big" quizzes every few weeks(total of 3) these are a huge % of final grade. STUDY for these, very detailed! he also calls out the quizzes, there is no sheet of paper that he hands out..Which also can suck!

He is a VERY personable professor! Unfortunatelyyy, he is VERY tough! His tests are so challenging but he curves it majorly. The material was way over my head. I don't think it would have been if he had taught via powerpoint instead of on the whiteboard. My notes ended up being too chaotic to study by.

Tests are pretty easy. I took him for summer course. Very intense, but I study everyday which makes his tests easier. As long as you study your notes you should do good. Make sure to write everything down from the board and use your book for clarification!

He writes all notes on the board. All test questions come from notes. You must be able to think critically about some of the stuff in order to answer test questions. Dry subject but he gets it done. Straight forward.Study notes and no them in and out and you will make an A.

I really don't understand why dr. Larson has gotten bad reviews. He can be a bit boring at times but he is a really cool guy and very willing to help. I never opened the textbook unless I needed clarification and if you just study the notes he gives then the tests are pretty easy.

If you're wondering why his rates are so low, you may want to take Biology 2400 to find out. He writes notes all period long (quite famous for that). His tests are extremely difficult, are test averages were in the 55s. But, he curves the exams (in the end). Don't expect a "A" its possibly the hardest class.

He is hard. He warns you that his tests are difficult but he also tells you what you need to do to prepare for them. He suggests doing the questions in the book and it helps. Copy his notes and when he reviews the material from the prior day make notes in margins! If you work hard you will be rewarded. I busted my butt and got an A.

Larson is long winded and talks A LOT. I only had him for lab, and sometimes he spent nearly the entire 3 hours lecturing which left very little time to actually look at the material. He gave oral quizzes and practicals which some struggled with but I didn't. This did make the transition to the final more of a surprise since nothing was oral.

I personally enjoyed Dr. Larson. Yes, his lectures are long, but it's important that you write everything down that he writes on the board. Be prepared for pop quizzes and oral quizzes in lab too. If you study his notes and study the lab manual this class shouldn't be difficult.

His lectures are long and writes everything on the board, so don't miss class. His tests are very difficult. Averages are usually in the 50-60s, but he curves the grades at the end of the semester. Overall, the class wasn't too bad. I would take a class with Larson again.

Writes notes on the board the whole time. Often shows up late and/or will go over scheduled class time. 3 tests and a final. Typically test averages are in the 50-60 range Class notes outline the textbook nicely and the quizzes online for the textbook are helpful in preparing for the exams. It is difficult but manageable. Ride that curve!

Don't use the book. If you suck at taking notes, you won't pass this class. Absent? You won't pass. He's monotone, but I adore his sense of humor. Very old school and dad like. Only read the notes, tests come straight from that and the handouts he gives. Don't bother with anything else. He has slow moving lectures, so study extra for lab.

Larson isn't a bad professor, I had him for lab. I had to study LOTS for this class but A&P is something you have to really study for. This course consisted of 6 pop quizzes (5 t/f q's), 3 regular quizzes (25 q's), and a final cumulative practical.
