Took the hybrid during the fall. Dr. B is fair. He tells you just what you need to know and throws no curve balls. Please know that with hybrid you are on your own. YOU MUST READ. Grades on a curve. For ppl like me who have thin patience and are over coming to campus and sitting in lecture for hours this was a good fit. Memorize & you'll be fine.

Please do not take this professor. He doesn't care about your success. He doesn't care to help you to be succeed. All he cares is cheating cheating cheating like he just need a moment to catch you cheat on the test. That's it. In his mind, students who take A&P online is a cheater, and he would use all of his energy to look for it. Won't retake it.

Dr. Baumgardner was surprisingly wonderful. His class was HARD, but you have to work for it. He even said that this was the hardest class on JCCC's campus because it's mostly memorization and he's right. Be prepared to study a LOT. About half of our 20-something class dropped if that says anything. While it was very challenging, Dr. B was great.

he is the worst teacher i have ever had. he doesnt post lectures, just emails once a week to "check in" . there are no labs, you just post pictures of your lab book. on top of that his time limits on test are crazy. he expects 45 questions to be done in 25min. his way of learning is to just "read the chapters" no real teaching. DO NOT TAKE HIM

Worst professor. Does NOT care about you or your grade. Just there to catch a check. He doesnt teach and doesnt post lectures. His time limits on tests are out of this world And he doesnt care what grade you get. Do not take this class unless you are a self learner, you will fail if not

Great professor! If anyone needs to take this course for a health care degree. Class is very hard but he gives you many tips to succeed in the course and allows for meetings to discuss any questions you may have. A&P is not easy if you do not put in the work for it. Tests are timed but doable if you go to open lab and study.

Dr Baumgardner truly gives you every recourse possible to be successful in this. class. He gives a list of exactly what will be on the lab exam and its up to you if you choose use it. He provides practice exams with exact questions on the test which are extremely useful. Dr Baumgardner actually wants you to succeed in his class. highly reccomend!

Will not help you with anything. Refers you to tutor if you have questions. Will not let you see the answer to your quiz after you have completed unless you have time to do a zoom call to see the answer. States he doesn't have to release your answers to you. Lectures are a woman not the teacher himself.

He is a rather hard professor, but if you do exactly as he plans out for you you will pass. The tests are not weighted heavy which I was thankful for. Just do ALL your assignments and you will not have a problem. This professor was the most involved professor I have ever had for an online course.

I think anatomy is a hard class regardless of how you decide to take it but unless you a have a lot of time during the week to spend on studying/ taking notes/ teaching yourself, I wouldn't take it online. It's clear what is needed to pass the class and he give you all the resources you would need it just takes a lot of time!

He knows the subject matter inside and out and expects a lot of his students. However, he does everything he can to make sure the students have what they need to learn the material. He is available to his students and responds to messages FAST. I have high respect for him and would recommend taking his courses.

Anatomy is a class you have to study for no matter where you take it but Dr. B was always ready to zoom whenever I needed help and appreciates hearing from his online students. He gives extra points on the tests/ grades pretty easy so that definitely helped as well as offering a 20 point extra credit assignment. I would definitely take him again!

I would advise students to analyze if they need in person teaching and examples to learn, I took this course online and it was a very independent course. Dr. B is personable and easy to reach.
