This teacher is somewhat hard. You need to be able to write very fast. He doesn't write anything helpful on the board. Doesn't go over what's going to be on the tests. He gets into too much detail, things that i don't think we have to know about. sometimes he ignores when questions are asked(he loses his train of thought?)Speaks very monotone.

Am I too smart or what? I got an A in his class in a summer session! Yeah, I know. I'm a showoff, but do you think I got the grade simply by going out and partying. If you are afraid of missing out on life for a few weeks, then he is not the right proff. for you. I spent 6 hours a day in the learning center with body part models. You will work!

If you can write down everything he says and read the book and do some index cards he is an easy A. Skeletal and nervous system was the most intense for me.

This is not an easy class, you really need to work hard for an A. But if you go to every class, take good notes and review throughly before each exam, you will be fine.

He makes the class relatively easy by covering just the most important parts. I'd bring along a recorder and do not miss a class. The better you do on earlier exams and quizzes the more room you will have to breath come finals. But don't mistake "easy" for "not hard", if you don't study or slack off on attendance then your grade can nosedive.

This professor is VERY VERY HEAVY with his lecture, and you have to spelling the word VERY VERY QUICKLY AT THE TIME on the lecture. You IMMEDIATELY got the LAB maunnal after his lecture is finished. he makes the date of exam is complexity that he don't require by ELAC's policy. DO NOT TAKE HIM IF YOU ARE NOT VERY FAST STUDENT WITH OTHER COURSES!

had him for summer and i recommend he gives study guides beforehand and as long as you keep up and put in extra time outside of class you will do just fine.He does like group "pop quiz" and gives extra credit in the exams.The lectures are a bit long but they are clear.I personally thought the course was easy.

Very clear on what to know for tests and gives extra credit as well. Pop quizzes here and there but nothing impossible. Gives extra credit for being on time. Lots of information so get ready to study, same for the lab portion. Obviously is a difficult course but can be done.

Awesome professor! pretty straight forward and he will give you all you need to pass. All you need to do is study his recorded lectures and outlines side by side and attend his class every time and you will pass this. As an immigrant, this is my first class after attending college 15 years ago due to a career change, I highly recommend Mr. Hill.

Lectures are easy to understand. Professor gives you a outline and it based on his lectures. I took him for Saturdays class so 8 hours with him. the lectures does take long but again everything you need to know for the test will be on the outline. Come to class everyday, dont be late. You get extra credit

Professor Hill is kind, it is obvious that he enjoys his job. The course itself can be difficult due to all the info, but he does provide an outline which he goes over w/ the class, make sure to study it and you'll be fine on the multiple choice part of exam. Took him for winter so it was tough might be better to take him longer. He is so adorable!

Professor Hill is very knowledgeable about Anatomy. In order to pass his class you have make sure you read and understand all the materials he presents to you, as it is what you will be tested on during exams and practicals. He is a very laid back professor and if you study all the materials he provides, you are sure to pass.

To be honest, this is not my first time taking anatomy. So at first I was kind of scared to take it over the summer. But let me tell you..Take this professor! His lectures are spot on, he provides you an outline with his lectures and labs are pretty easy, just pay attention. Passed with a C, if I would've put more work in, it would've been a B.

Professor Hill is very lecture heavy and his tests consists on the material that is ONLY out of the study guide, which I love and thankful for because I don't waste my time studying what's not gonna be on the test. + lab is done together, easy A there! You have to do your part though and study lec. final is NOT cumulative only 2 chapters! :-)))))))

Great professor! Got an A, but it wasn't that easy... although he doesn't give out homework, you HAVE to study. Got low B's on the first few midterms, studied twice as hard for the next tests and ended with a strong A. GO TO CLASS! He gives out EC if you are there on time, but doesn't say anything til the end. study, study, study! take him!

Anatomy is hard no matter who teaches it but he was pretty reasonable with his lectures and tests. I honestly like the structure of the class because I'm more of a study on your own kind of person. But he'll go over any Questions and help you out with lots of EC. Just make sure you don't study last minute

Professor Hill is a fair professor. This was among the most challenging courses in my college career. Extra credit opportunities are given on exams. 6 exams total, but are allowed to drop 1 with no consequences. Textbooks are not needed; but DO purchase the lab manual. Lecture slides are available on CANVAS. Learning Center is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED!

He teaches his labs at a very constant paste. Labs can be easy and challenging, but he provides lab reports in which are used as study guides. There's a lot of terms you need to memorize and spell them correctly at the top of your head. As long as you practice the spelling the body parts, you will do well on the exams. I took this class seriously.

Great prof TAKE HIS CLASS IF YOU WANT TO PASS! I was nervous about taking anatomy I hadn't taken a real course in 10 years but he was easy. Class is black and white no in between, with study guides that let you know exactly what's on the test, he give EC and drop lowest quiz+exam. You don't need a label just download good notes and label everything

Professor Hill is truly amazing! He cares about and is kind to his students, such a sweet professor. He gives opportunities for extra credit, has 3 exams, and allows you to drop the lowest exam/quiz score. I was really worried about this class, but he made everything smoother. If you don't pass, that's on you. Highly recommend this professor!

The best lab professor! Clear lectures, tells you what's on the quiz/exam. Provides lab reports and lab manual. Extra credit for showing up on time. Lab practicals are 50 questions with 2 extra credit. Won't be easy unless you STUDY!!! Drops the lowest quiz/exam. If you do well on the first 2 exams, you don't have to take the final one.

Professor Hill is the best! His class was so straightforward and he gives extra credit just for showing up. His teaching style is what I liked the most plus he lectures at a good pace so everyone understands and is able to ask questions. 3 hour class fly by fast and you learn so much, no off topics just lectures. Wish he taught other subjects.

Dr. Hill makes studying for Anatomy simple; his lab exam answers are included in the study guides. He provides everything you need to earn an A. It's a lot of memorizing, but he also gives extra credit for showing up on time and lets you know when a quiz is coming, along with the answers ahead of time. Memorize the parts, and you'll ace the class!
