Ok I couldn't Stand Dr. M for A&P1 I absolutely hated him. Honestly I thought he was the WORST instructor i ever had! I even rated him that way But OMG something happened between then and now(I think he got poked with some kind of good teacher dart)He is a good instructor that seems to really care(OMG I said that)about his students.I Recommend him.

Dr Maring is an outstanding teacher. He keeps class interesting & though it is alot of info, does everything he can to help. He has a great personality & is always making little funny comments to keep the class entertaining. He is the best teacher I have had for A&P. Its not an easy class, but the sub matter is serious, and should be taken as such

professor maring is very good at giving the students every opportunity to pass his class, besides just using test scores. not many professors are that flexible. He shows caring and very positive about your outcome even when you're not. he's very pleasant, great personality all around. his test can be reasonable, but you do have to study.

Dr. Maring is an informative, but just teacher. For that reason, some may falsely perceive him as crude. This is college. It shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that you have to earn your grade, and that is apparent in A&P1. As tedious as the course can be, Professor Maring holds students attention and reiterates key facts -- you will learn.

Great teacher who really cares if his students succeed. He does play some videos in lab every once in awhile but they aren't too long and I think it's great for someone that is a visual learner. Not sure why there are negative reviews on here. Don't take this class if you are lazy and looking for an easy A. This is Anatomy. It's not easy.

Dr. Maring is a great teacher. He tries to make everything as clear as possible since this class is supposed to be difficult. The person who wrote on 6/23 is failing his class most likely due to the fact that she is at least 15 min to every class including to tests. But Maring is great and offers creative extra credit to those who can think of it.

Took Dr.Maring for AP2 after taking another popular instructor for AP1. So glad I switched. The course is hard, but with Dr. Maring you have a much better chance of achieving a good grade (esp. if it is a prereq for one of the health careers programs). He gives extra credit, and he teaches you what you need to know. Tests are hard but doable.

A&P is a HARD class. Dr. Maring makes it easy. He is not confusing with his assignments. You have to study for this class though, do not think ANY A&P professor is going to let you skate by so be prepared to work for your grade. Maring will help you get the grade you want to earn but you have to put in the effort!

I took A&P1 as a hybrid class. The class itself is a lot of information. Dr. Maring sets us up for success by providing PowerPoint & guided student notes. His lectures are very helpful as well. He is very knowledgeable and it's nice to hear the material being explained in a relatable way. He wants his students to succeed. Put in the effort&you will

This was a challenging class, but Dr. Maring thoroughly covered the material. His lectures stayed on point, and he applied the topics to real-life situations. He will tell you what you need to focus on. He put effort into preparing the students for careers in healthcare. Highly recommend.

I never knew I would take an interest into Anatomy. Dr. Marring definitely is part of the reason. He explains things easily, answers questions, and then will expand a bit on a cool topic. He is a chill professor, that'll work with you, if life throws you a curve ball. I'm taking A&P 2 with him.

Professor Maring has great teaching energy and explains things very well. He uses real life examples to help us relate to the materials and helped answer any questions that I had in the classroom or through emails.

The class contains difficult material to learn but the professor try's to make it interesting. From the story about actin and myosin to the 12 days of cranial nerves the professor made learning interesting and gave us tips. The teacher also offered extra credit for things like playing kahoot. I enjoyed the class and am taking a&p2 in the spring.

I only needed A & P l for the program I am applying for. However, I am enrolling in A & P ll because of Dr. Bruce Maring's ability to make every class fun. His hilarious wit, inspiring lectures, interesting labs, as well as, the respect and care for his students made the 2 hours per week drive time from Daytona to Deland and back worth every mile.

Dr. Bruce Maring might be the best AP teacher possible. He gives students time to participate in lecture with kahoots, he tries to be funny and entertaining with a topic that's really hard to be entertaining. This class taught me how to study better and prepare me for the nursing/health program. He gives guided notes so it's easy to follow, 10/10!

Dr Maring is a great A&P professor. He has a thorough knowledge of the subject and relates the material to both the medical field and everyday life which helped me a lot. There is a lot of work to do outside of class (I took the hybrid course) that is necessary to remember the complex terms and concepts in the course.

Dr. Maring is clearly enthusiastic about teaching and welcomes questions. He is very understanding of inconveniences and will work with you if needed. He is definitely a teacher that will give you a lot of respect if you give it to him. He gives you all the materials (and more) that you would need to succeed in the class, and I learned a lot.

I wouldn't say the class was super easy, but it wasn't too hard either. As long as you put in the time, you'll do well. Dr. Maring is excellent, he follows schedule and is very organized. Make sure to study for at least a couple of hours daily, and you'll be fine. A&P is fascinating, it's so cool to learn about our bodies and how they work!

Take it from a burnt-out high school senior, anatomy and physiology was a class I always looked forward to. He made lab and lecture fun. He was tough but fair and was always happy to help. You can tell he is someone who genuinely enjoys teaching as he was always happy and loved when students asked questions or for help. Take A&P with Dr. Maring!
