I took BIOL 223 (A&P I) last semester. As typical of this class, VERY RIGOROUS! Must study! Powerpoint lectures- gives out b4 class or u can print it if u miss class. Tests are based mostly on book - so YOU have to READ the TEXTBOOK! He doesn't ask if anybody has questions during lecture =( No extra credit! His lab is harder than lecture.

Gets his lectures STRAIGHT out of the book which is good when it's time to study. He also prints out copies of his notes for everyone. Only uses PowerPoint notes, nothing else. So sit up close or you'll miss something. His tests are straightforward questions from his notes, no tricks. But his Final Exam was super hard! Good luck

i thought professor milne was wonderful. i had him for lab and it is not hard like the person above me said. of course the material is rigorous, but if you study it pays off. mr milne was extremely helpful he would always answer the questions of every student. his quizzes were fair and never tried to trick us. he was just awesome

One of the best professors I've had. He quizzes fairly. Don't be careless with his quizzes and practicals. Easy...IF you study.

Had Mr. Milne for lab. He grades fair and doesn't try to trick you like some lab teachers tend to do. He doesn't appear overly friendly at first, but once you get him talking he's a pretty nice guy. He is helpful and walks around during lab to see if anyone needs help. No matter who you have for lab it's a lot of memorization, so you have to study.

Get ready to memorize every chapter. The objectives are in front of the chapter. You will not know what exactly he'll ask for every test including the final. Go to class . He will just go over his power points which he will give to you , but repetition is key. Even if you study all day and night and you make it out with a C, be thankful

I took Dr. Milne over the summer and got a B-. You should read the book and understand the material. If you fail the class, it's not HIS fault but your own. If I had done a little better in lab I could have pulled out an A or higher B. His tests are hard, but A&P is a hard class. The amount of effort you put in studying is the grade you'll receive!

I took 223L & basically memorization and a little bit of application. Repetition is the key to memorization & stay ahead & you will do well. My main concern was his practical #2. Some of the questions were not covered in lab. Try to guess to the closest part structure if you don't know, & you might get it correct, like me. Good Luck!

I loved Dr. Milne. I had him for 223 & 224. You must earn your grade in his class. He will help you if you ask. In lab he explains everything and is very helpful. In lecture he keeps you interested and amazed at all the things our bodies can do. I highly recommend him.

I took Dr. Milne last year and I'm not going to lie, it was a hard class but I didn't know how hard until today when I learned that Bio 223 has only a 40% pass rate.Not only is it a hard class to take but it's a hard class to teach as well. Only take this class if you're truly dedicated or else you will fail. Dr. Milne did the best he could.

I thought he was extremely helpful. The class was very difficult, however, I feel like I truely learned the information which will be more beneficial to me in later classes.

I took Milne for biology 189. I thought Biology WAS SO HARD because Milne's test where so difficult. I am in biology 196 and I don't have to study at all because of how much time I spent studying for his exams. He teaches well but be aware he barely ever asks black and white questions, almost every question is conceptual and every choiceseems right

Don't listen to this people down below and what they are writing.Mr. Milne is one of the best teachers to take for A&P, yes he is not the easiest, but for lecture you will look forward to coming to class. his test are a little hard. As long as you read the textbook, attend every lecture you will do fine in his class. I got an A!! :)

I had him for 224, Don't listen to this people down below and what they are writing. Mr. Milne is one of the best teachers for A&P, yes he is not the easiest, but for lecture you will look forward to coming to class. his test are a little hard but as long as you read the textbook, attend every lecture, you will do fine in his class. I got an A!

He certainly knows his stuff, and he is a really nice man .... However, I feel he is really condescending. Whenever I ask him a question in lab, he makes me feel stupid. Also, at times I feel like he thinks he is better than us.

He explains the concepts well and is always willing to answer questions but studying will consume your life. His tests have multiple answers that seem right so you have to know the material inside and out. I have never spent so much time studying and I barely got a B. He is a good teacher but his exams are just ridiculous.

Extremely efficient and thorough. Provides every avenue to help you help yourself.

Dr. Milne is more than willing to help students pass.The material is very hard & he wants everyone to know it well.I am having a hard time & not sure if I will pass but being able to pass his class means you know your stuff.The work you put in is the grade you will get.People need to calm down and stop blaming him.This is just hard material!

Milne is SUPER hard!!! Memorizing the book might help you out. He's super nice though!! He looks just like Steve Martin too.

I have heard a lot of unkind things about Dr. Milne. His class was intense, but you leave knowing your stuff if you pay attention. If you really want to learn, Milne is your man, just be aware that 10 hours a week of study will be needed. If you want an easy A, get another class. I highly recommend Milne to anyone who is "in it to win it".

This professor is a nice person but he needs a reality check. This course is hard enough but this professor took it to a new level. Instead of studying and learning, I found myself trying to memorize the whole book just to pass his exams. His exams are 80 questions per 80 minutes which not enough time to think of the answer.

Milne gets a bad rap because people aren't willing to put in the effort. It's a tough class. I've been a 4.0 student and I'm going to get a, "C" in his lecture because of the tests. However, I'm learning more in this class than all of my other classes combined. I'm grateful and he's a good guy.

This is a very difficult class & Milne is a difficult professor! That being said, I am leaving this class knowing my stuff. If I want to work in healthcare, I feel that is really important. Read the book several times, make hundreds of note cards and do not skip info you may think is insignificant. He will test on everything!

Dr. Milne is good guy. The subject material is hard.I liked the fact that he prints a copy of the notes for every student. He tests on the whole book, and the point of his lecture is to explain the book not teach the test. Lazy students do not pass this class. If you want to know the material this is the class. Im taking him for 224 next semester.

He makes you work for it.

I am currently in Milne 223 class and I admit it takes tons of work! But so does every 223 class. My advice is: he prints out lecture notes, follow the notes in class and add anything he says to that paper. Read every day and take your own notes, his tests are right from the book. He doesn't give out study guides ever. Just study!!!

So far, the class has been really challenging. The problem isn't that Milne is a bad instructor; there is just a lot of material to cover, and you must read the textbook. Milne is always willing to answer any questions that I have and he even gives extra credit for reviewing your test scores with him. If your willing to work you'll do fine.

Be willing to Sacrifice everything with this Instructor. No hobbie time, fitness time, no regular life time. The Demand of this instructor on the Exams Extremely difficult. He uses question that student of Biol 224 can answer correctly but no someone who is take this course for the first time. We others teachers you only study 1/4 of his materia

Just finished this. Some tips: Exams 1-5 most exam Q's are knowledge from the book AND practice questions on Canvas. The final tests concepts rather than knowledge, has fewer questions (75 as opposed to 80) and is VERY hard - do not underestimate! 1 pt extra credit per exam (total of 5) if you look at the exam in his office.

Great professor! Exams are tough but it's Biology and A&P is complex, duh! It's not supposed to be easy. He's passionate about teaching & wants students to LEARN the material so they're successful in their careers. Put in hard work and you'll be proud of yourself. I have already registered for his 224 class in the Spring! I cannot wait! Thx Dr. M.

Super knowledgeable and willing to extend extra help if you don't understand something. Most of the other students did very well in his class too. Getting a good grade is do able but not if you're looking to just slide by.

Reading the chapter before lecture and answering practice questions on MH Connect after helped a lot. He's a nice guy. I would definitely take him again!

Amazing professor! Super fun and animated in his lectures. Extremely smart and willing to extend extra help if needed! I wish I could take him for every class!!

Great professor, very nice in person, only one biology I know who gives extra credits which really help to boost your grade. Tests are hard but if you study you will do fine. All negative comments it's from people who didn't study and expect to get an A , NOT gonna work this way, A lot of time dedication. recommended !

Honestly, I was feeling discouraged going into his class after reading all the reviews. Please go in his class with an open mind. He's a very nice professor. His exams are far from tricky and are fair. Exams cover basic material info. His notes do not cover all the material so you MUST read the chapters. Take your own notes and answer ?'s on MHConn

Yes his exams are difficult and yes his lectures are intensive, but man was it worth it. Took him for Bio224 and I was genuinely shocked when I learned more and faster from his class than from a University level 224. What I would recommend for anyone and everyone is to GO VISIT HIS OFFICE. A scholarly chat about grades is just the Dr. ordered.

Charles Milne is hilarious! Anatomy and Physiology is not an easy class so you must study if you want the grade you want. Milne is there if you need help or want to get a better grade. Would take him again

Dr. Milne is a good professor. The material is challenging but learnable. He gives you his class notes but tests on everything in each chapter. For those that worried that hes is a difficult professor, its not that bad. This is a 200 level bio course, not an intro. You need to work if you want to pass.

Good dude who cares about the material and the students. He expects you to be serious about your career goals, meaning if you're only taking this class with the mindset that it's another hoop to jump through, you're gonna have a hard time. Learn the material like the back of your hand.

I don't really understand why most think he is a bad professor. Even though he teaches at a community college, he is a university level professor. I went to almost every class, recorded every class, and read every page in the textbook I needed to and passed with flying colors. You just need to try hard and you will succeed. Go to office hours.

Read & learn the entire chapter. Do the chapter questions from book & the ones he'd post in canvas. He's the only professor I know that cares so much about his students. His exams are hard cause he's preparing you! If you can't handle him, you wont survive the program youre applying for. Most reviews here are based on emotions. Just read guys.

Definitely a university level professor. Take him. His exams will prepare you and his style of teaching helps you learn the material, not just memorize it. Even when I got an answer wrong, most of the time it was because of anxiety and I knew it! Read your book and look at his online module. Youll succeed if you work hard. Taking him for 224!

Accessible and gives you notes for the lectures. Easy to follow, lets you record, and tests are straight forward. The material is difficult, not the professor. He makes things very manageable if you read and keep up with the current material.

Professor Milne does care. He gives you the resources you need to pass this class. It definitely was a hard class for me but I do feel better prepared for my program compared to other students. If you genuinely put in the time to read and ask questions OUT OF CLASS, then you will definitely pass. He is a brilliant professor with a bad rep.

I love Dr. Milne. He genuinely cares about his students. He gives you a study guide of what you need to know for each exam. He tells you exactly what you need to do to pass his class. On canvas he has all power points, all diagrams. I would take him again in a heart beat. Read the book, come to class, study, & I suggest getting MH connect.

Great class! Definitely a tough class, as most A&P classes are, but he gives plenty of opportunity to earn points. Tests are multiple choice and he gives you the opportunity to look over what you missed. Although attendance isn't required it is imperative to helping you pass the class. Over all I would definitely recommend taking A&P with him!

The class is going to be difficult no matter what professor you take. Milne explains at the start of the semester that it isn't about memorization but learning. You HAVE to learn the material, and use EVERYTHING they give you access to study: MHConnect, your book, study groups, SI, study centers.

Prof. Milne was very attentive and devoted to his lecture. He facilitated a learning environment for students you are serious about their academics. I had Prof. Milne for BIO 189, and BIO 223 and learned a lot about human anatomy and physiology.

Professor Milne devoted a lot of time and efforts to his instructions and his students. He was always available to clarify any question I had, as well as offered after-hour help. Thank you Prof. Milne.
