He gives you all the notes...His lectures are okay. His tests are horrendous...but if you study you will do okay. I put in 6-8 hours everyday for his class. I am pulling an A...but it has been hard. His tests are all multiple choice...but not information from his lectures or notes...be prepared to study your fanny off!

You'll print off notes for his class, and he says he tests only from them, but READ THE BOOK! His notes can be cryptic, and the book will help you fill in the gaps that his lecture won't. Also, be prepared for fill-in-the-blank tests. He provides extra credit and will drop your lowest grade, which helps.

He's a nice guy. However, he tends to ramble in his lectures which can be entertaining and/or annoying. I did laugh a lot in his class. He isn't a good test maker and there are lots of ambiguous questions that weren't in the notes, but he does give extra points. It's an fairly easy B but a hard A unless you put a lot of work into the class.

Professor Wayne has taught this class a long time and is a good lecturer. He is funny and approachable. You don't have to use an expensive book or submit stuff online, (at least not before Covid19) because he goes by his notes. This way you can get a cheap, older edition for reference. A lot of memorization, but that's A &P!

Took online class but went in for labs until the school closed due to Covid. He would ramble on sometimes during lab so sometimes he was hard to follow. He understands that things come up and will work with you as long as you let him know what is going on.

Dr. Wayne is an actually sweet professor. He understands that it is important for many people to get a good grade in this class and makes it easy to obtain it. We did not use lock down browser/respondus for test during COVID but he said he will use it fall 2020. Test 3,4,5 is the same as review. Lab test were pretty easy as long as u attended lab.

Absolutely loved taking Professor Wayne! I took an 8 week summer A&P2 course with him and i was honestly coming into it thinking Cs get degrees. Hes a great professor, with little assignments. Tests 3-5 are the pretests exactly! 3 lab practicals, 1 lab book, and 5 lab assign. that you can copy and paste from google and get easy As. TAKE HIM

Dr. Wayne is a nice guy. However, if you want someone who's a good direct lecturer he is not. His class was very disorganized. The lab ran ahead of the lecture which made it harder to keep up with. Lecture tests are 70% of the grade, so make sure you're prepared. An A is very doable you just need to study and the material is dense but its A&P!

He an okay professor. very impatient at times. He gives out pretests before the lecture exam and test 3-5 are the pretests. There are 5 lecture exams 3 lab exams, lab notebook, and 5 assignments. The lecture tests are very long like up to 50-100 questions. Also the notes he give is a lot which is why he doesnt have a textbook.

Id recommend reading your textbook because his notes dont correlate with the test. 3-5 exams are the pretest. 5 assignments are super easy. 80-100 test questions. Not timed. Lab book is easy, just do it. Grades easy on those. Labs are easy. Made everything due at the end of the semester so he works with everyones schedule. Easy A. Take him.

I took Professor Wayne for A&P 1 as an 8 week summer course. The class was completely online with synchronous labs. He did a great job teaching this course! He tells you exactly what you need to know and cuts out the extra fluff. Due dates are flexible so you need to work well independently to succeed. Overall, I highly recommend him!

He is such a chill dude! very understanding and wants you to succeed. The tests are difficult and proctored but after the first lecture exam, the pre-tests prepare you well *hint* for the tests after that first one. GO TO CLASS! he's lecture heavy but that's how you learn. Lab exams will always be hard so just make that effort to learn the body.

He was really understanding and truly wanted the students to succeed. He gave out multiple extensions on due dates and extra credit. Really the best way to succeed was to show up to the lectures. He ended up giving extra credit to those that showed up close to every time. He was very helpful and always willing to answer questions and explain.

Lectures are very long, course notes are provided. Tests are very difficult, some are open note. Study - work ahead always! Wayne is awesome but is disorganized and forgetful. Emails = hit or miss.

Not difficult to succeed if you study a LOT outside of class. His exams are similar to the practice ones, and he provides a lot of notes. His lectures are very long and packed with material. I found it easier to just teach myself the material based on the notes rather than his lectures. He's not very good at answering questions or emails either.

Prof W is very sweet & knowledgeable. He's flexible with deadlines & some of the exams are open note/team-oriented which is much appreciated. The test reviews are helpful. However, both the online lecture materials & labs performed in class are very long & unorganized, so a lot of time spent doing outside research is needed to retain all the info.

Bad at taking notes like me TAKE HIM. he records his lectures where you can watch them back from his online class. Always watch them you learn from them too. He wants you to pass. If you have test anxiety take him most are at home or open book. Labs exams you work with your table to help each other and all lec and lab test are multiple choice.

The most pointless class I've ever taken in college. Truly a joke. First exam is from the book which he told us not to study. Exams 2-5 are the pretest. Lab assignments are long - just find the quizlet. Labs are also a joke - take home or open book exams. Easiest A you will ever receive, but you won't learn a single thing.

If want an easy A, take him. Most of his exams are open note, collaborative, or the same as the pretests. The labs and assign. are quizlets you can search up. If you're looking to learn something, you might want to pick another Prof. He's just set the class up to ensure you get an A. That said, he is a good person and cares about the material.

Mid. Not hard on deadlines, that's a plus. Not very helpful. I would go to office hours to ask questions and leave with nothing addressed really. I feel like there were questions on the exams that were not covered anywhere in the labs or lectures. The blackboard is also set up very poorly. Not really his fault, I get it's hard. But it's incoherent.

He is kind and genuinely tries to help, but the hybrid course lacks structure and clear guidance. The material is challenging to learn independently, and the pre-recorded lectures don't align well with the exams. Better organization and a stronger connection between lessons and assessments would significantly improve the class.

Love the way he structured his online A&P1 course. It's a hard subject, so you have to put lots time and effort into studying on your own, but he's great at explaining the material and is always available to help with any questions. Stay on top of your graded assignments as you go, they're very helpful. Memorize anatomy by drawing it over and over!
