Solid choice for CLAS credit. My only issue were the 4 tests were 30 questions w only 35 minutes, and the questions were kinda obscure. For the last 2 I literally typed his lecture slides out word for word so I could search through quickly, and it helped my score alot. Labs weren't too hard, just make sure you don't go into tests blind.

This Professor is invested in student success! But, this class is not for the faint of heart. If you can memorize, or already know, anatomical terms you will be fine. I immensely enjoyed this class, the informative lectures, and the detailed textbook where the online labs are taken from. Also, huge thumbs up for being active on the online board

I loved this class! There is a lot of reading in the labs on Top Hat and more lectures from him directly, but the material is so interesting that it makes it all worth it. I could have gotten an A in the class if he would give more than one chance to answer lab questions correctly. Overall though, I'm pleased with my grade and the class. Take it!

You will have to buy his book and it has questions that only give you one chance to answer for credit. If you read the book, it is really easy. There are 4 tests all based on the recorded lectures. The lectures are long and he moves fast so I had to pause to write notes, but if you take the lecture notes you will basically get all test questions.

Professor Stojanowski is great. Your grade is based on reading and answering the integrated questions in a lab and then four exams throughout the session. He gives access to all of the materials at the beginning of class, making it truly go at your own pace. His grading is fair and his lectures are in-depth and helpful in addition to the readings.

I took this as a B session so there was no time to slack off on anything--to complete everything in time you have to do one out of four total units about every two weeks, and every unit was 10-15 20 min lectures and 5-6 labs on TopHat (which costs $80 to access). All work totals 340 points but Prof only counts 300 toward final grade.

Great prof, he made the grading scale very fair, you only need 270 points out of 340 and if you do all the labs (Which are super easy) with no exams you can pass with a C. The exams do not use any proctoring and are super easy just memorize the reviews he posts for every exam, would recommend for an easy science elective.
