His lecture was "so-so", lots of power point and the tests were kind of hard. In fairness to the other person that said he didn't answer questions... some people have some pretty random off subject question that I wouldn't expect an A&P instructor to know. His lab was awesome though, really interactive and helpful. Very glad I had him for lab.

He's a "everything is fair game on the test" type professor which makes things more difficult.

People that say Jung is difficult just don't know how to study. My friends & I all received A's with no real trouble. You have to work for it to get it, that should be expected at the college level. Use his slides to complete the studying guides & make notecards from that. You'll be fine. Also, he's funny in a dorky way. Prepare for dad jokes.

He was a chill teacher but his lecture slides were bad. His quizzes were easy and basically based on his lecture slides, but his exams were difficult. When I took his class all the exams were online. The exams were not always based on what he taught and often times required reading the textbook (even though he never assigned reading). Ok bro.

The bulk of your grade comes from the exams, and even if you write down/memorize his lectures word for word and study the textbook, a lot of questions on the exams are things he never mentioned, hardly mentioned or are just worded in ways to purposely confuse you, so it's almost impossible to know what exactly to study. Don't recommend at all!!!

Do not take his class if you can help it. The only reason he rates so high on Rate My Professors is that he is within an age-range conducive to fostering professor crushes within newly enrolled, freshly out of highschool students.

Lecture slides were bad, and exams had things not even mentioned in the lecture. Chill dude, but the way he teaches isn't fitting for an introductory course. Hard to access out of class. Weekly quizzes were easy. Doesn't really engage with the class and has a tendency to ramble on about personal stories.

Don't expect ever getting an email back, rather send an email out to the students through blackboard. Take notes word for word from his prerecorded videos. Weekly quizzes helped the most since some of the questions were used in the exams. Every student should check their exam grades in case (in-person) for any grading mistakes(from experience)

bruh what is everyone on about Jung is so easy & the best, everything on his exams where in his lectures. You just have to study and theres no way to not get an A. I have to work for my A's and this was pretty easy. Its a lot of material but its simply memorization and time management. Def take Jung for anatomy and stay on top of it. Hes hilarious

Dr. Jung is an alright professor. His lectures tend to get off topic, but all material is available online. Finishing with 100% is doable, but you have to respect how much time it takes to learn anatomy. There's a lot of material. He does iClicker questions for free points, so while attendance isn't mandatory, you miss out by not going.

Everything that was on the slides and lectures were in the tests minus one or two questions. A&P is a tough class overall but Professor Jung made it fun and easy to understand. Review sessions over zoom were very helpful. Recommend watching his supplemental video on studying and test taking. Take notes, do the work and you'll do fine.

He reads off the slides in lecture and sometimes explain some concepts. I say take the online class unless you need to go in-person for motivation. Tests are okay and follows the lecture slides strictly. Quizzes are open note. No homework, just study a lot. He is a chill and funny guy, and that makes lecture less boring.

Fair teacher, funny guy, always had good stories to relate the course material too from his prior life experiences. Reads directly off of the slides, all of the test material come from the slides so that's all you need for studying & the content. They say the book is required but he literally said not to read it unless you need clarification.

I took BioA111 lecture online. There are 3 exams (the lowest of which is dropped) + 1 final, all taken with RPnow. Exams are 50 questions in 75 minutes and the final is 100 questions in 145 minutes. Weekly quizzes are 10 questions in an hour and open notes. If you study the lectures (~4hrs per exam) you will get an A in this course.

Overall really good at teaching the material. You do have to read the book to understand some of the questions that are asked on the exams. I usually finished the exams in about 15-20 minutes since you either knew it or you didn't. I learned a lot.

A&P is generally tough, but Professor Jung does his best to make the subject easier for students to understand. He prepares students adequately for each exam and tends to pop jokes in each lecture (both pre-recorded + in-person). Everything you need to pass the class is in his lectures. Overall, a great teacher for those who are intimidated by A&P.

He's a very laid back person so his explanations can be very overly simplified with a sprinkle of comedy. Which is nice for someone who's just learning the heavy material. And all of the important things that you need to know on the exams are on the slides given with blackboard. He doesn't email back so ask questions in lecture or open office hours

Word of caution to mature students with kids. This professor does not honor medical notes from providers. I was given an ultimatum to take a midterm within the week, even though my kid was very clearly sick and the not had her out for the week. He wasn't even my main professor. He was the lab coordinator and got the final say.

I loved this class. He was funny, smart and knows what he is talking about. Also quite charming which always helps. His slides are good and that's what you need to pass the tests. One drawback is he never emails back which is frustrating but he does have office hours.

While Jung isn't the most passionate lecturer, he's a chill, funny dude. I agree w/ previous review(s) that his videos seemed dated, but I managed. Prioritize your time toward this class wisely; do the assignments, study, attend recitations & you will do fine. You can try to cram, but it will most def be reflected in your grade (trust me, I know)!

Straight forward class. Use his provided study guides and watch the lectures. Study the study guides, use flash cards. Very limited required reading. The weekly online HW sucked since it covers everything in the chapter but it is graded on completion. His humor is dry but he is really chill. Lowest exam grade is dropped. No cumulative final.

He is a great professor. You don't need to read the textbook. He drops your lowest test score (except the final). He is really funny. He grades based on homework, tests, quizzes, and in-class questions. The class has a lot of material. If you are not good at studying and not good at multiple-choice questions, don't take this class.

This class was not too bad, just hard to remain interested. Assignments are online and take 1-2 hours, its a completion grade. Attendance is important and is a grade. Lowest exam can be dropped and there are 3. Quiz every week due at 11:59 Sunday. The professor is good and its pretty easy to pass this class if you put in the hours to study!

Professor's lectures are challenging to follow, and his writing is actually illegible. Nonetheless, if you do the weekly SmartBook assignments and quizzes, you'll pass. He likes to recycle questions, so study the weekly quizzes before exams and go to recitations.

Lots of homework
