What Students Say

he is by far the worst professor I've had

2086 - 1.0 rating

If you decide to take this professor, be prepared for his terrible jokes that make you feel awkward, hard test that barely match his notes, and lectures based entirely off of the power points

He teaches A&P. Very nice and explains things clearly. All lectured test answers from power point notes. Lab class test are all fill in the blank answers. No final exam, so once he tested you on certain Chapters, you wont be tested on them again.

I was not impressed with his presentation,nervous cough, mumbling, & at-times off color jokes,& the way he jumped all over the book.Once you learn to study his notes,and get past the wordiness of the test,he's not too bad.He does have a sense of humor,and gives plenty of redeeming extra credit pts.

I thought he was a very good teacher once you got used to his style of teaching. He is somewhat dry. He likes to make silly jokes that amuse no one but himself most of the time but he is a very nice man. He is not easy but he gives lots of extra credit and is very supportive of his students. I took him for I and II and would take him again too.

He's probably the best human anatomy teacher at SPC and I wouldn't suggest anyone else. His test are straight from his notes so if you study the notes you'll get an A. I studied his notes about 3 to 4 times before the test and I did fairly well. Offers tremendous amount of help and he really knows his stuff.

He is not really knowlegeable teacher. I was not impressed by his teaching style. His class is not that hard, and many students like him just because they have been taught by only this teacher. If you want to learn well, I highly recommend Dr. Nicotera, very supportive and knowlegeable!!!

I heard Klotz was a hard teacher, but that was proved wrong. He was so helpful in everything. I got 100's on all my practicals. He gives ample extra credit, he stays later to help you out. I reccommend taking him for lab over Nicotera. Both are great teachers but Klotz comes from a different level.

50/50 with Klotz. If I ever asked a question he was very helpful but going over the stuff for lab he was very broad and general, he left it mostly up to us. In any a&p class is going to be hard and require A LOT of studying on your part. Class was always let out early (i suggest using ure time wisely and stay to study the models)

He gives a LOT fo bonuses - which is nice compared to other teachers who don't. And he usually adds extra points to test grades just because... But other than that he doesn't "TEACH" you anything - you end up reading it to learn it yourself. He doesn't TEACH in class - he gives powerpoints - so it really worthless to go. Just read the notes!

He's a fair and easy going guy with very dry humor. Lab is definitely an independent study class, with some hands on stuff. It's a tough subject with a lot to memorize, so of course it takes A LOT of studying and isn't expected to be easy. If you don't do well in his lab, it isn't his fault for his teaching, it's yours for your studying process.

Klotz is great! He gives you these handy print outs with EVERYTHING that you need to know for the quizzes and labs. It's cut and dry! Everything that you need to know are on these sheets so you don't sit there studying everything. He really narrows it down. I received a A in his class and I am taking him next semester for lecture and lab!

Klotz is great. Don't really use the lab manual, just use his handouts--STUDY THEM FRONT TO BACK. Take notes during his "opening lecture" at the beginning of lab, he tests you on that material. Overall--pretty straight forward and very fair grading. (did not take his lecture, only lab)

Dr klotz is a very fair teacher. Although my grade was a d, it was earned. I took this class online and really should have been in the classroom. You just need to study his material at least 6 hrs and listen to instructional videos often. The tools are there, you just have to apply them.

Prof. Klotz is a great guy and he's very passionate about anatomy. Labs are really short, but all of the practicals are based on the study guide he gives out on day 1 of class. Also be prepared, he jokes around...a LOT.

Well, I normally dont right reviews for my professors, But DO NOT TAKE THIS ONE. he is by far the worst professor I've had. I studied his notes like i was supposed to and made tons of flashcards and some how i still ended up failing the test. BAD choice on my part. He is very confusing, spends most of the class talking about irrelevant stuff .

This man is a joke! Yes, he has a dry sense of humor (and does not make sense). He talks about irrelevant topics. His lectures are directly from the power points in which is already provided to you online. I basically ended up teaching myself and passed with a high C. Would not recommend taking him.

If you decide to take this professor, be prepared for his terrible jokes that make you feel awkward, hard test that barely match his notes, and lectures based entirely off of the power points. He also doesn't review before tests or give out anything to study besides the useless power points. Just do yourself a favor and stay away from his class.

If you read the book, make notecards, and study then you will pass. The tests he gives are based right on the notes he gives you, and as long as you READ THE TEXTBOOK then it is an easy class. You can skip lectures like 1/3 of the time and you'll be fine as long as you understand the material yourself. Honestly most of it is just teaching yourself.

Professor Klotz is a good teacher, but be prepared to work for your A in the class. He gives his students a packet at the beginning of the semester of literally EVERYTHING that you need to know for the practicals. His questions on his practicals are confusing and unorganized. I found myself lost most of the time; however I learned a lot!

Klotz is amazing! Tests are tough (it's AP for god sake) but if you print out the notes/power points before you take the weekly test, WAY easier. He curved both the midterm and the final for us, which completely saved my grade and I got just over a 90% for the semester. Jus selected him for fall 2016, you won't regret selecting him. Study!!!

6 exams, no midterm or final. Do not buy the book, he has no use for it. All his tests are from his notes which contain a lot of mistakes and are very unclear. This professor doesn't care if his students know anything or not. Can get an A if you study his notes well. Class was no fun.

Dr. Klotz is a little quirky, but he definitely knows his stuff. Lab practicals are tough and fill in the blank, but the mini-practicals that he gives are easy and multiple choice. Study the Lab Objectives Manual and you'll do fine. Grades are on three practicals and three mini-practicals, with pre-lab assignments from the lab book.

I was REALLY skeptical being put in Professor Klotz A&P1 online(because of the ratings on here) when my original class i signed up for didn't fill up. Professor Klotz is great, he is organized, you know exactly what is expected each week. 2 study modules, 1 homework, 1 quiz a week. 4 test, 2 are proct. An A is easy if you do the work and study.

Dr. Klotz is a good teacher, I just did not prefer his teaching style. His tests are super tricky with "All of these except" type questions where all answers are similar. If you did not prepare you will not pass! Take the time and study your butt off and you'll do fine. All of his exam content comes off of his notes he's prepared for you.

FRUSTRATING. Dr. Klotz was very disengaged. Word doc notes are provided but are just poorly organized text; no examples, no diagrams. Lecture vids/PPTs provided, but useless, as tests are based on his notes. Test/quiz questions seem intentionally ambiguously worded. 2-4 Pearson modules and 1-2 quiz (2 attempts)/week. No midterm/final study guides.

I would recommend him for the lecture, but not the lab. In lecture, memorize the notes and you'll do fine on tests. In the lab, it was more complicated. Not really sure what I was supposed to study and only 2 tests, 1 practical, and 1 unknown project that make up grade. Take someone else for lab for sure!

He is not thorough in the lectures. You are tested on his version of the notes and he did not use the textbook. Almost every question on the tests are, "which of the following is not true..". You basically have to teach yourself all of the material and the only grades are tests. There are no work sheets or reviews or handouts of any material.

Took online. His exams were the hardest I've ever taken, but Anatomy is a hard class in general and he curves the exams when everyone does bad. 2 proctored 2 online. Midterm he curved by 24 points, so I went from a 65 to a 89. Study your socks off or you won't pass. 1 con is he does not provide study guides or indication what will be on exams.

Attendance is not mandatory. You do not need the book. You will pretty much teach yourself in this class. His grades consist of 6 tests. There are 21 chapters with 3 pages of notes for each so about 63 pages of notes you have to memorize for the entire semester. You will have to put in the work to get an A or even a B

He is a hilarious old man with the maturity level of a new college student. He seriously knows his anatomy facts, but he makes learning fun and he has very organized notes to help you along the semester. He is fair to every student and there's never a dull moment in his class. I wish I could take another anatomy class just so I could take him again

I signed up for this class last minute. He is not bad, but the lecture is very long a bit boring. You can tell he has a passion for science. If you take him study the lab manuals he has online. I appreciated that he only tested us on that. Overall the class was average difficulty, I just prefer a different teaching style.
