Dr. Flory was a great teacher, he pretty much told you what was on the test. Go to class, he gives out test questions/answers. A "B" is totally doable if you put some effort in. The lab for this class is not run by him and he has no control over it, but if you read/study the night before each quiz then you will be fine. Lab midterm/final are cake!

As far as Dr. Flory goes he is a good professor, however, his humor is eccentric. He is very good at lecturing and other people are right is lecture recordings do help. Make sure though that one records him themselves because he does have the tendency to forget to record. This is a tough science so expect to study.

Love this guy. He's very clear about what his expectations are, and gives you plenty of resources to succeed (audiotapes, old tests, etc.). Just take the test seriously and you'll be fine. The lab was terrible (quizzed before lectures, seemingly random information on quiz), but a better teacher is taking over, so it'll probably be better.

Professor has a temper, behaves like a child and his tests are not related to what he lectures about. Makes you learn things not even in the class and tests you on it

Locked the financial aid quiz and was extremely rude to me over email. Lacked professionalism and tact when specifically showed in the UCF policies that it should remain open till the end of the semester. He stopped responding after lol

Not responsible, made students feel guilty for having covid and not being able to attend lecture. Graded on the exams, which are very difficult. Very rude via email, heard he likes to make students feel guilty. I will not take him again for any class

I always found endocrinology difficult and intimidating. Dr. Flory's lectures and clarity about what is going to be on tests or quizzes definitely put me at ease. As long as you put the time in, getting an A in this course is very possible. Attending lecture is a must to get all content. I wish I could've taken more of his classes during undergrad.

This professor was awful and had a very bad temper. He's very immature and his tests were not related to what he lectured about. He had no idea what he was talking about as students were constantly correcting him. Constantly canceled class very last minute and loved to gossip/bash on UCF. Cussed us out once for asking him to record the lectures.

We all wished he gave more notice for class cancellations. Loved having exams online. Emailing him is hit or miss sometimes. Tip: read the slides before going to lecture. Honestly I felt the *checked* slides weren't always representative of exams. RECORD LECTURES!! Overall not bad, just be prepared to study and learn!He brings cool snacks!Thx Prof!

He's one of the best professors at UCF. This was the second course I have taken with him and I have learned so so much. Study his audios/lectures and powerpoints. If you do so, it's literally an easy A. He should be a role model for lecture/test structures for other professors.

He was alright at the beginning, but over time, he became worse. He's disorganized, disrespectful, and doesn't know how to use the grading system or Honorlock properly. The class is graded only on tests and a few quizzes, so no assignments. Also, it's mostly self-studying. If you can't tolerate any of these things, avoid taking anatomy with him.

His physio class was easy, especially if you listened to his lectures. However, he does have a bad temper. He got really mad at our class for not showing up, even though attendance is not mandatory. From there he was passive aggressive to us.

most of grade is exams and quizzes. his tests are fair, have extra credits built in, but the Qs can be very vague. good lecturer, lots of things on exams are from lecture. offers more extra cred at the end. lab reports are easy. he can be EXTREMELY passive aggressive and dramatic. he went so far as to humiliate a student in front of all the class.

Best professor I ever had! Explains and connects the material well and makes it fun. Go over PPTs before lecture, record the lectures, and use the old tests he posts as well as the study guides. There is lots of extra credit and the exams are curved. Very accessible in office hours. Prepares you well for Pathophysiology. Brings snacks!

Dr. Flory was one of my favorite professors so far. His class is not easy but neither is the subjects he teaches. He is very clear on what needs to be known for the tests and just does not like the people who slack off. If you are going to class and paying attention to him then you will be fine. Im going back to take him again in fall

My horrible experience in this class had nothing to do with the material, and everything to do with the professor. He told us attendance wasn't mandatory but punished us for not coming to class. Literally the first week he told us to drop. When I withdrew, he sent me an email saying I got what I earned. He was extremely unprofessional.

We would answer questions in class even if they're wrong, but Flory would get so frustrated at us bc "he just taught it and we should know." Then we all stopped participating but that got him more mad. He taught from big paragraphs rather than elaborating on diagrams bc he saved that for his lab assistant, making it harder to make connections.
