Class and prof are tough, but if you study and try you will do fine. Boliver is helpful, but you have to put effort into this class to get the material. You can't expect to cruise through this class. Focus and study and you will do great. He won't hold your hand...you have to work for your grade...and rightly so!

Doug is an excellent teacher. He covers all the matterial but this is a hard class. You MUST read all the notes yourself first then go to class and listen to the explanation. The material is extremely important for anyone interested in the medical field. If you do well in this class most of the rest are just tepeating this material!

seriously, his test is extremely hard. you should put all of your energy into this course only. he's a nice person but too hard.

i think doug boliver is a great professor. his is one of my favorite classes, even though his tests are hard. i mean, if you are going into the medical profession, you NEED to know this stuff. y'all shouldn't be so hard on him. he's awesome. : )

For the love of God, it's a tough course, not a tough teacher! You're not cut out to be in medicine if you have trouble here--try something else, like dental hygene.

I have Prof. Boliver my lab professor and he's been incredible. (I've heard his lecture class is more difficult) I learned a ton and his lab practicals are not bad, you just really have to study. He gives you quizzes throughout the semester which really helps with studying. He makes learning anatomy fun and you can tell he loves what he does.

a real nice guy, but very academically demanding.

Mr. Boliver is not that bad...he is a fair teacher and he will teach you a lot. He gives a bonus quiz before every lecture test. Just make sure you read the chapters and study as much as you can its hard but you can get through it i promise...i made an A.

Very knowledgable.

I took him for A&P 1 and i got an A. he will help you to understand the material. he knows what he is talking about and wants you to learn it to. any A&P class you have to study to earn your grade and you have to study in his. but i think he is a very helpful teacher and does what he can to help kids pass. i am now in his A&P 2 combo class

Excellent teacher. Very smart and intelligent.. really thorugh with the materials but the exams are difficult. But if you study enough for the school, considering its an anatomy class and its very lenghty, i think u can get and A or B. He gives plenty of extra credit opportunities. i liked him alot but i gotta admit he is not easy.you'll learn thou

very hard but i learned a lot. he uses real life examples to illustrate the subject. he gives plenty of extra credit to help you pass.

Amazing Teacher regardless of what other student say. He expects you to read and come prepared to class which a lot of people fail to do. But if you study, ask questions, and learn the details you can get an A/B. If you want to slack off and not work hard take a different teacher.

I find Dr. Boliver to be a very helpful teacher, especially compared to my A&P 1 teacher who basically had us teach ourselves the material. He takes the time to explain everything and I feel like I'm learning a lot. His tests are really hard but if you pay attention they're not that bad. He's a really nice guy.

Great professor that knows his stuff. He will answer all of your questions. You have to work hard but if you pay attention and study a little you will do fine. Bonus quizzes are very nice. Tests are all multiple choice. Fun lecture. Don't take the combo.

I enjoy his class greatly. I've taken him for a&p 1 and 2. He is a great teacher who knows his stuff. Yes, his tests are hard...if you don't put any effort into the class. You HAVE to study a reasonable amount. And he grades very easy! He gives so many curves which really helped me through this class! If you're not a hard worker, don't take him.

Boliver is one of the best I have ever had. He is the first one to give you material and then to test you over it all. It might be on a quiz, an exam or lab practical, but if he taught it, then you knew it would be assessed. He is extremely fair and explains things well. I would take another class from him. He is very personable.

First off I want to say that this is really a hard subject to study and you better be prepared to do just that. Prof. Boliver is great and really helpful. His tests are pretty hard you have to know EVERYTHING in detail in order to pass, dont be surprised if you have to read the chapters more than once good luck!!!

Read, read, read. Study, study, study. If you don't, you lose. If you do, you win. He's a great teacher but his tests will challenge your understanding of the subject. Just when you think you know all of it, you'll realize you don't. I would take him again if he taught a biology class I needed. At times, though, he can be confusing when explaining.

Took him for A&P 1 & 2. This class taught me how to be disciplined in studying. Tests were hard and discouraging but the curves made up for it. Overall one of the best professors I've had. Very helpful and knows the subject well! I made an A in both but it was the hardest A I've ever worked for! If you're going into the health care field take him!

Professor Boliver is a fantastic teacher and mentor. He is very interested in making the next group of medical professionals competent and knowledgeable. I really appreciate his use of extra credit. Do the work and make the grade. I loved this class and really liked Prof Boliver!

Excellent person. Always helpful but his class is extremely hard.You have to work really hard to get good grades. NICE person but HARD professor.

His lecture was not too bad, he doubles your highest exam grade. No matter who you take for A&P II I highly advise to take it with no other classes. Now for lab, I. could. not. pass. a. single. practical. Maybe that is just me but I made A's & B's on lec exams. I took combo class and he NEVER went over the models like he should have ever!

Took the combo class, my only complaint is his lab, he doesn't go over the models so that everyone knows what we are suppose to learn on them. It is just you up chit creek without a paddle. Also he kinda looks like Dexter Morgan (the TV show) but older lol.

Love Boliver! amazing professor. I always struggles in science but he made the material very, very clear. Tons of extra credit which boosted my grade even more. really fun course with him. he cares about his students

Pr. Boliver is amazing. Always ready to help event after office hours or after late night class. Never got bored ... he is funny and best professor I had so far. He always helps you to understand the subject. Love him!!! I wish I could take his class again.

He is great!!! Would take his class again ... the best professor in Collin. Because of him I got accepted in Nursing Program. Hard lectures but nothing is easy at this point ... he prepares you for Medical field where you have to know the stuff !!! Hard class, not the professor !!!

Whether Professor Boliver is for you or not depends on what you expect from this class. If you just want to breeze through the material, grab a grade and go, then he is not for you, look for a professor that allows you - and live with the regret later. Yes, his tests are hard, yes he expects a lot, but, you bet that you come out better prepared.

There's no way to get around it - A&P is hard. But Boliver is a great teacher. He's very clear and does give a nice amount of extra credit. If you memorize his powerpoints, you have the information you need for the tests. It's definitely possible to get an A in his class, but you have to be willing to put a lot of time into it.

Difficult class bc of the amount of material covered, but professor is knowledgeable & offers fair amount of bonus points. Have to know info well for tests, a lot of application questions. Not an easy A, but he works with you to make sure you retain info and get grade you deserve. Easy to approach for help or explanation, goes really fast though

Great for lecture. I learned more from him than I did from my lab instructor. Gives extra credit! If you are in class and you pay attention, study, and do the homework there is no reason to get less than a B. His students love him. I have never heard anyone complain. A&P is hard, no matter who you take, but Boliver is willing to answer Q's.

Great professor! I learned so much from him this semester. He does have long power points, but makes sure to emphasize the important components. A&P is not an easy course, but it is doable. He provides lots of extra credit and opportunity to succeed!

A&P I & II are hard courses. People saying that Professor Boliver is hard are not taking into account how hard the material is. Yes, it is hard to get an A in the class, but it is very doable if you study. Professor Boliver takes the time to explain everything and encourages questions. Offers more extra credit than any other science professor

I failed A&P 2 in the spring so I retook it summer 1 with professor Boliver and he made everything make so much sense! I loved the class and of course it was very stressful and still very hard but for me it meant so much to actually know this stuff. He gives out extra credit and is very nice and helpful when you ask.

He is very misunderstood just because the content is difficult and not his teaching. He tries to connect every information and gives only the necessary information (which is a lot for A & P). He grades easy. He is a gem of a person and very supportive. Just work a little hard on the notes you take and you will be fine.

This class requires DAILY studying/repetition of topics. Boliver's lectures were amazing -you could tell that he seriously knows what he's talking about. He will ask the class certain questions throughout the lecture- WRITE THOSE DOWN- you will be tested on them. The level of difficulty prepared me for my upper division nursing courses. Thank you!
