He is a cream puff...all fluff and no substance. Want an easy grade?.....take his course
i love this teacher!! =) he's actually one of my crushes.. lolz!
Great teacher; makes challenging concepts easy, very approachable and friendly,exams are pretty easy, makes class fun and not boring at all!

Love em! He's not a pushover teacher, but teaches so you understand. Lots of visual demonstrations and charts/pictures. Great in Lab too, but seemed to help the "early leavers" faster than those that put in the time needed. Got A's in both.
He is a very upbeat professor. The examples he uses will make you never forget what he is teaching. His tests are a little bit difficult. He is very helpful though and will take the time to help you as much as possible. This is one professor I will miss!
Horrible teacher. DONT TAKE HIM . Hard on grades. His lab is hard and he makes you think like you are in the military. Not a good teacher at all.
Very anal on labs! Thats understandable. But he tries to trick you on lab models, make you 2nd guess yourself. Or quiz you you on items that were barely talked about in class. To me thats not teaching, or preparing students for lab practicals. With that in mind do you think he has the student's best intrest in mind? A good teacher prepares students
He gives out the review questions for his test in advance. Answer those questions+study lecture notes,you will do just OK in the test. Test have 50 questions, 2 points each; final:100 question/1 point each. International students might have problem in taking lecture note and in understanding his lecture test questions. Study hard!!!
I have Dwane for lab and for lecture. His way of teaching is great; I have learned so much, and it seemed pretty easy. If it isn't on the sheet of objecitves he gives you or he doesn't mention it in class he won't test you on it. He is helpful and welcomes you to ask any questions. He is a little harder for lab, but I still highly recommend him!
Don't listen to this people down below and what they are writing. I had him for 223 & 224. Mr. Aulner is one of the best teachers to take for A & P, Labs yes he is not the easiest, but for lecture you will look forward to coming to class. his test are a little hard, but he is one that you will never forget
Very intense teaching and very hard lab quizzes but in the end you will know more about the lab material in comparison to other lab professors
So far, he is awesome. Yes, the material is hard, but he puts it to you in a very logical manner. I am so pleased with him (so far) that I plan on taking his 224 class. He is funny, smart, and upbeat!
Dwane is excellent.The best professor I've ever met.He makes the class very interesting. I feel so happy to be in his class.
Aulner is one of the best teachers at this school. Very interesting lectures. He does a good job of making difficult material understandable. Gives you a good study guide for the tests.
Makes lectures fun and understandable. You need to read the book AND the applications manual. Tests are confusing. Questions are clinical in nature. Wish he would have taught that way. He expects you to read the material, digest it and then make it applicable to the clinical setting. He gives you objectives for each test. study them!
He explains everything so well and keeps you interested in the subject. He's funny and dorky which makes him kinda cute. One of the best instructors I've had!
People please understand that all the labs are standard questions directly from Dr. Aulner, no one lab should be more difficult. If any difference, would be the flexibility of the instructor on grading the lab quizes.
The best teacher for A%P at CSN. He is hilarious and makes things very easy to understand. There is never a dull moment when he teaches. Gives you objectives to study. Review notes and objectives you will get an A. Definitely going to take him for 224.
I think he's one of the best professors I have ever had!!! I look forward to his class because he makes things so much easier to understand. Do the objectives he hands out and take great notes and you'll do good! And he is sooooo hot!!
I didn't realize that professors like him existed until now. He's AMAZING. His lectures are funny and never uses powerpoint Problem is, he's in high demand... so if you actually get into his class be grateful. I could go on forever about him, so I'll just stop now.. but he's great. :)
EXCELLENT TEACHER!! VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE
I had Aulner for Biol 223 and 224 and earned A's in both of them, and I mean earned, because high grades for these classes are not just handed out. Aulner is an excellent professor. He'll always clarify if you ask, keeps great office hours and welcomes visits, and provides his students with wonderful study resources. One of the best at CSN!
great, excellent professor!!! he makes this biology easy to understand. he loves his work and explains his class in and easy and entertaining way. professor Aulner ROCKS!!!
The best A&P teacher at CSN. He is easy to understand and only tests you on what he talks about in lecture and what is on his objectives sheet. Get him if you can. He's in very high demand.
He is unbelievably good. One of the best professors I have ever had in my life. He teaches a very difficult subject in a way that allows you to remember and understand. He is very straightforward and tests off of lectures and objectives. Uses the book A LOT. Know the objectives and you will do well.
Instructor Aulner is very matter of fact. You must study, he is fair, and interesting. I enjoyed his class.
He is a great teacher.His test are based on lectures and objectives. His test can be tricky, so pay close attention to his lectures. A&P is NOT easy, so prepare to study HARD!!
Top1 anatomy prof. in CSN
Great Professor. The subject is hard, but he makes it easy to understand. An A is possible, but you need to work for it. Study!
OMG HE IS SO AWESOME HE GIVES YOU STUDY OUTLINES FOR EVERY CHAPTER IN THE BEG OF CLASS HE DOENS'T USE THE BOOK FOR TESTS ONLY HIS OUTLINES AND NOTES. HE IS THE BEST TEACHER I'VE TAKEN SO FAR. YOU DO HAVE TO STUDY AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE SMART I EARNED A "B" YAY!
Awesome teacher. Gives objective sheets and lectures are awesome. Whatever is on the objective sheets and whatever is said in lectures will be on the test. You can pass if you put in the time and effort into this class. Book used mainly for reference, but I highly suggest having it! Take this teacher for both A&P 223 and 224 you wont regret it!
Unbelievable! The BEST TEACHER ever at CSN. He teaches so great. you wont regret to take his class ( He is CUTE!!!) He dosen't writhe on the board so international students might have problem in taking lecture note.
He is a GREAT teacher; explains everything in detail. He is NOT an easy "A" ask anybody in the class. Exams are 50 questions, no print out notes, no extra credit, no curving. Fair game on exams for whatever he discuss in his lectures and on objectives. Highly recommended especially for audio learners NOT for visual learners. Prepare to STUDY!
Wow! Everything is said. He is the best in CSN. But don't have chance to have'em for spring(224) since it's full.I highly reccommend to have a recorder. His exam-5 and one final-all are from what he said in lecture and his objectives-study guide.So don't west ur time on the 10Lb book.I will miss u Dwan!
He is a great teacher. His class is not easy, you will have to study. However he presents the info in a way that makes it easy to learn. Objectives are very helpful and all tests are set up the same so you know what to expect. Great office hours, very helpful. As an added bonus he's funny and a little cute too! Will be taking hime for 224 as well.
The material is not easy, but he makes it crystal clear on what you need to know and is very helpful! Take Aulner, especially if you are worried about labs with little background in bio...
i luv him !!! best teacher ever !!!
love him
Although I had heard wonderful things about his lecture classes he is by far the worst lab instructor yet. He grades off every aspect of the lab but does not teach any part of it. He mostly barks orders and says if you need help let me know and it should be thought in lecture. Going to lab was a huge waste and irritant factor. He sucked.
Mr. Aulner is a great professor! Anyone to get him is extreamly lucky, as he is a great teacher. I tried to get him for 224 as well, but he was already booked :( Take this professor, you'll love the way he teaches!
Great teacher. Cant say anything but good things about this professor. He has a way of teaching that will get you interested, and what he teaches sticks!! Wish I could take him for 224!!
This guy is a genius at teaching this very difficult subject. He uses everyday scenarios to teach. I just love him!! I will take him for sure next semester for 224. If you are able to take him do it, but his class fills up quick to register early. You won't regret it. This is my 2 time taking 223 and so far I am getting a "B". Yea!!
Not the greatest teacher dont see what all the fuss is about!! Although he does try to make sure you really understand the material by using his elaborate and funny examples. Does not use powerpoint and is all over the chapter which makes it kinda difficult to keep up. Will gladly answer questions but i would not recommend taking him.
he is the best teacher i have ever had. not saying he is easy, you will study your butt off but he never tries to confuse you. very straight forward. i took him both for 223 and 224 about two years ago. i am taking chemistry 110 with a very difficult teacher and i go to mr. aulner to ask him about chemistry because he explains it better than my tea
Prof. Aulner is great. Take him for A & P if you can. You WILL need to study, but if you are taking this class it is probably because you HAVE to and in that case, you NEED to KNOW the information. Prof. Aulner will help you understand but ultimately it is up to you to study the info. out of all of the other professors, he rocks!! Taking him f
Professor Aulner is one of my favorite professors at CSN. He is very helpful and explains things so they make sense. I took him for both 223 and 224, I only wish he tought Nursing also! You definitely have to put time into your studies. If you read the book and go to lectures you will do well in this class. Highly reccomend Aulner! GOOD LUCK!
Mr. Aulner is super easy. He makes difficult concepts very easy to understand by using daily scenario. As long as you read the textbook, attend every lecture, and go over the objectives he hands out, you will do fine in his class.
Very good lecturer and tells you what too expect on the exam. Take good notes and don't miss class, hard ass subject but you will pass.
I had professor aulner for both AP 1 and 2. He is the best professor by far not to mention real cute :) I highly recommend him for any student. He is most definitely UNFORGETABLE!!
I loved Aulner's A&P classes. He uses real life circumstances to help you understand hard concepts. He gives you objective lists, so if its on the list or in your notes it is fair game for the tests. He is very helpful if you see him during office hours. Highly recommended!
Highly recommend! You will have to study your butt off, but that's expected for this class. His lectures are great and you actually want to listen to him. He explains things clearly makes things relatable. 5 lecture tests and a final. He is very passionate about the subject and it shows! I'm taking him for 224 as well!
I love his analogies and drawings! Very helpful in terms of making it easier to remember material. Go visit him in his office, he'll gladly help!
The best lecture teacher I have had in a very long time. The hardest exams I have ever taken. He may be entertaining, but prepare (really prepare) to study. The concepts are tough and all his exam questions are clinical type questions. There is no straight forward question or answer. You HAVE TO KNOW all the specifics about a concept. Have FUN!
THIS GUY KNOWS HIS STUFF AND HE TEACHES IT VERY WELL. IF YOU CAN GET A SEET IN HIS LECTURE THEN YOUR STUPID NOT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT. NEVER HAD SUCH A GREAT TEACHER BEFORE. EVEN THE HARDER CONCEPTS STICK BECAUSE OF ALL THE ANALOGIES HE HAS. HE RELATES EVERY SINGLE THING HE LECTURES ON TO A REAL LIFE SENARIO. 5 TESTS AND 1 FINAL.
Fantastic teacher. Tells you what you need to know up front, and his tests aren't full of trickery like other 223 professor's are. He has a wonderful style of teaching and a sense of humor about it all.
this guy is a great teacher but you have to study and do the objectives like it is homework or you will bomb your tests. four test plus one comprehensive final. loved this class couldnt get a seat for 224 but i wish i did.
Good instructor. Record his lectures, do every objective, study, study, STUDY or you won't pass his class. His tests are tricky & there are always a few that he really tries to test your knowledge on. He's very smart & knows his stuff (shows in his lectures/tests). You will NOT pass this class if you are lazy and want an easy A.
Professor Aulner is the best professor i have ever had. He knows the subject left and right. He is a fair game! study his objectives and his lectures and study, study, study, study and you will be fine. His test are coming straight from the objectives and lecture (notes). Love him. Also he is super helpfull, alwyas willing to help! Thanks Professor
He is the best professor I have ever had!! He really cares about his students. You have to know the material and STUDY!!! His lectures are never boring and I looked forward to them.. Consider yourself luck if you get into his class. I wish he taught biol251! The best professor ever!
You will have to study this is no easy A! He is by far the most amazing professor I have ever had. He is one of a kind and his lectures will be definitely missed. I hope he is getting paid good because the kind of professor he is...is priceless!!!
Definitely not an easy class, but Prof. Aulner is a good instructor. 5 exams and a comprehensive final, all based on his lecture notes and objectives. Completing his chapter objectives on your own study time outside of the classroom is the most important thing to remember in his class! You pretty much teach yourself in this class.
Good Lecture. Hard Exams. But all in all......I'll recommend him...because all the questions on the exams are from the objectives. You can't fail if you STUDY!!!! Got a B.
He's a great lecture teacher however his tests are difficult. He likes to take that extra step to make you think outside the box to make sure you understand a concept as a whole and not just memorizing key parts. Expect clinical questions and scenarios on his exams. He is very helpful if you need it though.
Everyone knows Bio 224 is a really hard class. Aulner makes it a lot easier, he relates everything to the real world and gives many examples. Definitely suggest him
Best professor ever! He can take something hard and turn it into a good time ;)
A prof. that cares about his students!!He's always around to answer any ?'s you may have, he's clear and relates things to others to make them easier to understand. He's comical in his lectures. Attendance is not mandatory but HIGHLY recommended. Attend class, record his lectures and complete objs. and you'll do awesome!!
Best Professor!
Aulner proved to be one of the best teachers I've ever had. Made difficult topics easily relatable through many easy to remember analogies. Was always very helpful when asked for clarification outside of class. I really wish he taught every subject I needed to take.
Had him for both 223 and 224, and he is one of the best professors in the school next to Dr. Rich Numrich (Statistics)... These guys are the best because they love what there doing, and they care to make a difference! If you want to learn, enroll with them
Best bio preofessor ever taken, loved his analogies, the way he described things made the subject less harder than it already was. Definitely recommended!!!
Great instructor! Record lectures because this is not an easy course but he explains things to make you understand A&P. He is always willing to go over material in office if we didn't understand it in class. Answers emails but not on weekends so beware.
I really liked this class. Prof. Aulner is great at explaining things so they are easily understood. I love how he relates subjects to real life. He is also kinda funny. It is best to come to class, his test do include a lot from his lectures.
He rocks!
Hands down best professor I've ever had. Professor Aulner makes this class understandable. Show up, complete objectives, record lectures, put in study time and you'll pass. I've never had a professor that goes out of his way to help! Exam days, I study in the library and without fail EVERY time hes in there walking around to answer questions!
The best teacher I have ever had. Very helpful and cares about his students. Always willing to explain difficult concepts and has a unique ability to help his students remember A & P.
Best AP Professor I've ever had. He makes learning enjoyable by using personal & relatable experiences. As long as you complete the objectives, take notes, and re-listen to lectures you can pass his class. I will definitely take him for 224.
This professor condenses material for you and makes it very easy to receive a good grade if you put in the study time. There are no surprises on the tests as long as you take good notes and do the objectives. He makes complex concepts easy to understand. You will not regret choosing him as your professor for A and P.
awesome professor. great examples. hits stuff with yard stick. describes hitting, stabbing, slicing, taking out: body parts. great way to visualize what the body is doing during different functions, senses, motor action, etc. funny
He is very clear and helpful! Ask him anything after class and he will make sure you understand all the concept. Do not miss any test, his make up test is extremelly HARD!!! I had to draw diagrams etc. His regular tests are much easier, do not miss them for ANYTHING!!!
Took Aulner for 223 & 224 - He is fun to listen to, & does a GREAT job of explaining concepts - don't miss class, this class in hard in general - His test make you think - try not to over think though - that's my downfall :) I did ok in both 223 & 224. I am glad I took him - he might be harder than other teachers but you will REALLY LEARN SOMETHING
One of the best. Hard class no matter who you take it from. So take it from the best! He makes hard phys. concepts crystal clear. Wish I had another class with him.
Never boring in Class BUT: 1. Never utilize texbook effectively. He never follow the class syllabus he provided and ask questions on tests not discussed in lecture or book. 2.Questions in tests are too objective in nature, test questions are too vague to be understood. 3. Too many funny stories in class which makes class humorus..no more space
He makes fun at his family members during the lectures; I did not learn anything new. You have to memorize only the textbook and a list of rare diseases. I stopped going to his lectures in the middle of the semester; he gives hard tests with stupid questions
Great professor. Uses book only as a reference. Take notes and use the objective list to study. 5 tests (50 multiple choice questions - 2 points each), and 1 comprehensive final exam (100 multiple choice questions - 1 point each).
this class is really hard, but he helps explain concepts with real life stories, and makes it funny in the process! two things you need to know: one: go over in class notes and make sure you understand those concepts and two: go over+answer his objectives! very very important! it helps on exams! 5-50pt exams + 1-100pt comprehensive exam. recommend!
this is a hard class, I don't know why everyone is saying that he is so great. He lectures well but when it comes to his exams, it is nothing that he lectures about! He says that the lecture notes/objectives are all on his exams, but they are not. If you take his class you will HAVE to study the book or > don't take his class > better off
nice guy/ bad teaching style. His exams have nothing to do with his lectures/ read the book and don't listen to him. Lectures so you can understand concepts/ but exam questions are not what he lectures on/just teach yourself and you will do better /don't have to go to class to listen to him lecture
Great teacher! Exams are tough, but he gives you a list of objectives you need to study. He doesn't use the textbook which is nice. I enjoy his class very much that I am taking him for 224 next semester!
I have to say i enjoyed his class quite a bit. I love stories and since he relates many concepts with real life stories the hard stuff was easier to remember. Record his lecture, take notes. But over all he is an awesome teacher. Not an easy subject but he makes it EASIER to understand. All the negative commenters probably didnt study or something.
This professor is a must. He makes class very interesting and fun. He will make you laugh so hard that you stay interested. I was lucky enough to get him for 224 and am so excited. Try to get him if you can.
The people who say his exams were not on his lecture definitely DID NOT study! His exams are based on his lectures AND objectives which you can print out. Do this and study hard, and you'll get a good grade in this class. One of the best biology professors I've ever had!!
There's a reason he has 2.5 rating as far as easiness. Take another instructor instead. His classes are very confusing and his study guide is so long that literally you will have to know everything on the text book. yes, his tests are based on the book and notes but it's a whole lot to memorize. If you want to pass get another teacher.
currently taking this class. we are almost to the end of the semester and all i can say is i work my but off studying each day and managing to get a C in this class. i wish i had a better instructor
He will assume that you have no life and will dedicate all your time to studying for this class. I go to tutorings and everything possible to get help, but this instructor is hard and doesn't help. Exams are literally 10 pages long with so many questions. I cry every time theres an exam
VERY, VERY DIFFICULT! Provides study objectives, though doesn't test on them. Rambles in lecture and doesn't test over it. Skips around book. Almost impossible to prepare for his lectures, and then they don't help on the tests. No assignments other than the tests. If you do bad on the exams, you do bad in the class. BEWARE! He is nice.
Prof Aulner is a great teacher! Even though I didn't get enough points for a C, I'm re-taking his class. He makes a tough subject interesting but you need to understand the concepts, it's not just memorizing. That's what I realized too late. He makes everything crystal-clear! Take him, use his objectives and apply the concepts & you won't be sorry
This is by far the worst instructor ever! His study guide is massive. You will spend days and days to complete it and before you know the exam is right around the corner. He expects you to self learn everything. Going to class is pointless because you can get everything from the book. one class is equivalent to taking 5 classes at once.
He is too much fluff. He talks really slow and doesn't really get to the point. His examples are longer than the point he is trying to make. And you have to learn everything by your self. be prepared to sit at home and finish the study guide for 12+ hrs.
I think he is humorous but not his teaching skills
his lecture is pointless! i hate that he has so much fluff in his lecture. He doesn't talk about anything important in his lecture. this is a learn it on your own class.
I was honestly expecting a professor who explains everything and gives you the notes that are needed. But he is far worst from my expectation. His objectives is like 10 pages long. He doesn't even talk about his the study guide in class. No review days what so ever. Take him if you like online classes. This is a like a online class.
I have just finished my first exam with Prof. Aulner, and to be perfectly honest It wasn't a walk in the park, but was not difficult either. If you pay attention in class and study the objectives anyone should be able to pass his test with a good grade. He is an amazing teacher and seems very honest on his test.
He is a funny guy. Enjoyed his lectures and he ready to do endless amounts of objectives. Super hard. I don't really like the style he teaches. I would rate him a 2 our of 10 on the way he teaches.
I work about 20-25 hrs a week. But the workload and studying for this class is still ridiculous. I feel like I barely have time to study. His lectures are long and boring. He rambles a lot and his notes are sloppy and hard to follow. I would take a different professor.
I seriously do not understand why he has such good ratings. The way he teaches is ridiculously fast. He has 5 exams and rushes through everything. He doesn't pace his teachings. he has exams with 2 chapters and a different one with 5 chapters. He doesn't even give you enough time to study before another final is around.
He needs to learn to pace his teaching instead of cramming everything in. And have review days. That would help tremendously. Rambles a lot. A good chunk of it isn't relavent to lecture.
i wish he had take home quizzes or something that would help with your grade.
very boring lecture. read the book. and you will pass. super hard. hard exams. he expects you to know a lot more than other professors.
I don't understand why Prof Aulner gets such horrible reviews! I think he is an amazing prof. He doesn't ramble about nonsense, he gives you examples so that it makes it easier for you to remember the materials. I haven't finished his 223 lecture, but I've scored 909498 percent on so far his first three tests. It's a hard subject overall.
This class is hard. He has you to remember way too much information. I absolutely dislike his teaching method. Tests are hard.
This course is way too much to handle. He goes over a chapter a week. Each chapter has objectives, which consists of 15-20 questions. Each questions has questions of its own. He just expects too much from one course. I just wish he gives more time for his students to study. Oh and on top of that his exams are hard.
I think he is better than a lot of other biol professors. He is helpful, fair, nice,and funny. He tries to help you if you ask. And he has objectives which are guidelines for you to study from. He is a super cool guy, with a very laid back personality. Although, his exams are tough.
This is the 4th different biology professor here are CSN and have to say it has been the best experience to date. I now understand the concepts rather than just memorizing facts to recall for the test. Yes his tests are hard but they are a lot easier than most other professors. Would tell all my friends to take his classes!!
Ok to start Im not a teenager thats just complaining. Im an adult student. His lectures are good, you so think his test will be easy,NOT. Lectures are laid back and interesting. Test are all 50 questions so you cant miss many questions. Study guide is worthless. People who do well in his class are the few amongst us who remember everything.
Aluner was AMAZING, I learned a lot for him and it had made my continuing nursing education easier. If you are not going to invest the time into the class then DO NOT take it. He is there in office hours to answer questions, even before a test and was always helpful. I would take his class again. LAB counts, its what lowered my grade
Extremely tough professor. He tends to rambles a lot and gives examples. Except not everyone can relate to his examples. He throws in way too much information on his objectives for you to know. More than other professors. I would only take him again if I'm going to quit my job right now, if not his class is unbearable.
he is nice. but horrible at teaching. cant deal with his chicken scratch. he doesn't write notes on the board and expects you to know it. don't have a clue on how to follow his lecture he jumps around all over the place.
He is one of the best teachers at CSN. He makes his lectures understandable. He has 5 multiple question exams and a final. He goes off notes and study guide, but book is good for reference. I am definitely taking him for 224.
He words his questions really weird and hard to understand. You often come close to 2 answers that are so similiar and that's why his exams are so hard.
This class is hard. but he is the nicest professor ever. He explains everything really well if you ask. extremely helpful. I didn't understand the way he teaches and his tests works but now I do. you just have to learn to understand his teaching method.
Very helpful and is there for you. Takes time to explain hard concepts. Always available in the office for any questions. Would take him again. Makes Biology interesting to learn, inspirational lectures. best professor on Campus!
Super funny, keeps the class engaged, and offers very helpful memorization tips. There's a lot of material , so get ready to do a lot of reading to cover the stuff he doesn't go over in class. Make sure you get notes from friends when you miss because there are 2-3 lectures he does that are on stuff the book doesn't cover.
He is an awesome Professor, and that is why I am taking him for 224. He is helpful, and his lectures are entertaining. I highly recommend him for A&P!
Definitely tough but a good professor. Study his objectives and notes and you'll definitely get a good grade! and make sure you understand concepts that he goes over you cannot just memorize things and expect to be able to pass his exams. Those things are HARD !! I would take him again if I had to.
I hate the way his test questions are worded or the way he asks them. I like going to lecture because it's interesting but the way his exams are written in is horrible. Please professor aulner if you are reading this change the way your questions are worded. But over all great professor.
I don't understand the way he teaches. He's extremely confusing. Super fast paced. I recommend just to take one class if your taking him. He's an over load. Other professors are not nearly as tough as he is.
I agree with every one. His exams are plain torture. I get the idea of understanding concepts in bio but his exams aren't just basic concepts it's every detail there is. Great teacher though.
Wouldn't take again
He's a really nice guy! I love his lecture. He definitely does give good examples and will answer your questions when asked. How ever, like a lot have said his exams are a bit hard. I feel defeated by his exams. I feel like he doesn't prepare you enough for them.
I loved this class, but I did have to work for it. His tests are not all that hard. I don't know why people say its torture and doesn't reflect what he lectured. BUT he did say anything he says in lecture and in the book and his objectives is up for grabs to test on. I got low As and high Bs on tests. My lowest test was an 82. Make time to STUDY
he writes a lot of his questions in scenario form which means you need to understand the idea of what is being taught. he doesn't really talk about everything thoroughly in his lecture. its unfair that he briefly touches on the subject and expects you to know the entire concept. when there is a scenario question it feels very disoriented.
he definitely is a pain in the butt. with everything that he wants you to know in such a short period of time is ridiculous. People who take him are parents, have a job. I feel like he is not very understanding of peoples life.
He's a super nice professor. Really funny and enjoy everything from him. He's hilarious and makes you laugh.
Yea he definitely thinks this is the only class we are taking, but overall a good professor. Nothing bad to say about him just that this is a hard class.
Yes! His objective questions are long. He doesn't really explain the questions from his objectives thoroughly and he speaks fast. I wish he didn't overload the class with so much information one class before the exam. He skipped so many questions! Horrible lectures! Could have better stayed home and study.
We took our first exam this week and honestly it was a lot of information. And now knowing what to expect I thought it wasn't bad. One way I feel that he could have done better is to really give us time and not shove a chapter in your face right 2 days before an exam!
Good luck memorizing the obj questions from front to back!
Currently enrolled in his 224 class and wow this guy is tough. His exams feels like some medical school question. And you have to understand every minor detail and think as if your in boot camp. He definitely doesn't explain well enough in his lecture to cover the material on his exams.
A tough course. his lectures are intensely compacted. Exams are awful. Feels a lot like him trying to fail every one. We started off with a great number of students and a lot has dropped.
This guy is no joke tough. Doesn't waste time on a lecture and his questions are extremely hard. Good luck!
Taking this course with dwane feels like I am on crack. Exams after exams! Feels like I Do Not have time to even Breath. No time to sleep.
I have taken 223 with a different professor and now I'm taking it with dwane aulner. I study all a lot for this course. I still find his questions to be hard. I prefer my old instructor.
He is by far the toughest Instructor I have ever had. He is great at explaining, in the sense of physiology. But he is extremely strict and his questions are challenging. He has too many guidelines for you to understand in the obj. I don't like the way his class is structured.
I took him for 223224 (only because I was used to his teaching tactics from the previous semester) Aulner is definitely not the easiest, but he does make class somewhat interesting by all his stories. Test are tough. Use his objectives to study. Record the lectures and take good notes. Attendance is not required but highly recommended! Good Luck!
Great teacher! His lectures are interesting and he is very good at explaining. Biology isn't easy, but he is always willing to help out. His tests are fairly easy if you understand the lectures and do the objectives. I'm glad my friend recommended me. Will be taking again in the fall.
He doesn't provide PowerPoints like other professors. Must be organized with notes. Make sure you take good notes. He is very sarcastic all the time. It gets annoying. Every example he gives you is in the form of an anology. He is not straight forward when explaining something to you. Exams are really hard. He challenges you. He is very smart tho.
Aulner has been my favorite teacher for the past two semesters. You simply cannot find a better teacher. His teaching abilities exceed most others in that he can teach the most difficult concepts so one can understand. With that said, this is a hard course. His test questions are so difficult. He gives a study guide that is very helpful.
He is the best 224 professor there is. I had an awful 223 professor and was SO happy to upgrade to Dwayne. His exams are fairly easy if you know what to look for. DO THE OBJECTIVES. The book isn't as necessary as with other professors, but still helpful. I would definitely take class with him again.
Lectures do not reflect test must study text book for clarity and for a good grade!!!
He's extremely nice and helpful. I give him credit for that. The obj are a pain in the butt to work on. Each questions has its own question and the numbers of vocabs to define is ridiculous.
This class is TOUGH!! Don't expect anything more than exam grades because he is no joke with his grading curriculum. His exams are tough on the scale of "tough-o-meter" i feel like I understand his lectures, but I never feel confident for his exams. Good luck on spending hours studying.
Dwane has been my favorite professor so far! He is extremely specific as to what you need to know for exams. Follow his objectives while you are in classstudying & you will be golden. I'd highly recommend recording his lectures and redo-ing your notes before each exam to ensure you catch everything he said. The class was tough, but so worth it!
This professor is one of the toughest professor I have taken. He has no power points. Exams are based on the objectives which then have multiples of questions, tables, charts for you to memorize. He doesn't go over everything from his objectives. He made me doubt my self whether if I am in the right field. Wouldn't recommend.
Avoid at all costs. Doesn't use powerpoints. His lectures are interesting, but the tests are unbelievably hard. Even if you read the book, listen to his lectures and take notes you will fail. His tests consist of trick questions, and questions where all the answers are right but you have to pick the one that's the most right. WOULD NOT RECOMMEN
His exams are TOUGH...! he doesn't really have a guideline as to what to study for. It's read the book and follow his objectives but tests are just way too hard!
Aulner is the best teacher i have ever taken. He explains very hard concepts great! He is probably the hardest A&P teacher at CSN, but one that will for sure prepare you for your future. I took him for 223,224 and now at UNLV and i still remember most of his lectures and lessons. They stick! i Got good grades, but not all did. Hard work is a must!
Not good a delivering the material for his test in lecture. Plan on learning it on your own time.
Biology is a tough class no matter who you take, but Professor Aulner helps break down concepts. There were 5 tests and 1 final. We had an objective print out for every test to know what to study for. Yes, it's a lot to study, but if you do, you'll do great on his tests. No trick questions, just lots of application.
Professor Aulner is an amazing instructor/professor he crystal clear about what to expect and what will be asked on exam with the use of his objectives. He is by no means easy, but you NEED TO FULLY KNOW YOUR STUFF to get an A. His class has helps prepare you for what's to come in nursing school. Record and listen to all his lectures, Love Aulner!
I don't understand why students who most likely are entering in a medical profession seek an easy A in BIO 223 and 224. What they should be really after is an incredibly smart professor who is in love with the human body from head to toe and KNOWS how to transmit that knowledge in a fascinating and never boring way. That is Prof. Aulner!
Anything on the objectives AND his lectures can be used as questions on the exam. Some of the objectives require you to read the book. There are a total of 5 multiple choice exams consisting of 50 questions and 1 final cumulative exam consisting of 100 question. Record lectures and answer ALL the the objectives and you are sure to pass.
Professor aulner is a great professor! He knows his material only up to a certain degree. If you've ever taken a professor with a PH.D. You'll know he isn't exactly up to date with his teachings. He is extremely tough. Exams are ridiculously confusing to understand.
I'm a current nursing student. His class prepared me very well for what nursing cool. Much of the info he emphasizes in class will come back in nursing school. So try to apply and understand as much as you can. If you think his exams are hard, you might want to rethink nursing school. It only gets harder.
Aulner has been one of my fav Proffessors this semester. Hes head of the Bio labs so he tends to merge the 2. If you can take his lecture before lab it will help you out entirely. I didnt get so lucky unfortunately. Tests are rough. I had to study (go figure in college) but he is well worth the work. And that A will look oh so sweet!
So far, he's the best professor I ever had. His class was never boring, and I wish that all the professors I've encountered were like him. I always brag how great he is. The exams were tough, But hey! who said A&P is easy? Love him!!
Aulner is the best A&P instructor at CSN. He gives you objectives for each chapter so if you put in the time to study and understand these you will pass this class. Use Wiley online its helps! He relates lecture to lab which helps you understand the anatomy and physiology of the subject. Rewriting notes for each chapter was a big help for me.
I haven't finished yet but I'm sadistically hoping I fail so that I can take his class again-THAT'S the mark of a truly great professor. And if I do pass, which might be a miracle because it really is a tough class REGARDLESS WHO TEACHES IT FYI, I will be in his office frequently for help with different courses. I could listen to him talk forever.
best professor ever! i fall in love with anatomy and physiology! professor Aulner is so good at explain A&P stuff, made everything so interesting. he will make you a AP nerd , and he is pretty good at it. huge fan of professor Aulner! you will do good if you really put effect on it!
I don't understand some of the negative feedback Prof. Aulner is getting. He is very clear in lecture. DO NOT read the book it does not help. He has objectives on Canvas that you SHOULD print out!! They WILL be on test, I answer all the questions and put the definitions on flash cards, don't skip class. Best teacher I've had.
Avoid Prof. Aulner i could give him credit for being nice but as a professor you won't learn anything his lecture seems to be alive but it was very disorganized. His exams are all extremely unclear and supposed to be concept analysis but it was like memorizing the dictionary .
Professor Aulner is a Professional Leader of his profession. An individual that goes out of his way to help his students succeed. He makes a point to stop when he see you studying in lab, library, and in Science Research Center to answer questions and gives short positive recognition. He does not give you an A, he lays a path, you must decide...
Very funny teacher. Explains everything thoroughly but you have to read the book to pass the class. He doesn't go over everything in class so you have to read the book to figure out the rest for the test. Is there for you if you need help. Overall good teacher.
He is an amazing professor, I will be taking him for 224. I think he is very fair. Lots of objectives, but completely doable.
All Bio A&P classes are extremely difficult. Be prepared to dedicate hours of studying. Professor Aulner is an excellent instructor. He is hilarious entertaining but makes learning A&P enjoyable. Exams are challenging. Put in the work and you'll receive the grade you deserve. I highly recommend this professor. He is helpful and wants you to succeed
This teacher is not tricky as i have read in other reviews. Yes it does require you to understand the material as some questions are asked in a "as if" situation. On top of the lectures there are a lot of definitions in his objectives that need to be learned. This class is very hard and demanding but he is very helpful if you go to his office.
Great professor that really makes class fun and interesting. He explains everything very good and he is there to help his students. Would definitely recommend him over any other instructors. I had to take 223 with another professor and I seriously hated that class, but with Aulner in 224 it was the opposite.
Biol 223 is a difficult subject period! Aulner is a good professor and knows he's stuff. You HAVE to read ahead to stay ahead in class, and that still may not be enough. Talk to him if you're struggling and he will give you helpful advice. Good Professor but very tough, and if you have questions email them to him, no time in class for questions.
Dwane is an amazing professor. I took him for 223 and will be taking him again next semester for 224. It's a tough subject but he does a good job of making sure the class can understand difficult concepts. You HAVE to go to class or else you'll be totally lost, but that isn't his fault, it's just a hard class!
No matter who ya get, A&P is very difficult! Dwane is amazing at teaching the hardest concepts & uses real life examples to compare certain bio topics you will cover. He gives a packet of objectives thats you need to know for every exam so you never have a surprise question, JUST MAKE SURE YOU STUDY THEM ALL! Taking him for 224 next semester!
Professor Aulner's class has got to be THE best lecture I have ever taken. His way of teaching has helped me enjoy learning A&P. He told the most understanding analogies and even taught with easy drawings and demonstrations. I didn't need a book for this class, but I did listen to recordings. Tough, but study and you won't regret taking the class!
I took Bio 223 lecture last semester with Aulner. I have heard soo many horror stories about this subject. I could not have done it without Aulner's lectures. Seriously he really helped me understand things in a way that helped me remember. Take him!! Of course you will have to study alot but he is the best. Taking him for 224
i wish i would have had him for bio223, best biology teacher. he really simplifies this hard subject. these classes are hard as it is lots of work but he really came in the clutch
Best lecture ever! Unfortunately, he does not test on what he teaches. He teaches concepts but tests on the application of the concepts. The only thing more confusing than his test questions are the multiple choice answers he gives you to choose from.
Aulner is a great 224 professor. He explains concepts very clearly and is a really funny guy. He is down to earth and speaks at a level you can understand. He does not have power point and uses the textbook heavily. Record lectures and carefully listen to everything he says. I really enjoy his class and would highly recommend him.
Great lecturer. Teaches concepts in an understandable manner. Tests are very wordy and confusing. He has been teaching for 32 years. Very tough class, but if you study and seek help when needed you may be able to pass. I did not do well on his exams. Will probably not be taking him for 224. 5 exams and 1 comprehensive final. Great guy though.
Professor Aulner is by far the best professor I have taken. He is clear in what he wants, and compares each topic he talks about with an analogy that allows his students to understand it easier. He uses the textbook A LOT, specifically for diagrams and tables. Take notes, record lectures and don't be afraid to ask questions b/c he is there to help.
I took Aulner for lab and hes awesome! He presents his material in a way that helps you understand and helps you remember. His questions are very clear, however, if you have a question he wants you to ask as he says he does not want you to miss something because of his wording. Highly recommend him! Taking him for 224 Lecture next semester!
This guy is the best! Record his lecture, get the book, and do EXACTLY what he says. he says make a chart, make the chart! I would listen to the lecture and rewrite the notes after every class. He will go over very smaller details in 10 min That'll make ur head feel like it's spinning. As long as u record n have ur book ill b A-OK. Go to evry lec.
He is a nice guy and good lectures but he lectures straight from the book no powerpoints or other materials to help student understand the topic. Your grade is only based on tests so if you're bad at taking tests, reading, and note taking then don't take him. Tests mostly comes on things he didn't cover in class so it is up to study his objectives.
He is a nice person and will answer questions/concerns. His way of teaching is pretty straight forward. He makes it clear what material he wants you to study for his tests. Many times he will use analogies so his students can better understand certain concepts. Lots of studying involved! He lets you audio record his lectures which is a huge plus!
Dwane is a really great professor; his lectures are fun and knowledgeable but the thing that killed me were his 50 Q Exams which were 2 pts per question. Meaning if you missed 10 questions, that's 20 pts off your grade. Attending class isn't mandatory, but if you miss class, you'll miss the little details that he could possibly put in his exams.
Dwane is a good professor, his lectures are awesome but you also have to do a lot of reading from the text book because thats where most of his exam questions come from, although he claims they dont. Attendance isnt mandatory but if you miss a class you are potentially missing important information.
Great teacher that gives you what you need to pass the class.
The objectives he gives are very helpful to the test! As long as you study you will do great! His lectures are important and give a lot of information dont skip class!
Personally think he is a great professor. Attendance is necessary to pass because he gives alot of good information during lectures! Pay attention to ALL the lecture, including small details. Those are sometimes the test questions. Because he doesnt go over all objectives in class you will need the book.
learned most of the content in lecture, so had less study time outside of class. teaches in a descriptive, memorable, and mnemonic way. wouldn't have survived the TEAS science portion without this teacher. highly recommend him, A&P is naturally hard so you shouldn't expect much at all; however, this professor is great in simplifying the material.
Professor Aulner is so humorous; I can learn a lot of things but will not feel overwhelmed. He will give you his memory trick and many examples to help you learn the knowledge . I took his Biol 223 and Biol 224 lecture. He is very patient and would like to answer any of your questions. He is one of the best Biology professor I have met at CSN.
Lots of people love him, personally I don't you are given a list of extremely detailed list of objectives which he may or may not cover in class. Forced to do a lot of reading of material that was never explained and then be able to test on it. Be prepared to do a lot of Google/Youtube videos. Material he did go over is very good and organized.
Good luck taking this class with him. Very thought grader, the objectives are not all covered in class. Expects you to learn the objectives yourself. Go with another teacher and save your GPA. WORST MISTAKE I'VE EVER MADE IN MY LIFE!
I loved Aulner, I took him both for 223 and 224 and passed both classes. Doesn't use Canvas. Attendance is mandatory to pass the class because he goes over a lot of information in class. He does give objective to follow, he does not go over all of them in class so be prepared to put in hours to complete. MUST STUDY, you have to earn your grade.
Come to class, get the book, record his lectures. Listen to the lectures as you do the objectives. He covers most of objectives in his lecture. You get out what you put in. Grade based on exams and lab only. Test questions are conceptional. Loved him.
Lmao good luck to wherever is taking this class. Get ready to study 24/7 you will most likely end up losing your job over this class and your mind. Im a straight A student 4.0 gpa I should of listened to my classmates but didnt think I would do bad. Yeah right no matter how much you study it wont be enough. Tricky test questions. My first D ever
Not hard. Explains things in similes. I recorded lectures, rewrote notes, studied off the objectives he gives us. Have to really understand what is going on. Cannot base this off memory alone. Will take for 224. Tests are complex and need to understand the content, based on Content Mastery. No extra assignments. Just tests and lab points.
Prof. Aulners class was tough. Hard tests, doesnt go over everything in class, expects you to know the objectives he gives you BUT his objectives are pretty much the whole book. Be ready to dedicate your time to studying for this class. His tests are more advanced than what he teaches in class which is annoying.
Come to class, record the lectures, do your objectives and you will do good. I spent 15 hours a week on average studying for lecture, not including lab. I was never asked about material he did not cover in lecture or have in his objectives. You have to put in the work.
Thank you Professor Aulner for getting through the struggles of online class as we deal with this virus. He was awesome before this shutdown and still continues to do his best for his students. He is an old school professor and in my opinion thats what makes him so awesome. Study hard and u will pass this class no prob.
I would recommend taking him for 223 and 224 so you can create a routine with the way you study. He was an amazing professor, very upfront and old school. My advice would be to take notes on the book, because the diagrams he recommends help a lot. USE HIS HANDY DANDY HANDOUTS. I studied A LOT for his class so no cutting corners at all.
I really like this professor. Hes head of the science labs and he took over during the switch to online due to covid 19 and I really enjoyed him. From what I could gather he seemed like a good teachers . I appreciated the pnemonics and other helpful hints he provided. He was recommended by the ICU nurse who took care of my grandma <3
Had him for 223 and 224 Lecture. You get what you put in. Make sure to do the Objectives. It will make your life much easier. His way of teaching is great because he makes you understand concepts that are needed for future professions. I would strongly recommend him but make sure to put in the effort because if you don't, don't expect to get an A
Dwane is a great. All his tests questions come from lecture, so really pay attention and take good notes. He is funny and relates A&P to every day things. I enjoyed his class and did well. He gives great feedback and study tips based on missed questions, so utilize him. He just wasn't a good fit my personal learning style, I had to work for my A.
Amazing professor. Explains things very well, which my other friends envy. Pros:hilarious, lectures were never boring even online. Cons:Tests were super hard! you have to note everything he says to ace his exams, doesn't cover everything that's on the objective list, you will have to read a lot. Will take him for 224, I learned a lot from his class
Although he's a good professor, his tests are really hard. He's really funny but I wish he spent that time to actually explain the objectives. I learned a lot from him, but I would pick a different professor for 224.
Professor Aulner is a wonderful instructor. You will work hard for your grade but he applies a lot of the information to everyday life scenarios making topics easier to understand. His lectures are very informative, thorough and enjoyable as he has a sense of humor. He takes a great deal of pride in his work and goes the extra mile for his students
took him for 223 and 224. You need to study in order to pass these classes. take him. Do not over think it.
I heard good reviews about this professor but he wasn't for me. His test are tough and tricky. Don't skip class because you'll miss out on a lot of information.
All science courses are tough. You get what you put in. 5 exams ,1 final all 100 pts each, study and you will do fine. do all the objectives and take good notes for lecture. I didn't read the book, just notes and objectives. I think lab was harder than his lecture. Don't be afraid to ask him questions, he gets back to you quick.
Professor Dwane Aulner is a Nerd who lives at A& P Nerd Headquarters ! I absolutely loved his class . I had him for 223 & 224 both in person & online . Hes a great teacher who will get that brain working . If you study & listen to his lectures you will pass his class . His tests can be tough but never tricky . If you have questions ask him!
Prof Aulner is amazing. I had no idea what to expect with 224 lab being online. His videos were long, but very thorough and quite funny. I only wish I could've been in his classroom.
I am taking A&P during the pandemic and everything is solely online. Prof. Aulner really makes sure that you understand the material, is extremely thorough, and makes the lectures fun. Would definitely recommend him for any hard biology classes. If you have him and you put in the work, you'll pass with a high grade!
Since we have been online due to COVID-19, all of his lectures and labs are online. He is helpful and responds to emails in a timely manner, his lectures are lengthy, but he makes them fun, very funny guy. He helps you understand the material by giving examples of current things happening. Definitely recommend.
He breaks things down very easily so lectures are very helpful if you are not familiar with any Anatomy/Physiology, you can tell he enjoys teaching and he makes his lectures entertaining. He gives outlines on the material he wants you to focus on and taking notes is recommended.
he responds to emails fast and is really good for lab however for lecture his tests are insanely hard and tricky be aware he will try to give you multiple correct answers but wants the answer HE says is best during lecture
Dwane is one of the BEST professors I have ever had. I remember reading his reviews and being a little scared to actually have him. But I am SO glad I did. He really goes above and beyond to make sure you know the material. He is always available if you need questions answered and answers quickly. There are 5 exams and a final. TAKE HIM. 10/10!!!
I didnt have him for lecture, but he was the one who taught lab for everyone taking 223/224 this semester. He is AWESOME!! I think hes the best lab prof Ive ever had so far lol. He made concepts understandable which made lab really easy (which i thought was impossible). He made online lab very enjoyable. I will miss A&P nerd headquarters!!
I enjoyed taking this class. He makes it really easy to study for tests, just use the objectives! I can't stress enough how important the objectives are. He's really nerdy but nice and he wants you to succeed. Tests are the entire grade and the final counts as just another test. Keep on top of it, don't wait until the last min to study! It's hard!
Honestly the best teacher, I had him for lab this semester and wow I was blown away! His teaching abilities are amazing he just made it make sense. Also made class fun because it was online. I would recommend him as your lab teacher.
Online Lab. Do not need to be available during specific class times. He teaches everything in details and is so funny to watch. Do not skip a quiz, there is one every week. He is great!!
I loved Prof. Aulner and I will be taking him for 224. He is funny and explains everything so well. I must say that his tests can be tricky, he will pull very random info from lectures so take good notes. Also I really disliked the fact that while taking the exams you cant go back to a question. You have to answer it in order to move on.
He is excellent at explaining topics, however not everything will be covered in his lectures. He will provide a long list of questions for you to answer then study for the test. His exam questions are so tricky & all exams are online. You can't go back to your previous questions. 6 exams, no extra credit, WON'T curve/drop lowest score. Hard class.
He is a very good instructor for the lab. However, for lecture, he is really challenging. Graded by tests only. 50Q's, 2pts each. The tests are worded in a way to trick you. Not everything discussed in the lecture will be in the test. You have to read many chapters and do the objectives. Usually, the average test grade was either a D or a C.
Great detailed youtube videos, and great in class one on one instruction. Never hesitates to explain any body part to you and in a great welcoming way, his analogies stick. Beware A & P is a difficult class no matter who you take but his way of assisting makes it approachable and doable. Would recommend for lab 10/10.
I had a different prof for lab but heard about his vids on YT so that's why I wanted to post this. He's awesome for lab and I bet if u watch vids for 223L or 224L you'll do well. I got A's when I found out about them halfway thru 224L & 95% on practical, but it's all about repetition and practicing; time consuming 4 sure. Work hard & study.
This is my second time taking this class here at CSN. Compared to the last professor I had, I feel like I am taking an entirely different course, which CSN definitely needs to look into the topics each prof covers. This prof goes out of his way for students and makes all the material very easy to comprehend given you study/ask questions.
I had Prof Aulner for 223 and I still feel the same way about him, he's funny and makes things very understandable. He uploads all his lectures so attendance isn't necessary. His class is just 6 exams (including the final) no extra credit or homework. His exams are difficult but if you take good notes and use the objectives it's fine.
He teaches good, but his exams are very tricky there are multiple correct answers, be aware of it. I wouldnt take his class again.
He teaches all right, but his tests are very tricky multiple correct answers on his tests, online test wont let you go back on answers and review previously answers. He doesnt doesnt a good set up for online tests for BIO 224.
Super tricky tests very unclear answers for test, very tricky tests, he program online test by not letting you go back and review previously questions. Who does it? Check other professors who allow you to go back and review u test before you submit it, because on his tests you can only move forward.
I love that he knows what he is talking about but makes It so easy to understand by using his English terms which means he takes out the fancy words and just tells you exactly what It is. Easy to understand and honestly wish he taught every subject because he is just that good. He makes anatomy understandable and fun
I was able to pass summer 223 (8week course) with an A but I can't even pass a normal 224. The material is east however, it is how he words his exams that made it difficult for me. A question could possibly have 3 right answers but worded differently. It is online, timed and webcam on AND you cant go back to a previous question
one of the best. he is passionate about teaching. TAKE HIM! His videos on youtube for lab was so helpful. we have 6 exams including final. I believe he is a great professor and makes anatomy a bit fun.
Took him for both lecture and lab. Amazing professor! He records his lectures and posts it on canvas so if you missed the class you can still have access to the lecture videos. He also posts lecture and practice lab videos on his youtube channel and they are REALLY helpful in lab. I would take him again for 224!
By far one of the best professors I had here at CSN! He explains the materials clearly and also uploads lecture videos if you are not able to make it to class. Going to class, rewatching his lecture videos, and doing the learning objectives will help you a lot. Whatever he talks about in lecture or has on learning objectives are fair game for tests
Great professor and explains the materials clearly! The people that gave bad ratings probably did not put in the time and effort to study for his tests. This is not an easy class, but he gives you the resources to study for what could be on the test. He also makes youtube videos to help you study for lab. They are very helpful.
First off, Biol 223 is a hard class. No matter who you choose, biol223 will still be the same (same heavy load), you just have to find the right prof to teach it. Anyways, best prof hands down. VERY STRAIGHT FOWARD. 2 big tips; watch his lectures online AND* read the objectives. The objectives will come very handy when the final comes around!
Dwayne Aulner is a goofball and I had to speed up his online lectures but I'm so grateful for his labs and lectures online!!! I was able to revisit as many times as needed, take screen shots and study at times that were convenient for me. He doesn't require attendance in his lectures but lab attendance is always required. Will take again!
Prof. Aulner is amazing. It is so obvious that he cares about his students and is passionate about what he does. I wish I could take Prof. Aulner for more classes.
he's a good professor, i have him for lecture & lab. The annoying part about his lab is if you have ANY question at all, be prepared to have him mansplain the answer to you. I just wanted a yes or no answer & had to listen to him try to explain something for 12 minutes. Sir, like seriously, I didn't need all that! shhhhh!!!!
He was simple and straight to the point on what he wanted in lectures. Anything in his online lecture could be on the exam. Other anatomy professors were much harder and so he was the best.
Prof Aulner is amazing! regardless bio 223 is heavy no matter who you take. I just got lucky with him because you can actually understand him and teaches really well. He gives analogies for you toremember. He also has online recordings. I suggest attending the lecture and watching his online recordings to help on the test.
Took for 223 and 224. In person lecture and youtube videos will get you through. Not an easy class but 100% would take again.
After the first two tests the material was confused when it comes to the test. He says to use objectives and notes to study. Personally have nothing against him but his teaching method confuses me. If you take him good luck!!
Lab with Aulner is great. Aulner lets you study and do your own thing unless there is an experiment that needs to be done. He does not lecture at all for labs, which to be honest I was kind of hoping for, but at least he has a ton of free YouTube videos online that he made that you can study and watch, too. He is very organized. Highly recommend.
Prof. Aulner is awesome! Took him for lecture and he would do everything to help you remember things, including personal stories & analogies. He's hilarious and passionate about his job. Refers a lot to the textbook. His objectives and lectures are everything you need for the test. 4 exams and a final are what determine your grade. Study and GL! :)
Has online videos for you, provides great study tools and real life scenarios. Makes it easy if you need a flexible schedule with his supplementary video lectures. Really cool and enthusiastic about teaching. Use your objectives. Sometimes the questions are difficulty phrased but it's a difficult course regardless. He is one of the best.
I enjoyed coming to class! You can tell he loves science so much . It's really inspiring to see a person living in their purpose.This was definitely a positive learning experience for me. He's also very funny lol. If you watch his lecture videos along with showing up to class you will definitely pass. Looking forward to taking 224 with him.
Professor Aulner is an awesome teacher, I had him for BIOL 223 lab and I could not recommend him enough.
Great professor. He made me excited to come to class. Only missed one lecture all semester. Explains everything so well and his exams directly reflect the information taught in class. The only downside to this professor is how fast his classes fill up and I will not be able to take him for 224. Made me love Bio.
