Instead buy an older version of the anatomy book and buy the CD he sells in class for $60, its more helpful than anything. Tests are MC with 2 concept quest. Not easy! Study objectives!

The test are hard in this class, his lectures are very fast and I feel he didn't go over everything on the test. He gives you what to study in the back of the lab manual but its a lot to remember. As for lab its all self taught he basically sits there until everyone leaves. If you are a self learner then you'll do great!

Dr Shargo was a good lecturer in content but he went at a very brisk pace. He did seem to have endless patience when answering questions. Exams were very fair but there is a lot of information covered so read and review everything thoroughly. Flashcards were helpful. Make good use of lab time if you want to do well.

LOVE LOVE Doctor Shargo! Took him for Anatomy & Physio. He's incredibly knowledgeable on both subjects & he simplifies the material (as much as possible - it still is VERY complex material & you have to give 110%) & is incredibly patient. He always stressed the importance of understanding the concepts and not memorizing the chemistry or diagrams.

Don't be afraid to get your hands dirty. There are real cadavers and you have to touch them to memorize all the muscles and blood vessels. Lab exams are weighted more heavily than lecture exams, so learn everything you can during lab time. I averaged 70% on lecture exams and still got a B because I aced the lab exams.
