I had a good experience. He was very fair. If you take him you much read to pass his test. He does have an accent but understandable. He does not mind you asking him to repeat himself due to his accent. He wants you to understand. I enjoyed the class and he pushed me to do my best. I thank him for that!!!

He is very smart, you will learn a lot. He is not as "hard" as people complain. All you need to do is read the book and you will know everything on the exam. He expects a lot of independence from his students so don't expect to be pampered at all. It is easy to make an A in his class - his exams are clear. Reading the book is KEY!

Good professor at breaking things down so you understand the concepts. However, he does not test on concepts making attendence mandatory. He will go over small insignifacant things that are sure to be on a lab practical. This in my opionion keeps many from making great grades on what should otherwise be the easier part of this class.

Professor Elung is great. I retook anatomy and chose to take it with him and I went from a D to a B. He's very clear as to what to focus on his lectures since the test relies mainly on them. The tests aren't easy but they're not impossible. Great professor, really learned a lot from him!

While a good lecturer, and clearly knows what he's talking about and can explain it well, he was incredibly disorganized. Took his lecture and lab, he was late for many of the lectures & often unclear on what he expected for lab quizzes. In the lab, very much had the attitude of "figure it out yourself", and would rarely fully answer any questions.

Took class in summer 2. Needs a lot of studying. He knows the subject and explains very well. Also provides study guide and lots of materials to help get a better grade. Ask him questions when in doubt. Very patient and fair. If you work hard, you can easily make an A. He doesn't spoon-feed you, but answers questions. Would take again!

Only had him for lecture. Accent isn't bad, you can understand him no problem. He really knows the material, but teaching wise he is okay. Maybe if he used more group activities to understand the more difficult parts? One thing is he is not very welcoming to questions. He doesn't have a set schedule and you can easily miss an online quiz or bonus.

I liked his lecture class, You just need to read power point and your class note also there is extra credits. For the lab, he is a very tough grader. He doesn't care about your answer if it is not the one in his mind. He takes off point for spelling that is another problem. He has an extreme accent and low valium. Sit in front to hear.

Loved him. Clear, fluid lectures and a funny man. His tests are not tricky, nor are they so difficult you cant make an A. But you HAVE to study outside class. AnP is not something you take on casually. Elung will make sure you have a great shot at acing the class if you just come to class, take notes, and prepare at home.

Professor Elung was by far the worst professor I have ever had, he didnt even teach us anything and when he did he would just say it once and then youre left to figure it out. given that this was an anatomy class I would have assumed that he would at least teach but he didnt. I dont recommend taking him, I would literally take anyone else.

Professor Elung provides great power points and a study guide for every exam. The problem is, when you want something elaborated, he doesnt budge to help. He doesnt let students ask questions till after hes done lecturing long after. 5 Tests, 4 quizzes. Extra credit is optional(has to be purchased $90) for 4 points to each test, not worth it.

This is my second round at A&P 1 & Ive had a horrible experience both times. Elung, though is respectful, his PowerPoints are incredibly hard to follow. Repeating slides and labels are off. Typos & unfinished questions on exams & study guides are so unhelpful. They dont even follow the PowerPoints, I had to google a bunch of stuff on the reviews.

I took this professor over the summer as a 5 week course and it so really bad. He was always at least 15 mins late to lecture and went at least 15-45 mins over. He provided slides but would teach off of completely different ones. His tests did not correlate to what he taught. He also refused to help in lab. Do not take him if you can.

Hard to understand his accent or read his handwriting. You can tell he knows the material well just not very good at teaching it. Only provides powerpoints over the material and it doesnt really go into detail or cover everything he tests over.

I took his class last sememster after seeing the good reviews but didn't have the same experiences. He is hard to understand and you can't even read his handwriting so keeping up with him makes it quite hard. As well as not following the powerpoint in order, the only other help would be his textbook extra credits or 15 question quizzes.

Enjoyable lectures. He's knowledgeable about material but you need to go over the material before class so you don't get lost. Has ppt slides but draws diagrams which can be helpful if you're paying attention. Curves tests & has extra credit. Was behind schedule the whole semester so our class didn't even get to the skeletal system at the end.
