Frank is great. He tells you what to remember for the exam, and is very up front. He knows that none of us really want to take the class, and makes it easy for us to learn the material. He's really friendly. Study what he says to and you'll get an A. I strongly suggest him :)
He knows this class is so pointless. He tells you exactly what you need to know for the test. He gives a lot of extra credit which consists of running in the gym.
This class is really easy. He knows that this class is just a requirement to graduate so he makes it easy and enjoyable. He gives you the notes in class for exactly what the tests and quizzes and there is lot's of oppertunities for extra credit.
Frank is the man! I skipped a lot at first, which I highly recommend NOT doing for the class, and got way behind. Frank helped me out SO much with letting me make up assignments and quizes! Also, you can tell that he is very interested in teaching you, very rare at EMU!!!
Frank is the best teacher you can have. He is very helpful. He knows that health is a pre-req so he makes it easy and fun.
Very informative and also very understanding. I definatly recommend him to anyone!
Easiest professor ever. You will also learn.
I beg you to NOT buy the book! I didn't and I only missed a class or two and STILL managed a 98%. He tells you exactly what to remember for the test. Also, he gives extra credit opportunities!
Not only is it an easy class, but you will also learn alot. Go to all class meetings so you can highlight what he tells you to in the book and I guarantee if you study what you've highlighted than you will get an A on the tests. He also offers a lot of Extra Credit.
very helpful, will give you your grade at the drop of a hat. tests are quick and easy. the book is easy to understand but not really needed. i didnt highlight anything and passed with flying colors. it was a great class to take with him. will let you make anything up!
Easiest class ever. Show up. Take the tests. Walk for extra credit. If you fail this class, you probably didn't do at least two of these things. He provides the notes and where to highlight in your book. It's like being spoonfed. He's nice and funny and is very informative.
Frank is such a good professor. He is one of those guys who is generally smart, he knows everything! Very dedicated to his students that TRY to do well.Makes you learn everything to help you later on.
easy class...show up and do minimal studying for quizxes/exams and get an A. Tells you what to highlight in your book and thats the only thing he tests you on. He is very funny as well...I enjoyed his class because of his humor.
Great professor...you have to work hard though
Boring, annoying class, that by it's very essence is simple. Fedel doesn't complicate things and you can tell he's a genuinely good guy who will go to great lengths to help you get the A. You can't go wrong with him with PEGN210.
Frank is a excellent teacher and is passionate about he does. He really wants students to understand and he wants students to learn as much as possible. Taking this class will encourage you to take your career in nursing more seriously. Its kind of hard but if ur dedicated and ready to think in clinical terms u will do great!!Take him please:-)
great teacher but you'll definitely need to spend hours studying. requires you to learn a ton of info. It's worth it in the end... a good grade feels like a huge accomplishment, but intensity of amount of course material can be extremely stressful
Great instuctor! Wants you to succeed and is successful in driving concepts into your head and making you think outside the box. Come to class, read and study the material he outlines, go to study sessions he holds, and you will do well. It's not easy, it's work, but you could almost take your boards after this class(or at least think you can).
Professor Fedel is a great guy! His class is difficult, but he has a passion for teaching and truly wants his students to learn. You will spend a lot of time hitting the books for this class, but I imagine you would have to do that in any Anatomy course. I highly recommend this prof. He is always willing to go the extra mile to help a student!
excellent teacher! this class really prepares you for the next step in the nursing program... in just one semester you learn a year (or more) worth of material. that being said, this class is not easy and will require a lot of studying and dedication. however, fedel will do whatever he can to help u succeed...so ask questions and work for that 'A'!
This professor is a great asset to anyone looking for success in their future. He went above and beyond to help me acheive my goal of getting an A in this almost impossible course, but it can and was done! Don't even think of taking this class with another professor, you are a fool if you do!
I had Frank Fedel for SPMD 201 and 202-Human Anatomy and Physiology. You really have to work hard to get a good grade, but he will do anything possible to help you out. He's easy to talk to, and he sacrifices a LOT of his time for study sessions. This class takes a lot of studying, but you will learn soooo much! Highly recommended :)
This teacher makes you learn. He likes to teach and wants you to actually understand the material and not just get through the syllabus. He is willing to help you with anything you need. He gives extra credit which helps you a lot. This class is very difficult but he is an awesome teacher who will do anything he can to help you learn! He is great
He is very accessible and is not one of those teachers who can't be wrong. If you argue your point he will see it and reward you. I also always appreciate "nice" proffessors. That are ready to help.
awesome helpul and very very kind and professional
stUDY hARD
Prof. Fedel was extremely helpful and this class was fairly easy. All I had to do was complete the assignments on time (which you can pretty much do on your free time) and take the tests. I would highly recommend this class!
I liked having this class online. He always responded promptly when i asked questions, he was fair and reasonable, assignments for our bebefit. You have to study for the exams though, read the book, and do the quizzes online!
amazing teacher, extremely helpful, he keeps it very interresting, if you study hard and attend class you will do fine! just a lot of info.
I took this class online and highly recommend it. Prof. Fedel made it very easy to take this class with other classes. I learned alot more than I ever thought I would and it was interesting. You definately need the book though!
I took PEGN210 as an online course. It was one of the best courses I've had online. Fedel really takes an interest in his students and offers advice and guidance unequivocably. He's got a personality that even comes through online! I recommend this course to anyone interested in bettering their health and living happier livees. GO FEDEL!
His online class was easy. It was all quizzes and three exams with a few easy papaers and discussions.
Highly recommended!!!A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Used his online class and loved it! it was Self paced and very informative! Really shows care for the students even though you never come in contact with him!
only the best class ever! No matter what mood you are in he will cheer you up. i love this class mostly because he's so understanding.
Professor Fedel is really good! His way of teaching is fun and very helpful and he makes this class and discussions very interesting!
PROFESSOR FEDEL IS A GREAT TEACHER. NOT ONLY WAS HE CONCERNED ABOUT THE CLASS DOING WELL, BUT ABOUT LEARNING HOW TO INCORPORATE THESE PRINCIPLES INTO OUR DAILY LIVES. I BELIEVE HE PRACTICE WHAT HE TEACH. HOPE TO ME YOU ONE DAY SOON, PROFESSOR!
I found this clas to be very informative. The professor was well organized and kept the students informed about upcomong assignments, tests and projects. I would highly recommend taking this online class with Frank J. Fedel.
Seems like a very nice guy who cares about his students...
Fedel is an amazing professor who truly seems to care about his students, their education and their health. He has gone above and beyond to help his students understand the material and live healthier lives. He seems like a very good man and I would highly recommend his online course without hesitation! The quizes are easy, keep the book handy!
Very fair. very devoted to the subject. great influence!
Excellent Professor!! Absolutely love that you get to do the online class at your own pace - he understands that you have other classes and obligations! Pretty straight forward assignments that aren't that difficult. Definitely recommend!
very hard class but amazing teacher. you have to study a LOT but he will go out of his way to help you- always. really cares about his students
Very fair and openminded
The course was interesting and he made it more interesting with helpful links and stories. The tests and threaded discussions were straight forward - no surprises.
Took this class online. Covered topics from birth control to violence and everything in between - things you don't necessarily associate with wellness or fitness. Take quizzes at your own pace. Test answers are easy to lookup in the textbook.
Class was fairly easy if you read the text, and was very quick to answer questions.
I appreciated his enthusiasm and personable attitude
You can tell that he loves what he teaches. He is very knowledgeable about what he teaches. I would take him for any class that he teaches.
The class i took was online and I liked it a lot. Do the work that is required of you and you will get an A. Also, make sure you follow the timeline.
A really great professor and so helpful! The quizzes on each chapter are really short and easy. As long as you have the book and know how to read there is no reason you shouldn't be able to get an A.
I took PEGN210 online this semester and it was pretty easy. It was nice because the professor understands that you have other classes and it's not always easy to remember your online classes. There are only 3 things due throughout the semester, otherwise all the quizzes are due the week before the final. Pretty easy. I recommend it.
Great professor, class was easy to understand and do. I would recommend this teacher to others who need to take PEGN215.
I had professor Fedel for SPMD 201 & 202 he cares about the students more then any other Prof I've had. Both of these class are very difficult but his focus is on the students. Lots of studying and extra study sessions. But he will help in any way possible. He gave me a generous A-, I give him a A+++++++
Wonderful lecturer!!!
great professor
I just completed SPMD 201 & 202 with Frank Fedel. I am a second bachelors student, and I can honestly say that he was by far one of the BEST professors I've ever had! I learned more valuable information from him in one semester in these two classes than I ever did from any other professor. If you need to take 201/202, take it with Fedel!
Great professor! He goes above and beyond to help students if they do their part. He schedules weekly supplemental study sessions on his own time to go over material students may be having trouble with.
Great Prof.
Very in depth
Awesome teacher really understanding and helpful. Very nice and teaches in understandable terms. Tests are harder but overall teaching style is awesome!
I LOVE FRANK FEDAL!!!!! HE is one of the best professor at EMU! He is really smart. The class is really hard but he makes it easier to understand and he really cares about his students! Take him! I hope he gets a raise!
Prof. Fedel is the best instructor I have ever had. Class was a pre-req for my masters program. Cares about his students learning the material vs. spitting it back on a test. Physiology is hard so be prepared to study, but Prof. Fedel will help you if you need it.
Very kind and helpful professor. He is very interested in his students, and wants them to learn as much as they can. He is there if you ever have any concerns regarding material/grades.
Great professor! Very compassionate towards teaching his students life lessons related to the subject matter of the class. You'll leave this class satisfied, and aware of your current state of health. I strongly suggest that you take this professor!
This was an online class. PEGN 210. It was very up front. you read the chapter and take a 6 question quiz for each chapter and a final at the end of the semester. i would suggest him for any one.
Mr. Fedel was a very helpful professor. I liked that he was very understanding of things and worked with me and my complicated schedule. I would recommend him to anyone and wish I had more classes I could take with him.
I had this class online and he was a great teacher. He always responded to emails right away. THe thredded discussions weren't manditory and the quizzes were short and easy if you read the chapters. Overall enjoyable class, considering it was a requirement.
he was very nice and very helpful
The online class was interesting, topics were clearly elaborated on. Some of the questions on the quizzes were vaguely worded, so that could be frustrating, and cost points. The other assignments were interesting and more interactive.
Good course. Speaks fast, buit all lecture materials can be found in the book. Cares about students and making sure they are successful. Offers study sessions.
I loved this teacher. Very Helpful. Very quik to return emial. A real pleasure to have as a teacher.
This professor is not one to complain about, much worse are at EMU. The material itself is everything you should have learned in High School, but if you find anything interesting and have a question Professor Fedel can answer them. Take this professor for this class or another if you have the choice.
I LOVED HIM!!I took him for SPMD 201-202... he is the nicest teacher ive ever had.. and he really cares about his students and if they are learning...i would definitely recommend him if you are considering taking these courses!!!
Great Teacher! He moves swiftly through lecture but covers a great deal of material thoroghly and in unique ways to make the content memorable and interesting. Tests are pretty difficult, but he grades on a curve. Always in top of his email and answers questions ASAP!
I found him extremely hot. He is also a great professor, besides just being such good eye candy. He loves what he teaches, and I plan on taking him for many more classes.
Online course, the material was dull, the book was not necessary, but the class was more interesting than I was expecting. The instructor did as good of a job as you could do with this material.
I took this class online: It was much more interesting than I anticipated! He's a helpful teacher, both with things directly related to class and just having to do with your life.
I took PEGN 210 online in the summer semester. I enjoyed the class more than I thought that I would. Great instructor! He made the material as interesting as it can be and shows an interest in the students.
I took PEGN 210 online in the summer semester. I enjoyed the class with Great instructor who is really helpful if you have something to ask. His teaching style is more creative and interesting.
Great Teacher! Passionate about his work. Highly recommend him.
He is a great guy and most importantly he wants you to learn. You can tell that he loves what he does and it is not a paycheck. He has study sessions and is accessible when needed. LOVED THIS CLASS!!
I LOVE FRANK!!!!! he is the best teacher on the planet earth. it is a hard class but he is able to explain anything. I really admire his teaching talents--I wish I could take him for all my nursing classes. You will learn alot! and hes not boring! If you read your book, pay attention in class, and do ur extra credit, you will get an A.
Professor Fedel was very knowledgeable and accomodating
The Professor demonstrated extreme knowledge and research experience in his field and this class.
I have had Mr. Fedel for two classes so far and have enjoyed both even though they were required. He's EXTREMELY accomodating if you let him know whats going on, totally willing to work with you on anything. All around great guy and good conversation. Makes classes easy to understand and tests aren't tricky. Good grading too!
This class was required but yet I'm glad it was even though I may have messed up my 4.0 that I've kept for the year I've been with EMU I still enjoyed the class! He kept in contact when I needed it the most and answered every question I had which helped out a lot! Can't thank him enough!

This ended up being a pretty cool class. It was fun, easy, and interesting. Plus, I only had to go for a couple of days instead of every week for 16 weeks. That was excellent!
Frank Fedel was a great instructor, tons of good information, very engaging speaker. I took the class just because I needed the credit but ended up having a great time and learning alot. He was very responsive to the students, encouraged people to contribute, and was interested in what we had to say.Great instructor.
FRANK WAS AN AWESOME PROFESSOR, THE MATERIAL WAS VERY INVASIVE, BUT YOU LEARN SO MUCH THAT EVERYTHING BECOMES SECOND NATURE
Very helpfull and sincere professor. Goes out of his way to help students. Great teacher! Learing made easy!
This was one of the hardest classes I've ever taken, but also one of my favorites. Professor Fedel is extremely engaging and very knowledgeable about the subjects he is teaching. If I'm able, I would definitely take another one of his classes! As long as you read the book, don't miss class, and put in the study time, you're good!
I took him online. Prof. Fedel was a great online professor. The class was engaging while being online. He was extremely helpful and understanding via email. The class consisted of 6 pt. quizzes for each chapter, a class discussion, short project, and a final test (of quiz questions). Not a hard class but I learned a lot. Again, great guy.
Good class!
Take this class online! It was easy fun! Nice guy! You learn a lot!
He is a WONDERFUL professor, just if you don't have time to dedicate to this each day you probably shouldn't do it.
A great professor. He has a good attitude; Very helpful, flexible. He communicates well, promptly and often. Expectations are reasonable,and beneficial academically and personally. There is ample opportunity to communicate with other students in this course. I can not say enough good things. I recommend this course with this profesor, highly! A+
Professor Fedel is great. Online course was very fun and engaging. We had a new edition this semester, so some test questions were not accurate. He is very personable, and easy to talk to about the test though. This class was great!
Very organized and thorough for an online professor, understood the concepts and objectives of the class, a great online professor!
Great Class
Best teacher for a very difficult subject! very helpful and explains things VERY well.
He loves to teach - not boring ever - always wants to make sure studend succeeds. Generous with extra credit - fair with exams - love him!
This class was not too hard, the work load was manageable and you have all semester to finish the work, so you really can do it all on your pace.
Very nice professor and helpful. He encourages students to change their lives and really interacts with students. Highly recommend.
Great instructor. Makes hard easier. Very interested in students doing well, not only in class but as healthcare professionals. An asset to EMU!!!
Mr Fedel is very knowledgeable. At first I did not understand his teaching method but came to really understand the material. He gives several extra credit assignments. DO THEM! It will help you to under stand the material as it will appear of his future quizzes.
This may be the most influential class effecting the rest of your life that you take at EMU. There a many of lifes challenges discussed in the textbook and videos provided in the online PEGN class. A great teacher with good feedback on all of the assignments completed.
A great teacher! I learned a lot from his class and still remember and apply what I learned to my studies in Nursing school. No joke, he is probably one of the better teachers I've had.
The class itself is extremely difficult, but Frank uses great examples and is a very helpful teacher. Just be prepared to study a lot & pay attention.
Really helpful and diligent with answering e-mails. Great professor!
I like his style of communication.
This was an easy and fun way to get an extra credit!
Fedel reads the class composition well and focuses on information that actually makes sense to the student. His life experience also adds the reality "check" everyone should hear.
I took this class online and the professor was very helpful and timely. This class may be seen as a "nothing" class, but if you take the time to learn the material, you learn a lot of useful stuff. He is a very nice person and makes you think about the material.
i learned so much. he's very straight-forward, helpful, and energetic so even if the subject bores you he won't.
this is a great prof i would suggest taking him for any course
EXCELLENT!!!!
One of the best classes I've taken and easily the best professor I've ever had.
If you have to take health, take it online. It is really nice to be able to work at your own pace. Also, Prof. Fedel is really good about answering and responding to email's and offering help and feedback.
Very educational class. I learned a lot of things I could apply to everyday life.
Extremely enthusiastic and helpful. He will really make you learn!
One of the best professors I've ever had. If you have to take health definitely take online with him. Extremely clear in his instructions, always responds immediately to e-mails, grades fairly. Great teacher!
He was an extremely helpful teacher, very knowledgeable on subjects and was readily available for help. Responds to emials promptly and gets you to think clinically. I learned a great deal in this class and there was a lot of value in what I learned.If you think you can take this class without showing up or doing much work you will fail!
Excellent professor!!! U'll never meet a more helpful professor!!!!
Excellent teacher!!!
Frank was a great teacher to have. He makes you think, he pushes you until you want to kill him, but he makes this class worth your money
great prof. knows his stuff and expects you to do well in his class.
Surprisingly interesting course. If you are into taking care of yourself and getting good healthy advice, this course is great.
Professor Fedel is one of the best teachers at E.M.U.! This course is relatively difficult due to the material, but prof. Fedel makes it as painless as possible. He is highly recommended!
When I first went to class I thought I would just blow by SPMD 201 (Anatomy) & SPMD 202 (Physiology). The classes lasted a total of 3Hrs. Frank set up study sessions imediatly after class and provided students with extra help for 2Hrs. I have learned to UNDERSTAND not memorize this inportant info. It was tuff until I wanted to know what was next.
Fedel is a helpful, upbeat, optimist who brings out the best in his students. He forces you to look at things that you might not look at on your everyday schedule. You will look at your health from all angles of mental development, physical progress, eating habits and exercise routine. Its an all encompassing mind, body and soul nurturing experienc
Great teacher! Always ready to help the students. Very effective way of teaching. If you have to take SPMD 201 and/or 202, make every effort to be in his class, you will learn a lot and will remember what you learnt in his class for a long long time.
Despite being an online class you can gain a lot of insight through the text book, assignments, and discussions required of the professor. I gained a lot of knowledge that I'm using to adjust my life for the better. I would definitely reccommend this class and Prof. Fedel!!!
Frank has passion about teaching. He opened study section for students,and he has never give up his students who want to learn.
Very good class, easiest way to take care of gen ed credit, can complete the class as quickly or as slowly as your personal time allows.
An online teacher more responsive to students than many in-class teachers. If you don't get a good grade in this class it's YOUR fault.
This was an online class, but the prof really made it interesting & informative. He went beyond teaching out of a textbook to making it interactive & fitting for everyone's life. He was passionate about the subject & very interested in students getting to most out of the course. I would def recommend it!
I took PEGN 210 with Fedel at EMU. The class is required of all EMU students, and I highly recommend taking it online with Fedel. The quizes were easy and informative, and the course is an easy A. Unlike other professors, he actually replies to your emails in a timely matter, and really cares about his students and their progress.
I enjoyed the class and it was inresting and challenfing.
very interesting class. great teacher. you learn a lot about topics that arent normally discussed in a college course. quiz each chapter of the book but can do them whenever you want during the semester, which is nice
Frank Fedel is an amazing teacher, the quizzes are tough but he makes you think. If you ever have any questions he is more than happy to help you understand everything possible. His class is wonderful. Also, attendance is not mandatory but missing one class will set you far behind.
Frank Fedel is a wonderful teacher, he makes the class challenging but it is well worth it. Although attendance is not mandatory, missing one class will put you far behind. He is always willing to help and is very interested in what he teaches.
This professor actually cares about his students and this method of teaching is definitely effective. He is very helpful in e
This professor actually cares about his students and this method of teaching is definitely effective. He is very helpful in every aspect
this class was awesome! by far one of the best professors i have had. He has such a huge passion for Health and Wellness... Very good teacher and worth every cent!
This class is as interesting as you want to make it. Frank is more than willing to help you, but you need to put effort into the class yourself for success
He is extremely talented - motivated beyond belief to having students UNDERSTAND the concepts not memorize anything since the body changes constantly. He was very helpful and always willing to be of any service a student deemed necessary. His friendly attitude was an added bonus - He was not demanding only persistent.I enjoyed his teaching style!
I took this class online and was surprised at how self-paced it was. You can go how ever fast or slow you needed too. He only wants to his students succeed and will help you achieve that however possible. If you have to take this class, take it online with him!
really into what he does- strange that he requested that students nominate him for lecturer of the year award in an online course??
He is great.
This instructor was very helpful and had a strong desire for his students success. I would have done better in the class myself if i had had less stress in my professional life.
Very helpful. Lectures were very interesting and interactive. Lot's of opportunity to learn and to get a good grade.
I would have to say when I started this class I just wanted out to get through it. This class will really help you in the future for your life and health goals one of EMU best Professor for Health cares about the work and students Great Professor!!
Class was easy and fun...I learned a lot and I would recommend him to anyone.
The Professor is an expert in his field. He exemplifies the university's outstanding educators that make learning fun, informative and practical in real life terms. I enjoyed Mr. Fedel's class so much that I have taken 3 of his classes and I will take more of his classes in the future. Sincerely, Robert K. Fuller Sr Physical Education Teacher Dbr
Great professor. Very clear and easy to get along with. Overall very helpful with difficulties in and out of the classroom. Extremely prompt on e-mails.
The professor was extremely helpful during the semester. His responses were quick, prompt and helpful in the most honest constructive way. I would recommend professor Fedel to anybody who's planning on taking this class online but, watch out to prepare in time all the assignments and don't forget to do an extra credit project.
Take this class online! So easy! Buy the book! Quizzes and Final are similar. Work on your projects early and write a lot on your discussion project. Easy A if you buy the book.
Great prof. who cares about his students and subject.
This is a great class even if your bummed about taking it you will learn a lot.
Such a great class and professor! I would definitely take again. The quizes and final are simlialr and quizes can be done at your own pace which is EXTREMELY convenient. He was very helpful with a technical problem, patient and understanding. Wish more professors were like him!
Excellent professor, very effective communicator.
I wouldn't have taken this class if it didn't cover two requirements for my degree. Very easy but most of the material was either common sense or things you pick up in doctor's office fliers and middle/high school health classes. Thank you EMU for giving me the opportunity to waste more of my money.
An excellent, flexible teacher who is really interested in your self-development. Highly recommended.
Took his course online.
Professor Fedel's course was quite a worthwhile investment of time. The course provides a very broad spectrum of Health and Wellness topics that are beneficial to all students young and not so young. Professor Fedel has the course structured well and aimed at your success. He has the lecture and assignment materials well defined. Good Course.
Decent professor but the material is mostly common sense stuff that most people learn in high school - I only took it because it's a graduation requirement. How interesting that any review on here that doesn't heavily praise the class and instructor is flagged for review and eventually deleted. Hmmm...
Great professor!!!
Professor Fedel is a great professor! He's truly passionate about the material he teaches and cares about his students. Plus, he's very effective with instructing various types of learners.
Amazing Professor!!! He is the most dedicated, and helpful teacher I have had at Eastern, material is hard, but if you dedicate the time, you can succeed!
This professor did an exceptional job with the class. You will come out of it knowing substantially more than when you went in. I does require lots of effort on your part and will require a considerable amount of studying to do well. But, he knows his stuff and really seems to care about you learning it.
Anatomy is hard a class, but Fedel makes it easier. Helpful to attend all lectures. I did not use the textbook. If you stay up to date with the class, it is easier. Each class there is a quiz, so it makes you study. Does require lots of study time, but Fedel is truly the best prof I have ever had. Highly recommend class and take it wil SMPD 202
Fedel is an amazing teacher with a passion for what he teaches. Subject matter very difficult, but he is willing to help any student who wants it. Didn't use textbook, and the CD packet wasn't that useful. Need Lab CD for homework assignments. YOu'll work hard, but an A is possible, because Fedel really cares and his teaching style is amazing.
Fedel is an absolutely amazing Professor. Very helpful. He provides students with all means necessary to get a good grade in the class, it's up to the students to do the work. Some concepts are not easy, but Fedel makes sure EVERYONE understands. Fantastic.
Physiology is a tough class, but Fedel helps a lot. I can't imagine taking this class with anyone else. He really cares about students doing well AND he has a sense of humor. You will need the CD to do some assignments and I used the book A LOT, but that depends on learning style. Best Prof I've ever had, hands down.
Prior to taking the course PEGN 210, I felt that it would not be beneficial and was yet another course which the university continues to make profit from. It is not untill I met Professor Fedel and listened to what he had to say that I realized this was one of the most important classes I have ever taken at EMU. This course and professor is great.
they don;t get any better than this professor. If you have to take anatomy than you must have him. He will be there for you for every step of the way if you are equally as committed.
if you have to take physiology take this professor.... you will learn the material...not just memorize it like the rest of the world. He is the best professor I have had in the history of my college education and I am on my second degree!
Tough course but Professor Fedel is committed to helping a student succeed if the student is committed to putting in the effort. Never miss class! You'll never get out early and his tests are pretty hard. Lecture is available on video and podcast and I suggest reviewing it regularly.
Hard class. Print the notes prior to lecture, write everything he says additional down. Listen to the podcasts, watch the Panapto videos, never miss class. Prof. Fedel is committed to helping the student succeed when the student is committed to learning. Awesome professor.
Best professor I've had in my entire 4 years at EMU by a landslide. The class is VERY tough, and a LOT of material, but no one could get you through it like Fedel. He is extremely helpful, and it is clear how much he loves his job.
The class moves at a fast pace however professor Fedel does a great job in making sure the majority of the class understands the concept before moving on. He also provides a lot of material to help you.
The class is very hard however with professor Fedel you actually LEARN. You are not going to just simply memorize the material. He relates everything to a clinical aspect and it all makes much more sense. He is a GREAT professor.
This class is pretty tough but incredibly helpful. I would recommend taking SPMD 201 and 202 concurrently if you have to take both. It really should be just one class.
Mr.Fedel is one of the best professors at EMU. He covers hard material, and he makes it look so simple. He also is always trying to help. Its not often a professor is this cooperative.
Fedel is the best professor hands down! I'm working towards my second degree and have taken classes at three different universities. Fedel is truly DEDICATED to his students and is PASSIONATE about what he teaches. The class is difficult, but Fedel has great techniques with helping to learn the material! You will truly learn material and carry i
Great professor. He really cares about his students and their success.
This class was wonderful! Be prepared to spend a good two hours studying outside of lecture per class. Well worth the investment...
Overall Frank Fedel is a great anatomy & physiology teacher!
Frank Fedel is a great teacher that is passionate about his students learning!
He is one of the best profesors I've ever had.
Took SPMD 201 and 202 and he was GREAT for both. I actually learned all the material instead of memorizing or cramming for a test. He is extremely helpful and truly dedicated to making his students learn the material. I loved this teacher! The best I had ever had!
Very patiant
Best professor I have ever taken, hands down. This class lays down the basis for practically everything you'll need to learn in the nursing program, and Prof. Fedel makes sure you KNOW it. If you show interest in your grade, he will mirror that interest. TAKE THIS CLASS! You'll regret not taking it with him!!!
Frank Fedel is awesome. He puts in a lot of material. He's not easy because you DO actually need to learn, but he is so enthusiastic you really get into the material. Definitely about the best teacher I"ve had at EMU. It's a crime they haven't given this guy more to teach. (I had him for A&P and it was great)
Professor Fedel is an absolutely amazing professor. He knows his material and does absolutely everything to help you in class and out of class through supplemental study sessions and email. He gives you any resource you could ever imagine to help you learn and he is a very funny guy. Class isn't a breeze but he'll do anything to help.
f-fedel is my favorite professor at EMU. There is a lot of material but he doesn't make it seem overwhelming. He teaches you what you really need to know for your future career and is very organized. I would 100% recommend him for anyone taking Anatomy and Physiology. Take them together, it isn't too much work. One of the nicest professors :)
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TEACHER!!!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TEACHER!!!..if you have the option of taking it with him do it. I would never take this class with anyone else. If you want to succeed to the best of your abilities, he is very helpful.
Frank Fedel was the best teacher I have ever had. Very smart and helpful, always very organized. Really cares about how you are doing in the class and offers extra credit for each exam! :) Take it with anatomy if you have to take them both -- it is more beneficial. Learned a lot and thought he was overall a great guy!
Best teacher I have ever had. He goes way above and beyond anything he is required to do. He is so good at explaining things so you really GET it. If you email him, you will get a response to the question and then some! He takes so much time to make sure his students get help if they need it. I wish he could teach ALL my classes!!!
Great class, great professor. Every thing is explained clearly and Prof. Fedel is really committed to the learning of his students. One of the best teachers I've ever had hands down.
Professor Fedel is dedicated to his students and his job! The class is difficult; however, professor Fedel is able to explain concepts in various ways for everyone to learn. This class uses cutting-edge technology to benefit the student. Best professor ever! If you don't learn anything from this class, then it's your fault. Don't delay studying.
Frank the Tank Rocks!!! He's a great professor and EXTREMELY knowledgeable! Frank Fedel or bust!
professor fedel was the best professor i've ever had.
Goes beyond expectations when it comes to helping students. Be sure to read over power points before tests. Do all of the extra credit you can. It will help!
Very understanding and extremely helpful. Do all extra credit possible, and try to make each class! With all the technology, the book isn't worth the money.
Do not miss class any class, do all the extra credit, review the lectures online, get into a study group. Plan on this course being your life for a semester... but it will PAY OFF in the end. I learned more from this one class than I did in my entire undergrad at EMU.
This has been the best class I have ever taken. He cares about his students and works hard to ensure that if someone has the desire to learn they will. If you are going to take this class be prepared to work, but it pays off in the end. Best professor that I have had.
Great class! Very tough at times but overall a good class if you want to learn. The technologies were helpful and he was always available.
Professor Fedel is one of the greatest teachers I've ever had. He goes to great lengths to make sure you get everything out of class. His use of technology in his method of teaching allows you to have an opportunity to understand the material more clearly. This class moves along quickly, but if you have the desire to do well, it will be rewarding.
You will never have a professor that cares more about your success as a student. You have to earn your grade but you have absolutely no reason not to succeed, professor Fedel puts everything you need right at your fingertips.
Great teacher, know slides in and out, if you do not understand somthing from slides read the book or rewatch lecture and take notes. pay attention to diagrams, and you should be fine, he is very helpful and understanding. he is very involved with the students, which is good, never had a prof like that, hes the best
Frank Fedel is a wonderful teacher! I'll always remember what I learned during his class, especially his description of body mechanics.
