Veselovsky obviously knew something about medicine at one time, but that time was the late 1970's and he hasn't picked up a book since. A decent teacher and fairly demanding, but gives away medical advice that hasn't been correct for at least 20 years.

Frank was an excellent Professor. I took A&P 1 and 2 concurrently from him. Anyone who knows what those classes are knows how difficult that was. His teaching style and the course materials he prepared allowed me not only to learn the material, but also to remember it throughout my graduate school program. Not an easy A, but a great Teacher.

P. Frank's class was one of the hardest I have ever taken. Your grade depended solely on the 6 exams and the lowest grade was dropped. You have to print his 200+ page Survival Guide and use that to study. His lectures were also not that helpful in studying for the tests. He is very knowledgeable but he really makes you work for your grade!

P. Frank's A&P II class was one of the hardest classes I have ever taken. His lectures weren't really helpful, the most important thing is his 200+ pg Survival Guide. Your grade relies solely on your 6 exam grades (5 since he drops your lowest). He is definitely knowledgeable but be prepared to work hard and learn this subject mostly on your own .

I ended up dropping my a and p class because of how frustrating it was for me. His lectures are almost pointless and if your learning style clashes with his, as around 10 people in my class that I spoke to did, you will not pass. I could not understand a thing and worked extremely hard to try and teach myself. Not good for visual learners.

I had an alright time in Veselovsky's class. His study guides are real gems. As long as you know the material in them, you will pass the class. Lectures are essential moments of clarification, as you are expected to fully learn the material outside of class. Attendance is mandatory if you want to pass the class.

Frank is kind of a legend. This was the hardest class I've ever taken. But Frank gives you his "tool kit" which is basically the text book condensed into crucial notes. He gives exams based on those notes. So it you study hard and focus on those objectives, you will pass. Frank is NO BS. He knows his stuff, but this class is hard. Good luck.

I took A+P 1 and 2 with Frank in 2019. Tbh I don't agree with many of the low scoring reviews. Frank does an excellent job breaking difficult concepts down into easily digestible information both in class and in his survival guide. Engage with him, make eye contact, ask questions, attend every class, and he will make sure you pass.

This guy is awesome. I took A&P back in 2002 with Frank. Had no idea he was still teaching. I found his separate packet is absolutely essential. My daughter is now a sophomore in high school studying A&P. I instantly thought of Frank's packet as a study guide for her. Going to have to make a trip and see if the packet is still available.
