If you have to take anatomy please take this professor! He is hilarious, gives great lectures, and makes the whole anatomical form really easy to understand. You absolutely do need the textbook for homework. The homework is time consuming, but also a great study tool if you base your flash cards off of it. Awesome guy, and knows his stuff.

Dr. Kines is absolutely amazing. He sets up his class (well at least anatomy 2) in a way that you learn at home through recorded lectures. Attendance was not mandatory but going to his classes help immensely. His class is set up in a flexible and efficient way. He is hilarious and made learning about the body fun. He also gives extra credit!

I've learned the most I've ever learned while taking Dr. Kines course. He gives A LOT of extra credit! He honestly id just trying to see everyone succeed. The only way you will fail his class if you don't do the work.

I can not say enough good things about professor Kines. He is so funny and keeps you engaged, He doesn't give you a bunch of pointless assignments like other professors, and he teaches so you remember the material. He gives ALOT of extra credit opportunities so take advantage of them. Hands down, BEST professor I've ever had!

Dr. Kines is the kind of guy you wanna get a beer with. An incredibly engaging and personable professor who attempts to reach everyone on their level. This is not an easy class you need to study and watch the lectures. If you do so it is almost impossible to not do well in this class. Take advantage of the extra credit. Doesn't get better than him!

Dr. Kines was a great professor. I took him for both A&P 1 and 2, and I'm glad I did. He made lectures entertaining and interesting, keeping info applicable to the medical world and not adding unnecessary fluff. He gave us all the info we needed to succeed, and lots of EC opportunities. Pay attention and take good notes and you'll pass easily.

I like his lectures, but be ready to think outside of the box when it comes to exams. Half of what you may think is on the exam will only have like 2 Q'S. LOCK DOWN ON STUDYING. At first I thought he was funny but he quickly became rude/snotty to my peers around me. He is a good teacher but needs to let his ego stop taking control of the classroom

This is one of the best prof i've ever had at FSCJ. He offers SO much extra credit and he doesnt give you a bunch of busy work. Hes straight to the point and the test are easy if you study the material which he literally tells you whats on the test! For the last test he allowed us to bring in a post it note with info on it to help us pass. 10/10

Professor Kines is an engaging and helpful instructor. The class is manageable with his guidance, and he provides plenty of extra credit opportunities to succeed. Using resources like unstuckstudy alongside the lectures has been super helpful for me.

Genuinely the best educator I've ever had, really helps his students succeed and makes hard information digestible. Offers extra credit and an optional exam to help repair any low grades. He can be a little inappropriate at times but you get used to it lol. He's got a big personality, boot strap mentality, but an excellent teacher.

Dr. Doug Kines is an amazing professor! I took AP1 and AP2 and I got A's. He gives alot of extra credit that can boost ur grade! All you have to do is study for the exams and they are pretty straightforward. I advise to go to every class because he goes over and gives alot of information.

I've already earned one degree at UNF and I'm going back to school for nursing. I will say this has been one of my favorite professors of all time. He really does make the class really fun and he tries to engage us as much as he can. No study guides. Watch the lectures and pay attention in class you'll pass.

Best professor ever! He cares about his students, and his lectures are not mandatory but HIGHLY recommended as information on exams he reviews in lecture. We had in person and online lectures. He gave multiple chances for extra credit along with offering an optional final to replace lowest exam score if needed. TAKE THIS CLASS!
