Dr. Kasparian's lectures and directions leave a lot to be desired. The tests are straightforward enough, but he often tells you certain things won't be covered on the test and then they are. Lectures consist primarily of textbook images on the overhead.

The lecture notes were only functional as a coffee coaster to study for the exams.He's a good lecturer but an evil twin, which he's never met, must write his test questions.Has a flair for minutiae and its covert applications.I dropped and glad I did.

Bad teacher - arrogant, speaks over everyone's head, disorganized and late to almost every class. Inconsistant tests. Took joy in telling us that we NEEDED to know something for an exam and then the topic wouldn't be on the test. I can't believe he continues to get away with teaching this class.

Mr. K is genius. Most people wine like babes because the class material is so hard. His lectures usually only cover the essay part of the test. Most people never catch this. His test questions come from the test banks on the web site provided with the book. You must go to the tutor labs and spend the time to memorize the material. I earned my A's

One of the most knowledgeable instructors I have ever had. Does not wait for anyone. Expects you to be responsible for your own learning, but always there if I needed help.

he knows what he's teaching, but he expects students to know the material before the class. he won't explain much so he always ends the class early.

I thought he was great. He was very easy to understand and he had great powerpoints that were very easy to follow. He did however skim through some of the screens fairly quickly, so you should write down the main points and when you are home read ovre the texbook again and add your own notes. Overall, I am very glad I took his class!

This class in general is hard. He knows what he is talking about and I respect that, but he is not good at teaching the information. Lectures are boring, long and confusing. You have to do your notes on your own and teach yourself.

Kasparian has a sweet soul but don't take his class... All he does is read off the powerpoints which is a waste of time. He reads what's there and doesn't go into depth. From day one I've been lost in that class.

He is a very sweet professor, but if you truly want to learn anatomy and physiology take another professor because he will not explain concepts well to you, but curves grades in a lot of things. This class was basically a self taught class and there is a 20 page paper (that will most likely get full credit) to do due at the end of the semester.

Reads off power-points doesn't go into depth. It's the end of the semester and has yet to update grades. Doesn't respond to emails, takes two weeks or more to get back to you. Most of the time you don't get a reply.

Yes you have to read because he only reads the PowerPoints but he is a super nice and understating intellectual individual. Especially if you have a disability. For instance I am blind in my left eye so if you go to him for assistance he will help at all cost. I recommend Mr. Kasparian

If you want to pass read the Powerpoints where he gives everything, I took online class, exams are open book, the only one that is timed is the lab but with the PowerPoints the lab will be fine ( online classes)

Sweet but he does NOT teach well at all! He has been one of the most hardest professors i've taken. His lectures are not in depth at all and he expects you to know biology before coming into this class. You are basically teaching yourself in this class. He curves the test by a lot of points just so it doesnt look bad on him. STAY AWAY if possible.

Relatively easy online class for a&p , read the PowerPoints on my own and the mastering assignments helped and if not everything was easy to look up to understand. I just wouldnt suggest taking if youre not comfortable with a pretty hands-off science course. Final paper was given very generous extra credit for would definitely take again!

He reads off the powerpoints and does not teach very well, the test do not completely match up the power points which makes it difficult. He is very kind and you can tell he knows what he is talking about, but if you are not willing to read the text book yourself and want to rely on the lectures, he is not the teacher for you.

There is a lot of homework so if he says it'll take 40 mins for one section, it'll take about an hour or so to do it. He has 10, 10 question quizzes but pretty easy to get through. Tests are 4 lecture exams and 5 lab exams, no respondus, which was less stressful. He has 1 paper on diseases. Very responsive in the emails. at your own pace

Prepare to teach yourself with the PowerPoint/ and or textbook provided because all test material comes straight from there and he goes on tangents when lecturing. The final was not cumulative! You have to write 3 easy, but very time-consuming papers and u have HW with fair deadlines. He is extremely generous when it comes to grading!!

This professor is phenomenal! I wish I had him for Anatomy I. Pearson homework is manageable, labs are built into diagrams/multiple choice, and exams/quizzes don't need a webcam, which makes things less stressful. Assignments are open from start date, and exams are on set days unless arranged otherwise.

I LOVE THIS PROFESSOR. In lecture, when he talks about the chapters, it's so amazing to hear him go in depth and it makes things more interesting because he knows this subject truly inside and out. He is also funny lol He truly wants his students to succeed and he is veryyyy kind.

Kasparian is an alright professor. The course is built around a Pearson textbook, so he's mostly just presenting those slides in class; though, he skips a lot of slides so you absolutely have to study for a better understanding of the material. There's 3 essays he'll have you do, but they're short with a 2-3 page maximum, and he accepts late work.
