He reads straight from the power points and doesn't actually teach, offers extra credit for completing the lecture objectives (4 pts) each. Be prepared to study & learn on your own. Tests aren't easy, Toward the end things were mashed together, we were starting the lecture of next unit before taking the exam from the prior unit. NO office hours!

Anatomy and physiology is a hard class and the teacher was able to breakdown material to where I was able to understand. Most students think this is an easy course of a&p, but you have to put in the work. Although teacher may seem challenging, he is encouraging and wants his students to succeed.

He will read directly from the textbook provided PowerPoint the entire class- all 6.5 hrs a week. I could do that at home- but wait, if you leave his class early youre marked as absent. This is a night class so listening to his monotone voice after working a nine hour day is torture. Its only week 6 and majority of us want out.

Great Instructor. Lectures are detailed and elaborates further explaining in more detail for us to grasp the information. I happen to like his lectures, but most students taking the course havent gotten a clue of whats going on. Questions he asks usually go unanswered which dictates how much we cover in class.

After graduating nursing school, never realized why he kept on telling me to work hard. Nursing school doesnt care for easy grades and if it was not for this teacher, I would not have been prepared for nursing. No joke, hardest thing you will ever do. This teacher knows whats needed and expected. All these people trashing, probably flunked!

I dont understand how somebody in their right mind gets upset with other opinions. Im sorry you had such a bad experience but maybe if you emailed him, read his announcement or gone on your email. Do actual adult things. There is such thing as a syllabus that clearly states the class. That was all provided in class and he responded fast.

This teacher was tough but no tougher than my other science professors. Anatomy and physiology is a hard class and I am sure this is a class that separates the students from the cans and the cannots. Be sure to dedicate most to this class and contact the professor on your exams for improvement. He wont add assignments to help your grade.

Really tough class and its a LOT of information. Professor Kuzel is a nurse and loves what he does, so he makes a lot of nursing references. It can be really confusing, but he does care about your grade and you personally. Dont think this is a blow off class, but you can pass if you try. Definitely use quizlet/ flash cards, &study the objectives!

He was very rough on grading, gave an unmanagable amount of work, and was nearly impossible to reach outside of class. If you never want ANY free time, take this course.

Took him both for 180 and 181 8-week courses, definitely a hard class as is and fast-paced. Consisted of lab and lecture exams every other week, however, 180 was harder because I did not study efficiently little to no extra credit and there were discussions due every week. I would take his class again because it was quick and thorough

I Took him both 180 and 181 8-week courses, I think 181 was easier once you learn a study method that works for you and doesn't take too much time. I would recommend an 8-week course because of how fast everything is done but you have less time on the material, he is a good professor and cares about your success!

Would never take this professor again. He reads the slides off to you and then makes medical references expecting you to know what he is talking about. Yells at students about his workload compared to theirs. Study guides/lecture objectives are overall based, while tests are based on small details of the unit. Cool guy, but not good professor.

He made this class more difficult than it should have been. If you're planning on going into nursing, take him. If you're planning on going into any other health profession, I would avoid him.

Great professor that will explain the importance of taking anatomy and physiology for pharm, pathophys, and more. He really prepares you to go out and research information and understands the value. It is not easy but I don't know of any AP course that is. Please understand that he is an understanding professor willing to help you.

Would definitely recommend take his class. All he did was read off the PowerPoint slides. I did not learn much of anything. I had to teach myself because he rushed through each chapter. If you want to waste your money take him. He was Never available outside of class. Showed favoritism to other students.
