Very great professor. Makes class enjoyable and explains everything thoroughly. If you have to take Anatomy, take it with him!
very helpful professor. Willing to extend help in every way need. I would recommend him for both lab and lecture.
He post all of the powerpoint lectures online for you to print out and add to for notes which is very helpful for studying. He also post you tube vidoes for lab that you can watch as many times as you need until you know the material. Without those I probable wouldn't have gotten a good grade. Regardless this is a tough course and take studying!
Dr. Mendel is always willing to help to improve your grade no matter what! I would highly recommend taking him if you want to do good in Anatomy! He is always there for you and wants you to do good in his class! He goes above and beyond with the material to help you study for tests and always prepares us for texts!
He makes YouTube videos for all of the models that you need to know for the practicals. He wants everyone to get a good grade in the class so he is willing to help you all the time. I would take him again for the other anatomy class.
Best anatomy professor at USI. I recommend Dr. Mendel to anyone! He makes things easy for you to understand.
He was very easy going. Likes to help out whenever you need it. Makes videos of models to help you study. Also he will give you back points on a test if you come close to right answer or if most people missed. That helps a lot. I enjoyed the class and would definitely take it with him again.
Loved how he posted youtube videos to help us study.
Awesome professor who cares about you and your grade. Does everything he can to help you out. Also the only professor that provides youtube videos to watch for the lab. Take him if you can!
He is a great professor, he is always there to help you when you need it and he really cares about your grade. He gave students the chance to drop the class at the end of the semester if they were not passing.
Dr. Mendel is a great professor. He cares about your grade, and is there to help you get the grade you want.
He will do everything in his power to make sure you are graded fairly. When the internet and blackboard and everything else came crashing down he found alternative ways to give us the points we earned.
I absolutely loved having Mendel for lab! I think he does a great job at teaching and uses a lot of visuals to help you learn unlike most lab teachers that just throw you into the work on your own and expect you to teach yourself. He makes great videos going over all the lab material you need to know for each practical and they help A LOT!
He records all the lectures and puts them on Blackboard for you which is very helpful. He isn't that great at emailing back so if you have a question, you're bettering off staying after class. His tests aren't impossible but you have to study and put the time into it to make a good grade.
Taking Dr. Mendel plus studying a moderate amount is your recipe for passing A&P! If you go to class every day, he gives little hints about what is going to be on each upcoming test and when potential pop quizzes will be. Be observant, he follows a specific pattern in how he runs this course and he truly wants his students to pass.
I really enjoyed Dr. Mendel's class, I highly recommend him. He really cares about every student and makes anatomy as painless as possible.
He is a great professor. I would suggest him to anyone. He genuinely cares about his students and wants to see them all succeed. That being said, it is still anatomy and the class is difficult. You have to put in the effort to do well in the class. Study hard and show up to class, and you'll be fine!
Hes a good professor that is very fair in grading and willing to help if you ask. Gives you every opportunity to succeed.
You have to put in the effort to get an A in this class
Extremely helpful, nice, and smart. Knows what hes talking about and will take extra time to go over things if someone doesn't understand. I would highly recommend taking him.
He is really good professor that actually cares about your success. Although the class will be tough he tries his best to make sure you understand it. By the end of the semester if you work hard you will actually feel like you were taught anatomy versus just skimming over slides then taking a test.
Wonderful professor! Just difficult for me as a student to grasp the lecture portion. Works well with you if you need it.
If you have to take this class for credit for your major, I would recommend Dr. Mendel. He helpful if you have any questions. He wants you to succeed and is good at giving examples to help you remember all the information. He goes slow enough to understand. You need the book, and always print off notes to help when taking notes. use videos as well
Dr. Mendel made it clear that he wanted his students to succeed, although nothing was freely given to us. He never seemed to hesitate at taking the extra steps to guarantee that the effort we put into the class meant the ultimate outcome of our grade. I would highly recommend him, especially to students who may be hesitant from taking this class.
Dr. Mendel is an incredible professor! He will work with you if you need it and makes sure you understand all of the material. He truly cares about his students' success and will do everything he can to make sure you succeed. I definitely recommend taking him if you have to take Anatomy. He is a really good professor.
Dr. Mendel was an incredible professor. He did everything he could to help the students prepare for lecture tests and lab practicals. I highly recommend taking him if you've got the chance.
Professor Mendel loves Anatomy & what he does. He is always willing to help. I ended up having to drop the class because of family problems, & he was really understanding & signed my slip after the drop period. He's really easy going & knows what he is talking about. As long as you attend class, he makes it easy. Would definitely recommend him.
Great professor. There for you and really cares about his student. Would recommend to everyone
great professor, really cares about his students and is as helpful as possible. Anatomy is hard, but he posts online lectures and videos of lab models that are super helpful so make sure you have him for lab! Definitely don't skip class and study the notes
TAKE HIM IF YOU HAVE ANATOMY!! He is such a great professor. He knows the material like the back of his hand. He gives jokes and stories and little riddles or sayings to help remember things. He respects students and is highly respected himself. He will do anything to help a student. He is a terrific professor and a great human being.
Dr. Mendel made me love anatomy. I was very scared because I heard so many horror stories about anatomy, but he was an AWESOME teacher. He gives so many study resources that helped me tremendously. Anatomy itself is a hard subject, however I definitely believe he makes it as easy as possible!
He's a great teacher! If you are struggling in the beginning he will help you with study tips and things you could work on! My test grades went to low c's to high A's just by meeting with him! I definitely would recommend him!
I absolutely loved having Dr. Mendel as my anatomy professor. He knows what he is talking about and cares about his students! He helped me on multiple occasions outside of class. He records all of his lectures, makes videos for lab, and so much more. I had an A all throughout anatomy. I highly recommend him!
This biology professor is deffinetly your best choice. He truly cares about your grade and does everything he can to make sure you pass.
He is a great professor that gives you every chance there is to get a good grade! Each time you take a test he will go over it with the class and if you feel you should have gotten it right he asks that you express your concern with him. If he finds your argument worthy he'll give you the points back. I've raised my grade many times by doing this!!
By far the best anatomy professor you can take. He truly cares about you doing well in the class. You can tell he is passionate about his job and wants his students to do well. He jokes around in class as well making it feel a lot less uptight and nerve wracking. Couldn't have passed anatomy if I wouldn't have taken him. Wonderful teacher.
Absolutely amazing professor! Lectures are packed full of information but very interesting and enjoyable. He does an excellent job in lab and will personally help you until you understand what he is teaching. Dr. Mendel is very approachable and gentle with all his students. I am beyond excited to take another class with him next semester!
Really caring professor. Wants everyone to do well in his class. The material is difficult, and he understands that. Some days we would get little motivational pep talks to help us though the semester. Teaches off of slides and does timed rotations during practicals.
Dr. Mendel is a great professor. He is really good at explaining the material and really cares about each of his students. He goes over each test during class and tries his hardest to make sure you understand why you missed the questions you did. I totally recommend him!
Dr. Mendel was very thorough in lecture and covered the material clearly. He went above and beyond by making videos of the skeleton, muscles, and other testable material so it could be easily reviewed! He was also available during office hours and you could easily make appointments for additional help. I highly recommend!!
BEST PROFESSOR EVER!!!!! Loved having him. So caring and genuine about his students, wants you to do well.
Excellent professor, goes above and beyond for his students including helping us in other classes. Records his lectures, and videotapes lab materials. Does everything he can to insure we learn the material. Incredible teacher and person, Greatly recommend him to anyone, you have to work for an A but thats how you learn and retain information.
He is the BEST professor to take regarding BIO 122. He wants his students to be prepared for the future (i.e. National Boards). Even though the material can be overwhelming at times, he makes it very easy to comprehend. He records lab models (huge help), lectures, and provides extra study material for those who need it. He's outstanding! TAKE HIM.
Arguably the best professor at this university! He is caring about his students and always willing to help you understand. I would love to be able to take him for more classes. The youtube videos and lectures are SO helpful to study for exams which many professors do not do. Do yourself a favor and take him if you have the chance.
Dr. Mendel is very enthusiastic about the subject. He is very accessible and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure his student succeed. You do have to go to class and pay attention in order to succeed.
I had the pleasure of having Dr. Mendel for my Bio 122 Lab. He is an amazing teacher you guys. He really does care about you and your grade. He is always excited to teach, learn, and willing to help with anything you need. He is the only instructor who has his own youtube channel - so that's pretty awesome! The videos WILL help you pass the class
Dr. Mendel is an amazing teacher. I really really enjoyed having him as my lab instructor this semester because he really does care about you and your grade. His youtube channel, in addition to his teaching, is the reason i passed this class. It is literally everything you need for the practicals. TAKE HIM BECAUSE HE IS THE BEST BY FAR I PROMISE
Loved Dr. Mendel! He does give 5 question quizzes before each lab, just look over last week lab and you will be fine. He is one of the best professors that Ive had. He shows that he cares for his students and wants them to succeed. He posts PowerPoints, videos, and extra learning material to help his students out. Definitely would take him again.
Dr. Mendel is very respectful and understanding of his students. He makes sure his students have all the resources needed or wanted to be informed on the material. He often gives additional information to help his students. He's also very clear on the material he gives. If you are seeking to do well, I would strongly advise taking Dr. Mendel.
He explains the material to where it is understandable
I can't say enough good things about Dr. Mendel. He is always willing to go the extra mile so that his students understand the material. Not only does Mendel make videos over all of the models for students to learn outside of class, but he also goes over every question on our practical with us so that we see what we did wrong. Highly recommend!
I would take Dr. Mendel again if I had the chance for lab. He is willing to go the extra mile if it will benefit the student. He post youtube videos of all the models which EXTREMELY helpful.

He is a super good prof. that makes things understandable and relatable! I would definitely recommend him for A&P lab!
Dr. Mendel is a great Anatomy Lab professor. He genuinely cares about his students and their grades. He is constantly updating and posting videos of him explaining the models that will eventually be on the exams. He does keep you for the full 2 hours and 50 minutes, but he only does that for your benefit. It's not easy, but he makes it fun.
Greg Mendel truly cares about his students. He is more than willing to help. If you have questions, make sure you ask! This can be a difficult course. Gives you good techniques to learn the material. Highly recommend him!!

Dr. Mendel is a really great professor. You will definitely learn in his class. He goes above and beyond to thoroughly explain the content that will help you in both lab and lecture. He talks quite a bit in lab, but you get a lot out of it. I would definitely recommend him as long as you are willing to put in effort.
He is one the the best teachers I've ever had hands down. I only had him for lab and he makes sure everyone understands what they are doing before we leave. He truly does care about his students. Highly recommend.
Anatomy and physiology is not going to be easy, no matter what professor you take, but Mendel does a great job explaining things. I had Mendel for lab, but he will work with you out of class if you need it. His grading is in your best interest. He really cares about his students and wants them to succeed.
Explained the material in good detail. Easy to talk to and is always willing to answer any questions. He provides youtube videos he has made over the lab materials which are very helpful for studying.
Obviously A and P is not easy but Dr Mendel does the absolute best job at helping you understand and learn. He really cares about his students and wants them to succeed. I would highly recommend him if you're taking this class
Dr. Mendel really cares about his students success. He makes youtube videos of all the models so that we can have those to study from. He grades fairly and wants the best. It isn't an easy class, but he does the best he can to make it better.
I highly recommend Dr. Mendel. He really wants his students to learn the material and is very fair when it comes to grading. Also, has really good study options, like very detailed youtube videos and helpful power point slides. The class in general is a lot of material, like any anatomy and physiology class, but he is always willing to help!
The videos he uploads on YouTube are extremely helpful for the lab practicals. This course does require a lot of studying, but if you do study, then you can definitely get an A. Mendel is always willing to help if you are confused or need extra lab time.
Dr. Mendel was an amazing teacher who helped make lab more interesting and easier to learn. He had many ways to help us remember the material and he also cared about us learning. I would definitely recommend taking his class.
Awesome professor! He cares a lot about his students passing with great grades so he will do anything he can to help the student pass. He also gives really good advice on how to study for his exams. Highly recommend taking him for any anatomy class!
Mendel was a thorough instructor but lectured too much for my liking as a lab instructor.
Great professor. He keeps class interesting and is super knowledgeable and approachable.
Doctor Mendel is by far the best lab instructor I have ever had. Even though Anatomy is tough in general, he makes it easier to understand by explaining the concepts and providing catch phrases to remember. He is also the only professor that provides YouTube videos, which are extremely helpful! I would definitely recommend for lab!
Dr. Mendel is one of the best A&P instructors out there. He gives you access to videos of each model that he made himself, quizzes you before every class, and really prepares you for the midterm and final. I would 100% reccomend.
Dr. Mendel is a wonderful professor. He gave great explanations in lab and seemed genuine and cared for his student--he wants them all to pass!
Take Dr. Mendel whenever you have the option to! He is a great professor and shows that he really does care for his students and wants them to pass. Dr. Mendel is also the only one that makes YouTube videos to help his students study the models outside of lab which was very helpful!
Take Dr. Mendel whenever you have the option to! He is a great professor and shows that he really does care for his students and will help in whatever way he can to help them pass whether that be staying longer in labs or making YouTube videos on the models. He also goes over the practicals so you can actually understand what you get wrong!
He really makes sure you understand and he wants every individual to do well in the class.
Every time he gives a lecture, he tells some personal stories to make them more interesting. Showing up to class is mandatory.
Dr. Mendel is a professor who is wiling to help students. He will try his best to give you as many things as he can for you to study. He wants everyone to do well and he tries his best to help students pass. He is very nice and I would definitely recommend him or take one f his classes again.
Dr. Mendel really cares for the success of his students. In his lab he does talk about the material and goes into depth, he doesn't just sit there and let you do whatever you want. He puts in extra work to provide study materials for the students and makes videos of all the models for students to watch as many times as they want.
Great professor, one of the few that genuinely cares about your success. Would take again!
He is a very good professor and has a lot of cool ways to remember things. He tries very hard and wants to see all of his students do well.
Dr. Mendel isn't your ordinary lab/lecture professor. He is the superhero of biology out to save students' GPA's. He posts videos of models, explanations along with dances, drawings,.. you name it. So basically, it is up to the student whether or not they want to pass. This professor sincerely cares about his students. Take his classes if you can!
learned a lot! he goes the full lab time which kinda sucks but its worth it.
Dr. Mendel will go above and beyond to teach you the material. He has done just about everything so he either has a story and can relate anatomy to some kind of story. I defiantly recommend, he's worth listening to and is a great teacher!
I would definitely recommend him to anyone. He really does know his stuff and his lectures are always full of personal stories to make them more interesting.
Dr. Mendel is one the best professors I have had. He goes far beyond to make sure you succeed in his class. He makes lab videos and records his lectures for you. If you are entering the health field I highly recommend him due to the fact he relates topics you will have in the future. Take Dr. Mendel!
Had Mendel for lab and would definitely take again! Very thorough at explaining and making sure you understand. Only thing is beware that you will have to stay for the entire lab period every class!
Great lecture and really cares about students
I had Dr. Mendel for lab. Really cares about his students and makes sure that you know the material. He posts YouTube video of all of the models that are great for studying for practicals. But he will make you stay the entire lab period every time if you have never had a professor like that before.
Dr. Mendel is one of the best professors I have ever had. Yeah, anatomy is a hard class, but he makes it so much more understandable. For lab, he makes youtube videos of all the models so you can study for lab VERY easily and these are great for studying for lab practicals. Take him! Hes the best and really loves the subject!
Dr. Mendel is a great professor & I highly recommend him! He is really personable, you can tell he really loves his job, and also that he cares about his students. His lecture and lab both have some difficult material, as expected, but he gives students helpful ways to remember that material, which is super helpful when studying for exams.
One of the best professors I have taken. He actually cares about his students and looks to increase their knowledge. I would recommend him to anyone.
Best anatomy teacher I've ever had. Willing to do anything and everything to give you the best grade possible! Highly recommended to take him for Bio 122!
Great professor. If you don't take him for A&P, you're doing it wrong. He really cares about his students and will take extra time outside of class to help you with anything you need.
Dr. Mendel was a fantastic professor for anatomy. He was very educated on the subject and made learning anatomy very fun. He cares about his students and how they do and takes the time to help them with whatever they need.
Dr. Mendel is amazing! He is defiantly the best professor at USI for anatomy. He really wants all of his students to do well in the class. He is very clear about what material will be tested over and how you need to study.
BEST PROFESSOR EVER HES A MUST HAVE. HES SO BENEFICIAL AND HELPS SO MUCH. YOULL REGRET NOT TAKING HIM
Dr. Mendel is AMAZING for lab. He really cares about his students and makes sure that they know the material. He posts YouTube video of all of the models that are used in the practicals and is willing to stay after and explain things.
A wonderful teacher, but the subject material is somewhat tough. Reading the book before lectures helped, and he recorded the lectures to go back and watch.
HES THE BEST EVER.... TAKE HIM BY ALL MEANS!!! You will have study alot but there is no other professor who cares more about his students and his students' grades, than him.
He really tries to do what he can to make his students understand the material. The test are not easy so you should read over each chapter before you attend lecture because it'll make the material easier to understand. The only professor I've had that actually wants all of his students to pass with a decent grade.
He is always willing to answer questions, even if it isn't necessarily about what is being taught! He is very knowledgeable and knows so much about so many different aspects of health-care, medical and holistic. He makes learning interesting and makes you actually want to learn more everyday! Fantastic professor, without a doubt.
OH MY GOODNESS! TAKE DR. MENDEL AND YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT. Dr. Mendel cares tremendously for every single one of his students. He will go above and beyond to make sure every student understands everything he teaches. He makes his lectures enjoyable and ensures that you remember the information.
He is an excellent instructor and has the best interest of his students in mind. He is also very personable, more than willing to lend assistance, has a high level of integrity, and is able to present material that can be related to very easily. His educational talents are rare.
He makes the material easier to learn (though anatomy will be tough no matter who the prof. is). He tells jokes to help us remember material, and he reviews exams so you can know what you should study for the next exam. Records lab diagrams so you can study them outside of class (HELPFUL!) & relates material to real-life scenarios. Would take again
Definitely recommend Dr. Mendel for BIO122 lecture and lab. I took him during a summer session therefore it was a lot of material to cover in a short period of time, but Dr. Mendel made it fun for us. Never a dull moment with this professor! If you study and pay attention you will pass with no problem!
Dr. Mendel is an awesome professor. Hands down the best teacher I have ever had! He's so caring, easy guy to talk to, and is pretty fair if you go to him about a test question being confusing he will even give credit back for if he agrees (which he does 90% of the time).
Dr. Mendel is definitely a great professor! I have never met another professor that truly cares as much as he does for his students. He does a great job teaching the material in lecture and lab. He posts the lectures and labs online for his students to watch outside the class to enhance their learning.
Dr. Mendel is by far the best biology professor I have ever had. He genuinely cares about his students and really wants them to succeed. His lectures are very interesting because he likes to add in personal stories and some jokes as well. He posts his lectures online so you can listen to them out of the classroom as well. TAKE DR. MENDEL!
He is an amazing teacher who truly wants you to succeed! I would highly recommend him. He is definitely the best anatomy professor at USI.
I would not have passed this class without Dr. Mendel. Literally. That isn't a joke, don't take anyone else.
Best and most fair professor I've ever had. And he's hilarious so you stay awake. Take him!!!!
Great teacher! He really cares about his students!
Dr. Mendel is a brilliant teacher. I highly recommend taking him because he is the only teacher that actually goes through the tests with you and he's the only one that records videos of models for lab. I felt like he prepared me really well for the tests and practicals. He will make you work for the grade. He's such a caring and nice person.
TAKE. HIM. AS. YOUR. PROFESSOR. Best prof I've ever had. Funny, good lectures, explains things so well. Very caring & really good about one on one, esp with if you don't understand something or don't understand what you missed. Cannot describe how seriously awesome he is. Makes anatomy FUN & EASY.
Definitely would take his class again, he's amazing! The lecture powerpoints really help a lot for the exams and the lab youtube videos are extremely helpful for lab. Dr. Mendel really cares a lot about his students and has a great understanding of anatomy and can relate the topics to something in real life. Very easy to get along with.
Amazing professor! He will go out of his way to make sure you are getting the grade you deserve! Highly recommended!
He is an extremely good anatomy professor who actually cares about each student's grade. He will always be accessible outside of class and answer any questions you have. He goes above and beyond to make sure you excel by posting all lectures online and videos of lab models.
I would greatly recommend D. Mendel. Anatomy is not an easy course but Dr. Mendel truly cares about his students and wants them to pass with a good grade. He gives great lectures with great examples that help with learning the material. He is patient and always willing to answer questions.
Dr. Mendel is one of the most caring professors out there. He wants you to succeed and he will do everything in his power to help you. I HIGHLY recommend this professor.
Mendel is the only professor that makes videos of the lab models. He records his lectures so you can watch them again. He truly cares about his students and does everything possible to help you understand the material. If you have questions, he gets back to you right away.
Dr. Mendel is by fair my favorite professor on the campus. He goes above and beyond to make sure each of his students feel like they have received the best experience in his class. He is the best lab professor there is on campus. He will answer everyone's questions. What I am trying to say is take Dr. Mendel for anatomy over any other Professor!
Highly recommend Dr. Mendel. Extremely knowledgeable professor. He makes sure you truly understand things, so I always felt well prepared for tests. He has several helpful materials posted on Blackboard, including YouTube videos.
He loves his job and you can tell. He is always there to further explain something if you do not understand and is willing to work with you. He makes his classes as entertaining as he can so his students enjoy learning. I would highly recommend him to anyone that is going to take his class. You need to make sure to put forth effort when studyin
Highly recommend! His youtube videos allow you to study like you are in the lab with him explaining everything when it is convenient for you. He is also very willing to stay after class and explain things and he makes sure the material is understood before he moves on.
Understands the students and is willing to work with them so they understand
Buy the textbook bundle, avoid using chegg this time. Listen to what he says, get a study group, do the assignments, you will get an A. Go to him for help. Lab is great with Mendel, but you might not get him in lab. Attendance is easy points, his class is enjoyable. His philosophy- We are his employer, we give him his job, so why not do a good job.
He is always willing to help you outside of class. His youtube videos are very helpful for lab. He records all of his lectures for you to go back and rewatch.
Dr. Mendel is a great professor. He truly cares for his students and their success. I would not take Anatomy with any other professor he is amazing! He loads every lecture online and makes videos to help you in lab. He is always available to help you out of class. Only downside, he can take a while to grade things.
Great professor, he wants to make grading fair and wants you to have your best grade possible. There is a lot of work you have to do and memorize, but he is willing to go the extra mile to make sure you pass and that you get help. Meet him, make yourself known.
Dr. Mendel is an amazing anatomy teacher. I have never taken anatomy a day in my life a I left the class with a 96%. Pay close attention in lecture, use the power points to your advantage, and study his lecture videos for practical. He is a very approachable person, so don't be afraid to ask questions.
Dr. Mendel is truly an amazing professor that really cares about his students. I only had him for lab but in the lab he is willing to stay the whole 3 hours for anyone that needs it and even creates youtube videos of all the models to study at home! We had a day after the final to come back and see our scores and he gave out some extra points!
He is the beat professor I've ever taken. If you have the chance to take him do. He is so caring and helps me so much. Take him he will help you however he can. Amazing man.
Such a great professor. Does everything he can to give you the grade you deserve. Would 100% take again. He truly cares about his students and is willing to help you out in any way to make sure you are in good understanding of the material.
I have greatly enjoyed taking Anatomy and Physiology with Dr. Mendel. He is a brilliant professor who deeply cares for his students and does everything in his power to help them succeed. His lectures are very detailed, and he grades extremely fairly.
Provides all of his lectures online and goes over all of the lab models for the exams and makes YouTube videos so you can study with them. Wants everyone to do well and is super nice and funny.
He was very fair and caring when it came to his students. His lectures were interesting to listen to because you could see how passionate he was about what he was teaching. Definitely would take him if I were you!
Dr. Mendel is the best professor on USI campus. He is passionate about anatomy and really wants his students to learn the content. Tests can be difficult, but if you put in the effort, you will be fine. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Mendel for anatomy.
Dr. Mendel had a big influence on my passion for learning and staying in school. He LOVES what he is teaching! Hes all about his students and making sure they succeed.

I definitely recommend Dr. Mendel. He is really great at explaining things and relating it to things we better understand.
I've had Mendel for both 121 (Lab) and 122 (Lecture & Lab) and have found that he is routing for the students and is there to work for you. He values students opinions on many different things and always tries to be as fair as possible. If you don't learn just by going to lecture he also records different videos to help learning outside of class.
Great professor! Will spend time to make sure everything is understood! Highly recommend!
Dr. Mendel is hands down one of the best professors I have had. He truly cares about his students and how well they comprehend the material. He focuses of concepts we will actually need to know for our futures. I took his Biol 122 summer course and if was definitely hard, but not impossible. I definitely recommend Dr. Mendel for anatomy!!!
He is a great teacher and really strives to see all his students succeed and pass his class.
Great Teacher really knows topic well!
Dr. Mendel is definitely one of the best professors I have had. He is so generous to all of his students and also provides many study materials to help all of his students succeed in his class. I took his Bio 122 class in the summer. It was definitely one of the hardest classes I have taken so far, but he helped make it very manageable.
Dr. Mendel is an awesome professor who everyone should take if they have the opportunity! Hes fair and makes sure everyone has the necessary tools to do well in this course. Its a tough class but he tries to make it as painless as possible. He also uses lab time to work one on one with students to make sure they understand the material
Dr. Mendel really helps you understand the material if you dont understand something. He makes his lectures interesting and comes up with sayings to help you remember the material.
Mendel was a great professor. He explained everything great and always helped go into detail to help you understand things you were confused about.
Dr. Mendel is the best anatomy teacher you can get. Hes a guy that truly cares about your success in class. He always finds way to help his students really grasp the material. His classes are challenging but at least you leave the class really knowing the material.
Dr. Mendel actually cares about his students and wants them all to achieve. He specifically says that he does not look at names on test as he grades them so he won't judge you at all. He personally won't know if you are earning an A in the class or a F. Dr. Mendel understands Anatomy can be a long class, but he makes it enjoyable.
Great teacher, really cares about his students. Hard class, but he makes it as easy and straight-forward as possible.
An amazing professor! He goes above and beyond any professor I've had. He records his lecture and posts videos of the labs for reference and encourages you to ask him any questions. He explains the material very well and gives you sayings to remember some of the extensive material. Would 100% recommend, he truly cares about his students!
Great professor! He really cares about being fair, making sure you understand the material, and making the class enjoyable.
Dr. Mendel showed fairness throughout the course. He develops fair teacher-student relationships. You can tell he does everything he can for you to be successful and understand the material properly. Great professor!
The best professor that I have had while attending University of Southern Indiana. He truly cares and tries his best every single day. It is obvious how much time and thought he puts into each individual lesson!
Dr. Mendel cares about his students and what they learn/take from his class. It shows in his lecture style. He was meant to be a professor. He incorporates great stories and relateable information into lab and lecture. Be sure to keep up with the material though, you can get behind quickly! Take this class with him, you wont regret it.
Dr. Mendel is very intelligent but teaches in a way that students understand. He also cares about how well students do in his class.
Made the class easier with corky sayings
This was my first time taking BIO 122 lecture and lab, while also having Dr. Mendel. After having different professors for BIO 121, Dr. Mendle is by far the best professor Ive had for this course. He explains everything out to where we actually understand it and his lecture videos and snapy sayings are extremely helpful.
He really cares about his students and will do anything to help you understand the material. His YouTube videos are a life saver for lab practicals. He tells a lot of stories during lecture that help you associate material and actually learn it rather than just memorize it.
Makes it very interesting! Great professor! Helps you a lot!
Best professor Ive ever had. He genuinely cares about his students.
Loved him!
Dr. Mendel was by far the best anatomy professor I have had. I took four different professors in total at USI and his section was absolutely the most beneficial.
I like the stories he tells with his lectures!
Mendel is all around just a great guy. He truly wants you to succeed and he will straight up tell you that. He is fair and keeps to his word. He is probably the best professor at USI.. so deff take him if you have the chance. 10/10
Best professor at USI hands down. Genuinely cares and works for each student. Even goes over the tests which no other professor does. Will help and find time for you whenever you needed it. 12/10 recommend
Never had a professor that seems to love his job and the subject he teaches more than him. He found real world applications and told stories of his experiences that really tied information together. His stories and anicdotes are still helping me to this day. He genuinely cares about his students and is more than ready to help when you need it.
ALL notes he uses in lecture & lab are available for you via blackboard, as well as recordings of his lectures, & detailed Youtube vids for lab. I got lazy & skipped quite a few lectures, as the attendance wasnt mandatory, but I got behind, hence the C. he wants you to learn, sets you up to earn an A, and genuinely cares about your education
Dr. Medel has a true passion for the subject he teaches and the kids he teaches as well. If ever we needed help he absolutely loved to help. I transferred schools and he told me that if I ever need help to email him because he is still there. He is such a kind and respectful professor, I hope to run into another professor like him someday.
Extremely hard class but this teacher will go out of his way to help you. Honestly, failed the class but still an amazing professor!!
Dr. Mendel has easily been the best professor I have had so far at USI. He is so so genuine and truly looks out for the student's best interest. He will go above and beyond to help you achieve your goal for the class. A&P2 is a difficult course, TAKE HIM. He knows and explains everything until his students understand. Great professor & person.
Dr. Mendel is an awesome professor who goes above and beyond what is expected. He really works to help you out (even if you're not in his class). He makes learning the material easy by breaking it down into everyday language and has corky sayings that help.
Had him for anatomy 1 as well, & I think he is a great professor. if you can take him, you need to. the tests are very difficult but if you study & go to lecture youll be fine. he is very fair & will actually listen to feedback & help you succeed. thanks for a great year mendel!
Mendel is generally a good professor, he wants his students to do well so hes willing to give hints in class about whats going to be on the exam. Doesnt take attendance in lecture but there are quizzes. Records all lectures and had YouTube videos for lab models which really help.
Dr. Mendel wants to see you succeed and will do whatever it takes to help you learn the material and get there. He made it clear what would be tested over and taught the information very well with analogies and stories to make the topics more relatable and understandable. I plan on taking him for Anatomy 2 also!
Dr. Mendel is a professor who truly cares about his students and wants them to pass his class. He Bends over backwards to help you in anyway he can, and is an advocate for his students. His videos on YouTube are extremely helpful. He also records his lectures. Highly recommend this professor. I will be taking him for Anatomy 2 when time comes.
Dr. Mendel truly cares about his students. I've had for classes more than once and I can guarantee you that I haven't regretted it a single time. He truly wants you to do well and provides you with the necessary tools to make that happen. His YouTube videos and recorded lectures are the perfect example of this. I would recommend Dr. Mendel to all.
He is really helpful and super nice. He makes sure you know the correct material. He made lecture panaptos and lab videos.
Does an amazing job explaining everything. Clearly loves his job and relates everything back to a personal experience. Is there to help with whatever you need whenever you need it! Highly recommend!
I really liked having mendel for anatomy 1 and 2. Recorded lectures and YouTube videos for lab really helped me study for practical and lecture exams. I do believe Mendel wants his students to succeed. On most exams he gives points back for unfair or confusing questions. Highly recommend.
I took Greg Mendel for Bio 121 and I thought he was a very good teacher. He truly tries to help you do well in the class.
Hes such a good teacher! I had him for Anatomy 1 & 2 and would highly recommend him to anyone. Although lectures arent mandatory, I would definitely go. He explains a lot of things in different ways & answers questions thoroughly. He also records all of his lectures & lab models which comes in handy for studying!
Anatomy is a hard and sometimes boring class. Mendel tries to make it enjoyable and comes up with ways to help students remember the content. He makes videos for most of the material needed in lab, and in lecture he records everyday so students can go back at any time and listen/watch what was taught that day.
He does the absolute most for his students. He has so many resources like videos and recorded lectures and stuff, which really helps make a hard class more manageable. 10/10 would professor again.
Dr. Mendel is a great professor and I highly reccommend taking him for A&P. He truly goes above and beyond to help you understand.
Students at USI who have taken anatomy know Dr. Mendel as one of the best anatomy teachers USI has in this department. He really does his best to see his students succeed. He was one of my favorite teacher last year! I think I learned the most from him out of any of my teachers I had all year! He is so helpful and challenges his students.
Really cared about his students and made an effort to make sure we had opportunities to ask questions and held open labs before tests. He tells a lot of stories that are pretty applicable to the material and make it more interesting.
Amazing professor, very helpful and down to earth, easy to talk to. He is very knowledgeable in this course and is always trying to help you rather than trick you and make your life harder. Would 100% recommend to anyone taking, or struggling with anatomy.
Dr. Greg Mendel is a very good professor. He would always try to help you and make it fun for you to learn. If you are struggling, he would gladly help you! He records his lectures and makes lab videos so that the student can revisit anytime they'd like. Best anatomy professor, would 100% take him again. Try to take him if you can!
Dr. Mendel is one of the best professors I have had. He really cares about his students and is willing to help the in any way he can if they are willing to put in the effort and work. I definitely recommend taking his class. You do have to work for a good grade but learn a lot in the end.
He is very willing to help you out.
I would highly suggest taking Dr. Mendel for A&P if possible. He goes out of his way to make sure his students pass. He records lectures for you to watch after class but that does not mean you can skip. He really tries to prepare you for each and every exams. I would take him again.
Dr. Mendel is the best professor at USI. I had him for Anatomy 2 and he was phenomenal. He explains the material in different ways to help each student understand. He takes time to make sure that everyone is doing alright. He gives you all kinds of studying tips so that you are ready for the next class and tests. He is a great professor and funny.
He is super good at clearing up any questions you have! Anatomy isn't as hard as it seems if you have a good professor! If you can get Dr. Mendel you WILL pass if you put in the work!
Awesome professor! He really wants you to succeed and will help you if needed. I would definitely take him if you have the opportunity.
Dr. Mendel is such an amazing anatomy professor. He goes out of his way to ensure that his students are comprehending the material and that everyone is happy about the classroom procedures. He communicates with his students very well. He is very passionate about anatomy, and he brings the material home with personal stories.
He was a good professor. Lectures were boring, but he records them. Gave lots of tools to use to help understand the content. There was a lot of busy work. Overall a decent professor.
The only reason I put a 5 for level of difficulty is because Anatomy itself is REALLY hard. You absolutely HAVE to study to get even a decent grade in the class. Dr. Mendel was easily my favorite professor my freshman year at USI. Super caring for his students! We would talk during office hours about everything. Super chill and down-to-earth guy!
Dr. Mendel is the best! Anatomy 1 and 2 were my favorite classes because of how he lectures. He is clear in all his explanations and I feel that I have learned a lot from him.
Awesome teacher. Easily assessable. Cares about each student. However, very hard class. Dont expect to just simply study for this class. It requires ample amounts of time of hard work and effort just to get a C. Also if you are a heavy procrastinator with bad study habits, you should do yourself a favor and look for another class. Time consuming
He doesn't care if you pass or fail. He won't help on extra questions or provide helpful resources for exams
Lot of lectures, you gotta keep up. As an online class, online labs and lectures make it very difficult. He doesn't seem to care that students are stressed because of this class, and provides little to no other resources . :)
This class was completely online due to Covid; it was supposed to have been in person. Terrible online teacher. Anytime I emailed him to ask any questions about homework or tests, he never answered my questions, wasn't professional, and was very dry. He also never checked up on the students and it seemed like he couldn't care less if we failed.
Mendel is a really good professor, this is just a hard class. There are a ton of study aids on his website and he tells us exact questions from the test in his lectures. As long as you hold yourself accountable and do more than the bare minimum homework, you will do well. People think he's bad because they don't do the extra work and expect an A.
Dr. Mendel is an AMAZING anatomy teacher. He has helped me so much through this whole pandemic and has really pushed me to be a good student. I have so much respect for him and how he has handled the whole pandemic situation. Thanks so much
On my final, Proctorio crashed and would not let me sign back into the test. Professor Mendel made me a new test with the remaining question, so that I could receive a proper chance at a good grade. Take his class! He actually cares about his students.
I LOVED this class with Dr. Mendel. By far my favorite despite the large challenge. It is a very difficult class based off the material, but very easy to understand if you work for it. I have seen lots of negative reviews, but you hae to have a good drive to succeed in his class. He provides AMAZING resources and tells you exactly what to know.
I took A&P about 5 years ago with Dr. Mendel. Im currently in pharmacy school and I often think about what Dr. Mendel taught us. This rarely happens for me, but I learned so much in his class that it actually makes some of the things that I learn in pharmacy school easier. Best A&P professor hands down!!
He is a great professor, but the content is very difficult at times. Exams are hard, be prepared! Lectures are all recorded and uploaded. Blackboard is organized, he truly cares about his students.
Dr. Mendel is a great professor and truly cares about his students. He makes you work for a good grade but is fair and reasonable. I really enjoy having him!
Anatomy and Physiology is a difficulty class but Dr. Mendel helped tremendously. He was always willing to help students, allowed the students to challenge questions that we missed on exams, and curved multiple exams during the semester. Effort and studying is vital in this class but I would 100% choose Dr. Mendel for a professor.
When I took A&P 1, I struggled a lot. This could have been because it was online though. Dr. Mendel is very helpful and wants his students to succeed. During lectures, he'll make it very obvious if something will be on the test. No doubt that he is the best anatomy professor at USI!
Dr. Mendel is hands down the best anatomy professor at USI. I had him for lecture last semester and lab this semester. He makes it clear what you need to know for the tests, and although anatomy is a very tough class, he makes it more enjoyable. So glad there is someone passionate about what they do like him. Take him, you won't regret it.
I had Dr. Mendel for lecture, but his YouTube videos got me through the lab portion of Anatomy I. He truly cares about his students and wants to make sure we're successful. Would absolutely recommend taking his classes.
I really enjoyed Dr. Mendel's class, he cares about his students. He asked the class if we were ready for each exam and would push it back until the next class if we didn't feel prepared yet. He gives good study tips and catchy sayings that help you remember the material. Overall, I recommend this class with Dr. Mendel!
Doctor Mendel was a wonderful professor! I found his tips and tricks very helpful, and he is very knowledgeable about his teachings. He always wanted his classes to succeed. He would allow you to meet with him to discuss the problems you were having. Take his advice on how to study and you will succeed! Also his YouTube videos are helpful for lab!
Anatomy is really hard at USI and that's pretty well known but Dr. Mendel knows this as well and is actually willing to put in the work for you. He won't boost your grade very much at the end so your grade in blackboard is pretty much the grade you get. As long as you put in the work you'll pass.
The best professor I've ever had at USI. His lectures were entertaining despite the content being really difficult, and he made hard concepts easy to understand by the way he explained things. He expects a lot, but he also works really hard to make sure everyone can get a grade they are happy with if they're willing to work hard.
Greg Mendel is incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely cares for his students. His lectures include real life stories and practical examples of the course material, and I still remember MANY things that he taught me 7 years ago when I took his class. He saw me after all those years, and he remembered me. He is the best teacher I've ever had.
First day I went to go ask him a question, he spun around and said "What's up brother how can I help you?" But he also genuinely cares if you pass his class and tries to promote programs put in place to help you with his class.
Dr Mendel was an amazing professor. He truly cares about his students and wants them to succeed. Even though anatomy and physiology is tough, he will try his best to help you until you understand. I enjoyed having him as a professor. Best professor no doubt.
I took a condensed course over the summer. He made it clear 1st day that all normal content would be included and he fulfilled that promise! Very kind and will reexplain concepts in new ways if you are struggling. This class is tough but straightforward. Although, I'm still upset that he didn't count "Aortic artery" for the Aorta on a lab exam! :)
He is so good about getting you to understand hard topics! He uses many personal stories from his time as a doctor and it helps very much. You can tell that he cares that his students pass. He is a great professor!!
I didn't have him for class, but I came to Dr. Mendel in one of my darkest academic moments, and he took me in as if I were his student. He advocated for me when I felt helpless, and I'm super grateful. He also turned a dull material entertaining when he lectured for our class.
Dr. Mendel is the absolute best professor ever! He does everything he can to help you succeed, and his lectures are very clear. Even though A&P is a very challenging course, Dr. Mendel helps you through it and tells you exactly what is on the exams/ lab practicals. His class is the best to take!!
There's no doubt that anatomy is a hard class, but Dr. Mendel made it as easy as possible. He tells you exactly what to study, and if there's a question a lot of people got wrong he will throw it out. It's important to take notes a utilize the book for this course, so if you do that you will be successful.
Dr. Mendel is a very fun/funny professor. He tells lots of stories that help you remember the content of the course, so if you don't like stories maybe don't take Dr. Mendel. If you ask questions and read the textbook you can get an A in this course. Dr. Mendel likes to give each student the opportunity to see their exam/lab practical afterward.
Love Dr Mendel!!! Take him for anatomy if you ever get the chance. He helped me when I had a C in the class and got me back on track to a B. He is one of the best professors you will ever meet. Of course the class itself is hard but he cares very much about his students getting a good grade.
Dr. Mendel made taking Anatomy 1 easy. He truly wants his students to succeed. He makes anatomy make sense. Tells stories all the time that relate to the material to make it memorable. DEFINITLEY have him for lab. I found writing notes directly on the slides during lecture was the best way to take notes.
Dr. Mendel's class helped prepare me for real clinical experiences. His lectures and labs helped me identify medical emergencies with my patients at work that were missed by other medical professionals. His class also prepared and allowed me to keep up and understand the doctors and respiratory therapists that I followed during the summer.
Although I did not get the best grade I could get (personal reasons behind that) Greg was a great anatomy professor. He truly cares and wants the best for his students. He sat down with me and walked me through some lectures so I could better understand the material. If you can, make a point to go to his office hours. He was great!
Many people have said they enjoyed this class, however, I cannot say my personal experience was that great. There were certain parts of the text I did not fully understand so I went to him for help. I found it very disrespectful as he rudely told me if I had read the text then I would understand what was going on. I did not get a chance to explain.
I would take a Mendel class every semester if I could. Anatomy is a hard class but he tries his best to make it as easy as possible. He's a 10/10 professor who genuinely cares about his students and wants everyone to succeed. If you have to take Anatomy for your major, TAKE IT WITH GREG!!!
Awesome professor
He truly cares and wants each person in his class to pass. He throws out a test question if it was commonly missed, gives back half points for "close" answers on lab practicals, and tries his best to help you succeed in any way he can. Anatomy is hard and requires a lot of studying, but if you have the option to take it with Dr. Mendel you should!
I really liked his class and you can tell he cares about his students.
Dr. Mendel is an amazing professor. If you have the chance to take his class I 100% recommend taking him. He is very caring and helpful. He is always willing to help and wants you to pass his class. If you need help take advantage of his office hours because they will help tremendously.
Had this professor for both Bio 121 and 122. Even though his course is a bit difficult he does his best to help out students. Make sure that you take notes and listen to lectures as anything he covers in class, is on the test.
Dr.Mendel is one of the best professors I've ever had. You can tell he cares about his students and wants everyone to succeed. Anatomy is a hard class in general so you will have to do a lot of work outside of class if you want a good grade. He tries to be clear bout what you should be studying and his stories really helped me memorize material.
Dr. Mendel is genuinely the best professor I have ever had. He cares about every one of his students and takes the time to get to know everybody. His lectures are interesting, and he teaches in a way in which you can understand. He is also very funny and one of the nicest people I have ever met. I'd write more if RMP would let me. Take his class!
Dr. Mendel has been the best professor that I have ever had. I genuinely have not had a professor care so much about me as an individual and truly want to see me succeed. I am grateful that I took this class with someone who goes above and beyond what is asked of him to make sure we get the best education we could possibly receive. TAKE HIS CLASS!
I was dreading taking anatomy over the summer as an accelerated course, but Dr. Mendel made this summer class so worth it! By the end I was excited to go every day. He is the best professor I've ever had at USI. I love the way he cares for his students and teaches them with a passion for anatomy. I learned anatomy in a way that I will never forget.
I could not recommend taking Dr. Mendel more for anatomy. Not only is he an amazing professor, but he is an amazing person. He treats his students with so much respect and makes time to get to know each & every one of them. He teaches in such an inspiring, knowledgeable, & brilliant way that makes the content stick. Best professor at USI by far!!
I highly recommend Prof Mendel! You can tell he really cares and knows his stuff.
Dr Mendel genuinely cares about and wants every person to succeed. He thoroughly explains the material and gives amazing study tips. His advice will only help increase your grade. He is also a great person, he shares his experiences in a way that correlates to the class. I hope everyone has a chance to have Dr Mendel as their professor.
Dr. Mendel is an exceptional professor that creates an environment that makes students excited to learn and come to class every day. He is a fantastic lecturer that uses real examples to make sure students understand the material in depth and on a bigger scale. He is one of the best professors I have had the chance to learn from!
During Mendal's lectures he would go off topic a lot. He is discouraging and unhelpful when talking to him. His lecture SI for BIO 122 was terrible and when people would complain he wouldn't do anything to solve the problems. He also picked favorites in the classes depending on what their parent occupations are (any medical field).
Prof Mendel makes anatomy engaging with real-life examples. Tough material, but he genuinely cares and helps you succeed. Definitely use unstuckstudy AI and the textbook to supplement the lectures.
dr mendel is funny and cares about his students. i have many friends who have different professors and we have the best supplemental instructor out of all of them. she goes over the material and makes sure we understand it.even if you arent in his class you should go to laineys sessions. dr mendel is good but the si is why my grade is the way it is
Really wants you to pass the course. Cares about students.
Dr. Mendel is an exceptional professor who truly embodies a passion for teaching. His love for the subject is contagious. He's incredibly understanding and approachable, always willing to take the time to help, no matter how busy he is. Dr. Mende connects with his students on a personal level, creating a supportive learning environment. My favorite
Was in bio 121 lab and he made it a fun learning experience even with the large amount if material needed to be covered.
Dr. Mendel provides lectures that are both informative and fun. He tells true stories and helpful mnemonics to create a meaningful and engaging learning environment. The course itself is very difficult, and reading the textbook goes a long way towards a good grade, but the professor does everything within reason to make sure his students pass.
Mr. Mendel was an amazing A&P1 professor. He truly cares about how well you do and wants you to succeed. He will help you as much as he can and tries his best to help you get the best grade possible. He tells many stories and takes his time teaching, but it is always important and worth listening to. I loved having him as a professor!
I loved this class! It was really good and Prof Mendel cares about his students and what he teaches. He explains everything but you really have to listen in lectures. You have to study for the exams but overall a great class
Professor Mendel really wants his students to do well, and is always willing to help you outside of class. This class takes a lot of studying, but I would take it again!
If you have the opportunity to take Dr. Mendel, do it!! He lectures in ways that really help you understand new concepts easier, and he works with his students to ensure you get the best grade possible. He goes above and beyond for his students and wants everyone to succeed. He has the highest passing rate out of all anatomy professors at USI!!
Dr. Mendel is an amazing teacher, as an incoming freshman I was very nervous for this class but Dr. Mendel is one of the most caring professors and wants you to do well. He incorporates stories that are relevant to his lecture which really helps you to understand and remember concepts for tests and keeps the class entertained.
Dr.Mendel truly cares about each of his students. If you use the abundance of resources he gives you then you will be well off. He is very engaging and is always willing to work one on one during lab times! Would highly recommend!
Although AP1 was a difficult class, Dr. Mendel made it fun by using real examples in both lecture and lab. Mendel really cares about each person's grade in the class, all 100+ students. He is straightforward about the course's difficulty and genuinely believes that everyone can succeed.
Dr. Mendel is a very great professor for Anatomy and Physiology I. He offers many resources to help guide you through the class and get a good grade because he genuinely cares about your success.If you take advantage of all of his study opportunities you will do great in his class.
I had Dr. Mendel for lecture and lab, and he is by far the best professor I have had. He is very engaging and makes all of his course content digestible through stories that tie the information together. He is very clear about what he expects from his students, lays out exactly what you need to do to be successful, and is fair and understanding.
Dr. Mendel was a wonderful professor. He cared very much about each of his students and genuinely wants you to succeed. There are SI's for lecture and open labs. He posts the slides we go over in class and lectures so that you can rewatch them. He makes sure that you are prepared for the exams. I would definitely take his class again.
My favorite professor! He made learning the material easier and was always available when I had questions. He wants you to pass his class and learn the material in a functional way. I looked forward to class and wasn't scared for exams or lab.
Dr. Mendel is one of the smartest people I know and is a phenomenal teacher. He keeps you awake during lectures with interesting true stories, relevant to anatomy, and is hilarious as well. He truly cares about his students and gives everyone his best effort to improve their knowledge and for them to succeed in their future programs. He's the best.
Dr. Mendel is a professor who cares about his job but truly cares and respects his students. He wants to help in whatever ways he can and volunteers to be his students' advocate. While the material he teaches can be difficult, he does his best to present it and explain it in a way for all his students to understand. I would 100% retake him.
One of the best teachers I've ever had. He really cared his students success in and outside of the classroom. He offered many resources to help you succeed and was very very funny!
Dr. Mendel is one of those professors who genuinely cares about both the material and his students. His passion for anatomy and physiology is infectious, he has an incredible ability to break down concepts into something simple. What makes him stand out is his dedication. He goes above and beyond to make sure we understand the material. THE BEST!!!
He was only my lab instructor but he was always giving study tips and was not a tough grader by any means.
I loved having Dr. Mendel! He really cares for his students.
Dr. Mendel has been the best professor/ teacher I've ever had. He truly wanted to see us succeed in and outside of the classroom. He also made so many jokes that made lecture/ lab so much better!
Dr. Mendel makes a difficult class much more bearable. He uses humor to help you remember the huge quantity of information learned in anatomy. He cares for his students more than any other teacher and does everything in his power to help you pass. He has YouTube videos for all of the models for easy studying. Makes a 3 hour lab feel like 30 minutes
Dr. Mendel provides his students with everything they need to know in order to prepare for the exams. He posts all his lectures online and has many videos on YouTube going over lab models to help study for practicals. He uses funny stories and phrases to help you remember key terms you'll need to know during the semester. Take AP with Dr. Mendel.
Okay professor. Had YouTube videos to help us learn. Told jokes at times. He was understanding with the difficulty of the lab practicals. I was 30 points from receiving a C in the class and he would not round it although he respected me and I went to every class, so now I have to retake it. He curved others. He lost a lot of my respect from that.
Dr. Mendel was the best professor I've ever had. I looked forward to every lecture and he was incredibly helpful in lab. Will forever recommend him for A&P
Dr. Mendel is the most awesome professor you can have. Very laid back, chill, and understanding. His life stories are very memorable and relevant to his lecture topics and he will do whatever it takes to “drag you to the finish line” and help you pass. Very caring but make sure you study that textbook to prepare for exams and pop quizzes!
I have taken AnP twice and never passed. Until I have taken his class Dr. Mendel is an incredible professor, he understands and supports his students. He explains concepts clearly, he's approachable, and always willing to help. His exams are exactly like the learning objectives. If you're looking for a professor to take for AnP I would take him.
NOTE: Before reading this review, I am an adult, nontraditional student who failed this same class in the Spring semester of 2025 (that's right, a big fat F). This guy went out of his way to make the class not only interesting, but enjoyable. Looked forward to every single lecture, even though I started it one week after Spring finals were done.
He cares about his students a lot and will do everything he can to help you pass. He is very reasonable with grading exams and homework. He has lots of personal stories that relate to whats covered in class to help students understand. He puts in the extra effort to make TONS of youtube videos covering everything to help you study! 100% recommend!!
I had to come back here to rate Dr. Mendels SI. If you have Lainey as your SI thank God bc you are the chosen one. I am taking a ton of difficult classes and none of these SIs care as much as Lainey did. She taught me everything I know about anatomy and she is the sweetest person on earth. HIGHLY recommend mendel if it means you get Lainey too.
Dr. Mendel is an amazing professor and person! Lectures are recorded to allow you to go back and watch material you may not have understood the first time. I recently was sick and not only did Dr. Mendel do everything to make sure I was okay but also helped me get back on track. He is very accessible and deeply cares for everyone!
Where do I even start, He's a really great professor and very smart. He cares so much about his students and never fails to make sure that all of them will pass the class whether it's meeting with them one on one or emailing to help out. I most definitely recommend anyone to take his class as he will help you incredibly!
