Very helpful, very nice. Good teacher. Very detailed. Underlines study material in book but there is a TON to study.

He prepares you for all of his test. He is a great professor!!!

He gives A TON of stuff to study so if you work full-time and have a family, I don't recommend taking him. He is very helpful but I just think the amount of material he presents is overwhelming. I dropped the course and retook it with another prof.

His opening speech about class is scary, but it is his way of weeding out anyone who is not serious about taking the time to study. Study his lecture notes and you will do well. I would take him again if I had to take any Biology. classes.

I found this class to be very hard. There is a lot of information to study, it is very overwhelming. He is very clear, and makes it clear what to study for the exams, there is just a lot of it. There is no quizes or homework given in this class, but the exams are very detailed.

Hal is a great professor, he is VERY clear on his expectations. He has a very dry sense of humor, which is fun if you enjoy that kind of humor. He is definetly interested in teaching the serious student, so if you aren't willing to spend a lot of time studying and attending class, then this class will prove to be difficult. I would take him again.

His tests are hard. Its multiple choice, matching, and short answer, but very detailed. He expects alot from his students, and he knows what he teaches. He's not very lenient on grades. He is mostly serious but has some occassional humor.

Anatomy is never an easy class but compared to other teachers he is great. He lets you know what he is gonna test u on no secrets it is just a lot of stuff.

Very detailed! If you come to class and study you should do fine. Must have a pretty decent amount of time on your hands to study for his test and labs. He is very clear about what exactly will be on his test. His lectures go along great with everything on the test. He can be funny too!

I was in his 11 week summer class for Lab and Lecture! Dropped the class because it was too much for the amount of time that was given in the summer. He does give you everything that he will test you over by giving you all of the highlighted things in the units for each test. A LOT OF INFORMATION. Overall, a GREAT teacher. He helps in Open Lab too! A GREAT teacher, just a TON of information that is very DETAILED too!

Professor is very clear on what he wants you to know for exams. You're not just left having to study every single section of the book. Relevant and informative lecture, not boring.

Yeah, the CLASS is hard and people sometimes mistake the teacher for being difficult. Great for anatomy, his notes tell you everything you need to know. He's a little moody, but really a great guy. Helpful and loves what he does. Highly recommended for Anatomy - got an A in the summer course.

He seems really tough and can come across moody BUT he is not! He is extremly helpful. VERY organized and knows his stuff! I recomend his class. You MUST be prepared to study study study but it is an easy A if you put in the effort. I enjoyed his class so much. He is a GREAT teacher!

HE IS WONDERFUL

super great guy! learned alot

He is a good teacher, it's very easy if you study the notes. He is very clear on what will be on the test and gives you lecture notes to study. If you read the notes, you will do well. This class is time consuming, but it's anatomy and that is to be expected. He has a bit of an odd sense of humor, but he is nice.Offers extra time in lab to study.

Hal is an excellent prof. If you attend class, you get a good idea of what will be on tests (always diseases) and test q's come right from the notes. Book is just used for pictures. His grading is very fair; he gives partial credit on tests. But DO attend class and DO listen to him. He's a very funny guy, I wish he taught physio, too!

He is one of the best teachers at ACC. There are no surprises, he is very detailed and clear.

hal was awesome. MUST attend every class, always stay for lab for at least an hour and take advantage of open lab. He give you all the info you need in his packets. some think his lectures are boring, but pay attention. i took this over the summer, its hard but if you put 150% in you can make an A. he is more than happy to help you, just ask!

Hal is great! Very challenging, but you will learn so much and the packets he gives you contain all the information you will need. I still refer to mine now. You need the textbook for diagrams. His lab tests are ~60 questions naming parts on models, and his lecture tests are ~150 questions multiple choice from the notes. Hard, but worth it!

Best teacher for Human anatomy!!!!! I'm so lucky that I picked him for my Human anatomy class because he is the best teacher for anatomy among others. Don't become a last minute person when you want to take his tests, and You will be fine if you read the notes which he provides.

The great thing about Alsup's class is that he gives you all the notes you need to study for his exams. Notes are FANTASTIC. There are no "tricky questions" or surprises on his exams. The difficult thing about the class is that he gives you HUGE amounts of information to study. You can make an A in this class, but you must study very hard to do it.

yes strange guy, i didnt care for the trivia,but i would take him again any day, cool guy gives all the notes (lots) you may need,

He is such an awesome teacher and you will learn a lot with him. He gives you notes and thats what you need to study. Although the notes are very long and a lot of information to remember, if you study them you will do well! Great teacher and would totally take him for another biology class!! :)

I actully took him last semester and had to withdraw due outside factors, but he is very good at what he does. Dry sense of humor and can a bit strange sometimes, but he is always willing to help. Gives you ALL the notes for lecture and lab, all you have to do is study.

AWESOME! You must take his Anatomy class. He gives you the notes so all you have to do is study them! Yes, Anatomy is hard, however, he makes it easy to understand and he is ALWAYS willing to help you or answer any question! I would take a class with him any semester if he taught other classes!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! :)

Mr. Alsup is very helpful, and will spend the extra time to clarify any questions. I really enjoyed the class. He provides all notes! Study, study and anyone can ace this class.

First you need to know I dropped. I took it in the summer WAY to fast for me! He gives out handouts of what the test is over Study them! He counts off for spelling so if you are like me and have deslexia you are screwed! It is a hard class and you need to study, but he is a nice guy and knows the material. Long lec test about 150 or so lab 50-60.

I took the 5.5 week summer class and it was very labor-intensive. He always answered questions to the best of his ability and offered to help research answers he could not give immediately. He is very straightforward about his expectations and, as in any upper-division science course, the prospective student should be prepared for a challenge.

I took the 5.5 week summer class. He warns you from the beginning that it won't be easy and it's really a fair warning. If you are not willing to study everyday, you are not going to make an A. He knows the material like the back of his hand, very organized, and the student knows exactly what to expect on tests.

I'm taking him now for anatomy. he is a great teacher. very helpful. ask all the questions you want. tests are hard but if you study you can definetly get an A. He hands out packets of info and everything on the tests are from the packets. no homework. just STUDY!

A very good teacher. He breaks concepts down and puts them back together for you in a clear, concise way. The lecture notes give you all the information youll need. Tests are long but straightforward.

I enjoyed his class very much! He lectures very well and I loved his sense of humor. He is extremely organized, even provides you with printed notes. Tests are very straigthforward, no tricky questions. There are more than a 100 questions on the test so even if you miss several you still can get a good grade. Overall, quality instructor!

Requires consistent attention and a lot of time due to the material, but that's expected. Fair and crystal clear - he GIVES you very organized notes, and your job is to learn them. Tests are long but fair. Show up, do your part, and he is great about answering questions. If you're constantly late or unprepared, he's less inclined to help.

I'm in the class right now. He has his odd quirks, but he is very clear about what he expects from his students. Text book is only needed for lab. He provides typed notes, lab list, and a study review that he goes over in class. Show up to class, it helps, but DON'T BE LATE! He hates that!!!

He knows his stuff and is crystal clear in what he expects you to learn. He has a dry sense of humor that offended some students and that others really enjoyed. Just do exactly what he says, study hard, and you'll be fine.

Prof Alsup is a great teacher. He's very clear in what he wants you to know for the test. He gives you a packet of notes(ALOT of info)per unit, and textbook is only used as a lab manual. Tests are straight forward. No tricks. Not an easy A, but just memorize everything on his notes, pay attention in class (GO to class) and you'll make an A!

Requires correct spelling and "Slash rule" (writing out both words if he has a slash in the notes) for write-out answers, but he is very clear on what is on the test and how he wants you to regurgitate it. The book is only used for pictures, which is nice but expensive for not needing it for your exams.

Professor Alsup is excellent! I have him for Anatomy right now and it is definitely the hardest class I have ever taken but you can do well. Just go to class and study your butt off. Definitely take Alsup! He is very fair and clear about his expectations.

Very good professor. Well organized lectures, he provides detailed outlines of each section and is very clear about what information is on the exam. Anatomy is a very hard class and you have to study a ton and spend extra time in the labs to prep for exams. Also, be punctual if you want him to like you!

Definitely recommend Professor H. He is highly organized and clear in his expectations, which is incredibly helpful in a detail-intensive course like Anatomy. He is also a fair grader, and has a very dry sense of humor that I and some others in my class appreciated.

Pro H is great. Tough but fair. Don't talk in his class. Very dry and weird sense of humor, but funny! Didn't use the book much at all, but you'll need it for reference. He gives you the notes and they are very precise and clear. His lecture exams are very tough and long. Study a lot and you'll do well.

I would definitely recommend Professor Alsup. The class was hard, and incredibly time consuming, but I never had to wonder what was expected or what I should be studying because he is very clear about that. It wasn't an easy A by any stretch of the imagination, but I worked really hard and did get an A. His INCREDIBLY dry sense of humor was great.

I spent a lot of time in open lab and after hearing what everyone was saying about their prof's I am THRILLED I took Alsup! He was very clear about the info he expected you to know. The book was only used for the pictures and he gives notes for everything else. DON'T BE LATE TO CLASS AND DON'T TALK IN CLASS. Nice guy albeit a little strange

You are a faster learner take this guy. he will give you all you need to excell even pre typed notes and practice quiz , make no mistakes you have to study hard. lengthy tests but he tells you what will be on test.he will sacrifice his weekend to help those who need help. Now if you are a slow learner go for DR. Juarez.

great professor! if you are a fast learner take him if not take Dr. Juarez. Both professors are great in their own way and will make you succeed. Prof H will sacrifice his Sat if u need help

Prof. H is awesome! took the same class with Ziser an failed. retook with alsup and got a B. He is very helpful an puts forth as much effort as you do. Lectures are very clear. Stay for lab and you will do much better.

Professor H is a great teacher. He tells you exactly what is on the tests and even provides you with pre-typed notes. He has the driest sense of humor too. If I could, I take him again for any class.

Lectures- clear, precisely worded lectures based on notes he gives you. Twisted sense of humor I enjoyed greatly. Not totally necessary to attend every lecture for A, but he provides mnemonic techniques to help. Tests- Fair, clear expectations, gives clues to help. Overall- one of my favorite teachers after 2 previous degrees.

Great teacher! He knows exactly what he's talking about. You can tell he really wants to help all his student learn. He is very strict in rules and testing but that's understandable. His sense of humor is also great. He's a sweet guy and will show he appreciates his student in sweet ways.

One of the best professors I've ever had! He provides you with the notes and goes through everything during lecture. Take him if you're serious about pre/med or nursing school. He's a very respectable guy and wants his students to succeed. Plus, he was a witty sense of humor you grow to love.

Alsup is fairly strict about classroom behavior, but he tells you exactly what he wants. He's fair about his tests and gives you all the information you need weeks in advance so you have plenty of time to study. A bit of an eccentric, but awesome. Highly recommend him for anatomy!

Professor was very well organized and explained things thoroughly! Study his lecture notes. Only used book for pictures. If you dont understand something just ask him. He is wants to help and shows he cares about his students.

You have to put in a lot of time for this class if you want a decent grade. He has an odd sense of humor but he knows what he's talking about. Don't be afraid to ask for help because he will clarify anything you don't understand.

Took this as my first college class and got an A! I'm only 16 but worked hard for my grade and I hope earned Prof. H's respect by the end. He tells you what he wants and is extremely fair in grading. I didn't ask him for help, only the people in my class. Your fellow students are key!

It is tough. It is not impossible. We lost about half the class at the drop date, but those that were left love this class. He provides all the lecture and lab notes; all you need your book for is the pictures. He explains concepts clearly, but it's fast-paced and you will need to learn the concepts or you'll be doing a lot of memorizing later on.

Anything you can be tested over, you should've already seen before the test. He provides you with very specific lecture noteslab list (book is only for pictures.) All BIOL 2404 courses work. Not the sweetest fellow - thicken your skin and learn to be amused. He is highly intelligent, and wants you to be, too. I would take this professor again.

He lecures staight from his lecture notes that are posted on blackboard. He gives a little extra credit if you show up to every disection and test on time. Lecture and lab tests are long but straight from notes. He grades tests very fast and answers emails fast. Anatomy is a hard class to being with, no teacher is going to make it easy.

He's a good teacher. lec Straight from notes W overhead projector. (Yeah, theyre still around) detailed, need book for pictures. Lots of terms and clinical diseases. Has "slash rule" memorize multiple names for 1 concept. Points off if you put them out of order. great verbatim memory? Take him. Visual interactive learner Don't! Tests160+?'s

Anatomy is not an easy course. There is a lot of reading and studying for this class and if you don't put the time and effort in don't expect an a. He does a great job of giving you exactly what you need to study and what you need to know. I took before with another professor and dropped. Luckily his method of teaching is great for someone like me!

Quirky sense of humor. Provides clear lecture and lab notes - learn these! Book is for photos & pics - helps a lot. Recommend you record his lectures to listen to while studying. Wish I could take him for every class. Earned A, but studied hard. Lab is your time to learn, and he is quick to help when asked. Highly recommend.

Topic it self is hard with any professor, so much to memorize, he is pretty straight forward but no extra credit in anyway just what u get on exam is what u get, be ready to work you will fall behind if ur not on it. Tx book only for pictures, just memorize all 30 pg notes and ur good!!! Good luck

Awesome professor, I want to take him for all my classes! Presents anatomy in an interesting, engaging way, and has a great sense of humor. Is extremely helpful in clarifying course material. Anatomy is a hard course, but you can do it!

LOTS of studying! Started semester w/ 24 people... ended with 16. I think about 5 of us made As. He gives you 30-40 pages of notes and you have to learn it all for each test. Lots of material, but no surprises. He's eccentric and gets off topic and still uses a slide projector (!), but I'd take him again because material (and grading) is clear.

Prof. H is a good teacher. He supplies you with all the tools to make an A in his class. You will not have to take notes as he provides those so you can focus on lecture. There will not be a chance to make up group or lab work so don't skip class. He would be a great teacher if he offered extra credit so I give him a 4 out of 5.

Study study study! But overall awesome profesor

Class was hard but professor was fair. He gives you everything you need to succeed in the lecture notes. If you study them you will get an A. There's no excuse when you bomb an exam. You just didn't study.

His expectations are clear. The class materials are well-organized and easy to follow. The class is challenging (a lot of material to cover) but well worth it. He cares that students have a good foundation. Made flashcards with Anki program covering all the notes and I did well. Hes pretty funny, too.

7 out of 22 students survived. Exams can reach 120+ questions, not including his lab tests (50+). He takes points off for spelling. Lecture exams are based off notes (24-31 pgs each). If you just want to pass, focus on his study guide. But for an A, you also have to study the notes until you can recite even "minor details". Does know his stuff tho

Professor H is kind, compassionate and is genuinely invested in seeing students succeed grade wise - but most importantly, he wants students to actually have learned something in his class. He is a thoughtful person who knows his stuff and makes a seemingly complex subject like anatomy accessible for students - I highly recommend his class.

This course is challenging, with 5 unit exams and 5 lab tests. Punctuality is critical—no late arrivals or disruptions. Success (A or B) requires studying lecture notes at least 4 hours a day, 5 days a week. Many students underestimate the workload; only 9 of 23 finished. No curves, no extra credit, and spelling counts. Good luck!
