This is the only class he teaches at Santa Fe. He is clearly not interested in the success of his students, it appears he is only here for the extra money. Does not allow review of tests. Moves up the test dates leaving little time to study. Tests are worded obscurely and too much information is covered per test. 5 or more chapters per unit.

If you want to learn Anatomy, like many of us nursing majors NEED because we are going to use this forever, DO NOT take him. You will come out of this class having learned absolutly nothing!

Well, if you don't like to attend school and you like to learn on your own, this is certainly the class for you! You will gain more knowledge not even wasting your time to go to class and study on your own. Reads DIRECTLY from powerpoint, which most people can do at their own desks. I have a C but may take it again, since I learned NOTHING.

DON'T TAKE MITCHELL IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER CLASSES! To learn anything you have to teach yourself at home. But attendance is a grade on its own so you have to attend his classes. Also, he makes tests unbelievably difficult even though A&P is hard enough on its own! The departmental final is easier than any of his tests.

The bulk of work is placed on the student which is fine if you have a few semesters under your belt and are a self-starter/motivator, have had some bio classes prior. Not highly recommended but helpful if you have tough skin. Only take with 1 other class if you can manage. Adjusts test scores after scored, sometimes a grade-saving opportunity.

THe class is tough because of the amount of material covered. He knows his subject and does a good job forwarding his knowledge onto his students. The tests were hard but fair and he gives ample extra credit to boost your grade. Only problem I thought was that we were on our own during the lab portion making difficult to excel in lab practicals.

Good guy. Very entertaining and gives lots of help when you ask. Doesn't assign a lot of pointless homework all of it helps you on the test. Lab is kinda boring.

If you don't print out the notes, you're screwed since he just flies through the power points during class. His teaching is not clear at all.

Tests are hard, but he offers a lot of extra credit that brings up your grade. He adds a lot to his powerpoints during lecture that you need to know for tests. The book is needed for labs, but I never really used it to study for tests. Most material was from the powerpoint and lecture. Crash Course videos on youtube really helped me do better.

Israel was a great guy, but teacher not so much. He just reads off the textbook generated power points, and does not provide any in depth info on the material. Lab was pointless, he didnt go over any of the models. Also, the tests were not really relevant to the material presented. However, he was fair with grading and making adjustments in class.

Best professor EVERRR! I highly recommend taking his class for anatomy 1 or really anything he teaches! sadly he doesnt teach anatomy 2 so I won't be able to have him again, but if I get the chance to have him as a professor for another subject then I would choose him in a heart beat. DONT THINK ABOUT IT, JUST REGISTER FOR HIS CLASS.

He does work with you. His take home quizzes and reviews are such a great thing to get your grade up if you're not a good test taker! You're going to struggle if you don't show up to class. I would take this class again. A&P is such a stressful class no matter what so taking a strict or uptight teacher would be terrible. I recommend

Great prof lectures are full of information. Lot to take in but very thorough. Chapters have review questions(homework)= study guide for tests. Take home quizzes,(homework). Things said in lecture will be on exams, very clear about what & when things are due, and expectations for assignments. Uses good examples, very interactive during labs.

Professor Mitchell was amazing! His tests are 50% lecture and 50% from the take home quizzes (which you can use your notes) and PowerPoint slide questions. Tests aren't my strong suit but as long as you do good on the homework's and take home quizzes you'll be just fine! This was honestly the best professor I've had!

Professor Mitchell is actually a really good anatomy professor if you're willing to pay attention during lectures. If you're reading the slides, you don't get as much explanation when not in class, even though attendance is optional. He is very understanding and a well spoken lecturer. I would 100% take him for A&P 2 as well, if I could. Great guy.

He is by far one of the best teachers i've had. He really cares about what he's talking about and wants the student to succeed. Attendance is not mandatory but it's encouraged because just reading off his slides aren't enough. His take home quizzes and powerpoint questions really help on his exams. He truly wants his students to succeed.

Tests are pretty hard just make sure you study because he doesn't give any study guides. His lectures are good just make sure you take notes and look back at them before tests. He gives some extra credit opportunities as well.

Professor Mitchell is great, all the exams are clear in what to study. Homework is helpful and clear grading criteria. Overall, if you pay attention to lectures and the THQ you will succeed. He makes a hard subject easier to process!!

Professor Mitchell is good at teaching, he truley knows what he is talking about. He can sometimes get off topic a little but overall he is pretty good about staying on topic. He does not give study guides, so you really need to listen and take notes in class also review the THQ's.

He is a good overall teacher. He is friendly with the students and helps as much as he can. As long as you pay attention in lectures, take notes, and review the take home quizzes then you will do good on the exams.

Professor Israel Mitchell for Anatomy & Physiology 2085 is an amazing instructor. He is extremely knowledgeable and genuinely wants his students to succeed.

He is a great professor and wants his students to succeed. Attendance is not mandatory, but it is helpful to attend to be able to understand the material in the notes. If you study the THQ questions and powerpoint questions and the notes, you will be good for the tests. He also gives you extra credit opportunities.

There are group projects which are just mainly about answering questions. For the lecture, the teacher will show powerpoint presentation; when you attend lectures, usually he will tell you what would not be on the test. You do not need to buy the lab manual if you don't want cause he has them in the module.

I would take him again and I highly recommend!
