Awesome teacher! He will make you learn the information. Very Funny!!!
Very difficult, but you do learn. I heard other teachers are much easier. The amount of information you need to know/memorize is staggering, and if you're not planning on being my future nurse, take a easier teacher.
The guy to take for nursing majors, pre med, bio majors, but the rest plz stay away. He is hard and his tests are harder. Very clear and makes u work hard for ur grade, be ready to put in a lot of time into this course
As said below, he is a difficult professor... probably the most difficult on campus, but you will learn and will surpass others in clinicals, no doubt. This class will take a lot of time, the equivalent of 3 classes of work, but it pays off.
HARD WORK!! But makes himself available for students more than any other professor I know. He is in the learning center in the eves to help students and even offers extra lab on sunday. Sometimes I think he lives on campus. Very resptected doc in my book.
Anatomy and Physiology is a hard subject..but with prof.stittsworth and all the packets he gives you..u will really learn alot!it's alot of work!but if your majoring on something that requires knowledge on this class.. Take HIM!!!Ü
Took him for A&P 1 and 2 and highly recommend him if you don't mind working hard. I learned more in his class than any other. Very helpful, always there but not the easiest teacher. If you are looking for an easy A. He's not for you.
He expects a lot from his students, so be prepared to do all of the work, and then some. You will leave the class with more knowledge than most other Anatomy courses.
BE PREPARED TO STUDY YOUR LIFE AWAY, DO NOT TAKE ANY OTHER HARD COURSES WITH THIS ONE. IT REQUIRES EVERY BIT OF BRAIN CELLS ONE MIGHT HAVE.I DID GET AN A.
Best teacher of my life. I'm a Finance major and this man did more for me than any other prof I have had. His class is hard and he can seem hard, but he does care about his students. Be prepared to work and actually learn. It's hard work, but worth it.
Incredible teacher. He gives you everything you need to pass his class and more. Always ready to help. If you are willing to put in the study time required then take him, if not then don't waste his time or yours. GREAT teacher
I took this course one year ago, and have found that I have retained most of the knowledge I have learned in this class! The hard work is definately worth it, and I believe that if you can succeed in this class, you can handle anything!
PERSONALLY I DON'T FEEL THAT HE IS A GOOD TEACHER. IF YOU HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO DO BUT STUDY THEN OK BUT IF YOU HAVE A FAMILY AND CHILDREN HE IS NOT THE TEACHER.

Anyone who thinks any less of this professor, is a lazy ass student who should not be in college!This professor is available 6 days a week on top of class time, he doesn't give you the answer, he leads you in the right direction, you will learn alot and retain it.
I have learned more from this professor than from any of my "easy" professors. If a person doesn't do well in his class, then there is no way in hell they'll make it through the nursing program. The people who are struggling want the exam taught, and don't want tho learn the material
If you're looking to learn the material b/c you're going into the health field, then he's your prof. He's literally always around to help. If you slide by with easy classes learning nothing, wrong class. Plan on failing later in nursing school, etc. Grades shouldn't be given, they should be earned.
Great teacher. Makes us work hard for our grades. Holds nothing back and is very helpful. He expects nothing but the best from his students. He's tough, but makes us learn and is very amusing. I look forward to his stories which puts a smile on everyone. He makes the lessons lighter.
Great teacher. Be prepared to work. (I am taking 4 classes but I am still at the library with my study group fo rthis class 4 days a week)I get A's on the tests but that is because I work for them. Great teacher for the health field, very fun.

First of all he doesn't fail the student, the student fails themself. And second, so what if his comments are 'off-color', we are all adults here and he's one of few professors that treat us as such. He's a great teacher who expects you to know your material. If you feel otherwise find a new career.
He is the ONLY teacher I've met that goes out of his way, even meeting on Sundays, to help you learn your material. Does not "give" grades, he makes YOU think for yourself and expects YOUR best. He is what a teacher is suppose to be: FAIR. He is funny, honest, and an all around good guy.
Ridiculous teacher! Most of his class time is spent telling you stories that relate nothing to the lesson. Time is spent listening to his sexual innuendos, therefore our lecture runs over into lab. No hands on labs! Be prepared to teach yourself. You are responsible for chapters not covered in class
The people who left negative comments for Dr Stittsworth are upset because he expects us to know our material. This is a hard class!! He is a great teacher and when you finish this class you will know the material. Anyone going into the med feild needs to take Dr. Stittsworth's class.
To make this clear before you read this i am not a lazy student, i work hard for my grades but sometimes his tests are rediculous.. about 12 pages each! Dont expect to be able to sit around and study whenever you want to ,.. you have to do it all the time, Anatomy becomes your LIFE in this class!!!!

Forget about the negativity of what you may read on this site. Dr. Stittsworth is the best! Sure, his tests are difficult, but so is the study of Anatomy! He shows a genuine concern for all his students, even the ones with negative comments - grow up people! I enjoyed all the stories!
Very intelligent man, but not a good teacher. Walking away from this class, I feel like I am not ready for A&P2. He will help students, on the weekends. Most of his stories have no relation to class. We did no labs,except for the lab book exercises we did on our own. Just be prepared for this class.
This was a very difficult class for me, but I really appreciated Dr. Stittsworth making me work hard to learn this information. I am scheduled to take him for Anatony 2. He knows this information and he is very helpful if you go to him wanting to learn.
This is a difficult class to begin with and Dr. Stittsworth made it even more so.I am not one to complain about difficulty but I felt like I crammed for everything and never had time to actually sit down and learn the material.He knows his stuff but does not know how to present it to a class.
I can honestly say that I EARNED an "A" in his class! It IS possible to make an "A". If you want to be in the medical field, and you think this is hard, then I don't want you as my doctor or nurse in the future! He was very helpful and I would take him again in the future.
Smart guy. Terrible teaching style. Expects YOU to work ahead, be HE falls behind and isn't able to teach the last 5 chapters leading up to a&p 2. Punishes his classes for mean things written on this site. Labs are extra long lecture days. We didn't do ANYTHING in lab. Tests are ridiculous.
Very awesome professor! He is very knowledgeable and is willing to help anyone who will help themselves. Grades are earned, not given. If you are a slacker..beware of this class!!

Exactly,he covered the topics on the weekend.Well, I work on the weekend! He needs to follow his syllabus and not get so side tracked. Is intelligent, but not a good teacher. You do have to work very hard in this class, but you shouldnt have to teach yourself most of the class!
OK everyone... If you want an easy A this is NOT the class for you. We covered a few chaps on the wkend but, if you are complaining about that I hope to God you are not going to medical school. Dr. Stittsworth is one of the best profs I've had. Trust me, I've already been to a University.
Dr. Stittsworth is a fabulous, caring, and brilliant professor. He's not for the 18-20 year old student fresh out of high school who lacks maturity and discipline. He is by far the best professor that I have had. I just wish I didn't have to drop his class. I hope you get your trike.
Horrible teaching, talks about his personal life way too much, always behind, his policy is for high school kids. Gives late assignments and expects us to have them completed in half of the time. I would not recommend him to anyone who is going in healthcare.
Horriable. The tests are super hard. He doesn't go over anything. The test are every 5 chapters and he expects you to know the whole book. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!!!
He cares and wants us to learn. You do need a high level of maturity and you must work very hard. If you study like you should, you can get an A, but you must study and stay ahead. He gives you all the tools you need to succeed,but you must be willing to work.You definitely learn in this class.
We have had three tests so far this semester and they were only 3 chap each.He gives a review for the test(you have to look up the material--that is how you learn!).Just because lecture time is behind doesn't mean you have to get behind.A&P is hard with any teacher-study,you will get an A if you do.
I love this class and the teacher. His stories make the lectures more interesting. What is wrong with you people? He will not hand you anything and rightly so. Work and earn your grade. Stop your whinning and your complaining and get the book out and read. Good job Dr. Stittsworth!
Very helpful and very caring.If you are struggling then go talk to him, he will help you.He is very approachable and willing to help.Listen to him the first day of class, he will tell you what you need to do to get a good grade.You will need to work hard, but it is possible to get an A.
Started the class with 30plus, now only 6. If you work hard you will do fine. If you don't you will fail. Not a bad guy. Must me mature to listen to his stories. His review for the test are the test. Still alot of info.
Took him for A&P I He is a hard teacher, if you are going into med. you will know your stuff. I didn't goto the weekend sessions for the make up work and still passed with an A if you do the work you and study for his tests, he tells what to study, you will learn and do well.

This has been my all-time favorite class. Dr. S taught us so much and let me tell you, he can be tough as nails - but that is just a front. The guy is a teddy bear. Study your little heart out and use those index cards! having a study group helped tremendously. This class should be mandatory for anyone who walks and talks. Good luck.
He made us work. He said he would teach us everything we needed to know for the nursing program. Now I am in and glad I took him instead of an easier teacher. There were a few things I could have done without, but he was more helpful than anything.
He puts his lectures online and talks straight from them. He tells you what will be on the test, but talks fast and hates repeating his self! I recommend a recorder for this class!! Tests are extremely hard, but I did come out of the class with an A. You will EARN the grade you get in his class! Be prepared to study not stop!!!
REALLY cool guy. his tests are pretty hard though, you really have to study. its not too bad if you pay attention and study like almost every night. but he also gives u a chance for xtra credit if you fail a test.
this professor is not going to GIVE you a grade, you have to earn them. Study, and do the work and you'll be fine, but I would not recommend this class on a full course load...studing is the key. He has a great personality and is very knowlegeable.
This is a hard class, but if you stay caught up on the material and study for the tests you will do fine. His study guides tell you exactly what will be on the test, and he is always willing to work with you if you need help. I got an A and learned a ton, but it is not an easy class.
you have to be interested in learning. pay attention in class. this is not an easy class but its not what other students make it out to be. he gives you everything that you need to get an A. dnt be in the med field if you cnt handle this class i wouldnt want to be your patient. make sure you have study group.
The key word for passing this class is STUDY. It doesn't matter if the teacher is "hard" or not. If you don't study, you won't pass. Dr. Stittsworth gives you all the information you need to succeed plus more. I highly recommend him to anyone taking a&p. Just make sure to never say "hey you" or "stittsworth" to him b/c you'll be ignored!
I made an A in both courses. He's an amazing professor who cares about his students. He even has study meetings on the weekends for anyone needing extra help. I highly recommend him to anyone wanting to learn, and not just enough to pass the class! He's very approachable and extremely funny! I only wish he taught other courses!
He is a great teacher, The key to the class is you have to study hard because his test are hard!!!!! but he is willing to help you if you ask but you have to try , you have to earn your grade he dont give anything, You will know more than enough once its all over with, so take him and you will be prepared for the RN program
beware this teacher teaches off pwr pt. he know his stuff, but be prepared his pace NEVER matches his course outline. you will feel like you are behind. tests are hard, but he does give a study guide to what is on the test. avg test 150 quest. you will have a lot of studying. gives you tons of information and will help you.
Great prof! I learned all of my studying skills from him. I got an "A" both times, but I studied like mad. I'm in the RN program now and everything has come around full circle. We go over the same things over and over, especially in pharmacology. Don't get rid of your book...you will be refering to it often. We need more nurses!! Good luck!
Something is wrong with this professor...he made us learn, and I did not want to learn!!! I knew I should have taken up basket weaving!!! I recommend anyone getting into the medical field to take this professor…unless you plan on working in the morgue, than take whoever you want!
Dr. Stittsworth is a really hard teacher. He can be sarcastic and I was scared to ask him questions in or out of class. If you have free time to devote to studying, this is the class for you, if not, I wouldn't suggest taking him. You have to work hard for your grade.
I didn't like this professor. He seems to irritate me more than anyone. If you don't like to participate in oral sessions, where you say the health term over and over and over...don't take this professor. He got after me because I wasn't feeling good and didn't feel like participating. It should be my choice since I'm an adult, don't you think?
Only take class if you plan on being an M.D. University of Florida medical school might be easier. Was helpful but didn't teach anything, you pretty much teach yourself since you have to memorize the entire textbook (literally).
I took him for a/p2 and relized the worksheets were alot of work but, they were the best tool to memorize the chapters. Hes not tough just getting students ready for there clinical courses by exposing us to the reality that were are college students and need to shut up and work hard. extra credit is given. Lectures are amusing. He is intimidating b
I have to say that Professor Stittsworth gives encouragement to students that he knows that have the ability to do well in the class. I encourage anyone that is going to any type of medical area to take this professors he goes overboard with his information and encourage you to think out of the box. He gives extra credit.
I love professor stittsworth!!!He always has funny little stories that help you remember pieces of info when it comes time for a test. He is always in a good mood and likes to joke around a lot. He gives a lot of packets and information that are very helpful on tests, and droped 6 quizzes for the class I took. I wish I could take him again!!!!
Prof Stittsworth actually makes you work, so don't take his class if you are a slacker! I didn't miss a single day throughout A&P 1 and 2. He's hilarious and really makes the class fun. Definitely take him if you have a sense of humor and are willing to do a bit of your own thinking!!!
he wasn't that great at breaking down the outline and he played favorites. if you decide to take him make sure you go to every class, don't play around because if it atleast seems like your trying he'll help you out in the end. for my class alot of people just stopped showing up and hardly anybody came for the final so he gave everybody an openbook
I tried to do well not only for my own sake, I tried to do well because I didn't want to be judged by him. He acknowledged me as someone who is smart and supported me for what Im trying to become.
Great professor for LEARNING the material. I can actually say I earned my "A". He actually wants to see his students succeed! If he repeats it...write it down! Gives out a lot of study material. They require lots of reading...but, you WILL learn the material. He KNOWS his stuff!! He's tough...but fair. Thanks Dr. Stittsworth!
One of the greatest in his field. Extremely knowledgeable. Will definitely take him for A&P II.
I just took this class and it was not difficult at all!! I took it for A & P II and I thought that it was easy!! He gives ALOT of worksheets but if you turn them in after the test he don't even check them! And go when he does the review!! IT IS WHAT IS EXACTLY ON THE TEST!!! NOT HARD!! Don't be scared!! I was at first and I got a HIGH A!!
his lec. are fast and done on ppt. He laid out exams for us and if u make a study sheet for it youll be fine. He grades on a point scale, do the packet, its like 100 questions long for each chapter but it helps your learning and questions are taken from them for the exams. Stay on top of your reading and get into a study group youll need it.
This guy is terrible. don't take his class unless you want to learn only about his personal life. He doesn't care about the success of the students and could less about teaching. He believes he is there to collect a paycheck and doesn't care of you pass or not.
Best teacher of my life. I'm a pre-law major and this man did more for me than any other prof I have had. His class is hard and he can seem hard, but he does care about his students. Be prepared to work and actually learn. It's hard work, but worth it.
This guy really cares about his students, to say that he doesnt is a plain lie. I hve never tried so hard in my life, but that is only because he drives you to do well.It is tough but doable if you are a serious student, if you are looking for a free A, please dear God dont go in the medical field!
He is an absolute jerk. He doesn't care about anything other then making himself look like a hard and tough teacher. He gives a ridiculus amount of work. I would never recommend his class to anyone!!!
What a joke! I would not recommend this professor to anyone! The labs are a total joke..he claims he doesn't "do much" with the labs because he's not "paid" enough..told a student to "shut the f**k up" in class..very unprofessional..just a tenured professor biding his time..many complaints against this professor, but years speak louder than words
Great professor! Sarcastic sense of humor, always has jokes and funny stories to make class more interesting. This man is accomplished! The class isn't easy, but he helps you as much as he can, and is always willing to answer ques. Taking him again for A&PII. Go to every class, stay the whole time, do the study packets and homework. Thanks Dr S!!!
I took Dr.Stittsworth for AP I & II and would happily take him again. His class is fun, challenging, & worth every penny. It's a prereq for anything medical; it is not meant to be easy. The material is tough & there's lots of it. YOU HAVE TO STUDY & WORK HARD. Those that complain should seriously change majors. GREAT TEACHER!
At first he was intimidating, but once I learned his style of teaching I couldnt go wrong on his exams. There is a ton of work but that should be expected. Gives Study guides to tests..Labs are easy.. Tons of studying , but I feel confident in the material and am prepared for nursing as far as this class is concerned. I got an A!
Professor Stittsworth is a wonderful and very educated teacher. His classes are not a cake walk, but when you are going to the medical profession, then you should want to learn everything you possibly can. I took him for Anatomy I & II, and got an A in both. He is very interesting, and keeps you on your toes by telling funny stories. TAKE HIM!!
Just note that all the bad comments on here are from students that dropped out because they were looking for a class where you wouldn't work. Professor S is a fabulous teacher that keeps the students laughing...there is nothing wrong with that.
Highly recommend!Gives you every chance possible to make an A.Puts extra credit in every hmwrk,test,etc,so that you don't even realize you are getting it.Gives you a review to know what is on the test.The subject is hard, not the professor,don't get it confused!It's intimidating in the beginning, but once you get it,can easily make an A!
Another great semester with Dr. S! He is prob my fave prof of all time. Interesting, engaging, helpful, he wants you to do well and does everything he can to help you. Must go to every class and do all the work assigned. I can't say enough good things, and will actually miss going to class. His is the only class I've looked forward to each week.
There is no in between with this guy; you either love him or despise him. As others have said on here, Stittsworth does not give you a grade...you must earn your grade. He can be sarcastic at times, but don't take it personally. That's just him. You will learn from him and he will keep you interested in the class.
Great pofessor! great guy! Do the work, go to class, find study partners and you will do fine. He gives you plenty of chances to prove yourself. If you slack off, dont expect him to help you. Very funny and enjoyable class.
On the first day he tells you everything about his life! His outlines and quizzes help a lot! STUDY for the test! He will tell you everything that is going to be on the test the week before! He definitely picks favorites! He is an evolutionist and wants to pick debates with you on it! Gets off topic really easily! HATE THAT!!
Dr. Stittsworth is a great teacher. You either love him or hate him, but he tells you day 1 what to expect from him. You have to work for your grade, b/c the material is demanding. He'll help you, though, if you're trying. He really cares about his students learning the material, & he tells you exactly what to study for exams. Will take for A&P II!
This class is not easy no matter who you take. This teacher does not teach he just passes out sheets to read, labs to color, and speeds through lectures.He picks his favorites in his class and may give some people info that he didnt give the whole class. He does give u an idea of what to study for the exam but u have to study 5 diff references or
I am very glad I took Human Biology with proffesor S. at the beggining of the class I was intimidated and he seemed to be tought but as the time passes I realized that he was very helpful. All his HW, quizes and Tests are easy as long as you read all the chapters and attend class all the time. I highly recommend this teacher. Learned a lot.
Dr. Stittsworth is an interesting character. I think he enjoys acting like a hard teacher. He knows his material and expects his students to learn on their own. He provides a multitutde of info for assistance. Attend class, do your work, and enjoy learning the material. It is tough but at least he cares about his students gaining knowledge.
Human Biology is not his main priority. He's more interested in teaching whats he considers his more important classes. So he doesn't really do much teaching. His lectures are EXTREMELY boring, the labs are pointless(50% coloring), and the tests are really hard but they're online so openbook. His class is passable but takes a lot of effort.
He is a great professor. I am in his anatomy class now, and I will be taking him for anatomy 2. I really lik his teaching techniques, he gives you a study guide a wk before the test and its exactally whats on the test. Just study that and you'll do fine. I like this prof.
At first I thought that his class was really hard, but he really wants you to get a good grade and he gives you everything you need to get an A in his class. When i took him he incorporated "secret" extra credit into the hwk and with the labs. He he even gave extra credit on some days of attendance. Trust me, take him!He will meet and help you!
He's a great professor and knows what he's talking about due to his 20+ years of background in Science. I took him for Human Biology, and will admit he's teaching more of an AP1 or AP2 level. All his quizzes and tests are online open book. No final exam. Labs are a bit boring but fun. Lots of work, you'll need to study hard to earn that A!
Currently taking this Professor I have to say that he really knows his stuff. He will get the information out to you IT'S YOUR JOB AS A STUDENT to actually study and know that material. If you have any problems go to him during his office hours he WILL HELP YOU you just have to go. He does care for his students but you have to do your part too.
This teacher was horrible. I would not recommend him to anyone. The only thing i would say is his study guides help thats about it.Took him weeks to give back tests & lectures are so boring. Everyone stopped going to class. You teach yourself everything.
Proessor S tells what he expects from day one. This class isnt for the lazy students. You have to work hard to make an A. I did! quizzes are online and he gives study guide for every test but the 5th one (group test) you color and label pictures to learn and get practice packets from BB. Good Luck!
Hard professor.Takes 5% of of grade for every class missed.By the second month people stop showing up to class.Like others have said,you pretty much just teach yourself.Do not take this professor if you're looking for an easy A,B,or C.
good professor!took him for a&p 1 and 2.his class isnt for lazy people,do the work! i will miss his class 4 tests,online quizzes,and homework for every chapter, plus handouts,but gives reviews for the tests,and if you use them,you should do fine!packets on BB help too, and the quizzes he gives are the same mutiple choice as on the tests.GOOD LUCK!!
I have learned an assortment of information in this class. I have enjoyed learning about the things that I did not know of. If he had not helped me I would have given up quit the class. However, he was willing to help me understand better. Thanks,for taking to helping.If you do what he has ask of you.Come to class you will do fine.. GREAT JOB
The subject is though and if you go on into the medical field you need to know your A&P. This professor will make sure you have the knowledge and preperation you need. Show up for class, do your work and behave like a college student all this will get you pretty close to an A. It is possible to get an A and be in Phy1020C+Mac1105.
This class is hard. You NEED to study in order to at least make a C. Don't take this class at all if you have no interest in pursuing a degree in the madical field.
This class is far from a cake walk. It takes hours of studying and homework in order to make an A. Dr. Stittsworth does, however, prepare you for exams.
Won't be taking him again. Learned nothing in lectures. He read from powerpoints and did not teach. I could have missed every lecture class and stayed home & taught myself more than he taught me. It took him 8 weeks to give all back labs & a while to get homework & tests back. Don't recommend if you want to actually learn & understand the material
Honestly the most knowledgeable professor on campus. Yes you need to read the book to understand the material, but you get out of this class what you put into it. Others do not like due to being lazy not a class for an easy A,but it is attainable if you really try and learn. Highly recommend to anyone that wants to suceed in their future profession
This professor totally sucks! I would not recommend him to anyone. It is the beginning of a new semester and I still haven't recieved my grade yet. He is slow when it comes returning things. He never stays in the class for lab, you are basically on your own when it come to that. I usually enjoy all my teachers but this guy is absolutely the worst!
I loved this professor! Hes not hard gives you all the exam questions up front before the exam so you can look them up. I took him for A&P 1 and 2 got A's in both barley studied. great professor! He did take forever to give graded stuff back. He leaves the classroom all the time, so you can do whatever you want basically. Loved it.
Gave a lot of busy work. You could kinda tell he had more priority for his A&P classes over Humna Bio. All his tests were online and allowed for 2 attempts so it wasn't that hard of a class, just very boring and tedious.
Fantastic professor and mentor. His tests are a challenge; yet they push the dedicated student. Is an incredibly knowledgeable man, and he wants his students to really know the material. Is somewhat "hands off" and he is slow to grade assignments. His flaws are slight, and his skill at his job is immense. To this 4.0 student he is the best.
Not an easy class, but if you stick with it you will know the materiel and be ready for the next class and have a better understanding of A&P.
If you're looking for an easy class, you have no business in human medicine. Although cynical and probably certifiable, he's one of the best professors I've ever taken. He will provide you with everything you need to know about human anatomy. Studying is a must (human anatomy duh) but the environment is laid back and everyone loves the class.
This professor his horrible. He purposely tries to make the class as hard as possible.He does not teach,heflips through slides during class and you learn nothing. He is very vague with directions and gets angry if you ask questions. He uses inappropriate language in class and talks down to the studentsYour on your own in lab becasue he leave class
had him for human biology. lectures came straight from the book, so dont worry about missing out on anything important. lab was ok, couldnt do half of them but the ones i did do was fun.as teacher, he is easy. just show up,take tests and do labs...do not leave early or you wont be marked as attending class (if you care about your attendence)
If you haven't taken a science class with Dr. Stittsworth, you've definitely missed out. Those who engage and participate in class will have fun and learn. If you have questions, ask - he is a true mentor and a wealth of information and experience. He will go out of his way to help you succeed, IF you are serious about learning.
He's funny. Theres alot of busy work, such as assignments, and labs. Overall do the work, attend class and you'll pass. He's a little all over the place but if you show your trying he will help. Sometimes he will post 3-4 quizzes at a time. But if you dont mind busy work hes great.
Mr. Stittsworth's class was very hard, and it involved a lot of studying and work. His study guides for exams were written horribly, and they were hard to understand. Also, lectures were very boring and long. His horrible sarcastic jokes reflect on how bad his class was.
This professor is very helpful. However, requires you to do a lot of busy work such as homework, quizzes, labs, case studies. Very, VERY sarcastic. Good luck trying to get a straight answer for a class related quiestion. But you will learn so much in the class. Studying for health care, this class is very useful and helpful. Gives review sheet.
Absolutely the worst online professor I have ever had. Waited until the last week of class to grade anything and had not responded to any questions for over a month. His directions are unclear and often appear in multiple places and contradict each other, when asked for clarification he simply said the directions were available online.
Never replies to your questions, never grades till the end, His only answers to your questions appear snide or sarcastic. When you pay a teacher to teach you, you should expect more than this guy will give you. Comes across like a middle school teacher that hates his kids, or mad that he didn't do better with his PHD.
Worst professor ever!!! NEVER take him. You have been warned!! Does not like students. Threatened me when taking action against his ignoring my repeated emails. AVOID this professor
WARNING: Please be careful with this professor, he is a very strict grader and he takes forever to post up the grades on blackboard. You will need to write every single paper perfectly in order to receive full credit and sometimes not even full. He deducts points for ridiculous reasons.
If you show you're working hard & that you're interested, he'll help you out. Tests are hard because it's a lot of information. But he literally gives you the answers to the test. DO THE HOMEWORK & QUIZZES. You can make a D on every test but if you do the hw & quizzes you'll still end up having a B in the class. Taking him for A&P2 as well.
He is a very funny teacher. Also he can be helpful as long as you ASK. The way he gives out his advice sounds completely sarcastic but it all depends on how you take it. He is great at what he does , just pay attention and take notes from your assigned textbook.
D whim, but I got a B in A&P 1 and an A in A&P 2. Sarcastic & unprofessional. You're teaching yourself. He left the room, didn't help wlabs, all due last day of class. I had A'sB's on everything. Tried to turn in labs last week of class, he wouldn't accept them. I emailed him before and he said it was okay. Dean twisted syllabus, 0 for all labs.
Possibly the worst professor I have ever had!! No Communication. Grades at the end. Progressively took more points off for the same mistake, but returns all the grades at once so there is no chance to improve! When I asked why points were deducted his response was rude and demeaning. He dislikes students. If you can avoid him TAKE ANOTHER PROF!
Dr. Stittsworth is not the easiest professor, but He does genuinely care about his students. I don't know another professor who actually reads every single discussion board post. I feel like he prepared me for the type of work expected in a graduate program. He will meet with you during his office hours (if you can figure out when they are).
This man has been the worst professor I have ever had and hope that I will ever have. He hardly grades your work... until the last week no chance to improve. He does not explain anything, he just refers to the unclear directions. His course is disorganized. He is never online and has seemingly zero concern for the students.
Expect to read ahead and do your own research on the side in order to understand the material. Grades are given at the last minute but Professor Stittsworth is fair in giving extra time to turn in the labs. Also, do the discussion boards on Wednesday night, not Sunday like the syllabus says, you will be marked off points for this.
The worst professors I have ever taken. He assumes that if you don't like him it is because you are lazy. He gives NO feedback. If you meet with him he demeans and degrades you. He is not only a bad professor, but he is a bad person! He talks bad about his students and the school he works for. You'll get an A but learn nothing and be angry as well.
Stittsworth is a professor who will help if you ask. Whenever I give him a question, he gives me a discussion. Yes, pretty blunt, but honesty is needed. If you are a proactive student who is interested in STEAM, then seek Stittsworth's time. He is involved in finding grants, etc. If you simply want credits, maybe you shouldn't take him.
Terrible professor, gives no feedback till the very end and has terribly unclear instructions. He is a degrading professor, you can not email him asking him a question because he turns it into an argument. Obnoxiously rude and deserves to be fired for being such an obtuse mal-educated person. Someone needs to do something about this man.
I really like Professor Stittsworth! He knows everything there is to know about A & P, and is very helpful. He has really good advice about how to study. I learned a lot from taking his course!
I took him for A&P1 last minute after being out of college for 6 years on a whim because I'm ready for a change. Class is easy if you do what your suppsed to do. There is a lot to take in and I'm glad this was the only class that I took, but I'm proud to say I have an A. I'm taking A&P2 with him this summer.
Great professor! Really knows his stuff! Very helpful, lots of good advice. He expects a lot, but if you put in the work, you'll learn a lot. His class is what college should really be like.
Slow to grade. I have take 2 classes with him only because he was the only one teaching. Gives feedback late because he grades slow causing missed points on other assignments. Easy grade.
If you plan on a career in the health field don't take Professor Stittsworth. He's so unclear on his homework, work, and exams. He grades work late so there's no room to fix your grade. He's constantly flip flopping on what he wants you to know. Just so yourself a favor and don't take his class.
Reads strait off power points. And when you ask him to slow down he states they're on blackboard and should already know the info. Overly sarcastic and not in a good way. When you ask questions he makes you feel stupid for asking them. Isn't clear about anything. Doesn't follow syllabus. Gives random tests. Constantly leaves the class for lunch.
Great professor ! He's very facetious, clever and an excellent educator .
He used to be a great prof but now just goes on hour long tangents. He doesnt grade, never gives any guidelines or a clear syllabus, ignores student emails. Cusses in class and belittles students. Im honestly not sure how hes still allowed to work. Online is easy, in person he takes it personal and gives whatever grade he feels you deserve.
The most aggravating professor I've had so far in my college career. I took his course online, so that's my bad, but I literally had 2 grades the entire semester. The grade book was blank minus those two grades until after the final grade was posted. There was a lot of work that was explained well, I just never got feedback. Will not take again.
Stittsworth is a hard professor, not gonna lie. If you show up to the lectures and labs, do your homework, and study for the tests (which are extremely difficult at times), you should be okay. He's sarcastic, moves pretty quickly, and expects you to learn it all in time for the tests (there's no more than a 2 week interval between exams).
Do your work, and be patient, you 'll pass. Got an A but not too easy
Hybrid class, not a single lab taught, waited until last minute to grade all assignments. Syllabus is not correct. Very sarcastic. Offered extra credit work. Tough exams, study hard.
He changed the course grading criteria 5 days before the end of class.
His class wasn't too tough. If you do the assignments and study the handouts online then you should be okay. He allowed us to use note on one test and we could work with a group for another. 4 exams, 16 assignments -10- 25 questions, 12-13 quizzes- 30 questions. He also allows us to retake an exam or take it home for test corrections and get a C
turn back now
Reads powerpoint word/word. Something you can do at home. Reading powerpoints is not teaching. Alot of busy work. He does give you study guide for exams, all you have to do is go through the practice package & fill in blanks. Again you are teaching yourself. He doesnt care about labs. First 2 test are done solo, 3rd open book. 4th is group exam
Worst professor at FSCJ.
Took Mr. Stittsworth for numerous online classes because I had no other option. He grades everything late! So you cant estimate your final grade until the class is officially OVER. If you misunderstand/miscalculate anything he wont give you mercy. Must do EXACTLY what/when he says in order to receive an A. Don't take him as a full time student!
Every class he just clicks through slides and barely explains the information on the slides. There are 4-5 test. The test have multiple sections, very long. If you arent a good test taker you wont pass. Requires a lot of studying and learning on your own. Rarely takes attendance.
I believe the professor has improved on grading,and interaction from previous complaints seen . Grading,and feedback on assignments were standard to most professors a week to two after assignment due. Disc. board post he wants mini. of 3 with responses to those who respond to you.(interaction is key)4 worksheets,research prop, final paper.
Beware of the reviews, I did not take them serious! I am over halfway into his summer class and he has not graded ONE thing. I reach out to him, he's rude and arrogant. He's awful, take this class at UNF or take it with another professor. I am an A + student and assume I will make an A but he is NOT worth the stress of him not grading and rudeness.
He takes forever to email back or answer questions. First online class ever, and he made it so stressful. He would say that an exam is one thing, he was very vague, then when the practice exam comes its a different topic. You have to literally learn everything on your own. Watched other professors vids to learn. Gave 2 exams in one week. The worst.
Never answers questions. Worst professor ever, shouldn't even teach anymore. Had to learn everything on my own. Turn back don't take his class.
Passed class with an A, but not worth all the stress. Lots of research paper style discussions. Only graded two assignments with feedback during the course, and waits till the very end to grade and doesn't provide any feedback. He also doesn't input grades in the canvas app. He is by far the most sarcastic and rudest professor I have ever had.
You better find the course content interesting because it's basically self taught through reading. Doesn't give very clear instructions on what he wants and he can take a minute to respond but he does ultimately respond. He was a very fair grader, when he does give feedback follow it and you'll do fine. Try not to take his attitude personally.
Very rude, refuses to put in accurate grades, yells when asked questions
The worst professor I have ever had. The majority of the course was self-taught because he did not lecture after the first exam. He gives too much unnecessary work. I have never had to complete so many assignments for a college course. He is unorganized, arrogant and rude.
Would not recommend, he's very rude & doesn't grade anything so you won't know your grade throughout the semester. You basically have to teach yourself because if you ask for help he will ridicule you because you don't know. all 4 exams are 100+ questions, assignments are mostly 15+ questions (1 question has 3 or 4 questions in it)
If you have other options, pick them! The class was easy, all discussions and one research paper. His grading and inconsistency was the problem. He changed how he wanted assignments done 8 weeks into a 15 week class. He was picky as to how assignments should be meaning points off for anything and it took him at least 3 weeks to grade 1 assignment.
I had Dr Stittsworth a few years back before I went into the nursing curriculum his classes helped prepare me for them. Because of the work he gave us I breezed through the anatomy in those. Yes he was tough but if you are going into a health career you will be well prepared Thank you Dr Stittsworth and those of you referring to him as Mr
