He knows his stuff like the back of his comb-over. He wants to help out and appreciates questions during his lectures. Just go to class stay awake (most of the time) and look at his Objective handouts before tests and he's a breeze. He IS boring but enthusiastic about what he teaches.

The person who wrote the rating just before mine cannot be more on-the-nail. He really knows what he's talking about; very open to questions. You'll need to carry the extra help sessions yourself, basically, which was hard for me because I was so lost, but just know what you want to ask ahead oftime

He is a very boring in the lecture but he does know everything he is teaching and does want people in lecture to ask questions

The class is kind of difficult, but if you actually take notes, they are pretty easy. I don't know why everyone doesn't like him, but I think he's a really cool teacher and very helpful. You can ask him questions whenever you want and he goes over the tests in his study sessions.

His part of the class is challenging. If you go to class and take good notes you should do fine. His grading system is awesome, like nothing I've ever heard of. Tests are multiple choice and a lot of the answers, even though wrong, you could get partial credit.

DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR! He is so boring! His voice is very monotonous and he isn't the slightest bit lineant at all! i warn you not to take him!

If you fail Dr. Engle's Biology 100, you either never went to class or you're a complete idiot. His lectures are straightforward and easy to follow, he gives out study aids, and his exams are ridiculously easy. Labs for this class suck and are much harder than the lecture material, but he's not in charge of them. Go to class and you'll do fine.

Nice guy who tries his hardest to be fair to his students. Is generous with the partial credit on tests, and you take turns among lab partners writing labs, so you don't have one due every week. Not a blowoff class though....there is a lot of material to learn and if you don't show up for class you're in trouble.

VERY EASY class. tests were easy if you look over your notes. he likes you to ask questions. curves tests but will not round your overall grade. dropped lowest test grade. very easy class if you just go.

Dr. Engels Human A&P class is very difficult, but doable. Expect ridiculously tough exams and quizzes. You can get an A if you study his study guide inside and out.

Dr. Engel is a very intelligent man and sometimes has trouble "dumbing down" the information to a level students can understand. He is fair by giving partial credit, but if you blow off even one assignment or test your grade could suffer. There are just not enough points in this class for a 400 level course.

Had him my first semester of freshman year. While he is a very friendly and intelligent professor,you will need to take the initiative yourself if you want to do well.This means going to every class, listening as hard as you can to his lectures, taking good notes, and going to him personally with questions. He gives you credit for coming in during his office hours and working with him. He'll go over the entire exam with you after you take it, ask you why you wrote down the answer that you did, and explain to you what the right answer is. He really is very helpful and willing, but only if you ask him.

Although he expects a lot out of his students, he makes his expectations clear from the beginning. If you put in the effort you will do well and learn a lot from him. He is very organized and efficient.

I had a good biology program in high school, I already knew the information before the class. His lectures are well-delivered, but are boring if you had the info already. Tests are much harder than class lectures make you think

I thought that this professor was very articulate with his lectures and knowledgable about the subject that he was teaching. I found this class to be an excellent learning experience.

I can agree that he is not the best teachers around. There are some of his teaching methods I don't personally like as well. But he is a VERY nice guy. If you don't understand something, go bother him during his office hours. He will help you explain the material you don't understand as much as you need. I actually learned something in his class al

If you are taking this class, realize that it is ultimately up to your interest and motivation to learn as much as possible. Keep in mind that searching for only "key points" to study for will be ineffective. If you have a genuine willingness to study and put in the work in lab assignments, you will probably get a good grade. In spring 2010=curve

His class is definitely not an easy class. Next year it will be offered as a 300 level. A majority of the class failed, but a majority didn't study the way they should for a COLLEGE class. If you go to class, study for the quizzes by using his learning objectives, and completely fill out his learning objectives prior to the exams you can easily get

HE IS VERRRRY HARD AND BORING! STUDY HARD! SEARCH INFO ABOUT THE TOPIC THAT YOU'RE STUDYING FOR IN YOUR TEXTBOOK, YOUTUBE, AND ONLINE SITES. YOU'LL NEED TO PUT IN 110% TO GET AN A. HE HAS A "CURVE" FOR ALL OF HIS TESTS. WHOEVER GETS THE HIGHEST SCORE ON THE TEST GETS 100% FOR THAT TEST. THAT PERSON'S SCORE IS THEN THE MAX SCORE FOR EVERYONE ELSE.

I thought he was a great teacher! If you follow his notes, actually listen in class, and follow along this class is easy. His tests are pretty complex, only because they make you think about the answer. I am a freshman, I have never took a zoology class before, and I got an A on every exam. I just paid attention and worked hard.

One of the smartest teachers I have ever had. He understands anatomy inside and out and really loves his job. He lays all the test material out word for word: he gives learning objectives, review sessions and offers help after class. Going to class is incredibly beneficial for homework and notes. If you have to take anatomy I suggest you take him!

GO TO CLASSSSSSS

This class is extremely difficult but if you have to take anatomy, take it with him. He's a really nice guy & is SUPER helpful. Attendance isn't mandatory but if you don't go you'll be confused. BUY & READ THE BOOK. Study his learning objectives and vocab words and you should be ok. Loved Dr. Engel!

I actually really liked Engel! He's a bit of a scatterbrain so sometimes he jumps around in lecture trying to get back on track, but overall I think everything is very clear and his exams are on exactly what he lectured on. The online version of the book is very helpful with the online quizzes and also it comes with practice exams for each chapter

He doesnt really explain everything just what stands out and whats important and probably going to be on the exams you have to actually study the chapters and take notes if you want to do good on the exams make sure you go to lab on time their is a quiz every lab about the lab before and actually read through the lab manual because its teaching
