This class was very difficult...study A LOT, keep up with the work and don't fall behind! I recommend studying daily, do NOT try to cram before the exams (there's way too much material to do that and pass). The exams were more application focused than strictly diagram memorization. Good luck!!

Worst professor I have had at OSU thus far. She is impossible to comprehend when she speaks. She mis-pronounces more words than I can count. Exams are not fair and are way too specific for the large amount of info covered. She absolutely refuses to help students. I asked her for help after class one day and she told me to pay my TA to help me.

She just gives student way too much information to learn and memorize. on top of all the information, her exams are only 50 questions (worth 2 points each) and they are all mostly application questions! so she expects students to not only memorize an incredible amount of info but also be able to apply the knowledge in a span of 2 weeks!

People are way too hard on Dr. Burgoon. Yes, there's a lot of information, so studying DAILY is a must for any anatomy class. She does move through material very quickly. Nothing is on her tests that she has not gone over. She is quite busy, so her interest level in helping you is pretty low. Also, tests are not cumulative, which is a huge plus.

All you really have to do is watch the lectures online and take NOTES alot of it . She also gives alot of information in the lecture , but only need to know the key concepts. If this class is offered online take it because the lab is a waste of a good solid 2 hours of your day(but the TA is mad cute so that was a bonus) .

Lots of information but overall doable. Never took anatomy, but her lectures are clear and easy to understand. Lectures are online and identical to her in-person ones.

Dr. Burgoon was great when she taught the class but she often handed it over to grad students who weren't as good. However, all her lectures are online (audio and video) so you don't have to go to lecture and they're also great for review. This class has a lot of information but it's definitely doable.
