Very helpful in explaining anything you need to know. You have to study A LOT for this class, but if you do-then you will do well. Provided powerpoints on the screen, but not in hand which may have been more helpful, but the lecture text and asking questions are the best; the lab manual is poor quality.

He is a wonderful lab instructer. He presents the lab instructions clearly, tells you of potential trip-ups on the practicals, and adds a cute bit of humor to a very dull subject. The course is hard enough [STUDY and MEMORIZE, and spelling IS important!] and he helps make it a little less terrible.

Although this teacher gives a ton of extra credit, the tests are soo hard that most people do not pass with a high grade. He uses powerpoints with the terms on them but all the information is given orally. He is not a loud clear speaker so sit in the front and feel free to ask him to repeat anything you did not get.

Terrible. Unhelpful; won't tell you your grade even if you ask. Tests are difficult, and tricky; he doesn't always test you on the material but does stuff like spell a word wrong in a true/false, making a answer false, when if it weren't for the misspelling, would be true. Don't take him if you can avoid it. He's so boring.

Anatomy is a difficult class in general and he makes it ten times harder than it needs to be. The lab is based on dissecting a mink but you are expected to know human body parts without dissecting a human. His tests are MCAT based and way too difficult for a freshman level course.

For lab you are given a list of body parts and expected to find them on the mink without ANY prior knowledge. I don't know how + reviews get posted on here. He expects you to be in lab 4-5 hours outside of class every week.If you have that time, then go for it. I'd suggest taking it elsewhere. This class was incredibly difficult.

I had Bramblett for lab & lecture (which I highly recommend). Always take advantage of open lab the weekend before practicals. In his lab, you're most likely going to have to teach most of the material to yourself, so come to lab prepared. Be sure to study for the 10 question quiz before each lab (these are the points that turned my B into an A)!!

He doesn't exaggerate when he says you need to memorize his notes. There are tons of quizlets just look up his name! He offers extra credit which I recommend doing it turned my B into an A. I made a 70 on the final and got an A overall by doing super well in his lab because lab is 40% and lecture is 60%.

I took this class during the 6 week summer semester. He did not post anything for the first three, almost four, weeks. The final two weeks was purely playing catch up. Tons of reading guides with 20-70 questions on each. He is really sweet and replies fast. Does not tell you how to improve when you get something wrong on an exam.

I took him for lab and lecture during spring of 2020 (AKA the semester where COVID-19 came into play). Lab was difficult, you have to study your butt off. His tests for lecture are straight from the notes he gives you. A great person with a great sense of humor, but you have to work for your grade. Very nice and helpful. Offers LOTS of extra credit

I took Bramblett's lecture and lab Spring of 2020. We had 8 weeks in person before covid lockdown. I took this course while also enrolled in Physiology. Heavy on memorization. Study as much as you can. You'll cry, but it's worth it. I adore him. Key: study with others who also want the A. I'm now in UTC's nursing school. You can do it. I kept a 4.0

Bramblett was one of the best professors I have had in college! He is polite and fair and listens to his students. His class is not easy its anatomy and its supposed to be difficult. However, if you do the work he is extremely easy to work with! No textbook, but always go to lecture! He gives extra points for showing up!

Bramblett has been my favorite college professor! Very detailed and clear notes are given to you for the semester. You have to work for your grade by extensively studying the notes but his exams come straight from them so if you put the time in you will be fine. His daily quizzes can be pain, but they are not bad and they help you keep up with info

I took this course fall 2020 online. While it was easier in some aspects, I learned nothing. This class was only busy work. powerpoints were the only thing provided which often did not make sense when reading them.

Professor Bramblett uses the same notes every semester and doesn't change much. We were synchronous, and he read us the notes, which seemed pretty pointless. Hopefully it'll get better once we move on from COVID, but at least he makes a point to know or see his students face-to-face (even if it's on the computer).

He doesn't explain the material, only reads off of his powerpoint. His 3 tests and final exam are the hardest tests I've taken. I spent close to 20+ hours in total studying for each exam in lecture and lab separately. If you're not committed to dedicating your entire life to this class, don't do it. He takes the entire semester to grade anything.

Bramblett starts class with a quiz at 8am so make sure you study the night before, these can really help your grade. He reads off the powerpoint slides and then goes on tangents that have nothing to do with the topic. Also, he tells students to drop the course throughout the semester. Anatomy is VERY difficult.

He doesn't teach, only reads off his PowerPoints. He hardly engages with the class, so it's tough for those who are hands-on learners.
