Uncaring, no compassion for students. Requirements were unreasonable, (ex-5 page essays, SINGLE spaced, 50 question Homework assignments.) Instruction is very unclear. Too specific on class topics, for a NON-SCIENCE Major course!!

I had him until the drop date and dropped the class. I thought he was a really hard teacher. He expected way to much out of you and seemed to be one of those teachers that don't understand you have other classes. I would not recommend him to anyone else!

I LOVE Dr. Hamilton! His class is really interesting and fun. He has the energy and enthusiasm of a little kid, which keeps your interest. You don't have to read the book, just print off his notes from his website. His class is easy, if you just study your notes before the test. You can't miss class, though; his tests are entirely lecture-based.

Professor Hamilton is GREAT. There are only small handful of professors that have left a lasting impression on me and Dr. Hamilton is one of them. He is one of those professors that is really hard, but will make you push yourself to your fullest potential. Take this class if you want to truly understand the content, because it is not an easy A!

Absolutely AWESOME prof. There's a lot of info to study but he does his part by explaining it all VERY well, you just have to do your part and STUDY it! Very clear. Gives back grades at lighting speed. Willing to help students understand. Replies to questions by email in depth which is very helpful if you cant make it to office hours. TAKE HIM!

Anatomy is not an easy subject. With that being said Dr. Hamilton gives you all the tools and directs you to what is important to know. He is NOT one of those professors that tries to trick you... but you need to come to class and respect his time. He grades everything on the spot (WHICH I LOVE). A recorder (especially day before tests) helps.

Dr. Hamilton is an amazing person. He makes it very clear what is expected and there are no surprises. He wants everyone to do well and will do whatever he can to make sure you understand something. You are expected to study and do your part, if this isn't apparent then do not take this class. A&P is a tough course, be prepared to study A LOT!

Dr. Hamilton is one of the best teachers on this campus! He is always willing to help, just an email away, and you will get an explanation far beyond what you expected. I would recommend him as your A&P teacher because this isn't an easy class but he leaves you with no surprises about what you need to know!

Amazing professor!! He is tough, period. But if you take his class you will leave with knowledge gained and that is what we are there for! He wants to see his students succeed and he will do all but short you out! Don't waste his time, he knows he is Good and knows only serious students take and pass his course!!!

Be prepared to be in class a few minutes after the assigned end every day because he has a lot of information to cover and not enough time

Dr. Hamilton is a GREAT professor. He expects the best out of his students and is so willing to explain questions. He cares alot about his students. His lectures are pretty much outlined. I suggest printing out the lecture notes and then following what he teaches in class. His test are hard but there's nothing wrong with studying a little harder.

Best professor I've had yet! He truly cares about his students and he is more than willing to explain concepts over email and after class. A&P is hard in general, and Dr. Hamilton is a difficult teacher because he wants you to become fluent in the material. As long as you study hard you will pass. Taking him next semester!!

Dr. Hamilton is one of the more difficult professors I've taken, but by far one of my favorites. He definitely pushes his students to work for their grade, and missing class can set you back pretty far. He's great at helping outside of class when needed, and his tests are very representative of his lectures. I'd take more of his classes if I could!

If you don't have the time outside of class to dedicated to studying then this course will be very difficult.

Professor Hamilton is a nice guy he just tries to come off as tough. The test are very hard and he expects you to know everything, literally. He views all of his students as medical professionals and wants you to know all of the terms. He gives extra credit assignments but it is just a difficult course in general. He is willing to help though.

Hamilton is my favorite professor at UNG. I had him for Bio 2120 and Bio 2130 and passed both with an A. don't need the textbook, he creates a website and everything you need is on that website. Lab is easy if you attend and pay attention. He truly cares about his students. And when he says that he answers emails at anytime he really means it.

This class covered a lot of material so you need to study to keep up between lectures. The tests are difficult and have a lot of fill in the blank questions, so you need to be able to label parts and work problems from memory. Ultimately I learned the material and I'm glad I did.

If only his collogues were as skilled in their craft. His greatest flaw is that he is not teaching at a more prestigious university. This man is organized, intelligent and a consummate professional. He may demand a lot, but he gives even more. Everything you need to ace the class (and more importantly - learn anatomy) is provided from day 1!

Professor Hamilton is a great choice for A&P II. His notes,study guides, and homework questions are very detailed but are exactly what is on the exam.

Class is test-heavy with lectures and labs. Lecture notes and other necessary materials are available on the professor's website. Lab can be hard to learn because he tends to do an overview of the terms on the models and expects you to learn the rest by yourself but it is ideal for people who prefer to work independently. Will email you back fast.

This class is very lecture heavy, every single class is lectures, he doesn't really give homework, study guides, or resources to help study. He was funny from time to time. He also lacked motivation, encouraged me to withdraw many times. He also expects us to take our own notes, he is very fast paced, but is clear about stuff.

Dr. Hamilton is the best teacher I have ever had. Anatomy is extremely difficult, because there is so much information. He uses a chalkboard and is a subject matter expert. If he doesn't go over it in class, then it's simply not on the quiz or test. No mandatory homework and he has a very helpful website. STUDY THE NOTES FROM THE LECTURE!!!
