Very good teacher. I loved going to his class, even though it was a 8 am one. He let the entire class re take one of the exams because the class overall did so bad and he put it online, he sometimes had extra credit. his online quizzes came straight from lecture notes and were really easy.

Upbeat prof, kept me awake in the 8am lecture. His tests were very easy and he lets you use a note card, and gives you a study guide which is basically the test. Just make sure you go to lecture, i didn't even buy the book, just print out his notes and follow along. He puts up online quizzes and gives you multiple tries. we even had an online test.

Great prof. If you show up for class once a week and are able to memorize the study guides and study well for the lab quizs you'll do well. Don't study for the tests the night before though there's too much to learn IMO. But make it a week and a half advance and study it throughout the week and you'll ace 'em.

John is a great professor that I actually enjoyed having for Bio. If you had to pick him I 100000% would recommend. The way the teaches really makes you learn and understand the material without even realizing it. He is very funny, and makes class fun to come to every day.

I had him once for a different class and was very excited to taking this one, but his physiology class was unbelievably hard. He does expect you to know a lot from his lectures, and they are very information-heavy. In this course, many questions on the exam seemed to not be in the study guide or lectures, so I did not know to prepare for them.

He is probably the best teacher ever for Architectural History. He is very knowledgeable in the field of architecture and cares for his students. He is truly a good person, you will love to have him as a teacher. He also tells stories about some of the buildings he teaches about when he visited them, he is so cool! 10/10 teacher!

A&P was a hard course, but he made it really fun! Such a good professor; if you have to take BIOL109 take it with Professor Johnson! The only thing is that attendance isn't mandatory but not everything that you need for the tests is on the slideshow. Definitely go to class.

I really enjoyed him as a professor! The only complaint is there is so much to learn in such little time (but that's not his fault). For example, we would learn about the urinary system, male reproductive, and female reproductive, and we would have a quiz on it the following week. But he was a great professor, I would recommend him.

Great professor. He really cares about teaching, and I would recommend going to his office hours. Labs are mandatory, lectures are not. Everything is on canvas, so you'll never have to worry about missing something. If you know what is on the study guides and kahoots, you'll know everything to pass. He made learning anatomy very easy.

Very understanding guy. Exams are straight up. Make sure to study the exam reviews and Kahoot's. Lab was very enjoyable, and most quizzes were easy and straightforward. Take good notes (use colors!) and ask for help if you don't understand.

Labs quiz every week sometimes two quizzes a day. With no word bank or multiple choice. If you spelt a word wrong by one letter it's half a point. Lecture exams were over way too much at one time, making it extremely hard to study.

I really enjoyed this class but if you don't lock in, it won't be easy. attendance is not mandatory, but it helps a lot if you hear it from him because you are not going to study the material on your own and if you do it won't click nearly as well. I could tell he cares a lot about this subject. If you haven't had anatomy before, YOU HAVE TO STUDY.
