Anatomy was the hardest thing ever, but that was just the material. I also had him for a 3 hour lecture, so it was rough. But his class lectures and PowerPoints were useless in studying, tests were SUPER hard, only way I passed was with the book. He had to wind up offering tons of extra credit and curves because everyone was failing. So good luck.

Dr. Clark is a nice guy, however he is not clear whatsoever of what will be on the exams. Spent so much of my time studying for his class is b/c I had no idea what to study for. Anatomy is not an easy course but this prof makes it more difficult. DO NOT TAKE HIM! He gave extra credit, but told us he would drop lowest exam and then never did!

He is a very good teacher and test over the subjects that are most important to Anatomy. He is always willing to go over test/give feed back. Not always clear on what he wants, but is always there to answer questions that you may have about an assignment, so there should be no confusion. He is very passionate about what he does!

Professor Clark isn't very clear in his lectures. He reads straight from his powerpoint and doesn't expand too far.

Anatomy is a difficult class regardless of who you take, so you might as well take someone who cares about your learning and is very invested in the material. He expects you to do your part though, get the book and wait for him to e-mail the sections then just read and you'll get an A. He tries to make lectures interesting also.

If you tell him, "I don't get it", he'll ask what exactly you don't understand and HE WILL BREAK IT DOWN FOR YOU. Just give him the specifics on what you don't understand. Just try and he'll see it.

Clark is the best choice for A& P. His tests accurately reflect the lecture material. He is understanding and goes into detail over the content. Lots of lectures, but take notes and study, and you will pass.

Dr. Clark provided extra study tools to help the class. He released the chapter readings to help us prepare for the next exam. Also, the homework helps prepare you for the test. Finally, the most important aspect is to take good notes, because the test is over select material from the notes directly provided by his lectures.

Good professor, although he reads from powerpoint. I enjoyed him because he makes it easy to understand. Bad thing is, if you dont come to class he does get petty. Overall he was awesome.

So my problem with him is he never answer emails. If you have a online class with him, make sure you are on time with your assignments and test because he will not answer your email. I was going to take him for microbiology next year but he pissed me off with him not communicating with his online students.

This class was one of the harder classes that I have taken. His lectures never really helped me. I mainly focused on the textbook to study. The lab is what got me the B. Be prepared for the practicals (30 question test with 30 seconds for each question-no study guide and not always multiple choice questions)! He is overall a chill professor.

Tough on grading students. I had COVID, he didn't extend the deadline of assignments. He emailed the class this "high levels of unethical activity during the exam" at one point during the semester even though the software were using was Proctorio. There had also been delays of lectures and assignments. Barely any extra credit just 2 bonuses.

I was pretty excited to take this class as I enjoyed BIO 2403 w/ Dr. Clark. This semester was unprofessional and unorganized, however. Some lectures weren't regularly posted; assignments were missing before the due dates so you had to worry if he would open them up again. Emails were never responded to, so don't bother. Very test heavy (10!)

the first half of the semester was amazing. I loved his lectures and as long as you came to class the exams were straight forward. However, he doesn't take attendance and made that known but by exam 3 he got so mad at people not coming he made exam 3 and the final impossible to even pass. Majority went from an A to a C.

He isn't very easy to reach outside of class, and most/all of the information from the class is taught directly from his powerpoints. This is not the way that I learn, but if it's how you learn, you may enjoy it.

Straightforward class. Each chapter has a HW due (2 attempts) and a reading assignment (answer until correct). 4 EXAMS, respondus used. Study from his powerpoints and you should do ok. Very lecture heavy. Most chapters have 3 lectures, 45min each. Exams are 4 chapters a piece. Lab is lockdown. Be able to ID structures. Good teacher for hard class.

Make sure to watch all his recorded lectures, not just the power-points as he gives more insight into the chapters. For a hard class with alot to memorize he does a great job at teaching.

I have taken A&P I twice now. Once with one professor, and the second time I took Dr. Clark. I wish I took him the first time. His lectures go so much more in depth, instead of throwing information in your face like “other” professors. He made the material actually make sense, and his lectures are fun. C to A in A&P from him. TY Dr.!

Make sure to go to class bc his PPs were mostly empty & you had to be there to get the needed info. do the quizzes and the HWs they will help your grade if you're doing bad. Pay attention in class

Clark's course is fairly easy. Quizzes are given at the start of each class and count towards attendance, but they're straightforward and serve as grade boosters. His exams are directly aligned with his notes and practice questions, making them predictable if you study. As long as you attend class and stay engaged, you should do well.

I have taken both A&P 1 and 2 with Clark online, and I enjoyed both courses. During the majority of A&P 2, he required you to watch the lecture videos to take the exams, but they aren't boring, and he cares about teaching. I will say he isn't the easiest to get a hold of, but overall, the course is easy.

This professor's class is a joke. Exams make up 60% of your grade, and the extra credit barely helps. Homework doesn't count for much, either. It's all about 4 exams, and they're locked down browser with your mic on and camera on the whole time. Just take this class online at a different college.

Took it online and this was a straight forward class. About 2-3 lectures per week and homework due on the weekends. The tests are based on the lectures and the questions are a bit hard, so make sure you thoroughly review each chapter. The lab section and practicals were easy, and it's all about memorization. The extra credit he gives does help.

This professor is extremely strict and not very understanding of what students may be dealing with. He starts quizzes exactly on time, so even being one minute late hurts your grade.

Dr. Clark was a good professor, he was good at looking at his emails, he may not respond to you directly but he will read it and post an announcement on blackboard. Heavy lecture videos so make sure you do not fall behind, may upload up to 3-4 videos a week so take lot of notes. 4 Exams and all are using Respondus Lockdown with camera on.
