Dr Kowalow was amazing. He made class interesting with modern issues which can be understood and related to everyday life. He has experience worth sharing and listening to with his sense of humor and bringing life to a subject they could be boring. He sets his standards and expectations on day one so there is no surprises and no misunderstandings.

Dr. Kowalow is a very entertaining professor who makes learning about even anatomy really fun(a feat in itself) and he explains stuff so that it is easy to remember. Also, he tells you what to expect!

Very straight forward with everything. This is definitely one of the best courses that I have taken so far. He is a fun, up beat professor that doesn't sugar coat what you are about to learn. As long as you show up and participate you'll pass the class with flying colors.

Doc is an amazing guy and really knowes his stuff. But he does not have any resources for you besides notes, no slides, and he goes FAST. If you cant get down everything he says & writes at the same time, bring a recorder/use phone to record the lecture and re'write notes at home.

He is very fun and down to earth. He doesnt sugar coat things making the experiance more real as well as he uses things such as comedians and TV shows to express the lesson in a way everyone will get the lesson. He is very open about how he grades and how he gives tests.
