to be honest i'm not a science major, i'm a music major. I thought this class was going to kick my butt from the very beginning, but taking this professor has not only helped me learn so much stuff, but it's made me comfortable about it . also you would have to literally not show up to class or do nothing to fail the class, it is that simple.

I highly encourage anyone that's serious about the medical field to take Dr. Raynes. He's an actual MD with a Master's degree as well, and gives great lectures. Participate in class and in lectures and ask questions, you'll be rewarded. You have a doctor's brain to pick so use it to your advantage. No hw, only 4 tests and he drops the lowest.

Dr. Raynes is a great professor! I'm currently in his A&P 1 class and he explains everything in detail. He's willing to go over anything that is unclear and he answers any questions you may have. He responds quickly to texts/emails and he's also willing to help during his office hours. The material is very interesting! Make sure you read ahead (if you can) and listen to what he says during the lecture! Participate in the lecture and really use lab time to look at everything! I love that there's no homework, no quizzes! Just exams and participation. I've registered for his A&P 2 class already!

Doesn't count off for spelling but there are only 4 lecture tests and 4 practicals so make sure to study ALOT!

Dr. Raynes is an amazing professor. His class is not necessarily an easy A, but if you read the textbook, read the power points daily, and participate, you should be more than capable of getting an A. I took Dr. Raynes for two years (first for A&P1 & then A&P 2), and he has a genuine care for his students and their success. Definitely recommend!!

Great Professor. Decided on a 4 because he hasn't stuck to the syllabus. PLUS, his syllabus is done by "week of class" instead of actual dates. Only grades are exams and practicals. I like that you don't have homework/busy work, but this means you have to do all the studying and handwork on your own. USE YOUR TEXTBOOK and the online Mastering Lab.

I loved Dr. Raynes lectures, they were never boring. He's the type of teacher who is able to go off subject while still teaching the material. He has a great sense of humor. As long as you pay attention and take notes, you will easily make an A in his class. He is very laid back and he's not bad to look at which is also a plus. Win/win!

-Randomly moved tests up by a WEEK at a time, so you had less than a week to study. -Never passed tests back out for review, have to go to his office to see what you missed. -Only study advice was to review his powerpoints, that weren't always updated to the one he presented. -Unfair class treatment: others received takehome tests, not our class.

Let me start by saying I feel like I was miss lead by the reviews. My experience with professor Raynes is cool and keeps his lectures fun. However, that's where it ends. There is no structure what so ever and he expects you to memorize power points and gives you NO outline on what to study. He's a smart guy, just a bad teacher and is always late.

I went into this course thinking that it would be fun and enjoyable with this professor. Much like others stated, there is no structure and the exams are brutal. It's extremely difficult to complete exams because you are told to only study Powerpoints but there are questions not answered by the Powerpoints. Nice guy, but this class was terrible.

He is a very funny, down to Earth teacher. He gives PowerPoints for you to study off of and explains them in class. You are graded on tests only, so no homework or quizzes. Make sure tostudy hard because you have to work for the grade you recieve. But overall he is a good teacher.

Dr Raynes was a good professor and his lectures were really interesting. In terms of exams, his ppts were really useful but I found studying them on my own just as helpful as class. You dont need the book if you print his ppts and use online resources. What was expected of you was really straight forward, and some exams ended up being online

He is an actual doctor so pick his brain. He entwines his lectures with real life interesting details. He encourages you to learn and challenge yourself and him. He is a bit intimating because he is so smart, interesting and very nice to look at(just a bit skinny) :) He makes you want to learn from him. He really should be a full time professor.

I've taken Professor Raynes for AP1 and AP2. He works in the ER and incorporates his knowledge into the lecture to make it more interesting. He's straight forward with what you need to know and tries to help you as much as he can. He's very understanding with his grading curves and sometimes allows the tests to be take home!

I deeply enjoyed Dr. Raynes AP1 class, I took a 12 week course in which we had to cram a lot of material in but I did not feel overwhelmed at any point. He makes the lectures very entertaining . His power points are all you need (don't purchase textbook until you attend class, he will advise if necessary, it was not) and all 4 test were take home!

No book needed, his power points go over everything and are accessible. Definitely recommend

Since he is a practicing doctor at UF Shans, he brings personal stories to the lectures and is hilarious. Also, I was never in that class longer than an hour and a half!

Nice guy, but far too intelligent to teach. Lectures are extremely difficult to keep up with and nothing is broken down for you. He claims that you'll never see a test question that is not on the slides, but that's absolutely false. Tests are take home, but prepare to spent 5+ hours on it. If you're a straight A student, prepare for a B.

Dr Raynes is by far the best professor Ive had here in Florida. You will find yourself wanting to go due to his personality alone. No homework. He grades his entire course on tests alone. However, if your lucky, you will get a semester with lots of take home tests. Dont expect to use quizlets though, because he writes all his own exams.
