This course does not cover easy material. The text book reads like an encyclopedia. He goes out of his way to prepare materials for you to stay organized and learn.He will not test you on materials not covered in class. If you put in the ours needed to study in this class you should get a 3.0 or 4.0. If you do not study every day you will fail.

Goes way to fast when teaching so you have to review your notes every night to keep up with this class. Notes are super easy and you feel like your gonna do great on the test and then you get the test and he words everything completely different and is very tricky.

Lecture Exams were really hard, brutal almost and questions were tricky. I felt like those tests were more to trick you then teach you. His labs were great, I loved his labs and did decent on all those exams. Get ready to spend hours on the lectures though. This class is hard, Ive never worked so hard at a class and only walked away with a C.

Professor Bichler is very motivated with biology. His classes were exciting and fun. You have to attend and pay attention in order to succeed. He will work with anyone and went out of his way to assist anyone who needed it. His lecture notes and assignments are key to passing his course. Oh yes - HISTOLOGY of organs and cells!!

He is an amazing teacher who loves biology. He offers several opportunities for grades, including a very short research paper/presentation. He uses Connect for all his HW assig., which you can get 100%, as they are self-correcting. Fair warning, he does test hard. His tests are more about you understanding material rather than memorizing facts.

He is a succesful teacher and he is expecting same thing from you too. It was hard, it was so hard especially having second language. My prosess was so slow and I am having depression because of covid but he gave me extra time to complete all tasks. I add him and he's loved ones to my prayers.

I loved his A+P I class so much Im taking his A+P II as well! He is a very passionate in his teaching, bring the contents to life! He makes everything so easy to understand and gives an awesome study guide that give you basically all the exam answers (open note). The Connect McGraw Hill program is also very easy to navigate and helpful.

Presents the information in a variety of ways for every learning type. You can tell he is very passionate about physiology which makes listening to lectures so easy and entertaining. Tests can be difficult because it's not about memorizing the content but using it to come to some type of conclusion. Easy to communicate with if you have questions.

Professor Bichler is one of the best. He takes the complex and daunting system functions, breaks them down, and presents them in an easily understandable and enjoyable way. For the others who have said he is terrible and caution taking him, IGNORE THEM. You must put the effort in to learning the material but if you do you will have no trouble.

THE BEST! I would totally recommend taking his class. His lectures are bit heavy, but he teaches clearly. You can always reach to him with any questions and he answers emails quickly. Gives homework every week but are very easy. The material on the quizzes are bit heavy but if you take time to study, I guarantee you will have an A.

Single handedly one of the best professors I ever had. He makes everything easy to learn, tests are open note & you have 2 chances to take them & he averages grades together, exams you take twice, once alone & again w a partner & he averages them. I respect Prof. B. & regret not taking A&P2 with him.

- Justin is THE BEST!!! ( makes his own lectures, and his own " text book" , his own quizlet's , and he has his own website we use for his class that has ALL A&P CONCEPTS - which is SUPER beneficial for remediation on any A&P concepts ) his lectures are EASY to digest. And if you ever need help, manz is willing to help. I wish I took him sooner! :D

His website is so good that you don't need the book. Just review the slides, 5 min podcasts, and videos he has imbedded in the slides. Roughly half of grade is midterm/Final. Each have about 50 T/F and multi choice/10 short written response questions. Study, do the lab worksheets, and the essay questions will be easy. HW is EZ. Best A&P professor.

Bichler really wants you to not only learn but understand the material. Lab lectures pay attention as he will give hints to what will be on tests. Take your notes, participate, and do your best to make it fun to learn about A&P. There is a lot of material but it wasn't overwhelming as everything was organized.
