he was super helpful with hints on how to take multiple choice exams better
No Comments
Very enthusiastic!!! Maybe too excited about hemoglobin.
good teaching style, keeps your attention the whole time, very enthusiastic, very clear
He is so sexy when he gets excited about hemoglobin.
Goes too fast and tells the worst jokes. He seems very full of himself
Very clear, very funny, very good overheads.
I asked him a question on the final and he started yelling and making a big seen....idiot.............and hes a brutal teacher....he copies straight out of the text book except he gets some things wrong and hes to dumb to notice the difference
Sometimes he makes a mountain out of a mole hill. Otherwise he's very good. I like haemoglobin too.
I wish I could give 5 chili peppers... Good prof, excited about his material, helpful and tries hard (maybe a little too hard)to be funny...Enjoyable to be in his class
His jokes aren't funny, I wish he would stop telling them. He takes his lecture notes straight from the text book word for word.
He is so cute and funny! He seems like a really nic and fair person unlike the other stuffy grumpy people teaching this course. A nice refreshing prof.
He did his thesis on Ecology and how it effacts muskrats. Obviously he doesn't know what hes teaching.....And it shows
unlike comments from the obvious 'D' students in this class ("effacts"???), i found the instructor to be engaging and interesting...and he clearly put a lot of time and effort into the powerpoint presentations for class. the course was a lot of work, but I got my A!
The flying spaghetti monster theory of intelligent desgin was really cool and interesting. I used to be a big believer in evolution but the ID-FSM theory has really got me thinking. Prof. Campbell is really cute and funny as well.
I never knew multiple choice could be so hard! Generally helpful professor and friendly too.
He's better than Mcleese in the way he delivers the material. Clear and concise powerpoint slides are given for every class. You must attend to fill in the "blanks". He covers the cardiovascular and respiratory sections. Not bad overall.
Horrible. His lectures don't make any sense and he takes forever to get through a single slide. Very rude to students during exams, don't bother asking questions he doesn't answer properly or makes you feel stupid for asking.
This prof was probably the rudest professor I've ever had. Not only was his midterm absolutely ridiculous, but he was unapproachable and incredibly cocky. Such a ****.
Rude, rude professor!! Arrogant, makes students feel stupid when questions are asked in class. Avoid him!
it's as if this prof. wants his students to do bad. pompous and mean spirited is an understatement. he loves to test on the most minute details, especially his inaudible mumbling between slides. also, don't ask questions in class unless you feel like being belittled and told "i don't know, why don't you go take immunology".
His notes are so hard to follow. Unless you have a mind like his, his notes contradict from late sections to early sections. This makes it so much harder to follow what he asking on the exams, unlike Dr. Scott (who's questions are clear)
env.phys: while prof isn't that likeable (tho he tries to be) notes are clear, sectioned nicely for studying, questions aren't tricky but you have to study the notes really well (know your stuff) and you will do fine! if you like this kind of stuff you'll enjoy the course, but obviously you still have to work at it.
I got an A+ in 1020 with dr.stacey (easier!) and an A in 1030. What i did for 1030 was that I didn't go to class but watched the videos in the library slowly, pausing and basically writing everything down. There is A LOT of information and the lab is pretty overwhelming. He tells you to read the book. Don't!! Its total BS. DON'T CRAM!Tests are fair
Great professor. Tries to make the class interesting and the lectures are definitely worth going to, however it is a really hard course.
I really like him, I only taught the first half of anatomy. I wish he taught anatomy and physiology. his power point notes are crystal clear and extremely organized. he is funny too. i dont see why people complain about him
I thoroughly enjoyed having Dr. Cambell as a prof. Althouth there is a LOT of information he made it really interesting with lots of humor. The class notes were also very organized and easy to follow. Highly recommended prof - I'm so disappointed he doesn't teach physiology in the second term!
not nearly as good as expected. Not very approachable.
He explains everything extremely thoroughly and his notes are very well-prepared. The class has a lot of mechanisms to memorize so the fact that he colour codes them helps, though you should write your own notes in the space provided too. Exams are tough but he emphasizes what will be on them so if you listen, you'll do well. One of the best profs!
Overall a great prof. His powerpoints are organized and well prepared. Exams are tough but fair. Someone needs to buy the man a watch though,as he consistently showed up late for class.
Pretty energetic, but a bit irritating at times. Lecture slides are well organized and have blanks so attendance is mandatory. Exams are tricky, but not bad if you're well read. Overall he is pretty good but he tries too hard to be funny sometimes hah
He has blanks in all of his notes so if you don't go to class you'll likely miss important information, he tries to be funny in class but then he's not approachable at all. Was afraid to ask him questions. His exams are tricky.
This man is very rude, he gets annoyed or gives you snarky responses if you ask a question in class. Very unapproachable, does not explain things clearly and he will single you out if he sees you using a cell phone in his class.
He's a good prof and tries to make jokes and such. He explains things very well, you just have to listen through and through. Anatomy is pretty dry unless you think it's super interesting and he tries to make it truly interesting for you!
I had Dr. Campbell for Human Phys 2, really nice and helpful when approached in person. Doesn't allow cellphones in class which makes it DISTRACTION FREE!!! I would take him again if I can. Really funny at times and really really passionate about this course and tries to make it as much fun as possible. Notes are organized. Make sure u go to class!
Incredible prof! Hilarious, engaging in lectures, elaborates on the information on the slides, and is super passionate about the information. Taught the cardiovascular system and respiratory, and clearly loves the content. Very energetic, worth going to lectures to get a good laugh but also receive a clear, thorough explanation of the content.
He is one of the best professors I've ever had! His explanations were clear and helpful. Be prepared to write down whatever he mentioned during lectures as they will appear in the exams.
He's funny and I like his notes. But there are times when he's not sure how to pronounce some words and even asks us and I usually hear him say "I don't know" or "I'm not really sure" to some students' questions. : But he's nice and approachable.
I thoroughly enjoy his lectures. This is my longest class (2.5 hours once a week), and it is a brutal course load being Anatomy, but Mr. Campbell makes lectures fun and gives you pointers on how to succeed. I would GLADLY take a class with him again.
The tests are moderately difficult but you should expect that walking into a biology class. You will definitely need your textbook and attend classes or else you won't pass
does the respiratory system in physiology bio 2420. Can tell hes into it and sometimes it sounds like he gets borderline emotional but th point gets accross. Its physiology so you gotta put in the work but he definiately, along with the others for the course are pretty solid .. IF YOU PUT IN THE WORK
Class is kind of interesting. He only talks about a few slides a day and his notes don't really make much sense. The lab portion of the class is rediculous. They expect you to do 15 hours of calculations to work on a lab report.. this class will make you mentally unstable. Please avoid for your own sanity.
If you actually put in effort this course is not hard at all. Its not even a lot of material, just very dense. Labs are fairly easy, just a bunch of excel calculations.
Great Professor! Anatomy class was a bit boring but he tried to relate thing in real life and made some joke during lectures. His notes were really organized.
He have the best notes for anatomy than Jennifer and Paul his notes r organized , color coded & diagrams. If u have time go to other profs lecture for refreshments b/c this class is once a week and for 2 hrs and 45 mints. U don't need the textbook at All.
Be prepared to memorize, not understand, MEMORIZE countless lists, diagrams, and graphs. Miss a word in your answer on an exam? Mark off. Didn't recite notes word for word? 5/10. The content and class were interesting, but it is A LOT of information that you have to recite word for word and the marking is extremely harsh. Don't recommend.
This course is unbelievably difficult. While Dr. Campbells notes are excellent, the amount of information students are required to memorize is astonishing. Do not take this course lightly - study hard for the exams. The lab is very heavy as well as there are 4 assignments, 1 of which is a primary literature article, and a presentation.
Kevin gives loads of detail in every lecture, sometimes so much that you feel a little lost if you haven't pre-studied a lot. Study the material before attending the lecture; then the connections he makes to real life will stick. He's serious about his no cellphone policy and can be harsh at times, but he's funny, and loves the material.
Okay, now I understand why Dr. Campbell does what he does. He marks the midterm harshly so you know what to expect for the final, he emphasizes important topics in the notes and mentions every detail in class, so YOU mention every detail on the exams, he makes hard and boring topics a little more interesting. I think all bio majors should take this
takes a minute to say one sentence and comes off as condescending, dont do the 3 hour lecture unless you want to dislike him. doing well is very possible if you just study. he posts the slides which other profs for anatomy (Bio1410) dont do but alas I sit in lecture wishing i could ask him to speak at a normal pace
His notes are very organized and amazingly put together. Sad that he's not teaching biol 1412... Great prof!
Excellent professor, excellent educator and is exceptional at explaining physiological processes. Emphasizes what is important and his notes are very detailed and neat. However I do find him very condescending. He never really answered my questions properly and is not very approachable. Exam questions are meant to challenge your understanding.
Dr. Campbell is always willing to help and explain the material to you outside of class, you just need to send him an email. His lectures are entertaining as he is enthusiastic and funny. It's a difficult course but he explains everything well and if you study for the exams, they're fair. His slides are great with lots of detail and colour coded.
He's a hard-working researcher, but I wish that he cared more about the students he teaches. I hear that some students like him, but most don't.
one of the best profs out there , always willing to help outside of class time and veryyyyy funny makes class fun.
He is the person who is excellent in presentation the words he mentions are condensed and concise. some might misunderstand him as he never cares for the students, but it was wrong. He just want to be concise, does not want to repeat every single word. I am even a foreigner, and i can understand him very well, why do you need to hesitate, bros!
One of the worst profs i've had. Doesn't seem to care for students. Exams were always mis-worded but he would never admit it. Super rude and inappropriate comments. Would highly recommend taking online if possible
I admit, our class didn't start well. Didn't like him during the two first lectures. But after that, he's actually a funny guy and truly cares for his students. This is a challenging course since it is anatomy. In order to do well, you have to study and skim through the slides that will be discussed before every lecture. His lec notes are the best.
Comes off as a bit of a hard ass at first but after the first few classes you can tell he truly cares for his students success. His notes are SUPER organized and colour coded which helped me tremendously.
Hard class, great prof! Great notes.
Dr. Campbell is decent at explaining the challenging concepts of this course. However, his hostility towards students is too much. Students were often too afraid to ask questions because he'd often respond angrily or condescendingly. Made webcam quizzes (as punishment) for whatever reason and quizzes often weren't reflective of material. Study!
Funny guy who knows his stuff. Anatomy is hard no matter who it's with, so if you can take this course with him - do it!
He's clear, and he knows the material okay. But his attitude towards students is like that of a French Chief: "I want you to do well so I'm going to yell and throw a tantrum when you don't tell me what I want immediately". He comes across as whiny and unlikeable. Normally, I don't care about personality; I'm here to learn. But his is unpalatable.
Absolute monster. Rude and hostile to students after being cocky about giving such hard tests. When we asked for more time or for questions to be more fair in length, he says that he is not to blame for the overwhelming majority of students failing. Gives 2 days to review lectures. In a pandemic, there is no consideration from this prof.
Seemed alright until after the first quiz. Made questions too long for the time allotted and the majority didn't pass. Refused to listen to students' concerns regarding future tests. Seems to expect you to know the material as well as he does. Make sure you take notes on things he says in class. Textbook is optional.
Not caring towards students, brushes off them all. He thinks in order to reduce cheating (a very small proportion of students), he makes the quizzes supper hard so that more than half of the class gets <50% on the test, the average was in the 20's, and had the nerve to say "1 person got 100%, so this test was fair", that person was an outlier. No!
The worst prof I have had so far. Doesn't care about the students. He is trying to stop the students from cheating by giving them no time at all during the exams. The average of far below 50%.
Very rude, makes snarky comments in class, unprofessional. Not sure if the pandemic is getting to him or what the issue is but hes not caring for his students at all. Lol
rude, unprofessional and disrespectful... baffling asked a question and absolutely got shat on. does not like feedbacks or criticisms from students. changes syllabus mid semester without telling the class- make sure you check the syllabus 90 times a day to be updated because you never know what will change and when.
this guy changed the syllabus without telling his students... isn't this going against university policy... unbelievable.
Hes good as a professor as in sense of teaching, explains concepts very well and has good lecture slides to go off of. However, students often scared to ask questions as he makes you feel stupid for asking, whatever it may be. Someone brought up having anxiety during respondus testing & his response was i dont buy it disregarding mental health.
I think he has a bad case of GOD complex. He makes students feel dumb for asking legit questions (even if they may think they are dumb). We are students for a reason, he should be grateful that we are even asking Q in the first place, because it shows what we care about doing well, rather than being apathetic and not asking anything at all. My god.
Best prof ever. Period. To many whiny students in our class that unfortunately ruined it for the rest of us.
Skip this prof! His lack of compassion when it comes to students and arrogant manner add too much stress to an already detail oriented course. His multiple choice questions are the trickiest Ive ever encountered (honestly biochem 2 was easier). Take the distance ed version to save your sanity!
Truly the worst prof I have ever had. Arrogant and a jerk doesn't care about student feedback or students in general. Has a god complex and must be the smartest in the room, even if that means making students feel stupid for asking questions when that is supposedly what he wants.
W22 CVS, PS and Renal sections. A very knowledgeable professor, focused on helping students learn & brings passion to his lectures; humor may not be everyone's cup of coffee, enjoyed his attempt at making the lectures colorful, when he was staring at primarily blank zoom squares. Dr. Campbell expects some thoughtfulness prior to asking a question.
Campbell is certainly a smart man, and is very knowledgable on the subjects he teaches. It's always tough to teach over Zoom, but at the beginning of every single lecture he would complain that only half the class showed up. Made me feel like I was in trouble -- even though I was there every time! Very detailed coursework (and tests) also.
Dr. Campbell is extremely knowledgeable and highly passionate about physiology. However, he is condescending, and does not respond quickly to emails. He often would make remarks like "This stuff isn't hard," which undermined my confidence when I was struggling with the content. I'm not sure I passed this course, and I'm typically an A+ student.
He explains things thoroughly in class but is hand's down the most condescending professor I've ever had. Questions are worded to trip you up. Take if you must but avoid if you can.
He is very knowledgeable, and he explains everything clearly. Though physiology is not included in this course, he may introduce some of them to help you understand what you are currently learning. You would realize some of his explanation and summarization are helpful during the exam review.
Best prof ever he helped me a lot in understanding anatomy
Gives out an incredible amount of information in the most unhelpful condescending way ever. He tries to make everything seem much more than it actually is just so he can brag about how smart he is. Exams questions were unfair. We had prof change halfway through and the other guy (Dirk Wairuch(something like that)) was sooo much better.
I really liked this prof, he explained things well and kept the lectures engaging and interesting. Testing is widely based on concepts rather than straight facts but the questions and answers on the midterm were so long I had to worry about time, so use your time wisely. He does genuinely want everyone to do well.
the only thing i didnt like was his PowerPoint slides are filled with extraneous info, and he can use some convoluted language to explain simple physiological processes. But besides that he is a very knowledgeable guy. His tests make u critically think, so u need to know the content material well. He is funny sometimes too. He has a good heart.
This prof is definitely intimidating, but keeps you engaged during class. The notes contain most of the tested information, but make sure to add notes for things said in class for clarification. He's a funny guy and likes to crack jokes, and loves when students ask questions. Overall he was great!
He knows what hes talking about in lectures, easy to understand information that he presented and well organized slides. Definitely go to lectures because he goes intp useful detail verbally. Exams were straight forward and if you study from the lectures and quizzes should be a relatively easy class.
This guy doesn't know how to teach. Seems he didn't realize teaching isn't about him but about the students. Clear sign of god complex, which is embarrassing considering he's teaching at U of M. People just want to learn but he's here making fun of us. Must be a Dom at home lmao
I've had a hard time understanding answers to what I thought were easy questions. He likes to show you how knowledgeable he is on the subject. Was disappointed as he initially presented himself as an expert in the subject. Take another prof if possible and if not, don't worry if he goes on tangents and rambles about how much he's accomplished.
Absolutely loved Kevin. Anatomy is ROUGH but he made the class very engaging and a little more bearable. I loved these classes I would pay his paycheck myself. Anatomy is really difficult though; very information dense, and only marks are from the midterms (2) and the final exam. You go Kevin
Anatomy itself is a tough class but lectures with Dr. Campbell made the late time slot well worth it. He is engaging, funny, and very honest. He explained things as well as he could and never failed to keep a smile on at least one student's face in every class.
