He gives great written notes. you dont even need the book. He emails all of the pictures, slides and illistrations you need. He really teaches! The tests are very fair. Just study your notes. He's very professional and easy going. I would definitely take his class again.
had to drop personal reasons
he is not that helpful. he will leave you thinking that you will definitely pass his class then he will give you a D. hes always late and very unorganized. he told me not to think twice about the first exam that i failed and told everyone not to stress out. then failed me. i would not retake him.
Fairly easy class... I got a B... uses powerpoint for lecture... great teacher!

Great teacher...late all the time, but will answer questions after class. You can email him, but he won't respond unless the class bombard him. If you review the powerpoint presentation and rewiew questions you should pass the class.
One of the best teachers I have ever had. He explains everything in a way that you can actually understand and put it to use. I would definitely take him again!!
Very good teacher. Helpfull. Knows his stuff. Uses power point. Could not be easier. Gives revie sheet before test with everything that is going to be on the test. Easssssssssy A if you will study review sheet. Great great teacher !!!
Dr Mayfield really knew his stuff. But was also the absentminded professor. He never responds to emails or post notes when he say he would. He always have a reason why he forgot. As far as the class, he was very knowledgable and did a great job teaching. Oh and did I say how attractive he is.
All semester i was stressing out. He is late to every class and never answered e-mails.He always made up reasons why he didnt show up or why he didnt respond. But in class he did try and help you as much as he could.He is very unorganized, But turned out to be OKAY. The class was fairly easy! I would take him again knowing what I know now! Best thi
Continue... the best thing to do is read the chapters he is decussing. He uses nothing but slides. Try not to fall behind because the test are on 3-4 chapters at a time!
Dr. Mayfield is the best science professor I've ever had. He's brilliant & has a cool sense of humor. I loved lecture. I hear people on the flakiness issue, but you know what? He doesn't sweat every little thing about his students, so cut him some slack. He's all about what's important - the material - and excels at it. I miss him!!
Dr. Mayfield was an EXCELLENT professor and an even nicer individual. His lectures are intense but he gives you the slides as well as a review sheet with pretty much ALL of the test questions. He answers EVERY question and is quite brilliant. We talked college basket ball after class. My only complaint was, he was late. I would take him anytime!!!!
get a grip
The only reason you wouldn't do well in this class would be you, He's a great prof that totally knows what he's talking about and makes the material applicable to real life situations. love him.
Prof mayfield is the best science teacher ever. He knows his stuff and does not mind sharing his knowledge. Also he relates the lessons to real life situatios and is fair, easy going and funny. I would take him for all of my classes if possible.
Prof. Mayfield is by far, the worst biology teacher in history! You cannot ask any questions in his class or he will huff and puff till he blows away. Even though we complained to the head of the Dept., he managed to keep his position. DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS UNLESS YOU KNOW YOUR STUFF!!!!!!!!
Great teacher, very knowledgeable!!! Only bad thing is he shows up late to class which really isn't that big a deal but he never returns emails! And if he does it will be 3 weeks later! But he does relate material well and always has reviews/outlines for class!
Was extremely boring and often did not show up for class. He hated to answer his students questions about when the tests would be scheduled. He definitely knows what he is talking about but has no real passion for sharing it with his students.
I do not understand why CCP does not screen their professors before hiring them to teach. Teaching is the one thing Mayfield seems to dislike doing the most. He is always late and NEVER wants you to ask any questions regardless of whether you understand the material or not. I DO NOT recommend this instructor to anyone who wants to learn and pass.
You're not allowed to ask him questions before/after class has to take place during otherwise he huffs and puffs and gets enoyed.Don't try emailing him either he'll reply 2 months after.He cancels class/lab any chance he gets&is always late to class. No body ever is on the same page when it comes to knowing when the exams/lab hw's are! If you got h
I don't think he has any desire, or passion for teaching! Plus he is very anti social that he doesn't want to be bothered with any questins! His exams make you feel like you're a 5th year Med Student-extremely hard! Lost all my passion, and motivation for A&P after attending his class!Everyone in his class is always frustrated and stressed out!
RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!!!! If you got him that is!
Hmmm, completely lacks communication and social skills therefore, cluless about how to connect with his students. No body in the class on the same page.Everone walks around cluless when things are due.You really have to teach your ownself don't expect any help from him!He's got good lectures tho but nothing he ever talks about comes up on the exam.
Never been this frustrated in any of my classes before. And I wasn't the only one. It seemed that just about whole class was stressing out the minute we enter the class! Learning shouldn't be this frustrating and stressful really! It is true, Dr. Mayfield is not aproachable at all and his exams are very hard. Good Luck.
All that said before me is correct!Dr.Mayfield is a very smart guy,knows his stuff, a good lecturer but his exams suck.They're too hard.Nothing he covers in the class comes up on the exam.And he always comes in late and everyone always wondering about exam dates andHW due dates.And a lot of people were frustrated b/c you can't ask him any questions
He has no teaching skills what so eva. You gotta teach yourself. It was crystal clear that it is all about the pay check to him cuz he surely didn't enjoy being in the class. I was really passionate about A&P but he totally brough it down. His exams are horrible hard and you don't really get to see how you did on it. Get out if you can if you got h
If you think you r a Harvard, Yale type student-take his class you may be able to pass!If not GET OUT WHILE YOU CAN!Exams are HARD!What he teaches don't come up on the exams!I think he hates teaching!He is horrible at itHe is always late!Hates emails/questions!TheBIO department is short staffed which is why they didn't get rid of him yet I think!
Half the class failed and more than the other half barely passed that we gotta take it all over again!Mayfield has been repeatedly complained about to the department! The man can't teach!&yes it is true everyone in the class was frustrated at all times!No one ever knew when things were due nor the actual exam dates!!Get OUT!! SERIOUSLY!
Don't let him get you to belive that you'll pullup your grade by the end of the semester! He misleads people to save his behind.So don't go on thinking that there is a curve or something at the end b/cthere isn't!Drop the class early as possible to get yo money back an even if you're late drop it anyway even if it means W.Don't let him lower yoGPA!
Yeah I fell into that same trap too.If you try talking to him about your performance he says things like we'll see how things go so he makes you think that there is some sort of a curve or something in the end but better belive it there is no curve.If you are doing bad drop it and settle for a W instead of dropping that GPA.Mayfield is no joke.
Not only the students but even other CCP members seem to think there is something wrong with him.His name randomly came up and my advisor told me she had like 7or so students came and cry to her about how they're failing Mayfield's class and how they have to go and retake the class again.Yeah, if you're doing bad on Tests then best thing 2 do Drop!
Very unorganized! Tests are horrible hard! Never responds to emails! Don't really care to be there in the class! Because he is always late..we're always behind on labs and other chapters to be covered! Get out if you can!
I managed to get an A in his class but I have to say I haven't learned a darn thing.He skipped around a lot hell I still don't know how to take blood pressure cause he never covered it with us. I hope he won't end up being my Micro 241 teacher cause I'll definitely drop it. Never wanna take another class from him!He is so unorganized!Cares so less!
Yeppers he leads you thinking there is curve or something in the end but there isn't :( He is just not a very good teacher what can I say
Very unproffesional at teaching, he seems like he so cares less. I don't even think that he makes up his own exams cause what he lectures and what he test you on are total different things.He skips chapters and always comes in late.
Teaching ain't his cup of tea because you can tell that he doesn't like being there. You can tell when someone really enjoys their profession and he surely ain't one. I haven't learned much in class. :(
I would never take another class from Dr. Mayfield.He maybe nice in person but his exams fail you and bring you down.Then if you try talking to him he'll let you thinking that you may pass the class and just hang in there but nope it's all a lie if you're doing bad on the exam you got no chanse! ANd he doesn't seem like he likes teaching a lot!
Some ppl. just can't teach and he is one of them.He doesn't know how to reach out to his students and very likely cares less.So if you got low grades on the exams chances are you'll have to retake the class. I would drop it and take it from someone else.
Not much left to say, he is a quite and a mysterious guy...but the mystery fades once he fails you and you have to retake the class. He mislead me too saying lets wait and see how things go when I was continuously getting bad grades on the exams. So I suggest don't buy into it. Tests he gives are very hard. And he is extremely unorganized and late.
Prof. Mayfield is a great professor! He does a really great job connecting A&P to actual health professions. Even though his tests do not involve easy, straightforward questions, his lectures were great and covered everything that were on his tests. I recommend Prof. Mayfield if you actually want to learn about A&P, not just pass.
He is late to class all the time. Nobody ever knows what is due when. His exams are out of the world hard. If you do end up learning anything it is because you did it on your own. Gotta B but didn't at all enjoy taking it from him.
Good person, very smart in the field but seem to care less about teaching it.Very ignorant, always late to class, it's like he just doesn't care, and tired of teaching or something oh and his Tests..uhmmm good luck. Nothing he lectures comes on the test. Very unorganized. We fell behind other Bio classes and was behind on our disection too.
i took dr.mayfield last spring. he is clear in his lectures and organized in his presentations. his tests were not confusing at all. he wanted us all to succeed. i would highly reccommend.
He is very ignorant! Almost don't care to teach. Not sure where he get's the exams from but they're definitely not from his lectures. Didn't enjoy his style of teaching...sorry to all that stuck with him
Young and shows not too much interest in teaching,lots of folks are stressed in his class, ain't nobody know when HW are due and when exams are and all that.I don't wanna take another class from this guy for sure
Don't have much enthusiasm to teach and reach out to his students. I don't want to take another class from him!
He has favorites in the class.He focuses and makes an eye contact with about 1 or 2 girls in the entire class and it felt like he was teaching only to those and no one else!He makes sure that they A'ce the exams and cares less about the rest of the class. Oh yeah true--ALWAYS late to class too!B/c of him number of people retake this class WastoTime
Avoid taking any BIO classes from him if you can
Good guy in person, good lectures, but boy where is he getting those exams from? I get the feeling he doesn't make up his exams. Oh yeah he is always late too which I find very unprofessional and rude to students who always do come on time!
Everyone was always aggravated to the top noch he never makes the exam dates nor the lab hw due dates clear. And also agree with everyone that his exams are really hard. And yes he does seem pretty careless about how well you do in his class. :(
He was a waste of TIME and money!!!! Wouldn't advise him to no one!
Showed interest in the subject, good teacher as far as relating examples to health professions. Test Difficult and lab assignments were unclear on due dates. Overall I would take him again
what can i say
This teacher was a waste of my time and money. He was late to class 90% of the time, not clear on test dates, test material was unclear, lab work was nonexistent, never replied to emails/questions, cancelled classes and class didn't know until after class was supposed to start...I could go on and on. DO NOT TAKE THIS TEACHER!!!
Dr. Mayfield was all over the place w/Lab. Waited for him to show for every class and was not prepared where Labs were concerned...dropped his class as I felt that I wasn't grasping how he would teach as he was not approachable to ask a question..Chewed a classmates head off for asking a question once made her feel stupid for asking. Poor teacher!
Unfortunately I have to agree with all the responses about him - he's always late. Never know when labs are due. You do the lab, he doesn't pick it up anyway. I don't think I've learned a thing! Please doc, teach, interact with your students, don't talk at us! OMG! never again. I have never had such a bad experience with a teacher.
Pro. Mayfield is an intelligent man but doesn't know how to teach an entire class. He gives out too much information to read. His tests are very hard he reword every thing to confuse you.It's a waste of time and money to take his class.Your transcript will take a dive for your GPA. Warning, donot take his class!
He was ALWAYS late and not respectful of other people's time. However, I learned so much in his class. I didn't just memorize the text. If you do the study guides and read what he assigns you will get an A. I pretty much aced every test. If you don't he'll give them back for to to correct for extra points.
Study guide isn't available until a day before a quiz. Doesn't really answer questions and gets angry when asked a question. Teaches straight from the powerpoint slides and is extremely boring. Don't really assign homework. If you can find another bio professor.
Teaches straight from powerpoints. There is no class interaction. Study guides are super long, and majority will have nothing to do with the test. He's smart, but sucks at teaching.
He is not as hard as many people say, just keep up with what he is doing in class. As long as you put the time in and are prepared to study, you will do fine. Use all the available resources, textbook, notes, review sheets, use google and youtube...
Excellent teacher, you either got it or you didn't.
He is a horrible teacher. Teaches straight from the PowerPoint. He cancelled 3 classes right before we had a test when those days could've been used to review, which he does not do. He gives study guides that are overly detailed and the exam is completely different. If you ask him a question he gives a smart ass reply like you should already know
2nd time taking class for a nursing program. I got a A the first time. but the class years expired . This time the material is different. nothing seem to stick. the study guide was very long and detail about 4 to 6 pages type and to me did not match the test at all. only extra credit you can get is at test. I withdrawal from the class.
Best instructor that I had at CCP! Very knowledgeable in A&P and clearly enjoys teaching. Wants you to really learn the material and teaches like it. Has a webpage with LOTS of helpful study resources, and exams all come from lectures and study guides. Take him if you're serious about learning. I'd stay away if I was just trying to pass.
Best professor I had at CCP. Very knowledgeable in A&P and teaches like he enjoys it. Class is organized and lots of extra study resources on the course webpage. Exams come straight from his lectures & study guides. He really wants you to learn. Great if you're serious about learning; stay away if you're not willing to work just wanna pass.
Good professor, if you listen to his lectures and read the chapters, you will pass.
Great Lecturer. Knows material very well. Passionate about teaching. Hes definetely an instructor you want to learn from. As long as you do your part you will walk away from his class with excellent knowledge of the material. Multiple lecture and lab exams + extra credit which helps to increase the overall score. You can get As if thats your goal
I was impressed, he really knows this stuff. If you want to learn the material, he's a great teacher but stay away if you want an easy A. There were 8-10 exams but no homework. I thought the exams were fair or even easy, as long as I knew the material but over half the class dropped out. Some communication issues, mostly around changing exam dates.
I had to drop his class due to my work overload at the hospital.. hes an excellent professor and I would take him again... he knows his stuff.. like come on think about it in the real world you have to know your stuff . If you want an easy a then go find another professor. But you can learn alot in his class and walk away feeling good.
Dr Mayfield is very intelligent. He knows this subject by heart. Students need to read and understand everything even if he says its not on the test; it is. No homework, use your textbooks to help you remember, read everything on canvas, and he gives extra credit on all exams.
Professor Mayfield is a great teacher. If you follow his directions, read your assignment, form a study group you will pass. IF YOU MISS HIS CLASS AND BE ON YOUR CELL PHONE YOU WILL NOT PASS. He is a very passionate teacher who loves to teach. You will get a whole lot of information. The key is study as soon class is over. Good luck
Prof. Mayfield is SO passionate about this course. He clearly knows his stuff very well - always loves answering questions about the subject and how it relates/applies to real life. Class wasn't easy though - definitely need to read and STUDY. Gives lots of extra credit. Gives out study guides to help prepare for tests. Labs were boring, but fine.
Dr. Mayfield's a brilliant professor and one of the most caring at CCP. He explains the material really well and tries to make sure you understand it. He gives very helpful study guides for each exam and extra credit. Come to class and read the textbook regularly to pass. Nursing is tough and his BIOL 110 class will prepare you well for it!
I took a 6-week version of A&P II. Dr. Mayfield really knows his stuff! Made the lectures really interesting, easy to understand, and encouraging if you fall behind in the course. Very helpful study guides and tells you exactly what you need to know for his exams. If you want to get prepared for nursing or PA school, take his course!
If you work full-time & have a family, than this is not the course for you. This course is designed for someone that is single or recently out of high-school. You need to read the text & study, there are about 10 exams & barely any lab assignments, everything is lecture. However he really knows the subject.
Prof. M is truly the definition of a passionate mentor. His knowledge of Anatomy & Physiology is so widespread - he knows the facts, and can apply them to practical, real-life scenarios. This class is not an easy A, but if you're determined and really serious about the healthcare field, he will help you succeed. Great professor all around!
Anatomy and physiology is definitely a tough class, but Professor Mayfield did an awesome job helping us learn the material. He prepares you for all of the exams and the study guides are great. He does his job as a Professor, but you definitely have to be committed as well by studying coming to class and ensuring you understand the material.
Dr. Mayfield is absolutely scholarly about human anatomy and physiology. He will help you to understand the material, and provides study guides for all exams! He is an extremely motivating professor. He wants the best for his students in the classroom, and in their chosen careers! Take BIO 109 with Dr. Mayfield and you will be forever grateful!
Dr. Mayfield really knows his stuff. He conveys difficult material in a really understandable way. Others have complained about the difficulty but I had no problem with his class. As long as you study and put the effort in, you'll get graded accordingly. He loves the material and its obvious. I would definitely take his class again if I was able.
Prof. Kory was one of the best lecturer I had have in CCP. He was always ready to teach and answer questions at any time. The most amazing qualities of Prof. Kory is his ability to draw diagrams on the broad to demonstrate his teaching. I never knew I would understand the mechanism of the HEART till Kory explained it in the class. Kory is GOOD.
Dr. Mayfield is a great teacher, you just need to know that you have to read a lot and be on the game because BIO 213 is a heavy class with a lot of memorization. Professor Mayfield did a fantastic job, especially in the Summer. I had to read so much and fast. It does help to read ahead for the class, but If you haven't, he will make you understand
Great prof ! Very knowledgeable and you can tell he enjoys teaching and wants you to learn. Covers a lot of material but if you study, you'll be fine. He makes sure he connects everything class by class so things make sense from body system to body system. I definitely walked away feeling I was ready for A&P2 for sure !
Professor was very passionate about the material and explained things well but lab was easy and lecture was extremely intense. He also promised to put grades up within 48 hours but you wouldn't know your grade for weeks. He would also make you feel uncomfortable for asking any questions. I would recommend to take any other professor.
Professor Mayfield is very passionate about the material. The class is lecture and exam heavy. He is willing to help you pass his class as long as your willing to put forth effort.
I enrolled in the 10 week course for Fall 2019 with Dr. Kory Mayfield. He is knowledgeable, passionate about A&P and interested in his students learning the material. His lectures are interesting and clear. He provides study aides/guides which help to the material as well as prepare you for the exams. You will work hard, but you will learn much.
If you are truly interested in a career in science, take Dr. Mayfield. He knows A&P frontwards and backwards. I learned a lot in his class and felt prepared for Biology 110. Let me be clear. You have to READ and STUDY. He will not bump up your grades. YOU have to EARN the grade. STUDY everything. Study then, use his study guides.
Very knowledgeable guy. Maybe if inside of a classroom versus online it wouldve been a more pleasant experience but this just aint it man.
He make you feel uncomfortable about asking questions! He lectures are all over the place. He goes over his time on every class. He spends too much time on things that are not on test, and then tries to rush the lecture at the end. He teach method is not great, yes he is knowledgeable, but not for a college class .
Just plain terrible. Disjointed. Confused. Ineffective. Not intelligent. Broad knowledge gaps. Do yourself a favor and take any other professor.
Very knowledgeable and straightforward with grading. However, the grading system is not the fairest as your entire grade is based on exams and no other assignments which hurt me because of test anxiety. I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH!!- Do all extra credit assignments. They really make a difference to your grade. They bumped my grade from a D to a C.
Professor Mayfield is knowledgeable, but his teaching style can be a bit disjointed. Definitely put in the work - read the textbook, use his study guides, and try unstuck AI for extra prep. Tough class, but doable with dedication.
He's seems like a great guy, but class was really hard for me. Our only grades were the lecture exam and lab exam. He claimed to give extra credit on quizzes that are 70-100 questions just for it to not be applied to the final grade.
He is unorganized, he last minute on everything. He will say something is posted but it was not. He likes to hear himself talk, he will lecture for hours about one topic, like move on. His exam never matched lecture. Lab exams, straight forward I had never gotten lower than a 92. Grading is strange he changed my final exam grade 8 times in one day.
I understand the mixed reviews. He is immensely knowledgeable in his field. You really have to study hard; there's no way around that and really no extra credit. But, you will learn a ton. I am going on to an accelerated nursing program and I know that also won't be easy! In the end, it all felt worth it for me and I'm grateful for the experience.
Good guy very unorganized
I took This professor fall 2025, although he is a very nice guy, he's not ideal to take
