Prof. Bartow is a great guy- I can tell. He knows his stuff, and apparently is a Marine biology major (which is pretty cool). Lectures are long and lenient, but as long as you keep up with the Pearson Mastering Homework (use the book to find the answers), and quizzes (which help remember the material), you'll do fine ! The text you use is great too

This was such a fun class ! The only downfall is there are only a few things that are graded, so you need to do well on everything in order to pass. Super hands on- you will need dissecting kits and gloves etc. YES you need the IRSC lab book, it also helps so much for lecture and testing for both classes. Fun, and engaging, I loved it !

Professor Bartow is by far my favorite professor I've taken thus far. He is well organized, outgoing, cool guy! If you have any issues or questions he is always there to help out. Basically if you pay attention in class while following the chapter notes, complete the study guides, do hw and quizzes before due date, you will do great in his class!

A great teacher for this class. There is a large amount of material that must be memorized, but all information for the practicals are in the power points. Use flash cards made from the power points and study, study, study! Just a little effort for this class will go a long way.

For his labs, he gives a great lecture. He provides a practice quiz that is optional, but let's you know if you are ready for the lab practical. 4 lab practicals throughout the semester with bonus and freebie questions on each. He also gives a study guide for each test that tells you exactly what to focus on when studying.

Good Professor. I will say I took his class online, so the classroom experience might be different, but all in all solid class. The study guides will steer you in the right directions for the test, but it will not give you an A just to remember the guide it self. To some extent you have to know the material, which i appreciate honestly. Recommend

Professor Bartow provides clear outline of what will be required through the semester and makes it fairly easy for you to pass with an "A" if you are willing to put forth effort. There were 4 exams, quite a bit of interactive "busy work" modules, and one proctored exam. I would recommend taking this science class in person or online!

Took A&P-I for Summer A. That was my mistake- a lot of material to cram into a short amount of time. However, I found Prof. Bartows class to be fair w/ some flexibility built into it. Unit HW/quizzes will take a few hours to knock out, but are set up to give you feedback so you know what you need to brush up on. I would take him for A&P-II.

There are also 3D models in the room and Prof. Bartow will help you with any questions. He also gives a little bit of xtr credit based off of attendance.
