Professor Midgley is a wonderful man and enthusiastic professor. He truly cares about his students and is readily available to help outside of class. His tests can be tricky, and grades in this class are all over the place. However, if you study his powerpoints in detail, you should be just fine.

Midgley is a nice guy and all but he is a pretty bad professor. For this course he made his exams out of 75 so to get 90 on his exam you could only lose 6 points throughout the whole exam, plus his questions are tricky. My biggest complaint is that the material he focuses on in class doesn't translate to his exams. And his powerpoints are useless.

Professor Midgley is a good guy, and he tries to make the class entertaining. His tests are hard, but if you review the notes and powerpoints and take the time to meet with him outside of class, you will be fine. He is not straightforward with what you need to know for the tests, so just make sure you understand all the information.

Professor Midgley is a great professor and a great guy. Anatomy is tough, but he was very clear with what was on the exams and there were never surprises. He made class shorter than usual to give you the opportunity to work independently at home which was nice. He was always available for help and answered any questions that were asked.

Best professor I have had. I was so scared for anatomy, but he made me feel so much better about it. He was very clear in his slides and goes around the room to help you with whatever you need. Don't have anything bad to say about him. He is passionate about anatomy and so sweet. He tells you exactly what you should expect on the test.

Professor Midgley is one of the best professors I've had. His lectures are engaging which helps students focus and better understand the material. Every time I met with him at office hours, he was very kind and helpful on how to approach the upcoming exam. When he teaches, he has clinical questions which is good practice because they're on exams.

Midgley is great and is very encouraging in class. He is accessible outside of class as well, and tries to ensure his students succeed. The lecture part of lab is helpful, and the worksheets are too! Not too much work outside of class either. Highly recommend!!!

Take Midgley for anatomy lab if you can!!! Anatomy lab is a lot of material with your exams the majority of your grade but he prepares you so well for each exam. He will let you know all the material covered and even includes pictures of models on the exam. He is so much fun to have as a professor and genuinely cares about his students.

This is my favorite professor for lab! He makes himself available outside of class and actually wants you to do well in this course. He structures his labs very well so you don't feel like you're there for three hours, you have work in groups as well as self paced stations and group review. Midgley is the best such an amazing teacher!

Professor Midgley is a great teacher and a great guy. He makes sure you are well prepared and gives you all the tools to get an A in this class. Lab is hard no matter what and it takes effort. His practicals are extremely fair and if you listen to his study plan you will do good. He is awesome and does not deserve one bad review

Really nice guy and tries to make lectures more fun. However, his exams were a little tough and very specific. Any material in his lectures was up for grabs on the exam no matter how unimportant it seemed. Really have to study everything and not skip out on details. He is pretty accessible outside of class and tries his best to support you.

Midgley is one of the best professors I have ever had. He is accessible and willing to help outside of class. Once you learn how to properly study for anatomy, his class can be very manageable. Anatomy is a hard subject and his class does required a lot of effort. I would have easily had an A if I did not let one exam slide. Highly recommend him.

TAKE MIDGLEY!! I had him for BIO 211 and 212, and never got below an 89 on anything. He is constantly avaliable, answers emails, is friendly, funny and excited about anatomy. His exams are challenging but not if you study. Not much else to say besides he will be the best lab professor you take at QU hands down.

Exams are only hard if you don't study, but again he is clear on what he wants you to know. He's also always more than willing to help and wants his students to succeed, funny too!

Professor Midgley gave me good feedback after exams, and he does care for his students. A&P was not easy for me but he was available outside of class and answered my emails in a timely manner. I loved his lectures as he used many visual examples during class, and this helped me a lot since I am a visual learner.

Midgley was one of the best professors I've ever taken. Attendance isn't mandatory but you miss sm if you skip. Exams were given online take home which made them less stressful. Writing assignments were so annoying but only could for a small percentage. Would take over anyone else

I LOVED professor Midgley, being in his anatomy and physiology lab was genuinely one of my favorite parts of this semester. He's really funny, kind, smart, and a very fair tester/grader. Attendance is really important to understand the content. He makes the content engaging. I'd love to take another one of his classes.
