Great teacher! Made class very interesting to go to and very helpful! You should do well if you study with notes. Very straight forward. Best thing is that hes a hot Canadian!
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.
His class was very challenging but manageable. He gives plenty of opportunities to meet outside of class, and he is very willing to explain things multiple times.
He is truly a great professor. He told us he's only working part time now and he might go back to canada? QUINNIPIAC NEEDS TO KEEP HIM!! I learned so much in this class. He uses power points and explains everything in clear detail in a way you can understand. The environment in easygoing, yet productive. He's also funny! be prepared for a challenge
Best Bio teacher I've ever had. Give you two social reason skips and give small texting breaks. Powerpoint are very clear perfectly detailed. He explains everything in a way that makes it easy to understand. I highly recommend taking him
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.
Without a doubt the best professor I've ever had at Quinnipiac. He made the class interesting and concepts easy to understand. Exams were a little difficult but he always told us what we would need to know and what not to waste our time studying. If you go to class, pay attention, and study, it is easy to do well in this class.
Wonderful teacher!!! I wanted to take him again for 2nd semester anatomy, but his section was closed. 3 hour classes are rough, but Prof Midgley makes them engaging. You have to work hard for your grade, but if you pay attention in class and review his powerpoints, you will do well.
Awesome professor. He's smart, funny and cares about the success of his students. Tests aren't easy, but they're manageable if you put the effort in. Definitely go to class because he emphasizes important concepts that he'll definitely include on the exams. Really engaging- three hour lecture was a lot more bearable.
Midgley is a very great and helpful professor, although is exams can be very difficult. If you do not put the time in you won't do well, but he is always willing to help anyway he can. Always makes class entertaining. Definitely my favorite professor.
Professor Midgley is great. It is hard to stay focused in a three hour class, but he makes his PowerPoints pretty interesting. He also gives breaks during the class! His tests are not easy if you don't study a decent amount for them. But he is always there to meet with you and responds to emails very quickly. I would definitely take him!
Literally amazing. He puts so much effort into the class and you can tell he truly cares about how his students are doing. His exams are not too bad, but as long as you study hard you'll do great. I got all 90's and then one bad grade and still ended up with an A-. Loved his class which I could take him again.
overall very easy class if you put in the work. Every thing you need to know for the test is in his powerpoint. His powerpoints are very detailed! Study his powerpoint and you will be fine. Attendance is mandatory! DO NOT HAVE YOUR PHONE ON!! He hates when phone ring in class. Overall highly recommend makes learning anatomy fun and interactive.
He's one of the easier professors to take for anatomy. You just need to study off the powerpoints he gives and you're golden. Obviously anatomy isn't an easy subject, but he is very straightforward (no surprises on test). Great guy and is pretty funny.
Such an amazing teacher and man. Made anatomy 1 easy to understand and was very helpful with his power points. would take again in a heart beat.
He is a pretty good professor during lab, but it is impossible to get a good grade on his tests or lab reports. Extremely diffuser grader and test questions are very confusing. Do not recommend taking.
He is a very tough grader and nit picky even though he claims he's not. Lab reports are graded very harshly along with lab presentations and he makes his lab test unnecessarily difficult. Good guy but wouldn't take again, like ever.
great teacher. his powerpoint were so helpful and he is cornyfunny.
Good guy and pretty funny. I enjoyed the class and learned a lot, however, sometimes he would grade hard on our work and the group projects could be a pain.
Nice guy, tries to help, but the class overall is outrageously hard. This class has made me reconsider my major and what I want to do with my life. Caused me a lot of stress. Wouldn't take again.
I had Professor Midgley for BIO211L and to be honest I don't think I would take it again. He is a great guy and I enjoyed going to class in the begging but near the end it was pretty bad because the tests were very tough, and we often had to do self directed learning which is on the test. He makes things more difficult than they have to be, a lot.
Very clear and thorough in lecture. Will go through things multiple times of you dot understand them. Not a huge fan of the way he organizes his power points, but he always gives extra resources and activities for practice. He's also adorable and has a very cute personality.. you will enjoy looking at him during class.
He's really funny. He makes lectures interesting. Plays music before class starts. He uses real life examples to help things click. Really helpful.
Prof. Midgley is very kind and wants his students to pass. If you understand the material and pay attention you should do fine. He makes things fun and explains important concepts multiple times, in depth, and with relatable examples. Taking again next semester.
I had Professor Midgley for BIO211 Lecture, and I can honestly say that he was one of the best professors I have ever had in my time at Quinnipiac. Professor Midgley makes a sincere effort to get all 60+ students in the class engaged in every lecture, and he makes it a point to include humor in all of his powerpoints, successfully. Exams are fair!
One of the best professors I have had at QU.
Professor Midgley is a great guy and he really knows what he's talking about. Very willing to schedule office hours appointments and very helpful when you show up. Obviously anatomy is a hard class but Midgley is funny and his teaching style is very straightforward - there are no surprises on the tests. Would definitely take again!
Professor Midgley does exactly what a teach is supposed to do, make any topic relatable, relevant, and interesting. He starts class with EDM, his test are as straight forward as they come, and he's just a cool dude.
I absolutely loved this class! Professor Midgley made it so interesting and it wasn't like the typical boring monotone lecture at all! I feel like I actually understood what I learned and for someone who doesn't love anatomy, that's huge. I would definitely take his class again!
Great professor! Always ready to teach and explains very well! He's always available for extra help if you need it
Midgley is a OUTSTANDING professor. Yes, he is teaching anatomy, it is a hard class. However, Prof. Midgley gives you everything and MORE to pass. He always goes out of his ways for his students. Anyone that says he isn't easy probably didn't do well because A & P is tough. Not because Midgley made it that way. Hands down phenomenal professor.
He is not one of those teachers that you can show up and get an easy A but if you simply attend class and study a little bit, this class will be easy to pass. Tests are all multiple choice and moderate difficulty. I would definetly take him again as he is very clear and makes class interesting.
Great professor & great lectures. Tests are easy if you just go through his powerpoints, but he gives other resources as well. Funny in class, which keeps it entertaining. Very smart guy who cares about his students. Wants you to enjoy a challenging course, which he makes easy. Personally, my favorite biology professor. Would definitely recommend.
Midgley is a great anatomy teacher and one of the best teachers I've had at quinnipiac yet. It's a hard subject so the class is a bit challenging but he tries to make it as fun and painless as possible. He is a very fair teacher and really cares about all his students. Would recommend his class highly!
Professor Midgley is a great professor. His lectures are never boring because he always puts humor into them and tries to change it up. I had him for lab and lecture and enjoyed both. He even tries to make his assignments fun to do. As long as you study hard and pay attention you will do well (just like any other anatomy class).
He is an amazing professor! He puts a lot of effort into his lectures to make them engaging and interesting, even when the topic itself isn't. He is very prompt in answering emails and he is always there to gladly help you if you need it. One of the best professors I've had at Quinnipiac by far! Take him and you won't regret it.
By far best anatomy teacher at QU. Had him for Anatomy 211 lab and so happy I did. He's so clear about what he wants and is always there for you during office hours.
Great class, better than other appreciation classes. I would take again, he cares about his class. Take Midgley!
I LOVE Professor Midgley. He was the only professor I made sure I had again for my second semester at QU. He is extremely relatable to the students and has excellent powerpoints. Gives many tricks to help remember bones, muscles, and organs. His class was what I looked forward to every week. HIGHLY recommend. Plus he is very easy on the eyes!
Professor Midgley goes above and beyond. He is direct and clear about what he wants you to know, he is extremely relatable, enthusiastic, makes class a lively environment and makes you excited about learning challenging material like A&P. He is also hilarious. 100% recommend.
WOW Midgley is a gem! Anatomy is tough, and Midgley knows that. He teaches off his powerpoints, but makes it interesting with videos, demonstrations, and stories. He has us watch screen recordings, but they are very clear to understand. He is open and willing to help you and you can tell he cares about his students. He is also hilarious, TAKE!!!
Midgley is amazing! He is always there for extra help. His lectures are interesting and make me laugh every class. Definitely recommend!!!
He is a great bio professor and really makes his lectures fun. You will want to attend every lecture just to see what he might do that day.
Professor Midgley is amazing! Coming into BIO 211L, I was very nervous about being able to get anything higher then a B. However Professor Midgley has so many acronyms and tricks for us to remember everything. He is very clear about what will or what will not be on each exam. I am very sad that I did not get him again next semester :(
Professor Midgley is the best professor that I have had at QU so far. His class actually somehow goes by so fast, and he does his best to make things interesting and engage with the class. He is super down to earth and chill. Take his class!
I love Midge! He's super engaging. Sweet canadian boyle. His tests are a little hard but if you study and go see him to figure out which questions you needed help with he can work with you to figure out how to improve. Definitely recommend!
Professor Midgley is a great professor that really cares about the class and the students. His lectures are easy to understand and exams are right from the PowerPoint. His exams aren't hard if you study. He lets class out usually 10 minutes early. He tells funny jokes and loves talking about a Canadian band from his home town.
Midgley made Anatomy one of my favorite classes ever. He makes waking up for an 8 am seem easy and really makes his students feel prepared as well as cared about. If you have the opportunity to take him, do it regardless of the class time
Professor Midgley is a great professor who's lectures are so clear and explains things in a way that make everyone understand. Exams are directly from the PP, study and you'll do great!
He is caring & constantly checks in with the class to see if they are following along. He tries his best to simplify the material and demonstrate in mini activities which makes it funny. He plays music while he waits for class to starts & always talks about his band to lighten the mood. He occasionally gives treats for rewards. A creative teacher.
Very nice, friendly professor with an enthusiastic style of teaching, a fair choice considering how much anatomy content there is to be learned. Tough but very fair and clear on what is expected of you.
I have never met a professor who cares more about his students. I didn't do as well as I hoped to in his class but every time I met with him he would give me advice on how to do better and makes himself available for whoever needs him. His tests are kinda tricky but his lectures are always entertaining & he tries to relay the info in many ways.
Although Midgley is a great professor, the class itself was not my favorite. You have 3 big tests that can be very specific and he expects you to know everything. This class was one credit and I put in more work for this class than any other class. Midgley knows the class is hard and is willing to help but I just did not enjoy his class.
Nice person but really made this ONE credit lab 10X harder and stressful than lecture. Do not recommend, harder than it should be. Very unlikely you will get over a 90 on the presentations (takes off points for not being enthusiastic enough).
VERY tough grader. Would not recommend.
I wish I took Prof. Midgley both semesters. His exams are not easy but if you put in the time and the work, he tells you exactly how to study for them so they become manageable. His 8am lecture was not as brutal as I expected it to be and thoroughly explains the tough material in a way that is less painful to understand. TAKE!!
Midgley is a nice guy who cares about his students but his tests are just insanely specific sometimes. It isn't his fault that the tests are worth such a large percent of the final grade but he also graded the presentations ridiculously hard. He is always willing to make time to meet for extra help or to go over an exam/assignment.
Professor Midgley is my absolute favorite professor. He cares alot about his students and finds ways to explain difficult concepts very easy to understand. Loved going to his lecture even though it was at 8 am but very worth it. His tests can be some what difficult and if you don't study you won't do well. TAKE NOTES and READ BEFORE CLASS!
He genuinely wants students to do well. He's a very caring, knowledgeable professor that is very receptive to feedback from students. Take him if you want to learn and do well in lab.
I didn't love the way professor Midgley structured his labs online because it was a lot of wasted time sitting in breakout rooms when he could have just been lecturing. Super nice guy and he really cares about his students.
Definitely a nice guy and a good professor. Exams were just extremely hard and more conceptual than labeling and knowing the functions. Homework is not bad but you only get one attempt at answering a question.
Midgley is nice but this was the hardest class I have ever taken. His reviews are way too high. His tests are 10x harder than the other BIO211L professors. So many people failed. Expect to study for a few weeks before each exam if you want even a chance at passing.
Absolute gem of a professor! He is very knowledgeable and is chill with all of his students. He breaks down content well and tells you all that you need for practical exams. During class, he incorporates group work on anatomy models. Exams are difficult and require lots and lots of studying. Weekly quiz online. Overall, very funny and chill teacher
Prof Midgley is a great anatomy professor. Super great guy, and you can tell he really cares about his students! His labs are engaging and interesting. Tests can be difficult and require a lot of studying, however if you put in effort you will do well!
Professor Midgley is one of the top BIO 211 lab professors. Although labs are long he makes sure to always have engaging activities that will help you learn and memorize the material. He is always there to help explain anything that you need help with and he is very honest with what will be on the exams. Definitely take him!
Maybe Prof. M is a nice guy, but he is the worst teacher that I ever had. I went to class every week and paid attention and participated. I met with him 2 times outside of class where he assured me I was going to pass his class. He keeps you the full lab time, but you are required to teach urslef the whole time and present on info not tested on.
Absolute king of a professor, he really gets to know his students and ensures proper understanding of the material. Class is really straightforward and out very early. Weekly assignments are very straightforward. Exams you WILL have to study for. While it isnt strictly memorizing like in 211, you still need to know the info. Highly recommend!
this class is hard, but it is that way with ANY prof it is just a hard class in general. Midgley does EVERYTHING in his power to help you succeed, literally tells you exactly how he would break up the material to study, what study sessions he recommends, and is very clear with expectations. also clearly cares about his students. take him
He did not teacher the material in a good way. We had to teacher everything ourselves by walking around the classroom and labeling the skeleton and cadaver. He was very mean too and did not seem like he cared about his students. I would never take him again.
Midgley was the best lab professor I could ask for. He gives you a lot of class time to understand the material and is available outside of class. All you have to do is put in the effort and make use of your time in lab. Midgley provides you with ALL of the materials you need to succeed in anatomy and will answer all your q's. He's a great guy!
Prof Midgely is actually the best prof ever. Always cares abt his students, tests are fair, he makes the material easier to digest bc he knows it's hard to remember everything. I would take him again if I could. He never keeps us more than an hour and a half either. Absolute king.
Prof. Midgley is the best for anatomy lab. I had him for both bio211 lab in person as well as bio212 lab over the summer, so online. He is so helpful and provides an outline for every single exam. He gives you the information for the exam on blackboard. He is so nice and caring and really wants everyone to do well! Study and you will be fine!
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.
Amazing guy- gives review sheets of exactly whats going to be on the practicals. He is really easy going and makes lab so much fun. His lecture was better than my actual lecture class
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!
Fantastic Professor. Brings great attitude to class and it will honestly make your day. He provides every resource to let you succeed. Lots of material, but he provides everything for you to get an amazing grade. Extremely accessible outside class and will always give feedback as much as possible. Teaches in every style so info is very retainable.
Professor Midgley is an amazing lab professor. He is very clear about the content that will be on practicals and is extremely accessible outside of class time. He really wants his students to succeed and provides the resources needed to do so. He has a great personality and is very understanding. I would recommend him to anyone!
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
Best teacher ever!! 100% take him for any class he teaches! I had him for lab and he made the material so easy to understand and posted so many resources on Bb to ensure everyone got the most out of labs.
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.
I absolutely loved Midgley. His exams are straightforward and his slides are amazing. He's great at making complicated topics more manageable. I wish he was teaching 212. Super accessible, caring, and you can tell he puts in effort. Great prof. TAKE HIM!
Midgley is great, hes so sweet. He is willing to help students understand material and his slides make a lot of sense. Just make sure you're paying attention in class because he will hint to what questions he will add onto the exams
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.
100% best lab professor ever. He has clear expectations and sets all students up for success as long as you listen to what he is saying. 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 LOVE Professor Midgley!!! TAKE HIM!! He is super sweet and caring. He truly cares for his students. His lectures are amazing; he makes a tough subject like anatomy manageable and easy to understand. He also gets us engaged and always tells jokes. He constantly checks in with us to ensure we aren't lost. All tests except the final are take-home.
Professor Midgley is the greatest professor I have had at QU. He is hilarious but still gets all the teaching points across. He was always very responsive outside of class and truly cared about his students. He made the 3 hour labs go by quickly with his set ups and group work.
The BEST science professor at QU!!!! Take him if you can.
Professor Midgley is an amazing lab instructor who makes the material fun and accessible. He provides great resources, including review sheets, and is always available to help. Using unstuck AI along with the course materials really helped me succeed in this class.
Prof. Midgely gives his students everything they need to succeed. Is able to relate lecture to real world applications which makes what you are learning feel valuable. Not to mention he is just a really nice guy, always asks how everyone is doing, sends email updates regularly, just a class act.
Take Professor Midgley!!! I had him for 211 lecture and 212 lab and the guy is the greatest. He wants his students to succeed. His lectures are well done and the way he teaches make it easy to learn. Anatomy is not the easiest but he does a great job making his lectures personable and his personality makes it so easy to learn from him!
Prof. Midgley is easily one of my favorite professors at QU. I had him for A&P1 lab and 2 lab and he makes what needs to be known extremely easy to figure out. He gives great guidelines and I never got below an A- on any of his exams because he had us so prepared. Please take him if you're nervous for A&P lab!!
Professor Midgley is probably one of the best professors I've ever had. Anatomy is probably the hardest class I will ever take, but he goes through everything very thoroughly. He gives a numerous amount of resources for studying, USE THEM. He makes his expectations about exams very clear. He really just wants us all to succeed, TAKE HIM!!
Prof Midgley is incredible for BIO211L. There is so much to be covered during lab but he makes sure to post so many resources for use outside of class. He gives very detailed study breakdowns which tell you exactly what you need for the practicals. He genuinely wants everyone to succeed and loves anatomy.
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.
