Really good prof, teaches everything well. He is very fair.
He really knows his stuff. Awesome teacher!
Wow. This guy knows what he's talking about! Very thorough explanations.
No Comments
Also taught ANP 1703. Makes you work, but he knows what he is talking about. Great teacher!
WOW! Never seen a guy with so much knowledge on what he teaches. He knows EVERYTHING.. If Doc Desilets said it.. it's true! The review nights, go! you get good hints, and you realize how he konws everything off his head! it's amazing! AWESOME PROF
Amazing prof. no matter what grade you get in his class, you will learn SOOOO much. He is definately a very knowledgable man, and is able to convey it so well... adds humour which is a blessing
Great Prof!
A very knowledgeable man. He makes the course very interesting, and his course notes are very thorough!
ordinaire, on fait nos notes nous meme, les notes que vous prenez de ce que le prof dit ne servent a rien
Salut! Quel bon professeur! I did poorly in his class but I learned so much! Thanks Dr. Desilet!
Bravo. Remarquable! Un des meilleurs cours que j'ai pris!
Awesome professor! Knows exactly what he is talking about and very helpful, always very active and reliable in class discussions. With him, it's black and white, no ambiguity. bonus: pretty funny.
Awsome professor...smartest man ever. Great teaching style, tries to at least be humourous...cute guy :-)
tres clair, precis, pas trop long, excellent cours et excellent prof.
It's the second time I have him as a prof, and he's the best. His classes are really fast-paced, and you have little time to spare sharpening your pencil, so I recommend using a pen. He's very knowledgable, explains extremely well and is really interesting.
Exceptional prof, with much knowledge, care and understanding of class concepts and his students. The course material is hard but he keeps you running the whole semester.
Desilets is the anatomy king. He's a great prof, and fair marker. I feel really bad for all those students who got stuck with Prof. C instead!
What a genious. His notes are structured perfectly and everything flows from macrostructure to microstructure. He was available all the time after class, at his office, and especially through email. A very dedicated, knowledgeable, and funny professor. Cavit-ay!
Michel Desilets is the greatest professor ever! I love his notes and his exams. His lectures are awesome too. You will feel like a genius after his classes because he makes anatomy look so easy. I would recomment his prof to the world! He is the kind of prof that makes you love school. I Wish i had him for the all my classes for the next 3 years.:)
By far the BEST teacher I've had at Ottawa U! He know his stuff, and then some! You can ask him any question regarding anatomy, physiology, pathology, imunology, etc... and he knows the answer. (Not a lot of profs have knowlledge beyond their reaseach interest or what's in you course textbook) AMAZING TEACHER!!! :D
Awesome, I loved him as a prof! Very clear and very knowledgeable! I would say, so far, he has been my favourite prof!! Can't wait until next semester, yet another class with him! You just gotta love his sens of humour!
Super bon prof. Le meilleur jusqu'à maintenant. Très clair, ses objectifs sont clairs également les examens sont justes
Awesome professor, the best i've had so far at ottawa U. So helpful, fair exams. Good prof.
There's a lot of meterial to learn in his classes, but he's always clear about what you need to know and what not.
Super excellent prof; il me motive pour etudier! Ce cours n'etait pas obligatoire pour moi et je suggere a d'autres etudiants qui ne sont pas en Nursing de le prendre!
Love this guy! He shows an interest and excitement in what he's talking about, and KNOW's what he's talking about. His enthusiasm is infectious, and his jokes (although sometimes cheesy) are always a laugh. Made this course my favourite one to attend, if just to hear what he'll say next.
Excellent prof. If you are interested in learning from a genius take his class. He makes it interesting and he motivates you to learn. He is so facinated by this stuff. His exams are hard, more like application questions but if you understand and listen in class you'll do great. Hes so cute and sooo funny!
This guy is great. he knows what he's talking about, he's interesting, he's funny, and he's not to hard on the homework. Overall a very good professor
I love this class! This guy is hilarious. The material is neverending, and sometimes tedious, but not impossible
Incredible prof. Communicates material very effectively, makes class fun. SOOOO much to learn, but he drives his students to becaome interested. His microphone is sometimes on too loud, but if that's the only complaint I have, maybe i have really sensitive ears. Crazy awsome prof. Keeps it fun, and knows his stuff.
Wonderful Prof. he taught everything really well with lots of fun stories that kept you interested in the subject. Although Anatomy can be quite difficult he was very approachable if you had any problem understanding the material and was always more than willing to sit down with you to explain it....and he was absolutely hilarious...
greaaaaaaat prof, no doubt about it. like others have mentioned, there's a lot of material, and a lot to cover in the class, but he explains it really well. if you're ever in his class, be sure not to miss any lectures.
Great Prof! He is very enthusiastic, and conveys the subject matter very clearly!
Desilets is a very knowledgable and precise prof who challenges his students on midterms and exams. I thoroughly enjoyed his accent, and even his corny jokes and reference to everything being "cute", but above all his committment to assisting students in their learning was phenomenal. great prof, great tutor.
wonderful prof...very helpful, very honest and truly wants his students to succeed...he is very enthusiastic about teaching and is very smart...you will never fall asleep in his class because of his hilarious comments that actually help you remember the material...highly recommened that you take his class....
Very good prof. I you speak french TAKE HIS CLASSES IN FRENCH...
Best Teacher ever!!!!! actually felt like he cared about me!
He was sucha nice teacher and always ready to help.
can not understand, make things more confusing than they should be
Very hard to understand. Goes through slides very quick without much depth.
Fantastic prof, very knowledgeable and his lectures flow nicely. The only way you cannot like this prof is if you dont like the material. Highly recommended for NSG and HSS students!
i like to count how often he says "consequently", "the story" and "that's cute". GREAT PROF!
Great prof. Will alwals find the answers to your questions. He is passionnate about his subject and makes you to love it as much as you Slow when it comes to corrections.
Best prof any student who loves anatomy/physiology could ever have. He knows everything there is to know about human anatomy.
Great professor all around.
AMAZING Prof - he is so funny and very approachable. He is always entertaining and is very good at explaining difficult concepts. If you're taking anatomy, get into his class. He keeps class interesting with little stories that are always relevant and hilarious. Great Guy!
i love him so much ive never missed any of his classes
Absolutely adored him! One of the best profs :)
Loved this class
BEST PROF EVER. take him take him take him if you have the chance!! stay away from carnegie!
Well if you read this you'll regret it... OK so when he teaches he holds the power point pointer as if it where a lightsaber.. so now everytime I go to his class I can't help but laugh because I keep thinking «Use the force»... Yeah a friend ruined that for me.. Besides that he's good..freaking slow thought.. he WILL linger on one slide for forever
Best teacher! He's really clear when he explains. Only study the power points. Extra details in the book are useless. Start studying right away since there's so much so learn. Most interesting class ever to attend!!
Good teaching style, stimulate student learning. Caring and takes time to answer questions
Great prof, tough exams. Be sure to study in advance because there really is way too much to learn a few days prior to the exams. Oh and if he says "dernière chose" or anything of that sort, that only means its the last thing that's currently on his mind. It absolutely does not mean last thing to know on the slide, or last thing for the class.
very passionnate teacher. Makes things fun to learn.
Amazing prof! He is easy to understand and simplifies complicated material. I've had him for four classes and I hope I'll get him again! He's pretty funny at times!
very helpful teacher. always wants to help. very nice, explains VERY well. study ALOT! focus a bit on minor details. Exams are very hard/confusing(changes one word in a sentence, makes the whole sentence wrong)
Excellent teacher! One of the best I've ever had. But make sure to study for the exams, specially the final one.
LOVED this prof! He has a really good way of explaining things with funny stories and often does funny side notes. He LOVES what he does and you can really tell he actually wants to be up there teaching which makes the class much more fun. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this prof!
GOOD TEACER IN THE WORLD
Mad love for this prof! He definitely knows his stuff and makes it really interesting.
THE BOMB,although alot of people fail this class and all you have to do is memorize everything.. even the little fine print in the bottom left corner and he will ask questions about those, his classes are just explanations each slide but hes kinda funny sometimes, the book helped me alot but when you study, study the slides only! Goodluck
This guy is a genius. Crystal clear notes, exams are what you expect. He knows everything anatomy-related. One of the best teachers I've ever had in my entire life.
The God of Anatomy. This man is a walking encyclopedia and some.
This prof really likes what he's doing and try to share it with his students. He makes us like to study, he plants in everybody the desire to know more and more. He's simply awsome.
Amazing prof! Genius, he never reads any notes but simply spends the lecture talking about and explaining the concepts. Exams are fair, but be ready to put your fair share of study hours if you want to excel.
Awesome prof! Knows everything there is to know about anatomy and physiology and you can tell it's his passion. Had him for 1505 too, classes aren't easy, but you should concentrate on studying the slides! Exams are all multiple choice but they are very specific! I recommend this class if you like A&P!
Mon héroe. Meilleur prof que j'aie eut à l'université. C'est une vraie encyclopédie.
C'est le prof qui m'a le plus inspiré de toute ma vie! J'ai fait tous les cours d'anatomie; il est intéressant, passionné et ses examens sont faciles et représentatif de la matière vu en classe. Un très bon pédagogue. Les examens pratiques sont TRÈS utiles! Le meilleur professeur!
I watched. ?? Not fun at all.
Awesome prof! Very passionate, clear and helpful! He really knows his stuff. Funny jokes, animated and overall very fair. Recommend!
Without a doubt the most amazing and knowledgable prof I had and will probably ever have.There is not one question that you ask him that he does not have an answser too.He loves what he does and sharing what he knows with his students.Go to class, it's really useful. Most of all, study. His exams are really specific so you have to know your stuff.
The best teacher I have ever had. He knows a lot and enjoys answering questions. His explanations are clear. I had 4 classes with him, all the same satisfaction. One of the top at the University of Ottawa.
Adoré ce prof! Il est très dynamique, passionnant et connaissant. Meilleur prof que j'ai eu. Les examens à choix multiples sont parfois truqués mais il explique tellement bien la matière en détails qu'avec de la bonne étude, c'est très facile de bien réussir.
Il est le meilleur prof! On voit qu'il est passionné par ce qu'il fait. Cours pas facile mais vraiment fun.
Cet enseigant transmet avec passion la matière. Je le recommande !
Great teacher the best ever!
Amazing Prof!! He IS a little tuff but he's so interesting and absolutely LOVES what he does! Best prof ive had so far!
Prof super! Le cours est super intéressant :) Recommandé
Amazing prof, really knows what he's doing - but this class is overall very hard. & The amount of information to memorize for the final exam is unreal. Do not recommend unless you really need it.
Meilleur prof que j'ai eu depuis que j'ai commencé l'université! Il rends les cours très intéressants, il est très sympathique et drôle aussi! C'est examens sont assez difficiles mais très juste si vous métiez un effort dans l'étude.
He's a gem.
Michel est mon prof préféré et le meilleur que j'ai eu à l'université jusqu'à maintenant.. Le cours demande beaucoup de temps d'étude mais ses questions sont claires précises et reflètent le contenu du cours.
Best teacher I've ever had. He knows his stuff so well and makes class interesting even though the material can sometimes be boring. Study the powerpoints and you should be golden. Use the book for the images but he gives all the info you need in class.
If you put the effort in learning what he teaches, you'll do very well. Either you know your material or you don't. so study! He is so amazing that you will want to learn and know as much as he does. His passion is contagious and wonderfully inspiring!
connait très bien sa matière, explique en detail. Tout l'info nécessaire à connaitre se retrouve sur ses diapos et le livre aide beaucoup pour plus d'information mais n'est pas nécessaire a la réussite du cours. Disponible pour aider les étudiant. Overall, TRÈS bon prof.
I had him for ANP1505 and ANP1506 and Desilet is the best anatomy prof you can have. He knows everything about the human body. I loved going to his classes, he had my attention the whole time. He explains very clearly and tells you what is going to be on the exams. 2 midterms and one final with multiple choices. You have to study a lot to do good!!
DÉSILET un vrai pédagogue dans tout les sens. Ces cours sont intéressants et stimulants! Il transmet avec clarté et passion la matière. Son cours demande beaucoup de temps d'étude et de mémorisation. Pour le A, vous allez vous fendre le cul en 2! BONNE CHANCE À TOUS ;)
Best anatomy prof I've ever had. Really makes you care about the class material
Best professor at U of Ottawa. He is funny, somehow makes an anatomy class interesting. The exams are hard if you don't study, but if you study and pay attention to the wording of his multiple choice, you can easily get a good grade. You should really go because he gives hints of questions that could be on exam.
Mister Desilets is an incredible teacher. He truly makes anatomy fun. During lectures, he will tell you what parts will be on the midterms or final exam. You absolutely need to study for his exams. This is an anatomy class after all, and studying prior to the exams is a must !
Amazing prof, best I've had so far. He really knows his stuff and is so passionate about it, he made me love anatomy. I looked forward to the class each week. Very good speaker, keeps it interesting. The tests and exams are hard but fair. I would definitely recommend his class!
Great professor! He clearly loves the material he teaches and sometimes makes things funny. Extremely clear in his teaching and on what will be on the exams. All multiple question exams, mostly all memorization and a bit of understanding.
Un très bon prof qui est passionné par la matière!
Very good teacher
Ok so I'm not a by heart person so this class was a challenge for me. But it is CLEAR what is expected of you. Everything is multiple choice question, which is tricky at times but better than having to memorize every word. You get what you studied for. MUST study ahead if you want a good grade. This class is needy lol
Le prof est clair dans ses explications et rend le cours intéressant, il a bon sens d'humour. Les examens (choix multiples) ne sont pas difficiles mais plutôt très précis. Étudie chaque mots dans ses PowerPoint et tu peux avoir une note excellente. Aussi, il répond aux questions posés sur blackboard rapidement. Je le recommande.
Class material is heavy, but not impossible to learn even if it seems overwhelming at first. You have to study to get good grades. Attending class is very helpful. He gives good tips to study and explains things thoroughly. He is funny and makes class very interesting. However, he likes to talk and rushes at the end to present all the material.
One of my fave profs. His explanations clear, & tries his best to make ANP fun. His expectations are 100% clear, as he tells you every slide he wants you to learn & gives useful practice tests. Don't get me wrong, it's a tough class. If you put the time and effort to learn everything by heart, you'll get an A+. Recommended!(if you have to take ANP)
Amazing prof. Made anatomy even more enjoyable than it already is. PP's are very organized and detailed but take notes on the answers to the added questions. Hilarious and enthusiastic as well as extremely knowledgeable. Fair grader and exams reflect the material 100% so basically memorize the PP's and you'll do great.
Best anatomy prof out there! Gives you all the notes/info necessary to get a good grade in his class. Topic is really interesting! ALL MC questions on exams which makes the class that much better.
AMAZING prof. The class itself is really hard, but if you put in the work, you can easily get a good grade. He makes anatomy fun and easy to understand. He is very clear on what to study for exams -even gives hints as to questions on the exam. Really loved him for ANP1505 & ANP1506
I think he's a good prof. It's kinda hard to say, cause I stopped going to his lectures and studied all the PowerPoints at home instead (since all he does in class is stand there and read off the slides). You need to know the material 100% to get a 70-75 on the exams. A few questions on his exams are pretty confusing and poorly written, so reread.
The lectures were very well organized, the material was presented clearly and the main concepts were emphasized. The exams covered the material we have discussed in class so there were no surprises on the tests. However, the group assignment was a nightmare.
long lecture. Only have to study power point for exam. multiple choice exam
This is an overall good prof. His class is hard but I think if would have been even harder without this teacher. He is really nice and his power points are well organized. The class itself is pretty hard though.
Very good lectures and notes, but I found his exams very hard because of the way they were worded, even if they were all multiple choice. Very nice guy as well. Make sure you go to class and know small details and you'll do well.
Gives a lot of information to make sure you understand the concepts but runs out of time at the end of the semester. Last couple of concept you basically need to learn on your own. Wonderful teacher and really knows his stuff.
Very passionate about anatomy which makes it a little easier to sit through his lectures. Lots to learn, all memorization. Not easy but study hard and you can do well. Very complete powerpoints but I recommend you go to class because he often hints at exam questions during his lectures.
He is a pretty good teacher. He makes lectures interesting and is easy going teacher. I had him for my first semester so it was a good way to start off my university life! :)
My favourite prof by far! His lectures are very interesting, and it's obvious he's passionate about the matter and his students. Be ready to study because there is ALOT of content. However, I wanted to study because what he teaches is so interesting.
He makes going to class bearable, he's so passionate about what he teaches which makes his classes interesting! His exams are kind of tough because he asks for specific details but if you study you should be okay. Love Desilets and would definitely take him again
He knows his stuff and goes into great detail for your to understand, but at the end of the semesters he runs out of times and just flies by the lectures and expects you to know it all for the final exam.
Very good at explaining, very passionate about the subject and knowledgeable but his exams are so specific and detailed and there is so much to know that they are harder.
Knows the material very well so he has a great ability to explain it during lectures. Attending class will really help you in this case even if all the information is in the notes because the material is complex and his questions are very specific on exams.
il est tres engager dans la matiere, il explique comme un dieu et est tres energique ce qui permet de rester eveille ;) c'est examen sont tres facile pour peu que l'on ait etudier.
Super bon prof - beaucoup de contenu, mais si tu fait l'effort d'apprendre la matière, tu auras une bonne note garantie. Il connait extrêmement bien sa matière et sait comment la transmettre à ses étudiants
Ive never skipped once and never wanted to
Awesome teacher but his exams are tough. GO TO CLASS !! He gives examples of exam questions and they are usually in the actual exam. Down side is that you have to do Virtual Labs that take way too much time and are worth like 2%. He's always super nice and happy to answer any questions you may have. I strongly recommend this teacher.
He is by far my favourite prof as he is very passionate about his work. Is often available to meet after class. Exams are hard and very detailed but the teacher makes the class as fun as he can. Love his sense of humour.
Good prof. he went through the last units for the final so quick, you kind of have no choice to depend on the textbook... You have to study reaaally hard to get a decent grade for this class
Aime bien discuter mais n'explique pas tout par manque de temps, attend toi à lire ton Marieb
One of the good teachers, clearly loves to teach. He's trying really hard to make sure everyone has a great time in class. He's criteria are clear, you know what to expect in the exams. Frequently, he'll tell you the exact questions in the exams. The textbook is mandatory, however, I would recommend you to buy it 'cause he often refers to the book.
Des trois profs que j'ai eu pour ANP1505, M. Désilets est le meilleur de loin! Ses slides sont complètes, sauf pour des encadrés avec des questions auxquelles il répond en cours (elles sont à l'exam donc ne manque pas!) Les exams sont des QCM très (TRÈS) précis donc étudie bien la matière (bcp de par coeur) Manuel utile si tes notes sont incomplète
He's a really good prof, BUT, this course is honestly something you can teach yourself. If you're not a morning person and you have morning classes, I strongly recommend you stay home and study and you'll do just as good as those who actually showed up...
Dr. Désilets is really a great teacher, he is passionate about what he teaches and he's really funny! You have to learn LOTS of informations so prepare your brain. Also, the course has too much content for the time we have. The prof explained the respiratory system in 30 minutes and expected us to know everything. Let's say that it's impossible.
Il y a beaucoup de matière, alors il faut étudier fort et souvent. Le prof est très gentil et passionné de son sujet. Il est très connaissant aussi. Sa vaut la peine de se présenter en classe, il ajoute beaucoup d'informations importantes. Hard class but very interesting! Worth attending every class, the prof is great.
C'est le cours le plus difficile que j'ai pris de ma vie. C'est ce cours qui m'a fait changer de programme. Je suis maintenant en psychologie et j'ai du suivre un cours similaire (j'ai eu A- au lieu d'un échec). Le prof semble passioné mais prend trop pour acquis qu'on comprend tout. Il faut ABSOLUMENT lire le manuel et venir au cours pour passer.
THE BEST PROF EVER!!! I seriously adore this professor. He explains so well and he's so passionate that u understand easily a really difficult subject. Make sure to take a lot of notes when he speaks because he tells a lot of answers. His exam questions are really specific so u have to know the class by heart. But the exams reflect the class.
Anatomy is hard regardless! Dr Désilet really wants his students to succeed and he explains concepts in many different ways. You do however need to make good reviews and use te book to understands. Exams are quite hard, so know your stuff!
Great prof! He answers emails very quickly, and is clear on what he wants you to know for the exams. He is very passionate with what he's teaching and even incorporated virtual anatomy labs into the course, which was beneficial to our grades.
Bon professeur. C'est lui le responsable du cours et il est très "fair". Nous avons dû finir la matière rapidement et il a donc mis des examens pratiques sur BrightSpace afin de s'assurer que nous comprenions bien. Il enseigne bien et est très passionné surtout du système cardiovasculaire. Il sera probablement votre professeur pour ANP 1506 aussi!
He is a gem of a teacher. Gives out clear powerpoints with everything you need to know for the class. If you're bad at learning by heart I still recommend this teacher because there are no suprises in the exams. He's adorable and makes a lot of funny jokes in class. Beware of one thing and that is that he tends to talk alot about random stuff.
He's very passionate about his subject, which makes it even more interesting. It's important to go to class even if it isn't mandatory because he adds a lot of important stuff to his notes that usually come back on the exam, as well as his red box questions (questions he puts on the powerpoint but only gives out the answers in class). Great prof.
Jamais de ma vie je vais rencontrer quelqu'un si passionné au sujet du système cardiovasculaire! C'est fascinant l'écouter parler, ces lectures sont vraiment intéressantes. Ceci étant dit, ces examens sont très difficiles. Les examens pratiques aident beaucoup. J'aimerais prendre un autre cours avec lui si je le pouvais!
Great prof, tough class. In other words, if you don't need to take the class.... don't take it.
An all around great professor. He explains things clearly and is incredibly passionate about the subject. Would take again!
Excellent professor. He loves his anatomy! A lot of memorization but absolutely LOVED the class with him! Never skipped it. He is passionate and never monotone! He adds life to this class! Amazing.
He's so entertaining. I want to put him in a glass container and put him on my desk.
You need to be really prepared for the exams.
For online courses, He doesn't seem to ask questions that have to do with the material in his class or in the textbook. All quizzes are open book and even then the questions themselves arent in the material. in multiple choices, the options given are no where to be found or not very clear.
Excellent proffesseur que je n,ai jamais eu! Tres competent, maitrise sa matiere, explique tres bien son course a ��. Est toujours disponible pour repondre aux questions en dehors du cours pour des etudiants qui ont la difficulte. Ce professor est Mon role model.
I love him! Like I never attend class cause all his notes are on his powerpoint but he does have questions on some slides that he only answers in class and could be on the exam so I suggest to go to class. He is really good tho. Was in another anatomy class and switched to his cause I had him last semester and knew he was good so I highly reccomend
Excellent prof, très divertissant et passioné de la matière. Par contre, les examens sont très difficile. Il est important d'étudier chacuns des petits détails mentionnés, car il est fort probable que ce sera retrouvé aux examens.
Desilets is an amazing prof. He really takes the time to explain each concept and his exam questions are fair. He eliminates questions that weren't well done on the exams which is great. Plus, there were 2 bonus questions on the final exam, the possibility of getting an extra 2 percent with the labs and a 1 % bonus for going to the Miroir Magique.
The course itself isnt that hard but has a lot of info to know for MT and final. Only one MT and final both MC. Good idea to go to class since the explanations really help to understand which helps you memorize later. Ive had him as a prof for 3 classes now and he's definitely one of my fav uOttawa profs, no surprises on exams.
Such an amazing prof!!! You can tell he's really passionate. His explanations are always super clear, he takes his time to explain each concept. He is for sure the best anatomy prof you could have. Would 100% recommend. But, ANP1505 is a really hard class and the midterms are really hard. Make sure you study every little detail.
He really knows what he's talking about and he's a great teacher. You don't need the book but it's really useful for clarification. PowerPoints have lots of information but still go to class for explanations and the red box questions (exam material, only provided in class)
Professor Desilets is amazing and caring! His tests are somewhat hard but extremely fair. You have to put the work if you want a good grade! If you go to class, he gives hints as to what will be on the exam.. He posts all the material online and you don't have to attend classes to do well! Just memorize..... EVERYTHING and you're set!
This is my second time with this prof. If you are disciplined I highly recommend taking this class online. It forces you to read all the material. His exams are always multiple choice, but they are hard because each question requires knowledge of multiple details. Do resumes and re-read the information almost daily. It is a WORK HARD type of class.
I LOVE HIM I LOVE HIM I LOVE HIM
This prof is interesting and teaches very well, the content of the class is just really hard. He screenshares his powerpoints during Zoom lectures and makes fun examples to help understand. Average for the midterm for my class was 64% though... Make sure to study hard.
THE BEST. Really cares about his students and the subject matter. Explanations are amazing but the material is heavy and hard. His voice is a little monotone but he's still very good. You really need to keep up with the course and review if you want to get a good grade. Tests are a little on the harder side. Overall the an amazing prof.
BEST TEACHER EVER I LOVE HIM!!!
LOOOOOOOVED DR DÉSILETS. His explanations are crystal clear and allow for an excellent comprehension of the material. The average for the midterms were about 65% and 70%, but I studied his powerpoints and got an 100% on each exam. His exams are very honest and representative of the material on the powerpoints; there are absolutely NO SURPRISES. A+
Dr. Desilets really knows what he's talking about. His powerpoints are quite long and he rambles but he is super funny. Zoom calls aren't necessary because all the info is on the slides. He pretty much just reads what's on them. If you study well you'll do good. His exams have tricky questions so you need to understand the material.
Dr. Désilets is an amazing prof! ANP1506 could easily be boring because it's mainly memorization but his lectures bring the material alive in a beautiful and engaging manner! It's clear that he loves what he teaches and he wants all of his students to pass!
Prof Desilets is an amazing prof; he is so enthusiastic about anatomy and it makes it much more engaging during lectures. The exams are fairly easy if you study a lot; there are absolutely no trick questions. His teaching style made me love the subject even more and I hope I can have him as a prof in the future.
I had Dr Desilet twice this year. Give him lots of credit for how engaging his class was. This man loves anatomy. However, during covid, there was always extra lectures (added 3 hours at least every week). Tests were incredibly hard, was very specific to the point where guessing was your best option. Loved anatomy before now I get PTSD.
Awesome prof and passionate about anatomy, take him if you can. Very knowledgeable and links what we learn to medical cases which is interesting. His exams reflect what we learn on his slides, but its a bonus if you have the Marieb textbook. Memorization and visualisation are key to understanding because his questions are extremely specific.
The exams were all multiple choice, open book, unproctored and covered only the stuff on his slides/lecture notes, which were always posted. Most people stopped showing up to the lectures and would just study the slides. If you study the slides then the exams are free.
This prof is so passionate about anatomy, which makes the course so interesting. Stay up to date and study frequently to get a good grade. The exams are based on the slides he put online, so a lot of memorization. Other than that, great course!
Very organized professor who knows what he expects from his students. All of the answers to his tests can be found in the slides, and are explained clearly in class. He likes to test students based on little details in the slides, so make sure you know your stuff heading in to his exams. The exams are non-cumulative, which makes studying easier.
There is a lot to memorize for his exams which are all multiple choice and open book. All of the answers can be found in his lecture notes but he tends to ask about the little details so be sure to know your material. Most of the questions are like "Which of the following is true/false?" so you can't not study and expect to get a good grade.
He teaches hard classes but he is a great professor, even though he is a tough grader. Attending the classes is definitely important to keep up but he makes the lectures go by fast. Definitely recommend this prof!
he is cool but the course is though, by i do leraned so many things with him
Great teacher and is super passionate about what he teaches. He covers a large amount of material in his course (which all needs to be memorized) but if you attend lectures and study often, you should do fine.
Very passionate about the subjects he teacher. Real nice guy.
Ok so heres the thing. The content of this course is heavy and hard af but, I feel like he also made the class bad. I felt that he was quite boring and I was practically asleep every class. He is lenient when it comes to grading I guess, he did adjust the midterm values because he sympathized with the ones who did poorly. Be ready to memorize omfg.
Amazing teacher! He's really passionate about everything he teaches. Class itself is hard but really interesting. If you work hard and memorize the ppt you'll get a good grade.
Lectures are boring but he knows what he's talking about. Midterms and exam are so hard, be ready to memorize a lot for the class. There are only 2 midterms and 1 exam so there's nothing to help boost your grade. Study a lot, you need to know every little detail.
Loved this prof so much! We switched to a different prof for the final sections and I genuinely would've preferred this prof teaching it to us. He was very understanding about the midterm results and decided to count the best grade as 32% of your grade and your worst for 20%. Seriously don't know how I would've made it through it without him
Class is very content-heavy. He is passionate about what he teaches but he goes on a lot of tangents and most of them happen to be content for the exams, even if you think they are just fun facts. You NEED to study because you will not pass exams by just listening in class. Practice questions are sometimes on exams.
Dr. Desilets is crazy passionate about physiology, and it comes across in his animated and engaging teaching style. We fell behind in his section of the course, but he wasn't willing to compromise his lecture style to make up time. He's a bit old-school, but he sets you up well to succeed if you put the work in.
Great professor, he is very passionate about what he teaches and does a great job at explaining it. However, the material is very heavy and his exams are quite difficult, so get ready to study hard.
I love this professor due to his fun teaching style, yet he has the tendency of going on long tangents before realizing he's out of time, thus flying over the last 30 slides out of 42. My class was incredibly late in the material for both midterms and the final (he had to remove entire chapters). If you study the PowerPoints, you'll be fine.
Very passionate, an expert in his field and an overall nice professor. However, he goes on a lot of tangents without noticing time flying by. Took his class 2 times and we were behind for both. Had to watch many videos outside of class to catch up on the material. Even though all the exams are multiple choice, they are extremely hard.
This professor is passionate about the material, though the course involves a lot of content to memorize. Attend lectures, study the slides, and use tools like Unstuckstudy to prepare - you'll do well.
Took multiple classes from this teacher (ANP 1505, PHS 3700). He is very passionate about medicine and what he teaches. He always has a smile and good attitude. Be careful though, his exams are very specific and hard. You will need to study his powerpoint and know them by heart. His exams test your reading skills more than your comprehension.
Though I certainly enjoyed the class, I did find that Dr. Desilets was quite unorganized, which led to us being behind on many things. However, we were not penalized for this, leading to all three of the exams (2 midterms, 1 final) containing less information than was planned. Learn from the mistake of many and do NOT buy the textbook.
Classes are content heavy but he is such a nice and funny prof. He enjoys detailing his slides well so we didn't finish all of the chapters. When questions on exams were unsuccessful, he would put them as bonus questions. Really great prof for such a content heavy course.
Hes such a cutie patootie and very respectable. The other anatomy teachers admire him! Hes the OG!
Great lecturer, goes on tangents sometimes but they're fun to listen to, anything not covered in class is not on the test. He is extremely passionate about what he teaches. His quizzes have 2 attempts and are very similar to the type of questions you would find on the test (also gives many formative quizzes). Doesn't mean you don't have to study.
Michel is my idol. That man has been around forever and really mastered how to teach this course. If you like A&P and are passionate about it. These will be the best lectures ever because he goes so deep (sometimes too much). The exams are pretty tough and can trip you up a little bit but he is always there to help and overall a super sweet guy.
The best teacher ever!
Literally the GOAT. He is super knowledgeable about the subject to the point where sometimes he runs out of time because he adds so much detail about one thing. He is a very fair grader and the tests are very similar to the quizzes. Such a nice guy too, omg love him 10/10.
