Dr. Abell is an awesome teacher...he knows his stuff and he is willing to help you out. I took this as a summer class so it was pretty difficult, but in the end is well worth it. I recommend this class to anyone who has to take anatomy!

Dr. Abell is a great teacher! He teaches in a way that students can understand.

What a great teacher! He loves to teach and it shows. He made learning a difficult subject fun with his sense of humor. He actually made blood vessels interesting to learn! Take his class!!

I really enjoyed this class. The professor cared about my learning. His lectures were very interesting and he shared real-life experiences which made the subject matter "come alive". His powerpoints and use of WebCT were the best I have experienced so far. I would highly recommend him for but you must be willing to work hard and stay focused.

Dr Abell is the best teacher I ever had, he knows how to deliver the hardest information to the student in an easy way his power points were very helpful, and he worked very hared with us.I enjoyed his class very much. Also I would recommend him for any student who is looking for a great teacher.

Dr Abell Is a very professional teacher and has a good teaching style. His enthusiasum and many stories helpes present the subject in a way that relates to things that we find in real life. I was impressed that he writes all his test question right after each lecture you are never tested on something that was not coverd in class. A great teacher!

Dr. Abell was highly recommended to me and I was not disappointed.His lectures were well organized and presented well.The subject matter was difficult at times but he was able to present it in a way that made it much easier to understand.He was also very helpful and seemed to genuinely care about his students. Thanks Dr. Abell!!

Professor Abell taught an excellent Anatomy & Physiology class. He spends a great deal of time preparing class materials that will help students (such as power point presentations, helpful websites and quizzes on WebCT) and exams and practicals are true to his study guides. Lectures are clear and have extra examples.

Amazing professor! Excellent at explaining the topics in a clear and concise manner. He also adds relevant real-life medical conditions related to the anatomy/physiology topic of discussion.

This class is a must take. Dr. Abell is excellent. He teaches in a way that helps you to clearly understand the complex material. He is fair and if you apply yourself and study you can do very well.

Without a doubt the best professor I have ever had. He actually cares about his students learning and taking something away from the classes that he teaches. Really cares about his students and is willing to help if you need it. Not an easy class by any means but if you study an A is possible.

Great Professor. Clear and concise. Not boring at all. Very understanding.

He's the man!

Very helpful and very entertaining.

He is fair, and fun

BIO 211 & 212 EXCELLENT TEACHER! TAKES DIFFICULT MATERIAL AND MAKES IT EASY TO UNDERSTAND. VERY HELPFUL AND FUNNY. THIS CLASS REQUIRES TIME & EFFORT, IF YOU APPLY YOURSELF, YOU WILL DO WELL. IF YOU DON'T, YOU WON'T.

I am IN LOVE WITH THIS GUY. BEST PROFESSOR and these are hard to come by. Make sure u come to class, everything on the exam and lab practical comes directly from his powerpoints (which he posts on WEBCT VISTA. VERY ORGANIZED and condenses the subject so students can understand. TOO BAD HE'S MARRIED I WOULD HAVE PROPOSED TO HIM AND DISSECTED HIM.

The best A&P teacher ever!

Great

Amazing professor. All exams are directly from lecture. He makes his expectations very clear and if you attend classes and listen to his lecture you will pass. Don't expect an easy A, you must work for your grade. He's also quite funny!

What a grounded, HUMAN prof. He keeps it interesting, spices it up w/relevant stories and anecdotes, but won't pass u if you don't work hard. Powerpoint is clear, labs useful, and he's adorable!! If u can get into his class, count yourself fortunate!!

Professor Abell is very fair and easy to follow. He is a very friendly guy with a good sense of humor and I admire him. Best class I have.

Great teacher, really breaks down a tough subject to make you understand. Totally fair, you get the grade for the amount of work you do.

Great class/professor. Stop whining about extra credit, or curving grades, this isn't high school...you get what you give. If you want an A you need to work, if you don't want to work you will fail plain and simple. If you're not willing to work get a degree in general studies slacker

Professor Abel is wonderful! I wish he could be my professor for all of my science classes! Pay attention to the handouts as they are most useful than the book.

What a great man to learn from. Has a wonderful sense of humor!!! I had alot of laughs in this class. Abell will give you all the time and help you need, but your grade will express your work. Don't expect any handouts and there are no suprises. Dr. Abell was the best and all of his MWF 8am spring 2008 Class will miss him dearly!!!

Excellent professor and funny. However he does not budge on his grading policy, you get what you get. The class itself is not difficult and it is verrrrry interesting, however you must of course put in the time and effort to do well.

Mr. Abell is very helpful and does an amazing job at making such a difficult subject understandable and fun to learn. I wish I could have had him for all my other science courses.

first off, he is gorgeous! i took ap1 with him this summer and he kept me awake this whole time with his smile, jokes, beautiful face, laugh-- but let's get to the point- the man is a genius! he takes the most dificult subject and turns it into the simplest thing just like that. if you study HARD and keep up w/ the power points, you can't fail!!

Dr. Abell is the best and VERY fair. He informs you of his expectations and you can pass if you stick to his syllabus and STUDY!!! He is also such a cutey.I would loved to learn anatomy on him and he could have reinforced on me. Too bad we are both married.Kidding aside I HIGHLY recommend him. Our class was a blast and we'll all miss him on M-W-F!

Dr. Abel is a great professor. Of all the science classes I have taken, I have learned the most from him. Bottom line with him though, put in the work and you will do fine, dont, and you will fail. He is very fair and probably the best teacher to teach A&P. If you are lucky enough to get into his class, pass it, cause hes the best prof. there is.

Very nice teacher; very helpful; TAKE NOTES...STUDY YOUR NOTES!!! Dr Abell is willing to give you extra help or anwer any questions you have. Take him if you get the chance!!

Great teacher! Extremely fair! Had him for a summer class, he gives you his powerpoint lectures and tests you only on what you lecture. You do not need the book but it is helpful to have as a reference! Very willing to help those who need it! Great class and would highly recommend taking a class with Dr.Abell!

great teacher you'll love him

I took A&P 1 with Abell. He is a great teacher. Explains things on your level to make everything very understandable. Its anatomy so of course your going to have to study alot but you couldnt ask for a better teacher.

I had Dr Abell for a&p 1 and he was great! He is funny and laid back. Labs were always easy. You just have to study to do well like any science class. I am definitely taking him for a&p 2!

Amazing professor,just read your power points and take notes in class and you are golden. no other anatomy teacher at Gateway is nearly as good as him!!

Amazing prof expect to learn in this course, the grade you get is what you earn. One of the best prof I have ever had!

Best professor i've had so far at gateway. He is the BEST teacher to take A&P 1 and 2 with. As long as you study your power points and labs you'll do good in his class because thats what his tests are based on. He doesn't "give" you your grade you earn them.

He is an extremely thorough Professor and he has no problem answering questions if you need any clarification. If you come to class, pay attention and actually study, you will do fine. You cant expect to do well in A&P if you do not put in the effort outside of class. He gives you everything you need to do well.

He was a wonderful professor. Easy to follow and understand and he has great sense of humor. His knowledge of the body and how is work along with his antidotes based on his experience made the class a pleasure. I wish my schedule allowed me to take bio212.

Professor Abell is an excellent professor. He only required me to attend classes,labs and be prepared for exams. Not a lot to ask after all I paid for the class. He truely cares about his students and provides additional resources to study,in order to learn the material. No surprises he is expresses his expectations on day 1.I am Inspired

Best professor in the world. Not an easy class especially for a summer class, and you need to work hard but Abell makes the information interesting and fun! Extremely knowledgable and is passionate about teaching! Take him!! Wish I could have taken him for the second part!

Professor Abell is awesome! I took A&P1 in the summer, which is very intense & time consuming, but prof Abell was helpful every part of the way. You had to come to class & work for your grade, and it was a lot of inifo. He is very knowledgeable, smart, funny & always was encouraging. One of the best professors I've had.

A true professional professor. He takes his job seriously, treats wht students with respect, prepares meticulously and makes the class interesting and relevant. His enthusiasm for the subject is infectous.

Dr. Abell is a very dedicated professor. He teaches in a manner all can understand the subject matter. He is also very fair, and treats all his students like adults. One of the best teachers available to Gateway students.

I had him for A&P 1&2. He is a GREAT teacher, the best professor at Gateway! You EARN your grade. Study the power points and attend class!(turn off cell!) Form a study group & study hard for the practical's they can be a bit tricky. He is very passionate about his teaching! I truly enjoyed his classes & would take him again!!! HIGHLY recommend!!

You earn your grade with this guy, and he makes it easy for you. just good old fashion studying invovled

Prof. Abell is by far the best professor in the science dept. and the most helpful. He's professional, organized and his lectures actually make sense. Great sense of humor and always willing to help - you just have to ask! Do at least a decent amount of studying and listen to him and you'll do well.

Great professor has a great sense of humor. Shows his passion for science, makes you want to become a teacher like him. Great teacher will take him again. Just listen to what he says and take notes!

I am trying again to get in his class for Bio 212, it's been an amazing experience to be in his class!! He took the edge off the course for us!! I will definitely recommend him, if you are looking for studying in a fun and helpful environment!!

Professor Abell is incredibly knowledgable, his powerpoints/lectures are amazing and easy to understand! He records his lectures and has plenty of online resources to help students study! The course consists of four exams, four practicals, and online quizzes. He made the class enjoyable! I can't recommend him enough! Take A&P with him!

Great professor, he made sure student knew the material well. I took his class over the summer which was not easy but i learn a lot in the short amount of time. He is extremely fair. You get the grade that you work for. STUDY! STUDY! STUDY! I would recommend anyone to take this class.

I was very fortunate to have him twice. His lectures are clear and concise. Labs are impeccably organized. He provides a lot of very helpful study guides. Just be aware, Dr Abell is big on professionalism and decorum in the classroom. He won't hesitate to call you out if you're lacking in either. Overall, a superb teacher for a difficult subject.

This professor loves what he does & makes it easy for people to pass as long as you come to class & do the work. There are 4 lecture tests and 4 practicals. He records the lectures & puts them on blackboard for you to listen to help study, and also puts up practice practicals. Second semester taking him!!!

One of my the best teachers I've ever had! I took Anatomy and Physiology 1 with him and although the class was extremely difficult (we learned 17 chapters in 4 weeks) he made it fun, and always taught us cool ways to remember things. He's very personable and funny, and he will go out of his way to explain something if you don't get it right away.

I specifically took the shortened summer one and there was many chapters to be learned in one week. Written exams are definitely hard and lab exams can be tricky. He just wants you do to know the ins and outs of Anatomy for your future professions and honestly I learned so much from him. If you study and ask him many questions, its doable

Professor Abell is a strict and professional professor that's highly respected by his peers and students. He is an MD so he knows the material very well and cares about the material he teaches. Tough course with a lot to learn but he makes it managable. I would recommend him highly and look forward to taking his Anatomy and Physiology II class.

I love Prof. Abell! Hes a wonderful teacher who will make sure you understand all the materials in lectures and records them for studying purposes! Very nice, and easy to talk too but make sure youre professional and come to class. Doesnt have time for games. Im Taking him for A&P 2 next semester! VERY cool that he was a DR in his previous life

I loved Dr Abell! i had a really hard time with anatomy in the past but i am so glad i took him this year! alot of material to go over, also exams and practicals are every two weeks. just as long as you show up to class and study for the practical and exams you will be fine! does take grading seriously.

I understand everyone likes this professor and he is an awesome teacher (knowledge wise) lets be honest, he helps who he wants to help. This class is very tough! Read read and read! This class reminds me of those classes that no matter how hard you work, its still not hard enough. Just be careful not to pick due to this website.

Coming from someone who had to take AP twice, Professor Abell is the one who truly gets you through it. His content is clear and inspiring. His personal stories are relative to the lectures and helps you put things into perspective. Also, an all-around good & funny person. Take him!!

On day one he basically tells you how to get an A. All of the exams are based on the notes, study the chapter objectives that he gives and you will basically have 90% of the exam questions. Study hard for practicals, his lectures are very detailed but he tries to make interesting and relatable. 1/3 class will get an A but you will work for it.

Professor Norman is the best Professor I have had in my college experience he gives you EVERYTHING you would need to pass the class and the rest is ALL up to you. You have to put in the work but he is more than happy to help you understand things. He has great lectures which he records and posts on blackboard after every class.

This professor lays out how to get an A as soon as you step foot in class. He records his lectures and posts them so you can study and listen to them on your own. I took this class in the summer, so it was a lot of information all at once, but the professor made the material manageable. Take him, you wont regret it

Dr. Abell is a phenomenal instructor and wonderful human being! He comes highly recommended by me!

Great professor. If you ask questions he will answer them as clear as possible. Funny, caring, sometimes he repeats himself a lot, but at the end that helped us remember everything. It's not an easy subject but he makes it seem like it is and gives you plenty of material to study.

I had Abell for anatomy 1 in the summer. This was a hybrid course so you come in for lab and listen to the lectures online and take notes. Obviously since this is anatomy, it's going to be hard and require a lot of studying. But professor Abell definitely made this class bearable. I would definitely take him again for any course he teaches.

Professor Abell is so far the best instructor I have ever had. He has inspired me to become a doctor and made me fall in love with the human body. His lectures are so organized and informative and he gives you plenty of resources and a variety of studying methods. I took his class in the summer and although a hard class, he made it bearable and fun

One of the best professors I've ever had! He is well respected and inspirational. His lectures are superb! His tests are rigorous and you really have to pay attention during lectures, take good notes, and study hard. If you don't really want to learn then skip him (actually do us all a favor and stay out of healthcare). Highly recommend!!

Recorded lectures could be hard to sit through at times (monotonous tone) but info is very helpful. Uses real medical examples to help you remember things. As long as you follow what to do each week, you will succeed. He even extended due dates when we all lost power from a tornado at the beginning of the semester. Responds quickly to emails.

If you are serious about getting into an allied health program anywhere, take him. Sure its a lot of work, a lot of studying, and tests are long. However, Abell is straight forward. He gives you EVERYTHING you need to know for the exams. Study the material and youll get a good grade, its that simple . His class even helped me on the TEAS.

I took AP 1 and AP 2 with Professor Abell. He's awesome! His expectations + assignments are clear, fair, and easy to understand. He base his exams off his lecture videos. Four exams are given (100 multiple choice, and 50 pics to label for practicals). Long labs tbh. Two dissections. Weekly quizzes. Offers extra credit which you should do. TAKE HIM!

I took professor Abell for a&P1 in summer and it was a lot of work and very test heavy. His content is clearly laid out. You need to study for his exams and he makes you think outside the box. Do all the extra credit that is offered and the participation. You won't regret it. He is a very approachable professor! meet with him.

We all know Anatomy and Physiology is a difficult class. But thanks to Professor Abell teaching methods, he made it manageable. Ofc, you really need to work hard for it and do all the homeworks.

I was truly dreading taking Anatomy, ESPECIALLY fully online over the course of only four weeks as a summer class. Professor Abell was extremely clear with his instructions and a textbook was needed for this class (awesome book with great diagrams). There is a decent work load, but all easy enough!

He was a great professor. The topic is just very difficult and you need the memory of a sponge. He is immensely intelligent and is willing to help you through the class, as long as you show you care. This class was tough, especially as a summer class. I recommend taking him though, just be ready to bunker down for a semester.

I took Professor Abells hybrid A&P 1 course and loved his class. Everything in his lectures is what will be on the exams, he is a very calm and helpful professor. The course itself has a lot of information so taking the time to study is a must. He has participation worksheets that will = extra points at the end of the semester if completed!

Dr. Abel is a very nice professor and he really tries to make sure that everyone gets a fair shot in his class. Took him for AP1 and it was great, he's easy to follow and his test are straight forward. He's a stickler for spelling though so sometimes he can be a harsh grader. But he gives you chances to make up for it. Has quizzes @beginning of lab

Use the lecture notes from his recorded lecture to study for the lecture exam & study what's on the practical lists & your lab packet for the Practical exam. He has lots of resources to study in each folder, if you don't pass its on u! He is a great super nice & easy going professor who gives extra credit work that go toward final grades TAKE HIM!

this is a hybrid course, he is very organized and if you email him he won't hesitate to help and even have a webex. Super nice and thoughtful with everyone and what is on his lectures will be on his exams. for practical take pictures!!! label them and study them + use practical lists to know what will be on your practicals. STUDY dont procrastinate
