Dr Brown is such a good guy.He does everything for the students. He is corny in his jokes but at least he tells them! He is very approachable and office hours go well.He is willing to help you in any other class too!For this class just outline the book and take notes in class and you will do fine.the only problem is he is disorganized in the office

He doesnt like to lecture a lot, instead he will assign groupsof 3 or 4 and make you work your way through the lecture by sharing thoughts. He will lecture from time to time on topics he feels he needs to cover. Tests are not bad if you do good on the online quizzes.And he will help you if YOU ASK FOR IT! Great sense of humor! Strongly recommend!

Dr. Brown is a hilarious professor! He helps you with any questions you may have and is very clear in his explanations. It's Anatomy so it's not going to be an easy class, but he does so much for you with study quizzes and study guides, that if you study them and your POGILS, you'll do very well on his tests. His labs are tough, but it's A&P :)

Dr. Brown is a great professor. The class is fun but hard. Attendance is mandatory. Part of your grade is based on it. Lab exams are excruciating but you'll do ok if you study.

Dr. Brown is one of the best professors I've had at ETSU. He always knows how to keep the class interesting. Even though some of the material is hard to comprehend at times, since it is anatomy and physiology, he has a good method of teaching that makes difficult concepts easier to understand.

Dr. Brown is my favorite teacher at ETSU. The case studies he creates help a lot with remembering the material. He always comes to class with a great attitude, telling jokes, etc. He is friendly and will explain anything you are having trouble with.

I enjoyed him as a teacher but his teaching style just was not the best for me. I was able to scrape by an A because he drops your lowest test if you do better on the final than that score as long as you have good lab attendance. Not all lecture classes are required. He is big on POGIL and believes it works but I do not think it really helped.
