He won't care you are beginners, he will make you study any little tiny detail in the books. His "lectures" are a slavish read of said book. He will never make you skip one thing, and if he says to skip anything you cannot trust him. You'll study night and day only to pass, *maybe*. 2/3 students dropped out before the end. DO NOT TAKE.

Do not take him!! Professor king's lectures are just a summary of what is in the book on PowerPoint. All he does is read it in class, I ended up having to teach myself most of the material. Tests are multiple choice, fill in the blanks, and an essay question. Yes anatomy is suppose to be challenging but he doesn't really help.

Very knowledgable man, and does try his best to help you if you ASK for it. Does not make the class easy for you though. Hundreds of powerpoints, and the study guides basically tell you to memorize ALL the powerpoints which made it impossible to study for the test. If you want an easy class, this is NOT it.

He assigns loads of homework that have nothing to do with the chapter. So you spend about 5 hours a week doing his homework, on top of studying and teaching yourself the chapter. His tests are fill in the blank and essay questions. I would defiantly not recommend this teacher for A&P.

Professsor King was my best professors this semester. He responded to my emails even in the dead of night. I ran into some family issues and he was understanding and helped me to get back on track. Taking any class in 6 weeks is tough, but he made it as straight forward as he could despite the short timeframe. would definitely take him again!

Prof King is a tough but fair. I've heard good things about him from other classes and could tell he tried, but this class was tough. It shouldn't have been a summer class or at least not 6 wks. Lectures were rushed, tests were rough, hw was heavy. That's all to be expected in a shorter summer class though. Prof King was great, would take him again

Professor King is a great professor, super accessible outside the classroom for one on one talks, and even let's students text him if they have questions. The course is tough and there's a lot of work to do because it's a 6 week course, but Professor King really cares about his students and wants to see them succeed.

Professor King is amazing! He inspired me to work at a laboratory and I get to say I love my job every day! Professor King is straight to the point and shows you what you need to know. The quizzes and tests are exactly from the handouts and outline he provides. All you need for an A is to read and pay attention!

A little about this class. be prepared to study off of 200+ slides. Discussions and essay every week. Tests are in respondus lockdown browser. No extra credit or dropping of any test grade. No study guide for test he just says to go over the chapters and quizzes. There are better online professors to pick from. Trust me.

I had a lot going on this summer and professor king did his best to help me out in every way he could. Sometimes a summer class is just to short to get all the info in your brain.

My favorite professor at PBSC by far. He is hilarious, he cares so much about each of his students, and he has a heart of gold. Regarding level of difficulty, his tests are from the Pearson textbook text bank, so it's not unreasonably difficult or lacking standardization. To pass, you need to understand the concepts on the lectures/power points.

The workload was much heavier than for most of my other classes, expect regular writing assignments + online MC homework. He is very responsive by email and the format is well-organized. Tests are MC, Respondus monitored. If you're pre-health sciences and need to really know this info more than get an easy A then he is great. I would take it again.

Overall a pretty easy class and nice guy. Unsure if he is actually a biology professor though seems more like he is filling in for the college. Definitely a liberal, so if you are apolitical or conservative don't interject. He gave speeches about politics during the course, which is unprofessional.

I actually enjoyed taking Professor King's class. He is very interactive and has interesting discussions during class. However, he gets most of his questions online, for tests/quizzes, and they don't always coordinate with the class or are nonsensical. For example, a question on the quiz will say "look back at q. 4", but q.4 wont relate at all.

Professor King is not organized at all, he did not grade our stuff till the last day of the course so basically the entire time nobody knew their grade. The quizzes and tests had absolutely nothing to do with his lectures. Tests are on lockdown browser and since his lectures do not help you are on your own.

Professor King was amazing! I've recommended him to all of my friends. I took him for both BSC1010 and BSC1011. Basically the course was based off of the PowerPoints provided by Pearson you can get by without the book. We had four unit projects which were not hard and a midterm and final exam.

King was one of the best professors I've had thus far. He is PASSIONATE about science and it comes through during lectures. He loves teaching and you will definitely learn more than bargained for. Some assignments including papers here and there (not hard), quiz on every chapter, tests are hard make sure to study, he allows a paper during test.

Online class. 4-5 assignments per chapter all on mastering. Some of his lectures are form 2018. Lectures really just go over the PowerPoints that are available to you. Has online study group with Maria twice a week (optional) but she makes things a lot clearly. Highly recommend using her. Exams are webcam but gives you an index card to use on test.

Unnecessarily long and hard. Each lesson had 2 assignments and a quiz. He kept all content locked until Wed night or Thurs so I always had to rush through to have things on time. I didn't know the notecard size until last min. Lectures he only read off the Powerpoints and not much interaction w/students. Often rants on non-related topics.

I took this class fully online. There were a lot of assignments but all the work is doable. He doesn't really get back to you but you rarely need to convene with him cause all the assignments are explained well. Most of the work is self-explanatory and you only have a few discussion posts. There is a tutor zoom meeting a couple of times a week.

Dr. King reads VERBATIM from the ppt slides during lecture & doesn't teach you anything. You have to teach yourself the material by reading text book & doing hw. Exams are very hard to prepare for, & he requires you to use Lockdown Browser WITH webcam on. He seems like he's out of his depth or may not be knowledgeable on the content of AP2. 0/10

Do yourself a favor and DO NOT take A&P online with this professor. A&P is hard enough with a good Prof. Some weeks had 10+ assignments due. Almost no elaboration on material & no guide on what to focus on. Just a lecture video reading 200 slide PP verbatim. I taught myself. Note-cards for exams are useless when you don't know what to focus on.

His lectures videos are him reading the PowerPoint slides verbatim and very boring. He rarely elaborates on anything throughout the slides. He says his tests are based off of the concepts to know in the textbook, but it was mostly very specific questions. He just says if you need extra help go to his SA.
