Mr. Bridges was an excellent instructor. He adds a lot of medical interest information into his lectures. He tries to make it clear what he wants from you on a test, but you had better be prepared on test day. He also seems to be able to answer a lot of questions from left field, which I always enjoy.

Bridges is hearing impaired. When you have a question he will need you to speak up. This causes some to be uncomfortable. He is fair, helpful and his tests are accurate. However, he does come off a little arrogant. When you get to know him you'll realize he just has a dry sense of humor. The class is hard but its mainly because of the material.

Dr. Bridges is ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL! He is great at helping you really understand the material, and his study guides go right along with his tests. He also provides so many videos and study checks (which you can take an unlimited amount of times). I highly recommend him, he is THE BEST A&P professor I have ever had!

I feel like he gets a bad rap, but I thought he taught really well. I had him for lecture and lab and I learned a lot. First day of class he can seem intimidating because he does quizzes at the beginning of each class, but he drops a lot of grades, so you can still get a good grade.

Bridges was a fantastic A&P teacher. I had him for both Lecture and Lab, and in both I was always greeted by a man ready to teach. He was thorough and always dug deeper into the more difficult subjects to better our understanding. While I felt as though he was a better lab teacher, his lectures were great opportunities as well.

He would be an amazing teacher if he did not do a lot of homework. He claims the work he assigns will help, but in reality, it sets you back so much. If I could, I would've taken lecture online and lab in person.

He's a good professor, but a lot of the time, people underestimate the course and overestimate themselves. Anatomy is hard, so just read the textbook, work the study guides, and take advantage of all the points you can get. Try your best, and don't blame your failures on professors.

This professor legit reads off slides then expects you to understand all the material within a week. A&P is obviously a hard class, but he spends more time talking about his military background than actually teaching.This professor genuinely does not care if you pass or not. He shames you if you are not studying over 20 hours each week. RUN.

I may not have done well in the class, but I don't think that should entirely him. It was overwhelming considering the number of tests, but If you study properly you will do well. He gives a lot of homework but they are pretty helpful to the material on the tests. His teaching style was mostly lectures + doesn't give slides online.

I would not recommend taking this professor. All he did was read off slides in lecture, very fast, and get mad at you for taking pictures of the slides. I never had an opportunity to get the information off the slides. He had unclear grading criteria and I never felt prepared for any tests. He also made very inappropriate and uncalled for comments.

Very egotistical professor. Goes through slides fast & doesn't post them. Says things incorrect and when asked pretends he "never said that". Does not care about the actual education received by the students. Incredibly disrespectful to those trying to learn and having trouble in the course. Wanted to give him a shot but bad reviews were right.

Enjoyed the class! Anatomy is intimidating and Professor Bridges is too. A few weeks in and it isn't as scary as it seems. The quizzes are similar to the tests and all of the homework is helpful, not just busy work. The class is a lot of pressure and extremely fast paced but it is manageable.

Going to your lecture is honestly a waste of your time. He doesn't teach he reads off his power point that contains probably 10% of the information he will be testing you on. It's very fast paced you'll have 2 lectures before a chapter test and your review will be 6 pages long most of the information he didn't cover during the class.
