He had the ability to turn anatomy-a dry subject, into very interesting lectures with his excellent charisma and people presence. His jokes, anecdotes and hottness, was enough to keep me awake for the 8am lectures. Tests were fair, if you studied what he told you too. don't buy textbook/atlas/

Dr. Ferber is amazing in lecture, making it easy to recall concepts on exams because he really tries to make sure people understand him. Study (hard) and go to lots of open labs to do well. Labs are not really related to lectures (more in depth material, different approach - high expectations!) so it's tough to study for them both at once.

Great prof, lectures are straight forward, describes concepts in a variety of ways to help you understand. Can sometimes seem intimidating but just don't be dumb and you're chilling

Got great grasp of the material and knew it really well but his questions on tests I find unfair. I can understand wanting to test some spelling, but it needs to be more reasonable than hiding a single "o" in a word and thinking I can notice the difference, especially at the end of an 80 question exam. It was cheap and not dyslexia friendly.

I really enjoyed his lectures even though they were online. Go for office hours! Any questions you might have he will clarify. He's friendly even though he may seem daunting at times. He doesn't like his time wasted, thats something to be aware of that he's really strict on his time but other than that definitely would take his class.

Very good teacher - clear and concise. Questions were mostly fair. Would absolutely take another class with him. Didn't ever use the expensive textbook he recommended though.

Reed Ferber is awesome at teaching anatomy - even online (Fall 2020). He is helpful during office hours and through email and doesn't make you feel dumb but wants everyone to succeed. Would recommend to learn from him any chance you get!

Ferber is a great prof and is really passionate about what he does. His assignments and exams for the wearable tech class were very fair. Although, I did find his lectures a bit all of the place and the lecture material could be a bit more cohesive and organized, otherwise a great prof and option class to take.

Professor Ferber makes anatomy engaging, even online. Textbook is a must, but the lectures are clear and passion-driven. While the exams can be challenging, using tools like unstuck ai helps prep effectively. Overall, a rewarding class to take.
