Now, yes he is a great teacher, makes you laugh, and is easy. But, he just has you memorize certain things for his test. If you are going into nursing or other health feilds...do not take it. It will not help you.

Wow, someone actually said something bad about Dr. Brightman. Those who feel they don't learn from him don't realize that they did learn things, it was simply a painless learning experience. He takes the time to teach you important points that can help you in the future (e.g. PCAT, MCAT) He does null details that are only important for brainiacs.

Dr. Brightman understands that the way we remember things is to have an emotion tied to them. He gives you facts so they are FUNNY and that's why we remember what he teaches. Take him early in your studies and he will give you a Big Picture view of science. There's a reason he is the most popular instructor at SPG - he's that good.

Dr. Brightman is the best instructor on the market. I have only had him for two months, but he is amazing. He makes things easy to understand. He has no trick questions. Like the other student says, he connects with your emotions to help you remember things.. i.e. wilma's pearls, or scooby doo eyes... very compact & simple if you study.

In all honesty, I'd recommend Dr. B to anyone who's seeking a professor that maintains your interest. However, I felt that his class was too easy and will not prepare me for med school. For those seeking a pro that will challenge you, I'd recommend lancraft. Although, I think that Dr B is an astounding prof. and deserves my respect. =)

Dec 6, 2022

Your grade is based on only 4 unit tests. No extra credit is offered. Unless you plan to attend the class I would not recommend this especially if you are a visual learner. To put it into better perspective, I got an A in the lab portion of the class (different teacher) and barely passed with a C in this lecture class.

He has all of his notes available online and they're short, but detailed with exactly what you need to know. He made nightclass worth it, even though it seems inconvenient, he comes up with funny analogies in class which helped me in the end. You are graded on three on about the exams with an optional open up final. Learn material = pass.

He made A&P 1 very easy and cracked lots of jokes. He gives very clear study guides and all grades come from 3 exams. No textbook, optional final exam (after the 3), and one of the exams is open note. All material is accessible online, even recorded zoom lectures. He makes it difficult to fail, as long as you're paying a little attention. 100/10!

I am sooo glad I took A&P 1 and lab with Dr. Brightman! He has short prerecorded lectures and notes that have everything you will need to succeed in the class as long as you STUDY. He is very straight forward and helps you remember the information by giving helpful mnemonics in the videos.

Professor Brightman is a personable and funny guy. His ZOOM videos on his online class are essentially what to focus on. He provides notes - and tests are based on his notes that he provides. Only four exams, which two were not proctored. I would have had an A if I studied for the first exam - so the B is on me.

Dr. Brightman provides help to any who desire it. He gives interactive lectures which the students participate in. He is good at responding to emails and I was lucky to have him as my A&P lecture professor. You do not need a textbook for his A&P class, however it may be helpful to have one regardless. Good luck to all!

Basically zero homework. Which sounds nice but not conducive to actually learning material. Took lab with this professor and it was the same story. Materials provided are simply choppy notes/study guides and photos with labels. The zoom lectures are nice, but they did not cover everything. Only allowed to close eyes during proc exams - unnatural

This professor does not teach his labs, there's no lectures or explanations, his class is just a weekly archive of pictures of lab models that you need to memorize.There is no homework, just study each picture for the tests and you will pass. But, if you actually want to learn A&P I would not take this professor

The online course has 4 exams and no grades, proctored exams with strict rules for cheating. The instructor does "lectures" and posts low-quality images for study purposes. I genuinely feel sorry for anyone who has to take him, I won't suggest him to anyone. Overall, it's a poor class; if you're taking it, get ready to study hard.

I had Dr. B for lecture and lab. There is a reason that his classes fill up so fast. He's always giving great tips and tricks for remembering things. Be prepared to study, as your grade will be based only on exams and quizzes, but rest assured that you'll be set up to learn everything you need to know and nothing that you don't.

Dr. Brightman himself was great, but DO NOT take his online class. No textbook, and your entire grade is based on three proctored major exams (automatic zero if you look away from the screen). The entire class was just memorizing a provided list of bullet points and technical terms and hoping not to screw up any of the tests.

He lays out clear expectations. However, if you're not a good test taker, look elsewhere. Your grade relies on it. I found difficulty with the quality of the test questions, they used confusing language. Combine that with the strict test taking or risk zero, I found myself overthinking about my body language rather than focused on my test.

I really enjoyed Dr. B's class. He is very clear about the information he really wants you to learn, he has a good sense of humor, and he has his own ways to really hammer the information in. The class is only graded from 3 (with an optional 4th) exams. So in order to receive a good grade you have to perform well on them. Exam 1&3 are proctored.
