If you attend class and take notes you will do fine. He gets most of his test questions from the book.

I found with this class, if you read the chapters and do the online practice quizzes you will do good. Some test questions are exactly the same as in the practice quizzes in the book and online. Overall, he is a good teacher.

Good Prof., will take time to help his students. Tests are hard but like everyone else said if you do the online quizzes and read through the book the class is OK. He gets all of his questions from the books online teacher site. He doesn't require you to attend class but if you do I think it helps your grade because he grades on a serious curve.

He says his test come right from the slides, but they really don't. If you read the chapters and do the online quizzes you'll do fine in his class.

Dr. Hepner is a great teacher. A&P is hard. Period. If you plan on pursuing a career in health you better take the time to read, study and review often. He wants you to know everything, and you should. I highly recommend him if you are serious about learning A&P. If not, you better find an "easy" teacher.

Great professor for a "serious" student. Gives ample info in class without a lab to pass a test with an A. Students who complain about him are not serious about the field they are trying to enter!!!

Good professor!!! His slides are awesome!!! I transferred to a different state after A&P I and i'm now taking A&P II here and I WISH my professor could explain the info like he does. He makes perfect sense! If you don't understand anything, just ask folks! He doesn't require the use of the book and the info are still CLEARLY explained if you ask!

I only had him for Lab, not lecture. He's an awesome teacher. He doesn't mind explaining anything a second or third time. He really wants you to learn something out of it. If you show up to class and show that you are trying, he will work with you and may curve your grade. I got an A in the class when I really should've got a B.

Just started my doctorate in physical therapy. Everything this professor teaches you is essential. Study hard, the course is difficult no matter where you take it. The problem with A&P is that there is not a lot of other ways to present the material. He tells you at the beginning of class to use as many modalities to learn the information as possible. He says you can pass by just studying the slides but don't expect to succeed in the medical field by doing the bare minimum. Thank you Dr. Hepner

I loved him. He is very helpful. Mostly dry but once in a while will crack the class up with a very clever remark. He doesn't get upset with anyone asking questions over and over. His review sessions are a must even if you miss a class or two. He goes over EVERYTHING that will be on the test. I'm very glad I took him.

Very tests and only reads off the powerpoint slides. Book is not recommended but is very useful for better understanding. Very helpful professor but his tests are very hard. Its a challenging course thou.

Pros: Dr Hepner is very helpful and will answer any questions. Quizzes are multiple choice and not many questions Cons: His quiz questions are hard. Lab Reports never had grades on them when returned to us, so we never knew how we were doing on them.

Professor Hepner is a good professor. He is willing to help anyone who seeks help. He does give students a paper to write which is not graded. His class one has to study for because it is not easy by any means. He likes to ask students questions to see how much they've learned.

Dr Hepner is extremely knowledgeable on the subject. He wants you to learn. He is helpful when you ask question? No homework, grades on curve which is helpful.

He is extremley knowledgeable about what he teaches, his class is hard and to pass you must study and pay attention.everything on the exams is on the PP, and he does a review day before each exam, which is very helpfull.you do not need the ap book for his class. Take him only if you are a serious student, and want to learn ap.

This professor is perfect if you are serious about getting into a medical profession. His tests are fair and he doesn't spoon feed the material to you. You have to know it yourself. The slides he goes over, make for a good review. Overall, I recommend him for serious students only.

I think Dr. Hepner is a great teacher but that doesn't mean you don't have to study. This is a very difficult science course and is that way because the medical field is tough and only the strong survive.

He's is an awesome teacher...I didn't get the best grade but that was because i didn't have the best study habit..but overall he explains himself very well...and knows the subject and keeps the class interesting :)

He's is an awesome teacher!. He is very knowledgeable, patient and respectful. I really enjoy his class.

At first, it was extremely boring to hear him lecture on and on, but once half the class dropped and left us 15 in the class he got really into it. All in all, hardest teacher I've ever had, but I work 40 hrs a wk overnight and have other classes so study time is really hard for me to get. He's a good teacher. I recommend taking this class alone.

Very nice professor. Wants you to learn but you need to be willing to study in order to pass. Will help you if you need help. Let's you make up exams if you miss one. Does curve test scores as well which helps in this class. Interesting class but tough material. make sure to study but I recommend this professor.

Dr. Hepner is very well-organized and truly knows what he's teaching and knows how to teach the concepts in a way that students would understand. I took his class in Summer 2014 (with Micro). The course is very challenging but if you have a great teacher like him, an A is attainable and you will learn a lot!

Professor Hepner was great. He tells you from the start it'll be one of the hardest classes you'll take and he was right. However, if you have good study habits and are a serious student he's the prof. for you. The tests are hard but he curves them which helps. Also, his personality and sense of humor show more once he's comfortable with the class.

Best professor I had, the people rating him did not spend the time to study. Tests are only on lecture material and power points, don't need to buy a book! I made an A on all of my exams without his grading curve so I know it's possible to make an A. Record the lecture, listen to it, take notes on your printed out Power points and enjoy your A.

Dr. H was extremely clear, both with expectations of students, and subject material. He has an excellent grasp of the subject. His test are very hard, and it forces you to really know the material. He grades on a curve which helps in the end but you won't know your grade til then. Study A LOT and you'll be fine. Not the most dynamic speaker.

A&P is hard, period! Hepner cares about his students, always available to help students understand this difficult subject. Those rating him low didn't apply themselves and work hard. His grading scale is different (bell curve), but it is 100% in your favor. Show up to class, pay attention, and STUDY!! Great Professor!

If you are looking for an easy A, then A&P isn't for you, period! Dr. Hepner really cares about his students and if you show you are working your hardest and study he takes that into account! Loved his grading scale as it is for us, the students! He understands this is a hard subject. Those rating him low did not study or apply themselves 100%!

Grade is based on test scores completely. Study his online power points daily to score high. Many people dropped this class when I attended. This is because his test have only 40 questions but are hard. No homework or classwork assignments at all. One research paper is given. Overall you can get a good grade, but you must earn it.

If you aren't ready to learn and work hard then don't take him. He wants you to know it all and he covers a whole chapter in one class. His tests and lectures come straight from the powerpoints. Take time every single day to study atleast some. Great professor, wish he taught A&P2. Definitely have to be dedicated to take his class.

AP is hard. Make sure you have time to read. Every exam require a lot...I mean a looot of reading( if u want good grade). He is very understanding and caring.

I took the 8am class and I dont recommend taking an early class. The 11:30 is much more idealistic. Great professor not a hard class just time consuming. Make sure to attend class. It is not mandatory but if you dont then you WILL BE LOST trust me. I did it 2 times and have to take the class again because of not showing up and getting lost.

Also requires a 4 pg research paper.

One of the best proffesors Ive ever had, put in the hard work and youll get a good grade. A&P is a hard subject and an important class to master if youre getting into healthcare. This profesor will prepare you for a solid foundation in A&P. Attend lectures and re-read power points a few times and youll be ok for the tests.

Anatomy 1 is not an easy subject, but Dr. Reuter was a good professor overall. His lectures are clear, as well as his exams, and you can go to his office hours for questions and concerns. Study his powerpoints thoroughly and you will succeed. You have to want it more than anything else. It's not something you do on a whim.

You will only have eight exams and that is your whole grade. Attendance does not count, but a lot of what is on the exams is from what he says. He doesn't use the textbook, but the powerpoints are crucial.

Hepner teaches a hard class but hes an amazing teacher! He answers all questions very clearly. I wish I understood the grading rubric more so I could have studied more and done better.

Professor Hepner is an outstanding teacher. He really wants you to understand the material and answers questions very thoroughly. There is no homework, but studying is a must in this class. You're only graded on 8 exams the entire semester. He reviews the material the class before the test and gives you a chance to practice with the models.

8 tests is your grade. paper requirement for FSW submitted through email. His test questions prepare you for nursing program. you will not find matching vocab and what -itis means on his tests. u have 2study 2UNDERSTAND, because tests are deeper like if this is lacking in RNA what would b likely,etc CURVES GRADE SO MUCH DO NOT FREAK ALL PASS WITH B

HONESTLY THE BEST. his grading sucks because you think you have an F til after you take final and end up with a B or A. idk why no one puts that on here you will be wondering though the semster. just get the 'passing' grade he gives for his tests normally you need to get 50% on his tests to pass with solid C. wish he taught more, he is a past MD...

Some students mentioned that Prof. Hepner does not give you any grades but thats not completely true. He does give you a grade for each of the 8 test you take, the only thing he doesn't give you is an overall grade, but lets be realistic, as a college student you should be able to calculate your overall grade yourself. In fact, he is a fair grader

Be prepared to really learn all the material. Professor lectures of his PowerPoints. If you take good notes on his lectures and review his power points you will do well on his test. No cumulative final!! He usually test every two chapters.

I was stressed all semester because I had an F and was scared I wouldnt pass. But he usually curves the grade at the end and most pass. Very clear and easy to understand, my grade would have been better if i didnt miss a couple classes. Just put in the effort to study or atleast try to understand and it will pay off! Dont stress, mostly all .pass!

He is actually a really great lecture based Professor who teaches an extremely difficult class. He wants you to learn and does his best to help every student. Provides review exams and even has an extra study class before the final that I recommend attending. All in all if you don't want to work hard don't take the class.

He's so understanding; if you miss a test, he will let you make it up. He goes through a lot in class, so sometimes you might not pay attention or comprehend everything he teaches. But if you re-listen his lecture on your own time, I promise you that you will understand everything he said. Make sure you study at least 3 times or more every week.

This class is really difficult but with a professor like him you have the opportunity to truly learn. If you miss a test he will let you take it. He is caring and understanding. Incredible with the lectures.

Great teacher. he knows very well the material. your only homework is to study for the exams. His videos are wonderful very easy to understand.
