Awesome person. Dr. Truong will help anyone willing to put in the effort. He tells you everything you need to know but you have to learn it. He stresses learning not memorizing. I am an accounting major and he made anatomy and physiology easy enough for me to get an A.

He's a great teacher, hands down. Very helpful, makes anatomy & phisology a very obtainable, (do I dare say it) and fun subject to learn. As stated in all of his classes if you want to succeed: you, the student, have to do your part (study) and Dr. Truong does his (teach). He really does want his students to succeed but you have to want it first.

ANAT150 is 20% physiology, 80% anatomy vs. ANAT 151 is 20% anatomy and 80% physiology. Put in the time reading, studying, and UNDERSTANDING the material. Don't memorize!

Dr. Truong is one of the best professors I have ever taken. His motto throughout A&P II was "understand, don't memorize" and he means it. He takes the time to explain things and relate them back so you can really understand. If you go to class and pay attention/take notes then you should be fine. The course is tough but he really takes the time

Dr. Truong is the best Anatomy & Physiology professor. If you attend class on a daily basis he gives you hints to the exam. It does require many studying hours outside of class to earn an "A". He gives enough extra credit during midterms. However, he gives many exams throughout the semester and has pt1&2 finals. Difficult class but doable.

Lectures are often paced too slow or too fast but he does detail what you should study pretty well. There's a few questions on exams that will try to trick you but it's not unmanageable. My main issue is that the lectures are basically just him reading off google slides rather than teaching us good ways to memorize which is essential for the exams.
