Easy A if you study, pay attention, and don't skip class. If you cannot commit to this class then you shouldn't be going for the medical field. He is a doctor who knows a lot. Take advantage. Definitely study on your own though. If you work hard you will get an A! Take his class! Showing up to class is 10% of your grade, so don't miss class.

Don't bother taking this class unless you dedicate A LOT of time to studying and self-teaching. Lectures are long and boring, drops lowest test grade but the tests are HARD. Regretted taking this professor knowing there was better out there. Anatomy itself is hard, but I didn't think he made it any better.

Extremely intelligent professor, retired MD, actually. Be ready to pay attention to extensive lectures and to take pages of notes each class. Show up or ship out. 3 major exams worth 25 % each and they aren't easy. Make sure you read the book and notes in entirety, what he says won't will be on the test WILL BE. Study four hours on end to pass!

Interesting lectures, but the problem is that his exam questions do not match his lectures! He will tell you to understand basic concepts and then questions are very specific. I would say only half of the exam matches what he teaches. I studied and am in the medical field and couldn't score higher than a C on an exam and they are worth so much!

Amazing teacher. I sincerely enjoyed his lectures, even though they were usual dense with a lot of note taking. The lecture exams were easy and worth a lot of points. The lab exams were much harder but if you sufficiently studied for them, they were easy. Would definitely recommend taking him, and he is hilarious.

LOTS of note taking & studying outside of class. Class time consists of lectures & occasional lab. Gives extra credit options on each test. Don't miss class or you'll fall behind. Managed to get a "B" but got an "A" in Anat/Phys 1. Definitely had to work much harder to pass, but learned so much that will benefit anyone going into the medical field.

He's a great intro to college teacher, and if he teachers A&P2, it would be a good idea to grab his class on your schedule. He is very thorough. A&P is not an easy class to begin with so it's not a good idea to slack off. As long as you listen, take notes, and do the packets he gives you before those lectures, everything will make sense. Funny too

His lectures never seem to end, and we didn't really do any labs. I feel like I was not going to be prepared for A&P 2 so I stopped showing up (which I realize is a BAD idea don't do it) and am retaking it with a different professor this semester. Again, please don't take this class if you don't want to hear him go on tangents all the time.

Honest review from an honest student: Cheeseman is a solid professor but be warned, he isn't the "easiest" professor out there. He is primarily lecture based and your grade in the class is based off of what you make on your exams. Lectures go hand in hand with exams. If you work hard, read, and study (even on a basic level) you will surely get an A

I took both courses with this professor. I did not enjoy the time i spent in this class. His lectures go on forever to a point you lose focus. Your whole grade is based on tests, so if you are not a strong test taker do not take him. He also changes the format of every test so you never really know exactly what to study. Would not recommend.

I don't see how he could have made the class any easier without just giving us free grades. 6 lab tests (matching) and 6 lecture tests (multiple choice and 1 or 2 free response for extra credit). They are long tests but cover exactly what he covers in his lectures. His lectures can be long but he is funny sometimes. Funny guy, great class.

Professor C or Dr. C is such a great Professor. His class is engaging he would try to connect the class into certain scenarios that are not out of the topic. You would enjoy him with his jokes. His grading scale is kinda scary the test is 90% of the grade and the 10% is your attendance. But if you do all the work and study you will pass the class.
