He has an accent, which makes it harder to understand the material. He teaches off the overhead and moves way too fast. If you're going to take him you will be relying on your book 95% of the time to learn the material.

He was a really good teacher except for the fact that he jumps around a little to much in his lectures. A lot of the tests were information aquired from the book. He also has a good sense of humor so the lectures arent too boreing. I would take his class for sure.

VERY detail oriented. Good lecturer and you'll find yourself wanting to write every word he says. Tests are pretty hard since he likes to cover ever little detail from the text; but he does give 10-20 point curves and his grading scale is pretty low (>35=B). Highly recommended for those planning on going to medical, dental or pharmacy school.

Easy class, I went the first couple days of semester and ended with a B for the final grade. Few pointers 1. Buy the book 2. Print the lecture notes and Study guide 3. Outline chapters and study them. He gives HUGE curves if you do this you dont have to go to class and you will get a good grade!! But if you NEED Science for your major pay attention

Took him over the summer so already a fast pace track. So much info, all you can do is read read read. He is very specific on his tests, but gives a very generous curve. Repetition is the key. Go to class bc sometimes asks for attendance. Definitely buy the book and read it (ahead of time preferably). It does help tremendously since he skips around

Gill's accent and his monotone don't make him the easiest person to listen to and he doesn't cover all the material that will be on the test but! his curve is very generous and if you read the book and understand the material then you won't have any problems. be motivated-do well

To guarantee an A I suggest going to class everyday, pay attention & be engaged(answer questions-it helps you remember=less studying). The tests are around 100 q's, he throws in several details that he mentioned in class & he does tend to focus more on his notes. The supplemental book seemed to be more like his notes rather than the required book

Gill is not clear, organized, effective or very respectful of students. He jumps around during lectures and never stops for questions. He's more interested in covering material than gauging whether his students understand him. The tests were apparently written a long time ago b/c they don't reflect what was actually covered in class. For shame.

He's not that bad. As long as you attend class and take good notes. The text book is for detail information but those who dont read dont understand. His notes will help you 80% of the test's 105 questions. The 20% is based on how much you understand biology. Take the online quizzes(25 questions). He might throw in like 5 some of these questions.

Be sure to go to class because he gives random clicker quizzes and his exams are based on his lecture notes. His tests are not a joke - 105 questions, 90 minutes.

His lectures were boring but exams are straightforward compared to Wayne's. I took AP 1 with Wayne, AP 2 with Gill. Made A+ on both.

I had Dr. GIll for both A&P 1 and A&P 2 lab and I absolutely enjoyed both! The class consists of weekly quizzes, a midterm and final, and TopHat assignments. if ur taking a lecture w him, the tophat assignments are the same! As long as u rlly study the lab manual, u will do well bc questions are pulled DIRECTLY from it. Overall, I loved the class!
