This professor is awesome. He is helpful and lets you know exactly what he expects from you at the beginning. He gets a big thumbs up!!

Know your slides backward and forward - that's pretty much the test. Questions can be tricky - unless you know your slides!

This class is hard, no two ways about it. You have to study and the book is necessary to explain the concepts. The test questions, however, mostly come from the slides. There are also several questions on every test from the reading assignments, and some questions that come from nowhere, to weed out A's from B's and so forth. Very nice and helpful.

Dr. Ravine is an incredible professor! Nice guy, funny sense of humor. A&P II is tough, not Ravine. Added extra points to final average for attendance. Posts study guide. Genuninely wants his students to succeed. Took Carliss for Part 2 this past summer, made a C. Took Ravine, made a B.

Ravine is great. This isn't one of those classes you can just BS your way through, you have to work hard & actually understand the material. These A&P courses aren't meant to be easy; they're meant to weed out those who aren't serious about Nursing, Med School, etc. If you can't pass this class, change your major, b/c it's only going to get worse.

Dr. R. is great. By far he has been the best proffesor I've had to date. He lets you know as much has he can about the exams. Study Guides were very helpful. If you make the effort he definitely will do the same. The subject is not easy but this is the teacher to have!!!!

very good teacher. hard tests. notecards were helpful. memorize his slides/notes

Dr. Ravine is one of the best instructor's South Alabama has. His tests are tough, but it's the nature of the material. I guess if you're going to be a doctor, nurse or radiologist, you have to know your A & P. My advice is know the slides backwards and forwards, come to class and you'll pass.

Great teacher! He is very entertaining in class which makes the class go by faster! His mannerisms are just funny and amusing. His tests are a little difficult but if you study they are not impossible. Slides are imortant and so are assigned readings and chapter quizzes if you want to make a maximum grade. I thoroughly enjoyed his class.

Wish I could have another class with him! His teaching is complex but his tests are still 100 level. This means that for those who are OCD and must know exactly how and why he will give it to you, but the tests aren't impossible. Still a gatekeeper course, though, so tear the book apart, especially parts pertaining to slides. Excellent professor!!!

It is a lot of material to go over and most of it is memorization but if you attend class then he will tell you what to look out for and what could be on the test. hint hint. If you study the slides and what he told you to remember you will be fine. On his study guides answer each question and make questions out of the other answers. A is possib

Easy as long as your listen to cues

THIS CLASS IS HARD AND IMPOSSIBLE TO PASS UNLESS YOU LIVE AND BREATHE ANATOMY!!! I WITHDREW

it's not an easy class, but if you know the slides, you will be just fine. he is a very nice guy!

I took Dr.Ravine for A & P I and I am taking him this semester for A and P II. I like him as an instructor. To get an A, you MUST study his slides and attend class :) I made a C in A & P I (very disappointing), but now I know what to study... HIS SLIDES! Good Luck! An A is possible though!

Very challenging course! He gives you the info that he wants you to know for the test, but it is abunchhhh! His class is not impossibe, just time comsuming. Dr. Ravine belives you should study atleast 20hrs a week for his class. "no joke" his words.

he is a good teacher the material is just hard. you HAVE to study!!! a lot to make higher than a C. it is a challenging class but doable

I made an A on this class without attending class. Why? I read every single thing in the book!

Powerpoints, what he posts on coursecompass, and the book is essential to make a good grade on his tests. Attendance boosts your overall average. Typically 4 Lab days a semester. Class isn't bad, but studying is a must.

OH DR. RAVIVE! I TOOK HIM FOR 114 AND NOW IN HIS 115 CLASS. I GOT A C IN 114. HE IS GOOFY BUT TEACHES VERY WELL. YOU DO GET 3 EXTRA POINTS ADDED TO YOUR TOTAL GRADE AT THE END IF YOU HAVE BEEN TO EVERY CLASS. STUDY THE SLIDES AND READ THE BOOK. MY ONLY COMPLAINT WOULD BE IS SOMETIMES HE WILL START TO SAY SOMETHING AND NOT FINISH WITH THE ANSWER YOU

I have taken Dr. Ravine for 114 & 115 his test are difficult but not impossible. you have to completely know his slides backwards & forwards, & you have to come to class to recieve bonus points which are extremely helpful towards your final average he has a sense of humor. However, this class should not be taught as a 100 level course it's intense!

Dr. Ravine is an excellent teacher. You don't have to take your own notes, because he gives you the notes [i.e., powerpoint slides]. He even color codes the most important points in red and in blue. His tests were hard but fair. Courses in BMD aren't easy, but this was a good intro to what's expected of you.

the test are hard and you need to know your stuff in and out. think of it like this, you would not want to go to the E.R. and be seen by someone who did not take studing serious.you must know the slides and book.use all study material provided on coursecompass and leave at least 2+ hours of study time per class session and review slides everyday.

This class is hard and time consuming...But Ravine tries to make jokes to keep it light...You have to study ALOT...know his slides especially. Also, do not leave trash in his room or have you cell phone out, EVER. It makes him really mad, and he will post his anger on his announcements online.

This class is hard, and you need to study, study, study! But he is a good teacher and tries to help. He WILL NOT do anything for you, but he will tell you what you need to do to get a good grade. Take him if you really want to learn.

I almost took Bru because she's the "easy teacher" but I'm doing great in Ravine. We've only had two tests so far but ive got 96 on both. Just study the POWERPOINTS!!!! forget about the book or class. Just SLIDES& FIGURES!! & study them througout the week not just the night before. He's really funny too in a strange kinda way

Well,the class is hard but you can make it if you study. Be positive! He is not that hard.

Dr. Ravine is a good instructor. He's quite knowlegable in human A&P. He's not difficult....pretty much follows the textbook. He tries to help his students when he can and when they come to him for help.

He is a nice guy but it seems like he wants to joke more than teach some days. Dont buy the book his test are straight from the slides. His test are hard because of the information you HAVE to memorize!

This is not your typical 100 level course. There is alot of information to digest for exams.Dr. Ravine is extremly knowlegable and tries to translate complex ideas into plain terms with a little humor mixed in. He prepares you for future medical related endevors. Highly recommended. Study the SLIDES

Dr. Hannibal Lectere! He will make you or break you! This is a no BS A&P class, you will be well prepared for future classes by taking this class. Its not for the wimpy, you will need to study, grade boosting extra credit. Take him if you wanna be something and have chutzpah!

The best! This is a real teacher, and a real class. You will learn, dont be lazy and try to fly under the radar. This dude knows his shtuff, hes a great teacher!

Dr Ravine is a good teacher, but u most know your stuffs to pass his class.Most of his questions comes from his slides, but this doesn't mean that you could read his slides and understand it to be able to answer exam questions. Read the textbook and get the idea, then concentrate on the slides before exams.His exam questions are tough,tie ur belt.

Dr. Ravine is a very hard tester. Memorize the slides in depth and you will make an A. Also, if he sees that you work hard and really put forth an effort he will give you the benefit of the doubt. He let me make up an assignment at the end of the semester that I had missed, thus pushing me from an 89 to a 90.

Ravine is a great teacher the only reason people do bad in his class is because they don't come to class, they don't study, or they don't listen to his lectures. He is extremely helpful, yes he is a bit blunt and can come of as very rude but it is due to the fact that he is very intelligent. This is college people you have to study or you fail.

He's very straightforward. The tests are based solely on if you're prepared. It's a tough class, but he's a great teacher. If you are prepared enough for the exams, they're a cakewalk. (I'm talking several days of studying)

Enjoyed Ravine's class very much. He is extremely knowledgeable and will answer any question you have, in depth. He explains difficult concepts in a way that everyone can understand. Tests are difficult, but doable if you answer the questions on the study guide he gives out.

Okay, Dr. Ravine is a great, smart professor, but he shouldn't be teaching this low level class. It felt like a graduate class where he expected us to know everything. His lectures were hard to follow, but he did well at them. Buy the book and read the chapters. Best way to study for him. Also, do the extra credit!! It can make a difference.

Much harder tests than Anatomy 1. Same style though, and notes and online work were also the same style. It's not hard material, it's just SO MUCH memorization. It takes up a LOT of your time, but you have to do it if you want a good grade! I'd wait until you are ready for the test before you complete the online work, 100s on those can really help!

Memorize the slides (about 120 per test, they're not that detailed either) and I GUARANTEE you'll get an A (if you do homework, too). I didn't attend class all semester and did NOT purchase the book. His tests come directly from the slides and study figures that he posts well in advance. Anyone who fails this class didn't even TRY to pass. Easy A.

I found his lectures entertaining. He does monologues and also impressions to demonstrate concepts. The test material can bog you down if you wait till the last minute to study. Slides and study figures are where to go. Hardly ever used the book.

Dr. Ravine is one of the best teachers that I have ever had the chance to take! I have had him for BMD 115 & 210 & his teaching method is VERY ORGANIZED, which any student would appreciate. He uses powerpoints that go in the order of the book, which is extremely helpful in breaking down the information. He gives student numerous tools to succeed!

Honestly, Dr. Ravine's BMD class was easy and the tests were too. If you study the powerpoints that he assigns to you (yes there are a lot of slides) and you memorize the information, you should easily make an A on ever exam. I ended his class with a 102 and I only read the power points and did the study guides. Only need online book (save money)

Very challenging! Loved his personality.

This class is difficult but if you read the slides you will do just fine! His lectures are sometimes hard to follow because he rambles but he gives real life experiences. Come to class and pay attention you will pass! Overall great teacher.

LOVED HIS CLASS!!!!! His power points are very organized and helpful. If you study those thoroughly you will pass. This class may take a lot of effort, but its college!!

Ravine's lectures were boring and he read straight from the powerpoint. His tests weren't very difficult and he offered extra credit for each test. He isn't necessarily hard. His lectures just weren't very engaging or interesting. You're better off just teaching yourself

Mr. Ravine is a great professor. A&P isn't an easy course, but if you try, you will definitely do well in the class. Attendance is only required on clinical days. His lectures tend to be all over the place, so be prepared to use the PowerPoints to teach yourself. He gives a lot of extra credit!

Dr Ravine is a good professor, he gives extra credit opportunities, no drop grades on the exams, and if you study the PowerPoints it is mainly the test.

I enjoy Dr. Ravine, his exams are very difficult but using his power points to study and understanding all of the material made it doable. He has a lot of energy and class was enjoyable.

Ravine prepares you for health careers- wants you to really know the information and adapt your study habits to succeed. Online homework is often irrelevant to lecture topics but is fairly simple. Tests demand crucial memorization and attention to detail, fairly difficult. He does offer decent bonus, friendly and approachable, and willing to help.

A&P is a hard class, but Dr. Ravine does everything in his power to make sure you pass. He offers 10 bonus points after each exam, and adds 6 points to your overall grade at the end if you complete the assignments. His lectures were hard to follow. I never went to class; just study the powerpoints & you will do well in his class.

Lots of memorization, but use quizlet to help you study!! There multiple already made!! I made 90's when I studied those, yes there over 300 flashcards, but if you want to succeed you know what to do. Ravine encourages his students to keep going!! BEST BMD PROFESSOR!!

Dr. Ravine's BMD252 class is challenging, but the bonus points and extra credit opportunities make it manageable. Studying the PowerPoints is key, and Unstuck ai can be a helpful study tool alongside other resources.
