His test's were so hard only around 7 people out of my 40 - 50 student class ever even passed the tests. The class average grade in my class was 32%.

This class sucked. He was hard as hell. Even though I studied my brains out, the test were made to fail everyone. I did decent in the class, but the class average was around 24% the semester I took his class.

take anyone but Jones!

It isn't about his class being hard, its about the conveyance of knowledge and his failure to so so. Jones is a Darwin alright, but only to himself. No can do when it comes to explainning stuff. Other than that, hes ok.

This teacher needs to be fired.

Do not take this teacher. He does not know how to lecture. His Lab has no direction. He is horrible. Take this class at a jc!!!

He sucked i wouldnt take him again. Got lucky with the grade I got but I didnt learn anything.

He wont help you dosent know how to lecture. No organization has an ego. If you care about your GPA get ready for it to drop points.

VERY VERY DIFFICULT. have to know every bold word in lab manual. expect to spend all time studying for this class and still barely pass. Would def recommend taking it at a JC.

DO NOT,I REPEAT,DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!YOU WILL END UP STUDYING YOUR BUTT OFF FOR NOTHING.CLASS AVERAGE IS(YR AFTER YR)IN THE 20% RANGE.HE IS SMART BUT OBVIOUSLY WANTS EVEYONE TO FAIL B/C HE DOESN'T CHANGE HIS TEACHING METHODS.I GOT A C BUT I KNOW OTHER STUDENTS GOT BETTER GRADES AND DIDNT ANYTHING SO BASICALLY TALK ABOUT FOOTBALL W/HIM,YOU'LL PASS

DO NOT TAKE TERRY JONES!! WORST TEACHER EVER. HIS SLIDES ARE USELESS, HIS LECTURE IS USELESS.

The first test he made an error in grading the scantrons by switching up the keys(there were only two keys).Lab manuals with the material we were responsible to learn(and spell correctly) were filled misspelled words and stuff "you dont have to know"(his words not mine). Save your money and take this at a JC, the material will be taught alot better

DO NOT TAKE, i am a 4.0 student and i took this class this man is the reason i will never be a nurse

You really have to go to class because what he lectures is on the test. He is not helpful at all and gives no study guides. Horrible, horrible teacher. Made my want to change my major and lost faith in myself.

He is by far the worst Anatomy professor out there. He knows his stuff, but definitely does not know how to teach it. His tests are based on what he lectures, but you must learn the material by heart in order to pass his tests. I recommend to take the anatomy class elsewhere, especially if you need an A to get into the nursing program.

HARDEST CLASS I've ever taken. I studied a few hours every single day and it was still impossible for me to pass. Dr. Jones simply doesn't want you to pass! He wants us all to fail and make it impossible for any of us to fulfill our dream of becoming a nurse. ONLY 50% OF THE CLASS PASSES! Mostly everyone changed their major by the end of the term.

This class is really tough. Most people don't even pass and end up changing their major. He does not provide help or study guides. You think you can do it but you really can't. I study all day everyday, including weekends and i still can't pass! By the way I am on the dean's list for the past three semesters, so it doesn't mean that I don't study.

Don't even try and take a class with Jones. He WILL fail you. Nobody passes this class, there's no point.

Just don't take this class. DON'T.

Jones' way of teaching is not the best . The lecture tests were the hardest because the practicals are just memorizing & identifying. An A in his class is really really hard but its not impossible. I got a B in his class but had I put 10% more effort, I would have had an A. Just study even if you feel like you know it because chances are you don't.

This class is not worth your effort and time. Please take this course somewhere else. It gets to the point where you have to spend all your time to this class. You won't even have time to do homework for your other courses.

Don't take him. Spend your money elsewhere. Take it at a JC.

Do yourself a favor and don't take this class. It isn't worth it.

Don't take this class!

The exams are hard because there is a lot to study for them. Also the lab practicals are hard especially the first one. There are only two practicals. I recommend to not take his class but if you have to then you will have to dedicate your whole life to this one class. And you will barely pass! Half the class fails, and half passes. Good luck!!!!

Please save yourself from tears and stress, don't take him. It isn't worth it. Smart people are struggling in this class. It is super hard. You can spend all the time you want studying for this class and you will barely pass.

Don't take him even if he is your last option.

Take anatomy somewhere else.

If you are a athlete DO NOT take this class during season. Try to take this class at a junior college but if you do take him be ready for fast pace lectures, power points with no text, no study guides and memorizing the entire chapter because literally anything and everything is fair game during test. Study groups or tutoring is highly recommended.

Terrible professor. Lecture slides were diagrams taken straight from the textbook, and he would simply spend class rambling about the diagrams. Very condescending, I do not think he cares to see students succeed, all he cares about is his paycheck. I've put hours into this class but still find myself coming home after class frustrated and upset.

Really difficult to pass this class. You can understand the material on your own, however the tests are what fails the whole class. He marks you down for spelling and gives quizzes every week. Beware. Our class average was 13%.

During lectures, he would get off topic A LOT! All exams are fill in the blank. For his short answer questions he wants it specific and DO NOT WRITE OUTSIDE THE BOX. He will automatically give you a ZERO. He barely told the class this when we began our THIRD EXAM! He's a tough grader so be ready!

he is very hard and you have to be very precise on what terms you use even though he might have said it during lecture it could be marked down. Clarify with him on the correct terminology. Go to all the SI's they really help and reread your notes everyday. Do not take this class if you have a choice.

Lectures give little to no info., Labs are difficult to grasp ( paragraph descriptions- uses harder terms to describe what you should know, very little pictures) Test fill in blank, paragraph answer, no word bank - Avoid this class or Drop - or take it literally anywhere else

Class outline: given a blank piece of paper, no word bank all short answer Class avg. 39/100 (1st test) (does no curve) Lab: gives little diagrams if any (bad at explaining) Lecture: attendance not necessary this semester, isn't effective on staying on topic or explaining, posts slides with pictures but little words (had vacation pictures in class

High retention( fail rate) averages for two tests so far both under 50% (38,45). Teacher doesn't explain/ plan out lecture well, no curve. Prof has tenure and doesn't care, Take anywhere else

Hopefully this Professor finds something he's good at because he sure isn't good at teaching. Lecture sucks, tells stories and jokes more than he teaches. Tests are difficult. It's all short answer, and he marks students for writing outside the box on tests and also for spelling.

Hard, Hard, Hard....... Take somewhere else! He's really lazy and exams are super hard. You must dedicate 100% of your time to pass this class.

Unless you're Einstein or have no other priorities, this class is not for you. He is not accommodating at all and it is nearly impossible to pass his class. You have to dedicate every waking hour to studying for this class ALL the time. All his exams are short answer and you have to be incredibly detailed. He's a cool dude just a bad professor.

Hes cool to talk to in lab, but if you need a good grade in anatomy to get into the nursing program, do NOT take it here. The class average for exams were always really low, once as low as 27% for my class, and he is a tough grader. He wants very specific answers, the tests are unnecessarily hard, and all questions on every exam are open ended.

Nope. Do not even read the 4/5 star ratings. I took this class thinking that I would be challenged and would get an A but noo. I study very hard and meticulous for this class. Do not waste your time and money. Take your Anatomyor any of your sciencesat a JC. -Pre-nursing

I honestly have no words. Average for everything was low F's like how it is at UC's, but the difference is no curve over here lol. Anyone that leaves a good review probably was only taking anatomy and had no job which allowed them to study 8 hours plus a day. I am so shook from his class.

Probably the worst teacher I have had at Stanislaus. Extremely difficult, I would spend so much time studying and still would not pass exams. Even some of the advisors would warn me about him.

Goodluck for those of you that think his anatomy being online is going to be easier. Exams come from a big pool of questions so even if you take the exams in a group you are all going to have different exams. Also, you can't just look up answers from google because the exams go through Turnitin and if there is plagiarism... you failed the class.

Don't get me wrong Dr. Jones is easy to talk to and will help you if you ask him. What I didn't like was that he would watch his baseball games during lab. He was super laid back but didn't seem super invested in his students. All exams are fill in the blank, expect to know everything! Only bright side is that he curves your grade.

This class was a nightmare. This is my second time taking this course, the first time with a different professor, and I was hoping that Jones would be better. HE'S NOT! I think this course is just terrible at Stan. This class gave me so much anxiety I broke down sobbing multiple times - it's not worth it.

The worst professor I've had during my time at Stan State, next up would be Scales. The anatomy professors at this school are awful and I wish they would look into that. The class is ridiculous and you're expected to memorize more stuff than humanly possible. Taking this class means that you enjoy pain and suffering.

He was a horrible professor... If you want to pass this class you'll need a miracle because he will do everything in his power to make it impossible for you to pass. he would also explain his family was "white trailer trash" which was extremely disrespectful and out of line for a professor. He also would treat you horribly if you asked questions...

Terry Jones is the worst professor I've ever had. His lectures are pointless as he tends to get off subject and only provides slides with no text. His labs are also very lack luster as I have barely learned anything from them since he relies on students "teaching" other students. Anatomy is challenging and I would highly recommend a better teacher.

Jones is the worst professor I have ever had in my entire life. He is extremely lazy and makes everything online and auto-graded. He sits around and does absolutely nothing during labs and would rather talk about beers during lecture. If you are unable to get Scales, take anatomy at MJC, do everything to avoid Jones. I mean it when I say RUN!

I had a hard time with Jones, you are setup to struggle. Lab was a waste of my time, it was all students teaching each other. HE ASSUMES EVERYONE KNOWS ANATOMY LIKE HE KNOWS IT. Lecture was a waste of time too he talked more about rock bands or drinking beer. You are set up to fail for Lab exams!

This is the worst Professor I've ever encountered. He teaches NOTHING, lab consists of him sitting on his phone scrolling for 3+ hours while he relies on students to teach each other, His lecture is basically him making bad jokes and talking about beer and heavy metal. I honestly am astounded that he is a professor at CSU Stanislaus.

Labs consisted of students teaching each other. Lots of homework assignments that are worth nothing in your grade. Great person, not so great professor. Be prepared to teach yourself everything and rely on outside sources because I learned nothing in lecture, less than 1/2 of the content on the readings was taught during lecture.

IDK what the last few reviews are about but Dr Jones has no place being a professor at CSU STAN. He simply does not care, and puts in almost no effort to teach his class. This is the worst college experience i've had and it's extremely stressful investing so much money to take this class with so little help or guidance. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!!!

Worst professor ever, he doesn't teach in lab just sits on his phone and relies on students teaching each other?? I'm paying for this class not to be taught by fellow students! Lectures are a waste of time he just makes lame jokes and talks about beer and metal bands. Do not take this class with Dr. Jones you'll regret it!

DO NOT take this class in the summer especially if it is you're first time taking it... Way too fast paced, you won't be able to keep up. The highest grade in the class was a B- and it was just one person. I'm usually do well in science classes, and this was the first time I really struggled. You're on your own during lab, he doesn't really help.

Listen to these reviews, do not take Terry Jones he is a terrible professor. Anatomy is already a tough course and he makes it as hard as possible. The average for our class lab practical was a 40% and a student even got a 4/100, half the class did not pass.

Dropped this class within the first 2 weeks as a student with a 4.0. This class was ridiculous. No open lab, no recording lectures, does not provide lecture material. Doesn't teach during lab, is on his phone or out of the room. Lectures are rambles and barely any material but no words on his slides only pictures. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS.

I've had straight As since high school. Took this over the summer and regret it so much. You have a much better chance taking the class with someone else. This course was a waste of money and delayed me two semesters because it was too late to enroll in the fall. I will have to take the class again next spring with a different professor.

I would not recommend this professor at all. In fact, take another professor-Scales! Didn't learn anything in this class, had to teach myself and rely on the books for class. Labs were boring too,you are on your own if you want to learn. The professor somehow manages to turn every lecture into a rambling monologue about beer, his wife, and his kid

I DON'T recommend taking Jones. He isn't helpful, during labs he would just sit in the middle of the classroom on his phone and when you would call him, he seemed bothered. In lecture, he would get off track and talk about his family and ribeye. Some tests I felt confident and I would fail it like? I LOWKEY THINKS he purposely fails students
