Hes Great! Once you figure out the set up of the class then you will be just fine. Make sure to stay on a schedule and keep up with the daily study guide and you will be just fine. All tests are online on canvas and are pretty easy if you study. He has a sense of humor and explains things simple and doesn't overcomplicate things.

Be prepared to teach yourself the material by watching crash course on YouTube. Homeworks are busy work. He talks a lot about himself in lab. On the plus side he does not care about attendance and complements ladies on their dressing. I am an OTA student so I did not take 242.

This professor was amazing. He was very kind and understanding. He is very knowledgeable and pretty much can look at any part of the body and tell you what it is and its function. His tests can be difficult because they talk about very specific parts of the human body and sometimes seeing the angle can be difficult. If you work hard you can succeed

He is very harsh. I took his class after another instructor did not work out for mr. Too much busy work. I had computer problems and did not get assignments done on time. I kindly request an extension but he never answered my email. He makes you email him on his personal email address and then never respomd to emails.

I've taken him for both A&P classes. I appreciate tests being online and only 4 test/labs/homework assignments a term. Lectures are easy to keep up with, but I feel like once I get onto the lab/tests, there are questions I've never seen before. Would recommend especially with a tough class like this.

For someone who took this course also at another university Lacy made this course so doable and easy. I took this course during the summer and every exam was online and there was no final. He isn't like other snobby professors who make this class a "weed out" class he genuinely made it very doable and easy for students. Loved this course by him.

Thayne never responds to any emails. I have tried to contact him many times but never got a response. Videos are not made by him and he cancels class all the time and tells us to go watch YouTube videos from some other professor. I can get past this part but he us never available.

The best teacher I've ever had. Explains things in a way that is so digestible. He's very funny and interactive with the class. You'll have the opportunity to see a cadaver. All tests are online. Take him over anyone else.

Easiest Anatomy class in all of Spokane. Only 4 open book exams all quarter and attendance not required. Easy A. I am not sure if I will remember anything but at least the class was easy. Due to my work shifts changing I think I attended 3 labs the whole quarter. Easy going guy too.
