He's difficult, but I feel like I'm doing better in nursing classes because of him. To me, I remember him as SOOO knowledgeable, but not the best at expressing his knowledge. He'd get pretty frustrated in lab, I believe for that reason.

Dr. Lancraft is way to technical for me. Though he may be funny at times, he lectures as though everyone in the class has a background in anatomy and is not easily understood in my opinion.

Mr Lancraft works to prepare students for a nursing career. In lectures he uses a computer program which he created, and does a play, pause and talk method of teaching.

I was very disappointed in this teacher. Very difficult. when you ask him questions he is very condescending and answers you like you should already know the answer. Not helpful at all.lecture was ok,i liked how he uses a powerpoint to teach.Lab was hard, didn't explain very well. never made sure you had right answers.if possible don't take him

I took the human anatomy class online. This class was strictly based on quizzes, the mid-term, + final exam. Now to some people this may seem great, but to people that don't test well, it was a nightmare. There was an opportunity to do extra-credit each week, but they didn't make a difference. Also have limited amount of time to take quiz.

Professor Lancraft is a wonderful instructor. Grade scale=10 quizzes, 4 super quizzes, and 2 exams (NO CUMULATIVE). His courses are difficult, but he lectures and provides lecture notes (plus many other useful learning activities) only for the material you will be tested on. If you study, make flash cards, and attend class you will have no trouble

Prof Lancraft was an amazing teacher. He was very helpful and more than willing to bend over backwards to help you. He encourages you to join his other classes if you still need a little help. He doesn't use the textbook that much. He has lecture notes that he posts online. If he didn't verbally say it, i won't be on his tests. He's great!

He is ANAL! Wants specifics with correct spelling,it is impossible to spell 20+ letter words correctly.People can say all day long that he just wants you to learn, only people that did well in class were people already in the medical field that had a good amount of knowledge going in. You should be required to take a prep class before taking him.
