One of the most un-helpful profs I've ever had. Poor lecturer.
Very thorough course. Whatever wasn't covered in class was on the exam.
I took this class last year. Thank God for the TA, because the prof was awful.
Extremely boring prof. He seems to be the only one interested in what's being talked about.
No Comments
Sure, it's a hard course, but he really knows what he's talking about. And i love the little movie clips he shows.
He's just too full of himself to actually be helpful. He's mean and a very slow marker! The course itself was interesting, so its too bad that he made it so unpleasant. Maybe if he'd shown some kindness of heart it wouldn't have been so intimidating.
Inglis is a smart guy, unfortunately, he doesn't know how to help his students.
very, very slow marker. i'm still not sure if i passed this course or not; it has been 2.5 weeks since the final exam and still nothing. a lot of material, but not a very good lecturer. doesn't appear accessible, monjeff and greg are good TAs though. study & never fall behind or you'll regret it.
hard, hard course, but prof was a good lecturer and new his stuff. Put a lot of effort in trying to help us learn. Was always available when I set up a meeting time ahead of time. Lots of material, but I got my monies worth
Very full of himself
He teaches a hard course but he tries to make it fun and easy to understand. He's a good guy who seems dedicated and knows what he's talking about.
really great prof, makes things clear and makes lectures interesting.
A very fair prof. He tells you exactly what material will and wont be on exams, so you have only yourself to blame if you dont know it. He makes everything very clear and, despite what others say, is always available if you are willing to set up an appointment. I dont know why people complain about him, hes probably the most fair prof youll get
absolutely, hands down the best professor i have ever had. knew his stuff, challenged his students and was so incredibly excited about the material, that i shared the same excitement. would love to do post-graduate work with him.
Don't like that we have to learn all the lab stuff on our own. Too much content for 3 credits!
the course was pretty tough, but he tried to keep class interesting. the labs were a lot of information to learn on your own, and the exams were pretty tough, alot harder than expected
Not necessarily hard, but A LOT of content! Study and do not underestimate labs. You get out of it what you put in. Tim was interested in the material and always up for questions as long as you knew your background info. Mid-class video's were an excellent brain break.
Ignore those bad posts. Tim is such a nice and approachable guy, if u have ever tried, then u would know. The class in not easy-but what do you expect, you are at university! He will do his very best to help you whenver he can. puts a lot of effort into getting feedback from students and using it to improve lecture. don't skip class, and read!
i just loved this class. tim is an absolutely amazing instructor. my favorite prof hands down. material tough but fair. hope i could do post grad with dr. inglis. he's just the most enthusiastic and knowledgable prof, and you'll be able to share in his interest in the field :)
Awesome! The material is challenging but Tim explains everything thoroughly and clearly so it's not a problem if you go to class. His interest in the material makes it even more interesting as a student and the smaller class size is great for participation. I definitely recommend taking this, and any other classes taught by Tim.
Tim makes the material interesting. It is tough material but he does review at the beginning of every class about the material covered in the previous class. Very helpful when you have a question. His tests are fair if you understand the material. Good class to take if you're interested in learning about muscle adaptation in a bit more depth.
honestly the best course I have taken in a long time. Come prepared to work, and attend the lectures as that is were the grades are. Get engaged.
The material is a bit tough, but super interesting once you get into it! It's essential to go to lecture as this is where all of the explaining is done! Tim makes lectures fun and interesting with his genuine passion for the subject, not to mention is always there if you need help. Study well, think critically, and don't forget to read the papers!
His slides are mostly graphs and diagrams to be sure to attend lectures and take quality notes. Also read the "textbook" he provides. They really help to clarify his slides. His lab is great and interesting. He also has a great sense of humour. Exams are ALL written (no MC), and as such grades take a looong time to get back to you.
He's very knowledgeable and is very excited about what he's teaching, but he talks relatively fast and quietly which makes it extremely difficult to learn because he teaches mainly through his lectures and talking (the posted slides are mostly graphs and figures)
Easiest upper-level KIN course!
Ingle Baby is a real beauty, but he thinks the average in KIN is too high and is very open about his attempts to bring it down. 100% is not possible on his tests, although 90+ is with a lot of work. Great professor, trickster of an examiner. Lectures are very in-depth and informative - record them for best results! (with permission, of course)
Tim's a very knowledgeable teacher, and very good at conveying what he knows. The only issue is the sheer magnitude of information required to know for his exams. Your best bet is to make notes from the textbook, because whatever is written in MOORE ANATOMY is what goes. Still an excellent class, would recommend it as an upper level anatomy.
He literally can not do a lecture with out bringing up a ton of unnecessary information and jokes. I think he's good with questions, very approachable, and a great person but man, it gets hard to concentrate on the point he's trying to get across when half the things he says is unnecessary.
Great prof, tough class. Mandatory to go, if you don't, his slides are very hard to understand. Exams are all written and a little difficult, make sure you know the material inside and out for each exam. He's super approachable though and will help you if you need it! Not impossible to do well, but you definetly need to put effort in to do so.
I know he's tenured but at this point, please retire. Incredibly dry lectures, barely speaks and mumbles his words so no one knows what he's saying, can't finish one proper grammatical sentence without going off on 12 tangents, purposefully makes tricky exams because - and he's very vocal about this - he wants to lower the kin average. terrible.
Tim is very open about his intentions to lower the average, what was tested were not things he told us to focus on. Tells the class to self-reflect and work harder when there is a clear common denominator as a result of the 50 percent average on the midterm.
He tells you things that are going to be on the tests but then they aren't on them. He mumbles in class and goes very fast. Gave us a lecture on how bad of students we were when our class average was 51% :)
Talks way too fast and mumbles, slides are all diagrams and he tests the stuff he talks about in class. Barely any multiple choice. Sees class struggling but does not do anything to help. Unclear about what is testable. Hard course as well
Goes insanely fast and mumbles when he speaks. Theres no text on his slides which makes it more difficult to catch what is important and what is not. He claims that the exams are 'fair', yet he made it clear that he wants to lower the average.
tim is very passionate about what he is teaching. It is a hard course, and he does go fast, but if you stay on top of readings and ask questions in labs in helps.
Honestly, its just a really hard class. Make sure that you start making study materials from the very first lecture because if you dont keep up, youre done for. Lectures only feature pictures from the textbook, making it very hard to understand what we need to actually know. He basically expects you to know everything he mentions.
The course itself is very interesting but the way that Tim teaches this course makes it insanely confusing and difficult. He makes his lectures solely images from the textbook and not even the textbook he makes you buy. We are also expected to know everything he ever says. Love the concept of the course don't like the way it was taught.
Tim is cool dude, don't get me wrong. He's very passionate but he also expects you to be at the same level as him as a first-year kin student. It's borderline cruel to memorize this much content in such a short period of time. He emphasizes completely different content than he tests. The only way to pass is to dedicate your life to the course.
Tim is a funny guy, and human anatomy is a very interesting course. But he made things extremely difficult, barely taught anything. His lectures only consisted of images from the textbook and is very sneaky about testing you. Tells you one thing is important and tests another. Basically expects you to memorize the entire Clinical Anatomy textbook.
Timmy seems quite passionate about anatomy, however, his lecturers would say otherwise. He mumbles and talks at an extremely fast pace, making his lectures inaudible. Essentially, in order to barely pass this class, he tells us to memorize the entire textbook. He isnt clear about what will be tested either (we have 3 tests that makeup our grade).
Doesn't put in the effort or seem to care, midterms are difficult and content-heavy, lectures are hard to understand because he mumbles everything and doesn't make anything clear.
He's the worst prof I've ever come across. He doesn't care about his students doing well, doesn't do anything to help and is way too full of himself. This course would have been so much better had it not been for him. Save your time and never take any of his classes. He made his lectures way too confusing and doesn't know how to teach.
This course was taught poorly, as it went at an extremely fast and unreasonable pace. The intention of this course was to lower the class average.
Thought the first lecture was bad, but it was a whole rollercoaster in later classes. Slides are incredibly vague, just uses pictures and speaks about them in lecture. Tests his microphone prior to lecture, but he doesn't even project into it. This class makes me want to throw up. Midterm average was barely a 50% and final will probs be the same.
course pretty much fully async besides the 2 midterms (25% each) and a 50% final with option to drop a midterm for a heavier final. lectures are previous yearzoom classes and are the hardest thing to endure because he's quiet and 1.25 speed sometimes too fast when he gets excited. Course content is interesting except his delivery of it is the worst
It is obvious to the majority of the class that Tim has an extreme lack of regard for the success of his students. He has explicitly stated that he believes the kin average is too high and continues to do lectures with slides with ONLY pictures of diagrams. Moreover,he is very unclear as to what will be tested. As such, he evidently exhibits apathy
He does not teach, just mumbles stuff that is never on his slides. He does not clearly tell you how to study or what will be tested. He has no interest in helping the students succeed and will not curve the grades even if half the class is failing. He does not give example questions or tests and expects first year students to be at the his level.
I wish there were more accurate reviews about him and the way he teaches before this semester so I could have avoided his class. His slides were basically of no use filled with pictures that weren't explained clearly. Your grade is based on 2 midterms and a final which can be very tough to do good in cuz again he doesn't know how to teach.
Tim Inglis is a funny guy and clearly knows anatomy very well but the problem is he expects us to know it to the degree he does. Were first years and not PhDs. He mumbles and reads off the slides so half the time we dont know what hes talking about. Class average is 50. He mentioned he wanted to lower the avg. 10/10 would not recommend
Would not recommend this prof at all! He is a bad teacher and his slides are useless and he does not explain any of the content. You can't hear him and he does nothing to help the students. Half the class is failing and he does nothing to make the course easier. The course is stressful and content heavy and everyone in the class is unhappy.
Tim is a good person but a horrible prof. He expects you to know everything. Labs are useless and so are his slides. He mumbles and says the exams are fair. Theyre not. His dog is cute though.
This professor might be responsible for his students breakdowns. Saw my kin friends suffer. Half the class was failing to the point that they were laughing in misery. Was a scary sight. Don't recommend this course. Stay safe, god bless.
Worst course I have ever taken in 2 Bachelor's degrees and one diploma. This professor needs to retire or the School of Kinesiology needs to intervene. Has absolutely ZERO regard for students. You can tell he's so full of himself and thinks he's great but everyone despises him.
slides are just obscure photos and poorly-copy/pasted diagrams that make absolutely no sense to anyone other than the self-centered, narcisstic guy with a PhD. the point of a Bachelor's is to learn material, not to be expected to be a PhD in it. TERRIBLE teacher/prof and doesn't even make up for it by being a good guy because he's not
more than half the class is failing but he won't do anything about it. he copy-pastes pictures from the textbook and asks us to recite them in the exams. slides are just pictures and he just reads it out. no explanations, does not really entertain questions. the answers he does give are vague and useless. save yourself from kin110 please.
Tim's a nice guy, has a cute dog and is mediocrely funny. This is a VERY hard class and having an instructor like Tim did not help. His slides are copy and pasted diagrams. Class average is going to sit under 55 unless by a grace of god he curves us all up. Tim mumbles and talks quite fast. Expects us to be PHD level in year 1. Rethinking my degree
I think Tim is a good person. However, having him as a prof for an already difficult course was just awful. He doesnt teach, but just mumbles about the lecture topics from his slides which only contain pictures. When the class was obviously struggling, he did absolutely nothing and continued with his ways. Save yourself the stress.
I truly cant believe that the School of Kinesiology has no regard for the amount of complaints students have had for this prof this semester. Does not foster an environment where students feel that they can succeed. 100% of the course is based off of exams and no textbook to gain a deeper understanding of the material. Very disappointed in UBC.
Tim as a person seems like a great guy, although as a prof he does not care about his students. He expects us as first years to learn the ins and outs of the whole human body and lectures us with copy and pasted diagrams from the textbook. He talks all over the place and half the time I have no idea what he's talking about.
Tim is good at answering questions in labs, but for a course that's very lecture and textbook heavy, his lectures are dry, quiet, and difficult to follow. The textbook used also has some inconsistency's with his lectures. He drops "hints" as to what he'll be testing, which makes it difficult to study since the course itself is very content heavy.
you can tell tim is very passionate about his work. it is legit so hard to understand him in his vids because he mumbles SO much. no textbook so you have to really understand the vids. powerpoint slides are honestly not very useful - be sure to read the readings to get a better understanding of course material.
Tim is a great person. He is not a great prof. During every lecture he would mumble the most important parts, use diagrams from textbooks that werent mandatory, and on a lot of important parts would tell us to go to moore which was our mandatory textbook. It was a very disappointing first semester being horribly taughtjust to lower the average.
Tim is a great person but doesn't seem to understand that it's a 1st year course. He is unclear on what is testable/main points to study. He talks too fast, mumbles and there's no recording of lectures. For the final, focus mainly on tables in textbook for muscles, and some time on boxed terms in slides. Workbook is good for studying for lab exam.
Horrible prof. Mumbles through lectures, tells us we can record lectures but nothing he says is legible, 0 clarity on what is being tested, vague answers when you ask him questions, slides are just pictures. You need to literally memorize moore textbook to get a good mark. Yelled at class for low avg when there is a clear common denominator.
Here's the truth about KIN 110: it's an anatomy course that examines almost all the muscles and bones in the body. Yeah, you have to study and memorize 200+ terms. But tell me, how is any of this Tim's fault? This is rate my prof, not rate my course. Make a list of every term and memorize them. Don't expect him to hand you the exam on a platter.
Never take a class with Tim. Mumbles in his recordings (recycled from last year) and goes off on unnecessary tangents. Whole course was based on exams, which were marked the hardest and pickiest I've ever seen.
AMAZING teacher. I don't know how to describe it, but Tim was inspirational for me. HORRIBLE method of collecting marks though. The entire course was based on a midterm, a practical exam, and a final exam. How stressful it was! Really glad I took his class, but also really glad I didn't have a full course load.
This is an anatomy course. It is content heavy and you have to be ready to memorize countless terms. Many students have given Tim a poor review as they were not ready for such a workload. However, Tim is a great prof. Yes he mumbles a bit but his exams seemed quite fair. If you dont understand something, reach out to him- he is willing to help.
KIN 313 was interesting but Tim made you work for a good mark. His lectures are REALLY long and condensed and sometimes its hard to understand because he mumbles quite a bit. The tests were not marked fairly. They take off marks for the littlest things that shouldnt matter (for example they won't let you use synonyms)
Tims slides had nothing but a picture, and he never went over something more than once. Never skip class unless you want to be 5 chapters behind. He expects everyone to memorize the entire textbook as his exams were not about the material he lectured on. His tests were unnecessarily hard since he purposely chose questions he knew we wouldnt know
Horrible to say the least. The only people who are rating good are only happy because Tim was forced to give us a 14% curve.
His Kin110 course is a shock as a first year course, the class average was 54% before we got curved +14%. You need to know the content inside and out to do well. His lectures are content heavy and its hard to take down notes quick enough. The course grade is three tests, and the final is worth 50%. He's a chill guy, but the class is TOUGH.
Honestly the most stressful class I have ever taken, I spent days studying for this class and it took time away from so many other classes. He puts photos on the slides with no text and expects us to know what it is. Very unorganized teaching and heavy weighing on the midterm and final. He has no regard for the mental health of students
Tim Inglis is not as bad as everyone here says he is. He teaches anatomy, how else is he supposed to test us on the material? It is pretty unfair to make your mark based only on 3 exams, but he's a nice guy. Watch out for the practical exam tho, it was terrible. You have to study A LOT for this course or else you'll regret it.
laughs at students exams after they hand it in - in front of everyone, disorganized and inaudible lecture, condescending and stuck-up prof. After retaking w/another prof, I am surprised by the diff in organization, content delivery, and charisma. Kin 110 is tough, but tim's delivery of the course made it so much harder than it actually was.
dont take this class if you enjoy being happy
worst professor i have had in my three years in KIN. he sucks at teaching and nothing coming out of his mouth is even somewhat interesting. regret taking this with him and will make sure to never see his face again for the rest of my life
He sets up the course for failure when students are paying for it and acts as if it is reasonable.
One of the worst professors I have encountered in the department of Kinesiology. Rambles way too much and his lecture slides are meaningless pictures. His exams are hardly related to the lecture slides and is an extremely tough grader. Please, if you value your mental health do not take his class
No objectives, no textbook, slides are confusing. Slides=outdated figures and info on the slides consists mostly of messy pieces of information with no background to general concepts. Tests=no multiple choice, space for "short answer" is small when you are expected to give lots of detail. Anything from slides and readings can be tested on the exams
Absolute worst professor I've ever had in my life. NO ONE UNDERSTANDS ANYTHING THAT COMES OUT OF HIS MOUTH. I am currently writing this while sitting with my fellow KIN students. WE ARE ALL WEEPING. We are reading Tim's bad reviews on here as a fable attempt to reduce our crippling anxiety that is a result of this class.
please if you can avoid this class :) - unorganized and unclear notes - mumbles a lot/hard to understand - MIDTERMS ARE SUPER HARD + TA GRADE VERY HARSHLY (average for the first midterm was 61%)
The review from December 7th was definitely written by Tim Inglis. Very stuck up and shows no empathy for students. I enjoyed learning about these topics but the lack of support in terms of no textbook and extra resources sets up students for failure. He is obsessed with making marks low in the class instead of supporting learning.
Overall, he's okay. His lectures are extremely content-heavy, and it's hard to learn anything, but he's really accessible in the lab and always willing to answer questions. He is very vague about what is going to be on the exams, which makes them challenging to study for. As long as you're willing to put in a lot of work, you'll do okay.
Lectures are very long and content-heavy, slides are difficult to understand. His evaluation weighting is ridiculous and his exams are extremely difficult with an extremely low median for a course like this. He gave some discouraging words about our future careers based on our midterm marks after comparing it to averages from other schools.
Lectures are disorganized, exams ridiculously hard. Average is 59%. He discouraged his students future professions after one midterm, and compared us to other schools. The amount of work you have to put in to pass due to lack of support is unreal. My mental health suffered badly through this class despite being very passionate about the subject.
2 midterms and 1 accumulative final. thats it, lecture wise its terrible. get ready to rely on the TA because you are going to be confused by him during lecture. His slides are extremely unorganized. Sometimes don't even grammatically make sense which confuse you even more
the course is disorganized, and heavy. very discouraging tbh.. lost all the motivation cuz this course... only three big exams to determine your final average.. bruhhh
This class was degrading.
He needs to organize. He is a good guy but no.
Hardest class I've taken, Tim's lecture slides are essentially just screenshots of the textbook. His lectures can be pretty fast but are understandable if you review the lecture slides ahead of class. He is unbelievably vague about what will be tested and he can ask some unexpected questions. Study hard and use lab time if you want to do well.
What else can you expect from anatomy course? It is what it is, keep pushing
I just used kenhub and thats it. His exams are fair honestly if you have studied, to whoever reading this, dont let these negative comments disappoints you
I dont have any negative comments towards Tim, he actually helped alot. I just want to know why do we have to study so much information in 3 months and be tested for only 2 tests. Why cant it have an approach like kin 132 exams with multiple exams focused on different topics not being cumulative
I loved Tim. He is funny and very reasonable with his tests. Unlike other kinesiology profs from other universities, he makes sure that you still know your stuff when you go to physio and that you don't learn just for the sake of passing exams. I will make sure that I have Tim for all my upper-year classes! - burner123
Read the textbook, it is the most crucial thing in this class, and everything you need to know is in it. Kenhub is helpful for the lab exam, but a bit expensive. Youtube videos like Sam Webster's are useful too. You have to grind to do well in this course. Know your muscles, innervations, and most importantly - their function.
Tim's a great professor. Upon taking 313 with him, I was quite worried about doing well in this course because of the bad reviews. As long as you attend every class or have friends in class, this can improve your mark. He may be a tough marker, but you do have the opportunity to flip your grade entirely depending on your effort. Use your resources.
Completely disagree with ppl saying he mumbles/ has disorganized slides. I loved his slides, they were very organized and clear when they were 'review' (duplicate) slides. He followed the syllabus schedule. The thing I do agree with was that he was a VERY tough marker, hardest thing about this class was figuring out how the TA's were going to mark.
Worst prof I've ever had. The lectures were very boring and wouldn't explain the terms properly. Would skip over slides fast and use terms that no one would know. Slides were also useless, just screenshots of the textbook. This class was very degrading and awful.
313 is difficult but not impossible. Tim's marking criteria typically expects more than he asks for so prepare to regurgitate all that he said in lecture about the topic. If you're good with detailed memorization, you're set. He often didn't make his points explicit so it's important to reflect on the material and reword it while learning details.
Tim barely moves his mouth when he speaks. Mumbles a lot. Instructions incredibly vague. It's just pure memorization and chaos
It's really degrading to me as a broke university student to be paying for a professor that comes to class and says "I'm here for research and by the end of this class you'll know I'm here for research"
Professor Inglis is very kind and helpful. People that are bombing his RMP just did poorly in his classes. Attend the TA hours if you're confused (the TA's and Inglis are extremely patient). You will have to work hard in his class to do well... something that is uncommon in most other kin courses.
More than one third of the class failed the exam and he literally said, "some of the students can get above 100% why for those who failed cannot?" Then tried to blame covid for making us more stupid instead of realizing how terrible his teaching has been. Google "bad professor" then you'll find the description of tim.
Had him for 2 consective semesters(heh) I think he cares about our feedback because he's been so warm this semester, approachable, gets back to emails right away and you can talk to him about anything, don't be scared of past reviews. Round up to 5 bc i love dr inglis, would be 4.5 bc of lab handouts, relate slides to the bones instead
KIN 110 was definitely the hardest class I've taken so far. You have to put in a lot of work and effort. Tim did not make it easy, he thinks everyone already knows everything about anatomy, he mumbles a lot and his slides don't help. But he is extremely smart and he will help you if you ask.
While he is a very nice person, he is very difficult to listen to while lecturing and does not always share relevant information during lectures.
Easily the hardest kin course you will ever take at UBC. Though he is a tough tester, the class is not as impossible as people say. If you read the textbook you will do fine. I failed the midterm and still managed to get a B. He also curves this class by 10+ %. Good luck with him.
His lectures were very hard to follow. He mumbles when he talks, so sit near the front of the class. Not very clear on what you need to know for tests. You will have to study a lot for this class.
Absolute worst kin prof ever, mumbles when he speaks and doesn't have any sort of structure in his lectures. Get ready to prioritize kin 110 and forget about everything else with dr.inglis. He is nice but bro has no sense of teaching. And he keeps telling us he's only here for research like okay buddy. Go into the lab then. good luck
The content in the class is why it is considered the most brutal class in Kin, however, that's not really Timmy's fault. there's no way to dumb it down or make it simple really. for the midterm, lab exam, and final, spend a quite of bit of time understanding muscle function and innervation, however don't skip out on smaller things like ligaments.
Tough grader, doesn't communicate what can and cannot be tested, good luck trying to record his lectures because he mumbles to the point you can't decipher what he's saying unless you're sitting up at the front. Main complaint is that he'll say something isn't testable and then test you on it.
tim is a nice guy, not as mean as i expected from past reviews mumbles a lot, hard to hear even if you record your lectures speaks so fast sometimes cant hear anything really knowledgeable just poor at teaching in an effective way most times basically all taught on your own and you should really keep up with the textbook its not procrastinatable
Never take this course again.
Honestly, for those who are seeing this for Kin 110 in the future, the start and the term may seem really bad and you may be overwhelmed after the midterm, but trust in the process, work hard and the final exam and lab exam is straight forward. DO NOT PROCRATINATE. and tip for the final. Make sure you know all the innervations lol
Tim was a really funny prof and knows his stuff. The difficulty of this course comes from the amount of content you need to know. In order to succeed, you have to go to class since the lecture slides are practically all diagrams and stay on top of studying. He does mumble a bit while speaking but I really enjoyed the class.
Great prof.
Tim Inglis is incredibly engaging, and kind. He always plays music before class, and finds an entertaining way to teach the class by using models, memes, and jokes. I love this class because of how interesting anatomy is. I would absolutely take this class again.
KIN110 is a tough course but Tim teaches it well. If you put in the effort to actually learn the material and ask for help it isn't hard to succeed. Tim is a very approachable and friendly guy so don't be afraid to ask for help when needed.
Tim was easily my favourite professor of the year, and I feel like I can speak for a lot of other students in the class. He made the class enjoyable to learn, and a lot of the content was really interesting. He gave us everything we needed to know in the lectures, however there is a lot of content and it will take up a lot of time to learn.
None of his slides had words at all, didn't have a recorded lecture, so if you missed a class due to illness and didn't have a friend or you simply don't pay attention in class, you're cooked. I was cooked in this class not gonna lie, but hopefully you can do better than me. Everybody says he's a bad prof, but he's tenure so he cant get fired.
Fix your mic
KIN110 is a challenging course, but Professor Inglis makes it engaging. Go to class, use the textbook, and try unstuck AI for study prep - it really helps. Overall, a worthwhile experience.
I had Inglis for 110, and in my opinion see a huge difference in his lectures in 313. He's much more passionate in 313 and it shows. BUT GO TO CLASS! If you take notes on what he says, and make sure you understand/study hard, this class is awesome. I found it super interesting, but his slides are useless if you don't hear his dialogue/explanations
Tim's a good prof overall, but his lectures can get a little confusing at times and his mic sometimes stopped working. Definitely go to the labs even though they're not mandatory attendance, it helps a lot with studying for the exams. Tim and the ta's are both very nice and approachable, just gotta grind a lot outside of class to prepare for exams.
Nice prof, was very clear on what was needed to be known. Slides were a bit overwhelming but it is a very heavy course.
You're gonna be overwhelmed at first with the amount of content, but if you learn how to prioritize what to learn and figure out how to study it's actually not that bad. My advice --- find an upper year who's taken the course and they can give you specific tips for this course.
People say they don't like Tim but it's generally because he teaches some of the most difficult KIN courses. For both KIN 110 and 313, he clearly directs you to what you should understand for testable material and is one of the most knowledgeable profs in the field so he can answer any question and wants you to do good if you show up to labs
The content is not necessarily hard, but there is so much to memorize. Everything you will be tested on is on the slides, but reading the textbook is essential as many questions are only right if taken word for word from it. Ask Tim questions during lab time and after class, as he will often explain which material he will test on.
Content is actually interesting but the way it's taught is terrible. You'd think the professor is going to put information on the slide right? Well you thought wrong. It's just images.
bro needs to format better
Basically paying hundreds of $ to teach yourself since the mic never works&just puts pics from the textbook as his 'slideshow'. Woulda been nice if slides were clear since the class is already hard. Also doesnt release your current grade before the final & says it is 'UBC policy' but it is NOT, making studying for the final so much more stressful.
Tim is the absolute worst professor I've ever had in my 3 years of university. His lectures are hard to hear and to follow. Your grade is determined by 3 major exams, 2 if you forego the midterm. There is no clarity on what you'll be tested on, and he expects you to (almost) have the entire body memorized for each exam.
this class is super hard and requires a lot of memorization, you must stay on top of things or else it is very easy to fall behind in material. lectures are boring and hard to understand, lecture slides are unclear. make sure to stay organized in this class, attend labs and use clinical/complete anatomy.
His classes are fun and material is interesting however it seems that the way the tests were graded were very harsh. I generally am an A to A+ student and this is the only kin course I have taken where I had gotten less than an A. Cool class however, not a GPA booster by any means.
The class requires a lot of time. Use Moore's table to study, he is particular about what he tests. For the midterm, the only attachments you for sure need to know are the suboccipital triangles; otherwise, the rest is just straight upper limb innervations and function. The lab exam has no ligaments for my group. The final was pretty easy.
This class is VERY content heavy. Sit in the front or you wont be able hear him. Never skip the labs. The tests are awful. There's only 3 (2 if you opt out of the midterm). Use the textbook as much as you can. He's very smart, just not a great prof.Tim teaches w/ regional anatomy not systemic (systemic is easier - take it over the summer w/ Corbo)
The tables in Moore's are the holy grail for all the things you need to know for muscles. Do not skip labs since they're the best way to prepare for the lab exam. There's only 3 assessments with the midterm being optional. Take notes on the slides since that's the only way they'll become useful.
tough class make sure you study early
Without a doubt worst professor I have ever had, every review over 1 star on here was written by Tim. He does not teach anything he will talk over screenshots of the textbook(simply just telling you whats what without trying to teach it), no notes, no recordings, no office hours. puts absolutely zero effort into this and is not forgiving in any way
You can see hes more passionate about 313 which makes it a whole lot better. Class is super cool and probs my fav ive taken in my undergrad. Its a neuro course so ofc its content heavy, 2 midterms and a final but his exams are fair. Make sure you know how to properly study before you take this course.
Got a decent sense of humour and his dog is really cute, but as a professor he is not the best. The tests are awful. I would recommend making your own flashcards (cover muscle attachments, innervations and functions, bony landmarks, muscle groups e.t.c.). It's a lot of work, probably at least 1-2 hours a day if you want to do well.
This man is the reason why i regret going into kin
terrible prof who just uses pictures of the textbook as his “slides”, exams are absolutely awful, don't get fooled by his friendly nature or his cute dog, as a prof he does not know how to teach and you will definitely crash out taking this course.
He likes to mumble and whisper for some reason, and uses a microphone that is constantly dead so you can't hear him even at the front few rows. I know this course is memorization heavy, so blaming him for a bad grade is not fair but I wish he could have provided some tips on how to memorize things, and clearly state which structures are important.
Tim is a nice person but his lectures can be difficult to follow because he can be hard to hear and his lecture slides are mostly pictures from the textbook. This course is very content heavy and to succeed you need to start studying very early and go to labs. The tables in Moore's and are one of the best ways to study!
Inglis is a good guy, very friendly and knowledgable but he's not a good prof. He mumbles, slides are all images, and I had a hard time getting valuable notes from his lectures. My biggest tip is practice active recall often, use Moore's textbook and talk to the TA's. You'll probably crash out at some point, but you can do it!
This was mad hard, if you want to do well you have to review daily.
Yes, 110 will give you a reality check, but as he said in the beginning, it's not hard, it's heavy. I won't lie, it's hard to hear him and the slides are all pictures. The exams are fair (you either know or don't know it - he will never trick you), active recall everything daily and you'll be fine. He's very helpful in labs if you simply ask.
Putting the difficulty of the course aside, Tim is a really nice prof. The tables in Moore are your best friend. Exam wording is crystal clear.
