Anat/Phys is a hard class. If you read the material before coming into Mr. Butler's lecture, you shouldn't get lost. If you are confused, he will answer your questions. He does try to help and makes it clear that he is available. He's more helpful than other teachers I've had. I recommend taking him

I think that whoever cannot pass his class is retarded and should change their major. People expect him to learn for them. You have to put some effort and understand the concepts.Also he doesn't make it hard for you to pass. He wants everyone to pass and gives everyone opportunities to bring their grade up.

Wilbert Butler is not a good teacher in my opinion. He has not taught the class anything of relevance to biology and it has been three weeks into the semester. I have to read and teach myself the chapters. Every week we go over "discussion questions" which is about 10-20 questions of info. that'll be on the test but he never answers the questions.

Mr. Butler is a good man but does not teach well. He gave the class four projects to do for the semester with computers and that was it. He sat at his computer and we did very easy high-school level assignments for our "projects" and learned nothing; there were no lectures. Easy A, but not good if you actually need biology for your major.
