Very tough class, but the kind in which you learn A LOT if you do what is asked of you. Very nice guy despite his teaching reputation. Great for bio majors, not suggested for others.

He is sexy!!

very effective teacher.

He's very knowledgeable about his subject matter. He's very articulate. It's the course that is fast-paced.

he is hard but if you want to do well in your future nursing classes or any other bio class he is the one to take. He prepares you for the future. He does care about his students and just want all to do well. HE IS THE BEST!

Yes he is tough but he is a great teacher. If you really like to work hard and really want to do well in future Nursing Classes he is the one to take. He really isnt that bad. I passed with a C and let me tell you I totally understand the information because of his tough teaching. He is the best! I am doing great in Nursing Classes because of him!!

i Love this guy. He's the ultimate anatomy prof. He really knows his stuff from the inside out. He's a fantastic lecturer,but the exams that he gives is no joke.Memorizing all his handouts won't make you pass his exams...u've got 2 really understand it.I got an 86 final grade on this guy, but i worked hard for it.He's a toughy, but he's good.

he is the best~ Tought but cares. With him you wont go wrong!

Really tough class but he's a great lecturer. Study, study study and pay attention!! I passed with a B+. Don't believe the stories that no one passes his class. Keep that lab grade up!!

This professor will make you work and his exams are based on understanding the material not memorizing.....If you understand the material you will pass....Go to the tutors and you can go to him for help...I did and I passed his tests, when I took him last semester....He has prepared me for nursing classes which I am passing thanks to him

Actually a decent teacher, somewhat interesting lecturer. Very strict and very hard tests though

He is tough and strict, but he knows his stuff! Attend class, don't be late, and do what's expected, and you will not have any problems. He really cares but does not have tolerance for slackers.

Yes he is hard but he wants you to learn..If you want to be challenged and feel like you are in a real college class then take him...He is the best and will prepare you for nursing classes or for a 4 year college..

Dunscombe doesn't deserve his bad rep. Interesting class and tests are easy if you make good chapter summaries (you can use them on the tests!). I loved his class! Would recommend him warmly. Just make sure you're on time and respectful and you'll be glad you took him. He can seem grumpy, but that's just because some students are such slackers.

I reccomend sticking to his notes, nothing else, record lectures.. attend all classes... and study everyday!! He is not the monstor everyone paints him to be. If you really want to know anatomy, take him. He is extremely knowlegdeble. However, if you think you can't handle a hard professor then don't take him! Grumpy in class, but a nice, one -one.

He is the best. He is a professor that teaches his class like a true college professor. If you want to learn take him......he is amazing!!!!!!!!!!

He does have a very intimidating persona which will keep students from asking questions or coming to his office hrs,but if you do he is very polite and pleased to help you.EVERYTHING IN HIS PACKET IS ON THE TEST,despite what others say.He is hard because he is so specific,and speaks in difficult terms...if your english isnt great dont take him

If you want to learn something, take his class. If you are a slacker, reconsider your career path. He has reasonable rules and fair tests. Prepare questions for the beginning of each class. Stick to his notes and LEARN the material. You can't miss class and blow off studying and expect to pass. Don't be afraid, just be a STUDENT.

good teacher, wants everyone to do well, but wants everyone to be indepedent. he's not a babysitter. he presents the info clearly, gives out handouts, and allows you to use notes for the tests. he's a really nice man as long as you do what is expected of you

he is the best...I took him and I passed his class but you have to work hard. I have news for all of you if you are takung nursing he is going to seem easy when you start to take nursing classes..He prepared me and I graduated and am a RN thanks to him. Stop whining and be prepared to work....

Great teacher.. Before i came into the class, I got a lot of bad feedback from his previous students. In my time in this class so far, I have not one complaint yet. He's actually quite funny.

Most of the students in this class want to be nurses, but they whine that he is too hard. You want a 60k job? WORK FOR IT! If not, I don't want to be at your hospital. Prof. D. is a very nice man, very knowledgeable. Work hard, your future career depends on it.

He is an excellent professor who knows how to present material in a clear, concise manner, and he provides helpful handouts. The problem? His tests are EXTREMELY difficult, and you have to STUDY HIS HANDOUTS TO AN ABSOLUTE 'T,' because he often changes one tiny word to confuse you. If you study your butt off, you'll be okay, and you will learn tons

100% committed to students success; one of the best instructors to learn from. follow all his instructions completely and literally for a great learning experience. You will be inspired to learn and proud of whatever grade you might earn.

After reading other ratings, and working with other students, I find it is the POOR students who criticize this professor because they aren't capable of doing what's necessary to pass. If you're a dedicated student, you'll do well & appreciate this professor. If you want an easy "A," get out of the biology and healthcare majors - it gets WORSE!

i dont see what everyones problem is. he doesnt take attendance, gives open book tests, gives you printed notes so you dont have to take any, and seems like a pretty normal guy. even posts highlighted index's from the book so you know which sections to study. his tests are easy, but you can use your book or make chapter summaries. he is not bad

Dunscombe is hard, so if you take his class be prepared, but I really enjoyed his class-yes it's true that he fails about 90% of the class, but if you study the material and do well in you're lab, you can survive. His lectures are very engaging and you can tell that he has a passion for the material but no patience for people who are not interested

He is a hard teacher but he knows his stuff. When he teaches, you can see that he is passionate with what he is doing. His tests come from his handouts so study them, but they're really hard. You really have to understand the material cause even though the tests come from his handouts, it doesn't mean that they are word for word from there. You

Hard? Yes Helpful? Yes....you will thank him at the end

Oh man this class kicked my butt. He grades soley on 4 tests and the final. They're hard. Do not underestimate it for a second. But he was a good lecturer. He gave you the notes and explained it all in class. however use the book or SI if you dont understand something. I got a B

okay okay , this teacher was hard but he teaches qood. he teaches the materials so that you can learn from him. its just his test the are tricky !!!

This class was not impossible by a long shot. All those people down there complaining that they're good students but couldn't pass are either lying, or extremely mistaken about their capabilities. You do not have to be a rocket scientist to take a 35 question test, in which you get to use the book. haha, just read the chapters, and now your ish.

If you are interested in comprehension vs. short term retention,Professor Dunscombe's class is the place to be.His lectures were interesting and sprinked with analogies and humor.He provided us with typed handouts for each module,and drew detailed diagrams.He is intolerant of lateness and rudeness,but approachable if you have questions.

Professor Dunscombe isn't a bad teacher. Even though us students are bombarded with amounts of material, we MUST know it to be successful in our choice of career. Many may hate him, but he teaches us in a way that we'll never forget.

Awesome teacher. Zero tolerance for rudeness, lateness, or excuses.Very detailed explanations and diagrams,typed notes for each module.Focus is on comprehension and critical thinking, not short-term retention.Wish the rest of my professors were as strict regarding cell phones and chit-chat in class. No distractions in Dr. Dunscombes class!

he is a great professor even though most people don't think so. the class is extremely hard, but he is very willing to help all of his students. he has a lot of experience in the field. if you are really interested in anatomy and physiology, he is the best professor to take.

Bill Dunscombe is the best thing that will ever happen to you -- if YOU allow it! Stop complaining and get to work. Laura B.

He is a strict teacher but a good one. The main reason people complain about Professor Dunscombe is because there lazy and don't do there part as students, many people fail his class for that reason.He explains things clearly and in a way you can understand it. He also gives you opportunities to earn extra credit which not many professors do.

Yes he's strict and intimidating, but he's a very good professor. He teaches the material clearly and gives examples that'll help you understand the topic better. If you're looking for an easy A, he is not the prof. for you cause you'd most likely fail. Many fail his class cause they don't study hard enough. Overall, I recommend him as a professor.

Hes really not that bad. Yes hes strict but its not for anything thats unreasonable, its college. He gives u notes for all chapters typed. Attend class, Pay attention and he offers surprise xtra credit points towards tests. Open book tests, just highlight from notes or u can do chap summary. Challenging yes but Ive had worse.

Prof. Dunscombe is not anti health or anti student. He wants you to understand and be able to apply your knowledge not just be able to know facts without any application. He is a very good professor and offers extra credit via SI. His tests are very difficult and you will have to study 25+ hours a week to get a B or higher. Good Luck

Every time I go to a hospital in Union County, I pray that the nurse taking care of me went through Dunscombe's class. If you can't pass his class, don't go into the healthcare profession. The world will appreciate it.

AMAZING professor. People talk bad things about him because they care more about easy A than really learning the material. You will have to study A LOT for his class. He knows his subject and is incredibly smart. He makes you understand everything pretty easy with his examples! I wish he taught BIO 106. GREAT professor for who want to really learn

He is not a bad professor AT ALL. He comes off as cold, but he can be funny at times. You MUST STUDY ON YOUR OWN! Don't expect to get an easy A. If you're a hard working student I recommend him, but if you're looking for an easy A - DON'T BOTHER.

Great professor!! Hard, but very clear with explaining and his handout. Makes class interesting, and his tests are on his handouts.

Prof. is knowledgeable on the material & clearly explains his expectations. Show up, pay attention, study & you will do just fine. You're allowed to use his notes during open book test so as long as you do not fool around you will pass. If you cannot deal with his personality than drop the class, he does not tolerate nonsense. I enjoyed PED!

Prof.Dunscombe is absolutely amazing.His tests do come from his packets, they are all difficult and tricky. BUT if you listen to his lectures, study and love what your learning, you will pass. He is very approachable, respectful, fair and most of all, a professor with great knowledge about this course. Don't believe all the bad comments on here

The best professor I have ever had. I absolutely loved his class because I learned so much. His lectures are great, he gives great examples, the packet of notes he gives you for each test are so helpful. Everything on the exams are from the packets. Bio105 is not an easy course with any professor, you really have to put effort in if you want an A.

Professor Dunscombe gives his students everything they are going to be tested on in his packets and breaks it down beautifully during his lecture. The subject itself is difficult though, so you will need to study to do well in his class. He is very helpful and happy to answer questions during office hours.

People need to remember a&p is a hard subject to begin with. Toughest grader, but explanations are VERY clear, you MUST pay attention and TAKE NOTES. He doesn't take questions in lectures (unless he asks) but he is super nice in his office. He is a hard ass in class but the COMPLETE opposite in his office. PAY ATTENTION AND STUDY OR YOU WILL FAIL

I can not understand why this Professor gets such a bad rep. He is an awesome professor! There is no b.s in his class, his lectures are to the point and gives great analogies. This man knows his stuff! Like any science course, you need to put in the time and effort to earn a good grade. His test are not that bad, you'll pass as long as you STUDY!

Prof. Dunscombe is a really thorough teacher. If you come to every single class (on time!), take notes, pay attention, be respectful, and ask for help/clarification when you need it, you'll do fine.

Disregard the negative commentary on this professor. IF you are willing to put time into learning the material and attend his lectures (crucial) you will learn an abundance of material and do perfectly fine. This course was not intended to be "easy". Being said, his lectures are very thorough, which is absolutely critical in a class of such.

For this professor you get out what you put in! If you don't attend classes, take notes, and ask for help when you need it, how do you expect to pass? This is college people not high school, so there is effort needed on your part. If you're a serious student you will pass.

Anatomy & Physiology is not for the faint-hearted. Neither is the medical field. Dunscombe prepares you for reality. Patients are going to be rude, disrespectful, sarcastic but you must learn to look past that in order to get the message and get the job done. Visit his office hours, he is so much more helpful and nicer! Cares about students.

Absolutely loved taking his class, he basically gives you his notes all you have to do is listen and write the extra little details. Everyone who complains about him being a bad professor just wants to be given a passing grade without putting in the effort. Anatomy isn't meant to be an easy. A.

I took Bio105 and now I am currently taking Bio106 with dunscombe. You HAVE to study and pay attention in his class. He gives you all the notes you need for the exams. If you are not willing to put effort don't Bother taking him. He wants to make sure you know the materials which is how it should be. Not pass the course without knowing material.

He provides everything you need. But be ready to memorize a lot. It's all about doing the 'grunt work'. He provides notes for the class, expects you to just watch and listen to his 'show', using smart analogies to help you understand. The best lecturer I ever had. I passed by taking his notes everywhere, and reading them over and over constantly.

Great professor. Definitely not an easy A but take him if you want to not only pass your class but be able to remember the information and make use of it beyond school. He's tough, sometimes rude and most times intimidating but overall great teacher. He's very accessible during office hours as well.

A no nonsense professor. Tough but extremely fair and worth it. Only goes off of his own notes, textbook needed to reinforce anything not understood. Lectures from first minute to last. In anatomy you have to understand functions of systems more than memorize structures and he teaches this well. If you can maintain a high average skip the final

I took him for Bio105 and I made sure to take him again for Bio106. His explanations are very good, he provides real life examples and diagrams to make learning easier. With a nursing major Bio105 and 106 are some of the subjects you need to really grasp and he makes it easy to understand the concepts. Open book test but studying is a must.

Professor Dunscombe is easily the greatest Bio professor I've ever had. Yes, he's a tough grader, and yes, a lot of people here say he's horrible, but they just didn't put in the work required of them. If you want an easy A, take someone else. If you want to actually LEARN the subject and will study a lot at home, TAKE HIM. You won't regret it.

Dr Dunscombe is an amazing professor with amazing lectures. You have to work hard to succeed. He doesnt want you because just memorize or be familiar with his notes, you will fail if you do that. You have to UNDERSTAND the material, and he makes it easy, you just have to study his notes, record his lecture, study consistently and you will be fine.

GREAT lecturer. You really have to be prepared to take in every word he says, he's straight to the point and explains things really well! But he does speak pretty fast, so I suggest recording. Take really good notes, too! He's also pretty strict but VERY fair. Really understanding and nice if you follow his rules and directions!

Great instructor and helped me understand the material clearly. I will admit, he is a tough professor and you must devote many days of studying for this class. If you are looking to truly expand your knowledge on A&P and are willing to work extremely hard, I suggest taking Professor Dunscombe.

Very knowledgeable and knows his stuff. Gives detailed notes that you can bring into the test; but the tests are still extremely hard and you MUST study those notes. Any question you ask he will go above and beyond to answer. If you slack off or don't show respect in class he will not like you and make that known. Show effort; you will learn a lot.

Gives you notes that are about 10-15 pages each on each system. I'm in med school and the notes still help me out. You're tested on said in depth notes, but the tests are open book, so you can bring the notes. You should make a table of contents for notes for tests. He's amazing, but hard. Most amazing lecturer I've ever had and I learned a lot.

Professor Dunscombe is the ONLY professor I have ever learned from. His powerpoint handouts are brief so be sure to take notes and draw diagrams. I wish I could of taken him for Bio106. His tests are heavy and you will definitely need to study. Not an easy A, but he's worth it.

He's actually very nice & VERY fair. I chose to do BIO 105 and BIO 106 w/ him because he's a great professor. If you want to learn, go to his lectures & listen attentively. He can speak a bit quick so be prepared. He can throw shade but ONLY if you don't respect his rules. It's true, he's not for everyone. Just be prepared, that's all to it.

He lectures really fast, but gives you a copy of his notes to follow. Bottom line: do the work. His tests can be tricky, make sure you do the homework and any extra credit work. If you study until you understand the concepts you are fine. He is very nice and helpful outside of class. He respects students who take class seriously.

Open note tests, MAKE A TABLE OF CONTENTS to navigate them quickly on test day. If you don't put effort in, he won't respect you. If you show up to office hours and ask a lot of questions in class, he outwardly respects you. The best lecturer I've had the pleasure of having in my college career. I only wish I took him for Bio105. BE READY TO STUDY!
