Overall, a good professor and a very nice guy. He sometimes goes too fast during lecture but he is always willing to help and answer questions. There are study guides available for each chapter that are reflective of the tests, so as long as you study off of them you should be good. He also offers lots of extra credit throughout the semester.

Honestly, Dr. Foster is an awesome professor. He listens to student feedback, and while yes some people think he's difficult you have to match him on his effort. Go into office hours to review the anatomy models. He's always available through email. He's more than willing to help you understand the material and a lot of extra credit is offered!!

Great professor. Super nice guy, always willing to help you out. Very enthusiastic about the material! Each lab exam he offered 8 EC points, EC offered on each quiz. Lots of opportunities to boost one's grade! You have to put a lot of effort in but that's because there's a lot of memorization required. Very approachable!

AMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZING professor with a great attitude so helpful so helpful. definitely recommend. Do your work study hard and you'll get the A.

Very approachable and kind. He's goofy and a little unorganized but he means well and it was his first semester at CSUS lecturing. The class is tough in itself but I don't think it has anything to do with him.

This professor is AWESOME! The study guides that he provides after each PPT is very helpful when it comes to exams, online homework are easy because the answers are straight from the book, exams and quizzes are easy and straight to the point as long as you put in time to study.I definitely recommend taking him!

Awesome professor! Very funny and kind makes the material fun to learn. Put in the work and you will get the grade you want! He's really supportive, the material is difficult in general but he makes it easy to understand.

Never taken an anatomy class before. Really didn't know what to expect but Professor Foster was a great teacher. He seemed like he cares a lot about his students and he gives extra credit which is great for someone like me who struggled. Would recommend taking him for anatomy

Sweet guy that cares about his students. You do have to study a lot and work hard but I feel like he tries to help us out by giving extra credit, dropping two hw assignments and two quiz grades, and I felt the tests were doable as long as you studied a lot. He wants his students to do well, not the best at teaching but he's still reasonable

Really great professor! This class is very challenging and you have to put the work in to get the grade you want. To the people who wrote bad reviews, you can't expect to be successful if you don't put any hard work in. Professor Foster is willing to help all students and to clarify any cloudy areas, and genuinely wants his students to succeed.

Professor Foster is a nice professor. He is very knowledgeable about this subject, he tries to explain the materials to the best of his ability. He is always in his office hours and is willing to help or answer any questions that you might have. Although beware of his monotone voice during lecture, it may put you to sleep other than that he is ok.

Super nice person, always willing to help you. I took Bio 430 at CRC with him; he was always available to answer questions. He helps you to boost your grade if you are in a border of b or a to an A. Bio is hard and tough so study a lot. There is nothing easy just study before u come to class, the lecture slides are very helpful. Easy A.

Dr. Foster is easily the nicest & organized bio professor I've had. He's always available to answer questions. He explains things differently if you didn't understand it the first time and uses relatable examples to help you understand the concept. Tests are off the study guides he gives you. Keep up with the material tho because it is anatomy.

Don't expect to pass this class w/o doing any work for it. This class is definitely self taught but Foster is very sweet & willing to help. EC just for showing up, drops 2 lowest HW & quiz scores. Lectures may get boring but the slides are posted online. Lecture exams are based off the slides, rarely used the book, and lab exams are memorization.

This professor is amazing! He has a good attitude and helps a lot. He takes time to explain lab materials. The study guide are very helpful during exams. I recommend him.

Professor Foster is a great professor! He really cares about his students and is really helpful in lab if you ask him questions. Pro tip: Take him again for Bio 26 Lab if you can!! The other Bio 26 lab professors are no help!

He might not be very organized w/ lectures but he know his stuff. I would recommend take him. Overall for lecture, 4 exams, online homework, and extra credit. Over all for lab, lots of memorizing , same 4 exams, lab quizzes, extra credit usually in exam. Overall, it is a hard class but if you are ready to study, you can get A. - MUST DO STUDY-GUIDE

This guy is an amazing professor, gives you a study guide, and as long as you do the study your basically get an A in the class. I want him to teach BIO 26

Professor Foster is a great professor. Hands down, very knowledgeable tells you what you need to know especially if you ask him or reach out for help. The problem I have noticed is that a lot of students expect this class to be easy and for a professor to just hand them an A. You 100% get the grade you work for.

The class was hard, but foster is a caring professor and he will explain things well if you ask him about it. You definitely get the grade you deserve because YOU have to work for it. The people who are rating him down are the ones who do minimal work & expect an A+, but thats not the case especially in a hard science course like this.

I had Foster for BIO26 lab. He is very knowledgeable but hard to understand. Sometimes my classmates and I would ask for clarifications and he would answer with a different topic. If you're an independent person, Foster will work out for you. You just have to put in effort and time to study. Attendance is extra credit point :)

Students rating this Professor down seem more so upset they didnt get the grade they wanted. Lets be real Foster puts forward his best effort. Half of our exams were curved a LOT w/ EC. He sets it up so we have a higher grade. He elaborates on every photo & slide, take notes while he talks. Nursing students, study! thats all! Great guy, truly.

really nice guy, I think he was very reasonable with us I had him for lab and all the exams were straight from the lab manual no surprise or trick questions, just study he can't work miracles and give you the knowledge, so just don't be lazy and study and show up to class because its participation points that are EC :) he tries to help your grade

Will is a phenomenal professor. Very knowledgeable and does a superb job at teaching. He is very caring and overall an awesome guy to just have a normal conversation with. He even wrote me a recommendation letter. Offers extra credit(assignments and attendance) and study guides. Very fair class. Put in the work and youll get the grade you deserve.

Foster is one of the best profs I have ever had! Yes, his lectures are a bit hard to listen to at 7AM in the morning. However, he's extremely supportive if you put in the effort. He's also kinda funny! Having him for lab was the best. His exams are a bit hard (as are any exams for A&P!). Just study the PPT slides & fully do the study guide for an A

Dr. Foster was an amazing professor. He is very kind and knowledgeable about the subject. For both lecture and lab, there are four unit exams which are usually curved . There are 20 lab quizzes, the two lowest are dropped at the end of the semester. He provides extra credit points in each quiz. Relatively easy class if you have taken anatomy before

Professor Foster provides PowerPoints for every lecture which is exactly what is seen on the exams. He goes over every piece of information, and also gives study guides for each chapter. You will need to put in extra time to study, but Professor Foster provides you with all the tools you will need. TAKE FOSTER!!

Had foster for 25 over summer and 26 for lab. Such a nice person! Overall he's a solid choice, he wants students to pass! Lectures are a bit dry but he will clarify anything if you ask questions. Gives plenty of extra credit, even for attendance. This is a class you have to study ON YOUR OWN if you want to do well due to the nature of A&P.

Foster is one of the best teachers I've ever had. People complain about getting a grade other than an A in this class but it's not only the teacher's responsibility but also the student. There's only so much a teacher can do; students must take it upon themselves to teach themselves the material too. A&P is pretty hard & a lot of memorizing

Oh my god, I cant say anything about this professor but the best! Hes never in a bad mood always smiling hes there to help every single student out. His exams are a piece of cake. Definitely record his lectures print out his PowerPoints and write notes on them study them each day. Hes the best. Gives out a lot of extra credit and curveshisexams

Hes the man.

BIO 25 with Foster is not that bad. Lecture slides are pretty straightforward, yet sometimes he can get a bit confusing. Despite that, he is REALLY good at answering questions when you ask him one-on-one, especially in office hours and in lab. It's on you to study yourself for the high grade since it's A&P, but he's good at clarification.

It's hard to stay awake during his lectures because his voice is super monotone however, powerpoint slides are clear. He gives extra credit for participation and drops 2 lowest lab quiz. You have to study a loooot by yourself, gives us a week to memorize 40-70 anatomy terms, location and function. Difficult but put in the work and you'll do fine

Bio 25 with Foster was AMAZING! It was a struggle waking up at 8am for lecture but it was worth it. He is very through in his lecture, and tries his best to explain everything to his capabilities, but GO TO HIS OFFICE HOURS IF YOUR ARE CONFUSED ABOUT A CONCEPT!! he will help you understand it by the end!

This is a hard class but he cares very much about your success. He is so patient and will happily explain a concept you're having trouble with. Put the effort in and take the time to talk with him if you are having trouble. It is so nice to have a professor who doesn't make you feel stupid for asking questions. Drops some low quizzes and EC avail.

I had this Professor for both BIO25 and BIO26. He isn't good at explaining, but he gives more than enough resources you need. BIO25, especially BIO26 really is just a tough class, so you will definitely have to study on your own. To pass, come to lec, take notes, read the online textbook(optional), do the hw, and come to lab. Lecs are posted online

I had him for Lab. Class time was spent studying/looking at models. Quizzes after every 2 labs. 1 extra credit question on each quiz and 4 questions on each exam. Exams have a LOT of material and are not multiple choice. Hard but doable. Honestly, if you cant get at least a B in this class you should strongly reconsider Nursing.

This man knows his stuff. By far most intelligent professor Ive ever as a second year. Bio 26 is a hard class by no means will you get an A if you dont put in the work its doable but difficult

He grades fairly tough on the labs but If you answer the question fully and correctly, you'll get full credit. Be prepared before the lab as he doesn't give a lot of background info before starting. If you do have any questions he is more than happy to give an answer. Funny and goofy dude!

Go to office hours, don't miss class because there is tophat questions. Exams are hard but curved.(at least for my semester). Put in the effort this class is going to be hard no matter which professor you take.

Professor Foster is a great Professor, I feel as though he explained the lab well. Most of the class was group work which wasnt bad. Hes very approachable, I would recommend you take his for 131 lab.

He taught me the UPLB and PLB cycles very well. Even though he was primarily an expert on the SILB cycle, he shared his knowledge of everything LB quite well.

This is one of my favorite classes I have been able to take for physiology, I have had many issues with professors in the past not clearly explain concepts to the class. However, Professor Foster has amazing lecture slides that include everything you need to know for the exams. He gives plenty of resources and even is available to answer questions.

Idk why his ratings are so low. He's literally the best prof you can get for bio 25. He give soooo many extra credit points and also curve the exams. I literally can't think of a reason why someone would fail this class even if you barely do the minimum. He's also gonna answer every questions you have too if you ask. Highly recommended.

overall he is a good professor, id recommend to review every single slide before the test and do not rely on the study sheet. His flaw is that he talks about one subject for to long that he doesnt have time to talk about the the rest which are also super important, so u end up having to learn it yourself. DO the extra credit

Kind and caring, wants students to pass and even gave EC + curved some exams. Only flaw, he was not always clear on expectations for tests and quizzes and that could be frustrating. Just study everything and you will be ok. It's a fascinating, but hard subject, no prof will change that. Use outside resources and study lots.

Dr. Foster was amazing! I loved going to his labs each week and he was very easy to approach in and outside of the classroom. He will question you during lab on certain things but will guide you through it if you need some help. I highly recommend taking him as your lab instructor!

He had a fun personality, easy grader, and easy to approach. He was a good teacher, but took a while to reply to emails or communicate with the class clearly. Learned a lot from his labs though so definitely don't skip.

Prof. Foster was a good prof. He had a very fun personality and liked to smile a lot. The class is pretty simple too. At the end of the semester, you and your group will present this "Movement Analysis Project" which was pretty easy too. All in all, this was a solid Bio Lab class.

The best Anatomy teacher you can take. Exams are study guide and slides only, always described what exactly will be on the exam, very caring and kind, Labs are enjoyable and supports to learn the anatomy models, extra credit on each exam. Supports, comforts and cares about student's development. I miss him, he's very friendly and easy.

Simplifies lectures. Easy to pass hard material but just watch his lectures and you'll pass.
