The material is hard and he has to move through it fast but he's developed a multitude of resources that students can use to learn and also to earn bonus points. They're fun and EXTREMELY helpful.

Very entertaining, but if you have taken this class before at another school it can be extremely confusing. He teaches regional not by seperate parts. (as in whole upper half and whole lower half verses bone, muscle, veins..etc.) A ton of writing in lecture and a ton of memorizing for a single exam. Missing a class is not recommeded.

by far the best professor I've ever had. he's funny, kind and really wants the best for you. his class isn't easy but he gives you the resources to succeed. I can't recommend him enough. he provides tons of resources via blackboard and is always replying to his emails. he also gives lots of extra credit. I would 100% take him again.

Dr. J is one of the best Professors I have ever had. He cares about his students doing well. The class is not easy but if you study you can pass. He uses powerpoint recordings and if you attend his lectures he will give you extra credit. He will work with you to help you.

William Johnson is a caring, kind professor who really wants you to succeed. Taking advantage of notes and bonus credit he gives to you is really important. I loved his class a lot

Class is very time consuming between homework and preparing for quizzes/exams but I will say Prof. J truly cares that you learn and offers many ways to get/keep your grade up. extra credit for attending live online classes, some quizzes can be taken until you receive 100. Lots of work but worth it!

Dr. J is the best anatomy professor one could ever ask for. He is kind, funny, easy going, and extremely knowledgable. You have to try hard to fail his classes. I have had him for A&P1 and 2 and both times were equally fantastic.

Dr.J is an amazing professor by far the most funny and caring professor i have had. A and P I is not an easy class but Dr.J does everything possible and will explain the material until you understand. If you go to class and study at least 1-2 hours a day for this course you will pass. He gives many opportunities for extra credit.

Dr. J has been my favorite professor in college ever even though sciences are not my favorite subject. He is funny, responds instantly, and will go over things 1,000 times if you need him to. I commuted 45 minutes twice a week just to attend his class and he always understood whenever I couldn't. Also offered so much extra credit! He is the best (:

Dr. J is a fair & understanding professor that provides enough opportunities to do well in his class. There is a good amount of work in his class, with lecture quizzes followed by an exam and 2 practical exams. With that, he is always available to ask questions and provides ample opportunities for extra credit.

Beware; avoid this professor at all costs. Horrible. I earned a B because I would literally study for 16 hours a week .You will be working with cats in the lab. Mind you, this is the only professor that does this for lab; you will be expected to memorize every muscle, nerve, & so on from several perspectives. Save yourself & avoid this professor.

Every 2 weeks, he would assign nearly 14 different essays to his students to write in preparation for an exam with a randomly selected topic. Everyone was therefore required to write them all in advance since, as he stated, you should copy and paste one of the essays onto the test. Having 30 mins on the exam, two essays, 10 fill-in questions. Foh!

So many papers

If you did bad in Dr. J's course, it's your own fault. The course is tough, but Dr. J is great. Study and ask for help and you will do well!

Dr. J is a very dedicated, caring professor, his grading system is very fair and clear. Every lecture and lab was organized, he would make sure everyone understood the material and was there for any assistance, even beyond school hours. It's important to show up every class and do the work, as this goes a long way with his grading system.
