This guy indeed knows a lot of info probably b/c of his Phd, but to survive in his A&P class, one has to study really hard as if in medical school. Plus he gives very hard and challenging tests and NO CURVE. You get what you get in tests and quizes.

I went to him on my day off for tutoring he tells me,"Ask me in class I'm not answering it now." Posts all of grades & your name on website;creates peer tension.

Excellent Professor, took this course twice, 1st time with another Proffesor recieved a c+, second time with this Professor I earned a B+. His quizzes were better more quesions, more chances to do good. Rarely did he ever walk in late and he only canceled class about 3 times throughout the semester. Taking A&P?, I highly recommend him.
