EME106 is probably one of the harder classes I have taken in my college career. However, having Skip as a teacher made the class equally enjoyable as it is challenging. The lectures that he gives are interesting & full of information. As long as you pay attention & are eager to learn, you'll pass the class & NREMT! Participation is key in passing!

Skip was an amazing professor during my EMT 106 Course. His personality and energetic lectures make you feel focused. some days you might have a different instructor as a place taker. on those days specifically make sure to go over the book at home for the chapters. The subs felt less in depth. Lots of information. make it easier on yourself. Read.

Besides offering an academic understanding of each topic, Capt'n Skip incorporates pertinent professional experience into each lecture topic. Capt'n Skip is a skilled coach. He offers a variety of resources, ways that we can retain the information, and keeps it challenging so that we LEARN. I'm a better First Responder for having taken his class.

Even though what we learn in class can be challenging, and there is a lot of reading, Mr. Clark makes everything approachable, easier to understand, and insanely cool. Palomar is very lucky to have him as part of their EME department. I can't wait to have him again in paramedic school.

Skip Clark is an unbelievable professor. He has both the field experience and academic knowledge as a professor to be able to teach EME-106 (EMT) better than I could have hoped. The class is easily passable IF you take it seriously (study and participate). There is a lot of information you need to absorb but nothing outside the realm of possibility

This is a tough class, but for a good reason. You will be expected to study outside of class, but lack no resources in helping you prepare for tests, quizzes, etc. If you apply yourself and pay attention, by the end of the course Mr. Clark makes sure that you are competent and confident in taking your NREMT exam, Final Exam, and practical exam.
