Idk why he doesn't have any ratings, but I took him for A&P 1 Lecture, and it was amazing! Weekly homeworks (super easy), 3 Papers he calls Literature Reviews, and tons of extra credit. Open book final, and he answers emails fast! Participation isn't required, but he offers extra credit in the first few mins of class if youre on time. Great prof!

He's a really good teacher. i took him for A&P 1 and 2 and it was the best decision ever. I had As in all 4, AP 1 and 2 lab and lecture so i have a good opinion i think. He's very cmmunicative and gives good feeback and you'd actually learn a lot from him. Realy nice Professor.

Lectures are very conversational, which makes question asking much easier. He doesn't just read off of the PowerPoint, he actually teaches and applies it to real-world situations. He grades a little hard, but he's one of the best professor's I've ever had.

He makes A&P as easy as it can could possibly be. Do understand that A&P is difficult and needs a lot of effort regardless of teacher. Great teacher, does a group quiz each week, so studying constantly is a must. He will sometimes quiz/test on minute things he's touched on so 100% focus is also mandatory. I 10/10 recommend nonetheless :)

Dr. Zachary Ellsworth is a PHENOMENAL professor! A&P has a ton of information to cover, but his power points and objectives helped me so much this semester. Lab quizzes every class, open lab for extra study time, class goes by quickly, except for bones lab (lol). Dr. Zach is a Great professor and person! Take him if you can, it's so worth it!

Took him for 2251 and both labs; engaging lectures, v passionate abt teaching, takes late work (w/ a penalty). Stayed at Perimeter another semester j to take A&P 2 w/ him. Quizzes & exams reflect lectures & objectives. Only con r the literature reviews (essays about a study you pick) but he gives plenty of time for it. Take him, you'll love him.

Studying for weekly quizzes helps you study for the midterm and final. So generous with extra credit. IDK how anyone can get below an A in that class. A&P is hard, but with him it's an easy A.
