The decision
Key questions
Is this an easy A?
An A is possible but usually requires major study time, strong exam scores, reading, lecture attendance, and careful lab work.
Online evidence is too limited but negative, while in-person reviews consistently show that A grades require heavy effort.
Is the course easy?
The material is demanding, fast, memorization-heavy, and often tested through difficult lecture and lab exams.
The one online review reports fast pacing, and in-person reviews repeatedly describe difficult anatomy and biology content.
Is attendance flexible?
Students repeatedly say skipping class hurts performance because lecture notes, labs, and exam content depend on attendance.
In-person evidence strongly supports required attendance for success, while the online review does not provide attendance detail.
Is this professor recommended?
He is recommended by students who want rigorous preparation, but many others warn against him because of grading, exams, and attitude.
The online review is negative, while in-person reviews are deeply split between strong praise and strong avoidance.

Grading
Strict
24/100

Format shift

Workload
Heavy
26/100
The workload is heavy because success requires daily studying, reading, lab preparation, memorization, and exam review.
Format shift
Online evidence mentions lots of homework, while in-person reviews emphasize heavy study demands more than routine assignments.
Teaching experience
Average
58/100
Teaching reviews are split between clear, knowledgeable lectures and complaints about being unhelpful, condescending, or disorganized.

Assessment method
FocusOnExams
88/100
Grades are driven heavily by lecture exams, lab exams, quizzes, and test performance, with some reports and extra credit.
Format shift

Exam style

Assessment risk
Strict
28/100
Low score means less forgiving assessment conditions.
In-person reviews clearly support difficult lecture and lab exams, but do not clearly prove open-book, closed-book, webcam, Lockdown Browser, or proctoring policies.
“We had to take 2 exams(Lab and Lecture) in a day.”
“Tests require A LOT of memorization”
“Lab exams are atrocious.”
The one online review says the class was test heavy and difficult, but reviews do not clearly prove webcam, Lockdown Browser, open-book, or proctoring rules.
