The class material is VERY interesting. Classes are mostly lecture style. He prints out a copy of the slides for students each week and you can fill in the information from each slide during his lectures. There are many small details, but he gives you everything you need to now for the exam on the lectures slides. Give yourself time to study the lectures slides very well and you'll do great!

This course has a lot of memorization required. I was warned before taking the course, falsely assumed that I would be fine, but ultimately was not. This might be fine to take alone if you are taking no other memorization-heavy classes, but in conjunction with other difficult classes is nearly impossible. You will need to know every very detail dense slide discussed in lectures for the lecture exams and memorize the all bones/ cartilage in cats and sharks (including parts of individual bones) and the muscle groups of cats and sharks. Additionally, if you are squeamish about dissections, do not take this class. This class might be useful if you are pre-vet or pre-med but otherwise I would avoid.

While the topic was super interesting and I really enjoyed learning about a specific branch of human physiology, I do not feel like I was able to learn to retain the information or make sense of it beyond memorization. Although we got to do our own independent research project (a lit review with an annotated bib) and focus on what we were interested in, the class was really geared towards the exam and memorizing clinical information about endocrinology conditions. There were routine readings, exams, and current literature reflection papers. The lectures were word for word off his slides and for the exam you had to memorize word for word off the slide.
