He is very good professor, I took him this summer and the fact he takes his time to review before his exams is awesome, His exams are fair, extra credit and he is also very considerate. Would definitely recommend.

If you want to pass, DO NOT take him. You have to be a rocket scientist to pass. His following is horrible. He misses grading some of my assignments and would not give me a grade for them. You email him to ask for feedback. He says, what up!

Dr. Adams wants you to succeed! He will take his time explaining everything with you until you fully understand. Exams are tuff but he goes over everything that will be on exams prior. KNOW THE MATERIAL & STUDY!! The questions on exams will make you think. He offered extra credit. Weekly Review Sheets are manageable but use the extra time to STUDY!

Great guy, awful instructor--tests did NOT match content presented--purchase of optional text (Tortora) ineffective--open notes/book test format did not help as tests covered material not presented ANYWHERE in lecture/notes or accessible (even via internet)

Loved Adams as a person, but his tests were absolutely brutal. The lectures did not match up to the test AT ALL, and even with the tests being open text/open note, you could not get much help there either. Furthermore, he was very difficult to reach by email, even if you emailed multiple times. Would love to have a coffee with him though!

DO NOT TAKE ONLINE!!! Worst decision I ever made. Especially if you have no prior knowledge you will not understand a thing and you will be very lost. Exams are proctored and the videos he send barely helps. His notes help a little. You will literally be teaching yourself the whole time.

Dr. Adam was an amazing professor and he did offer lot of extra credit too. He is good at details on lecture. His tests was pretty hard but you must study harder this class.

His test are extremely hard. I would try to avoid him. However his notes are extremely useful but testing wise is a bit to hard to handle. Hes a great teacher who loves his profession. I feel like he was easier past years, he may have changed up his teaching style to now were its pretty difficult and challenging. Good luck !

His tests were extremely hard and not just because of the class. His questions didn't make any sense and they would have spelling and grammar flaws which made it hard to understand. He didn't use his time very well either

Fair professor. There are NO OPEN NOTE FINALS or TAKE HOME TESTS (so Im not sure why someone said that) He writes needed information on the white board and students copy them into our notebook. Get ready for your hand to hurt, you WILL be writing notes the entire class period. If you dont study youll regret it. Does not give out review sheets.

Professor Adams has been the most helpful and understanding professors that I have ever had. I truly struggled in this class, but he is more than willing to help you and gives you a second chance if needed. There are TAKE HOME TEST(S) and OPEN NOTE FINAL(S)!!!! If you are wanting to learn as well as be put to your limits this is the class for you!!

Had Adams for both A&P 1 and 2. He is a very knowledgable, personable, and fantastic professor! I already have a BS but Adams taught better than any other professor I had. I don't get why people are saying his tests are so hard when they're literally straight from his notes. As long as you study his notes, the tests are easy!

Adams is a true blessing. Im not gonna lie his test are extremely hard. He teaches from papers so use your text book for clarity. Omg he gives so much extra credit, super understanding and really wants you to make it. I wouldnt take him again only because his in class test were so hard. You get 3 take home test and extra credit is negotiable

Hes changed his teaching style, from what i heard his class used to be easy. 2 take home test and 3 in class test, the take home test arent worth as much as the in class test. He let us use a note card on the test, the class still failed. He doesnt teach from a power point he reads from PAPERS. If i knew what i know now i wouldn't have taken him.

Honestly, don't know why Dr. Adams has such good ratings HIS TESTS HARD. Took him over summer, tests: 2 in class, 1 take home, 1 open book(it was the final & hardest one). Also, the lectures are not interesting because they are from his notes and it's easy for your mind to wander. But he is a great person! I loved talking to him!

Dr. Adams is a great person who has a wonderful ability to connect with students which is great for teaching. The only problem is that he can't teach. His lectures are extremely hard to follow as he loses focus often, and then when you get the test you recognize absolutely nothing. Hes an easy grade because he give out 3 test. Will not learn.

Professor Adams is a very caring and funny guy, however, his tests are extremely difficult and tricky and for someone who never fails tests I managed to do that in his class. Getting an A felt nearly impossible even with all the extra credit done

I have mixed feelings about Dr. Adams. Hes very caring, actually the most caring professor Ive ever had! Lectures were interesting I felt like I learned and understood. I studied & felt confident until I saw his exams... very tricky. Labs are like lecture. I could have made an A, but like I said his exam were a challenge for me.

Dr. Adams is a nice and funny professor. He cares about his students for sure. His tests can be quite tricky, however, if you read the notes and your book, you should be okay. A&P is a difficult class so don't expect to make an A without studying. He gives us a few take home tests that do help out our grades and his final is not comprehensive.
