Comment:
Don't take this class for an easy A, it's very possible to get an A but you must be at all classes, and the lecture information is mostly irrelevant in today's society. The lectures are very long and boring. The work is super easy but super time consuming. Very inflexible, his ideals and beliefs haven't changed since the Big Bang.

Comment:
Probably one of the hardest classes you will take. He is very passionate, but demands an extreme amount. He is willing to help you with anything. He has a sense of humor, but is very old fashioned. Don't be caught with junk food without being prepared for a stern talking to. This course will take up copious amounts of time.

There isn't enough space to express what an amazing teacher Dr. Friar is. He is the BEST teacher I have ever had. If you aren't willing to put in the effort there is no point in taking the class. It defiantly demands a lot of work. In the end it is all worth it and you will get so much out of the class. Also go to the extra help periods he provides

Dr. Friar is by far the best professor I've ever had. I strongly recommend his class. He sets up review sessions and is always willing to help. If you are willing to put in the extra work you will do fine.

Is willing to make time to help his students with any questions they may have. Attendance is mandatory, but it's honestly worth it to attend. He is very caring when it comes to his students and he sets you up with study guides and review sessions to succeed on all quizzes/tests. I would definitely recommend his classes!

Dr. Friar is a very thorough teacher and cares A LOT about his students. He'll go out of his way to help you but you have to commit as well. His class is not easy at all, you definitely need to dedicate a lot of time to it! If you're willing to work, I recommend him. He is no where near a hard teacher, it's the material.

Can not express in words the love I have for this teacher. Not only does he explain the material in ways that apply to real life, but he prepares you for real life. He's very organized and lets you know exactly what to do to succeed in the class. If only every professor were as wonderful as Dr. Friar. Blessed to have had him as a teacher!

Class is very interesting. Nice old man, very funny. Take the class, you learn a lot. Have to work for it but he's always there to help. Large lecture hall, so the only complaint would be his microphone not always working.

Dr. Friar is simply the best. At 79 years old, he is still the most organized prof in the dept. Dr. Friar has been here for a LONG time, and he knows what he's doing. His class is tough, and he expects you to put in a ton of work, but you will learn about so much more than simply A&P. He wants you to be a good person who's prepared for life!

He is very clear, and cares about his class very much. If you like to hear storys about him then take this class, i repeat it is all storys about him, and half don't even apply to the class.

Dr. Friar is an amazing man. He loves all his students and is very fair. His class is not easy but I have never learned so much before. He is the type of man who would work for nothing in order to help his students succeed. He IS the best professor at Ferris State University!

GREAT Professor! Really knows and loves what he does. Lots of worksheet/study guides throughout the semester but not hard, just time consuming. He is willing to help anyone who asks, he would even have a review session for one person. STUDYING A MUST! Nice man, made lecture interesting :)
