Comment:
I love mike with all my heart. He's a great teacher and tells stories when he teaches (which makes it easier to retain the info). Come to his office hours for both lecture and lab, it will help a lot. He is brutally honest, but in my opinion, it's refreshing. He's hysterical and a total sweetheart. The class is hard but he makes it worth it.

Mike is an amazing professor and really cares for his students. he gives detailed lecture outlines that are a key to passing the class. There is no homework, but be prepared to be studying every night. He knows the material very well and teaches it in a way that is easy to grasp. Take him if you want to actually learn anatomy and physiology

Mike's class was very difficult, but doable. You will be thankful later that you took him, but in the moment, you'll wish that you hadn't. His lecture outlines are the key to passing his class, and his quizzes are by far the hardest part about the course.

If you want to actually LEARN anatomy and physiology, this is your guy. Everyone is gonna tell you he's the worst professor... that is only true if you don't put in the time and effort to succeed in this class. By far one of the most challenging classes I have ever taken, but also one of the most rewarding too. If you're ready to work, take Mike.

Comment:
During our lecture videos, he would talk about his kids, wife, and dogs more than the material. Class is super hard and he does not give good feedback, For example, I asked for help and he told me to watch youtube. He only cares about his nursing majors. Overall I would not recommend him.

This is truly a hard class and sometimes seems like your hard work will never pay off, but Mike truly cares about his students and how they are doing. He is willing to help everyone and makes the classroom setting so much fun to be in. Every class would be full of laughs and it made the difficulty of the class bearable.

The class itself is very difficult. Tests are hard, but Mike writes then so he'll give you a few hints. The class is a lot of work for one credit. Be prepared to study and attendance is mandatory. Mike is funny and personable and makes a difficult class bearable. He cares about his students and wants them to succeed, but makes you work for it.

Mike has such a Dad presence in the classroom. He is hilarious and has a story for everything, making the material much easier to understand. If you want to do well, go to every lecture with the outline printed off & write in the margins/ highlight the things he tells you to. Make sure to study everyday and go to SI. It is hard but really worth it.

Best professor for anatomy and physiology, hands down. He ensures you know the material and explains things clearly. A&P is a hard subject regardless but Mike really pushes you to know the material rather than just memorize for a test.

Go to open lab often. Best lab prof for this course because he makes the tests and grades very generously. If you study and and put in the work you will get a good grade.

Mike is absolutely the professor to take for A&P. He is super knowledgeable and good at what he does. You will need to take really good notes, maybe even record the lectures. He is really funny and an overall nice guy. By far the hardest class I've ever taken but if you work hard enough you will pass, and Mike is a great teacher.

Only seemed to care about nursing majors. Tests and quizzes are really hard. Do not want to sign up for his class again.

It's a very hard class but every anatomy class is hard. He makes the information more understandable and loves to joke around with the material. There are Exams and quizzes which your grade is mostly based off of. But since he makes the exams you have an extra advantage because he will get you hints in class what's going to be on the Exams. Amazing

Michael was a great professor during lectures but once the test came they were harder. He do not provide a study guide so you will literally need to study and review everything . I would not recommend him.

Mike is a wonderful professor. Anatomy is a hard class in general but Mike makes it interesting and is always available to answer your questions, you can even text him questions if he isn't in office hours! He makes the lectures relatable by using stories that make you remember the material. Take advantage of his help and go to office hours!

Mike is one of my favorite professors at Xavier! He cares about his students and the topic he teaches. Anatomy is somewhat difficult, not because Mike makes it hard, but because it is a detailed field of study on its own. Mike does his best to guide you to success and what all of his students to grasp the information. Great professor to take!!

I love Mike! I have had him for two semesters of anatomy and physiology and I would recommend him to anyone. The classes I took were weed out classes, so they are not easy. Mike does his best to make sure you succeed, just take advantage of office hours and ASK QUESTIONS!

Mike is very experienced at teaching A&P, I took him both semesters freshman year & I would definitely recommend him. His class is hard & you have to try to do well. The tests & quizzes are not easy, but I learned so much from Mike. Mike is a little quirky & is very much a dad type of teacher, but he really enjoys what he does, & he does it well.

Comment:
Mike was awful. The first day of lab he said that more than half of the class would drop right before the second lab exam. If you have a disability he'll brush it off and then forget who you are. Be prepared for challenge stations on the exam- sometimes you don't even learn that material. Way more work goes into this for a one-hour credit course.
