Hey Current Students,

I would really appreciate it!! Thanks :)

The prof that teaches the first 2 1/2 blocks of Physiology is absolutely excellent. The power points brief, clear, and to the point. I learned _so_ much. The last part of the semester was a bit tough for me due to the change in teaching style. I had to rely a lot on Guyton for kidney, GI, and endocrine. (Most students would agree, but some do enjoy the last part of the semester more.)

Pharmacology is Pharmacology. The teacher will not make a difference. You have to know it all and it's difficult regardless of who is presenting the material. That said, I really adore the "main" Pharm professor.

Pathology profs - wonderful. The small guy is hilarious and I learn a lot from him. His slides are outlined wonderfully. He's a slow lecturer, but I like that because I do a lot of learning in class. Dr. K is great too. Some people find him dry, but I enjoy his lectures. The power points he gives are also good. The "newest" guy is good. Don't like his power points very much. He doesn't use complete sentences or thoughts, and you really have to be in class to understand what they're saying, or follow along with Robbins. Tests are fair. Don't listen to the rumors about how awful his questions are - I find the questions very straight foward, and you can do well easily on his sections.

Hope this helps. If you have any specific questions, you can PM me. Hope I didn't violate any rules by using initials ;-)

These are not rumors. His questions WERE awful, to say the least, his 1st semester on teaching on Saba. Then a lot of things happened...and he changed a lot in subsequent semesters. So the current students should be grateful now for our previous experiences with him...
