Reviews of professor Steffen Poltak

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Poltak is not a great professor. His lectures are so dry, most people stop showing up. He is so unhelpful, especially with exam prep. After exams he says in lecture the average is a failing grade, yet theyre barely scaled. He just reads off his slides in lecture. Also, he assigns a TON of mastering A&P questions, even during practical/exam weeks.

Poltak has been my favorite professor these past two years. This class makes you work your ass off, and he knows that, which is why he is so willing to help. Don't flood his email for questions, though. Go the extra mile and go to his office hours for questions or to even just talk - it'll make the class a lot easier. He is really a great guy!

Dr. Poltak is a great professor, he conveys the material really well over zoom and is super passionate about the class.

Poltak is a great guy that tries to make the driest material enjoyable. A&P has so much material that it is impossible for Poltak to make sure everybody understands all the material in lecture, as it is up to the student to seek help through office hours, TA help, CFAR, and other online resources. Overall, Poltak is great, anatomy sucks.

Hard work, but amazing professor. I suggest meeting with him and trying to get to know him.

Dr. Poltak was an amazing professor. Your grade reflects the work you put into the class because he is available during office hours to help you better understand the subject material, if you miss a lecture there is a recording on canvas for you to watch so you don't fall behind, and he cares about his students more than grades anyways.

He gets off topic very easily. It is very difficult to follow his train of thought because he jumps from one topic to the next. Skip the lecture, it is useless and be ready to teach yourself everything you need to know for anatomy and physiology. He won't respond to your emails either. UNH needs a new professor for this class.

Amazing guy, very hard class. Prof Poltak is a very down to earth man, very sweet, and extends deadlines if needed (so frequently). The class is very hard, but that is no fault of the Prof. Very awesome prof who wants to see you succeed but may not even know who you are in the sea of hundreds in his class. Try to stand out in class.
