Reviews of professor Tomer Kanan

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Amazing lectures, very thorough but there's a lot of them. Time consuming but worth it. Reading book important but not necessary. Tests can be hard but he gives his phone number in a syllabus for questions at any hour of the day and provides review for every test. Caring guy, understanding but requires documentation to retake 1 exam.

Dr. K is amazing! Truly the best professor at UIC. I went to his office hours and open labs and they helped a lot. If you need help in the class reach out.

Dr. Kanan is easily one of the best profs. I've ever had at an academic institution. He's attentive to his students, genuinely passionate, and excited about what he teaches. His energy is infectious. I wish he could be the professor for all of the classes I take. If you ever have to take KN, do not hesitate to take it with Dr. Kanan.

This is a really difficult class but Professor Kanan makes it so much more manageable. His way of explaining the material in lectures is so clear. His office hours are great and he shows he truly cares about his students. The best professor I had at UIC.

One of the, if not THE BEST PROFESSOR AT UIC. This class is very difficult if you do not prioritize it. I recommend not taking this class with other hard classes as it will take up most of your time. I loved going to office hours and his review sessions are amazing as he explains things so well. This guy made me love A&P

He truly cares for students, his teaching style is clear and remains the same throughout the entire semester, and his exam review sessions are amazing. overall he is a great instructor and I highly recommend him.

Be ready to study bc this class really tests your limits. If you want an A you HAVE to read the book and work for it (spent 15-25 hrs per week on this class). Dr. Kanan is an amazing professor, but he is not lenient and will not accept excuses (if you miss lab twice, he will fail you). He has review sessions, open labs, and practice exams to help

Dr. Kanan is always willing to work with you (though you may need documentation). He is always accessible and clearly cares about his students. Went to his office hours and after we finished material he checked in with me. He wants people to succeed and he wants them to enjoy doing it. Class was super interesting as a premed. 10/10 class and human.

Professors at UIC need lessons from him on how to teach. These classes are content heavy classe but only Dr Kanan can simplify them such that they are understood. His enthusiasm and the resources he provides can motivate even the laziest student to study. The exams are hard but I love that this class is about teaching rather than examining.

This class was challenging but I had a good understanding of the material in the end. If you wanna take anatomy, Dr. is amazing. Attend the review sessions.
