Reviews of professor Joel Kaufmann

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
I highly do not recommend taking this class with this professor. The class is only graded by test and exam and no home work to help you study. I expected more from this professor and department. Kaufmann does not give feed back on any essay questions so I didn't earn wanting from it. DO NOT TAKE

This class is asynchronous so the only way you will succeed is if you put in the work. Your grade is dependent on how well you do on the exams since is no homework. Dr. Kaufmann is very understanding and responds to emails effectively and in a timely manner. He will help you succeed if you try. Would recommend if you have good time management.

I think Dr. Kauffmann is knowledgeable about anatomy and Biology, but his teaching is not to great. His lectures are between 2 hours long or more per organ system. His lectures are very boring and dragging and doesn't make it fun to learn. Their are no assignments for this class it's all about your test grades. I would not recommend at all

I took this class online during the summer. This class is very lecture heavy and test heavy, so get ready to manage your time well and take A LOT of notes. It's easier to go over the slides on Laulima prior and take notes throughout the lecture. He's fair in grading and gave specific feedback on the 1st exam for students to improve on the next.

If you apply yourself and study the lectures that are in laulima, you will pass. He curves the tests 20-25% each time. If you have an A in the course before the final you get exempt. Take him over Jenni Guillen! :)

Lectures are monotone. Sometimes funny. Open to questions and clarification. He highly recommends watching his pre-recorded lecture before coming to class. Study guides are provided for all 5 tests. Hard to learn from him if your learning style isn't lectures. Often lectures go a couple minutes past time (keep in mind when scheduling classes)

He knew the material really well but the course was really hard. His curves is the only reason why I got an A. He usually gives curves based the class average of an exam, if the average was a 50, he would give a 25% curve to everyone.
