Advice re: UCBerkeley Ext. Physiology w/Keith Earnshaw

Hi everyone,

I'm taking a prerequisite undergrad physiology course via UCBerkeley Extension (online) with Keith Earnshaw. He's unresponsive to emails, his homework assignments are not only sloppy but include many uncorrected mistakes (duplicated questions, incorrect answers to some questions, poorly-worded questions, questions relating to material covered in chapters we haven't gotten to yet, etc) - AND he gives zero feedback on written assignments.

All this sucks, but I can deal with it. I am however worried about the proctored final exam. There is of course no guidance as to how to prepare for this exam beyond "learn everything in the 700-page text."

Has anyone taken this course and final exam, and if so, do you have recommendations about how to best prepare? The amount of information is overwhelming.

THANKS FOR ANY HELP!

Hey Birdpants,

I'm feeling you about Mr.Earnshaw's class. It's a mess. I am currently studying for the final and I'm really worried. I currently have an A but not for long I'm afraid. Did you already take the final, and if so how did you do?

Thanks!

Triracial,

I've not taken the test yet. I also have an A, for the moment. Most dreadful course ever. No clue how to prepare. Learn the glossary??? That's the advice given for the final. I'm honestly trying. I'm a straight-A, phi beta kappa student, and I'm finding this extremely disheartening.

Sad too because I loved anatomy and was very excited about physiology... it is so lame to have a teacher who cares so little. Expensive course, too.

I'll let you know when I take the test! (or you let me know, if you beat me to it!)

Appreciating the comradery!

I had planned to take this in due course. Not so sure now.

Actually, this thread probably helped me from grade damage. I found it super-useful.

Hello. I am taking the final next monday and I was wondering how it went? Is it extremly detailed like the worksheets and quizzes? Wondering if I'll be able to get that 70%...

Any information would be great.
Thanks
