Dr. Steenbergen made this class alot harder than it needed to be, in my opinion. The lab portion was easy enough, straight memorization of the anatomy of whatever system we were studying. However, the lecture portion of the class was devoted to physiology and his tests and quizes could cover some really obscure subject matter. However, on his blackboard page, he did post some practice tests. The questions on these practice tests invariably showed up on the actual exam, in mutiple choice format, with maybe a few of the answers switched. So if you read your chapters, answered the questions on the practice exams and study study study you can do well. It takes alot of effort, alot of studying, alot of reading as the book can deal with some pretty complex material which often required reading more than once. Dr. Steenbergen does grade on a curve however, so if you made say a 75 on the exam, your curved grade would be somewhere in the A range, since most people in the class would score well below 75 on their exam. Bottom line, don't take Steenbergen if you can take Biggers or Mason, but if you do end up with him, its not impossible to do well in the class, just takes alot of work.
