Friscia teaches the second half of the course and he seems a bit more hardcore and strict personality wise, however, his quizzes and written final exam were definitely easier than Phelp's solely because the second half of the course is more just brute memorization based (memorizing everything about the bones and muscles). You will have to spend tons of time studying for the weekly quizzes but at the end of the day, its very possible to get an A.

Preface: taken during a quarter where labs and quizzes were in person, lecture and midterm and final were online. Although this class is dense in material and goes at quite a fast pace, it actually is great class. At first I did not know what to think, as going to the anatomy labs startled me and the material was difficult to comprehend, but with continued effort and adjustment, things get better. The TAs are students from UCLA who are doing a masters. The LAs are very helpful, and they lead the breakout rooms during lecture where you work on worksheets that you turn in. The final is not cumulative, and each respective midterm is only over the material taught by that professor. Tests are on CCLE. The textbook honestly is not that helpful, but if you like extra material then go ahead. Make sure to spend time with the models and samples, it really helps. Overall, don't be scared, and it gets better with Friscia, although I argue Phelps isn't bad.

the cadaver lab being in -person made this class my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE of the quarter and I am so excited to be a physci major and start this whole college learning thing! If you don't know, the class is broken down into lecture worksheets for participation, lab quizzes that are pretty doable, and your exams (2 practical / anatomy exams and 2 written midterms).

Friscia is a super down to earth person and he made live lecture really engaging. The exam covering his material (for the second half of the course) on musculoskeletal anatomy was very fair and I had a lot of fun putting bones together, visualizing muscles, and learning how the body moves! Anyway, loved this class and I know you will too :) shoutout to TAs Lorna and Matthew for being the BEST ily

Dr. Friscia is a great professor. His lectures are very clear and he's overall a really funny guy. He even made Zoom lectures engaging by standing up on tables and acting out different motions associated with a muscle. He teaches the second half of PS 107, which covers musculoskeletal anatomy and the reproductive or digestive system. Like in Phelps' half, there were weekly quizzes on lab and lecture material as well as a lab presentation on a relevant topic taught in class. I found the material to be much easier and interesting than Phelps' half, partly because you can study just by moving and identifying things on your own body. This reflected in the quizzes and final as they were pretty easy. The lab section is definitely the highlight of the course as you get to work with cadavers, which is really awesome.

Grade breakdown:

Total: 500 pts
Grades are assigned on a straight scale and may be adjusted only to benefit students.

The amount of material covered in class is what makes the class kind of difficult. There are a lot of things to memorize for both parts of the lecture. I found Friscia's part easier than Phelps' part. The material covered in lecture for Friscia was the same material covered during lab. Whereas the material covered in lecture by Phelps was different than the material covered during lab. I definitely found Phelps' part harder due to the amount of detail she goes over on some topics. For the quizzes and midterm you should write everything you know about the topic/word. Make sure to understand the cranial nerves stuff very well.
I advice using your time during open labs wisely and attend every one of them. Ask your TA and UAs all the questions you have and ask them of tips about how they were able to understand and memorize all the material. There are some useful mnemonics that my TA and UAs gave us to memorize the material.
Both of the professors have office hours and Q&A sessions every week. Moreover, it is useful to attend the office hours of your TA because you can see what you got wrong on the quizzes, practicum, and midterm. Ask them about what specific details they were looking for each of the answers.
The course consisted of 1 midterm (300 pts.), final (300 pts.), 2 practicums (140 pts./each), and 6 quizzes (20 pts./each). There are some extra credit points offered on each of them. The class is not graded on a curve, the professors will emphasize this throughout the quarter.
The book is not really required for the class. It is useful because it has diagrams that will help you understand the material and you can refer to it if you do not understand anything in lecture. However, the book goes into more detail on some topics that what is covered in lectures. Both professors provide the notes/outline of the material for each lecture before class. Make sure to listen to the lectures again and catch anything you missed. Also, make sure to take a look at the animations and presentations of each lecture while you listen because the video is not recorded.

He is a funny guy and his lectures are interesting. I wasn't bored during his lectures, also because the material is so interesting. You can tell that he loves what he's teaching. I just memorized his lecture notes and studied the lab portion really well and I did really well on his exam. I thought his exam was easier than Phelps' exam. Great professor!
