I would have to agree with previous reviewers in saying this class is basically two classes in one: the lab and the lecture. That does not mean they necessarily relate to each other, which was somewhat weird and confusing. The lab was fun if you love dissection, like myself, but otherwise it might be torture. Also very variable depending on the TA you get, some will hold your hand and others will let you fumble about until you learn something. I never really stayed the whole time, but it was definitely advantageous because you NEED to know the lab materials to pass the practicals. They were pretty fair practicals, just very scary and comprehensive. The lectures were mostly interesting. Dr. Dines is a very knowledgeable teacher and very nice, the tests were difficult and fairly consistent, short answer and multiple choice/true and false. I never went to his office hours or interacted more than in lecture however, so I don't have much to say about his accommodations or anything. Overall a pretty hard class, but if you really like the topics then it's worth it.
