Absolutely love this professor! He's the BEST. (side note: if you need to take anatomy 337/338, TAKE KINES 127 BEFORE!! It has helped me so so much. And then when you take 127, actually learn the anatomy and material WELL, and this will prepare your for anatomy 337/338)

This class is incredibly difficult, but Dr. Hills-Meyer is a good professor. I found his lectures to be engaging and understandable. Expect to be spending large amounts of time prepping and studying for this class as the exams for this class were very specific and very difficult.
