Most classes consisted of reading directly from the slides and redrawing diagrams that were already provided. He tries hard to keep the class engaged with jokes and humor, but a lot of it felt forced. The exams and quizzes were heavily, heavily based on pure memorization of anatomical terms and structures.PHSC2301 2026-06-24 01:38:09 +0000 UTC
He literally can not teach for the life of him.PHSIOLOGY 2025-12-04 02:51:57 +0000 UTC
The class is only weighted by 7 exams, so one bad grade can tank your average. The exams are based entirely on the class presentations so study them thoroughly. He also does not answer any questions himself and relies on the TAHLTH2302 2025-08-06 22:59:47 +0000 UTC
His teaching style and lecture slides weren't my favorites but because he was covering for a professor on maternity leave, his exams were relatively simple and he added extra points to exam grades.ANATOMY 2022-06-07 19:49:36 +0000 UTC
Such an amazing professor. Makes class very interesting and he really cares for all his students. Draws very beautiful pictures and always puts a smile on your face. Definitely recommend!AP1 2022-03-30 18:17:57 +0000 UTC
Best professor at NU. Cares a lot about his students and is always willing to help you succeed. Lectures are terribly important. He draws many beautiful pictures that make material easier to understand. Had he been 10 years younger, he would still be a gallant boxer. KGB occasionally steals his chalk under the cover of the night, though.HLTH2303 2017-02-01 15:24:28 +0000 UTC
He has a strong accent, but you will get used to. The material is very basic. So if you want to learn sth advanced, dont choose his courses.PHYSIOLOGY 2015-04-11 16:15:25 +0000 UTC
Dr. Bernstein is awesome. In order to get all that you can out of his lectures, you have to go to class. The diagrams he makes are extremely helpful and he is entertaining and funny so he keeps you engaged. Great guy.BIOL1117 2014-05-03 15:00:29 +0000 UTC
He's funny and tries to be kind. Very thick Russian accent. talks about communism a lot, will call you comrades. Claims his tests are 'fair and honest', but they're really about memorizing arbitrarily estimated numbers in 30+ pages of notes per test. He does not answer phone/e-mails or Qs during exams. Gives bonus points.PHSC2304 2013-05-09 23:04:19 +0000 UTC
He is the cutest man alive!!! If it wasnt for his Russian accent (mostly understandable, took me la couple of weeks to get used to), I would have given him a 5 for clarity. He is super helpful-- if you have a question just go up to him after class he is really nice and friendly! Go to class and study. Gives test questions in class prior to exam!HLTHALTM 2012-11-15 19:29:37 +0000 UTC
Dr.Bernstein is the man. At first he seems a little scary but if you get to know him he is the nicest man. If you go to class, pay attention and study / memorize your notes..your good!BIO1117 2011-11-07 11:17:01 +0000 UTC
KGBs after him well they keep taking his chalk...PHY101 2011-01-10 17:03:39 +0000 UTC
One of the best all-around professors I've had. Knows his subject very well as well as many others. Funny and interesting during lectures. His tests are completely derived from his notes so take them well, pay attention to memorizing specifics when preparing for tests (flash cards are great for his classes)BIO117 2009-08-16 10:12:40 +0000 UTC
His topics are mostly in the lecture manual but he himself explains the material. Take your notes and study EVERYTHING. His tests cover everything down to the specific numbers. If you have good memory, you'll have no problems. Make sure to do the bonuses. Every point counts!PSC101 2008-11-15 15:44:56 +0000 UTC
AWEEESSOMMEE teacher! If you have him jump with joy! He is so energetic, gives great examples, and makes 8 am Anatomy worth while! Great Guy. If you go to class and read the lecture notes you will easily get an A! (Don't even buy the textbook)PSC301 2008-10-07 23:42:45 +0000 UTC
