We use chi-square test for statistical comparison. According to research results, all students understand that anatomy class gives them the right occupational education. (p<0,001). But the same anatomy class is not very effective for their working life. (p>0.05). Practical education time with model is not enough according the participants. Also practice time on cadaver is not enough too. (p>0,05). In general anatomy class is informative. (p<0,05). This research is done with formal students. For us this survey could increase productivity of anatomy class by using students thought who have different view. Key words: Anatomy education, Fakulty of Health Sciences, feedback, nurse, student.
