I took chem 102 in summer section and I believe this was Dr. Mahaffey's first time teaching a class in summer. She gave online exams and the exam problems were taken directly out of discussion sheets and homework. Dr. Mahaffey's power point were directly from the textbook. Overall she's a nice professor very easy but you have to teach yourself.
I had her for summer session. It was an easy A, but it didn't prepare me for Organic Chemistry. Every test is open book and online (you can look up the answers). She reads off the powerpoints the book provides. You basically need to teach yourself how to do the actual math problems because she NEVER goes over it. She is very helpful outside class.
Dr. Mahaffey is the best Chem professor Loyola can offer. Despite being easy, she's supper helpful in her office hours. I've always found Chem difficult but she explains materials really well. Online exams, Take her!!
Dr. M is overall a good professor. She's always super helpful when you ask her questions outside of class and answers emails. If you pay attention in class and do the discussion sheets, it's an easy A without ever opening the textbook. All the homework and tests are online so you could google most of the answers, though this won't help come orgo.
Take for an easy A but don't expect to learn what you need to be successful in future classes and exams. Class is a joke. She is a text book teacher and blazes through text provided power points so she can let you out two hours early. Common catch phrase was" I'm not even going to bother going over this because you can read it yourselves".
She is a super nice person but isn't an amazing teacher. She knows a lot about the subject but isn't very clear when presenting it. The powerpoints come right from the textbook and she goes through them to end class early. Exams are online and are relatively easy but don't expect to remember the information to be successful in future classes
Overall a very easy-going class, but you'll need to make sure you read the textbook and do practice problems because that's where test questions come from. The powerpoints are from the book publisher. Teaches really fast, but will clarify if you ask for help. No surprises and only tests on what she expects you to know (2-3 ch. per test). Lots of EC
She teaches the class like everyone already knows a ton about chemistry. Also she moves way to fast through powerpoints making learning the material in class way harder than necessary to learn. Had the opportunity to take a lecture taught by her next semester and definitely decided not to.
My friend and I went up to her after class to see how we did on our last test. I just missed a B on the exam and when I went up to her hoping that she would explain what questions I missed, I was told "Don't worry you won't need to know that again". Then, my friend who did not pass the exam was told "I can tell you're very intelligent". ROASTED
Lectures are dry, the equivalent to banging your head against the wall repeatedly. She puts random questions like "What is the Ph of battery acid" on the test which I know will be very beneficial to know in the future. Offers extra credit but only when everyone fails. You can tell she doesn't like the nursing students but the feelings are mutual.
Professor Mahaffey is a very intelligent woman that cared a lot about her students. She always related our lessons to nursing, and went out of her way to answer questions 24 hours a day. She cracked jokes in lecture in an attempt to make it more enjoyable and gave lots of extra credit. Difficult class and fast paced, but doable.
RUSHES through the powerpoints every single class. It is a one hour and 15 minute class and we are usually done with 30-45 minutes left. She then uses that time as her office hours which seems quite impersonal. You really have to teach the material to yourself. The tests are easy, but I don't feel like I learned much.
Dr. Mahaffey is a very smart person and she tries to relate chemistry to nursing, however she speeds through the powerpoints and doesn't actually teach us concepts thoroughly. I basically had to teach myself chemistry by doing practice problems and reading the powerpoints and the book.
I do NOT understand any of these bad reviews!? Dr. Mahaffey was an AMAZING professor & an absolute gem. She made chemistry super easy. She did rush through her lectures, but she explained everything in a way you could understand. She ends class early &has flexible office hrs. She wants to see u succeed! Even offered 3 opportunities of extra credit!
Typical class of what's expected of you. Offers a lot of clarification if you ask; caters to students needs as long as you make them known. 5 Tests (including final) all worth 20%. Can teach yourself if you don't go to class; all ppt. Gives extra credit if test scores aren't good.
Really stepped it up from teaching chemistry. She knows it's a hard class and does her best to give clear, straightforward tests and study guides. Also gives extra credit which is nice because nursing classes are graded on a different scale. I would recommend.
Professor Mahaffey gives a lot of extra credit and encourages students to ask questions when they are confused. You will have to teach yourself how to do the math problems but overall the class is a breeze.
I had Dr. Mahaffey for both chem and physiology. Both classes were centered around rushed, and vague powerpoint slides. She would often rush her lectures and seemed to get aggravated when students would ask questions. Online exams are utilized in order to prepare students for the nclex. Some extra credit offered throughout. Be prepared STUDY!
Mahaffey teaches chemistry as if the class is a review session, not us learning it all for the first time. Her powerpoint slides are vague and only pictures. Be prepared to take very fast notes as she races through them. She offers extra credit only because so much of the class bombed a test. Be ready to teach yourself and GO TO SI SESSIONS!!!
Angela doesn't know what she doing. She regularly gives incorrect information during lecture. She is clueless. She is hard to reach during office hours and overall a bad teacher. Avoid at all costs.
Her class is so easy but she's not a good teacher. She does a good job at relating the information taught to real life scenarios but it pretty much stops there. You get so much extra credit that if you study for the tests you're guaranteed an A. It's not because everyone "bombed the tests" like a lot of these posts say. Don't waste your time, STUDY
There is no doubt that Dr. Mahaffey is exceedingly intelligent and an EXPERT at Bio and Organic Chemistry. We are not. This is supposed to be an into chemistry class for nursing students but she teaches like we are in the final class before getting our PhDs. GO TO SI, Practice, and DO THE EXTRA CREDIT. Nice lady but she's teaching the wrong class.
Dr. Mahaffey is mediocre. I learned by teaching myself from the book and going to SI (highly recommend). In lecture, she flies through her slides. so it's hard to take note from what she covers. She does give lots of extra credit, which helped me get an A. She also suffocates everyone with her "nurses are responsible" mentality and is unforgiving.
Worst professor ever, she leaves your grade up to a few extra credit assignments near the end of the semester as she realizes more than half of the students are failing. Very rude, and unapproachable. Doesn't allow questions besides a few minutes before or after classes, if you raise your hand during class she will make a 'example' out you.
Angela is way too smart to be teaching this class as she is better suited for research and her own things. As long as you do the extra credit and self-study you should easily get an A. Go to SI sessions as she flies through the slides (which barely have anything on them anyways) and stay calm. The tests are going to be easier than you expect.
She is very experienced in and passionate about the field of nursing. She moves through material very quickly, so it is important to look over the chapters before coming to lecture. Sometimes she seems annoyed when students ask questions. Her tests are fairly straight-forward and she gives several extra credit assignments throughout the semester.
Angela Mahaffey is an amazing woman. She loves teaching us nursing students and she will do everything she can to help us understand material. She gives extra credit and there are opportunities to add points to previous test scores to help boost your grade. If you just memorize the material she tells you to, you are guaranteed an A.
BUY THE BOOK, basically taught myself the whole semester. Tests are not as difficult as they seem in lectures but don't underestimate them. Lectures are very boring/hard to follow as she assumes you have a basic understanding of chemistry/math beforehand. Lots of extra credit and a group presentation which was very nice. Another "weed out" class.
Mahaffey is such a kind and caring person. Her tests are mostly made from the exact questions she uses in the in-class review, and she gives lots of extra credit, so I don't know how someone could fail this class. Older students have said she used to be tougher, so don't be scared of bad reviews. She has made her chem class very easy.
Great teacher, but you have to ask questions to learn. Her powerpoints are directly from the textbook so it's not a big deal if you miss class occasionally. Tests always have questions from the textbook, wileyplus, and her review powerpoint and she gives extra credit, she wants you to pass just as much as you do
Angela Mahaffey made Chem such a great experience. She incorporates her own experience, which makes me very excited to begin nursing. She gives out a TON of extra credit and she waters down the course material for the test so that most people succeed. She's funny, approachable and a great chem teacher.
Dr. Mahaffey is the best professor ever. She cares about her students so much and wants all of her students to be successful nurses. She gives a lot of interesting extra credit to make sure her students pass, and it relates to nursing. She is literally the most perfect person ever.
Dr. Mahaffey was intimidating at first just because of how intelligent she is, but in reality, she is just a science nerd who loves teaching (nerdy in the best way possible). She gives TONS of extra credit and always applies what we learn in class to nursing. 3 tests and final (noncumulative) 40 -50 multiple-choice questions. Always curves too :)
My favorite professor! er power points and reviews have everything you need to know. She wants her students to pass and succeed. Does an amazing job connecting healthcare to chemistry. Her power points are based off the book so it is not completely necessary to use.
Mahaffey is the goat. Hands down THE BEST professor I've had this semester. She makes chemistry easy to understand, but you either understand and pass or fail miserably. She gives so much extra credit because she wants her students to pass. If you don't do well in this class, good luck in other nursing classes because most are heavy in chemistry
Absolutely love Dr. Mahaffey! She gives out a lot of extra credit opportunities because she all wants us to pass. Very clear on whats gonna be on the tests and does review days. She does a great job connecting chemistry into healthcare as well. As long as you pay attention during lectures and do the extra credit, this class is an easy A.
Dr. Mahaffey is very nice and inspirational. While I enjoyed and appreciated her as a person, she was not my favorite as a professor. Her lectures were very confusing, and her powerpoints werent organized in a way that makes sense. The class itself is very easy, and the tests are easier than the material we learn. Lots of extra credit.
I took AP Chem in high school so the class was a breeze in terms of material. But even then, many other students who didn't take chemistry before seemed to thrive in the class. All of the tests questions are from test reviews or her power points so study those! Otherwise, she's a very knowledgable woman and seems to really care about her students.
So amazing! Easiest class I have ever taken! Exam questions are literally the exam review, which is posted on Sakai. Course grade consists of 4 exams, a concept map (very easy), and TONS of extra credit. The most caring professor I've ever had. Stops her lesson to fully answer questions. Encourages questions. Taker her!
I don't like Dr. Mahaffey as a prof. She is rude, belittles students, is not clear about test material, contradicts herself in lecture, flies through slides, won't provide slides to students with notes, won't admit when shes wrong, etc. Given her teaching style, everyone gets bad grades. The only plus is her massive grade curves. Except an A.
Physiology is hard to understand, but her lectures are the main focus for all her exams. She gives review days, study guides and clicker questions to help prepare you for the exams. 4 exams and one final. She gives in-class points which count toward extra credit. You do have to buy the online textbook to help with the online homework.
Dr. Mahffey's class was one of the few on my schedule as a freshman nursing student that actually excited me. Her very thorough explanations of nursing chemistry and real-world examples helped a lot. She loves what she does, and you can see it from the way she teaches. Answers all questions, never had surprises on exams. 10/10
Mahaffey assumes everyone knows the content prior to lecture and moves through the material in class too fast. If you dont understand the concept, youre on your own, after one person correctly answers, she moves on to the next problem and doesnt wait for anyone. She doesnt write out any problems so you need to listen to her explain math verbally.
Dr. Mahaffey is a sweet professor. She is funny and I love her jokes. But the way her powerpoints are structured are confusing. I couldn't understand her explanations(she goes fast at times)I struggled a lot but you really need to work hard for an A. Her exams are based EXACTLY on the class reviews. The SI tutor is NO HELP. he doesn't explain
Dr. Mahaffey is a lazy professor. She reads off of chemistry slides that she didn't create herself. Just reads off the slides and does not go into much depth. You can tell she just wants to get through the material quickly to end class. Don't get me wrong, her class is easy because of the extra credit. But she doesn't really care :/
I enjoyed Doctor Mahaffey, but she does go through the material quickly. It can be hard to keep up and digest the hard material. She cares about her students and their success, which is very refreshing.
Mahaffey cares about all her students and wants to help them succeed. however, she goes through lectures quicky and she goes off topic a lot in the beginning of class which can be annoying. she gives lots of additional points to help boost your grade. i struggled in this class a lot and it was hard for me to understand with the way she teaches.
Dr. Mahaffey cares a lot about her students and is very intelligent. Her online class was unfortunately very hard to stay engaged because she required audio and video to be off everyday. Good news is she probably won't know if you don't show up to class every once in a while. Fair grader, genuinely cares.
1 infographic, wiley homework for each chapter, 3 exams and then you've reached the final. She gives you a ton of extra credit which is nice but pay attention in class! She talks fast so pay attention but she is a quality professor. This class shouldn't be a worry and I am really bad at chemistry. Focus on anatomy especially anatomy lab!
Dr. Angela makes all the grading criteria clear. All the criteria balanced pretty decently. She is generous and gives extra credit opportunity to help boost grades. Her expectations are clear and she appreciates participation. She doesn't have any set timely due dates. Due dates are when the class semester ends so its up to you to manage properly.
I LOVE Dr. Mahaffey! She is very understanding and always accommodating to students' needs. She doesn't cram everything into a certain agenda. Her class is composed of only 4 exams, all of which you can have one page of notes to use and are normally curved. She gives lots of extra credit to help you and is very good at explaining concepts, 10/10!
she gives extra credit for just coming to class a lot and lets us out early almost every class. if you took high school chem you will be fine. she gives a ton of resources to learn the material so if she talks to fast in class or doesn't explain fully it is very easy to teach yourself. she is passionate about chem and gives good examples
4 exams including the final and 1 infographic. Tests are easy because you're allowed to have a cheat sheet. Infographic is not bad either. Dr. Mahaffey is very kind and knowledgeable. She also offers plenty of extra credit! I love her. Just go to class and you will be fine.
Dr Mahaffey is genuinely one of my absolute favorite professors. Her lectures are easy to follow and really help prepare for the exams. There is a ton of extra credit opportunities so while there isn't homework, there are still ways to make up for a poor test grade. Her grading and point system is how I have 103.5%.10/10 one of my favorite classes.
Dr. Mahaffey is a great professor and person. She puts herself in her students shoes and gives many opportunities for her students to succeed, as she wants them all to succeed. If you get the chance to take her, take her! I had her in chem and I am currently enrolled for her physiology class for spring semester.
While she teaches, you can tell how INTELLIGENT she is on chemistry and other things regarding healthcare. She will make you want to attend class and will create a comfortable environment. She really understands the students as we are all stressed and she emphasizes with us. I have so much respect for her.
There's a lot of extra credit and exams are curved, so don't worry about this class. Mahaffey is a great prof and it good at explaining things. We get a cheat sheet during exams which is a life saver. This class is an easy pass so focus on anatomy. I just wished she wouldn't go through the slides to fast since she ends class early sometimes.
She's the sweetest professor I've had. Challenging class, but she really cares about her students and wants us to pass (she curves almost every exam and offers extra credit). The class consists of 4 tests (including the final which isn't cumulative) and an infographic that you have to make so everything ends up being about 20% of your grade.
Doctor Mahaffey was one of my favorite professors this semester. She makes funny puns and applied healthcare to chemistry. I went from failing this class the first 2-3 weeks to ending with an A. I would definitely recommend taking this class as she gives out a lot of extra credit points just for showing up to lecture and is an easy grader.
I LOVE Mahaffey! She gives lots of extra credit and her exams are pretty straightforward. She goes out of her way to make her students less anxious. On our exams we get cheat sheets and she tells you what will be on it. You definitely need to pay attention in class and study outside of class if you don't understand or the unit will be confusing.
The first thing I will say is if I got an A in Chem, it means she is a great teacher. She gives opportunities for extra credit, and even though the content can get so boring, she has practice quiz questions in her lecture slides to keep students engaged and always does exam reviews. She makes cute science jokes and really tries to make it fun.
Such a great professor, also had her for GNUR 160, always makes sure that students understand the material through lots of memory tools like jokes, pneumonics, etc. TONS of extra credit, open-note exams, would 100% take her again.
Take Professor Mahaffey!!!! She offers lots of extra credit, lectures are engaging, and she allows note cards during exams with equations, definitions, etc. This class was easy because Mahaffey wants her students to succeed! TAKE HER!!
Dr. Mahaffey has a lot of mixed reviews but I personally really liked her. The exam questions come straight for the slides, so take good notes. The study guides really aren't helpful though, so you almost have to study everything.
Physiology is a super hard and not very fun class, but Mahaffey made it super easy to succeed. She offers TONS of extra credit and makes the class a lot less stressful than it needs to be. She listens to her students and will give extensions/cancel class if people express they need a break.
This was a difficult class that requires a lot of studying and you basically need to reteach yourself the material. Grade is based on 4 tests (20% each), homework (5%), and the cumulative final (15%) but she offers a lot of extra credit (raised grade by 5 points overall) and the final was pretty easy compared to previous tests.
Physiology is a difficult class but she makes it easy for you to get a good grade because of extra credit and all our exams were online and open note. That being said, I don't think she taught the material very well and is rather just an easy professor.
She's an awful teacher, but the exams are open-note and pretty straightforward. In some chapters, she full on doesn't explain and expects you to learn yourself. Go for SI sessions if you can and take good notes.
Dr. Mahaffey is a very nice, although she doesn't seem to care about interacting with the students. Yes, she creates fun activities at times but there is little communication when it comes to receiving help outside of class. Her tests are very as they are all open book tests. As long as you read the slides, you'll do fine in the class.
Mahaffey is knowledgable and passionate about her subject. I had her for chemistry and am taking her for physiology too. The subjects are difficult but she has multiple extra credit assignments that boosted my grade a total of around 7 points!!! Tests are also open note and she is very fair and kind to her students. Take Mahaffey!!
One of the sweetest teachers you'll have! The lectures can be long, but she adds her own jokes to keep them fun and lighthearted. She uses various models, mnemonics, and games to help you understand the information better. Her class consists of 4 exams, weekly online homework, and a final. Also, opportunities for extra credit. Take her class!
I LOVE HER. Physiology is not an easy subject but Mahaffey broke it down the best that she could. There were no classes on Wednesday (Panopto). She gives out so many extra credit opportunities and is so open. Please protect this women at all costs. TAKE HER IF YOU HAVE THE OPPERTUNITY!!!!!
Dr. Mahaffey is awesome for GNUR 156! Not only does she know her stuff, but she also goes above and beyond to make sure we understand the material. Plus, she gives extra credit opportunities that actually help boost your grade. Highly recommend taking her class.
I think professor Mahaffey was amazing! I took her for a summer course for CHEM102 and she was fantastic. The lectures were asynchronous but were very well done and explained all of the material very well. She is a very sweet women and wants her students to do well. The tests were online and open note which made the tests much easier. Take her!
Dr. Mahaffey is honestly such an amazing professor. While the content of the course wasn't exactly easy, her lectures were thorough and she always encouraged us to contact her with questions! You can really tell she wants you to succeed. Her study checklist on Sakai was also very useful. One of the most organized/helpful professors I've ever had!
Love Dr.Mahaffey! Attendance not mandatory, always a chance for extra credit doing the easiest things, 4 exams and a final all online
Dr. Mahaffey was my favorite teacher so far while being here at Loyola. Her lectures are engaging and she usually will let us out early. She cracks jokes and has open-note exams. She gives extra points when you come to class here and there but does not take attendance.
I enjoyed having Dr. Mahaffey as a professor. All tests are open-note and online, but she makes sure we understand the material before we take it. Class can be long at times, but she does her best to make it fun and interactive with her jokes and in-class activities. She also provides a lot of extra credit to help students get a better grade.
Pr. Mahaffey is an amazing professor, all the exams are open-note and she made sure we knew the material. Chemistry is very hard subject but she made it fun and entertaining, TAKE HER!! She gives out extra credit for attending class sometimes so I would recommend going to class. (4 exams all online)
Dr.Mahaffey is a good professor. She tries to make sure we understand the material, especially since there is a lot to cover in human physiology. Her exams are on Zoom and allow a cheat sheet, which has its pros, but I often found myself heavily relying on those sheets rather than thoroughly studying the material. Easy professor for a hard course
Mahaffey is the best choice when it comes to taking physiology. She gives a lot of extra credit opportunities, one note sheet in exams, and tries her best to explain this hard subject. Easy to reach outside of class hours and will explain anything you just have to ask!
4 exams and 1 infographic project. Super easy class and trust me, I was NOT good at chem at all and Dr. Mahaffey changed that. I got a C in HS honors Chem and never took AP Chem and I still managed to get over an 100% in this class. Super caring and sweet. So many extra credit opportunities, insane curves & allows 1 cheat sheet per exam. TAKE HER!!
Dr. Mahaffey is a professor who's passionate about her job, and it shows!! 4 exams with one cheat sheet (front and back), 1 infographic, and MANY extra credit options. I was never the best at chemistry, but Mahaffey would explain things clearly, & her slides were easy to follow. She's great!
Probably the sweetest human being and best professor. I came into this class feeling iffy because of previous chemistry experience, but I was able to learn well and quickly in Dr. Mahaffey's class. You are allowed one "cheat/note sheet" for exams and extra credit is offered. There is also a graded infographic that was simple and quick to complete.
Dr. Mahaffey is a great professor. She makes a difficult class as easy as can be and gives plenty of help. Lectures are well planned and never a waste of time to attend. Textbook isn't really needed either. She gives a lot of extra credit and the exams are relatively easy compared to the difficulty of the subject. I'd 100% recommend taking her.
Solid professor. She is super nice + always willing to help
Dr. Mahaffey is an absloute gem. Chemistry is super hard, but she explains it in a way that makes sense. She always starts class with a joke and throws jokes throughout the lecture. Four tests in which you get a one-page cheat sheet front/back and one super easy project. She's super slay, and I would absolutely recommend her.
I'm so fr when I say that I got a C+ in Honors Chem in HS and hated chemistry, but Mahaffey literally made me look forward to going to class. I never left her class confused, and she always had puns in her lecture slides to give a little break. You're allowed a cheat sheet for the exam and she grades on a curve. Seriously, take Mahaffey!!!
Dr. Mahaffey is a great professor. She engages her students with jokes and practice q's because it's a lecture based class, and gets boring. If you have a choice CHOOSE HER!! The class is graded based on 4 exams and one project equally weighted, she is an easy grader offers generous curves and a lot of extra credit, in class and independently.
You can tell how knowledgeable she is by how she teaches her lectures. She is so sweet and funny. She loves telling jokes and is adorable.
She is honestly a great teacher and isn't threatening at all. I feel like she can definitely be pretty fast paced in her lectures but she is always willing to meet out of class and further explain any topic. She let you use a cheat sheet for exams and always tries to give extra credit whenever she can. Definitely do recommend!
She is very passionate about her work it's actually crazy. If you actually listen and take notes in class, you will understand. I took her for chem 150 (nursing) and gnur 156. Her slides have everything you need to know. Take her! her grading is the best as it is curved every time.
Actually the sweetest and nicest women ever! I took Mahaffey for physiology and I was so scared, especially after having Bruder for anatomy, but she made it so easy to understand! There are only 4 exams that are relativly easy and she offers SO MUCH extra credit. She is also one of the smartest people I have ever met! TAKE HER!
QUEEN QUEEN QUEEN i wish i could have her every year for nursing; genuinely so smart and well educated (queen made her own textbook); her lectures are so interesting and she always relates what we are learning to real-life situations she has seen in the medical field
Dr. Mahaffey is literally one of my favorite professors here at Loyola. She is so so sweet and smart and makes physiology so easy to understand. There are four tests and a final (all fairly easy), and she gives a lot of extra credit. She has her own book, which you'll need to purchase. If you have the chance to take Dr. Mahaffey, please do!!
I had Dr. Mahaffey for Nursing Chemistry and Physiology—she's brilliant and a great teacher! Her classes had 5 exams (no cumulative final), chapter quizzes, and lots of extra credit. I've heard rough things about other professors, so if you can take her, do it! She's clear, supportive, and fair.
Loved her. She's very knowledgeable and you can tell, but in a vey respectful way. Classy is a word I'd describe her with. 5 exams, 1 being a final. Just study her homework quiz questions, she copies those questions for the exam questions. Lots of extra credit opportunities, so don't miss class too much. HW was easy/done on your own time. Take her!
Amazing professor
She's perfect for GNUR 160, she has extra points opportunity and for all her tests we're allowed a cheat sheet and a curve. She wants her students to succeed and provides really good resources and her lecture slides, just make sure to actually do it. She can be soft-spoken so make sure to not talk in class so you can hear her. She's super sweet.
Dr. Mahaffey was such a sweetheart. She pushes you to ask questions if you have them, and is not intimidating at ALL. All exams were straightforward, curved, and you were allowed to have a cheat sheet (she also explicitly says what you should put on it!!). Gave many opportunities for extra points too. YOU WANT MAHAFFEY FOR CHEM!
Lots of extra credit!! Im not normally a chem person, but she made it better
This teacher is awesome and really cares about her students' success. Always offers extra credit opportunities and provides the necessary tools to succeed. Definitely try to get her for chemistry or any class, she's great.
Dr. Mahaffey is SO knowledgeable. Her expertness is inspiring; her sophistication makes you want to sit up straight. She doesn't overcomplicate things and caters content to skills useful to a nursing career/the NCLEX. I did poorly in high school chemistry but ended with well over a 100. Do not take anyone else!! Also, I never used the $40 textbook.
Definitely would take her again. She is very nice and has some good stories during her lectures. Tests are pretty easy.
She's a very intelligent woman who wants to see her students succeed. She does ask for participation and will call on you a lot but only if she knows you personally or by name. She's very caring and gives extra points when she can. Had her for lab too and she was very helpful as well. Take her
such a queen, so knowledgable and wants her students to actually learn for the nclex and succeed. easy class, didn't use the textbook at all
She was great, she really does everything for you to get a good grade in her class. Definitely woudl recommend her the class itself was also pretty easy.
