Very hard, but very fair. I passed the class, barely. Even though I studied a lot, it was just too much information at one time plus I had not taken her for A&P1 and had an easy teacher that did not go into as much detail. I'd recommend her to anyone you just need to study at least few hours a day.

I had Naravane for A&P I and did well but when Angel came along it turned her teaching format to crap. I still studied everynight and I found her information was not up to date with her testing material. She had a lot of errors on her pp's and it seemed she just took from the previous format without actually redoing her study lectures accordingly.

Dr. Naravane is e very thorough teacher who makes excellent use of the internet, even if you take her "in-class". Provides an atmosphere in which students who work can gain an excellent grasp of the material. Her lab tests, however, are extremely difficult and cause alot of unnecessary anxiety for a one credit class.

People do whine about her. Look, she doesn't use the book, her notes are generally 5-8 pages long. So you can read(and memorize) a book, or some notes. The quizzes/tests are timed, so type fast.

I'm not sure why there are so many complaints about this professor. This is college Anatomy & Physiology, it's not supposed to be easy. I took her online and got a B+ in the class and I barely used the textbook. Her powerpoints, notes and recorded lectures provide all the information you need to pass this course. She is not difficult!

This professor is very strict and matter of fact. Class is taught through powerpoints, narration and notes. Her accent makes it slightly difficult to understand what she is saying and her quizzes/test are not alloted enough time to complete. Overall, if I had to take it again I probably would not take her.

Terrible Indian accent and difficult to understand her words, especially the detailed ones. Minimal test time allocation. No feedback from lab tests, just the # you got wrong. Asked for additional feedback and assistance and was told no-to get a tutor. I got a C, no thanks to Naravane. Most unhelpful prof SPC has. She forgets we are here to learn.

I took her online over summer for A&P1 lab. The class was fast paced but easy to keep up with. It's just reading her notes, listening to lectures, then quizzes and tests. If you do that you can pass easily. I got an A. You just have to make sure you read everything she gives you.
