Her lectures are hard to understand but she is crystal clear in what you need to know for her exams which helps because there is just so made anatomy that you have to memorize in an A&P course. She's a very nice, accommodating and also a generous grader.

I personally thought this was a great class. As w/ any A&P course it will be tough, but Annalisa was crystal clear about what you need to know for the tests, quizzes, and diagrams. She graded easily and helped with any questions. I would recommend her anytime, and I hope I take A&P2 with her

Absolutely nice and helpful, great personality.

A&P is a challenging subject, but she does everything to help her students, creates a good working atmosphere. A very pleasant personality! i would highly recomend her!

Great experience with her. Lectures are hard to follow, but the Study Guides she posts are all you really need to know for the tests and quizes. Expect a test/quiz/diagram quiz each week.

If you need a strongly structured course, she's not for you. Very helpful, and easy grader, but lectures are all over the place. Strong self-teacher? Go for it.

Absolutely awesome teacher! She introduces you to A&P calmly, without unnecessary stress,always gives a thoroughly understanding what exactly will be asked in the tests. She speaks with very cute accent, doesn't bother me at all. In general, she is very helpful teacher and nice person.

I love Annalisa! She is an awesome teacher, who is definitely willing to work with you and make sure you get what you need. My only complaint is that assignments/tests are extremely slow to get graded, leaving you wondering weather or not you should be going on to 242 by the time you register. Easier grader than most, offers plenty extra credit. :)

Her exams are based off the notes. A little unorganized but she makes up for it with a lot of extra credit. She is animated, comes up with hilarious ways to explain concepts, and is democratic (the class can vote whether to postpone an exam!). Very personable and approachable; I had a lot of fun in class! Come to class, study the notes, get an A.

Follow the study guide and you will do AWESOME! She can be a little hard to understand at first and goes through slide shows fast, but posts them online for your convenience. Labs are a breeze. Lots of extra credit and she gives bonus points. I would totally take her again.

Great teacher.

I enjoyed this class and feel that she cares for the students more than other professors. She is a great and I would take her again.

Taking a course w/ Annalisa was a breath of fresh air. She is exceptionally courteous, kind, & patient (I would have blown my top at some of the students in my class) but also expects students to rise to a high standard and be pro-active learners. Her short-comings (slow to grade, rushed lectures) are negligible. Fascinating subject matter, too.

Annalisa is a wonderful teacher! She really cares about her students and wants them to understand all the concepts. I really appreciated how she acknowledges that her students are future medical professionals and she treats them as such. As far as class format, use the study guides as much as possible. They match the test well. Highly recommend!

Annalisa is caring and knowledgeable and sets you up for success (good lectures and study guides), but AP is challenging and outside studying is needed. Exams/quizzes are tough, but based on lectures/notes and study guides prepare you for them. No outside homework besides a couple of take home quizzes and a small project/essay.

She talks at a fast pace with an accent, but by the second day I was adjusted. The pace is needed to allow for all the material. She was amazing! She well rounded every concept, gave extra time for concepts she knew would be a struggle. Also understanding and concerned with every individual's thoughts. Provides study guides that prepare you.

She is not anal about her lessons like many others. She is there to help you learn and succeed. A&P courses are probably the toughest, so don't expect an easy A unless you are super smart. She is understanding and a team player. She gives extra credit more than other science teachers I have had classes with.

Very sweet and caring. She puts effort into her students as well as the course material. A&P is a tough course and you have to study the lecture material on your own to understand it and succeed on exams. Offers lots of extra credit (including 20 points for the final review session) and provides study guides (although often at the last minute).

I took both 241 & 242 with Annalisa. I feel compelled to call out some of the reviewers who have LIED in their evaluations. She DOES offer extra credit & her exam questions ARE reasonable. Moreover, extra credit & study guides are privileges, not rights. Get up off your lazy entitled butt & study her Powerpoint slides (another privilege).

I LOVE HER. I am taking her again. She does have a accent but she's so nice and cares about her students. She really wants you to understand. Her tests are kind of hard but the content of the class is hard as well. She also give a lot of Extra credit which is amazing.

I love Annalisa! She is the kindest person you will ever meet. She cares so much about her students and really just wants to help them succeed. It is apparent that she is an expert in her field and that makes lab really fun. She does have an accent, but it doesn't phase me, it adds to her charm :) She gives a lot of extra credit and exams are fair

I really enjoyed taking both BIO 241 and BIO 242 from Professor Lembo. She is a fair grader and offers opportunities for extra credit. You really shouldn't miss class if possible but if you do the slides are posted on canvas. I found that she really cared that all students understood the material. However, A&P is a hard subject, so work hard!

I took Annalisa in both Biol 242 and Biol 260. I loved her in both! The lectures are important unless you are able to teach yourself by book. She has clear powerpoints but the tests are still hard. You have to put in work to study, but she is more than understanding on test questions and moving things around in the schedule.

Annalisa is the best instructor for A&P if I could take her again I defiantly would. She teaches to where it is very clear and easy to understand I absolutely Love her she is the best instructor I have ever had! if you need to take A&P take it with her! she is amazing!!!

Best professor I've ever had. Most of your grade comes from assessments. If you hate homework, write ups, and group projects, pick her because there isn't any. She gives extra credit like candy on halloween, from thoughtful answers to wearing a hawaiian shirt. She has clear-cut study guides but you have to read the textbook to make good use of them

Annalisa is such a sweet and easygoing professor. Her awesome Italian accent may be difficult for some. Compared to Tessa her lectures are weak. BUT she has clear expectations, is organized overall,a generous grader, and flexible with time commitments.I can't say enough good things about Annalisa. She really, really cares, she made me want to learn

Pros: generous grader, tests only on study guide materials Cons: disorganized, can be unclear To get an A go to lectures to know which material youll be tested on (+ participation & lab points), do study guide in advance & check with prof, cross ref book, do the practice tests from book/canvas, use SSC. Prof very avail for ?s & clarification.

She's great! a little disorganized during the lecture, she hops around from slide to slide. just download the PowerPoint and following along won't be an issue. frequent quizzes keep you on your feet for knowing the information on exams and makes studying for them easier. LOTS of extra credit.

She has a strong Italian accent, and she's not the most organized teacher, but she is a really nice teacher. She constantly asks if she is making sense to people and make sure you know what she wants on tests. Also gives a lot of extra credit. If you study study guides and use her PowerPoint and the book, the class is easy. Just takes effort & time

You know those teachers who you check out on RMP just to read all the glowing comments, only to find a poor review & you think: Wait. Are we talking about the same person?! Thats Annalisa. She is so sweet & genuinely interested in the subject & student success. I am dumbfounded that anyone would have nasty things to say or elect not to take her.

I really enjoyed A&P with Professor Lembo. She has realistic expectations on what students should know and provides clear study guides with material that will be on the tests, which is SO appreciated in a subject that can be overwhelming with details. Only downside was her limited tech skills - lots of little mistakes and delays on Canvas.

Annalisa is a knowledgeable and caring professor. Attend every lecture to get the most out of class. I am usually a textbook-only person, but benefitted from her explanations in lecture every single time. I only missed two days and it showed on my tests. Its not easy! Show up, study hard, go to her office hours, and you will do great.

Get ready to read. She gives you the tools. She gives study guides for quizzes and practical tests. Read everything on study guide. Make summaries of the study guide and you will pass her class. Home work is not timed and has 3 attempts, try until you pass. She is available even after office hours. And shares her cell number in case of emergencies

I really enjoyed class with Professor Lembo. A&P is never going to be an easy class, however she makes class enjoyable, makes sure you understand concepts, and is always available for help. Make sure you ask questions, be a participant, and work hard outside of class. She wants you to be successful and will help you with anything!

I don't understand why there are so many negative ratings on here. I thought professor Lembo was very kind, helpful, and made it very clear what her expectations for the course were. A&P is a challenging subject by itself. Utilize her study guides when preparing for tests and show up to lecture!

HONEST REVIEW! Annalisa is very willing to work with you and find ways to help you. Don't miss labs, read material before she goes over it! You will know what she is talking about if you do. Find a buddy to study with and ask questions. She really is willing to do what she can to help you. If you fail, you didn't really try... - Spring 2024 - VP

About as good and responsive a teacher as you could have at this level; makes difficult content accessible, cares deeply about student success, caters class structure to student needs. Difficult tests but overall fair grading practices. I learned A LOT and usually enjoyed class, too, especially the labs.

She's nice, I enjoyed her class even though it was extremely tough. Lots of studying, a lot of self taught material, and nonstop studying for high pressure exams. But she does make expectations clear so it isn't too hard to get a decent grade as long as you put in effort - It is a hard class regardless of teacher but I liked her a lot. Shes fair.

If you try hard, you will get the good grade. At the end of the day, it is up to you on getting good grade.

Took her for majors animal and it was almost a joke how easy the class was - you literally would have to try to fail this course or not get an A. Outside of exams and quizzes, if you do the work you'll get a 100% on it. Exams are super easy as well + so much EC in course.
