Very helpful and kind. If you have to take biol 240, try to take Ashley by any means possible. One of the best professors I've ever had!
By far the best instructor I have had in my two years at SIUE. Makes time to help students both during class and outside of class with extra tutoring sessions. She's helpful, friendly, and knows what she's talking about. If you can take Ashley, DO IT!
Ashley is a fabulous teacher, no matter the subject. She will sit down and explain anything to anyone if they do not understand. I highly recommend her as a professor and as a person. Take her class if there is any possible way! You won't regret it!
Ashley has been the best professor I've had SIUE so far. She is always willing to help,explains things really well and organizes study sessions before exams. Plus she really knows what she is talking about. I would highly recommend getting her if you can!
Ashley is one of the best teachers out there. She always makes time to help you and will do whatever it takes for you to succeed. She really cares about you learning and succeeding. Anytime I needed help she made time to help and kept working with me until i understood the material. Take her class for sure if possible. ;)
I had Ashley as my lab TA for anatomy and she was the best teacher I could have asked for. Anatomy is not easy but she did everything she possibly could to make sure you understood the material. She is extremely friendly, approachable, and committed as a teacher. TAKE A&P WITH HER!
This is the best A&P teacher I have ever had at SIUe. She cares about the students and goes above and beyond to make sure you understand the material. The first time i took this class i dropped with a D, i took it with Ashley and by the grace of God i earned a B. She's an awesome teacher. Register for her class ! ! :)
A great professor! Tells you exactly what she expects and doesn't expect you to know tiny details. Very fair and understanding, always willing to help. GREATLY SUGGESTED!
Ashley was my lab instructor for A & P. I learned more in lab from Ashley than I did in any lecture I went to. Now that she's teaching lecture, GET IN THAT CLASS. Ashley always throws in different ways of teaching the material. GREATEST TEACHER EVER.
AWESOME. If anyone has a bad word to say about her, they are WRONG! She is so helpful and passionate about teaching/learning. Also, she is very approachable. She is willing to do whatever it takes to make sure everyone understands! If you have the chance to take Jabs, DO IT. I can't put it any clearer than that. Favorite professor, hands down!
Ashley was by far the best teacher I've had so far in college! Not only was she an awesome teacher, but she genuinely cares about students and how they do in her class. I definitely wouldn't say she's an easy teacher, but she will really go out of her way to make sure that you do your best. I definitely recommend her!
AN INSTRUCTOR THAT CARES!!! She did her best to make the material interesting, which it is, but let's face it, Anatomy and Physiology just isn't easy! She definitely is knowledgeable, approachable, and will do anything she can to help you understand the material. She genuinely cares about her students and wants them to do well!
Ashley is the best teacher possible for this course. While it is a very difficult class, Ashley will be more than happy to go out of her way to explain anything and everything for you. She is completely fair and wants you to do the best that you can. Take anatomy and physiology with Ashley! She will make your experience with the class fun.
Ashley was an awesome teacher who cares so much about every single student. She set up extra study sessions for almost every test and practical. She makes sure that everyone understands every main point before going on to something new. She uses all different types of learning tactics. SHE IS GREAT!
Ashley is an amazing teacher!! She really cares about her students and takes time out of her life to set up extra study sessions. She really wants to make sure that you understand everything. I highly recommend taking any class that Ashley is teaching!! You will not find a better teacher!!
I really didn't like biology before I took this class. Ashely totally changed my mind. She taught in a very understanding way and was willing to help everyone as much as she could. I highly recommend taking A&P with her if you have the option.
One of the best teachers I've had! She cares about the student's learning and is willing to help in any way she can! If you are willing to put in the effort, an A is definitely attainable in her class.
Ashley was my TA for 240a. She is the most helpful and passionate teacher I have ever had. I didnt have her for 240b but she helped me on the side. She took time out of her days to help me really learn the material! Without her I wouldnt of pulled off a B. I am very jealous of the students who get her as a professor! Take it with her if you can!
She was awesome!! The class was not easy by any means, but she was super helpful and very interesting. I for once actually enjoyed biology. I highly suggest taking her course.
I had her for ANP over the summer and she was amazing!! She goes out of her way to help you if you do not understand something. Take her as a teacher you will not regret it!!
BEST AT SIUE. TAKE HER!
Ashley is such a great teacher. She goes over slides everyday and explains everything very well. Her tests are kind of tough, but when she goes over the notes she tells you things to definitely know for the test. If you study you'll be able to pass easily. She's awesome.
One of the best professors SIUE has to offer. Always available for questions, always clear with instructions, lectures are more than interesting, and overall the most caring teacher I've ever had. I have had an awful experience with the science department at SIUE and this teacher is the reason I did not transfer. Take her class!!
Best teacher I've ever had! She goes over the material very well, she is very easy to talk to and she will help you with whatever you need. Her class isn't a piece of cake by any means but if you study and apply yourself you can easily get a good grade. I highly recommend taking her class.
Ashley was amazing! She explained difficult material easily and was always available for asking questions. Her class was definitely challenging but I am glad it was because otherwise I would not have learned. I absolutely recommend her class!
she helps a lot, i learned everything i needed to! hard topics but she covers everything for the test! i recommend her!
So helpful and easy to understand, will help you with anything, always available to talk
She is a very good professor, I highly recommend taking her for A&P.
I love Jabs she is the best teacher I have ever had. Her test are hard but she will help you and she makes sure you get what she is teaching!
Jabs was an AMAZING teacher. Took a huge amount of tough material and make it doable and enjoyable. Very quick paced, but that's to be expected with the amount of material that needs to be covered! She was funny, quirky, and intelligent, and she was very open to questions and comments. LOVED her.
She's super hard, but you learn SO MUCH. Reading the book doesn't help much, just stick to her notes, and make sure you grasp the WHOLE concept, DON'T WORRY ABOUT SMALL DETAILS. Her final is super easy, too! I recommend her, she's very nice and funny! Although hard, she is approachable and encourages you!
Jabs is one of the best teachers you could possibly take for Anatomy. She is very passionate about what she does and makes the information fun and clear to understand. She is always available to discuss difficult sections in office hours. She puts all of her notes on BB. Print out and bring to class to fill out. So much easier to study that way. :)
I learned so much more in this class than I ever anticipated. she made it fun and made us feel like she genially cared. she is def challenging but made it so worth doing all the work. her random uplifting emails were always the best too!! such a smart and kind individual. HIGHLY recommend her, she'll change your way of thinking.
Instructor was awesome but course was super difficult. First class I ever failed :-(
Seriously one of the best teachers I've ever had. I had a class with her for the first 3 semesters of my college career and I'm very upset that I won't get to have her anymore! She knows what she's talking about, makes it enjoyable, and she wants you to succeed and will help you to do so!
Jabs is by far the best teacher I've had! She really cares about her students and does all she can to make sure everyone understands the material. Take her class if you can! I've had her for three classes and would quickly take another one of her classes
she is a really nice teacher and is actually funny. i like how she sometimes incorporates videos in her class.I dont want to say she is a hard professor its just the class is hard. i took her for bio 140 and got a C . i am in her A&P class now and i will be lucky to get a C. However, she is a very fair professor. Just study every NIGHT
One of the best teachers you will ever have at SIUE! she truly loves what she is doing and loves her students, she makes you feel welcomed by her and she is open to any questions and is there for your benefit! LOVE HER!
She is the best teacher I've ever had and probably will ever have. Her tests are difficult, but she definitely prepared me for the nursing program. I received a B in the class because I slacked on the final. So an A is definitely attainable. If you have to take the class,TAKE IT WITH HER!Just stay focused, study at least the 12 hours/week suggested
Best teacher I have ever had! She truly cares about her students & wants them to succeed. She is very understanding & will take time out of her schedule to help her students. Take note of what she spends a lot of time on during lecture b/c those are the questions she will ask on her exams. You'll have to study, but she's an amazing teacher!
Ashley is the most amazing professor I have ever had! Even though anatomy can be a very difficult class, she does everything she can to explain difficult material clearly. She is also always available during her office hours. Not only is attending class is very beneficial, but she also tries very hard to keep the lecture upbeat and interesting!
Not only is Ms. Jabs a great teacher she is an awesome person. Bio 240 is a very difficult class, but she does everything she can to get you through it! If you have the chance, TAKE HER! She is by far the best professor I have had at SIUE thus far!
The best teacher I have ever had. She sincerely cares about each and every student. I cannot wait to have her next semester for 240B!
Professor Jabs is a VERY likable professor. However, her tests are ridiculous. Is the answer A, B, A&B, B&C, All of the Above, None of the above. You have to know this stuff 100% or you're screwed. My problem was that her notes were very convoluted and the test questions were extremely tricky. Take this course at a community college and transfer it
Her class isn't easy by any means. You have to study your notes every night and take advantage of SI sessions. Jabs will help you and do everything she can to help you understand the information. If you seek help and study you'll pass with an A.
Ms. Jabs is one of the best Professors (that I have experienced) that this University has. She is excited about Anatomy and knows what she is talking about. She gives more than enough opportunities for students to go to her office for help. Have to pay close attention to her questions on the tests. lots of extra credit, better show up for class.
Dr. Jabs is the best teacher I have ever had. Her tests are tough but that is just because of the class. She is always there for you and will help you if you ask for it.
By far the most amazing professor I will ever have. You have to study to understand the material and pass the tests, but that is just because of the difficulty of the material... NOT because of Jabs. She is encouraging, uplifting, and great at explaining difficult things in an easy to understand manner. Go to class - she gives lots of extra credit!
Jabs is honestly the best professor you will ever encounter at this school in my experience. You will never have a teacher that cares as much as she does about passing her class with a good grade. Motivational emails the night before a test, super flexible office hours, you name it. The class itself is not easy but she makes it much more enjoyable.
Good professor. Tests are a little too difficult for my taste. Takes a good amount of work. Great lectures!
Jabs is by far the best teacher I've had here at SIUE, she really cares about her students and does as much as she can to help us do well, but definitely doesn't hand you the grade. You HAVE to come to class because all her notes are fill in the blank. She makes the class interesting and is just an all around awesome lady.
Best teacher I have had at SIUE. Hands Down.
Jabs is HANDS DOWN THE BEST PROFESSOR to ever teach at SIUe. She motivates you to excel, and become the best possible student you can. She is inspirational, and is always available to ask questions. She truly cares about her students futures, and that is exemplified through her. Must earn the grade though, so prepare to work! wont be handed to U.
I've only had Jabs for 2 days and I am so excited to learn in this class. She gives great examples on almost every concept and is very willing to offer help during office hours. Make sure you read and keep up on homework, that way, you're golden!
Jabs is one of the best teachers I've ever had! Anatomy is not an easy class. It's a lot of material and it will take over your life. With any other professor, I doubt I would have made it! She knows the subject and makes it interesting and easy to understand. If you take notes and study you will pass. She's also always willing to help! She cares!
Best professor I have had so far. Explains everything and is willing to help you if you are confused. Very inspirational and believes in all of her students. Lectures are fun and you will learn a lot. Jabs is the best professor at SIUE!
Jabs is the best professor SIUE has to offer. She is an all around good person, explains the material in a way that students can really understand, and is extremely helpful one on one. She goes over things until it is understood and genuinely cares about her students more than anyone I've met. Her inspirational emails definitely were a boost too :)
Jabs is an incredible person all around. She genuinely cares about all of her students passing her class . She goes above and beyond to motivate and help her students. 100% recommend her to any student who has the opportunity to take her. She makes a class that most people dread into something people want to take just because it's taught by her.
Jabbs is a very good professor. She explains her material very well but she does not know when to stop. Her work load is ridiculous. Jabbs feels that because she is a good instructor you will be able to stay on top of her work load so you have to remain focused. I hear she is the best teacher for AP 1. So, you better take her.
TAKE JABS! Best professor ever! Yes, anatomy is hard. Yes, you have to study your butt off. But honestly, if your taking this class obviously your going into some sort of medicine and need to know what you're doing. Jabs is AWESOME, explains well and is a great person. She explained the material, I studied a week before each exam, and got an A!!
Jabs is an incredible professor & an amazing person. I honestly wouldn't have made it through the semester without her pep talks and availability to help. I was basically in her office every 5 minutes, and she never lost patience. She truly cares about each of her students, which made me want to learn from her. I already miss class with her!!!
Jabs is one of the best science teachers I've ever had. She keeps your attention when you start to dose off or feel the need to text your friends. She makes sure everything is clear for you to succeed. Everyone I know enjoyed her class. She really cares about her students and you can tell. Expect pop quizzes, lots of study hours, and do not skip!
Jabs is the best science teacher I have taken so far at siue. I took Dr. Luci Kohn for biol240a the previous semester and failed miserably(because she is a crappy teacher). Retook with jabs the next semester and easily got a B. Never really opened the book, u just need her lecture notes. U will need to study your lab book for the lab section though
Jabs is seriously one of the best teachers at SIUe. Her class is tough--you have to work HARD for an A--but she does an amazing job explaining, helping, and working hard to make sure you have everything you need. She's one of those profs that reeaallyy wants you to succeed. She's great, take her now!
Best professor I have ever had! She is more than willing to help and is passionate about her students. If you put the time in, you'll receive a good grade, but if you don't, expect the opposite. She gives extra credit (but you'll only get it if you attend lectures), flowcharts, and other materials to help you be successful. I LOVE JABS! TAKE HER!
Jabs is one of the best professors at siue. She's passionate about what she does and really wants all her students to succeed. She goes the extra mile to make sure students understand the material. Take jabs' class if you can.
I love this professor. Love love love love love. only take her for A&P, not anyone else. She is extremely clear in what she wants, but you're going to have to work for your grade. I love that she has an open door policy for when she's in her office which makes it really easy if you need to speak with her if you can't attend her office hours.
IF YOU ARE TAKING ANATOMY DO NOT TAKE ANYONE ELSE BUT HER! Not only is she an amazing teacher who really knows exactly what she is talking about but she is hilarious and so nice. She care more about her students than every other professor on campus combined. Her tests are hard so study a lot and don't skip class. If I could take her again, I would!
LOVE AJABS! She truly wants her students to succeed and will help as much as you're willing to let her. Yes, you will need to study, but if you do have questions go to Office Hours. Her lectures are interesting, and if for some reason you didn't like 240a I liked b so much better. Lots of which of the following are T or F to make sure you know it.
Great professor.. Isn't all that easy of a class but she's probably as good as a professor as you're going to get anywhere. Study and show up to class and you'll do great. Would definitely recommend!
My favorite professor by far! She's nice, funny, and very inspirational. Anatomy is a hard class, so you do have to really study, but she makes everything as clear as she can. She cares A LOT about her students and is very understanding. HIGHLY RECOMMEND taking her!
Still have the inspirational emails
Jabs could improve her class a bit. For example she offers extra credit but everyone cheats and its really not fair for those that dont. I really wish she would start offering the extra credit as bonus questions on exams, considering its harder to cheat on exams. Also arguing for points might get you some back IF your comfortable doing that.
I like Jabs, but I hate lab. Lab is the hardest part, you will get zero points on practicals for simple misspellings. If it wasn't for misspelled words I'd have a B. Some lab questions are not specific, yet you are expected to give a specific answer. Also, homework due almost every lab and get this. Their only worth 2 points each.
Jabs is awesome!!!! If you don't go to class, don't expect to do well. She will tell you whats important to remember for her exams so you arnt trying to remember EVERY little detail. Gives extra credit opportunities. Never used my book. Study and you will do fine! Sometimes she holds review sessions... GO TO THEM! It will help for exams :)
If you have to take A&P take it with Jabs if you can!!! She is so great. She cares about all of her students and wants them to understand the material and do well.
Great teacher and cares about the students and material that they learn. I was an expecting mom with baby brain and still got the information needed because she made sure you got it. I would definitely take another one of her classes. I didn't do as well as I should have personally but I liked the class overall.
Ashley is a truly amazing teacher, if you have the chance to be her student, do not pass that opportunity up! She cares and will work with you to make sure you do your absolute best in the class.
The class was tough but she was a great teacher!
Amazing teacher. She knows exactly how to breakdown tough subjects into a way you can understand. Very fair grader and she loves to give out extra credit
Me and many other people think that she is honestly one of the best teachers we have ever had in all our years of school . She teaches a lot of material in a short time and does an exceptional job at it. She also sends long encouraging messages when we are all stressed out (which I love), has a great heart, and I wish she could teach all my classes
Jabs is the BEST professor I've ever had. Her class is tough & you have to work hard, but she is definitely willing to help you anytime you need it. She gives a lot of extra credit, which is very helpful. Every night before an exam, she sent out the most inspirational emails for us. I consider myself blessed to have a whole year with her! TAKE HER!
She is awesome.. Best teacher at siue. She knows her material and loves to see students succeed.
She is a great teacher , easy to understand , not to much homework, test and quizzes are fair. Overall, a GREAT Professor .
