She has a thick Russian accent but if you pay attention you can understand.She lectures for a couple minutes and makes it as clear as she can. Quizes come from the lab manual and are pretty straight forward if you study some. Picks the better grade of quizes or practical. You can learn if you pay attention and study. Overall easy class. Take her.

Thick Russian accent, very good teacher. 1 quiz a week, she emails out a review of material. questions are straight from the review. Practical exam a little more difficult, but just 1 visit to LRC will get you an A. In LRC she is there and very very helpful. You can do the whole mock exam and it is straight forward.study a little & you'll do good.

If you take her for Anatomy and Physiology, then do not take her in the summer. She was going to give us only one test for the entire semester until we got her to give us four tests and make the last test take home. She can be hard to understand at times, and she doesn't really teach. All she does is read the power points for the entire class.

She makes the class read the powerpoints verbatim. If you ask a question, she repeats the slide, if the answer is not on the slide, she doesn't know the answer. ALL tests are from powerpoint, which is information overload with no explanation. Gives participation points and drops 2 lowest grades- entire class is passing, but I didn't learn anything.

Professor K makes anatomy a breeze. All you have to do is 5 tests and an optional research paper for extra credit. Attendance for her lectures are not mandatory but do get you extra points. Her lectures are heavy and its a lot of information but she also provides test question answers in her powerpoints.

I'm so glad I took anatomy with professor K. She provides extra credit so try not to miss any labs so you can build points that will help your final grade. There were practicals that were hard but all my extra credit points from attending lab helped me! Her online quizzes are not too bad and there is also connect assignments due at the end of term.

Dr. K is one of the best! I took her for BSC2085L and 86L. Her labs are very straight forward and she goes over the chapter concepts before every practical. Once you get to know her, you'll realize what a sweet and understanding professor she is! I would definitely take Dr. K for A&P lab again!

She's an easy A. In the lecture attendance is not mandatory but you get extra points for it and there's a research paper as well for extra credit if u need it. For her class you only have 5 tests, all at home and NO HOMEWORK. You can't fail the 5 tests because they're all you're graded on, but they're very easy with the right tools :)

You're only graded on 1 thing, the Tests. U have 5 tests, all of them are at home on D2L. She's a very nice and kind professor. She'll give u extensions on the test if u ask nicely. Attendance is EXTRA CREDIT but it's 0.5 points which is literally nothing. I barely showed up, since all the powerpoint are online. Trust the ratings, she's an easy A.

I Took Professor Kalashnikova for both lecture and lab and though she runs these two classes very differently I will say that her lecture class is super easy! She wants to help you pass but you have to help yourself first. Tests are online(with honorlock)

Professor Kalashnikova runs her lab differently than her lectures...If you are going to take her I will tell you to be on time she will take points off your lab (which means you get an automatic 60%). Lab quizzes are online she gives us 15 mins to complete them. Lab overall is easy and sometimes she lets the class out early if you guys finish fast.

Took Dr. K for A&P II Lecture and Lab. Lecture was cut and dry, attendance was only mandatory for the first two weeks. Connect assignments take to but are open all semester. Lab attendance was mandatory every week and be on time. Her study guides have everything you need to know on the midterm/final. She's super sweet and responds to emails fast.

Dr. K isn't a bad professor, however, most of the learning I did on my own. This class was extremely easy, test are easy, and attendance is mandatory the first 2 weeks. Take someone else if you're trying to learn and be prepared for BSC2086. If you're just trying to satisfy the credit and you're not doing BSC2086, take her.

If you're looking for an A, take her. Tests arent recorded and she offers extra credit (you wont need it). Reads off the ppt so most people dont go to class, attendance is optional. She truly cares about her students and gives you all the resources to do well in her class. Everything is due at the end of semester, pace yourself and youll do great

Professor Kalashnikova is the best A&P professor at BC! She is very caring about her students and always willing to help. I had her for lecture and lab; her class consisted of 1 connect assignment, a quiz every week, plus lecture questions, research papers, and a PowerPoint for extra credit!! She wanted everyone to succeed and gave us all a chance.

There have been numerous instances where her explanations have been unclear, and it appears that she struggle to grasp the material hersself.While students may manage to pass the class, it is largely due to self-study and peer assistance rather than effective instruction from the professor.

Take her if you want an easy A with no effort, and of course teach yourself. Very heavy accent, but is a sweetheart. All 4 exams are online, "proctored" without camera; 3 effortless powerpoints projects with precise directions for each slide; will give full credit for 50% done homework assignments.

An easy A, but you'll need to put in some self-study. Prof. K is kind, but the accent can be tricky. Exams are online and no-camera proctored. Using unstuck study and the textbook helps a lot.
