she is a great teacher, very clear on what she wants and what is expected of you in class. She is also great reviewing for test and shows that she is not there to trick or make the course any harder. definitely would take any class that she teaches.
She is amazing! On a personal level she is so sweet, understanding and funny.. It shines right through into the way she teaches. The class covers ALOT of material, but she makes it interesting & she explains exactly what to study for exams. Best 3 hr lecture you could ever sit through! Like the dude above, I would take any class she teaches.
She is the best teacher ever. She is extremely nice. Explains everything clearly without making things difficult to understand. I love this professor. I highly recommend her for a Biology course.
She is extremely nice. Explains everything clearly without making things difficult to understand. I love this professor. I highly recommend her for a Biology course.
She is awesome. I love her!! She is nice,caring,helpful,interesting, funny. Her class isn't hard if you study but when it comes to the test she helps you study for it. ALso Lab with her is great. She is just the best professor anyone can ever ask for !!! I had her for an entire year for both my Bio 181-182 classes
i love ayanna.. shes very nice and understanding. Her lectures are not boring..she likes to relate things to the real world. As long as you study for tests you'll be fine, she is very fair and tells you all you need to know for tests and labs
Dr. Ayanna K. Alexander-Street is the best educator at Lehman College. She truly takes learning to a new level. It is an honor to be educated by her. Great personality; wonderful concern for students and a real human being. Loves her work and brings herself into it.
Dr. Ayanna K. Alexander-Street is the best.I wanted to drop her class but she motive me not to and ?said I need to studies more? so I did study and at the ending of the semester, I improve and she was so proud of me compare to the beginning of the semester I did so badly. Thank you so much AYANNA. God bless u and your family.
Thanks to Dr. Ayanna K. Alexander-Street .I wanted to drop her class but she motive me not to and ?said I need to studies more? so I did study and at the ending of the semester, I improve and she was so proud of me compare to the beginning of the semester I did so badly. Thank you so much AYANNA. God bless u and your family.
Ayanna makes both bio 181 and 182 easy. She is very understanding, more than fair and she makes the lectures very interesting and funny. She is always offering help and making sure everyone understands everything and tries to answer every question that you may have. I strongly recommend!
prof ayanna is wonderful. she has got to be the best professor i've had to date. she knows her stuff and knows exactly how to connect with her students. i strongly recommend her
Had to take it a second time around because the first time I failed....this professor is amazing! She's fun and makes the subject interesting. She's fair and tries to make sure that everyone has a fighting chance of passing the class...She even gave review work for Lab even if she only taught you lecture....amazing woman....ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!
This professor is wonderful. She is so nice and sweet and will help you if you ask. She is extremely clear and lets you know what will be on the test. She gives extra credit in order to help boost your grade. You need to study in order to pass this class; biology isnt simple. take her you wont regret it.
Prof. Ayanna is so nice and sweet! Shes very helpful and very understanding. I definitely enjoy going to class. Shes very straightforward with how the class is going to be and whats on the test
She is amazing!Has a wonderful personality.She can explain things without even having an image of them on the projector! Unfortunately I couldnt take other non bio classes with her. I like her fashion taste too. You need to take her class for bio..if you cant, wait another term.Bio is hard but how she is and how she teaches makes it unforgettable.
very clear , but the biology class its hard on its own .She does not really respond her email when you wanna work on her office hours
She's a great professor whose intentions are to help her students. BIO 181 is no joke and a very difficult class. Her tests are only 50 multiple choice questions, but could be tricky. Just study and pay attention in her lecture, you'll do just fine.
Amazing teacher! Very clear, explains everything. This class is hard, but once you study and attend class even though attendance is not mandatory, you are doing yourself a great helpw if you attend!
She is nowhere near boring and I guarantee she will help you understand what Anatomy and Physiology is all about.
Amazing teacher. A little tricky with her tests; meaning you have to read the questions closely. Reading is a MUST to pass this class. Her lectures are not boring she understands and conveys the material being taught extremely well.The nervous system is her "forte" which is great because it's the hardest part of 181.
The best BIO professor. She is the ONLY BIO professor I would recommend Fall/Spring or Summer/Winter sessions. Great personality, very accomadating as well.
Excellent teacher! Hands down one of the best teachers at lehman college, if not the BEST one there!!!
she's great
I am so surprised many ppl didnt rate this professor! She is exactly what you are looking for in a professor- someone who knows the material, teaches is so that everyone understands, is always taking questions, willling to help you during office hours and is a lenient grader!! Love her so much! Don't hesitate to take her
She is amazing
LOVE LOVE LOVE ! i honestly don't think i would have done well in BIO if it wasn't for her. Coming to class, though not mandatory, is really helpful because she gives you tricks to remember things easier. I wish i had her for all my science classes. Just study and you'll be fine !
First time with this professor n I have to say that she is the best one I've encountered n I'm a junior in college. U better enjoy her while she's still here b/c I'm telling you she will be promoted to chair one day. Also, she's very pretty too. Everyone fights to get into her classes. I loved this class, u fail, no way it's on her!
It would not be in your best interest to take any Biology classes with anyone other than Dr. Alexander. SHe is the best, funny, energetic, reasonable. She is worth waiting for an overtally, do whatever you have to do to get in her section!!!
I don't usually rate professors but I had to for this professor. She is the BEST! she made my understanding in bio so easy!! take her is you want an A. but of course you have to do your part and STUDY!
The best professor ever!! Excellent! Understanding, RESONABLE , and eager to help everyone. Love her!! I highly recommend her.
She is the BEST Bio 181/182 professor at Lehman. She explains the material in a way you learn. She is clear and she is very resourceful. You do your work, and you study there is no reason not to get an A. I only have great things to say about her. If you want to learn and do well take her. Look no further.
SHE IS THE BEST!!!!! I NEVER RATE PROFESSORS, BUT I HAD TO DO IT FOR HER!! SHE IS SUPER HELPFUL AND SPEAKS ENGLISH NOT BIO, SHE MAKE BIO INTERESTING AND UNDERSTANDABLE!
SHE IS AMAZING. Best Professor you will ever have. Tests look exactly like Practice tests and her lectures are really easy to understand. I RECOMMEND.
Dr. Street is a very nice person. She knows her stuff, however is not very organized. Not certain if it because she works here at Lehman, City College and is head of the Department. Her lectures are basically the material in the book, she does not provide any helpful information on learning or memorizing the material. Okay professor, great person.
She knows the importance for students wanting a good grade. Her lectures are clearly. She delivers material. She knows her stuff. Vey helpful. Gives exam reviews which are helpful to passing.
Professor Alexander is so Great ! She's sweet, helpful, and although her lectures are long she tries her best to make them less dreading. A&P is interesting as is, but she relates the content to things you can remember. Her tests aren't hard if you study and know the chapters well, only 3 tests per semester including the final, Deff taking BIO 182
I find it unusual that there's great reviews just because she has a nice personality, everyone is overlooking how she cancel 3 lectures this semester, she is unorganized and her lectures are only reading off powerpoint! I found myself constantly trying to play catch up w lab because she was behind. People cheated on exams and nothing done to them!
awesome ,God bless her
Take her and her only. She is simply amazing. her exams are easyyyyyy.
The best professor ever. Always there to help you, clear on lecture, fair grading. Not very easy exams, not because of her, but Anatomy is hard and you need to study. Btw she has a great style...
I enjoyed Ayanna's class so much! She saved my Anatomy and Physiology chapter. I am so glad to have taken this class with her. She gives a small amount of tests and she reviews everything we need to know with her. She is a sweetheart any questions we may have she answers. You will not regret it, take her!
I think Professor Alexander street gives her students a fair grade. She is approachable to talk to. The majority of the bonus questions will be on the Mastering A and P website or at the end of her exams. I do recommend going to the tutoring sessions with Victor Nnah. Students can ask about his hours at the old gym building in room 118.
She's a fair professor. She gives assignments based on the textbook and the powerpoint. The test are pretty tough but study the slides and read the textbook and you should be okay. She gives extra credit opportunity! her outfits are gorgeous!! Attendance isn't mandatory, but your responsible for knowing the info. She reads off the slides.
Professor Street has a great personality and is very approachable. The exams are very easy and gives tons of extra credit assignments -- should be an easy A for most people. Besides that, the professor is often late to class, never responds to emails (or is very late at responding), and frequently cancels class. Falls very behind lab topics.
I absolutely love this class; however, just like many other science classes, it does get very tough. She has office hours, but always cancels on them because she's too busy. Only had a midterm and a final. She's very educated and nice.
She's hot and very easy class
Clear grading criteria and she goes over each chapter to better understand the readings. As any science class you have to study on your own time to do well on your midterms and final.
Fantastic professor overall. Knows her material really well. Would strongly recommend her if you want to learn. If you want a good grade, focus on the broad perspective of the chapters. Like any science course it is your responsibility to study and take notes of the slides. You should do fine if you are highly interested :)
So hard! If you can take Bamshad's lab instead, do IT! Trust me the lecture is dense, this lab felt like two classes in one!
She is the best. She explains everything crystal clear, and does what ever she can to help the students. She is a sweetheart!
She is great! highly recommend.
She knows her materials. She is one of the best professors. If you go to her lecture and study the slides and do some questions you will be set for an A.
Professor Alexander is an excellent professor. Extremely informative and very understanding. Best Professor ever!!
She is really understanding and wants everyone to pass and learn. At times she curves grade but if you need help she will deff help you !
Nicest Professor you'll ever get!
I LOVE Prof A! This is a BIO class for health majors. You are expected to know your stuff! So for those who cheated on her final should be ashamed of themselves. Lets see what happens when future Rn's need to take the HESI! She is fair and although i know i am not getting an A and will be receiving a B, i love her style of teaching. tough subject!
The lecture is more focused on physiology, while the lab is focused on anatomy. Professor Street really knows her stuff and comes up with simple ways of explaining the material so that students will understand. Exams are not hard. You have to invest a lot of time studying and doing the homework, if you want to get a good grade.
Class turns out to be easier than I thought it would be. 3 tests, all multiple choices. Extra credit is given online and she sometimes curves the grades on the test. Her lectures just goes over the slides so attendance isn't required
Love love love Ayanna! She is the best! She is straightforward, knowledgeable, organized, funny and engaging in class. A&P is a lot of memorization and her exams are not too bad. Just study! The homework is easy as well. She is one of the best professor's I've had.
I love this professor soooooo much. I took her for Bio 182 (was supposed to do 181 first but all sections were closed, so she allowed me to take 182 first which really helped). She's extremely upbeat and understanding. Very personable. Probably the sweetest, happiest professor around. I wish she taught the labs too bcI would pick her immediately!
Super easy professor and gives lots of extra credit. You shouldn't get below a B if you try hard. I rarely went to class and still managed to get an A and A- (180 and 181) because of the slides she posted online.
Sweet and approachable professor. She explains the material really well in class,and always has time for our questions in class. She curves the grade and gives extra credit. IF one will STUDY all her slides, do the required H.W + extra credit(its a bit hard but can add 5 points to your regular test and 10 to final exam) you can get an A or A-.
She is the worst professor and she doesnt provide enough information Not even study guides
This professor is AWESOME!!!!! She explains everything very well and makes it very easy for you to understand all of the information. The course is Very information dense, but its doable if you allocate enough time to studying. She curves exam grades and gives plenty of extra credit opportunities too. Take her, you wont regret it!!
I took a lecture class with her and it was the most difficult class I had. It was boring because she spoke for the wholeee 3 hrs but shes a great professor if the class was more intimate but sadly it just wasn't. I wasn't able to learn in a large environment so I rarely went.
Amazing professor! she is so sweet and gives lots of extra credit to boost your grade! Powerpoint slides are a lot but if you study them you should be fine! I highly recommend.
a true gem at lehman! bio is a hard subject but she makes sure that her students understand. She even gives extra credit and has workshops for reviews. Take her for bio, shes one of the sweetest.
Professor Alexander, is a great Bio Prof here at Lehman! Although, the lecture can be pretty heavy, you have to put in your part. You really don't have to attend lecture because she doesn't take attendance, but she will explain the material in a way you can understand it! I am most definitely taking her for A&P 2!
She is very nice but lectures are heavy. Lecture consists of her going over slides. 2 midterms and 1 final, but she curves the tests sometimes. The material is heavy but if you pay attention in lecture & study well on your own you will do fine. She gives extra credit too.
Best bio teacher at lehman. If you can't take her don't take the class. she's caring, gives extra credit and wants to see all her students pass. super smart and funny. always at her office hours. its a huge class so she doesn't really get to answer emails, just talk to her in person. BEST PROF EVER!!!
Professor is tough at first but once you get going she is absolutely great. She is teaching A and P, not ABC's. It will be hard due to the subject but she makes it better with her expectations and teachings. Great attitude.
The worst professor ever! She literally gets paid to read to you, she's so useless and cannot teach. You're basically teaching yourself and her study guides are useless. Would rate her a big fat 0.
Dr. A is the BEST! So smart and loves her students. Always happy to engage and encourage. The class is hard just because it is so much information, but Dr. A makes it so bearable. Has 3 exams but gives previous exams as practice which has a lot of same questions so def do those. Best professor EVER. Gives extra credit and curves.
SHE'S THE BEST! I can't wait to take her again next semester. Anatomy is hard, but she makes things easy for her students. Not an Easy A, but do what you have to do and you'll get the grade you deserve! She's AMAZING.
Ayanna is literally best she understands that most of her students are nursing majors and does everything in her power to give you an A, she wants everyone to do well so that you can excell and make it into the NURSING PROGRAM! Most professors should take notes from her, her reviews for each exam, make sure you study them, they will appear on exams
Whoever doesn't like her is simply INSANE. Shes extremely sweet, truly cares for her classes. If she feels something isn't fair, she will address it right away. Need to purchase online course for homework but you need it for lab anyways. wish she taught every science course. truly an incredible soul. Second time taking her.
Dr. Ayanna ? AMAZING. I am so glad I had her for both 181 and 182. She is literally amazing i swear. This woman gives practice test, extra credit, easy homework, and so much more. She wants her students to pass , She knows that majority of her students are looking into nursing. She cares so much. If you fail this class it is literally your fault.
I never went to her lectures and studied on my own. She only grades through her exams and part is hw (complete it, grade on hw doesn't matter). A lot of memorizing.
You don't need to attend her lectures. She grades mainly based on exams, homework completion, and extra credit. She is nice and open to questions. I loved it, mainly because of convenience.
I took her for BIO181 and now for BIO182 because I just love the way she teaches. She's the most understanding professor ever and She just KNOWS HER STUFF! Her lectures may be long, but they're very interesting. She cares about her students a lot and wants her students to PASS. How I wish she taught microbiology! I would definitely take her again.
She is such an amazing professor! She makes the class so easy to pass. I like going to her class (even though it's not mandatory to attend because she only grades you based on your exams.) Would recommend everyone to take her class.
I love this Professor & is a gem within the CUNY network. She really makes sure that students understand concepts. Even though the lecture is long, she makes it very interesting with a bright demeanor. As long as you read over the slides before class and are prepared with any questions, you will pass. Got an A in both 181 and 182.
BEST PROFESSOR TO TAKE FOR BIO. SHE GIVES EXTRA CREDIT AND CURVES EXAMS. HER LECTURES ARE HEAVY BUT SHE VERY DETAILED AND GIVES GREAT EXAMPLES. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TAKING HER FOR A&P.
She is very helpful. She gives you three day to finish the exam. She will give you 10 points of extra credit and it goes towards to your lowest exam.
I have taken 3 different biology classes during my time in college & failed 2/3 of them. Professor Alexander-Street is AMAZING ! Her lectures are long but she explains everything & gives great examples for us to understand her recitations are also interesting. she is very easy to reach during office-hours or via e-mail. Take her class!
Shes an amazing professor! Lectures are not difficult, do your work & youll pass.
Professor A is the best! You have to take her if you are required to take BIO 181/182. She makes sure you understand the material that's assigned and her homework is super easy. Her exams are literally almost similar to her homework. I love the exams because they are always multiple choice. She has clear and precise due dates and is always clear!
I took Ayanna for both my BIO 181 and I just had to take her again for my BIO 182. She is very considerate with deadlines and explains topics very clearly. Great person , super caring!
The lectures are amazing!!
Professor. A is beyond AMAZING! She is a truly a gem. Her lectures may be long BUT theres never a dull moment, shes truly captivating and explains A&P so that the complex topic is easy to understand. She wants you to succeed and is super understanding. I wish she taught more Sciences & Nursing courses. You will not regret taking her!
Professor A is a very caring and knowledgeable professor! I took her for both A&P 1 and 2, and I can say that she is very understanding. While the lecture videos can be very heavy, they are very informative and prepare you well for the exams. There were also plenty of extra credit opportunities. Highly recommend taking her!
I took Professor Ayanna Alexander-Street back in Fall 2020 as an incoming freshman and all I can say is that she was and still is an amazing, respected, inspirational, and caring Professor. The student's voice truly matters to her. She gives amazing lectures although they are heavy. STUDY!!! Tests are fair because they are based on lectures & HW :)
Professor Ayanna Alexander-Street is truly an amazing Professor and person. She is very caring, helpful, and knowledgeable. Lectures are very heavy but they will truly help you prepare for when exams come around! Please study, review, and practice questions! Through this, you'll be just fine. Also, she's nice enough to give extra credit if needed!
Do not take Ayanna's classes. Horrible grading system, and her classes are all very lecture heavy and boring. You are better off going to another professor. Save yourself and do yourself the favor of going to another professor!
Ayanna is an amazing professor, her online lectures were definitely long and heavy, but she manages to explain everything well. The class is not impossible to pass, just read the textbook and study, you'll pass!
My class was asynchronous and while the notes are really heavy and you do spend ALOT of time on them. Dr. Street takes the time to explain what to do for the class. Her tone during the lecture videos is fantastic; she isn't dull or dry and makes sure that understand fully. She is also very reachable with emails and office hours.
not going to lie, her lectures are HEAVY. wow, i'm just a freshman and i just finished my first semester. online is so hard but her assignments makes it even harder since it's online. in person would of probably been better. but professor's A's lectures are heavy and a lot of reading. just make you study from outlines and homework questions.
AMAZINGGGGG take her she's the best professor at lehman and the most understanding science course professor EVER!!!
Due to her class being asynchronous it made my other classes flexible. The assignments and exams are time consuming so be prepared, study efficiently, and don't do anything last minute.
She provides a lot of help, study guides, practice for the exams and three tries until you get a 100% for hw. Had to purchase pearsonmylab that's where you access hw but exams are on blackboard. But you have to do your part and study to score good Biology is a lot of info. Taking her again for spring. I honestly think she's the best bio lecture.
She is very caring, even tho we were asynch her lecture videos made it seem like it was in present time. She provides a bunch of videos and help for exams, homework, etc. Weekly lectures average about 3-4 hours but very informative, engaging, and helpful. I learned a lot from her and she was one of the best professors I've ever had.
Had her for online(asynchronous). She provided recorded lecture of the chapters. I think that she is the best option you can get for A&P 181 and 182. No quiz. 3 exams 70 minutes/75 questions. Final 100 questions 1 1/2 hours it's cumulative, but NO new questions. All questions will be taken from exam 1-3. no curve. Hw on Pearson. Exams on BB.
I LOVED THIS PROFESSOR! I had this class asynchronous/online but she was very interactive and quick to answer questions through email. She made learning easy by providing videos on BB and extra practice questions. Her class is not too hard and she definitely is very helpful. Definitely recommend taking her class!!
She's very clear on what she's grading, just do the work and keep up. she gives a lot of time to complete the work.
She's literally the sweetest professor. The curriculum is lecture heavy but she explains it in a way that I understand. The lecture videos are so long but she attaches an outline that you can go through.
take this professor for bio181/182. She is amazing and always answers emails! Bio is a hard class but she makes it more understanding and manageable.
Good professor. Took her for BIO181 and currently taking her for BIO182. Her stuff is not hard but the lectures are very long. Lectures are online and can be done on your own time. Did not have to contact her because she makes everything so clear. She makes Bio so easy. Highly recommended.
Sigh... Ayanna is the NICEST professor you will ever encounter and she is extremely fair. Be aware tho this class if difficult and you NEED to dedicate time to study the slides, memorize them like the back of your hand. It is only two exams and personally I feel way too much information for a regular human to memorize.
Ayanna is a great professor - fair and nice. Her lectures are thorough and she simplifies complex concepts well. This course is LECTURE HEAVY with long PowerPoints and you HAVE to memorize and understand the information on those slides. Her exams are tough, but if you study the slides THOROUGHLY, I promise you that you will not do terrible.
Ayanna is amazing with her lectures, and explanations. Great professor, although the lecture is online, lab is in person with all the exams in person as well. Exams are really tough but you need to understand the concepts in your best ability
SWEETEST person ever and so fair. For the love of god please MEMORIZE THE SLIDES, it is all you need to pass this class.
This professor is such a sweetheart. She is very caring and has amazing energy. Her lectures are very interesting and her expectations are clear. There isn't much work to this class, which I like because you can focusing on learning content rather than just studying to memorize.
I love love LOVEEEE this professor. She is a professor that every college student needs in their life. I never met her in person, but I just know that her energy in person would be even more better than the online lectures. I do feel like I would learn better in person but she is a great online instructor. I love her.
Good professor ! just a lot of material and extremely long lectures and slides but if you use the resources you have that she gives, you should be able to pass the class.
Can't say much since this is an async-online class but she seems very chill. She understands the struggle that students face with this difficult course and gives more-than-enough time to complete assignments. I would highly recommend her as your lecture professor for both BIO 181 & 182 (Anatomy and Physiology I & II).
Prof. Ayanna is an amazing professor! This was an online-asynch class but I can say that this professor is very dedicated to teaching and I wish I had the chance to take a class with her in person. She's not trying to trick/trap students. All you have to do is read the notes, do the homework, and you will be fine on the exams.
She is nice but you have to buy expensive textbook over 100 dollars, she do not make class difficult
impossible to not get 100% on hw, just do it, and the curve is crazy, if you're a regular smart person ur set.
Only meet online
there is alot of studying in this class, as for any lecture based class. shes great though, she doesnt grade roughly and she understands you. theres no zoom or mandatory calls. you do the work on your own time.
Good professor, solid lectures most the time. Half the time it's really great explanations that makes the world feel known, other half of the time you're like, HUH? cause she's literally just reading off slides 0 elaboration. STUDY. Great course. Drop the class if you can't dedicate your life to A&P. Not a course you should take if isn't required.
Easy to pass this course
Easy to pass the lecture .
amazing and great she is. many homework assignments, but she helps. take her she is among the best prof et Lehman. she should be a nursing prof. because she brings love and compassion to people.
