exams are hardest ever 30 multiple choice which are tricky, 9 hard ass short answers. lab is not so hard but hw is expected + obviously quiz every lab. If you have to take this prof. you better read the book multiple times cause you won't even have time to copy her slides down, and bring your phone to the class. At least she let you take the pic

This teacher is the worst biology teacher. She does not know how to teach and if you dont read the textbook you will fail her class. Other biology teachers are much better at least they give you slides and a lecture in class but she picks out the most detailed things from the book.

Professor Azure is there for her students whenever they need her. She takes time out of her schedule to tutor you if you ask her. If you need tutoring for one hour she will do that too!

Dr Faucette made bio 12 easy to accomplish. It was the short winter session and only 2 full days per week but her lectures were on point. A&P is not a "fun class" the work has to be put in the reading must be done and absences are out of the question. my only disappointment is that she is not going to be my nutrition teacher next semester.

This is an example of professors who shouldn't be in the business. Teaching is a job a motivational thing, she never has anything positive to say bad attitude about her in general, very unpleasant. Only reads slides, no access to power points, have to hand write power points down if you want them. Hard to understand the material with her.

What u receive in class is basic facts, further explanations only if u ask, and are expected to master it all come exam time. Good luck!

Good, committed, consciencious teacher. Hard, but good sense of humor; she's "real". I liked her a lot, except on her couple grumpy days. Found her class harder than my Bio 11 teacher but I learned more, too. The "real-life cases" really get critical thinking going. Lectures are maybe TOO comprehensive, would benefit from more focus.

Took Professor Faucette and didn't know what to really expect from her at the beginning semester. But, she has become my favorite professor at Kbcc. She has a really funny and nerdy personality and made A&P II so fun but challenging. If you really want to ace her class, study the slides she gives and make sure to understand the concepts internally.

I took BIO12 with professor Faucette - it was not an easy class, but interesting. If you put work into it, do all the assignments, read before class - you will do fine. People were complaining a lot, but you can't sit night before the exam and ace BIO12. She also gives extra credit - which is great to boost the grade.

She told the class that no one should ever work in the allied health field, which I believe is unprofessional and discourteous. She also said that she got a C, so people shouldn't complain about the average score in the class being 50%. The average score should be seen as reflective of her teaching ability, she needs to help the students not hurt.

This class under Prof Azure Faucette is CATASTROPHIC!!! I only wish I had dropped it the day I learned the bad reviews, they are accurate. The exams are at the level of grad-school intercellular bio-chemistry (with detailed description requiraments) while in the class she is teaching basic A&P. Even though I dropped the class, it caused me PTSD.

dr. Faucette was my first professor in my college career in which I seriously thought she had my back, not only did she give the class numerous extra credit opportunities but the tests and quizzes were straight from the material given. Made me into anatomy again.

She is the worst professor , I have ever had. This is my second degree, I m pursuing at Kingsborough. Some people only need bio 12 for their major. We are not majoring in bio, She teaches bio on a Master's degree level.I would NOT RECOMMEND THIS PROFESSOR FOR BIO12.

Her teaching methods are great. Very clear and concise. As a student, you feel pushed to learn and try out new competencies. She is very thoughtful professor who puts a lot of thought into how she presents the material. She's also a total professional beyond being organized and punctual. I'm thrilled to have her class.

Read these reviews before taking the class and was terrified but honestly she really wasn't bad, she makes her grading criteria very clear from the start, and is more than willing to clarify anything you're confused about on tests/ lab reports. She's tough on grading but once you know what it is she's looking for it gets easier!

Professor Faucette was great! She is professional, her lectures are very entertaining, and she definitely knows her stuff and is passionate about science. If you actually want to learn, I recommend taking her, but you have to put in the work for a good grade. She is fair and gives lots of extra credit and chances for you to succeed in her class.

Dr. Faccette set clear expectations from day one. Skating through this class is not an option. She assigns homework for every lab and does a quiz every class based off the homework. Her exams are a mixture of multiple choice and fill in the blank. She is smart and funny but you won't be laughing if you don't put in the work.

She made a comment about being black and poor which made students feel VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. She goes off on a tangent every 5 minutes and is just not professional at all, if this is who kingsborough has representing them; this is NOT OKAY. Bio12 is hard enough but she genuinely makes it UNBEARABLE.

Focused on enforcing rigid rules than fostering a supportive learning environment. Makes rude comments can make class feel tense. Offers extra credit but deducts points for small mistakes. Grading feels overly harsh discouraging when minor errors significantly impact grades. I wouldn't recommend her unless you're ready to deal w/ added stress.

Oh god where to begin. Not enough characters. Professor literally said "I enjoy stressing my students" and "A student walked out on me last week" in lab one time. Why would you gloat about that? During extra credit, she made my lab partner cry for a stupid small reason AND IT WAS EXTRA CREDIT! Anyway, $1500 down the drain. I'd rate -5 if I could.

Yes this class was difficult, but here's everything you should know before taking it: there's a LOT of extra credit ranging from pop quizzes to group work in lab- this will only HELP your grade. You will be reading around 40-100 or more pages a week (modules). Doing the lab homework is OPTIONAL, but it helps! Lowest quiz/test grades are taken down.

tbh by the end of the term I was disappointed with how grading was handled. trying to understand how she grades is very confusing. If you're sure you want to take her, I would suggest attending during regular session rather than the winter session. This teacher can be difficult to work with, half of my class dropped before the 3rd exam.

I took this class during a winter semester so it was even more intense. However, I think this professor is extremely clear on how you are graded. She was very generous with the extra credits from pop quizzes to lab assignments. Overall, if you did the work by doing review sheets and watching videos and taking notes, you should be fine.

A lot of chapters cover a very short period, making it difficult. I enjoyed the class with the professor, who encouraged the students who did not do well (myself)after the exam to try hard next time. Extra credit given,exam and quiz lower grade dropped. Making a joke here and there made 3 hours of labs go faster and a little more enjoyable.

Very sarcastic to students who didn't always get the material you would think if you're there to LEARN the professor will TEACH you But no,she reads off the slides. You can do that at home emphasizes things she knows are important, gets an attitude when you don't get it right No one wants to go somewhere to better themselves and deal with that b.s.

She makes college harder than it needs to be. She openly shares her hardships and seems to take them out on students. Grading is harsh, quizzes are rushed, and exams focus on minor details. Emails are met with rude responses. No extra credit. As an A student, I got my first B because of her. Avoid her class if you can—she adds unnecessary stress.

Listen good. Run far away. She is very rude and takes points off for everything. Anyone who gave her good reviews are not being honest…they might not even be students. She's not funny, not helpful and not willing to help. She is a complete disappointment to my grades. All A's except her. Her labs and quiz and exam materials don't match at all. Run!

By far the worst professor I have ever come in contact with. She will tell other students your personal business. She has been reported twice (that I am aware of) and the department has done nothing. She hates all students, if she gets asked a question she gets angry and has an attitude ALL the time. Forget teaching, she only reads her lectures.

this class is very challenging. the professor is extremely strict with grading even if your answers are correct, you can lose points if you're not worded exactly the way she expects. you have to watch a lot of long videos to answer lab assignments, and if you miss small details or add anything extra, points will be taken off.

BE READY TO SPEND A LOT OF TIME STUDYING. Prof. Faucette is a really funny and knowledgeable prof that you will not be bored in class. She also gives lots of extra credits (but you need to study for them!) This class is definitely not an “easy A” class, you need to work really hard to get it. Tips for this class: read and do all study questions!

Very discouraging teaching style. Grading felt unfair and asking questions often led to annoyed or dismissive responses, which made it hard to learn or seek help. The class environment was more shaming than supportive, especially for a difficult subject like A&P.
