I have no idea why this teacher has such a good rep. She just re-reads her notes-she DOESN'T actually teach. Her tests come straight from the notes, so if you memorize her horrible notes you should pass. She is, however, great about extra credit.

She is very clear on what you need to know & her tests do not try to trick you. If you don't pass her class with and a or b you can only blame yourself. The downside is that she spends way too much time chatting about irrelevant info, but I wouldn't take anyone but her from A&P or Microbiology!!

I'm in the majority here, but found the class to be a downer. No importance whatsoever is placed on teaching with regard to health-related applications. Self-written, illustrationless book is just an outline of lectures. Memorization is key to passing class. Attending class is pretty much a waste of time. Too bad. Low quality learning experience.

She is easier than easy.Take her if you want to get only 'A's, and do not if you want to learn for future. She is moody, reads straight from her notes, and with 1 hour of studying daily, even a 14 year old can pass her tests. Her classes are sleep aids. For nursing, take her A&P, Micro and you'll get a 4.0 GPA that'll get you right into Nursing.

I wouldn't recommend taking her class, it's the equivalent of taking an online class. You have to teach yourself because she explains it in no other way other than regurgitating her notes. She isn't helpful, or knowledgeable about the subject she teaches. The highest grade in the class couldn't pass her Gordon rule requirement. What a waste of time

Ketchams class was by far the hardest class I've ever taken. Tests came directly from the notes, which you have to know EVERY piece of information from the notes. Each test contained 20-25 pages of notes. I work full time and was taking 2 other classes, and got a B. I do not recommend this teacher at all, especially if you are a visual learner.

I took Ketcham for Micro, A&P 1 and A&P2. The classes themselves, no matter WHO YOU TAKE, are difficult. But if your going into the health field you honestly NEED to know all the material. So for those of you complaining about having to know the highlighted notes, get over it. She is a fantastic teacher and I always highly recommend her to everyone

She is a great teacher. I took her A&P1 + 2 and Micro and now I'm in the nursing program at USF and appreciate her even more-I could not ask for better preparation. She is very clear about her expectations and very organized with her lectures. For those who want to go to nursing -take her class, study hard, and one day you will be grateful.

All the tests were multiple choice, and all of the questions come from the material you cover in class, plus she gives extra credit on each test. Her lectures can be a little boring, as she reads from the notes (which she wrote & are purchased at the bookstore); however, she's very clear and informative.

she wants you to know everything in her notes, its a load of information that no one could get that easy but when you ask for help from her she stands there with a smile at you like you are an idiot, notes are long and have every single info from the book but with NO pics to explain or anything to make you understand what is she talking about.

This is college people and this class is really geared towards those interested in medicine. That being said I LOVED the class and Dr. Ketcham. She will help clarify information for you when needed! Definitely read and study as the tests are hard!

5 tests, 50 multiple choice questions and extra credit. Everything comes from her notes that are 5$ at the bookstore. Don't really need the textbook. Lab tests are a little harder because it's not multiple choice but there are still extra credit questions. Just MAKE SURE you study. If you know her review sheet, you'll get an A on the tests.

Very clear about her expectations. Very easy to understand. Don't need a book, she teaches directly from preprinted notes. Study her review sheets well, and you will do well. I really liked her class.

I took her for microbiology and A&P one. Both her classes were done exactly the same way. Her lectures consist of her reading her notes to you word for word while you read along with her. There is a lot of memorization and no visuals what so ever. The labs are fill in the blank and spelling counts. most of the class dropped or failed.

Would take again

Very direct with what material is on tests. It's a ton of info, but she gives you the exact info you will need. Doesn't require attendance but she will keep that in mind with your final grade and you get to review material before each new lecture. One of the most thorough educators I have ever had. Not easy material but very well explained.
