She is a first time professor. At first, she was a little scatter brained, but ultimately was very helpful and fair. she will make sure you know your material. her exam reviews may not have all of the questions that are on the exam, so read through the chapter a little. good professor though, but a little challenging.

Dr. C... is an easy way out professor! You will not learn and the exams are administered by other professors so therefore, you are on your own if you dnt study everything!! Also, she teaches the class like a lecture not a lab.. NO HANDS ON!! An easy A but you will regret it in the long run.

She is an okay teacher but tries really hard. Her class was SO easy. She really works with the students and gives a word bank to study before the exam which is so helpful. Her reviews are very helpful. You cannot be late or you get points off your grade. If anatomy is not your thing, take her. You will do well.

Not very clear. Very hispanic pronunciations of latin words. I only learned the material because I studied hard outside of the class. Lab? No. Just additional, long lectures with "dissections" of the brain and eye, which left much to be desired. Kind enough, and she does give extra credit for homework and attendance.

Attendance is a big grade factor. She verbally pop quizes everyone individually almost every class so you stay on top of your work. Easy homework but every assignment must be completed to get the percentage for your grade. If you are a good student who takes notes and pays attendance this will be a very easy A for you.

Strongly advised against taking her advance course. You will not have time to study for the lab (which is a very unforgiving course). 4 chapters/week and at least 100 questions/chapter. And that's if you get the questions right the first round. In order to get credit for the questions, you must answer them all, so you either get 100 or 0.

Her online BSC2085L course was so simple! Do about 15 (easy) quizzes and 9 (also easy) assignments relating to the quiz. Very straightforward and not difficult at all! I also found her to be very nice when responding to my emails. Just be kind to her and she will return the favor. Would totally recommend this course to anyone! :)

I have taken many science classes and at first I thought I was missing something. I thought this couldn't possibly be this easy. I promise you it is. Don't over think it. I took it online and completed the entire lab in a week. You honestly probably won't learn ANYTHING but if you like getting A's for doing almost nothing, she is perfect. I promise

I took her online class- getting an A is easy if you do all her assignments. She offers extra credit too. If you want a professor to engage with this is not the class for you. If you're taking this class so that you can apply it to nursing or such, you have to be very disciplined to teach it to yourself. This professor does minimal teaching.

Dr. Christensen was for all intents and purposes a fine professor. She mostly reads off of the slides. She'll do mini-reviews mid-lecture. If that's your learning style, great. After lecture, she quizzes each group on the corresponding anatomical model. We had 4 grades for the entire semester. There were a couple of opportunities for extra credit.

She is argumentative and difficult to deal with and her grading method is odd. You get a 100, or you get a 0. I got 100s on everything but 1 thing and it brought my grade down to a B.

Easiest A I've experienced as a student anywhere. You must get 100% on each assignment (online through the textbook publisher), but this is easy because you have multiple attempts and you have the option to see if your answer is correct (literal "check my answer" button). Quiz questions come straight from this. I wanted an easy A and I got one.
