The class is very in depth but she makes class SUPER fun. You will find yourself laughing with or at her because she does make nerdy jokes. Hello obterator! Like with other professors, there is a quiz every week so show up. Study hard at home and use the open labs and you should do well.
I heard she only teaches this class, so I purposely failed the course just to have her again.
Very fun and helpful. Def reccomend taking her or gigi schulte for lab for 112. they make the hard course managable. use the open lab time wisely
She is AWESOME!! If I could take her for all my science labs I would! She is EXTREMELY helpful, she explains everything and if you ask she is excited to help! She's young and funny and even gives a helpful review before our weekly quizes! go to office hours and open lab. Great Professor!
Choron is not only cutesie, she is very smart and FUNNY. She is serious about teaching YOU. Choron will never leave you hanging if you do not completely understand a concept. Show up to labs, ask questions and you will do great.
Mrs. Choron will definitely care for your success. She is an amazing teacher. Take her lab class, you won't regret.
She is funny, animated, hip, and young. She knows her stuff and is through the moon to help her students. The content is hard so study and go to open lab- heck study in open lab, even if you just go to read the book. Choron goes above and beyond and even spends extra hours helping on the weekends. Quiz every week, lecture in lab, and some hands on.
Hands down, Charon is one of the most amazing professors I have had. She's helpful, cares about her students, and will go above and beyond. I wouldn't take anyone else for Bio lab. With that said, you still need to go to open lab and study before each quiz in order to do well on the exams. I had friends rearrange their schedule to take her.
The best thing to happen to the biology department is Choron! If you don't take her labs, then you're just cutting yourself short. She makes me wanna be a better student.
She is amazing! You will not regret taking her class!
Makes class interesting and fun
Choron was fun, funny, and fair.
Choron is the best teacher I have ever had. She's sweet, amazingly helpful and understanding, and definitely knows her field. The course is difficult if you don't pay attention in class and study outside of class just because there is so much information to know. Attend open labs!! I made it a point to keep Choron as my lab teacher for BIO112.
I can't say enough good things about Choron. She is extremely knowledgeable about the subject, explains things excellently, she's kind and helpful - everything you could want in an instructor.
The class is amazing. Before i thought that lab will be hard for me, but it did not. she is there to help students and explain the lectures in the way that everyone can understand it and can catch up on it. i recommend this class to everyone. remember, ask questions. she loves to help everyone in class.
Choron makes you want to learn more. She is so passionate about what she is teaching and presents the information well, and makes it easier to understand. I would highly suggest taking lab andor lecture with her. The class is hard, but she is so helpful. I have nothing negative to say about her.
Great teacher and tons of fun! Don't skip lectures too often or it will reflect in your grade. But she's always available and ready to help.
Choron is great! I had her as my Anatomy 112 lecture professor. She gives fill in the blank notes and really specific study guides. As long as your willing to put in the time to study you should do fine!
The class was hard because it was 5 weeks and it was a LOT of anatomical memorization. To pass, one will have to attend class, study, and go to open lab. Choron is extremely passionate about teaching. She gives extra credit and tells you what you will need to know for tests and quizzes. She's funny and energetic! You'll want to come to class.
By far, the best professor that I have taken at UAA. Professor Ryan is so passionate about what she is teaching and she is able to express difficult concepts in terms that students can understand and grasp. Even if you're not particularly interested in A&P, you'll probably feel different after taking her class. Also offers extra credit!
Choron Ryan is by far my favorite teacher I've ever had! She's hilarious, but sticks to the topic. She does a lot for her students and helps them in anyway possible. She also gives out very helpful mnecomics and does the: "you MAY need to know this! *wink*" thing. This class is all memorizing! Attend open lab and study your models!!
Choron was one of the best teachers ever. She will do everything in her power to help you succeed. You have to put in the work though. You will not pass if you do not show up to class.
Anatomy is a tough class! Put fourth the effort and you will succeed, I had a 78 after the curve and expressed how hard I worked and she bumped be to a solid 80! Talk to her about your difficulties and interact with other students.
Ryan is very specific on what is on the tests. She gives study guides that the tests are based off on and correspond to the powerpoints she creates. She really wants to see her students succeed. Grade is based off of 3 tests.
Choron is the GREATEST prof I've ever had in my entire life. She is so specific on what you need to know for tests if you ask her. She also gives study guides for all of the tests/lectures. She is the cutest, most energetic prof out there. She wants her students to do well. She is so enthusiastic and hilarious. I wish I could take every class w/her
BEST PROFESSOR EVER. Had been warned the class was impossibly hard. She made it cake! Insanely helpful, straightforward, super nice, & approachable, + corny jokes. I got a very low D on my first exam, talked to her, then got an A on the second one. Take notes on pop quizzes, follow study guides & you'll do great! One exam left & i'll be done :)
Choron Ryan is an amazing A&P lecture professor. She has all of her powerpoint and even makes study guides online which is so helpful. She also will help you learn things with little riddles in class and make jokes to make things easier to remember. Anatomy is a hard class no matter what but she really was a great prof.
Prof Ryan wants you to succeed. It's obvious why her classes fill up so fast making it nearly impossible to get into them. She is so straightforward. You have to put in work but if you do, you will easily get an A. She makes this rigorous class entertaining and fun and doable. I never skipped one class. She is so respected by students as well.
She's so adorable! She went to Yale so she knows what she's talking about and she finds a way to put an exciting twist on everything. She's very understanding but knows how to lay the law down if needed. It's a very difficult class, loads of memorization. But if this is a big part of your major and you have to take it, she's the teacher for you.
she's a cheerful teacher and explains ideas and concepts in ways that you will understand. i didn't go to class that often because just taking notes of the powerpoints and study guides online worked for me, but she is a good lecture teacher to have.
First off, Choron is a hilarious professor who shows she cares about her students' success in A&P in any way that she can. Her lectures are never boring. She gives ungraded pop quizzes at the end of every lesson and many of those quiz questions appear on the exams, so it is VERY important to attend class. Overall, great professor, great class!
Professor Ryan was an outstanding teacher. I would definitely take any class she offered if I had the opportunity.
Professor Ryan is an awesome teacher! Waking up early, I always felt tired but not with her. She makes her lectures fun to listen to but study hard. Don't recommend buying the book as ALL of her study materials are on her slides.
She is an excellent teacher and made lab as fun as it could be. She was always cheerful and excited to teach, and her explanations were very helpful. Be sure to study the slides. I highly recommend her as for A&P lab!
She was the best professor I have ever had by far . I wish she taught more than one subject. She explains concepts in ways anyone can understand and is overly animated when she's excited about the information she's about to tell you.
Professor Ryan is just incredible! She makes you want to learn by her enthusiasm and energy. If you get the opertunity to get into her class, you won't regret it. But know that the course itself is not easy, but she makes herself available for her students. She is a wonderful, encouraging and hilarious.
Choron is UAA's hidden gem! Arrange your schedule to take her classes. She knows the content, is SO helpful, and has a great energy in lecture. She gives questions at the end of lecture which helps you figure out if you understand the concept, as well as held a study session for the final on HER WEEKEND. Like, what? She's that wonderful!
Amazing teacher! I wish she taught other classes too. Her classes fill up quickly so make sure you register early!
I really enjoyed this class with Choron. She was helpful with explaining something you didn't understand. It would be wise to attend every class because sometimes she gives extra info the text does not touch upon. The textbook, I suggest you still read the chapters ahead of time, so you'll understand the lectures.
Great explanations, funny, and understanding
Choron is hilarious and she truly wants everyone to succeed! She is one of my favourite professors!
Choron was an AMAZING anatomy and physiology teacher. She made the long lectures fun and the tests aren't hard as long as you study her study guides she makes for each exam. Don't bother wasting the money on the book, but buy the online version for cheaper (ebook) because she assigns extra credit through it and it is all really easy! Really great.
She is perfect in every way! She really wants her students to succeed and it shows in her lectures. She is the best professor I've had during my 3 years at UAA so far. Just make sure you show up to class and keep up with the material.
Prof Ryan is 110% THE best thing about UAA. A&P is NOT easy, but Choron wants you to "get it" so she sets extra office hours, pop quizzes, and study guides to help you succeed. She makes all the material fun to learn, with jokes and mnemonics. If you have the chance to take her, you'll be in GREAT hands. Study the slides and use the guides!!!
Basically you have 4 exams, the lowest grade of which will be removed. This helps you get the best grade possible. She's super understanding and goes way above the call of duty. Makes study guides, has informal study groups, and posts all lecture material (minus pop quizzes) on blackboard. SHE IS AMAZING!!
Choron is a highly respected professor at UAA and I found her lectures to be a lot of fun! The material is heavy and towards the end of the lecture your eyelids will start to feel a bit heavy due to the content, but I swear if it wasn't any other professor I would have easily fallen asleep within the first five minutes! Go to class for test hints!
Choron Ryan, with a very down to earth personality, you immediately feel comfortable around her. She is always helpful and will make time outside of class to meet with you. She is hilarious and has many funny stories to shares with the class, and good study habits that personally worked for me. I would recommend taking her for your first BIO 111!!!
Choron is a perfect blend of someone who has good teaching instincts and a passion for their subject matter. Her lectures are geared to prepare you for the exams, she offers specific "pop-quiz" questions that you only get if you go to class, and she supplements topics with relevant side stories. Smart. Dedicated. Fun. Lab? Lecture? Take her!
She is awesome. Gives you hint before quizes. Go to lad hours for practices and reviews. quizzes and tests are relevent to to slides. she is funny and super nice.
She is a fantastic teacher and gets to know her students personally. She wants every student to pass and will help them understand if they aren't understanding a chapter. I put a 4/5 on the "Hard Scale" not because she is a hard teacher but because the class is hard itself. Be prepared to spend a lot of time studying and finding a good way to study
Ryan is easily hands down the best professor I have had at UAA yet! Don't be fooled the class is an extremely hard subject and they do expect a lot out of you on exams but Ryan made class enjoyable and I looked forward to going to class every week. There are weekly quizzes but she gives hints before each one. Her lectures are amazing & super funny!
I LOVE RYAN. If you get into her class, stay where you are and praise the good Lord because you now have one of the best, if not THE best, gem in all of UAA. Sweet, caring, funny, intelligent, and down to earth. It only takes one amazing professor to change your outlook on a subject or field of study, Choron helped me learn to love anatomy!!
Prof. Ryan is an outstanding instructor! She is very entertaining and keeps the class on their toes. There are daily quizzes but if you study, shouldn't be to difficult. She also provides assistance with studying tips and help with assignments. She is a really nice woman; anyone can tell she loves what she does & she does it well! Highly recommend!
I love this woman! Excellent teacher and human being!
Just go
Listen. TAKE HER AT ALL COSTS. Even if you have to drop/switch around other classes, TAKE HER AT ALL COSTS. She goes above and beyond and makes A&P doable. I for example, didn't have a biology background from HS. I got an A on all her exams. You still have to work hard and memorize the same amount, but the way she teaches it, TAKE HER AT ALL COSTS
Professor Ryan is one of a kind! She is smart, funny, entertaining, and overall just a great proffesor! She really helps students, especially if they're not understanding certain information, she'd stay late after class just to answer questions of students who may not understand something. She is one of the best professors I've ever had!
Prof Ryan has a lot of character, she's full of sarcasm and cheesy jokes. she's really good about letting you know what to study, her pop quizzes are study guides and makes understanding the material easy. Go to lecture a little early as she like to tell tidbits both funny and applicable.
I am very lucky to have Choron as my A&P professor. She makes this class fun with her enthusiasm and cheesy jokes! She really cares for her students and gives you really helpful tips and pop quiz questions in order to pass the class! I HIGHLY recommend her and would be a so nice if I can have her again for A&P112, but she will be on a sem break.
Choron is an amazing teacher. Her excitement and enthusiasm for anatomy makes it fun to learn. She simplifies things without making you feel stupid. She is very helpful and gives great tips and advice for school and life problems.
I love Choron. AN Amazing professor. She is willing to teach you if you dont understand something. She lets you know what to expect what is on the test or exam beforehands, and she review the materials. She is funny and chill. Sad that she wont have the class this Fall 2018
Choron is the best professor I have ever had. She is so sweet and wants everyone to receive As. Her study guides are very good to fill out and study off of before an exam. If you pay attention in class, you should be able to get an A! She is hilarious and if you ask her a question, she will do her absolute best to answer it.
Prof Ryan is one of the best teachers suited for a BIO class! Her lectures are easy to follow, and she tries to make them somewhat entertaining to listen to. After the first exam, she offered an in-person group on how to study for her exams, which was SO HELPFUL! It made a huge difference! She is a tough grader, but she wants you to understand.
Shes AMAZING! Took Online lecture with her and her voice lectures are so good, its as if you are sitting in class with her! The material is challenging but she does a great job to get you where you need to be. You get what you put into the course, tons of studying! Work had, put the effort in and youll to just fine!
Choron has a great love for biology. She's very passionate about it and doesn't just read her slides verbatim. Expect puns and corny jokes. You're only graded on 3 exams, plus lab. The lowest score is dropped. Attendance isn't mandatory, but is recommended. You WILL have to study; there's a lot of material to learn. Flashcard apps helped me a lot.
Choron is the best teacher I have had at UAA. The material is difficult. But she makes it interesting and feel manageable and will encourage you every step of the way. I am so grateful to have gotten her as my prof, if you can I would wait until you can make sure it is her you are working with if you have the time.
Prof. Ryan is amazing! She breaks down complex human systems into ways any learner can understand. She will answer any question respectfully. There are many extra credit opportunities, and she offers helpful study sessions before exams. You can tell she wants her students to succeed. She gives timely feedback, and she makes herself available.
Professor Ryan is hilarious, smart, caring, and definitely provides her students with all of the materials they need to succeed. She gives study guides based off the lectures and her test questions are all based off of the study guides. She is fun, energetic, and showing up to class will help you pass, guaranteed.
Choron gives extremely good lectures that keep things interesting and is always offering to help you succeed. Didn't use my book at all because she explains things so thoroughly and makes her test using the slides you go over in class. Make it to class and you'll pass!
Her lectures are upbeat, funny and energetic. She's very realistic with explaining how to be successful. Read her weekly announcement emails. She makes a genuine effort to answer all questions and is never disrespectful. Seriously, go to class and don't skip - it will help you for exams. She's the best instructor I've had at UAA.
Great professor hard topic
Highly recommend! I wish she would teach all my classes. Love her enthusiasm and makes the lectures so relevant and straightforward. Also loved that she was very clear about what would be on the exams.
I had her online Human Biology class and it was great. Awesome lecture videos and quizzes. The tests were a piece of cake if you study your quiz results.
Spr 19, Online. LecturesSuccess. A+P is super hard anywhere- She made it bearable. No better hands than Prof Ryan. Funny, smart, accessible, helpful, great explainer, best lecture vids. Class w/ lab felt like 6-7 credits- plan accordingly. Work your butt off to get an A. Your odds are best w/ Ryan. Get ready to learn.
The absolute BEST professor you can have for A&P. She explains material in an easy to understand way and I can't stop recommending her to new students. I really wish she was teaching A&P 2 when I needed to take it because shes just so amazing and really set my expectations high for professors.
Prof Ryan is one of the best science teachers I've ever had. Her lectures are funny and interesting and she gives lots of opportunity for extra credit. Look forward to taking another one of her classes in the future.
Ms. Ryan is the best teacher I have ever had, she truly loves teaching students about the body, while still making it fun & exciting. She definitely keeps you entertained with her jokes, so the lectures are rarely ever boring. Her exams are EXACTLY what her objectives list from the slides and from previous quizzes you will take.
Choron cares about her students on such a personal level. She is an amazing professor and wants you to pass. She will go above and beyond to make sure her students understand what is going on. Her tests are tricky, but if you pay attention to the lectures and take notes on the slides you will have everything you need to study for.
Hands down my favorite professor I had during my prerequisites. She went above and beyond to make sure you understand all the information presented. Gives plenty of extra credit.
Choron makes this extremely difficult class very accessible and the support she gives to her students is unprecedented. Her lectures are thorough and clearly explained. She has very clear and solid boundaries about her expectations but goes above and beyond to give her students everything they need to meet them. I cannot recommend her enough!
Professor Ryan is awesome. Super respectful, kind, and caring. Her assignments are fun, and she makes class engaging and interesting. Probably one of the best professors I've had.
This professor truly cares about her students. She was with us every step of the way for A&P 2, and gave us every opportunity to achieve the grade that we worked for. 10/10 would take her class again, she is amazing!!!
Wants all her students to succeed, and all of us mainly do. It's a heavy-memorization class but A&P is always like that. Unlike UAA, the grading is fair and she prefers the spelling of anatomical terms to be phonetically close, but we don't need to fully memorize the correct spelling which helps a lot. Very engaging as well, love her!!
Choron is the absolute best teacher I have ever had in my life. She brings memes and funniness which helps make connections in ways you never thought possible. She makes a really hard and strenuous subject, farely simple to understand, and she is more understanding and amazing. than we students deserve.
