Prof. Earls is not very clear in explaining things and she will brush over things in class making them appear as if they're not extremely important and then an entire test will have half of the questions on that topic. Be careful when you ask her a question because she will mess up the answer and confuse not only you, but herself as well.

Powerpoints are lengthy and wordy. Goes over material and then flips through slides quickly. Says she goes over everything in lecture but on tests it's more in depth and by means of the textbook.

Prof. Earls is a decent instructor, but there are better. Lectures can get confusing as she will spend 20 min on a topic and then say she got confused and had it backwards. This was a horrible way to learn. So watch out for this. Try to teach yourself the material and you will be better off. I got a B in the class thanks to me reading the book

I had the pleasure of having Anthony in the fall and Earls in the Spring, I can compare the 2 A&P professors. Earls' lectures are more detailed than Anthony's, they are also slower, more drawn out and less engaging. She allows you to use a laptop, which can be good unless you are easily distracted. Her tests are VERY difficult. Study up, buttercup.

Had for lab/lecture. She is phenomenal at explaining A&P and truly knows her stuff. Both lab/lecture are lecture heavy but I think it benefits for practicals/exams. She is super friendly and helpful, but seek help before it is too late! She made lab enjoyable for me this semester. You will not regret taking her for either lab or lecture.

She's a very rude woman who picks favortites. Lectures can get a little long at times but she makes real life connections which I find helpful. There have been times where some of the material on the tests were not what we covered in class, which didn't help my grade. Tests get harder as you go, 3 in total plus a final.

The kindest, smartest and most caring professor. She makes time to meet with anyone in the class. She believes in every single student! I was overwhelmed with the material and she calmed me down and gave me a study plan after the first test and I ended with an A- thanks to her willingness to spend time with me, her kindness and belief in me.

Prof.Earls is a sweet woman, she just not a good professor. Reads directly off the ppts and tends to get side tracked very easily. If we get behind (which was often) she would skip over material on her Ppts that you would need to know but she wouldn't tell you. She was very rushed and the tests were not even really hers, so never knew the material.

Professor Earls is a great teacher. Her powerpoints are good, and she goes over everything in depth. I thoroughly enjoyed the class. Recommend reading the textbook and using that to study. I did not, which is the reason for the bad grade. More than willing to meet outside of class. Does not do study days for tests/.

Very good for lab. Goes into detail about what you need to know. Only frustrating thing is that she keeps you in class until the 2 hours and 50 minutes are over, even if you finish lecturing. Quizzes are online every Tuesday for 20 minutes. easy to study for if you pay attention. only graded on quizzes and practicals.

Professor Earls is very lecture-heavy. There is weekly - bi-weekly homework and 3 main tests for BIO1107. She is good, but her lectures can be a bit boring and long. Her tests can be tricky, so studying is key (like most classes). She can be an acquired taste but her true focus in on her students. Take her if you have the chance!

Prof Earls is one of the most caring people I have ever met. She understands when we are struggling and never puts us down, instead she gives feedback to succeed. Her office hours are super helpful, take use of it. Lectures are long and some of the material gets briefed over (which you end up needing to know more about). Tests are difficult but ok.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Anatomy is tough as it is, Professor Earls makes it 10x harder. Never finished lectures on time so everyone would have to cram and teach themselves a full chapter 2 days before a test, full of snarky comments, isn't supportive when you are struggling or have questions, makes lectures way more confusing.
