Mettile's classes are HARD- But they're that way because she actually trains you to be a competent healthcare worker. I think I learned more in this class than several other college classes combined.

I have had Connie for a couple of classes now. She is truly someone worth knowing. You can literally see the passion she has for what she teaches. She can come off intimidating at first but know that she just so intensely wants her students to succeed. Her knowledge on mental health is astounding and you will leave the class feeling so empowered.

day 1 of the class and she was yelling at the freshman for not knowing what to do at 8am their first day. it always feels like you are walking on eggshells when interacting with Dr. Mettille. You just sit in lecture hoping she wont call you out or interact with you.

I only had her for the lecture part of the class and I would not recommend taking her for the lab portion. She makes her expectations crystal clear and jumps at the chance to call students out. Lecture with her only happens six times in the semester which is nice!

Connie Mettille is an overall great professor, acts tough at first, but definitely knows how to give a good lecture. Even though all of the exams are open book open note, get ready to read the textbook word for word. There tends to be a good number of statistics on the exams.

Dr. Mettille can be very intimidating at first but she is very respected in the HERS department and knows what she is teaching very well. I only had her for the lecture portion of the semester and i enjoyed her. The exams however are difficult and go very in detail with things in the chapter. Overall i would take her class again!

Connie Mettille's class was just fine. Had her for the lecture portion of this class and was not amused. SO rude on the first day- being intimidating can be fine at times but she was just plain out mean. Tests are unbelievably stupid in the sense that they have many correct answers for certain questions and there are things that aren't in the book.

I only had Professor Mettille for the lecture portion this semester. She was very intimating to me. Make sure to attend lectures and labs because you get points just for showing up. Make sure to carefully read the book. Almost all of the questions are pulled straight from the book, but some of the answers you really have to dig deep for.

Lowkey kind of scary. Yelled at me the first day because I wasn't talking to people. Make sure to show up on time and do not dare to get up during class, she will call you out. READ THE TEXTBOOK, otherwise the tests won't go the best.

Very organized, strict, unwilling to compromise, intelligent, high expectations. 4 tests in this class, switches between lab and lecture every 4 weeks then you have a test. Tests are only on textbook, but lectures are mandatory and attendance is graded.

I did not like her teaching style. The assignments were fairly easy, however the tests were extremely difficult. You are given 45 minutes and it's almost impossible to know what will be on it. It's open notes/textbook, but it is really hard to flip through and find all of the answers in such a short period of time.

Connie can come off as very intimidating at first, but she just wants to make sure that everyone understands how the class will work. She is very educated in what she teaches. She is always trying to learn more and trying to be the best professor that she can be. Complete the work on time. She won't accept late work. Tests can be difficult. Read!

Very strict about everything during lecture. Will call you out during class if you're not sitting in the right spot and will embarrass you in front of 200 people. Lectures are pretty easy and go by fast but she isn't the nicest person ever and likes to call out students. Being in her lectures gives students a lot of anxiety.

Connie can come off as very intimidating at first. Once you talk to her a little more, even one on one, she is a very sweet woman. She cares a lot for her students and wants everyone to succeed. She can make some out of pocket comments but usually she's okay. Had her for a mental health course and she was very passionate about it.

She is easy to listen to and relates the material to real life. You either like her or you don't, but it's pretty easy to figure out. If you have a bad attitude, she isn't for you. Show up and do your work and you'll be okay. Tests aren't great but they're doable, especially with all the other work in the gradebook.

She is a good teacher But, She doesn't like laptops out of her old school and still doesn't know when it is 2023. This is a technology college. She told us one time during class halfway through that we couldn't go to the restroom. Saying in my head she said what?! Are you serious? This is college last I check. This isn't HS again.

Dr. Mettille kept telling the same stories over and over again, and honestly none of the notes from her lectures mattered on the exam. Just keep the textbook near you on the exam and go to lecture and lab for the attendance points and you'll get the same grade. I wish there was a way to avoid her and take 204 with someone else.

This woman is wild. Tries to keep the energy up for her 8 AM lectures, and I still don't know if it worked. If you have the pleasure of having Connie in lab too, my semester it was monday at 10, than just say whatever she is looking for. It's better to have her like you in lab, not because it effects your grade, but because she might eat you. lol

She has a strong personality that takes some getting used to. She can be patronizing at times but becomes more chill as the semester goes on. Read and highlight the textbook, most test questions are copied verbatim from within the chapters. Assignments are basically free points, and attending one extra speaker is easy extra credit. Easy pass.

Her lectures are kinda pointless. The homework is very easy, but the tests are impossible. It's the time limit, it's 50 questions and you have 45 minutes. The tests are open book but during the exams the questions are impossible to find in the book. I think she should have the tests be 50 min for 50 questions.

The class meets every Monday, but only the first 4-6 Wednesdays. The tests are online, they are open note, but make sure you read the textbook before. Each week there is a video quiz, reflection, and survey due. Fairly easy class, good professors.

The lectures were not the most helpful, she gives you the power points to print out and take notes on but then makes up her own slides anyways. She's not mean, but definitely stay on her good side. Easy Homework, and If you tab main concepts in your textbook you'll be fine, as the tests are open book. Put some effort in and you'll get an A or B

Mettille is strict without being rigorous or mean. She is very detailed and dedicated to her job and wants you to do well, and is clear about expecting the best out of you. The homework is consistent and on a week to week basis. She is good at analyzing every aspect of her teaching in a way that helps people. I'd strongly recommend 204 for anyone.
