Shes really nice, and probably the least demanding of Anatomy bunch. She gives you a study list that contains about 97% of the items on the practical(visual) test. The written(multiple choice) tests are a little harder. Study and take advantage of lab time and you will do just fine.

class is easy. not the easiest but an A is absolutely possible. do 3 things: listen to her lectures (more important than book), go to lab to memorize structures, read the book anyways (she appreciates it, and class will be much easier to follow). 8 tests = 4 lab tests (easier than written) + 4 written tests. no mid, no final. do take her!! =D

Mrs. Chammas is a pretty good teacher. Her tests are hard and tricky and she doesn't give extra credit.

Puzzled by the poor reviews. It's difficult if you're not willing to put in the effort. Anatomy isn't an easy course if you're looking for an easy A you should probably reconsider your major. Class was straight forward, Professor Chamas really cares for her students, she answers any questions& study guide was really helpful. No HW just 6 exams.

Professor Chammas was my favorite teacher ever! She is such a sweet and genuine human being! If you connect with her and actually ask her questions you will do alot better in the class. While the class over all is pretty difficult, lab hours are where you want to stay to get one on one questions answered by her and to study models she uses on tests

Dany came in late and this was on the FIRST day of school. She did not even send out an email prior to the first day of school which other professors do. Not only was she late, she presented herself with attitude. She demanded the waitlist people to leave immediately without even taking role which made no sense since some people could've dropped.

It's a 4 unit course; be ready to self study. Do not expect an easy A; it's a hard science. Professor Chammas is extremely knowledgeable not only in anatomy, but in other aspects as well. Tests: Every two weeks, theres an exam (1 practical, 1 multiple choice; 100 questions total, 10 extra credit per MC test). Also, she gives study guides!!

She was kind, you could tell she really wanted everyone to pass. However, it's really all up to you for the grade because it's based largely on how well you can memorize and how much! (alot of details and names). I'm good at memorization so it wasn't too bad but a lot of people struggled. Making flashcards on quizlet helped! Do not lag on studying!

Professor Chammas really cares that you do well in her class. Shes very lecture heavy, but she makes it so that anatomy is easy to follow and understand. There is no homework, just your grade based off of 6 tests. Always repeats important concepts until you get it. Very caring. One of my favorite profs Ive had at pcc.

Class Transitioned into online when campus closed. Absolute worse grading system EVER. Practice is crucial in order for anatomy to stick, yet theres no homework. Grade is based solely on 200pt exams, no EC, no participation points. Its a self-taught class. Your only chance to bring your grade up is to Ace each exam, based on lectures. Nope.

I read the reviews on here before taking her class thinking I would be okay. Don't take her class. I think she's using notes from 5 years ago when she started teaching, lecture notes and book do not sync , she is not computer savvy, very old school, and class is based on 6 exams. She tries to be helpful, but not really.

I was afraid of taking Anatomy because I heard that it is a tough course. However, Mrs. Chammas made it easy. She was very clear from day one about the course content, grading policy and what is expected from us. Her power point lectures are very helpful and from the book. She posted everything we need to know in canvas. Thank you Mrs. Chammas.

DO NOT TAKE HER!!!! Yeah all you need to do is 12 tests no homework what so ever but she will not give you a redo on test (nor gives extra credit) even if you and your family have covid and that your in pain with the symptoms of Covid which did happen to me. I am currently 5% away from getting a C and I can't get to a C bc of the 2 test I missed.

I've taken ANAT025 and Professor Chammas is a really sweet woman, though her class is DIFFICULT. She did not give homework at all, but PAY CLOSE attention to her lectures even though they aren't mandatory. The tests/exams are based on her lectures. If you got any questions for her, she will answer them via Zoom. Don't hesitate!

It's crazy how much you're basically self-studying. Lectures are non-mandatory and rightfully so, because all the professor does is read from her slides. She is nice but she does not really accommodate to her students requests and is also extremely unaccessible outside of class.

Anatomy is really hard! but professor Dany makes everything understandable. Professor Dany is really caring that if you have a question don't hesitate to ask. The test is heavy so you must really read the book and lectures. Her exam is based on lectures and books. Study hard so you will pass anatomy.

She's a nice woman. The class is only graded on 6 exams, which I really liked bec no busy work. She offers additional courseware for practice but it's not mandatory. She adds things in lectures that I didn't realize from just reading the book. Read the book, take notes, and listen to lectures and you're good.

Anatomy is a difficult course, but Mrs. Chammas made it easier to understand. She truly cares about her students, I struggled personally and she made accommodations. Still, no matter how nice and helpful your professor is, it will not change the difficulty of a class; you will still have to put in the work to do well in her class and read a lot.

She is a good professor. But prepare to study cause anatomy require a lot of memorization. There is total 6 exams and she gives you little extra credit questions on the exam. She grades 88.5% or more as a A. There's no homework so you have more time to focus on the exams. She answers all the question you have on lab class.

Do not take her course if you don't want to retake it. Very unhelpful and indifferent. Grades are based on 6 exams. Every two weeks you need to memorize 200 terms and what all the body parts look like. Her class is completely self-study, and all content is from the textbook. strongly discourage you from taking her class.

this class requires a lot of memorization and self study. Usually she will lecture for one hour and the rest of the time she gives you to group study and ask her questions. She is super encouraging and understanding. lets you make up exams. Grade consists of 6 exams and 2 discussions. She gives study guides that tells you exactly whats on the test

Best professor I've ever had! She is super sweet, caring, and loves what she does. 6 exams total each with a lecture and practicum portion, 4 discussion posts, no homework. She gives study guides for each test. Anatomy is a hard class overall so be prepared to study if you want to pass. She is super helpful so ask all the questions you want.
