Mrs. Sheehan is a good teacher. She puts all of her notes on blackboard and she is easy to understand. She gives lots of chances for you to get bonus points so that you can bring up your grade.

This class was so easy I mean what do you expect the human body is complex did you want her to leave out the circulatory system because it was a little difficult. If anone is to blame it is god for making the human body so darn complex in the first place

Tough, but helpful. Willing to explain anything you don't understand. Must KNOW material to score well on tests and bonus quizzes. Didn't like finals because of time limits to choose answers.

w00t. She is a great teacher.. notes are on blackboard and she gives a lot of bonus quizzes.. fun class.. no need for the book.. just notes.

Very easy class, just show up everyday and pay attention and you'll make an A. She is a tad bit moody sometimes though.

you cannot have a better biology teacher. always go for her.

Mrs. Sheehan is hardcore. Like someone said before, she has no remorse for her students, but she did give us study guides for all our tests and gives ample opportunity for bonus points. I'm a terrible biology student, but I made an A in both classes.

Scared the beejesus out of me. Hardcore.

She is a great teacher, takes Biology seriously. Sometimes I felt as though I was going to fail a test, but never did. You need to know the material. She gives plenty of bonus quizes, so be at class everyday. Also, if you don't understand something, ask her.

Mrs.Sheehan's class is kinda boring but hey you can only teach the human body so many ways. Go to class, take the bonus quizzes and you will get an A if you make C's on nearly every test.Happened to me in both classes.If choosing between her and Wakeman choose Sheehan. Kinda mean person though.

She is a great teacher and is will to explain and help you with whaterver your problem is

Awesome! Mrs. Sheehan gives great examples in class and relates the human body to things that are intersting. i want to take her for every biology

I'm sure that she is a nice lady, I just don't like the class--boring, boring, boring. She puts all of her notes on blackboard, and gives study guides sometimes. She also gives lots of quizzes for bonus work. She is VERY picky about attendance--can't skip her class a lot.

Awesome teacher. Bonus point add up. Because of this, I didn't get frustrated with my grades and understood material better. Taking the lab at the same time helps a lot with bonus quizzes. I definitely reccommend taking the lab under her too.

Gives you bonus till you can't stand it anymore. Awesome teacher. A little rude but we can't have it all. Read the chapters or the notes on blackboard before class, go to every class and actually study and you will have no problem pulling off an "A".

She is HARD you have to really study and know your stuff, but she is super fair. She gives lots of bonus and there are never any surprises on her test. Don't be late to her class she will kill you, and make the rest of the class suffer with no bonus that day. Over all if you want to really learn something about Biology TAKE HER!!!!!

She can be hard and is very strict. If you read the material and study you will do good. She gives a lot of opportunities for bonus. Be in class, this will help you. Her labs are pretty easy, attendence is the key. I liked her and did very well in 227, better than I did when I first took her in 225.

lots of bonus and tests are fair. she can be rude but i thought she was nice.

She was very helful in the lab and made it interesting. Be in class and be on time. Do the pre labs bc she will check them randomly. Study for the quizes and do all lab reports before you come to class.

I had her for biology 101. This was the first time I have ever understood biology. She is strict but gives a lot of bonus and gives you a study guide and puts the notes on blackboard. Test grades are kind of low in her class but I dont understand that b/c the questions come straight from the study guide. if you are a non bio major take her 101 clas

The class should be easy because she gives study guides and she puts her notes on blackboard. For some reason, though, the class seems to make people really stupid. The grades are always pretty low. she can be really rude but it's because a lot of people in her class are stupid and talk during the class.

very helpfull

I am terrible in science classes but an A in her class with very little effort and was even exempt from her last test. She gives an enormous amount of bonus and study guides for the test. I can't imagine how not everyone has an A in that class. She is strict but only when students are disrespectful.

Come to class and do your work, thats all she asks and it isn't too much. Good teacher, just a lot of information to cover in Bio 102.

she is very MEAN..but an excellent teacher..few words of advice....DON'T BE LATE(she will chew you out infront of the class), be sure your in the right class, always bring you book and paper and a pen(cause she will point you out if you dont)..oh yeah...and DON'T FALL ASLEEP..

Just go to class. she does everything she can to help u get a good grade. she gives some study guides, bonis if u go to class. she is a great teacher.

*very informative and easy. She gives you the notes and outlines-so use them! She is willing to answer question in class and out of class and even has a set study session each week. I don't know how anyone could NOT pass her class-even gives bonus--go to class, print out the notes, and listen! And don't show up late, & don't talk-it's rude!

Wonderful teacher. To me she is the best teacher of biology at this school. All you have to do is do your part as a student and read the chapters and study hard. Her test are very appropriate for what she covers in class. If you have had trouble in other biology classes take her she is great. Just don't be late or rude. Great teacher.

I thought that Ms. Sheehan was very helpful, she gave study guides and bonus points..what more could you ask for. You don't have to write the lecture notes she already has them provided for you on blackboard so all you have to do is print them out. Study the lectures and read the chapters (they are short). I liked her!

I just wanted to start off by sayin this for all of you that are complaining right now: Welcome to College. It is up to YOU to try. You can't expect to walk in there and do nothing and get a good grade. She offers at least 70 bonus points in the quarter. She prints out her notes, and has study guides. Overall, I'd rather have her than any other.

She is concerned with the student learning the material. If you fall behind it is okay becausa she gives a lot of bonus work!!

She gives tons of bonus, and the test material is covered in her lectures. And in the books. And on the study guide that she gives for the first two tests. I'm taking her again for 102, and I've recommended her to several of my friends. Make sure you go to class, and be there on time. She is serious about attendance.

Her tests are easy only if allocate a lot of time. She gives study guides. Lots of bonus points but you need to show up for class to earn them. Overall, I enjoyed this class. She's not a bad teacher at all.

Enjoyed taking her will take her for next biology needed

great professor

YOU HAVE TO HAVE TO THE BOOK!Still go even if you think you'll be late, no matter how late, but after around 15 min. after she WILL call you out.She gives bonus quizes A LOT and they help A LOT. make sure to go to class if only for these. she generally will put her notes on blackboard but when i took her she only did AFTER class, check bb reguarly

She is an amazing teacher! Yes, she can be rude, but only to people who deserve it. She gives tons of bonus, exempts from finals, and is extremely nice if you take the time to put forth the effort. If you aren't afraid of work, then you should definitely take her!!!

Shes a very presentable woman, but extremely intimidating. She puts down many of the students without provocation and is very condescending.I didn't like her tests because I felt many questions were vague, and some of them required multiple answers. Her pet peave is sleepers; don't let ANYBODY sleep in your class, or no extra credit quizzes.

All of the previous post have pretty much told the story. I beleive she has been teaching so long she realy just dosn't care if you live or die. She pretty much just wonts to lecture so she can go to the gym.She does give enough bonus quizes to make a huge impact on your grade. Beware If you do poorly on the quizes it can really hurt you. Good luck

She is a good teacher. Her lectures are okay but can be a little confusin' at times. No Homework. She gives out study guides before tests and she gives bonus quizzes.

Read the chapter before class. Take good notes in the lecture. Review your notes and her notes before the tests, and do the study guide! If you do that, you're good to go. I've taken her three times, and I'd do it again. I've recommended her to all my friends (whether they asked my opinion or not!) You'll work hard, but you'll be rewarded for it!

She is a very hard to work with and will not give you the benefit of the doubt. If you are an athlete dont take her class during your sport cause she will penalize you. Overall I would say to stay clear of her and to take wakeman cause her bonus is a false hope...you lucky to get the regular part of the quiz, much less the bonus.

She's very smart and knows her stuff. She isn't very friendly but if you can get past that and not let it bother you then you can enjoy the class. You learn a lot. You can't slack off at all. Do the work and STUDY and you will make an A or B. Definitely not a blow off class.

She is a pretty good teacher. She knows what she is talking about. Study guides match the test pretty well and you have to take notes in class. She has bonus quizzes and pop quizzes often and they're pretty helpful. I really didn't mind her class and I hate Biology. If you pay attention, take good notes, and look over the chapter you'll do well.

she is a good teacher, she knows her stuff, but if you miss a day do not expect to make anything up. use her office hours and she will help you, your grade in the end is final. if you are one poimt away from an A then you will get a B

I've now had her for Bisc 225,226,227 and would do it again. I haven't read a comment posted that isn't true to some degree. The bottom line is if you are a science major these classes are all hard and require work. She's not naturally friendly but I must say having her for 3 qtrs she has grown on me. I like her. Just be on time and work hard.

I don't know why everyone is saying she's a horrible teacher, she's not. Much better than my 101 class. I was actually interested in class. Go to class, listen, do the study guides she gives out, and you will do well. Put some effort in it! She gives so many bonus points--w/out them I would have a C and I will end up with an A. Great teacher

The tests are relatively easy if you do your studying and memorize all the appropriate things. Shes a very judgmental person and is not afraid to insult you in front of a class.

She is very gruff and strict. Don't come to class late, don't use your cell phone, and don't eat or drink during class because she will call you out in front of everyone. She really is a good teacher. You have to study hard for her tests, but she really knows her stuff. Go to class everyday and study and you'll do good. She puts her notes online

She is decent teacher. I think it'd the class would be much more difficult if a person had never had biology or chemistry before. I just payed attention in class and looked over the study guides before the test, and I did just fine. Do well enough, and you can get out of taking the last test.

Mrs. Sheehan is a good teacher although the only thing is that she favors Sigma Kappas because her daughter is one. She is rude and doesnt care about her students. Shes does love what she does but she expects you to know as much as her. She will talk you down like your a 1st grader if you dont understand. If you can take another teacher!!!!

I really enjoyed Sheehan's class. People complain because she's "mean" but really she's not. Sure, if you arrive to class 20 min late, talk, text, sleep, or whatever, she'll say something mean. But its college, not first grade. She treats you how you act. Her outlines are good, and if you fill out the study guides youll do fine. Id take her again.

Sheehan is an okay teacher, you just really have to pay attention in class. And don't be late! NO CELL PHONES!! and don't look around during a quiz or a test, she will think you are cheating. tests aren't the easiest, but this IS college. just pay attention and don't look at the clock and you will do fine.

she is a pretty good teacher. she doesnt like students that come to her class just to sleep. she will point you out in a heart beat! but i dont blame her! i mean that is totally rude!! her test come straight from the book. read that book and you will do good.

One of the GREATEST teachers I've ever had. Gives you plenty of notes, study guides, & help. You have an opportunity to earn 150 bonus points throughout the quarter. Tests are 100 multiple choice questions & aren't that hard. She means business & is firm, but is a wonderful teacher... & she NEVER keeps you the whole class time. TAKE HER! (:

This woman is extremely condescending. She has a bad attitude for no reason at all, and while she demonstrates adequate knowledge of her subject, she antagonizes people for absolutely no reason. She has unreasonable expectations and does not compromise. I have never EVER disliked a professor as much as her. She is unpleasant putting it mildly

Don't talk on phones, text message, pass notes, cheat, talk to neighbors, sleep, ask redundant questions, eat, drink, or use a laptop for internet use in her class and everything will be fine. Read the book religiously, take notes in her lectures, and record the bonus questions for a solid grade.

Don't listen to everyone else's comments, probably just lazy freshmen. YOU HAVE GOT TO STUDY TO DO WELL! If you show her respect, then she'll show you respect. She gives very detailed tests, so just skimming won't cut it. She also give daily quizzes with 5 points bonus on each over the lecture that day. Pay attention, don't act stupid, and STUDY!

Sheehan is a bitter woman, but she is clear so you know exactly what is expected of you. No food, drinks, cells phones, talking, going to the bathroom, or asking questions she deems dumb. She is a difficult teacher to avoid taking, but if you can...avoid.

Sheehan will not ruin your life. Just go to class, she gives participation points just for being there. She also gives quizzes so just look over your notes during class. Do this and you can make C's on the test and still make an A in the class. Just put forth a bit of effort and you will be fine!

Wonderful teacher. 4 tests. Daily quizzes are 10 questions, but only 5 count, and the rest are bonus, so you can get up to 100 BONUS points in the class. If you miss a lot of class, it is going to affect your grade. The class is easy if you STUDY and READ the book. Don't just expect an easy A, you have to work for it.

I had Sheehan for 225,227, and the 2nd lab 228. i really enjoyed all three classes (the first lab is taught by a TA) made and A in both labs and a B in the second class but i missed several days that quarter. daily quizzes with 3 to 5 bonus points per quiz, as long as you put forth a little effort and skim before class youll be fine

I took her for 225 and 227, got A's both times. Go to class every day to take the quizes, she offers atleast 5 bonus points a day, they help cushion the grade on her extremely hard tests.

Loved her! Bonus points! She made a boring subject fun.

She gives 10 random quizzes, so pay attention. On each one there is an opportunity for 5 bonus points. 5 tests...all multiple choice, but kinda hard. She also gives 2 bonus points every time you attend class. If you like biology and don't mind reading the book, take her.

She gives daily quizzes, 5 points of which are bonus. If you collect enough points, you don't have to take the final. How nice is that? She's very helpful and easy to talk to. People gripe, but come on, anatomy is a lot of memorization, so buck up and do it. If you attend class and read the book, you should make an A easy.

Amazing! She really breaks it down for you, this especially helps when biology just isn't really your subject. Daily quizes which you can accumulate over 100 bonus points from. She tells you how it is and what she expects. Loved her!

Great teacher!!! She does not tolerate rudeness or cheating!! and will let you know about it. Respect her and she will respect you. Overall she keeps the subject interesting and is always available to students. Best BISC teacher to have!!

One of the best teachers at Tech. Dont get me wrong, you have to study. But if your interested in the human body you will like her class. Gives bonus points. Come to class, pay attention, and you will learn alot.

The best teacher I have EVER had. She actually knows what she's talking about. I don't understand why people give her such a hard time. If you're immature, she'll treat you like you're 5. Gives an insane amount of bonus. If you can't make an A in this class, then that's your problem. Amazing teacher!!!

Took her for A&P I, made an A, and taking her for A&P II. She's really a great professor, but will call you out if you're being rude or acting immature! If you can't behave, that's your problem. Textbook required, bonus quizzes, and tests are mostly multiple choice. If you're serious about it, she'll be one of the best professors you'll ever have.

I've taken her for both of the A&P classes and love her! She asks for respect from her class and gets it. She is an awesome teacher and you can actually pay attention to her lectures. She gives a good bit of bonus on the daily quizzes so definitely go to class.

I took her for A&P I and II. A quality professor who clearly knows her material and will teach anyone who is willing to put in an honest effort. That's all the asks--just show up and give her the respect she deserves! Favorite professor of all time, yall. Take her to get the most out of your education dollar.

I took Sheehan for both A&P classes and absolutely loved them. If you're a good student willing to put in study time for her tests and quizzes, you will do just fine! She is by far my favorite professor, and she knows her material!

Strict about attendance and cell phones, but knows the material for class and explains it well. Tests are difficult and require a lot of studying. The extra credit she gives through quizzes and review questions make the class somewhat easier. Overall, good teacher, so long as you stay on her good side

Sheehan knows her material. she does a great job in lectures. shes a little sarcastic when you ask questions and you may feel like she tries to embarass you. she cares about your success and usually tells you exactly what is on the test. listen in class and dont take notes. take all notes from textbook. every question on test is from book

READ THE CHAPTERS BEFORE CLASS. Bring your book to class and follow along. For labs, make sure you don't throw away lab reports, she takes them back at the end of the quarter. Easy class if you're willing to study.

As a senior with a 3.9+ GPA, I must say that anyone complaining about Mrs. Sheehan isn't likely to achieve success in professionalgraduate school. Sorry to bust your bubble Freshmen and Sophomores, but do you think 300400 level classes are going to be any easier? Not every class can be as easy as bowling or psychology. Yes, you have to study!

She doesn't play. Some students think she's too strict but she is simply professional. You show up, buy the required materials, pay attention, do as you're told (basically act like an adult) and you will do just fine. There is a lot of material to cover but no surprises on quizzes and tests. I have taken her twice and would do it again.

She is strict about behavior and cheating, and her quizzes are crazy difficult, but at the end of the quarter she gave me the extra points to boost me a letter grade. Really read the notes and book for an A. GO TO EVERY CLASS

She is a good, realistic college teacher. She is set in her ways and specific about how she wants you to take tests (DON'T WRITE ON THE TEST!!!). Daily quizzes that can actually help your grade. If you want to do well, read before class. She posts notes online. You definitely have to study if you want to do well, but getting an A is not impossible.

The class has SEVERAL bonus opportunities. Yes, you have to read before class and you can ALWAYS expect to have a quiz that day but you will learn more in her classes than any others. She is also my advisor and is VERY helpful. People say she's rude but she is very fair and nice one on one. If you skip your quiz points-which help-will be taken away

Tough professor, but not impossible to get an A. She expects you to read beforehand and gives quizzes at the end of every class, but often there are bonus points included in the quizzes. Attendance is mandatory to keep those bonus points though. Read before, pay attention in class, and do the reviews provided and the tests won't be horrible.

Sheehan has a bit of a reputation at Tech, but I think it is her own purposeful doing. She acts big and bad to make you think you should be scared of her tests, but it's not true. If you do what she tells you, you'll do great. Slack, you'll fail. Do not be afraid to ask her questions. She won't actually scream at you.

Sheehan structures her class so that students who work hard and put in time will make an A. In order to do that, go to class, READ AND LEARN the chapter before the lecture. There are pop quizzes at the end of class, but each quiz has 5 points bonus. She also gives bonus quizzes at the beginning of class too. Do not write on her test!!

Though I heard nothing but negative comments about Dr. Sheehan, I surprisingly enjoyed her class. It is possible to get an A but you MUST put in the effort & read the book. There is a pop quiz almost every class that can make or break your grade so NEVER skip. Don't try to become her friend - just go to class, do what you need to do, and leave.

You have to read ahead and annotate the chapters if you want to pass. There are 100 questions on each test and everything from the chapters is fair game. I recommend that you start studying 2 weeks prior to all tests. Sheehan sounds tough but as long as you put in the effort, you should do fine. Don't skip or leave class early!

An A is definitely attainable. It seems like a tough class but when you get into further biology classes you start to really appreciate how simple and straightforward this class is. You have to read a lot but this class is great because it definitely pays off for studying.

Sheehan is an excellent professor. Anyone who says different either didn't listen to her very clear instructions or has been "babied" by previous easy professors. You will learn a lot from her. If you're going into biology and can't do well in her class, that's your own problem. She can be a bit sassy at times but it's justified. Read before class!

Be ready for a quiz every time you show up. Unfortunately, the quizzes WILL make or break your grade so be prepared. She wants you to know way more than you need to because it's better than knowing less. She is stern, but highly intelligent. At midterm I had an A in her class, but the last 4 quizzes and final hurt my grade. Make sure to study ALL

It is a difficult class because the material is hard. She was a good teacher and was very thorough in her lecture. She also gave all materials needed for tests, and many opportunities to learn more.

Came into this class super afraid. She is tough but she teaches very well. I have learned this quarter more than I have any other quarter. Must put in a lot of work. It gets a lot better once half of the class drops.

She's not as bad as everyone tends to make her up to be. Just read the chapters and do connect.

Very knowledgeable and an extremely smart person. Expects you to put in the work. Read everything before class and do well on the quizzes that way if you have a test grade or two that aren't great it won't kill your grade. Test questions sometimes make you think, not "trick questions" but you may need to know several pieces of info to answer.

Sheehan is not near as bad as everyone says she is. There is a lot of material and she expects you to put in the work. She posts her notes online and all the questions that are on tests are in her notes or in the textbook. There are also opportunities for bonus. You have to work hard, but you learn a lot.

She is not as bad as everyone says. Just do connect and study the chapters and you will be fine.

I thoroughly enjoyed taking anatomy and physiology with Ms. Sheehan. Her class is not easy, but getting an A or B is doable. If you attend class, pay attention, and take notes you will do fine. If you cannot handle her class then you should not be in college. Don't complain about your grade or her teaching if you don't study or show up to class.

Prof. Sheehan is not exactly a 4/5, but I previously gave her a 2/5, which was a bit low I feel. 3/5 is fairly accurate in my opinion. Regardless, her exams are rather difficult. She doesn't focus on big picture, general ideas, but rather, seemingly unimportant minutia. Her lectures almost put me to sleep, but if you read book well you should do OK

Shes old fashioned and passionate about what she teaches. Shes not here to be your friend, shes here because she wants to teach, and she does just that. I heard the horror stories, and I was scared at first, but I have learned so much and its so clear to see that she just means business. Read the chapters and print the notes on Moodle.

I was dreading this class going into it because of the reviews, but Sheehan is a really good professor.This class will definitely challenge you, but man did I learn a lot. READ the chapter before class. SHOW up. ANSWER her quizzes in class. She'll will prob give extra credit if you show you are trying to learn. Be respectful pls and pay attention.

A lot of people say that she is a hard teacher, but it's just a hard class. She's somewhat traditional; be respectful and on time or she will say something about it. The lectures are based on the textbook, so if you read before class, you'll understand the material. Do what she tells you on the first day, and you'll make a decent grade.
