A&P is a hard class. I've tried taking it with other instructors but I always dropped. Sato made it a little easier. Her lecture is long but her voice isn't monotone so it isn't hard to stay awake. She's very approachable. She lets you use a little cheat card for the test too.

I can honestly say, this teacher loves her job. She is fun and also very helpful. Her test aren't really easy, but she makes packets for each test for her students. (she goes over a couple pages each class, and fill out the packet with you) So all you have to do is study that packet and you are pretty much set.

Phenomenal professor! Biology was really hard for me, but her lectures are really thorough and informative. There are 3 exams throughout the entire semester; She provides study guides for all 3 and lets you know exactly what is going to be in the test. Definitely not an easy class but very worth while. I learned so much from Professor Sato!

There is a lot of extra credit opportunities so take advantage of it. The only way to fail is by not trying. I would definitely recommend Prof Sato. Shes the best!

I have to say that I hated Bio even in my first language. But this lady changed that mentality. Bio can be fun. When she was giving lectures, I felt like she was "dancing" because of how much body movements she used to demonstrate. Thank you for being so inspirational, Ms. Sato!

Exams are 100% based on the study guides, which are based on the readings. She provides further clarification of the readings in her lectures, so if you struggle with the readings you need to go to class. She has a clear passion for biology and is able to convey concepts effectively.

She always has a waitlist of people who really want to take her class but can't because she only accepts a certain amount so she can focus and help everyone.
