You could study for one of her tests for 3 days straight and still get a 60%..they are that hard. Dont know what the people are saying like "easy A" because this class is ridiculous. To get an A you basically HAVE to memorize ALL of her 6 billion notes that she has...for the love of God take it downtown!

Although her lectures are clear and concise (but boring, boring, boring), the tests are incredibly difficult (there's little to no extra credit and I'm pretty sure she doesn't curve). Unless you're a genius or have had copious prior experience in the field, you must study every day if you want a decent grade.

Be prepared to work hard. My advice is to study super hard the first three tests because if you do well on those, you do not have to take the final. Be prepared to memorize a lot.. But you will learn a lot as well.

Extremely knowledgeable professor. If you study notes, read textbook, and do practice questions whenever available you will be fine. I learned so much from Dr. Washo!

Her specialty in grad school was immunology so be sure to study especially hard for the test pertaining to the immune/lymphatic systems. If you study the notes, and understand the material in the textbook, an A is not out of reach. She wants her students to understand the material, not just memorize it, and her tests are set up that way.

Yes, lectures can be boring sometimes but her exams are straight from the notes and textbook. Your grade really depends on how much effort you put into this class. As long as you study the notes, textbook, and supplemental materials then you should be fine! Trust me. :)

I had Dr. Washo for BIO 201 and 202. I remember studying for her final and knowing all the info that she wanted us to know and still getting a 70 on it (BIO 202). BIO 202 has less points than 201 has so its harder to get a good grade in the class. TAKE ANATOMY DOWNTOWN WITH OLSON! you will be SOO glad you did.

I took this class and ATAed for it, quite acting surprised this is a hard course! Did anyone notice the '2' in 201? She is nice and approachable, lecture topics are standard A&P topics. Its nice that you get the powerpoints and the exams are multiple choice. Expect to study and you'll do fine.

This is a hard class, if you are not a science student be prepared for a lot of studying. She speeds through the material so you don't have much time to write everything down. The lecture section is tame compared to lab, be prepared for TA's who don't help at all. Just know what you are getting into before taking this course, it's not easy.

Delon is a great lecturer and really knows her stuff. Her expectations are ridiculously high and work load is almost unreasonable. This is the hardest class I have ever taken and I am a 4th year! It is interesting but having the Lab is like having a separate class in itself. Be sure to set ALOT of extra time aside for this class.

Yes, this is a difficult and time consuming class, but there's a lot of material to cover in one semester. Her notes are fill in the blank, which I prefer because it keeps you engaged but not trying to copy everything down and not learning a thing. The tests are pretty difficult, but so is the material. Overall, I really liked her as a professor!

One of the best lecture teachers ever! Totally funny and interesting and is always willing to help! The class is hard but read the book pages she assigns, do the connect, and study the notes and you should be fine. With the final your lowest grade is dropped so that is a plus! Seriously an awesome teacher. New outlook on the human body!!!

I am an honors student, and this was definitely my hardest class of the semester. Make sure you get all of the clicker question points, the homework assignment points, and all of the other easy points since the tests are pretty difficult. The material is very interesting, but there is a TON of information to not only memorize, but understand.

you must have a lot of time to dedicate to this class. If you dont have any previous experience with bio it is pretty difficult. You must understand the notes, not just memorize them.. The tests cover ppts and clicker questions. teacher is nice, but she expects a lot from you.

Hard hard hard class. Do not listen to anyone who says it's easy. It really isn't. Tests are a nightmare. You must UNDERSTAND a lot of physiology. Avoid her class at all costs! Take it somewhere else!!!

Really difficult class just because lab is like having another class to study for practicals. Her Lectures are interesting but her exams are difficult and really detail oriented. Study off the powerpoint slides but she expects a lot and exams have a lot of detail oriented questions

This class was my favorite class I took at ASU! You have to have a passion to learn the material but it is worth the work. The material is difficule and I recommend using flash cards continuously to keep up. Your lab TA is a great resource if you need help studying and going to their office hours and study sessions for the lab is very beneficial.

Very interesting class but quite difficult. Expect to study a lot, for both lecture and lab. Know material from powerpoints and you will do well on the exams. Attendance isn't mandatory but she does ask several clicker questions a day for attendance points. Aside from that it's a great course

Great teacher, moves quickly through notes. Huge class, can email her with any questions. She helps you prepare for tests by giving Connect Assignments! Difficult class to ace.

There is a lot of material in the lecture, but that's due to the material. The class does require a lot of time and can be very difficult. The lab more than the lecture is the hard part and that will lower your grade. Before taking this class, make sure you can commit the time to it.

Dr. Washo-Krupps is a fair & knowledgeable professor. Exams are difficult, but only for those who don't put in the effort. I earned an A (before & after curve). Go to class, before exams: read chapters, rewrite notes, complete online assignment (8-10 hours). Don't neglect lab, or your grade will suffer ( study for the weekly lab quizzes!!)

Loved this class. If any one says this course was hard, they probably weren't interested in the human body at all or put no effort in. The homework is easy points. Delon makes it easy to get an A as long as you come to class and pay attention. Don't neglect lab, study for quizzes. Test are straight from lecture and clickers. AND practice test.

Do not take this class unless you are a BIO major who lives/eats/and breathes anatomy/physio. While the instructor is knowledgable and has a lot of information to share, it is a crazy amount of information and is a huge time commitment. I agree with a previous poster, and this class is a GPA killer.

Class is difficult (but only because of lab). Tests are easy because they are exactly the lecture slides-nothing more. So as long as you fill in her lecture notes you are good to go. There are also a lot of easy points such as discussion boards and homeworks. At the end your lowest test score is dropped. Boring, but straightforward! I recommend!

The class is very organized. 99% of test questions come from her lecture slides and if something is not clear, just read the textbook! However, if you have alot of other hard classes I would not recommend this class. It is very time consuming. You have to put in ALOT of time to get an A, I got a B with way lower effort. Work hard and ull be fine!

You should attend class (clicker questions are on her exams), but notes are fill in the blank slides, so you could get everything from a friend. Memorize all the slides before exams and do her online assignments for an A. She is super nice and helpful if you go to office hours or talk to her after class! Take her if you plan to take the MCAT/DAT!

Took over the summer,no HW, clicker questions on tests,test q's right off her ppts. You can find all her ppts filled in online easily, only reason to go to class is for clicker pts. Never used the book, but the book is very good. Lab was easy, put in the time to review the slides and an A-B is easy. she doesnt give minus grades only solid and plus

This class is fine if you are a fresh or soph, it's like being in day care, very easy, professor has cutesy little stories, and the test questions are terrible, with answer choices that mean the same thing. If you just want to get an A go for it but otherwise uninteresting. Too bad she is the only professor who teaches 201 and 202.

Took her for both BIO 201 and 202. The notes make it easy to study since the book has WAY more information in it than we learn. I barely used the book. HW assignments are more like busy work but the points add up. Clicker questions make attendance kinda mandatory and some questions end up on the test

She is a very organized person & great teacher! I always knew what to expect on the exams, and if you read through your notes a few times there should be no surprises. I was able to ace all tests without extreme amounts of studying and it is a fair amount of work for the difficulty of material. If you're interested in the body its an awesome class!

Surprisingly I got an A for this class.As expected,there were a lot of things to memorize but that's pretty much it.For lecture exams do study Delon's presentations and do study the extra Study materials she posted on Blackboard, they're really helpful.Lab practicals and quizzes are hard but there's a curve for lab grade at the end(about 10-15pts)

It is very possible to get an A if you do the discussion board, do the online assignments (which are time consuming but easy) and memorize her lecture power points! I really liked the way she taught, she made the material easy to understand. The tests are straight from the notes, you don't have to read the book. I loved this course!

Dont buy the book. Never used it and got an A. People complaining this is a hard class didn't try or are sophomores who havn't had a hard class at ASU. Lots of memorizing but the material is usually interesting if you like knowing about the body. Online HW's take forever. Just study a lil everyday and it'll be fine. Exams are all MC and pretty easy

Delon is very helpful and unlike professors of such big classes.. she emails back quickly. Her tests are off of the powerpoint. If you do all assignments (DB's, and online) you should get a good grade. I got a B even though I did about average on the lecture exams and got a B in lab. Time consuming but not impossible.

She does read straight off her powerpoints but then again the tests are based entirely off of them as well. This is a time-consuming class but online homework does help you learn the material. The lab can also be hard since it's mostly memorizing anatomy while the lecture focuses on physiology. Overall not a too difficult class but time consuming.

If you like science courses you will like this class. It's a lot of work.

I don't know what most of these reviews are talking about! This was a hard, demanding class, but you are in college! As long as you read, watch the lectures, do all the assignments and review for exams, you will be just fine. I finally feel like I got my moneys worth with this instructor. If you want to learn A&P, this is the class for you!

Really straightforward. Exams are right off of the power points and are 50 questions long. Connect assignments are long but easy. Delon is a really nice professor and has lots of stories. If you're interested in A&P then Delon's class is the class to take

Took the class over the summer. little to no book use as all of the tested information is given in the slides. Test every Monday, and they are all multiple choice. Labs were straight forward

I usually don't post any ratings, but I have to for this one because I was SO worried about this class based on other reviews, and it went so smoothly! First off, Dr. Washo-Krupps is such a kind professor, she understands that exams are tough, so you have a lot of assignments to make up for it. Great class and if you work hard, you'll get an A!

There is an incredible amount of studying required to really grasp the material and to know all of the terms. She lectures from power point, but she's funny and tells stories. If you do the extra credit and all of the assignments, it is ok if you don't ace your exams. You'll still get an A. All exams are proctored, which is an additional fee.

Wonderful person and a great teacher though her lecturing voice does occasionally make me a bit sleepy. Her exam materials are straight from the powerpoints so as long as you show up to fill in the powerpoints you should be good. Plus there's a ton of TAsATAs to ask for help from in addition to her.

What do you expect... it's an Anatomy class in 8 weeks. The tests are tough because you have to work your butt off 8 hours a day studying to get a good grade (unless you can memorize really well. Classroom set-up could be a little more streamlined but she does offer great extra credit each section.

Lectures are dreadful, but necessary. She gives cues on isn't on the test and fill-in-the-blank notes. The exams come straight from the powerpoints. Fair, but difficult. Practicals are very difficult. Tons of memorization and studying required. I averaged an 85 on the exams and excelled in lab and got an A. There is a curve at the end too.

Her lectures can be boring & it's tough to sit there just to fill in the blanks in your notes... but she's really nice and straight-forward. It's rewarding if you are willing to try. 202 is a bit tougher than 201, but she teaches and tests the exact same way. Study the Powerpoint slides and take notes of the clicker questions she asks in lecture!

Considering this is such a difficult subject covering a lot of material, there is no way for it to be easy. Dr. W is very organized in her approach and is always very helpful when students ask for it. She cares about out success and though lectures can be boring, how can it not when the info is dry and so technical. I would recommend. Labs harder

If you actually pay attention in class the lectures don't seem so extensive. She has 4 exams, 75 questions each, a cumulative final and she drops a test grade at the end which can really help your grade if you do well on the final. Reading the book helps, it corresponds with the notes. Connect OL hw sucks a lot, she gives 300+ Q's before the exams.

Took this course over the summer and truly enjoyed it. There was A LOT of material and did a ton of studying but the setting was small and intimate with about 30 students. Lectures are long but go by quick if you actually pay attention to what she's saying. I bought the APR that came with the book but never used it - got an A in the class.

Awesome teacher. Tough weeder class for medical programs. Utilizes flipped-classroom by making students watch lectures before class. AT-Still PA program does this, too. It probably helps students digest material. Dedicate a lot of time to this class. If you plan on attending med school, take this class seriously. Study hard. Make flashcards. lol

A&P is a tough class. Period. Besides that, Delon does her best to make class fun and interesting. I've been studying this subject for years and I still learned new things! Would take again. You HAVE to study for exams. Homework is online & repeatable so make sure to get 100%'s they're a good buffer. DO WELL IN YOUR LAB IT'S 1/3 OF YOUR GRADE.

This class is a lot of work, but it's not as hard as people make it out to be. For the tests, study the slides and look over the study guide. DO NOT rely on the homework or book to study. Krupps is a pretty fair grader, and she's always willing to help if you ask for it. Tests are straight forward. If you put in the work, this is an easy class.

Even with 3 years prior ecperience with A&P, this was the course I spent the most time on outside class. Practicals are hard if you're not good at memorizing. You HAVE to study you just have to. Delon gives you lecture slides with blanks in them and you have to fill them in during lecture. That's the one complaint I have, she's lovely otherwise.

Her homework included 3 chapters with 100 problems or more, and all for 6 or so points. She assigned random points that you didn't think would add up, but they do. You have 5 exams (including the final which replaces one of them, so 4 in the grade book). Study and you'll do fine.

I loved this class! The content was interesting . Washo-Krupps always cleared up any questions I had. You should get 100% on HW, discussion board, quizzes, and clicker questions as long as you do them. I got a C on a lab practical and a D on one test and i still managed to pass the class with an decent A without the finial.

The lectures are fill in the blank so you need to go to class. If you do all the work, you should get a perfect score in every section of grading except for tests, which are difficult and very long. She does drop a test grade and most people don't have to take the final. Lab was difficult and a lot of information, as was the lecture class.

Her lectures are mostly fill in the blanks in lecture slides so showing up to class is important. She ask clicker questions which does help you on exams. Assignments due on test days through Connect. MEMORIZATION HEAVY based on her lectures. It's a lot information but you will do well if you study. I personally enjoyed the class.

Had for both Bio 201/202- both are A&P fo science majors- this is NOT an easy science credit and the instructor is very straightforward about this. Dr. Washo-Krupps gives Clear expectations and lecture material and responds to emails/hallway convo posts quickly. Lots of lectures- notes are fill in the blank style. To succeed on tests use the study guides provided - they cover anything that could be on the exam and will prepare you very well. Also take advantage of the LS extra credit every week. At 4 PTs each they add up and also help you learn the material. Really enjoyed my two courses with this instructor !

There is a lot of content to learn in not a lot of time. I love this subject and she is a fine teacher, super glad this class is over. Nearly impossible to get anything higher than an 85 on an exam no matter how many hours you study. Expect to have 100-200 flash cards to learn for an exam and have an exam every week. Earn every homework point poss.

She does active learning in bio202, unlike 201 which makes the class a lot more fun and interactive. You have to study consistently to do well. No studying just the night before if you want to really do well. Test questions come from clicker questions. Very interesting class, but get ready to put in lots of effort.

Everyone I've talked to hates this class and this professor, but I honestly thought it was easy. I didn't open the book, and all I did was study the clicker questions that she does every day (which are participation points). I'm not sure why everyone thinks she is so terrible. I got a 97% in this class for using common sense.

She is an amazing teacher. She gives you everything you need to know in the notes and study guides for tests. You have to work hard, but she will help you if you ask. She has participation points every lecture, so don't miss class. Also, makes sure you get your homework done ahead of time, bc there is a lot.

Her lectures force you to go to class as she posts the gap note slides so in lecture you fill in the blanks. There are clicker points, online homework, 4 quizzes and a discussion board requirement which are all easy points. Tests are based solely off the powerpoints, but because it is so much info, they can be tough. I never used the textbook.

Be warned, the subject matter of this class is pretty difficult. I know that going into this class a lot of students thought it would be as difficult as a high school A&P class. IT IS NOT. A little less than half the people in my lab dropped the class due to an impending F grade. I strongly suggest you at least BIO181 before this class.

Dr. Washo-Krupps is a fantastic teacher. Her expectations are very clear. For a difficult class, it was easy to get an A if you put in the work. She provides study guides for each exam. She only keeps four of the five exams taken as well.

Very difficult.

If you're not ready to work, you will be miserable. That isn't Delon's fault. I think she is fantastic & the way 202 is structured is awesome. Watch the lectures online - go to class, clicker points & connect assignments will save your grade - don't skip them!! I averaged 77% on all exams & still got a B+. Make friends! My lab group saved me!

She's good at lecturing, high energy and excited about the material. This class requires you to memorize a lot. That's it, pretty much. But there is a lot to memorize, so much so that it is difficult, but not if you're good at memorizing and good about setting aside time to do it

This class is very well structured & interesting, BUT this is NOT a good choice for your gen. science. It is time consuming...2+ hours everyday-not exaggerating! The tests have tricky questions. This class is for someone that has A LOT of time to study (one class only-no job) or more than basic anatomy knowledge. Harder than any senior class!!

Awesome professor! A&P is a demanding class, however, she gives you all the tools to be successful in the class. Make sure to follow along with the lectures and USE APR for studying for lab practicals. It is super helpful for labeling! Extra credit is available weekly which it is time consuming but it helps for studying. I'd take her again!

YOU NEED TO STUDY! My advice to you, GO TO CLASS to get clicker points, do every Learnsmart assignment. EASY points & STUDY for tests.

Okay so everyone will warn you that you will fail out of ASU if you even attempt this course but in reality it's just really time consuming. I am an average student and I have failed and gotten D's on every exam and practical and I STILL PASSED. They give out EC and clicker points and you should get them all!! It is possible, it just sucks.

She tries to make the difficulty of the class as manageable as possible. A&P is a demanding class & requires the work, so if you're not willing to put it in, your grade will reflect that. The tests are based straight from her PPTs so go to class to get the notes for them. Clicker points in class help your grade and easy extra credit is offered.

Delon is a great professor. She is knowledgeable and cares for her students. I took her for BIO 201 as well as 202. This class is very demanding. I enjoyed the subject, but her exams are difficult; purely application. For the past two semesters, I've never received a decent grade on any of her exams. It's a good class to take, but it's hard.

Dr. W-K isn't great but isn't awful either. All the info for tests are from lecture slides, but doing the HW will help you learn the material. Yes, it's a lot of work, but her tests aren't hard if you actually study. I got an A on every exam just by studying slides and skimming the book. Go to class and get your clicker pts and do ANY EC provided.

The only way to get the notes for this class in by going to lecture & there are also clicker questions, too. TESTS ARE HARD so study hard! A lot of work, and a lot of studying/learning outside of class. The class moves fast!

This class takes a lot of work,but she gives you plenty of opportunities to help your grade besides the exams. For me the lab took up most of my time since it is purely memorization. Using APR program will save your grade, and you don't need to go beyond the study guide to review for exams. I got an A without getting an A on any exams.

Summer 6 weeks course. Challenging class. But its a lot of material to cover. I failed every single exam but with all the homework and extra credit I finished with a B. Teacher prepares powerpoints and notes, grades really fast. I think she did great as a professor honestly just get ready to learn. You need to know this stuff regardless

Great professor. She explains things very clearly. 202 is given in an active learning style. Watch the videos ahead of time and you will make your life a lot easier. Come to class for clicker points. She's very clear about what is expected. Watch the lectures, study an average amount and you can get an A no program.

Very challenging course, especially since it is compressed into 6 weeks. Be prepared for a ton of assignments/lectures. It was a 1000 point class, 500 of it from exams and quizzes. There is room for error, just don't fall behind. I learned a lot, but had to put a lot of time and effort into keeping up. She always responded first to questions.

Dr. WK is an amazing professor, especially for such a hard class. I took both BIO 201 and 202 in one summer and the workload was crazy but Dr. WK made it interesting and doable. Her lectures were incredibly useful, but the textbook was still necessary. Very interesting and comprehensive, but work intensive!

The class and lab should be split into 2 courses because that is how much work you have to do. This class has a ton of info and WILL be the class you think about throughout your semester, but if medicine is the route you want to take then I would highly recommend, she is accessible outside of class and gives good feedback. She will test you.

Dr. Washo-Krupps has a flipped classroom style, meaning she supplies (extremely useful) lecture videos and uses the class time to go over clicker questions and review important topics. Read through the powerpoints, watch the videos, and review clicker questions to be successful. BIO202 is tough, but she makes it enjoyable and rewarding!

Dr. Washo-Krupps is highly knowledgeable and leaves no stone unturned with Anatomy & Physiology. You WILL work hard in this class, probably harder than in most classes, but to ace the course is doable. Absorb the slides; the exams are derived from them. Clicker questions also reappear on tests. If you put in honest, daily work, it will pay off.

Dr. Washo-Krupps is a great anatomy professor and very knowledgable. The lecture exam were difficult but if you studied you were fine. She offers some extra credit and has many interesting lectures and tries to tie diseases and viruses into the material for pre-med students. She is willing to answer your questions and will help. Great Professor.

Dr. Washo-Krupps is organized, her course schedule is easy to follow, and the course blackboard page was easy to navigate. She was very responsive via email and on the Discussion Board. This is is a hard class, be sure to do all of the extra credit. If you want an A, be ready to spend 30-40 hours per week on coursework. It's a lot of work.

Dr. Washo-Krupps casual style belies her in-depth familiarity with anatomy & physiology. Shes very approachable, has a sense of humor, monitors the msg. board and responds quickly. After many hours of lectures, I appreciate her delivery without ums and uhs. BIO201 is way heavy on homework - forget about an A. Don't drag your GPA down.

DO NOT TAKE IF IT IS NOT A REQUIREMENT FOR YOUR MAJOR! The professor knows what she is talking about but the class overall is extremely hard. If you are not willing to put 20+ hours of studying in a week then you will not pass. LAB and lecture take the same amount of studying. Its like two separate classes. LAB is visual. Lecture is descriptive.

Dr. Washo-Krupps was a knowledgeable professor but there was A LOT of homework. Lecture is pretty straightforward (Exams are about 70-80 questions). Just study the notes carefully and you'll be fine. Lab, on the other hand, takes a lot more time and memorization. I got a 97, 71, 87, 86 on Exams 1-4 and a 80, 67, 97 on Practicals 1-3. Skipped final.

Hardest class I've ever taken but Dr. Washo-Krupps was very accessible and extra credit is available. Lecture exams are based on lecture content. Didn't read the book. Lab exams are based on lab terms lists. Spent 40 hours per week to maintain an A while working full time. Be ready to work hard.

The second half of anatomy is definitely easier on the lab side, but the lectures require you to attend since the entire lecture is a series of clicker questions, requiring you to review the material prior to class. Take pictures because these clicker questions usually are on the exams! Get a study group together for practicals and exams.

Super nice and super knowledgeable. The lecture part is tough, but is manageable. The lab, however, is awful. It's really hard and doesn't really line up with lecture. Lab should be a separate class.

This class is hard. The hardest class I have ever taken, but the professor is nice and knowledgeable. All these bad reviews must be unaware how intense anatomy classes can be. She helped me out when I had an issue during an exam and could not finish taking the test. I would say shes more than fair!

anatomy is tough but shes a fair prof! she offers ec and curved at the end. 4 tests, 1 final, a set of optional ws - lowest is dropped. lecture tests is mostly mc and few t/f. theres a lab with 3 practicals (mostly fill in the blank). other points from clicker questions for completion and online hw. start asap for hw since its long

Back after taking BIO202. Again, Dr. Washo-Krupps is very fair/knowledgeable and the class structure is similar to BIO201. Only difference is the active learning system which lets you skip class but participation points won't be factored into your grade. Exams were reasonable (study lecture slides) and labs were easier than BIO201 but TA-dependent!

Dr. Washo-Krupps is an extremely fair & understanding professor. To succeed in her course, I highly recommend doing the online homework as soon as she opens them (beginning of each unit). USE the rest of your time to study her notes! You will do well if you study/understand her lecture slides/notes inside-out (MEMORIZE some details if you have to)!

This is a difficult class, but if you put in the time and work it's do-able. She makes it really clear what you need to know for the exams, even though it is a lot of information. The lab is pretty difficult and completely separate from the class. There's a lot of practice so you can quiz yourself, but prepare to study a lot.

I was nervous coming into BIO201 because Dr. Washo-Krupps had some pretty negative reviews and I had never taken anatomy before. The class is tough because there is a lot of material, but it's not her fault! She is excellent at lecturing and really knows her stuff. Put in the energy and learn how to study smart -- you got this!

For class, there are participation points that you earn by doing clicker questions and even if you are wrong, you get credit for answering. There are powerpoints that you fill in the blanks on and she even has online lecture videos uploaded so you really do not have to pay attention in class. She is very kind and understanding. Got an A in 201/202

I had Dr. Washo-Krupps for both BIO 201/202 as well as MIC 401. She was a fantastic professor and lecturer. This class handled the transition as best as possible when all classes switched online due to the pandemic. There were slight changes in the schedule but nothing that wasn't necessary or without warning. I highly recommend taking her class.

Attendance is not technically mandatory but you will miss out on valuable participation points. Dr. Washo-Krupps was a fantastic professor and you can really tell how much she cares about the success of each and every student. Its a hard class but totally manageable if you are willing to put the time in. Take this class!

Dr. Washo-Krupps is one of the best professors on campus. She is brilliant, kind, and always willing to help. This semester was strange, and she was very fair to students about due dates, exams, homework etc. She even pushed assignment due dates back to give us extra time after transitioning to online. Believe me, she is a fantastic instructor!

Although this class is content heavy its organized in a way that makes it manageable. Due to COVID19 we had some deadlines extended during the transition to online. This is the only time Ive heard of this professor moving deadlines & I have taken both BIO 201 & 202 with her. She is very approachable & offers many resources to help you succeed.

It's A&P, so there is a lot of memorization of structures & functions. Lots of lectures and lab lectures. I HIGHLY recommend a hardcopy book to have as you do the worksheets and extra credit (4pts/chapter). Print out the study guides and fill in as you follow along with lecture. Use the PRACTICAL QUIZ function in APR, repeat until you get it.

She is very thorough but too much information to learn for a online class. I would choose to take one of her classes again.

Her lectures are very clear and her lecture videos are great. Highly suggest printing her notes and reading them over and over again. She assigns way to much homework to the point it does not help you study so prepare to struggle bus it when it comes to HW. She was thinking of decreasing the amount of HW for future classes so fingers crossed.

If you go to class and participate, do your homework, study well then you will pass. She is fare and will speak with you and address your concerns.

Dr. Washo-Krupps was always accessible- her grading was clearly laid out and is on a point system, meaning if you complete all of your assignments and are happy with your collected points you can skip tests or other assignments. You could literally pass the class skipping both finals. Her lectures were also great!

Tough love: most of these bad reviews are from people who weren't willing to work hard. It is hard, but she gives you every possible opportunity to improve your grade with weekly extra credit, tons of ways to earn points, & the exams DO NOT make or break your final grade. She is such a wonderful professor, knowledgable, organized, and reasonable.

Her lectures are really interesting & I thought the course was well organized. This course does make you work for it simply because there is so much information to know/memorize for exams and plenty of notes/HW to get through. However, there were numerous extra credit assignments to help improve your grade and better prepare you for exams.

I'm a dtphx student (nursing) & I took her instead of Daydif for MIC205, SO GLAD I DID! To be successful: be prepared for lots of hw and get ahead, use a tablet + notability to write directly on lecture slides to save time bc time is money, do study guides, read textbook, do extra credit. Do all those things & this class is easier than you think

This course was hard but Washo-Krupps was a great professor! For her lectures she gives fill in the blank notes, so it's useful to go to class. She gives study guides before every tests and also creates discussion boards so she can answer your questions. The homework is Connect worksheets and if you do them early she gives extra credit.

She's very caring and always willing to help. There are lots of homework but it will boost your grade. Zoom Lecture recordings are available that most of the other MIC205 professors don't provide TIP: read the textbook, go to classes (clicker questions), do studyguides

For the online course, lectures are all prerecorded but are of good quality. Prof Washo-Krupps lectures are organized, easy-to-follow, and engaging. Watching and taking notes carefully helped me the most in this class. BIO 202 is really demanding but the class is laid out with clear expectations and fair grading. I would take another class w/her

There are a lot of negative reviews on Dr. Krupps that I truly do not understand. I don't know everybody's personal situation, but this class was manageable. There are a lot of EC points awarded throughout the course. The muscle chapter was the most intense, but overall I learned a lot and I feel that Dr. Krupps was very accessible to me.

I am not so sure why people are giving her such bad reviews she was active on the discussion posts and got back to me with any questions or concerns that I had about my exams. This class is SUPER test-heavy but just go along with each video and do the study guides that she provides. The hardest part was the APR site that they use that was useless

this is a difficult class no doubt. it requires you to be able to apply knowledge and not just memorize. i would suggest taking notes on the textbook and lecture slides as the exams are similar to concepts on the exam. washo is more than willing to explain difficult concepts and what we need to know for the exam if you reach out. good luck!!

She is sweet and fun to listen to. The homework is 3 40-60 question worksheets a month and you take the notes at home, which is 3-5 8-minute videos every lecture (on 1.5x speed). The lectures are only for clickers, which makes them a bit unnecessary. Low extra credit makes it a harder grade than BIO201-40% tests, 36% lab, 12% participation, 12% hw.

I counted 68 assignments (+ 6 exams) in 7 weeks, which might not seem like much until you realize that they're supposed to take hours each. There is little time to study for each exam, and they don't really match the study lists. This class is extremely intense - it's best you don't take it if you have a job or other classes to deal with.

Nice lady. Brutal class set up and the exams never seem to correlate with the slides as much as you would expect.

i enjoyed krupps. online lecture videos outside of class and iclicker review in class. watch the lecture videos, fill in provided notes, do the connect worksheets and quizzes (all answers on quizlet), participate by getting iclicker points. exams are difficult but very doable. fill out study guides thoroughly + annotate, get A.

This is a hard class but this instructor made everything so much easier to manage. Study materials that represented tests very well and lectures that covered plenty of the material. Made a scary course tolerable.

Lectures are "active learning" style where you watch lecture videos on your own time and do clicker questions in class. SBs are not for extra credit but she does offer minimal extra credit for finishing assignments early. Lectures are not required but are helpful for the exams.

This class is not hard if you do your work. Keep up with the assignments - procrastinating will leave you struggling and you'll lose your chance for extra credit. Do the study guides for the exams - they are very reflective of the content that you will need to know.

202 is a hard class no matter who is teaching it because there is a tremendous amount of information to cover in a short period of time. This professor recorded ALL of the lectures for the class herself which is so nice. The tests are hard. But if you actually fill out the study guides and put in the time (30hrs+/wk) you will succeed.

exams are straightforward from the lectures. slightly more difficult than 201, but more interesting content. 7 exams in one semester for one class ended up making the semester very busy. lots of long hw that is pretty easy to get through, and participation points available out of lecture. ec available throughout the sem

very heavy course load

The class was a difficult start, but once you find the best method for studying (I reread the textbook and made quizzes on Quizlet. Lots of repetition!) the class is great! Reading the textbook is a must, because her lectures do not go into depth. They are more like summaries of the topics and you'll need more for exams.

Confused by the other ratings, I thought she explained concepts in an easy-to-understand, straightforward way. I would say this is one of the easier bio classes I have taken, and that there was a lot of room to get points. Study guides follow the lecture slides exactly and prepare you very well for the exams. You're fine if you've gotten this far.

I have taken A&P I & II with Dr. Washo-Krupps, and she is pretty great. These classes are very tough, and I was fortunate enough to be able to do them while only being a full-time student, because they require a lot of work. I found her lectures to be interesting and engaging, and I found her to be an understanding and reasonable professor.

Idk why everyone's exaggerating the class was actually good. The exams are not hard if you learn everything on the study guides, slides. She's supportive and has a lot of EC. Gives a lot of real life examples in class. You can choose if you wanna be graded by participation or not. There is homework for each chapter before exam. Lab's different tho.

Lots of extra credit saved my grade but her style of teaching is active learning which helped me actually understand the course content.

The class is a flipped class were you watch all of the lectures outside of class and then do iclickers in class. She has a weird grading scale that allows students to decide which categories of work they want to do. Overall I liked her but sometimes the tests were not exactly what she taught about.
