Ebbole is a great prof. but that does not mean the class is easy. If you are looking to go into any science or medical field she will teach at a lvl. consistent with four year universities. You can tell she has a passion for what she teaches and she makes a solid effort to teach everyone how to study for higher lvl. classes.

She cares more about staying on schedule than make sure we are understanding the material. Usually runs lecture into lab time, and has gone through a whole chapter in half of lab in order to finish on schedule. Reads straight from the slide, can't explain anything except how it's presented on the slide show. Exams difficult - but 100% lecture based

I would suggest another teacher but if u are stuck with her, just really pay attention in class and study for the tests a little bit each week. HW is easy but the tests are extremely difficult. It's beneficial to do the online hw assignments before lecture that way you have a basic understanding of the material and u r less likely to be confused.

I think Ebbole is a good prof and during class you have to be patient for her to get around to you when participating in lab projects. Remember she is merely one person compared to 25-30 students in her class. She has power-points you can look at but I would advise that anything she writes down during lecture you should write down as well.

Overall, A&P is just a tough subject, but it's interesting. That being said, I feel like she uses this class to make students going into the medical field question their abilities and career path. The expectations are unrealistic for students taking a full schedule. You will be teaching yourself the material, lectures are good for review.

A&P is a super hard class to begin with but Diane knows this and helps you every chance possible. I have never had a professor that works so hard to help her students succeed. She gives you online recordings of lectures, practice questions and quizzes and tons opportunities to boost your grade. Its hard and you have to work for it but its doable.

I loved this prof. She doesn't make you feel dumb if you don't know something, gives you a lot of study materials and really wants you to pass. This is a hard course so you have to put in the work but she really helps you. She curved the final and drops a lot of low grades. Would definately take her.

Anatomy & Physiology is an insanely hard class but this professor WANTS you to pass, and provides you with any and all material required to do it. You absolutely have to put in the work if you want to pass, but she sets you up for success throughout the whole semester. She is always willing to help with whatever you need. Wonderful professor.

Took her for an 8-week A&P1, obviously a difficult class so you have to work hard, but she made it so doable. Clear expectations, and gave lots of material to help study. Practice quizzes you can take repeatedly with same questions as quiz and gave the best examples/mnemonics to help us remember things. Got an A and loved class, best prof ever.

I thought she was wonderful in the beginning of the semester. Her lectures are long and none of it is ever on the test. She gives no guided study material, its all up to you. She makes a difficult class 20x more difficult for absolutely no reason. Good human. Bad professor. My entire class average was failing and almost half already dropped.

The best & sweetest professor I have ever had in my 3 years of college. This was an 8 wk AP1 course & I had just switched to a nursing major at the beginning of the 16 wk sem. This class, and the prof of course, really got me engaged, interested & excited that I switched my major. I'd take her for AP2. She also rewarded us with a treat every Friday

Her lectures are clear and easy to understand. She truly cares about every one of her students, and replies to emails quickly. TAKE HER, but don't expect an easy A.

Ok.. the class itself is very difficult. ANY anatomy course is going to be hard. This is not a course that you just are given an A or even B. There are lots of exams and she doesnt give extra credit, but she does round up some grades at the end of the course. She is SUCH a nice lady and really cares. An A is possible if you REALLY put in the work.

I will give Professor Ebbole some grace because I took A&P 1 during a covid semester. However, the class is very reliant on lecture material and the exams are extremely difficult. Memorizing ALL learning objectives is required if you want to receive a decent grade in this class. Lab exams are fairly easy, but little extra credit is given to help.

Dr. Ebbole is an amazing professor! This was her first semester teaching Biol 2402 so she was a little all over the place. She defiantly would not dumb down her lectures and talked like we all had a PhD in biology. She would lecture in lab so that meant barely any time for the labs. She will get more comfortable with it over time though.
