Awesome teacher! Gives crystal clear reviews with usually 125 questions on it, you find the answers to those and she pulls 50 questions from it and uses that as the test. She posts all her notes on the internet so you dont use your book at all in class, just to find the answers for the review. GREAT TEACHER!!

She's great! She makes the material pretty easy to understand and really helps you with test by giving you a review to complete. I feel you have to learn on your own because her class/test is more memorization to make the grade, but if you are going into the medical field you really need to self teach the material. I'd take her again if I had to

This has to be 1 of da best teachers i've taken @ TCC. It is not mandatory to attend all her lectures but it's a smart way to go. She gives reviews questions that are on her test. TIP: don't just answer the rev. question go in depth or you'll probably be lost on the test b/c she expects you to u know the materials. Easy final comes from prev. test

Dr. P is nice and funny, but when you ask her questions, she doesn't really know the material. I took API with a different instructor.

She only showed up to class about every other time because she has chrons disease, yet is not at all helpful at catching you up on what should have been taught.

I didn't buy the lecture book--just the lab book. Used Wikipedia for review answers. Seemed like no one in my class was able to get an A in the course. Tests are pretty difficult, but you can pass if you study her reviews. No reviews for the 2 lab tests, so be prepared to fail (both are difficult) if you don't study the handouts and worksheets.

This woman is absolutely deplorable. She has no logic; it simply amazes me that she is a biology prof. She is opinionated to the point of being obnoxious and clouds lectures with erroneous interjection. I got an ?A? ONLY because I read the book. She was fine to me, but to those she didn?t like she was rude, condescending, and unaccommodating.

I took Dr. P for both A&P 8 week courses and they were the hardest classes I've taken so far, but they are worth it! She's a great professor and is available to help you when you need it. Keep in mind this is college and an 8 week course, so a lot of the work is on your own. She gives great lectures and is really entertaining!

Everything is laid out for you at the start. If you fail, you didn't try hard enough. Dr. P makes sure that you know she is available by email, during office hours or her designated study center time so contrary to some reviews, she is there to help you. If you didn't take advantage, that's your fault. Wish she taught more courses!

Dr. Preston is a wonderful professor. She is knowledgeable and will help you in any way that she can. She's very confident and has a pleasant demeanor, with a nice humorous side to break the ice. If I needed to take any more classes that she offers, I'd choose her over anyone else at TCC.

Dr. Preston is an amazing instructor. A&P is not an easy course and you will certainly have to work for an "A." She will help you in any way possible to achieve that. I'd choose her over any other A&P instructor at TCC.

I honestly hated life during this class. Very unprofessional, late, rude, absent professor. Read the book, teach yourself. Doesn't know the models, can't answer questions about them but they will be on lab practicals. Learn to love the SLC, you will need it. Good luck!

Recently had Dr. P for A&P 1 and 2 for her blended 8-week course. It was surprising not has difficult as I had originally thought it would be. The lectures exams are all practical question if you read the book and powerpoint you will pass. Lab exams which was my favorite is all memorization not complicated at all. I give her two thumbs up.

She is AMAZING!! Took the 8 wk blended and do not regret one bit of it. It is fast paced and yes you have to teach yourself bc this class is formatted that way but Dr. Preston helps you understand the harder materials in lecture. She is funny,engaged, and laid back.

Dr. Preston has been the best professor I've had so far! Her lectures are extremely throughout and interesting. She is interactive with the class, and tells you exactly what you need to know. She explains all her powerpoints with clear points. She grades and posts exams within a few hours. Shes hilarious and makes the class fun. I recommend her!!!

Dr. Preston is a very good teacher, but she is kinda rude on occasion and treats you like you are stupid if you ask a question or don't understand something. She grades pretty hard and doesn't drop or change grades.

The connect practice learn smart questions saved my life. Review your exams afterward so you can learn from your mistakes. It also shows her how much you care about the class.

Inadequate time for online quizzes; really hard to get through all questions. Lectures didn't help me; didn't get anything I needed for the tests. Her version of extra credit (if she offered any) isn't really helpful; it was the most commonly missed questions on the recent test. If you could answer them, written out, then you got extra points.

Read, read, and read some more. Dr. Preston gives out a review but didn't use it due to information not being on the test. If you decide to take her class be sure to come in ready to study. She does offer a lot of extra credit. The test isn't her own. So if she finds a question she didn't like she will give you credit for it if you got it wrong.

Dr. Preston is very nice and easy to reach outside of class but I would not say she's the best professor to take this course with. She did not lecture so you basically teach yourself from the book and a few crash course videos. She may be amazing if the class is in person but would not recommend her for an online course.

RUN! I took her online Fall 2021. I ended up dropping as she did not post lectures, therefore you were left to teach yourself all material. There was also an issue with technology and she was anything but accommodating even after showing her proof of what I submitted was correct. SAVE your TIME and STRESS, DO NOT take this class.

There are better professors, she doesnt make her own tests for either lab or lecture so her reviews are pointless. The exams are long and not enough time to take them. Just very lazy overall, all you will do in this class is cram from the book and be able to retain maybe a few things from it.

Eileen Preston is the best professor you can take for such a difficult course such as anatomy. Her lectures were clear and straight to the point for what's on her exams. I came out of every lecture more confident. She also was a very caring teacher and would occasionally bring snacks. I feel extremely lucky to have had her as my professor.

One thing is a class being difficult but another is a negligent professor! Her lectures are useless, my class collectively decided to skip them and go straight to the book .Tests are proctored/generated by McGrawHill so anything in the book is game. Check/SS your quizzes and email her for correction since grading is always incorrect by McGrawHill.
