What an amazing professor! She's a caring and helpful teacher. She is new at BC. So, she's just getting the hang of things but she really is awesome. She goes over power points and gives a review off of those power points. I studied the power points and did extremely well on my last test (100%). She is definitely worth taking. I'll miss taking her!

She gives a lot of chances for extra credit.

Great professor! There's lots to know and I think she does the best she can without making it too easy or too confusing/overcomplicated! graded on lab pages and a quiz every week+midterm+final+**A LOT OF EXTRA CREDIT**. not an easy class, definitely need to study, but that is to be expected with any anatomy class. take advantage of extra credit!!!!

Dr. Cohen was the best!! Very hard class, but its a hard class no matter what. Make sure to do the extra credit and all of the assignments. If you do everything she assigns, you will pass the class with no problem. I failed both the final & midterm and still ended up with a C in the class.

She really makes you work for your grade. Kind of makes it a little difficult especially during COVID time. I didn't do good in my final or mid term and still ended up with a C. She responds promptly and her homework counts for a lot. In the beginning it felt like her material didn't really match her powerpoints or slides in the actual quizzes.

If you have a life DO NOT take this professor. I am a straight-A student and this is my first B. I DID EVERY HOMEWORK AND SHE IS JUST NOT IT.. Tests are EXTRA HARD and they are all in lockdown browser. When you email her she is NOT straight forward and she would dump around to give you an answer. I took the lab with her, WORST TEACHER!

She gives a lot of extra credit but she makes her class harder than it needs to be and its an online class. I asked her to be specific on what would be on her test from the PowerPoint which are like 100+ pages long and she said no and laughed so she does not give af and Ive had nicer professors than her, and no I wouldnt take her again.

This class is a lot of work no matter what professor you do it with. Dr. Cohen knows her stuff but I felt like she wasnt willing to put any extra effort in outside the online shell. She was very unwaivering and tests did not exactly match her powerpoints. There is a lot of extra credit and if you do the lab pages you should be ok.

All she does is goes through her PowerPoints of 100+ pages. Theres 16 practicals and 16 chapter tests, all fill in the blank and spelling does matter. Everyone bombed the Mid term and Final. What save me was labs and extra credit. Towards the last month of classes she ended an 1+ early and we pretty much had to help each other pass. Remote class.

Professor Cohen does know her subject but doesn't put the greatest effort for the students. Her grading seems unfair, judging how much she is giving. To have a greatly amount of homework for them to weigh so little seems unfair. Furthermore, the exams weigh so much, if you fail them you're done for. She should find a middle ground for her class.

Please avoid this teacher. Im not sure what broward is thinking but they need to reevaluate these professors. Absolutely soulless. 5 minutes on the quiz which to me is ridiculously to shorts for first time students taking the course. The practical is random, no reviews. No second chances, I think its mean to students and our futures.

Im not sure where she gets her good reviews from but mine is 100% honest. The exams are custom by her, all proctored and have alot of fill in the blank and matching. Alot of questions were on material not covered by assignments or quizzes. And yes she does offer 4 extra credit assignments. Id avoid this class like the plague

For someone who just sits behind a computer grading and not teaching, she is really tough and makes it apparent she does not care about her students success. I did everything for this class and studied my butt off, but her tests are ridiculous. She puts fill in the blanks and plenty of trick questions. Good reviews are fake. Don't take this class.

This is quite possibly the worst class I have taken in 2 years. She does NOT care. I had a meeting with her to express my concerns and she didn't know her own exams or assignments questions. Content is really hard, exams after every Unit, quizzes and assignments after every section. Trick questions, not all related to material. HARDEST CLASS ever.

It takes a lot of effort to get a good grade in the class and the professor makes you work hard for the grade. Most of the score consists of the Labster simulators and I would recommend finishing them early. Her quizzes mostly fill in the blanks. other than that she is a good professor and accessible and respond to email outside of class.

I reach out to schedule zoom calls to discuss concerns she is attentive and fair. This is a difficult class Anatomy Physiology and the Lab are both difficult but it takes time to learn the material.

Professor Cohen was very nice and responded to the messages quickly. There is a lot of images of cells and organs to identify, you need to be great at memorizing stuff. The test were only 1 hour and I consider is not enough time. She gives extra credit assignments so take advantage of those. Labs are fun.

Easy online labs and homework. A major portion of your grade consisted of 2 exams where you had to identify muscles, tissues, etc. with no word bank. Very difficult, but the department creates the curriculum, not Professor Cohen. Responses to emails were fast. Office hours are very flexible, and I could meet with her on Zoom the same or next day.

Professor Cohen was very responsive, she has great communication and accessible via text. I took A&P lab online and it was difficult, every quiz and the 2 exams were all fill in the blank and spelling counts. I failed the midterm and still passed the class with a B. Just study all of her practical powerpoints and you'll pass the class.

Practical #1 was tough but I got an 81. I didn't know how to study. Practical #2 was easy for me. I studied for 1 week and got a 98%. Study smart and wisely.

Midterm and final are 60 questions each, ALL fill in the blank (no word bank), 60 minutes to take, if spelled wrong the answer is wrong, can't go back to question once you submit answer. For midterm she wanted us to study over 1000+ slides. 11 exercises with 11 powerpoints with over 100-300 slides each. All tests different. All A&P are like this.

The midterm and final are 60 questions in 60 minutes which is 30% of the final grade. no multiple choice and its auto graded so if you used another study method that was even a slightly bit different to the wording from the "guides" she linked you're failing. the work is crowded and honestly just gave me a headache by how disorganized it was.
