I love Wiley! She makes her lectures really easy to understand and she gives lots of practice worksheets. In the beginning of each class, she uses clicker questions that go towards your grade/attendance so show up to class! Test questions match with worksheets and clicker questions. I would most definitely take her again!!

Anatomy is a hard class in general, but Wiley makes it easy to understand her lectures. She goes off her powerpoints, so that you will not have to read the textbook. She gives worksheets and questions throughout her powerpoints to help you learn.

Professor Wiley is great. I was scared coming into this class because the anatomy courses are very hard. She gives quizzes and makes sure you understand the material. You will need to put in a lot of work, but Professor Wiley makes sure you are prepared for the tests with her lectures. She is an extremely smart lady and i recommend her.

Dr. Wiley is a solid choice for BIOL1107 Lab. She clearly knows her stuff, takes plenty of time explaining the labs before hand, and is forgiving during lab blunders. She does grade the science papers pretty hard, but in all fairness, if you follow her rubrics or at least try to stay consistent with the rubric you will do fine. Great professor.

Dr. Wiley is a great professor to have for both lab and lecture. She explains what we're doing well without lecturing too long. She's a fair grader on the few assignments in lab and the online quizzes are very reasonable. The downside is the practicals are very detailed and a low grade on those can ruin your average no matter your quiz grade.

Attendance IS taken, by online polling questions which you have to do for a participation grade. Other than that, the other reviews are right. Her lectures are meant for review of the online homework, but she's still good at teaching it. She posts all her slides and summary versions, which were super helpful!
