I would not take her she is a very poor teacher.This teacher does not like to answer questions. She acts as if students should know the material already. Her class is all notes. She has no time to teach because she is so busy writing notes. Always has a sour face and poor attitude just a drag for her and her students. VERY HIGH DROP AND FAIL RATIO.

She is by far one of the worse teachers I have ever had.

Very hard teacher doesn't go by the lectures she says she does not teach by the book yet you have to buy a 200 dollar book.

Do not take this class! She is like a drill Sargent with a really bad attitude! Gulf Coast College....hello?...do you read these at all? This is not your best instructor! She is abrasive, cold, uninterested, not at all helpful, and makes the students feel completely stupid when they ask a question! DO NOT TAKE THIS TEACHER! Run the other way!

This women was awful.. If you had a question she would all but cuss you out.. and tell you that you could not think for yourself, material on test is not covered in class. Test consists of multiple choice questions in which there are two correct answers but you must pick the one she wants. Extrememly horrid teacher. Do Not Take Her!!!!

she was absolutely the worst teacher i have ever had in my life!!! her tests dont match the notes that she gives you and heaven forbid you ask her a question then you are treated as if you are a moron!!! she should not be allowed to continue with such a low success rate!!!!!!!!!!!!

First of all, I was extremely excited to start this class in the fall. The anatomy and physiology courses are critical to the field I hope to be practicing in. I willingly signed up for Ms. Ellis's class in spite of everything I had heard. Perhaps the reviews I had heard were from students who maybe did not take the class seriously or was not

Do not take this class. Funny that I barely pass and all my friends who have other teachers have all A's. There are questions on tests that were never covered, and when you ask a question, she makes you seem stupid. If you do take her, check your tests when you get them back, she will mark about 5 right answers wrong and will make you lose points.

This will be the THIRD time taking this class....(not because I'm stupid either FYI). there aren't any other teachers teaching this class which is ridiculous. she mumbles way too much and whenever you ask a question she either gets mad or looks at you like you're retarded. IF there is another teacher for this class, taken them instead!!!

Horrible. Horrible. Horrible. Do not take Ellis! Not only is she a bad teacher that doesnt teach the proper material, she's doesnt even test you on the right material, therefore you will fail! More times than one did she have to take back up the test to remove questions and rescore tests, very unorganized! Very hard! DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS!

exam questions do not follow study guide or videos. She expects you to memorize every chapter in the book.

AWWWWWFUL!!! Had to retake it the next semester...got a different teacher and did great.

Don't ask a question, she will bite your head off or make you feel completely stupid. She hates her job and seems to hate the subject. She has no interest in interacting with students and the study guides are horrible preparations for the test. The only thing that saved me in this class was the take home test. WHY IS SHE STILL TEACHING????

WHY IS SHE STILL TEACHING!? HORRIBLE HORRIBLE TEACHER! DO NOT take her by any means. Her notes do not follow her study guides, tests, videos, or the book! Take anyone but her!

Worst teacher ever.. Her tests have questions that she doesn't go over or provide information for. I am not going into the medical field so this class was very difficult for me to understand, but I passed the Lab class with an A... The only reason she's still allowed to teach is because she has her 10 year. She doesn't care about her students.

TERRIBLE!She is unwilling to help and study guides and notes are useless. I have a 3.92 GPA and was very unsuccessful in this class. I believe that hard work pays off, but all the work in the world will not help pass this class unless you have a photographic memory and can memorize the text. She is unprofessional and biased as to who she helps.

Study guides were provided, but did not really relate to tests. If you are not there to take notes and cannot study the notes, as well as learn the actual concepts on your own, you will not pass. Forget making an A. You can pull one off until the final exam, then the final brings questions out of left field. It covers things NEVER in the notes.

I spent at least an hour EVERY day of the semester studying! I had an A up until the final, after the final (which I studied extensively for) I barely passed with a C! Questions on the final were never covered in the course! Can't say enough bad things about her! Avoid her at all costs!

This was the worst teacher I have ever taken, I will not recommend her to anyone eles. The only way to pass is if you quit your job and only study for her class. The study guides do NOT help, dont even bother asking her because se will say "I wrote it on the board". I have never failed a class till now.I should have listen to what other people said

Worst teacher I have ever had! The study guide is NOTHING like the test. If you ask a question in class, she will make you look stupid in front of everybody. She asked my class if we had any questions and the girl next to me raised her hand. She looked straight at her and said "anybody else have any questions?"

This is the first time I truly met a teacher who had no interest in helping or seeing students succeed in any way. This is a Humanities 3 required course for a general AA, I managed to get an A in it, but you have to use notes at all times. That's if you can even conceive meaning through her slurred video lessons. TAKE IT ONLINE. Trust me.

Horrible "teacher"! 60% of grade based on hard tests, 15% on chapter quizzes, 25% on final (final has to be taken on campus). Only way to do well on the tests is to literally write down every single word she says and use notes at all times. My final grade was 89.48 and she wouldn't round up to an A. That was the highest grade in the class -__-

Worst professor I have ever had. It is almost impossible to study for any of her tests because none of the reviews or videos jive, not to mention the ridiculous amounts of grammar and spelling errors. She seems to go out of her way to make things difficult, and she is rude. She is NOT teaching materia. Do not take her class.

I HATE this class. It's a shame to say that, being that I was so excited for it. I am a nursing major, so A&P is the most important class I'll take, and she has managed to make me hate it. Terrible "professor". She gives a study guide for each exam and says that ALL questions on exam will come from it, but maybe 10-20% of them actually do.

Hardest class I have ever taken, and it was impossible to make an A in this class. Her tests are extremely hard and the study guides were almost pointless. You are pretty much on your own in the online class. I'd take any other professor, just not her. I emailed her to ask for help, and she never returned my email.

Review questions are not helpful for quizzes or test. Test are HARD with little time to complete them. I would truly not recommend this class. It is extremely difficult.

Went to Ellis several times for help and she was always unwilling, irritated, discouraging and angry. She talks to everyone as if they are beneath her, which I find odd because a truly wise person does not deem themselves superior over everyone else. I never write reviews but she gave me such a horrible and awful impression I had to make it known.

Web course is extremely difficult. Her powerpoint/lecture videos are too fast, you have to pause constantly to keep up with the note taking, and don't cover much of what's on the exam. Tests and quizzes give you very little time to work. Never replies to emails.

Web A&P 2. None of material given for studying, i.e. notes or quizzes, even correlated with her long tests that were inadequately timed. Her PPs didn't line up with any test questions. She'd use terms that weren't in our textbook and expect us to know what they were. When I confronted her, she denied anyone ever needed help and I was the problem.

If you have the time to read the online book word for word, watch her hour long lectures, take notes, complete all the test at the end of the chapters and do all her reviews, youll probably still fail. Oh yeah and the exams and test are ridiculously timed. So if you have testing anxiety, good luck.

I took A&P online and her way of teaching was recording her 2 hour long lectures and uploading them as videos for her online students. She is not flexible at all if you need to take a test a day or two early because the tests are locked until the day of the test. After the test, you only have 3 days to review it before it locks again. Beware!

Supposedly a basic biology class, but that is not the case. Get ready to sit through several 40-minute monotone PowerPoint videos. The information discussed in the videos aren't always what is on the chapter quizzes. Also the quizzes and tests are TIMED. Giving you a short, unreasonable amount of time to learn the overwhelming amount of material.

SO. MANY. POWER POINTS. Makes you sit through hour long monotone lectures while going through the power points. Tried to go talk to her and she wasn't helpful whatsoever.

She never responds to emails when you ask her for help. Doesnt follow through with her syllabus when she stated she will drop the lowest grades. Hours and hours of PowerPoints ... bad teacher in general.

Multiple choice tests at home w/ lockdown. Many questions with multiple right answers, typos, purposefully confusing wording. Quizzes are easy enough but tests have entirely different questions. She drops verbal hints toward test questions during her extensive, monotone lectures, usually about stuff not in the PPs, so listen up. Wouldn't recommend.

I do not recommend this professor at all ! I just took this class last semester in Georgia , but it didnt transfer so I decided to take her online class since I just took it and when I say nothing correlated and no matter how much you studied nothing helped in this class . She is not caring and she does not care if you fail .

Hard tests and quizzes , long boring video lectures , took the course online but I think it wouldnt have been any better on the classroom . Professor wont drop the lowest grade as it says on the syllabus , regretting deeply having taking this class with her.

Worst professor I ever had. The only learning tool was monotone, boring, often times incorrect lectures. Huge percentage of grade was ridiculously timed tests that contained trick questions. She was never available for help and was often rude. Avoid this professor at all costs.

SO. MANY. TYPOS. She can't even fix the grammar in her slide shows let alone pronounce things correctly. It's not clear what's going to be on the quizzes or tests. If you have time (which you probably won't) I recommend you need to read the textbook and watch videos on 1.5x, do all questions in the book, and review sheets. She simply doesn't care!

Had an A in the class until the final. The average grade for the final was 35 and the highest score was a 79. Speaks volumes whenever one student cannot even make a B on the final. Read the textbook. Lectures are dull and full of wrong information. Not a pleasant experience.

If you learn by doing, this is not the class for you. This is simply a memorize and repeat class. There is no actual learning going on. The lectures are impossible to listen to because she just reads PowerPoint's in a monotonous tone that makes you wan to pull your hair out. The tests are difficult and strictly timed. Ruined biology for me.

Avoid at all cost. I had a 87 all semester. And bombed the final with a 61. My grade ended up a 79%. She doesnt round grades. Test very hard. Some questions are worded ridiculously. Hard class for no reason. AVOID AVOID AVOID. As a man Ive never been soo upset over a course. This time I cried because of grade. She didnt want to help either!

Just don't.

I took her class online. She record her lectures and they are a pain in the to sit through. Very drawn out and boring. A lot of the questions on the quizzes and test are not material she ever discussed and they do jot go along with the PowerPoint . Find another professor to Dave your GPA

If youve read through the rest of the reviews, they are 100% accurate. Very long power points with lots of diagrams that you have to memorize for the test. Would not recommend at all.

If you are looking to read and review material that will not be on the test then this is the class for you. I have no clue along with others when she gets her test questions from. There are a 5 test and a final. She will not work with you at all. Stay away from this professor!!!!

Her teaching style is pretty bad. I would read the book, do the lectures, do the review sheets, and study and still, she would have questions on the quizzes and tests that were never taught or given. She will not budge if you contact her with questions that are incorrect that she did. I would avoid this teacher at all cost.

Make sure you read the book. There are so many things on the tests that she does not cover in lectures or on PowerPoint.

STEER CLEAR. How on earth is she director of the health sciences division??? Her lectures are awful, contradicting to the book, and doesn't cover what she puts in her exams. She will not admit to being wrong about anything. Idk if her tests or lectures are outdated and she refuses to update them-- but they differ from the exams. DO NOT TAKE!!!!

Information overload!! The lecture videos are old and terrible quality. It's extremely difficult to hear/understand a lot of what is being said. You can't see anything on the videos either. There are also powerpoints but there is just SO much information, most of which is not tested on. The class is also VERY chemistry heavy.

The structure that this professor has for the online course is not the best for a science class. There are very little assignments (tests and quizzes) and there are very few course materials to ensure that we understand the materials. I'd avoid taking this class with this professor during the summer or for a session B, C, E class.

Very unhelpful and rude. Took it online and while she has a strict schedule for quiz and test deadlines, they can be harrowing since you only have two to three days to study the material, the whole chunk of information within the chapter. Not easy when you're a full time student studying for other classes. Take in person if you can.

I would rather drink a bucket of red 40 dye than take this class again. The tests sometimes just threw questions that were not on the study guide or lectures, or be COVERED in tiny details and none of the stuff you would actually devote to memory. Study so hard just to make like a 60. Good luck if it's a required class.

Ms. Ellis is the worst professor I have ever had as far as getting a response back goes. I sent multiple emails across the entire semester and didn't receive a response for a month and counting. There are questions on the test that directly contradict the textbook, or are just absent entirely from the study guide. Do not take this class.

Took her Anatomy 1 online and she not great. Terrible about responding to emails. She will not open a test early even if you are on a cruise with no wifi. Her test questions frequently directly contradict the textbook and the internet. Does not truly teach but more spouts info at you and then tell you to study a study guide which doesn't help.

Probably the worst class I've took so far. Very lecture and test heavy. And the tests don't always follow the textbook. Avoid this class if you can.

Horrible…. Lectures and PowerPoints are 100 slides long. She's all over the place. She's very smart and very passionate. She seems to love her job. Her test are wordy and hard to understand

I had her for human biology, and she was a very bland person in general, first of all. She does not give you assignments, rather throws loads of powerpoint slides at you and uses outdated, usually flawed lectures. She was a very short and rude person the few times I tried to contact her. If you don't have to, do not take her.

Avoid this college professor

AVIOD AVIOD AVOID!!!!!

Took online (my only option). The reviews are true. Speaking to her did not help. Her advice: "You must memorize entire lectures/slides." "quizzes are supposed to be "easy" & I should be able to ask you anything." *The study guides DO NOT HELP. The test have trick questions & the questions are worded strangely. Only quizzes+5 exams+ final.

This Professor is just bad at teaching. She will mention things in her lectures (which are boring and don't keep your attention) that aren't included in the study guides or slides and then test you on those. The study guides don't help. She really needs to restructure her curriculum or quit because she isn't really “teaching” anything. AVOID

Genuinely wanted to understand how the body works on a more complex level. Unfortunately, test are only multiple choice, yet the lectures, study guides, and extra credit do NOT match the format we're actually graded on as they are diagram heavy. 17 quizzes, 5 exams, 5 bonus assignments-only 7points each. Only cares about rote recall, doesn't teach.
