Very hard class, she doesn't accept crappy work. One of the best teachers I ever had, even though I only got a C. Really cares about and respects students, but makes them work their asses off.

demanding teacher, but a wonderful teacher. never learned so much in my life

Good class..good teacher.

i have a "D" but she is a great professor, i like the way she teaches

very clear on what you need to do, hard teacher and hard class, didn't seem like a learned much but I still got an A

She is a very nice professor, flexable and soft for her students. She treats all student equal. She is a real prof.

Ragsdales a+p class kicks ass. Its a "weed out class" but there aren't many other classes where you will be forced to learn as much.

Hard class overall but she presents the information well and makes you learn it. There is more extra credit as the semester goes on so don't worry!

She's a great prof! You learn so much & she engages students during lecture. The only reason you shouldn't get an A or B in this class is if you expect it to be easy & don't go. MC on tests is fairly difficult but study an hour & get an A, seriously!

seems to think she is the best prof in the world...wake up lady..your not

Her tests are extremely hard! If you ever ask a question she seems to gasp at how stupid you are for having to ask. She is willing to hear suggestions (like a retake for an exam) but you better good reasons to back it up. She is very unclear on due dates and what she expects changes daily.

i always heard horror stories, but they're not real. just lil freshman mostly that freaked out cuz they're not up to par. i didn't read the textbook AT ALL and i aced every test. study her notes from class only. hardest part for me was writing the lab reports. gotta put in some work for an A.

Absolutely a fantastic person; difficult course material presented in a manner which doesn't necessarily help the learning process. Not much she can do about that though it's just a flat out TOUGH class...once again very nice person and awesome to hold a conversation with...WORK YOUR BUTT OFF you'll be happy in the end.

For all of you who don't understand due to her Teaching style, you'll be thanking her later on in your college careers when everything she's done to challenge you helps you to surpass expectations. She's challenging, but do your work, study hard, and LEARN. After all that is why we're all here. Get to know her...fantastic person!!!

Lectures are a lot more clear than Wilsons!

She is AMAZING! I loved going to her lectures, she makes everything easy to understand. She will keep working with the class until they understand the material. Be prepared for difficult tests, she likes to challenge you and make you think outside the box, so really know her lecture material and the material in the book front and back!

Dr. Ragsdale is an amazing teacher. She explains things very well, answers any questions you might have. She wants her students to do well, and involves them in lectures. She does case studies with you to help you apply things on your own. She gives out free points here and there if you just do your stuff. Excellent prof, take her, not Wilson!

I thought Dr. Ragsdale was a great teacher. See gets you thinking about physiology. She is not a hard professor per say but raither the class is hard because you cover alot of material. Become interested in the class and read and study the book and youll find your self doing well and considering it as one of your best classes

A lot of people don't understand her as a professor and find it really difficult to get through her classes. If you listen in class, take notes on her powerpoints and take interest in the class it will be much easier. Also take some time to get to know her and use office hours, things become a lot more clear this way!

She was an extremely helping professor and very fair. Her tests really arent bad at all if you go to class and actually listen and study her notes.

I loved this class. It was challenging, but if you work hard and apply yourself, you can get an A.

Well if you were like me and took Loewen first semester, IT WAS A BREEZE!!! Hardly did any studying, but when I had Ragsdale I did on average 3-4 hours a day studying just for Anatomy and Physiology! That class was a huge pain, but she did an awesome job teaching you what you needed to know and kept you thinking. Yes she expected you to seriously k

She is a great teacher with tons of knowledge. She is hard though. She instructs at a high level so that some people get confused, but she has high expectations for her students. This class/teacher will require a lot of studying and work, but she is a great teacher. If you put the time into the class, you'll learn a ton.

You'll get out as much as you put in to be honest, but i found her to be really fun and easy to learn from. Her class is hard, but she makes it fun to learn and does expect quite a bit out of her students. I would highly recommend her. Plus she lets you use cheat sheets on all your tests!!! major help.

Her expectations were clear in the objectives worksheets. There is no bull**** tolerated in your work (papers or tests); if you try to beat around the bush and BS an answer on a test, you will receive minimal points). Therefore, you should study and KNOW YOUR STUFF. She works very hard to give you the necessary tools to learn the material.

Honestly, she's really not that bad. Read the book, go to lab, go to open lab, go to s2i, STUDY. You get a cheat sheet for every test. The tests can be tricky but she curves. She takes attendance points by handing things back, so go to class. She also has easy "turn in" assignments that she doesnt really grade. Honestly I really liked her.

She is definitely a tough professor, but her class isn't impossible. You get a piece of paper front and back for tests. The final is cumulative, but you can use all your previous cheat sheets. Go to class, pay attention, and take good notes. S2i ALWAYS helps. She curves her tests!! READ THE TEXTBOOK. You get what you put into it.

I absolutely loved Dr. Ragsdale! Just pay attention in class, and make sure to write down all that she writes on the board. Her tests aren't bad, I never scored lower than a B. She's a really nice lady, and funny too. I was honestly scared to take her, but she is a lot better than she seems. The cheat sheets are an added bonus!

LOVE HER!! She gives a cheat sheet for each test. Front and back of an 8 by 11 piece of paper! Easy to listen too, and will answer any question you have. TAKE HER!!!

I took Professor Ragsdale for A&P 2 and overall had a great experience. I will say that sometimes lectures felt a little bit long (2 hour class/twice per week) but she is very clear in explaining detailed things. She stresses critical thinking over just memorization and gives you clear chapter objectives you should know before exams. Do the reading

Dr. Ragsdale makes Anatomy and Physiology manageable. The test is heavily related to the lecture, which is usually pretty easy to follow, and you get to use cheat sheets on all exams (even the final). You do have to work for this class, but I did not put an insane amount of hours in and I passed. I wouldn't have passed A&P without Ragsdale.

Dr. Ragsdale has been my favorite professor so far. A very nice person and has great stories. Going into the class I was scared because of the other ratings, but she is awesome. You get out what you put in the class, it's anatomy so its not supposed to be easy. Curves the tests and you get to use two sided cheat sheets which are extremely helpful.
