DO NOT TAKE THIS TEACHER! No direction what so ever! This is a hard subject to most but this teacher discourages even the best students, and I am a straight A student and got a C. Tests are worded very strangely, and the class average on test was only about 50%. Lectures have no order and teacher does not grasp the material herself!

She is a little strange and she does skip around in lecture but shes a good teacher, you just have to learn her style. A&P is a hard subject so be prepared to work! I've made A's & B's on her tests.

I took her for lab, and she is one of the best teachers ever. She spends the whole class time going over every model and reviewing. She even gives you analogies to help remember all the body parts she does count off for spelling but so does every other A&P lab teacher except most of them DON'T teach they give you a need to know sheet and that's it!

This woman is a terrible instructor. A militant throwback from the 70's. Students were constantly correcting her for her mistakes. I think the college doesn't have anyone else to teach the course because this one is pitiful.

Ms. Daly is quirky and fun. She is the only college professor I've had at TCC who took the time to learn each student by name. The content is HARD (lots of memorization), but she is great. As previous comments have said, use the website to study and you'll know exactly what you need to know. I hope to have her again for 2086L next semester.

Professor Daly might be pretty heavy on the grading and a bit all over the place, I still learned quite a bit from her class. Honestly it was the easiest class I've taken so far because I respect the material. I would hope that someone who is trying to become a medical professional knows their stuff and didn't get to breeze through an easy class

Anatomy is already a hard class and she makes it even worse to understand. Definitely take another professor! Shes all over the place. Instead of teaching she asks the class questions and assumes we know the answers even though we havent learned the material. She posts powerpoints but leaves blanks so you need to come to class to get the answers

Prof. Daly is challenging, but shes great. She expects her students to act as adults and be respectful. If youre disrespectful and inconsiderate, that wont be tolerated in her class. She cares about her students, and shes more than willing to provide extra help. A&P labs are tough in general, but she does all she can to help.

I really enjoyed Dr. Daly's class. She is a little bit eccentric but I think it makes the class more interesting. You can tell she's very passionate about anatomy and wants her students to succeed. It is no more difficult than any other anatomy lab would be. Exams are fill in the blank no word bank, with two extra credit questions at the end.

Shes not a bad teacher its just hard to teach an anatomy class online so I have to give her some doubt. The class itself is hard because of the class, you HAVE to study all of the time for exams but the stuff you study is exactly whats in the exam, no surprises. If you dont study you will fail but thats with any anatomy class.

IF you take her class, be prepared to just learn anatomy by yourself, she hardly teaches, just spends about 80% of the class asking you questions and getting irritated when you or your classmates don't know the answer. You only get 8 grades per semester, and she takes forever to respond to emails. You are much better of trying to find someone else

Part 1) TOUGH GRADER!! She gives no hw only classwork. You could miss a day of class with a valid reason, do the assignment, and give proof and she will not care. Her class is challenging due to way she gives out assignments and her grading style. In the later parts of the course the ways she grades tests/ assignments are absolutely mind-blowing.

I should have known what was going on when each time I showed up to class there were fewer and fewer people.

I loved taking her lab class! ITS A TOUGH CLASS REGARDLESS OF YOUR PROFESSOR! Know that! But she gave EXACTLY what she wanted on her practicals and quizzes. My best advice is create a copy and paste method. like actually print cut and paste the images into a notebook and label everything yourself, get a study buddy and test eachother, great method.

Prepared or not, the first hour is a disjointed lecture. The professor lacks respect, grades papers inaccurately, and is short-tempered when you try to clarify. Despite attempts at self-teaching, participation falls short. Even after reading reviews, registering for this class is a mistake; there's no way to navigate it.
