For the record she is cool as a person but as a teacher she really sucked. Cut class short, didn't finish the class time frame, no homework or prep quizzes as the syllabus stated.

Professor Davis was amazing. I was very scared to take this class, but she made it very simple and broke everything down very clearly. She makes you want to come to class. However, you really have to study, don't take this class lightly, because she doesn't. She's very intellectual, knowledgeable, caring and passionate . Take her if you can!

She's amazing! I took her A&P2 lab course, and she makes you work pretty hard. It's super worth it though. I learned so much from her class. She'll help you out as much as she can. She's a wonderful professor if you're looking to learn. If you want an easy class with a professor who will hold your hand, then don't take her, but you can learn a lot.

I love this teacher. She lets you record your lecture and allows her students come to her other classes if they need to hear the lecture again. She will answer any question in great detail. I went to her lab class once and I'm not sure I would like to take her for lab. She is extremely helpful in preparing to take nursing exams.
