Prof. Kline does a really good job teaching! She does all she can to help you out. She is very smart and knowledgeable about tons of medical stuff (she was is/doctor). Study hard for her tests;they are all pretty hard. Although the tests are hard you should take from her; you'll learn a lot! Good class, good teacher, would recommend!(Med.Term.)

Good teacher. Though I did not attend class 90% of the time, I still have an A in the class. Its all straight memorization from the textbook. For those who struggled - you weren't trying hard enough. Tests are simple if you've covered the material in each chapter.

I had her for Medical terminology as well as physiology. Liked her a lot on med term, but in physio she's completely useless. She's obviously a very smart woman, but her teaching consists of reading the notes she's typed up to the class, and having you "fill in the blanks." Take physio from Walker or McNeilis!

This teacher makes it hard for some students to excell. She is all over the place when teaching and is not very approachable. If she made a mistake in her teaching and was called out, she would become angry with the students. She only offered a couple extra credit assignmnts that would barely make a dent.

Klne is one of those teachers that wants to show the students how unlearned they are. She also seems to feel that if more than just a few students are doing well in her class,that she needs to make the tests harder. She doesnt teach everything on the tests so you have to read the book. She would get annoyed with students who had questions.

For the love of God, do not take Kline. Its no use trying to get into medical programs with a lower grade because you wanted to learn more. Other professors will have a simpler course that will be easier to succeed in so your gpa doesnt drop.

Professor Kline is very smart and knows her stuff. However, I would not wish her upon my worst enemies. I got an A in her class, but by the skin of my teeth. She adds a lot of unnecessary extra info to memorize & has very high expectations for an introductory course. She does offer extra credit quizzes which helped me a lot, but I can't recommend.

I had Kline for Anatomy. I absolutely loved her. I know these reviews are terrible put she gave us a extra credit quiz every week and gave us the exact material we needed to know of our exams. However, you do have to work for your grade in that class. she goes into more detail than other profs, bit she is more of a pre-med teacher but i loved her

I found Dr. Kline to be caring for your grade as long as she sees you care. Extra credit pop quizzes us once a week and they help if you study! Attend her SIs as they help in learning how she asks test Qs and how to study. Be prepared to put in hours of studying for this class especially if you want an A (also gives extra info other profs. don't

It's an anatomy class, it's going to be a lot of work and memorization. Her approach is different from many professors. She will have you learn extra things that aren't in the material, and in a different, "3D GPS" way. Her being extra in this way is beneficial to your learning, but it can and will be overwhelming at times.

Lots of homework

Dr. Kline is a hard teacher because she wants her students to understand the material and how it works together; regurgitating info doesn't cut it. Kline will bend over backwards to help her students learn physiology (and holds extra study sessions to do so) I do think physiology is an inherently hard subject and trick test questions stink, tho.

Dr. Kline puts in 100% effort every class period when teaching and will leave your brain feeling like it is going to explode at the end of class. Awesome and funny teacher!

Every student that took her said it was an extremely hard class. However all of us were miles ahead of the other students that had other professors. When it came time for the lab tests all of us were getting high A's while the other students were sitting at B's and C's. Her philosophy is; peoples lives are in your hands, know your stuff.

This was the hardest college course I have ever taken. The only reason I got an A in this class is because I spent HOURS upon HOURS everyday studying and reading for this class. She doesn't care to help you out when you're struggling. She's an extremely tough teacher, and I don't recommend taking her class at all - she makes it unnecessarily hard.

Dr. Kline is very educated, a very smart lady. But when it comes to teaching, you either know it or you dont. She makes you feel stupid for asking questions. Graded strictly on your test scores, no assignments throughout the course. If you get behind, theres no help in catching up.

Kline bombards you with information leaving no time in class to dive into the material. However after speaking to her one day she told me "I want this class to be hard. My students are going into the medical field and will eventually have patients lives in their hands. If they cant bunker down and study to pass this class, they'll kill someone".

Dr. Kline is the smartest human being I have ever met. But, her class is insanely hard. I'd say we cover double the content of the other physiology classes, but we're LIGHTYEARS ahead of everyone else. Her name is the golden ticket into the medical programs. She gives TONS of extra credit and provides out of class review sessions. TAKE HER CLASS.

If you want to truly know what you're talking about, she is the perfect professor for you. If you don't want to do what it takes to know the information front and back, don't take her. She is straightforward, has clear expectations and wants you to be the top of your class. She will give you tips for how to succeed in her class. Highly recommend.

I think she is a really good professor, her tests are just really hard. She really knows her stuff, she is a doctor after all. I liked that she did the notes alongside of us. She did good at teaching, she just taught real fast and a lot of info. Her tests are tricky because she wants you to be able to us your head once you get to the hospital.

I tutored & it seemed none of Kline's students ever needed tutoring. So here's the trend, TAKE Dr. Kline if you want to BEST be prepared to excel higher up in the medical field-.-DON'T TAKE her just for a grade. If you do take her class, though, and pass with a good grade, I feel you are capable of passing any class taught at the college.

Despite having hard tests, ALL the quizzes are extra credit & you get one between every exam. It almost seems like she makes you EARN the A. What a concept. I know some students that passed with OVER 100%. So it goes to show, even if you're not doing so hot on the exams, you can still finish with a decent grade if you study & get good quiz scores.

Kline wants to weed out those who will be good nurses/doctors and those who want to cheat through school. She is an amazing teacher who genuinely cares about our educations. I read these horrible reviews and was terrified. These are lazy people writing them. She gives over 70 points of extra credit through the semester. It is hard to not get a A/B.

I enrolled in Kline's course in 2020, yet her impact haunts me. My nursing friends who took it with me share the sentiment of being haunted by her daunting lectures and tough exams. She was not approachable, and studying intensely barely led to passing (I studied for weeks). Opt for a different professor if possible in order to pass!!!

If you're a little snowflake, don't take Kline. If you want to be the best, take Kline. She teaches you "extra" stuff that isn't really extra as you end up using it for other tests or will need it for future courses, specifically physiology. Personally one of my favorite professors with tons of extra credit opportunities.

She warned us from the first day of class that people will fail her class, she doesn't find pleasure in watching her student succeed. Her tests are incredibly deceiving and unless you make this class your entire world you will fail. I dropped the class after getting an F on the first exam. I switched to another professor and passed with an A+.

extremely difficult and enjoyed watching students fail. she would repeatedly go on long tangents or stories and then say you wouldn't need to know any of that information for this class, but for med school later. Not everyone is going to med school or any other healthcare field. I'm just getting a general biology degree. really infuriating. beware.

I am an A student and got a D! I worked HARD. She YELLED at our class for failing a test that she created to trick us. She told us to not even try asking for help because she refused to help students that "weren't paying attention" and "weren't trying hard enough". If you want to get into a program; taking a class from her could ruin your chances.

U will not do well in this class if u have a demanding job or little time. Her attitude towards students is the issue. Not the material, she actually teaches well. However, she is insanely negative. She will say she believes in us, then say we retain nothing. She needs to ditch any negative statements completely. It's discouraging.

I learned so much from her class but the amount of information given for a 3 credit class was kind of insane. She pushes us very hard which can be good, but she also talked pretty negative to the whole class even though she has plenty of A students. Memorize the slides and you will be fine, just takes a lot of time.
