Microbiology...your typical blonde. She gave a quiz the first day of class, yet didn't have the course syllabus online yet...hmmmm....overall, very approachable though. Doesn't yell at you for asking a question like some teachers might.

Heather is a great teacher. At first her class was very difficult but later on it got a lot better. She is very helpful if you have questions, so just ask. Her tests aren't too bad, multiple choice with extra credit at the end. Oh and she has pop quizzes which are hard only if you haven't done the reading.

anatomy is a hard subject. Out of all of the anatomy teachers Heather is the Best! She is always available to help students and teaches well. i would defiantly recommend her.

Marrs is a great professor. She expects you to read BEFORE you get to class. The quiz questions are usually from the back of the chapter or much like it. She is fair and helpful but needs time to make a choice about dropping a question and not when asked on the spot. Emailing is best because it gives her time to think and respond appropriately.

Very hard, fast paced class. She definitely has her favorites, and almost seems annoyed by some questions, but she is still helpful. She teaches directly from the book. Read your chapters, take notes of anything she mentions not in the text, as it is all game for tests. Pay attention and be prepared to devote a lot of time to study!

I had Heather for both Anatomy and Physiology, I definitely don't agree with some of the comments left. If you figure out her teaching style, you will do fine. It's not an easy class to begin with but her class is passable. I enjoyed her class a lot. Reading the book is something you have to do to pass the class.

I'm currently taking her for anatomy, and I love her! I wish she was teaching Physiology next quarter. No matter who you take for anatomy, be prepared to study hard. Lots of memorization. I recommend not taking more than one other class simultaneously. I'm taking 16 credits, and am overwhelmed.

I'm honestly shocked by some people's comments. I haven't seen Heather pick any 'favorites' or get frustrated with questions. In fact, she's encouraged us to ask questions. She's a very fair teacher. Yes, the course is somewhat hard but what did you expect, it's a fast paced science class. Her tests are fair and I would recommend her as a teacher.

Her liking you has absolutely nothing to do with your success in the class; that's ridiculous. If you do the reading and take the time to really understand it you will do great in her class. Lectures and tests are straight out of the book. She's super nice and very easy to talk to. Definitely my favorite prof at evcc. (she's easily the hottest too)

I has her for my anatomy class.. She was great teacher. This class was very hard but i could always go talk to her about struggles that i had and she was very helpful.. she was very nice and always helped out if i didn't understand material. She gave clues as what she was looking for on tests. If you study hard in her class you can easily have A

Marrs was an EXCELLENT teacher. She never played favorites, but if you truly want to learn, she was ready to teach you. With her, it's a meet you half way relationship, which I liked because she really pushed you to do well and I respect that about her teaching style. It was NOT easy, but she gave you every resource to succeed!

Heather Marrs is a great instructor given that Anatomy is a really fast paced class -remember...it's 6 credits. It's not really that hard to understand- there's just a lot of information to remember. My advise would be...leave your science couses for last and employ self-study...and aim high!

Completely competent, seems to enjoy teaching, very clear, always prepared, easy to work with, very approachable. Not a push over though! Very good instructor. I would take any class she taught. Great prof.

Best instructor at EVCC! She's smart, nice, funny, gorgeous and easy to talk to. The class was hard, especially during the summer, but it's supposed to be. Quite a bit of work, but she's a very easy grader. All tests and quizzes are all multiple choice. Expect to read the book, and knowing the slides is definitely a plus. 2 hrs/day u will do great.

I absolutely adore her. I failed the first time I took anatomy but it was completely my own fault. The second time I took her again. She is hard and expect her students to be responsible but is an amazing teacher and extremely helpful and knowledgeable.

I absolutely adore Heather. She is SO well-versed in her field and always willing to help without being condescending. The class is tough, but you'll learn a lot. The only drawback is that 900 points out of 1180 are exams and practicals, so if you don't do well on exams, you won't do well in the class. I highly recommend Heather!

Heather is amazing! She makes this class as easy as it could possibly be. She is organized, concise and knows how to teach in a manner that is engaging and fun. My tips would be: Print the power points! Listen and take notes. If she mentions it in lecture...it'll be on the exam. Every single point counts, so show up and work hard! Good luck!

Amazing teacher for a very hard subject. she is as straight forward as possible and gives us study guides with everything we need to know for practices. However lecture exams are hard because they cover so much material and doesn't necessarily correspond with what she talked about in lecture. MUST READ BOOK and make anatomy your life to do good

Yes this is a hard course, and it will be with any teacher you take it with. Compared to all the other teachers, Heather is the most clear, and actually has the least amount of work. She was an amazing teacher, I'd recommend for any of the classes she teaches.

This is my favorite teacher even though the class was some tough stuff. She really adores teaching anatomy and any science class. She is really smart and answers almost 99.9% of questions that students ask her (pretty much anything to do with the human body, she knows.) She really wants you to pass and is ready to help. Take this class with her!!

Really like the way she teaches!! Wish she taught MICRO, I would have definitely done better :) I would highly recommend

Heather is an amazing instructor! She cares about your future in education and career that you are striving toward. Easy to understand, lectures are always fun to sit in even if they are 2 hours long, very clear with her teaching. Exams are tough. Main keys to this class: attendance, read ahead, ask questions, extra lab hours, and study ahead.

Heather is a really AWESOME Bio 211 professor! This was my second time taking the class and I'm passing with at least a A- compared to my C-. She is very helpful when you ask, and her tests are definitely a lot easier than other professors. I really recommend her for Bio 211. I have heard that she is very difficult in Human AnatomyPhysiology.

Heather is bae. Read the syllabus @ beginning of class and follow the schedule. She is clear in what you need to know and yes it'll take a bit to grasp the concept but it's doable. In any case, she's always there for you. And she's contagiously passionate about Anatomy.

Two exams, 1 final exam. Awesome professor. Lectures are fun and interactive. Participate. She is very clear and up beat. Always able to help. I recommend her highly. It is not an 'easy' class, you have to work. But Heather Marrs makes this class fun and interesting.

Great instructor. Loves to teach and has a problem solving class you can sign up for after regular lectures. Very interactive class which helps you to remember things easier. Her exams are tough, but if you show up and do the work you will pass with a good grade. She even helps students study for the Nursing PAX exam. Highly recommend!

Heather was an awesome professor. Her lectures, clarity, and helpfulness were outstanding. She is extremely dedicated towards her subject matter and students. This class was a wonderful experience.

Outstanding instructor. Extremely thorough and professional.

Heather is a great professor! It's a tough course no matter who the professor is, but I think Heather is one of the best. She is always there to answer questions and she actually really cares about your grade. She helped me cope with my major test anxiety. Exams are straight from the book and practicles (in lab) are from unit list given to you.

This class was very challenging, but now that I am in physiology I am very grateful for the rigor. As a pre-nursing student I feel that I should be trying to get the most information out out of my education not just a good grade. I feel that I was able to get both, but I just barely scrapped by with an A and I worked very hard.

One of my favorite professors yet! The material is hard but she does her best to help you understand it. She uses many different teaching styles and is always there for you if you need help. You have to put a lot of time into anatomy and the memorization but she tries her best to make it as easy as possible. She is very organized.

Heather is a good teacher. She is very approachable and makes lecture time as interesting as possible. She knows her biology well; however she is not great at math and I would advise everyone who takes her class to check the grades received on exams. There were grading mistakes made on every exam we got back.

Heather is a really sweet teacher she really cares about you passing! she answers all your questions you have and if you show your struggling she helps you! Go to her offer hours ! Is a tough class. DO NOT SKIP! she offers 3 practical's. 3 dissections on cats! and 3 exams. GO TO LAB! SATURDAYS AND FRIDAYS REALLY HELPS YOU PASS YOUR PRACTICALS!

Amazing teacher! If I could i would take all my bio classes with Heather! She definetely cares about her students and their grades, and making sure they succeed. Lectures are very easy to understand, and exam questions are never of surprise! Love love love her! Great teacher, great style of teaching, and definetely makes these classes easier for us

Goes out of her way to make sure that you understand. Will work with you on grading. Her lectures are very easy to follow. Gives a helpful study guide fro BIG QUIZ!

Pros: Great analogies - allows a good connection to remember things from lecture to real life. She gives you tons of extra credit work which is AMAZING for how difficult this class is. (She KNOWS its tough that's why she gives you tons of help). Gives study guides and very fair grader. Only con: A little disorganized. Puts things up last minute.

Heather was and is phenomenal. She cares so deeply about all of her students, and really wants you to understand biology. Taking her for a summer course, it was fast paced and a bit stressful, but never once did I feel like she forced us to go and teach ourselves. She offers a ton of extra credit, and will do whatever it takes to help you pass!

Love Heather!! She is a hard prof but its because the material is tough. She really wants everyone to do well and will help you however she can! Took her for cell and anatomy and I wish i took her for more. I learned so much!

Heather is an amazing professor! I took her Microbiology course and she is hands down one of the most intelligent and natural instructors I've ever had. She really makes the material easy to understand and enjoyable. I would highly recommend taking classes from her if you have the opportunity!

Heather is good-natured, knowledgeable, and all around a good teacher. Her lectures were engaging, labs were interesting, and tests were very reasonable. She was also quite generous with her grades.

Heather's teaching style and character makes her the best professor. I took her biology 211 course and honestly wished I took human anatomy with her aswell. She makes class fun and engaging. Tips: Put in the work, practice for exams, attend class and you'll do great in her class.

I took Heather's Bio211 class and she was amazing! She was very thorough in her lectures and was happy to answer questions. She offered alot of EC which helped my grade. Attendance is not mandatory, but reading the text without lecture is difficult, so go to every class. Heather rounded my 89.9% grade to a 90% at the end, so bonus points to her :)

Heather Marrs was an amazing Cell Biology professor. She covered any relevant material with great detail and analogies; her instructions for labs were clear and she was happy to answer any questions. I took her over the Summer Quarter, and our final exam was a take-home final, so this class was an easy A. There was one lab report for the quarter.

What a great professor! She has a great personality and kept each lecture so interesting. Her tests are pretty hard though so be prepared to study A LOT. She doesn't assign much homework either. She is also open to questions and answers them thoroughly. She is very friendly and helpful.

I've now taken professor Marrs for anatomy and cell bio and she has been amazing in both. She breaks down tough concepts in creative ways that I've never seen before.

She is great. Someone said she breaks down content in a way that is easy to understand, this is TRUE. The structure and layout of the class are clear and understanding. She's very compassionate and very helpful. I HIGHLY recommend her.

Dr. Marrs has by far been the best professor that I have had before. I took majors cellular, anatomy, and physiology with her and I have never felt so genuinely cared for by a professor. She was amazing at making accommodations due to COVID-19, and is very good at explaining tough subjects in simple ways. I cannot suggest her enough!!!!

Prof. Marrs was such a kind and caring teacher. This course was pretty difficult as a running start student, but she did a great job giving enough materials to learn what was necessary through online learning. She is very helpful, so never be afraid to reach out to her because she will do a great job helping you with what you need!

Marrs is a great professor. Her Monday zoom lectures were super helpful in understanding the textbook material for the week. Tests werent too challenging. The only thing is that we had to do labs at home by ourselves. But overall a great class and she was willing to help you if you get confused :)

I highly recommend Marrs for biology courses. You can tell she cares about her students learning and making progress. Weekly to do list are posted on Mondays and everything is due on Sundays so you can always adjust your schedule. I took her online cellular biology and am now taking hybrid anatomy and I will definitely take the rest BIOs with her.

I would take all my bios with dr. Marrs! She's definitely a gem!

Heather is such a caring soul and was meant to teach. By far the best professor I have had. Taking her again for anatomy and will be taking her for physiology. I can't recommend her enough.

Always willing to help. Overall my favorite professor so far, she is very personable.

Marrs is an amazing professor. Lectures were heavy, lots of notes, but I learned a ton about biology because of how in-depth she teaches. 3 exams throughout, homework due each week and textbook chapters. Stay on top of everything and try your best to keep up. Attendance wasn’t required but it’s extremely important or else you WILL fall behind.

*in person*. She spends the time giving a lecture so if you miss class you will miss Very important information that will be on test. She gives extra credit before exams. There is a lab and homework to do every week. Take advantage of the study material she gives you. IF YOU DO NOT STUDY, YOU WILL NOT PASS.

I love Professor Marrs! I took all my bios with her, except for microbiology. She cares for her students, she's really good!

Heather is super nice and very enthusiastic about the subject which makes it easier to learn!

This was my first in-person class since Covid so I was a little scared but Heather was great! She is very lenient and understanding if you email her or let her know in advance that you won't be in class or you're turning in an assignment late. Overall, she's a really great professor and makes class fun.

Prof. Marrs broke down anatomy in a way all students can understand. She cares about students succeeding and understanding the material versus cramming every insufficient detail about the human body. She was very graceful with grading, and her study guides helped!! Be prepared to spend 3-4 hrs studying with 2-3 chapters of notes and reading each wk

Super fun teacher that made class enjoyable

Professor Marrs is an awesome professor,Anatomy is not easy! and she tried her best to get us to understand the material. As long as you give it your all and do the work and participate you will get a very great grade. Marrs is very understanding as well you can talk to her about anything. I felt like she set us up to actually learn the material

I took Anatomy and Physiology with Heather. Both subjects are pretty challenging, but Heather's lectures are so helpful! Heather is truly an amazing teacher. Be ready to work hard and study a lot, otherwise you would not pass the class.

Dr. Marrs was an excellent professor, she was sure to answer everyones questions during class. There are 3 practicals and 3 lecture exams, these are the hardest in her class. If you study you will do well! Everything is due Sundays which allows for flexibility. She wants everyone to do well and cares about her students.

This is my first review ever and I came here just to say she is probably one of the best professor I have ever had. For classes like anatomy and physiology you definitely need a professor like her.

Heather was amazing. It was always very clear to me what to except in the class when it came to grading, and what would be on the quizzes. Each quiz was open note and she didn't make us waste time on memorizing pointless information. Very smart and she has real life clinical experience so she was making sure to teach the most valuable information

Professor Marrs is by far the best professor I have had. My lab group and I took her for majors, anatomy, and physiology, and wish we could for micro! Her style of teaching is one that really made me enjoy learning. And she wants you to succeed. Definitely recommend taking her, she made biology enjoyable and as easy as she could

Lectures are great and Heather is really nice and caring. Bio 211 is pretty basic so do your work and you'll be fine! Study the material thoroughly to do well on the exams a lot can be covered on them.

Lectures are informative and easy to listen to. The hw/lab assignments are time consuming but easy to get full pts. The lab exams are VERY easy if you put in effort. The lecture exams, however, cover LOTS of information + its a bit hard to study for, even when given a study guide. She has extra credit to make it up and wants you to succeed, though!

Has a point system so you can tell when you need to start working on your grade. THE HOMEWORK WILL SAVE U. do your HW. It is easy to lose points & gain points. 2 quizzes every week, pre-lab quiz (Based on the lab) & exit quiz (Based off the chapter) Good workload, Lab, HW & sometimes class assigments, 3 exams. Very nice lady.

Amazing professor. I took Heather for major cellular, anatomy, and physiology. She cares about her students and makes learning very fun!

She has interesting lectures and explains stuff really well. My tip is if you get the textbook, only skim for pictures. She has a weekly quiz based off lecture, notes allowed. Her study guide isnt super good, I'd rec. going into more detail bc exam ?s are detailed. Do good on the pearson HW!! Labs are pretty easy and we usually left earlier

I took Heather for anatomy and physiology and loved her both times. She is quick with email responses, has clear instructions on assignments, has the quarter planned out in the syllabus, and is overall one my of top instructors at EVCC. Her assignments are manageable, however her tests she gives can be difficult. Highly recommend her!

Dr. Marrs is an amazing lecturer! Engaging, explains confusing topics very well, easy to listen to! Did hybrid class with combo lecture-labs once a week. Take-home exams, open-note exit quizzes once a week. Prof is super kind and understanding, will give grace if you ask politely. Would 10000% take again, wish she did microbio.

I loved Dr. Marrs! She is a fun professor and really loves anatomy and teaching it. She does exit quizzes weekly but you can use 1 page of notes and the coloring pages/lab reviews. the big exams are all take home and open book/notes. you have a few days to get them done! She is all around amazing and I am taking her again for physiology!

I took Heather for both Anatomy and Physiology and she was amazing. I got an A in both classes and it was because of her lectures and teaching style. She is hilarious and really cares about her students. Be prepared to read and study hard!

Best Professor I had for a science class! I took Marrs for anatomy and physiology, and I loved her! Very helpful, encouraging, understanding, and you can see she wants the best for her students. Applies material to real life, gives tips, lectures and labs fun, and gives extra credit. Weekly quizzes are a little hard if you don't go through material

Heather is really nice to her students and offers so much extra credit. She has weekly quizzes that aren't easy and her tests are long and pretty difficult. The material she tests on is heavily based on the textbook. Her lectures are good but sometimes she goes too fast and it's easy to miss things since she doesn't post her lectures.

Amazing professor! I would highly recommend her. Delightful experience learning Biology along Doctor Marrs. Video support provided, great platform, lots of nice analogies and understandable.

I took her for anatomy and physiology. Best prof I've taken at EvCC. She's very knowledgeable in a&p. She cares about her students and their education. Uses a coloring book as homework in anatomy but extra credit in physiology. Labs were fun. Exams aren't to hard, notes/coloring on quizzes. I recommend her in person class, her lectures are great!

Awesome instructor, would definitely take another class with her if it comes up. Anatomy and Physiology is a ridiculously intensive course no matter who teaches it, so it was hard. Her understanding of the material was excellent and lectures were informative and helpful. Definitely a challenging course, I was able to earn an A+ with a lot of work.

Prof Marrs is wonderful! Trying to learn a full year of anatomy in 10 weeks is insane and she made it as doable as possible. Some quizzes in lab, otherwise everything is on Pearson. Pearson is a pain, but if there is a problem, she will work it out. Last couple weeks of the term is a lot of work.

Anatomy is not an easy class, but Dr. Marrs teaches in a way that helps you follow along. As long as you study, review the materials, and stay consistent, you will understand the content and get a lot out of the course. Pop quizzes can be intimidating, but they can help boost your grades. STUDY! STUDY! She's fantastic and helpful to her students.
