These comments are not true. She is more interested in confusing students rather than teaching the material. She has to always be right, on tests, in class discussions, in lab, etc. It is one thing not to give an easy A; but she doesn't encourage students to want to get an A.

Professor Reynolds is both an intelligent and a wonderful professor to take Microbiology with. Couple of things: study, study, and study! Her style of teaching is more at a graduate level so definitely pay attention and take good notes. Participate, read outside of class, review your notes daily, and ask questions. Wonderful professor! Got my A!

I earned my grade and I had to study and study. I am also a full time student with 14 credit hours and have a child. Everything is possible. I will read outside and study in groups. Take time to read and understand. She also give case studies which will let me think in a real life scenario.

She is a very detailed professor in her lectures, but she does make you do some studying on your own, but it works in your benefit. She will be straight up with you about what it is you need to do ! She is really good with answering questions. She is kind of quick with her lectures, but thorough so if you're a slow listener I wouldn't suggest.

The material in class is tough to understand & you will have to put in the HOURS to study. Reyolds provides class with an abundance of resources for success. Lots of group work for summer courses, be ready to apply knowledge for case studies. She makes videos of going over the class material. The textbook is very helpful. There is online hmwk

Hands down best prof! Provides outside sources so you understand what will be discussed that day or for review. There are group case studies/lab work, both of which count as points toward practical & exams grade. Exams/practicals are straight forward she will not trick you. There is online homework. Very organized and approachable.

GREAT TEACHER. She asks what career paths are represented by her students. She knows what knowledge is needed in the health care professions and if that is your path she prepares you. If she comes off as harsh, it is because she wants you to learn and is passionate about the class. Who wouldn't want a teacher who actually enjoys teaching?!

Truly an amazing professor. I really enjoyed being a student in her class. She knows what she's talking about and has healthy expectations for those coming into a micro course. Going to lectures was key to my passing- but she does not grade attendance. I appreciate her sense of humor as well. It's always nice having a professor who is approachable.

Prof. Reynolds is great but she makes the class harder than it seems & it's really fast paced. I think it's a difficult class because she wants to give you an idea of how nursing/medical school is. If you're a full time student, I wouldn't consider her. You have to study so much to the point you wont even have time to study for your other classes.

Professor Reynold is amazing . I will miss her so much . If you are looking for an easy A this is not it . She will make you work hard . If youre looking to go into nursing shes perfect because her style and toughness will prepare you . Attendance is not mandatory. She will give resources to help you. She is straight forward and so funny .

She is nice, but if you are a note taker this is not your professor. She talks randomly throughout the lecture, and you have to read the book and find answers to her study objectives. Doesnt really explain everything that nice, will talk about random stuff in class and show videos to explain. Thats not what I signed up for.

She is SO RUDE! Everyone is scared to answer her questions in class discussion because they're scared to get yelled at. She makes the class harder than it needs to be. I wouldn't recommend taking her. She won't help you out if you're struggling.

This class was not as bad as others make it to be. It is loaded with content, especially since it was a summer session. Mrs. Reynolds is a bit tough (it builds character)but she definitely prepares you for nursing & medical school with the questions that she asks. Be prepared to study a lot for this class if you want to get an A.

She is so rude! Not sure what the hype is about her. She gets mad when you dont know the answer to a question and instead of helping and answering the answer for the whole class she just lives on and leaves us all wondering. Her exams are tricky the only positive thing about her is she gives extra credit

Professor is rude during lecture, encourages failure in students, and is passive aggressive when students attempt to ask for clarification. She does a poor job of actually teaching and relies instead on confusing PowerPoints, is very unorganized, and piles on the homework. Don't take this course unless you're looking for the hardest F- of your life

Im surprised she has so many bad reviews - she was the best professor I ever had. This class is hard, it is not an easy A, but she prepares you for the health care field. If you are serious about learning take her - you will absolutely be prepared for all other courses that branch off A&P.
