When grading tests if the majority of the class misses a ques, she will give credit for it. If you are a Nursing major and need to REMEMBER what you've learned, this is the teacher for you!

She's a GREAT teacher but she's HARD. Explains things really well but her tests are hard and comprehensive. You have to put a lot of time into this class. Attend every lecture class and you won't even need the book. Her powerpoints are informative and she gives even more info during lecture. Drops lowest test grade. 4 tests, final, drawings,1 paper

She is such an amazing professor. I had her for both BIO I and II for lecture and lab. She is passionate of what she teaches and is VERY clear in her lectures. If you do not understand anything, you can ask during lecture or office hours. She wants every student to succeed and is a genuinely caring professor/person. & those are very hard to find.

Dr.Lavinson is an excellent professor who can provide you with a fully understanding about the human anatomy and physiology. With all her lectures in both AP1&2, Students will get equivalent knowledge in biology,specifically in Human body, to move in a next step for either taking MCAT,PCAT,DAT,or Nursing's exam. Take notes, do your works, get As.

She is a very nice person overall but anatomy is no joke. You really have to study to make a decent grade in her class and tests are usually very tricky. An A in this class is really hard to get!! Really have to study and bypass her tricky tests question.

Took her for lab and it was a very interesting class. However, this class involves lot of studying for a one credit class. Prepare to work really hard and devote lots of time into this class. 2 major tests, drawings, lab report, and mastering A &P. Good luck

I had the pleasure of taking Anatomy 1 & 2 lecture AND lab with Dr. Levinson. She's the best professor for the subject HANDS DOWN. It was the toughest class I've ever taken BUT I am FULLY prepared and know the material. She tests in such a way where you have to apply the material which prepares you for Nursing school. I received A's and I worked for it and am thankful for all she taught me. Take her if you want to learn! Oh and she doesn't try to trick you like other teachers...Serena

She very hard and her lecture class is very time consuming. You really have to know every single thing she lecture and master the concepts yourself. It's not an easy class and test are way to hard. Tricky questions and fill in the blanks. You can't have fun if you want to do well in her class.

She was more lenient on grading last semester. This semester she is more tougher on how she teaches and materials is way to much. If you are not doing well in her class, she grades more harsh on you. Would not recommend if biology is not your strongest subject

She makes her test to difficult. Expect you to learn everything and memorize all. Overload studying compare to other classes. If you have lot of time, then it's easy to devote to her class. However, if you have other classes to take, would not recommend. There are better teacher. Plus she throws way to much information at you and make class boring.

Dr. Levinson is a good professors. She provides you with a lot of information related not only in your tests but also for your future courses of human such as pathology. After taking Human 1 and 2, most students will get better preparation knowledge for their next advanced courses in biology, which are related in medical study program.

Took for both AP lecture and lab. Super helpful in lab. Four tests in lecture and drops the lowest grade. Online homework and one research paper. Tests are combo of multiple choice and short answer. Tests are tough, but then again, anatomy is a tough subject. Take her, she's good.

Professor Levison really knows how to teach. Her lectures are really detailed, therefore, she makes everything make sense (it also helps with lab). Her test questions come directly from her lecture, so she doesn't try to trick anyone. Highly recommended!

I took Dr. Levinson for A&P Lab. Loved the way she taught! She is so nice and tries her best to help her students during labs. She gives mini reviews from lecture before starting labs which was awesome! Only down fall is that she doesn't give a study guide for tests, but she does have a review day. TAKE HER!

Took her for A&P 1&2. Best teacher ever! She is a tough grader and her exams are hard, but at the end of her class you mastered A&P! Whoever says that she is not a good teacher could just not handle A&P or did not want to work hard enough. If you want to learn you won't regret taking her.

She really knows her stuff, and teaches it well. I haven't enjoyed a class as much as I enjoyed her, and learned a lot about Anatomy & Phys. If you go to class and take good notes, and look over those notes, you may not have to spend a lot of extra time studying to do well. Lab is where I devoted more study time, due to all the memorization.

Good Professor in general. Attend class you will need it! Learn your bones and muscles! All the models learn those! They are the bread and butter of this course. She explains very well and gives good lectures. 2 test, online quizzes, 1-2 lab reports.

I am in nursing major. I took both AP with her. She is easy if you listen to what she said. There is no need for book. Everything on herbtest based on thenlecture in the class. If you think that she is the worst or very difficult and you are in the nursing or science major. I think you should switch your major because this is easy.

She is really amazing. I had her for A and P 1 lab and decided to take her again for A and P 2 lab and lecture. She is super nice, and she answers everyone's questions. Her tests are not to bad as long as you study and she always has a review session before.

Had her for A&P 1 Lab and will be taking her for A&P 2. She's completely upfront about what material you need to know and wants you to succeed. Yes, you need to study your tail off in this class, but honestly, don't you want your health care professionals to really know their stuff? If you want to really learn, take her!

Dr. Levison is a good professor. I took her for Lab and there 2 tests only and 1 lab report. If you fail the first test, maybe you do not pass, study a lot because she asks for everything there 50 questions for each test. I think her test was easy if you story I did not pass, but if you do study group and study everything she says you pass we an A
