Do not take her if this is your 1st Biol class. She is so fast that even with a tape recorder I had a hard time getting all of the info. She is hard for most people, except those who have already take the class.
I took her for human anatomy I and I think she was very helpful and had a great teaching style. I always recommend her to anyone that needs to take human anatomy.
I like her as a person, but I would not recomend her as a teacher. She goes very fast and feels like she has to cover everything. No time for test reviews, and hard tests. If u already know some Biol u may do fine in her class.
I absolutely love Dr. Levinson. She is a very fast speaker, but it is only because she is a ball full of energy. She is the most helpful instructor that I have had at GPC. I am normally not an A student in science, but I am getting high ones in this class
Biology is not easy, so don't take it if you don't want to study. Levinson is very clear, and I think is a great instructor. Study notes for the tests--not the text book. Only lecture material is on tests.
Dr.Levinson is a great instructor who has a gift for teaching.She goes over the material in a very through manner but she talks fast so tape record the classes. Her tests came strictly from her lecture notes. Don't need a strong science background to pass
How can anyone say this teacher is easy. She is hard! Her tests are hard! She expects way too much!
I don't know why some people said she's hard. I think she's a great teacher that willing to help you until you understand the material. The tests are easy because from the lecture notes, not from the book. The lab is great,she likes to help each student.
She's the best college professor that I've ever had. I highly recommend her as your A&P teacher. Actually, she should get a teaching award because she's really good.
Dr. Levinson is a great professor. She is fast, and covers a lot of material. She is well structured with her presentation. Just make sure you study and keep up. Be sure to ask her questions, she is fast, but she will stop and explain. If you do the work, you will do well.
The best teacher I've ever had. You must tape the lectures and listen to them again until you understand the material, but once you've got it down, you're set for the test and even better, you're set for advanced courses later on.
Great Teaching Ability..Overall a great instructor.
Great teacher. Will help you if YOU ask for it. Just make sure to use your time wisely in the lab cause it will help you on the tests. The tests aren't hard as long as you study!!!
I am taking her again for 1612, she is wonderful !! I am a tough critic, but I cant complain.
Fantastic Teacher! Very tough, though & talks fast. Exams are word-for-word from the lecture: Multiple choice, fill-in, w/1 or 2 essay qestions & 1bonus. 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!
EXCELLENT teacher. Really, truly cares for the students. Being at perimeter, i haven't really had any good teachers...but Dr. Levinson is one of the best teachers i have EVER had. She makes anatomy easy to understand and is always willing to help you out. She is a wonderful person as well as a great professor. Tests are not bad as long as you study
She is Very detailed. She wants her students to understand the material. Do not expect to coast in her class. You have to work for your grade. She is very much needed for nursing/dental hygiene students, even though she may be alittle tougher than others.
Dr. Levinson is great! She really knows what she is talking about and will explain things over and over if you ask her to. Her labs are really easy if you just follow directions and study. Coming in for open labs to review will ensure you get an A!
Is the nicest lady ever, but her test questions are very hard. Multiple choice is VERY VERY tricky.
Very enthusiastic about Biology; Does not curve and tests are not easy. If you mess up on one test you're basically screwed--there were only three tests, one small paper, and a cumulative final. All I can say is make sure you study every night or you're up the creek without a paddle.
Very nice lady hard class. She gives four test and she drops the lowest test grade. She oly gives may multipule choice questions and maybe five short answer questions on the test.Can't get too many wrong or you are screwed.If you can take someone else. She is a doctor and makes test hard. I took the lab wtih someone else and got a A.
Excellent teacher. Dr. Levison is very approachable and will work with you personally if you ask her too. This class is not hard if you take proficent notes and study. You will NOT coast in this class.
Dr Levinson is a great teacher. You must take the time to learn what she is teaching, but she explains all very well. One of the best I have had all semester.
Dr. Levinson is a great professor. She has an energetic personality and keeps you interested. She is very engaging and helpful. Take good notes in her class and you won't even need the text book. Her tests are straight from her notes so its best not to miss class.
Dr. Levinson is a great teacher! Her tests are from her notes and she is great at explaining everything in detail so that you can understand it. Highly recommend! Taking her again for 1612.
Prof. Levinson is "A+" in her method of teaching. She is extremely helpful and explains in students level.
She is a great professor and a very good person. Biology is a hard subject, but she tries to make it as easy as possible. She talks fast b/c there is a lot of material to cover but not too fast for somebody not to be able to understand her. She is very fair. She is one of the best teachers i had.
I am taking A&P now and she is great! Gives good notes and allow recording of the lectures. Outstanding clarity and excellent analogies to bring closer the complex subject closer to your understanding.You must study, rehers,and understand the material. Dont try to memorize just LEARN the material it will aid you more in your life.Highly recommend!!
sHE IS A GREAT TEACHER.vERY VERY HELPFUL.
I read prior students rating about this teacher and the only thing I can think of is that she has changed her teaching style. Maybe she has read what other students have said about her and decided to switch things up. What she wants you to know is very unclear. It is a lot of information and the test are impossible.
She is remarkable! Ofcourse A&P is not an easy subject but you will Learn the structures and there respected physiology with no issue! Much excersie, eating right, rest and study is required 4 "A".You "LEARN" the material here you dont commit to memory. You will know A&P like you know your name. Great job Dr. Livinson!! Keep the light lite @ GPC!!!
I am taking her now and she is not all that great. Her test her hard and she gives no review. You go over at least 4 chapters before a test with at least 150 powerpoint and if you ask for a review she will tell you the chapters that was reviewed after the last test. I recommend you take someone else. DO NOT TAKE HER.
Earned an A in the class. It was no EASY task! However, Dr. Livinson is an excellent teacher and is very focus on you understanding the material. You have to study you @$$ off! The only thing that I found frusterating is when there is like 5 min left of class she will start another subject/chapter. Also NEVER ended class even 5-10 min short. Ooch!
She is a very good teacher. You have to study in her class to make an A however, if you put forth the effort you can make and A because I did. Please take she is worth it.
Dr. Levinson is a remarkable teacher. You have to work hard and read the textbook, and I also recommend doing the study guide. But she makes it really clear what info will be prominent on tests. Also, she is very available for extra help. She will meet with you, answer emails, call you, whatever you ask if you have questions. I earned an A.
Great teacher! probably my favorite so far! Keeps the information interesting and is very helpful and extremely nice. I would definately recommend her! You rarely have to look at the book and you get to drop one test grade!
Dr. Levinson is a great teacher! She is very sweat and knowledgeable. Taking her notes is the most important thing that you should do because everything on the test is from notes. However, you still have to read the book.
A&P is a hard subject. Dr. Levinson makes it easy to understand the concepts. Attend class and take good notes. All her test questions come from her notes. Easy to make an A in her class, but you have to earn the A. Best A&P instructor thus far.
Dr. Levinson is one of the few teachers that I met that cares about teaching and making sure the students understand the information. I wish she taught the rest of my biology classes.
she is an absolute necessity, if you want to be in the medical industry
I had zero knowledge about Bio when I started her class. I left her class with more than enough knowlege to go through Nursing school. She has so much passion for teaching,that she makes sure you get it, except you are down right lazy.
Dr. Levinson is the best teacher ever. She explaines th material so clear to make sure that all her students understand every thing. She is great. She really is the best teacher and I know no one teaching AP better than her. TAKE HER..
Dr. Levinson is the best teacher ever. She explaines th material quite clear to make sure that all her students understand every thing. She is great. She really is the best teacher and I know no one teaching AP better than her. TAKE HER..
Dr Levinson teaches the material very clearly, however there is no structure to the class. In other words, you don't know which chapters you'll be covering...So if you are a person who likes to prepare in advance for tests, you won't know what will be on the tests until right before the exam! I like her, but the class moves S L O W
She's great! Very little science in H.S. (way back when) and learned an enormous amount from her. She really knows the subject and she can teach! A&P II is very hard and her foundation is essential.
I had Dr. Levinson for Anatomy I lecture and she was outstanding. Her lectures are clear and her tests are difficult, but fair. I highly recommend her class.
Wonderful teacher. Very clear in lecture, easy to understand. Prepared for class and posted notes before class. Test were straight from notes and in class discussions. Highly recommend taking her for anything you can! Study and listen in class and you will make an A.
Awesome instructor. I had her for both 1611 and 1612 and she is one of GPC's best. Her lectures are clear and concise and her tests are very straightforward. I would definitely recommend this professor.
O.K. Dr. Levison is a good person as a whole. However this class is WAY TOO HARD. I repeat WAY TO HARD. The tests are extremely hard. Multiple choice, fill in the blank and essay question test including the final exam. Good teacher, great person, however if you value your GPA, DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!
I don't know if she's putting these comments up herself or she's paying students to write them. However, she is EXTREMELY overrated. As previously stated she is a good person but her class is NOT, I repeat NOT easy. Test are VERY difficult. Take heed to this warning DON'T take her. Run as fast as you can. She teaches on a graduate level.
I took half semester.It was tough since A&P is hard course.My average for 4 exams were A (which u can drop one exam)but I made C on final exam and end up with B for the class.She does not curve the grade, but yes she is probably the best teacher I ever met.She really does care for her student.
I TOOK HER FOR A&P 2 AND LOVED HER. She is GREAT. She really knows her stuff and all these other post who trash her must have "issues" I made an A in both lecture and lab. I had to study VERY hard and she is not easy but do you want an easy A? or if you want to know A&P, SHE Is Num ONE@GPC
She is a great teacher. She makes everything so clear and will make sure that you understand the material. You have to work for your grade but the help she gives and the way she teaches is great.
She is a great professor. She will make sure you understand A&P thoroughly. It is a hard subject but she prepares you for your future medical career. Just come to class and take good notes. Study the notes and you will make an A in the class. I never even opened my Anatomy book to study because her notes are so thorough. She is a top notch teacher.
Dr.Levinson is great. Do not buy the book! She has awesome slides that she goes over in class and everything on her tests were on the slides. As long as you take notes in class and study her slides, you are set! Highly recommended!
She is fantastic! I could not wish for a better professor. She makes the class easy and very interesting! If you have the opportuinity, take her!!!
She is awesome! She definitely knows her stuff. If you don't understand something just ask and she will explain it to you even if it's the 100th time. if she starts speeding up with her lecture, just give her a hand signal to slow down. mainly uses ppt and writes on board. didn't use much of the textbook. highly recommended =]
OK. A&P is a hard class in it self ~ BUT she makes this cLass intresting she really knows what shes talking about and shes passionate. Of course if ur a slacker and your planning on not studying youll say shes hard but if you bust ur a$$ like i did you will getan A. its not impossible!~ she will see you after class and sit with youto explain anyt
Dr. Levinson is awesome! I definitely reccommend taking her! She's great because she repeats the material you need to know, she will make sure you know it before she moves on, and she'll answer any questions you have. She made anatomy so easy for me so, TAKE HER! You'll love her!
Whatever! If your a suck-up and one of her pet projects you'll get an "A" and she 'll even give you extra bonus points on tests. If your not one of her pet projects, you had better study real hard, because she could care less one way or another---- TRUTH!
Levinson is amazing!! Anatomy is a tough subject for anyone, but she makes it EASY. Don't take this class with anyone else!! It's almost impossible not to get anything lower than a B with her.
She is one of the nicest teacher I had in GPC. Extremely helpful in subject matter and other academic help you seek from her. I took her both for H&P I and II and enjoyed and learned a lot of things in the her class. She is the best, her exams are reasonable. I recommend her 100% for anybody who want to have a good background in H&P.
Awesome and profoundly fair. Grades everone the same and does not make exceptions, follws her own rules. VERY good at explaining complex concepts, always willing to answer questions. Take her if you possibly can. Tests challenging, but directly from class material, no tricks, no surprises and she gives a few points extra point questions on exams
Excellent teacher, Wish I had her for A & P 1. She actually teaches you the class rather than read power points. Very personal, and will go over things to help you understand. Test can be challenging, but if you come to class and take NOTES, you can pass. If you are concerned about taking anatomy, please take her.
she's the best ever..
Although Dr. Levinson is very nice, she is a perfectionist, and gives a HEAVY WORK LOAD. There are a lot of tricky questions on her tests, she may ask questions that seemed menial on her power points. Be prepared to study hard, she is also tough on grading her reports, you need to know EVERYTHING! There is no hint of a study guide for the final.
This class has been a trip, 3 thick note books full of power points, she asks difficult questions, alot of the things that you may consider menial. All you do is study, I get the same input from my classmates. Her class has been highly over-rated. She is nice, and answers your questions, no study guide for final!
Not at all what I expected from the ratiings, she is nice, and answers questions, but come exam time, you are on your own, and "my she do go on" in such detail. She asks some very difficult questions, you feel like you are trying to be tripped! Study all the menial points as well, I get the same input from my classmates,study all for final! Not eas
Had this teacher spring10 for lecture. Glad she lectured in detail that way you learned it. Glad she gave us pwpts. made it easy to understand, some teachers don't give any. Didn't test on anything not covered it class. Nice, but not too nice, she has her favorites and it's obvious. Gives study guide for everything but final. Tests were fair.
Fantastic professor. If you're looking for clarity, fairness, and want to come out with a great understanding of A&P, this is your professor. (Especially for those trying to get into a nursing program!)
I really like her. I'm taking both lecture n lab. Shes very nice n helpful. Her test is fair if you study hard. Highly recommend! :)
Dr Levinson is an amazing teacher. she went above and beyond to help me out in 1612lab. Oh My Goodness too bad I could not get her for lecture and ended up failing the lecture with another professor. English is my 3rd lang and she was so easy to understand.. what can i say I LOVE YOU dr Levinson!!!!!!!!!
very easy teacher! the class is a piece of cake if you attend, take notes, and complete everything thoroughly on the study guide. taking her again for 1612!!
Very nice. But study everything for test. Her test are hard.
AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!!! I can not say enough good things about her! She is one of the best teachers that I have had ever!!! I learned so much in her class!! Her test are straight from the notes and what is covered in class! So if you study that material you will do great! I would recommend her to anyone!!
SHE IS THE BEST TEACHER I HAVE HAD THUS FAR. AS LONG AS YOU TAKE NOTES AND STUDY THE MATERIAL YOU WILL DO GREAT ON THE TESTS FOR HER CLASS.
She is an amazing teacher! The material is tough but she makes it interesting and is very clear about what is going to be on tests.
AWESOME teacher, taking her again for Bio 1612. I love her class. You do have to study for her tests, but if u study the powerpoints, and lectures, you will do fine. :D You will enjoy her class.
Good professor, would recommend. Easy class, studied the lecture notes and dont think I ever read the text. Assignments (few that there were) were easy. Easy subject and well taught.
Dr. Levinson is the absolute best. Her tests are super fair and she is always available to answer questions and help. She's organized and thorough and wants you to succeed. You will not be disappointed if you take her class. Hands down, the best prof. at GPC. Took her for 1611 and 1612 and got As in both
I took Dr. Levinson for 1611 and did well. So I thought I would take her for 1612 lecture and lab, big mistake. 1612 is much harder than 1611. Lab tests are fill in the blank only, no multiple choice! She is thorough but if you are not a self-taught learner, do not take her for 1612. It was alot of info coming at you at 60 mph.
Dr. Levinson is a great teacher at presenting the information you need to know. It is up to you to process the information and put it together. Her test are relatively short. Normally about 25 multiple choice questions and about 12-15 short answer questions with the majority of the weight resting on the multiple choice questions.Tests are very hard
awesome and caring. I took both bio (1611 & 1612) with her.
Dr. Levinson is one of the best AP professors. Her lectures are clear and easy to understand. I got A in this class with a little effort. I would strongly recommend her to any students who really need to know AP material for either Nursing, Pharm, Med program. Tests are decent level, plus extra credits for each test. a lowest test will be dropped.
Dr.Levinson is a great teacher.She is very thorough and knows A/P.You will know the information.Advice:attend class, read the chapters along with ppts. Utilize additional web links she gives.I have an A so far,mid-semester.Spring 2013
Dr. Levinson is an excellent professor. She is passionate about her knowledge and make it as clear as possible for student to understand the material. If you are responsible & don't miss class and use her notes and sites you will learn a treasure of infoatio. Thanks Dr, I may persue my P.A degree as you trasmitted the passion for knowledge to me :)
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
his is not a review i just wanted some tips for her final.... Any tips for her final?
Make yourself a favor and take some other professor. Tests are real hard and confusing!! I study and still fail her tests :(
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.
She is very nice person. I believe she wants her students to do well, however, I didn't learn anything. Her class was extremely difficult and I am an honors student. I wouldnt recommend her.
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!
She is the worst teacher ever! You have to self teach yourself. She grade harsh! Two test that counts 35 percent of your grade only two test. No extra credit.
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.
Very difficult complicated professor. Only 2 tests during the course no extra credit. The tests are very hard she tells you study from the high lighted stuff on the book but actually she high light the whole book with every small details. If u care about your GPA don't never take 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.
The worse teacher ever. Don't take her. You will fail. The test are so hard and tricky . No extra credit. If you are a Nursing major do not take this teacher . She will mess up your GPA.
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
