Teacher doesn't really teach!! Just makes notes from the text and you spend your lecture time with her reading to you from the notes!!
No Comments
Gives extra credit on basically everything. Is very fair and her personality is enjoyable. She actually made me laugh! Lectures can be boring. Lab was fun. The class itself is difficult so it is what you make of it. I didn't have high expecations for this class as far as being fun before I took it anyway so I can't say I am dissapointed!
you have to teach yourself
Anatomy is a very challenging course. She really wanted us to be successful. She gave us all kinds of ways to help memorize. She was always available and eager to help. Some people would leave lab early or not come to class and then complain that it was her fault they didn't do well. I think she is awesome.
Professor hill is AMAZING!!! If you have to take anatomy take her! Im confused as to how people could not like her. She had a very unique way of teaching and wanted her students to do well. Tests were VERY fair and you were able to do corrections on everyone. I wish she would teach more bio classes!!!
Great teacher. Very fair. If you put in the time and effort, she will reward you with a good grade. Not an easy class if you don't show up! Even added humor to her lectures! Loved her!
I was so afraid of Anatomy, but I am really enjoying it so far. I love this teacher. She really cares about us getting it down. Funny,too. Anyone who doesn't like her is probably just mad because she doesn't give grades away if you don't work for it. I've heard awful things about some of the others. If you can get into her class do it
She is the best! This course is so hard but she did everything she could to help us. I really wish they were all like her!
SHE WAS THE BEST OF THE BEST VERY HARD COURSE IT'S JUST ALL MEMORY NOT HOW WELL U UNDERSTAND IT.SHE LETS U DO CORRCTIONS AND GIVE U TIME TO DO ASSIGNMENTS. VERY VERY PATIENT. TAKE HER THE OTHER TEACHERS ARE HARDER. VERY FAIR. MAKE THIS CLASS YOUR LIFE AND U WILL DO WELL.LECTURES WERE ENJOYABLE DIN'T PUT U TO SLEEP
Professor Hill was absolutly amazing! Anatomy is an incredibly hard class, but Professor Hill made it very easy to understand and was always there for extra help. I highly recommend her!
If you are looking for a biology teacher that is not tricky but straight forward she is a great teacher to have. I emailed her the night before a test to ask a question and she responded within a half hour. Take her, do the work and you will do well in her class.
great
anyone who said anything negative about professor Hill is crazy! She is so nice and has a great personality. Of course you have to teach yourself, it's anatomy! you need to memorize, she can't really help you memorize things you need to do that on your own. she is very good at making things easier to understand though which helps with memorizatio
AWESOME teacher, she is very helpful and always willing to take the time out to help you. She is very funny and has different ways to help you memorize what you need to. She is the best teacher I have had so far!
she is wonderful and superhit.. easy bonus point....easy homework, she is really great.... as long you memorize her work your good to go with a good A
Great prof!!! Test are really fair, tested directly from her notes. Don't really need the book, but useful to have in case you want to look stuff up. Attendance is important towards he end of class because it could help you get a higher grade. Basically they're free points if you show up to class, if not then it'll will be a detriment to your grade
She is a nice prof. But does not explain things very well, just quickly goes through everything then expects you to get it right away!!
sensible lectures, easy assignments, fair tests, overall she is wonderful
Anatomy is an extremely hard class. Prof. Hill makes it ten times easier than it could be. Loves teaching and always willing to meet with you and explain anything you don't understand. This class requires a ton of studying, but I have really enjoyed her class.
I loveee her! the best prof. I've ever had at MCC so far, I enjoy the class, anatomy is not easy but she makes it so fun and easy for you to learn, the tests are from her notes, Great personality, Great person! Highly recommend !! If you need Bio 142 or Bio 156 take her!!!
I really loved taking this class with Prof. Hill. She is really funny, down to earth, and very fair!! You HAVE to attend lectures & labs. You HAVE to do the homework. You HAVE to STUDY!!!!! She gives you all the info needed for the tests & lab practicals, there are no surprises!! JUST DO YOUR WORK! And you'll do great.....She is the best
Professor Hill is a wonderful teacher---although sometimes she teaches thinking that we are all bio majors already and should know an abundance of information like she does. Very easy to reach for extra help and she gives you everything you need to be ready for the tests! Definitely use the text book as a resource
Amazing teacher. She was always very helpful and keep people interested in the class. Fair homework and test grading too.
I really enjoyed having her as my prof. It was a difficult class but she was always there to help me. I really liked her teaching style too. I have already reccomended her to others. She is awsome.
she makes anatomy so much better!!
Professor Hill is so nice and helpful. She gives outlines for every lab, and tells you exactly what models she will use for which questions on the lab. She asks you questions based on EXACTLY what is written in your lecture notes. If you do your part and study outside of class, you will do great.For a tough class, most kids have great grades!
Great teacher...I've both Anatomy and Bio 156 with her. 156 is more her thing, but she does a great job teaching and has a very likeable personality
To be a successful and likable professor you must absolutely LOVE what you teach and Prof Hill definitely does. She has such a fun personality and explains concepts thoroughly.
Very Nice Professor. She tells you all the material that will be test covered and puts it online. Do your work submit it on time, study for tests and you'll be pleased with your grade
She is just awesome! She is funny and explains everything great. She is fair
Does not really 'teach'. Should spend more time creating her own lecture plan instead of using the books lesson plan. She has a good sense of humor but I kind of need someone who is a great teacher.
By the time you are done taking this class you will have learned very little about anatomy.
This course requires a great teacher. Did not get one.
these people complain to much she is the easiest teacher ever.. she gives quizess online hw lecture.. all you study for is lab and lecture.. not tricky the lowest grade you can get is a C.. plz dont listen they just didnt do well cause they were in lalala land..
Professor Hill is highly competent and covers the large amount of core material as lucidly as possible, emphasizing concepts rather than memorization. It is a very hard class but that is as it should be for future medical professionals. She is very helpful.
IF you want to pass do all the work.. the lecture exam are straight from the powerpoint, DONT USE TEXTBOOK.. She is amazing and the lowest grade you can earn is a C so dont take this class with no one else but her she is sweet and down to earth..
Professor Hill was very straight forward and helpful when it came to covering the material. She always is available after class and aims for her students to succeed. This is def. not an easy course so be prepared for some serious study time. But if you put in the effort and listen to Hill, your bound to do well.
EXCELLENT prof. to take this class with. The work is NOT easy if you do not put the time forth to study. You must study very hard if you want to pass this class.
Great teacher, only issue I have is the notes in class are not complete gives terms without definition. In lab she gives exercise's and wont tell you the correct answers so you could be studying from the wrong answers...
even tho i was texting almost everyday in her class she didn't say anything.and she is very helpful and give you everything that you need for the test. not a big fun of bio but she help me
This is a tough course, but if you really focus and ask for her help, she will help. Her sense of humor was also a great plus. she kept me interested and pushing for success. She is by far the best teacher i have had at mcc and this is my 2nd year. There is a ton of material for the course, so take notes and i even recorded lecture on my phone
Anatomy is a very hard class, you need to put in the time to study if you want to do well. Prof Hill was amazing and tells you exactly what you need to know for her tests. She is kind, willing to help, friendly, and fun! If you can get into her class you will have a good time. You can get an A if you put in the work!
Very good professor. Anatomy is a very difficult class but she still teaches it very well. In comparison to the other professors for Anatomy, she is the best. Tests are relatively easy and homework is as well. If you study you will pass without a doubt.
The nature and volume of the material in this class makes it challenging. That said I do not believe anyone could present it better than Professor Hill. This is not a course for a liberal arts specialist. It is for people entering the health care or research field, so be prepared to work hard and learn a lot. Prof. Hill is excellent.
Just finished Dr. Hill's anatomy class. I have only praises for her and her style of teaching. She knows her stuff, presents concepts in a clear manner,very helpful and approachable. She designed the course so that students learn more. Goes out of her way to make students understand the concepts. So lucky to be in her class.Excellent prof! 10/10!
Excellent organization, clarity and specificity. Incredibly responsive to questions and deeply concerned about the learning of students. I highly recommend Professor Hill.
You have to put the work into Anatomy to earn your grade, but I can't imagine a better professor to help you get there. Professor Hill is very organized and clear in her expectations. She is quick to help and quick on getting your grades back. And besides, she is funny! Highly recommend!
I Loved Hill's style. This is a very hard class and I would not want to take it with a prof other than Hill. She is very helpful, very clear, pleasant and encouraging. She returned assignments quickly and pointed out what why you got things wrong. Lab practicals are very difficult but she is always willing to clarify any questions you may have.
Anatomy is a hard, fast paced course. Dr. Hill is the best professor to take this class with. She is very helpful and funny. I love her.
Greatest professor very fair.
She is very fair. Its a very hard course. Professor Hill is great at helping and teaching.
This professor was amazing Anatomy is a tough class but she is willing to help you work towards a good grade. I have had her more than once also taking 133 with her. Her personality us great You won''t find a better anatomy teacher Yes the class is hard but she tries to help you as best she can.
Professor Hill is willing to go out of her way to help you succeed. She does an excellent job at teaching an extremely challenging class. If you're not willing to put in the effort and do the work, then it's not the class for you. Regardless of the professor, you need to put in the work for this class, but she makes it as easy as possible.
Like stated below, Professor Hill is an awesome teacher. I was extremely intimidated walking into Human Anatomy but I am leaving this course extremely confident. Hill is not the only reason why I am so successful though. You MUST put time and effort into this class and you WILL succeed.
This course is not easy but professor hill makes it fun and worthwhile. Definitely recommend this teacher for anatomy. She is also very helpful.
Dr. Hill is an amazing professor, she's always available to answer questions and clarify material for students. Anatomy is such a hard class and she goes above and beyond to help students get through it. You'll get the grade you work for in her class. Don't leave lab early, she will give students who stay until the end tips for the tests.
This course is challenging, but Dr. Hill makes her expectations clear and provides many resources for help. There are no surprises, everything is organized and planned in advance. Her tests very much follow her material. Best choice for Bio 142. Tough but fair.
I would highlight more tags to summarize Dr. Hill but it doesn't allow more than 3. Dr. Hill does her job very professionally with a sense of humor. There is a decent amount of work involved throughout a semester. She's super clear and is willing to discuss. Lectures aren't particularly captivating but she knows her stuff and inspires her students.
HIll is a very fair professor. She makes it clear what you need to do well and even offers a small amount of extra credit on the tests. The grade you get reflects the effort you put in. I am very glad that I chose to take anatomy with her and would recommend to anybody else to do the same.
This was my second time taking Anatomy and after my first experience i was very apprehensive. Professor Hill changed that. She made the material seem less intimidating. She gives a lot of homework assignments but they are SO helpful with retaining material and it's a very helpful grade boost. Do everything you can to take BIO 142 with her! :)
I had Professor Hill for Bio Lab 132. She is very clear about what she wants. She is fair and will help you if you need it. I learned more from her class than I did in regular Bio 133. Pretty outgoing and friendly. Would recommend!
Dr Hill made me fall in love with Anatomy! Loved, loved, loved this class. Gives lots of homework BUT it is only to benefit you, trust me!! Lectures are kind of boring (which ones aren't), but she is funny so that helps! Study hard, put in 120% of your effort, and you'll get an A! She gives extra credit in all of her tests. I highly recommend.
Love this teacher! I found a really dry subject to be extremely enjoyable. It's not an easy course but her tests are very clear, she is super organized, grading turning around is within the week. Recommend taking pictures of models in lab, I used evernote to store them on my phone. If you are a tactile learner, you need open lab. I got an -A.
Professor Hill is the BEST! She dumbs down the material and makes it easy for you to understand and will help you with any questions you have. Test questions are very direct and she doesn't try to confuse you. Just do the readings and study on your own time and complete the homeworks and you'll get an A like I did!
Hardest class I've ever taken. Classmates who had other professors told of a much easier time. Everything in the chapter was on the tests & final was cumulative. Lab practicals were timed with only a few min at each station. High pressure! Nice person, very helpful in lab, but I would still recommend taking this course with another prof.
My experience was in an honors course but I found that the class was a lot like my 155 class. The main difference was how strictly she graded. From her honors courses she expects more from her students than she puts into the teaching. If you take an Honors course with Hill, expect to do the vast majority of teaching yourself.
Dr. Hill is an amazing and funny professor. She is incredibly clear about what is expected of you and what will be on the tests. It's an overwhelming amount of info (especially over the summer) but she tries to make it less intimidating. Take pictures of labeled models in lab!! She always had bonus questions on lab practicals and tests. Great prof!
I thought that Dr. Hill was a fantastic professor. She actually cares about teaching and making class interesting. If this is your 1st anat class I highly recommend doing the reading/homework/quizzes asap so you can focus on studying before the tests. There is extra credit and test are very fair so if you put the work in you should do well.
Lectures are thorough and detailed. She lays out exactly what you need to know and leaves you to it. ASK QUESTIONS. She will answer everything you throw at her and is more than willing to clarify. Read chapter, take notes,learnsmart questions, quiz, test. repeat. Heavy in memorization. Find a study buddy. Professor Hill makes this course managable
This professor makes this class harder than it is. reads off slides, grades strictly, seems to enjoy watching people fail. would recommend take this class with a different professor.
Dr. Hill is a great professor! She only tests on what she lectures on in class for the unit exams, so make sure you go to lecture. She is an engaging lecturer, and very funny. I was never surprised by a grade in her class, she is very clear on her expectations. I wish she was teaching 145!
She's an excellent professor! She explains things well and helpful in answering questions. Read the chapters, do all the Connect assignments and study on a regular basis. Study what is on her PowerPoints for tests. Bonus questions/points are available for each of her tests.
A&P is a hard class in general but Dr. hill made it as simple as possible. If you know the PowerPoint slides the tests are not a surprise. Lab exams are hard but she tells you exactly what is going to be on them. I wish she taught 145 I would take it with her in a heartbeat. Definitely recommend!
Professor Hill was awesome! There is a ton of information in the human anatomy 144. Her unit exams were right off her powerpoint lectures with no surprises and she offers extra credit. Very straight forward on what you need to know/ what is expected for the practicals. She's kinda goofy but in a good way which makes the lectures/labs go quickly.
Had Hill for my first round in this class. She was a decent teacher, but she relies on student book work more than I like. Had to retake this class due to lack of understanding.
Dr. Hill is an amazing professor. I took BIO 144 with her. She is a tough grader but she is very organized and clear about what is going to be on the test. She cuts down a lot of information and makes you know only the important stuff for the test. There are 5 unit exams, 1 dropped 2 lab exams, about 5 quizzes and a final exam.
One of the best professors Ive ever had. She goes above and beyond explaining material to make sure you understand it. Shes a tough but fair grader.
This class is not a walk over. It requires heavy reading and a lot of attention. Professor Hill breaks down the material so its not so complicated in the best way she can. She's always available during office hours. A very tough grader and you really have to work for your grade in this class. Overall she is a fair teacher and would take her again
Not worth take this class with her..
Tough class great professor. if its not in her notes it will not be on a test. Dont take this class if you arent ready to put in ten hours at least a week outside of class.
Dr. Hill is a great teacher, but also a TOUGH grader. If you are a person who slacks off, you will NOT pass her class. If you are not a person who puts forth extra effort, you will NOT pass her class. She is very knowledgeable and easy to talk to, but expect to work/study hard and ask a lot of questions. She is good about posting grades quickly.
Organized, helpful and makes learning interesting. Her grade system is easy to keep track of your progress and she gives awesome notes and handouts to break down the material for you. Be ready to study like a full time job to get a good grade. In the end you will remember a lot of concepts and terminology that is used to help in following courses.
Professor Hill knows the subject and is able to explain the complexities to even someone with no understanding of it. You read, review in lecture the material you've read, read labs before laboratories and work alongside your classmates. It takes a lot of your time, be prepared and study every day! Stay on top of material a bit each day!
I absolutely loved Professor Hill. You have to put the work in but it was definitely pay off in the end!!!
Professor Hill is AMAZING! She is very clear with study sheets about what will be on the exams. In a COVID world she has great pre recorded lectures so you can go back and watch them as needed when studying. If you put in the effort you WILL not only get a great grade but you will learn a ton more than with other teachers at MCC!
She's a tough and good teacher, but her feedback is completely rude and makes you feel like you can't do anything right! I regret taking this class.
Professor Hill is a good professor, she knows the material well, however, she can be very rude and condescending toward students at times. Often times I was scared to ask a question in lecture because she would make students feel dumb for asking questions, like we were suppose to know everything already. Wouldn't recommend.
This class is not easy! It requires a ton of effort and studying in order to pass this class. This professor is rated highly for a reason. She explains topics very well, and tells you exactly what to study for each quiz or test. She was extremely flexible with lectures because they are recorded. Highly recommend taking this class with prof Hill!
Professor Hill is AMAZING! She is very clear with study sheets about what will be on the exams. She has recorded all the lectures so that you can review them anytime. She always helps me and answers my questions patiently. It is not an easy course. You need to take a lot of time on it. In the end, half of the students withdraw from the course.
Professor Hill was okay, rude at times, but she knows her stuff. She is more than happy to go over the material with you however makes you feel dumb in the process. Most of the class consisted of watching her lecture videos. You'll get a decent grade in the class as long as you study and put in the work.
She knows her stuff so I would take her again but on a personal level she is a very tough person and seems to lack empathy with students. On a couple occasions I was very sick this semester and was given the option of receiving a zero or taking the test. She heavily believes the grade you got is what you deserve and does not steer from that, at all
she was very rude but she knows her information and she was very passionate about what she does but personally, I was scared to ask her for advice and when I did she said it was impossible to get help even though I wasn't that far from a passing grade so if you need I would go to other people. when she taught I felt stupid. it was stressful
my favorite thing about professor hill that i do not see represented on her profile here is how FAST of a grader she is. often times grades were uploaded day of/day after! i so appreciate the effort that takes, and also love not having to wait ages to keep up with how im doing in the class
-Grades the same day you take a test/lab -Tons of extra credit, including on every test and lab -Every lecture powerpoint is provided with a shortened and lengthened version which will give you everything you need to know for a test -No trick questions -Everything you need to know for lab practical/test is clearly outlined -No mandatory lecture
This class was hard and many people dropped out due to that, however, Dr.Hill is an amazing professor who I wish taught BIO145. She was very clear about what she wanted from us and what was expected of us to know and if you failed to pay attention you would fail. She made class very entertaining and is always willing to help in or out of class.
Professor Hill was my favorite professor I've ever had at MCC. She was extremely clear with expectations and by studying all the items put on her organized study guides/lecture notes, I was able to ace all of the exams. She makes this difficult class fun and is also very caring towards her students. I wish I could take a class with her again!
Professor Hill is AMAZING. If you need to take anatomy, take it with her. She gives very clear guidelines about what is going to be on the lecture tests/lab quizzes. Her lectures are engaging, its clear she knows her stuff and is passionate. Anatomy is hard but professor Hill makes it manageable. If you dont do well in her class, it's on you.
She reads her power points to you and does not elaborate. There are no study guides for lecture test only for lab quizzes. If you don't write exactly what SHE wants on a lab quiz she will take points off.
Profesor Hill is best Of the best! She gives a lot of bonuses on every quiz and lecture test. Her explanation is very clear and she has straightforward notes. I really enjoy this course, and I advice you to take Bio 144 with wonderful doctor Hill.
If your going to take Anatomy and Physiology 1, Dr. Hill is the best teacher for it, I've been in her class twice now and many students are there because of her well know teaching skills in the field. Shes great at her job and makes A&P easier to learn both in fall/spring semesters and even the summer course.
HANDS DOWN best professor The class itself is extremely difficult but she makes it so tolerable I would not have gotten by without her she really cares about her students wants them to succeed extremely grateful for Dr Hill
Professor Hill is not an easy professor, very picky about everything. Even the things that is not related to biology she will deduct points for it. For instance if you draw something not according to her expectations, she will even deduct points from that. Her behavior differs from person to person which make it more annoying to tolerate her.
Took bio 144 this spring with professor hill and she was great! Anatomy and physiology is difficult due to the amount of material you need to know but professor hill will help and guide you!
I took BIO 144 with Professor Dr.Hill during my first semester here at MCC. The class itself is very challenging, as to be expected though. Dr.Hill made it very clear what she was expecting and there is the opportunity for extra credit on the lab exams and in lectures, as well as she's always willing to explain extra during office hours.
Dr Hill has helped me throughout this semester so many times and genuinely wants her students to do well. She gives extra credit on every lecture test and lab exam, if you pay attention in class she sometimes hints to what the question will be. Not a lot of hw but be prepared to study. Emails back fast, always has office hours. Take her class!!
this class is super easy and she makes it very clear what needs to be done. there's a super light workload; just complete the labs and do a pre-lab every week, and you're set! the exams are a little tricky but if you look at the material for 30 minutes you'll do alright. she wants to help you; ask questions!
Grades tests really fast, offers extra credit, one of the best biology professors at this school. If you have to take this course be sure to take it with Professor Hill.
Anatomy and Physiology with Professor Hill is no easy feat, but her clear guidance and passion make it manageable. Consistent effort and tools like unstuckstudy are key to success in this challenging yet rewarding course.
one of the best professors i had
Awesome prof. with very clear expectations. The class is hard, she knows it and she gives you ALL the tools you need to succeed. Just study what she asks you to and you'll do great. She's also a very quick grader. Multiple choice lecture tests and image labeling lab tests. There are many tests, but that actually helps you.
No words other than best professor I have ever had. If you have to take A&P at MCC, take it with Dr. Hill, you will not regret it!
Very sarcastic and rude in emails
she is very sarcastic, wouldn't recommend asking any questions unless you want to feel stupid after. the class is tough but manageable if you study enough. Lecture tests are slightly confusing but Lab exams are easy and exactly what is expected before you take them.
Homework, quizzes and tests are very straight forward. Only thing I wasn't a fan of was the writing assignments but i you give yourself time it really isn't too difficult. There isn't an overwhelming amount of work in this class which is nice when you're taking a handful of other classes. She is very easily accessible if you have any issues.
