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!

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 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!

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
