She is a great teacher, you must attend class every day.If you miss class you will have to work hafd to catch up. Alot of info to learn. She gives great notes and asks if you understand so far.

Very Nice Teacher. She is nice to students and gives you about 6-8 points per test for extra credit (you must do homework and quizzes 4 the points). She also gives a free question or 2 on the last question of the test. But her tests are super hard! Very detailed, and you will not do well unless you spend min. 5 hours studying.

She is a really nice professor who is willing to help and open the lab for u to study whenever. The class itself id very difficult and requires tons of studying....but the class is going to be difficult no matter who the professor is. There is no word bank on the test so you really need to know your stuff...but she made the material much easier.

I loved having Mrs. Bowers for A&P 1 and I will be taking her for A&P 2. She writes on a white board so it is easy to keep up with what she's saying while writing. She always lets people ask questions and tries to explain things to where people can understand. The extra credit is around 6 points for each test and it can really boost your grade.

Mrs. Bowers is hands down my favorite professor of all time at ETSU. As a Pre-Nursing student you need to take A&P I and II and Bowers is definitely the way to go. She writes everything out on the board, so there is no fluff material. Exams can be tricky if you do not fully read the question. Make flash cards and re-write lecture notes to study.
