Nice teacher BUT hope you are already a genius at physiology before you take this class because that's how she expects you to be. Teaches the class as if everyone is just doing a refresher of material they should already know. I would not recommend taking this class to anyone! Tests are extremely hard, mostly recall from memory not multiple choice.

SUPER helpful teacher! if you have any questions she always has time after class. She puts things in terms you can understand and doesn't rush. This class (2085L) is all about memorization anyway, the A&P website is what will get you an A in the class not so much the teacher but I'm telling you this lady is great I ended up with a 101% in the class

Mrs Steiner is a little spacey at times, but is overall she knows what she is talking about and is extremely helpful! Tests are not too hard, but you MUST prepare yourself to do well on them. You have 12 in class pop-quizzes, which she lets you do in groups. She drops four quizes and one test at the end of the semester which is extremely helpful!

Attendance is mandatory, yet she doesn't teach in the lab, just lets you look at models on your own for two hours and occasionally walks around. The class is purely memorization on a lot.Takes off for spelling and all tests are fill in the blank, which is highly hypocritical since she cannot spell or name things herself.

Professor Steiner is a nice & sweet person but she seems flustered at times. The class consist of 3 Exams, Final, Written & Connect Homeworks. Her exams are structured Multiple Choice & Short Response But Dont Fear That She Gives You All You Need During Lecture Time ... Not The Answers But Your Notes Alone Will Help A Lot

Professor likes to ask generalized, broad questions but wants specific, cookiecutter answers. If think outside the box, this is not the professor for you. The upside of this class is if you can vomit out rudimentary information, you're in the clear. But don't put forth ANY extra effort - it is wasted on this professor and will only frustrate you.

I had her for A&P 1 and 2, wouldn't be in nursing school without her and my classmates say the same. All you have to do is print powerpoints, write down everything she says and study word for word. Theres no guessing on the tests if its on there she has given you the information. She has recorded lectures, and gets you ready for harder classes

If you want an A in that class and don't already have knowledge in anatomy before taking, you will need to show up to every class and take all her notes. Attendance is also heavily graded and she is not very understanding. Her study guides don't accurately show what would be on tests either. If you will be missing alot of class, do not take her.

She may be intimidating, but she's a great prof! Just show up to every class, take notes, go to review sessions, and you'll make an A on every exam. Clicker questions are asked (for credit) every class period, and the same questions are sometimes on the test, word for word. She has tons of resources on canvas. If you show up and study, you're good.

Dr. Steiner is good. There are only 4 exams so you have to study really hard to get an A. However, she tells you everything that is on the test. So it is a matter of can you retain the information. She did offer a litte bit of extra credit which helps. This is not an easy class, but Dr. Steiner did not make it tough so I recommend her.
