She's an excellent teacher and really breaks down the whole aspect of the body. I really enjoyed her class. Her exams although are somewhat pre-med type. I've never had a professor make up such difficult tests. She also doesn't review for test or give any clue on certain portions to focus on. Memorize the chapters and lecture guides. Not easy.

I love her! She is an amazing professor. Knows how to teach&explains everything. Her ppts r the key for passing her exams. She's the type of prof that teaches black&white. NOT black gray blue (if u know what I mean). She's not teaching to "trick" you. She teaches us the basics, which will allow us to understand more complex things later to come!

The Good. She gives extra credit on each test making the class an easy A. The Bad. She isn't particularly easy to get in contact with and has very little engagement with the class. If you are an organized self starter, this class will be no problem. If you need to be prodded along, look elsewhere.

Horrible professor but simple class. She is straight forward with the structure of the class. She just sits at her desk while we, the students, have to figure out all the parts of the body on our own. She only helps if you ask her.
