Ok I had her for Anatomy and physiology.. Attendance is only mandetory for lab days, she does not take attendance on lecture days. she is pretty borring, I really didn;t like her teaching style. It seemed to me like she had no idea what she was talking about.. BUT other people around me thought she was a pretty good teacher.

Prof always gives an opportunity to ask quest.and explains everything clearly and concisely. Her focus was - teaching us. Whether visual, verbal or written - her priority was - us. She does NOT have an accent at all. Other students agreed when initially we thought we wouldn't understand anything as it is a difficult class. Prof was great.

Karen has absolutely no accent and since she is - as far as I know and can see, a 100% American. The truly captivating thing about her class was - I always wondered if she took Speech and such classes, because her lectures were concise, clear - absolutely no um's, hum's etc,. She is tough, but man, you really learn alot!

For a intro to A&P, thought it was intense. I didn't care for her testing style. She tests over 5-6 Ch. at a time & open lab tests covered even more. Maybe due to the class size, 40 plus students. Not much one-on-one time with the instructor. For me, overload to learn that way. She does give out lecture notes but you must attend class to get them.

Oliver-Tucci: unorganized (constantly shuffles papers to find materials), loses train of thought (um, smacks lips) so she repeats herself A LOT, ignores questions during lecture.

She is literally theee best!!! She's very straightforward with the course work and never tests you outside of what she has taught in her lectures and labs. It's A&P, obviously you're gonna have to read and memorize tons of stuff. She wants you to succeed, but you gotta put in the work. I worked towards a B and got it. I had 3 other science classes

Professor Oliver-Tucci was absolutely amazing. Not only did she make her lecture and lab tests straight forward, but she was very inspirational. She is very eager to see her students succeed and wants to be there! Provides notes from the book and lab manual, which is an easy study guide to an A.
