Kathy is such an awesome teacher! She is funny as hell and she really helps you learn the material. The class can be extremely hard with other teachers, but she makes it really easy to understand and even makes it pretty fun...I would REALLY recommend her if you're going to take anatomy. I wish all my teachers were like her!

This just goes to show that you cannot always trust what's said on Rate My Professor. Some of these opinions are bias. Kathy is a great teacher. She really does care about her students. It's a difficult class, but all you have to do is read the text and follow the notes. The more you try and understand, the easier the class becomes.

Without a doubt Kathy Stone has been the best professor I have had. As many of the other students have said, SHE CARES for her students. There is a lot of material to take it but if your serious about this class (which you should be if your enrolled) then you will do what is needed. Kathy will make sure she is always there to help you.

Kathy was one of the most memorable professors I've ever had. She genuinely cares about her students and puts in a lot of work for them. The class is hard but if you study the notes you'll do fine. Word of advice, start studying the notes right away, it'll save you a lot of stress. It's a good idea to get the book, you'll want to use it in lab.

She is a nice lady but uses an overhead projector and talks sooooo fast. She writes everything down that she says and you copy and those are your notes. The whole lecture is spent writing (hand cramps) and nothing is explained well. I personally prefer power point with video so i can absorb the information not be rushing to write notes fast.

Kathy's easy to get along with. She makes lectures relaxed and puts in some jokes here and there. She wants her students to pass and her grading criteria is clear and reasonable. No homework assignments to get graded on. You only have to focus on studying for quizzes/tests. Study from the beginning and you'll get a good grade. Would take her again!
