Kim is unlike any teacher I've ever had. Was scared to death of her at first. Knows the human body inside and out and presents material in many different ways. Really concerned about her students sucess rate and is always willing to help you out. Be ready to work hard in her class but I couldn't recommend a better teacher for this material.

Kim is a great teacher. Her lecture style is fast-paced, and she does jump from topic to topic quickly sometimes. She is a lenient grader on daily work and papers, but her tests are difficult and she wants to know all that you know on each subject.

Be prepared to spend every waking moment in the lab! The exams are extremely tough and most often have material not included in lecture. This quarter, she missed approx. 2 weeks of class and had the nerve to tell us that if WE don't have time to devote to class, that we should probably drop it. You would be much better off taking Doc Erickson!!

Online. She was horribly unorganized, didn't follow the syllabus schedule, and when posting notices on the class bulletin she never used dates so you had to double check everything she says to make sure you know when things are due or when tests are scheduled. The upshot is if you read her (awful) powerpoints you can get 90% of the test answers.

Worst class I ever took, I hate to say sadly. Wasn't clear on any of the assignments and some of the questions on there where super open ended that it was hard to make sense about anything for. The power points are useless for the exams I had to google pretty much everything, but the exams and final project are worth are lot of points too.

Get ready to hunt through the most unorganized Canvas modules I have ever seen to find the relevant information for each assignment. Her lack of organized thought is a huge disservice to her students. Kim often uses inaccurate anatomical terminology and spouts anecdotal nutrition fallacies as fact, perpetuating disordered eating and misinformation.

Worst experience at this school so far. She did not offer feedback and when she did, it was non-specific, not helpful, and would not communicate about HOW to do better. She would only say "not good enough" and offer nothing more than that. Her discussion prompts were too vague. Her modules were unorganized. The lectures were bland and not helpful.

Reeves is EXTREMELY unorganized. She asks questions that she hasnt even taught and expects you to just find the answers but doesnt tell you where to be looking. Her modules are confusing and unorganized. She doesnt tell you what chapters you should be reading in the textbook and when. Its beyond frustrating. I wish I never signed up for this.

Kim is a caring professor. She is very knowledgeable. As a student I learned a lot from her. Biology 242 is not an easy class, but if you go to her office hours and ask her all your questions you would do great. Moreover, watch all the videos both on MHC Connect and also in the pages and that would help you learn all what comes in the tests.

Prof. Reeves was not at all accessible out of class. She did not respond to my emails, canvas messages, or phone calls. When i tried to attend her office hours on zoom, she never even let me in the meeting. Assignments were hard and a lot of questions needed outside material to find the answer.

I would not take her class again. She's unorganized. The questions she provided on assignments did not follow what we were learning. If you plan on taking her class, be ready to write. Points will be taken off if you dont have enough information, details, examples, and citations. Add Enough information as possible.

Kim reeves is an awful excuse for a teacher. she is unorganized, never teaches the course, is behind on grading, VERY tough grader, and is the worst instructor I have ever experienced in my life. she doesn't allow re-submission and does not tell you what you did wrong. DO NOT take this course.

Vague instructions for assignments, and no rubrics provided. She's a very tough grader. She's very hard to get ahold of- not ideal for an online course. The majority of the class was watching tedtalks and reading slideshows with outdated info. She has us calculate BMI as an assignment- any nutritionist can tell you that's a bad sign.

She's very limited on what information she gives you. Rubrics are no where to be found even though in an assignment it'll say there's a section for it, but there is not. Her assignments make no sense, expect a lot of grammatical errors. Very writing heavy. Yes I got a good grade but the amount of hours I would have to put in for a simple assignment

Pretty tough grader and her rubrics are not very clear. There is a lot of reading and big assignments! Quite a few Ted-Talks but there are 5 large assignments worth 100 points, 5 food assignments worth 25 points and 5 read discussions worth 25 points. Does not expect late work!!

I wish I had read Kim's ratings before taking her class. This was the worst class I have taken so far. It was online, but the course was so disorganized. Kim is IMPOSSIBLE to reach outside of class. I also experienced issues with my tests being graded incorrectly, and when I tried to reach out about it, no response. I do not recommend her class.

Kim is such a mean professor and a terrible grader. When it came to trying to get help or clarification on something she would not do that or if you tried to email, canvas, or any way reach out to her you most likely wouldn't get a response. She does not explain anything whatsoever. Some people aren't meant for teaching and she is one of them!

She shouldn't be teaching online classes. She would take forever to respond to my emails and would only answer one of my many questions in the email. The class is pretty easy only having one or two assignments a week . If you take the class i would say it is possible to succeed but you will have to read the syllabus religiously.

I had taken Kim for an online class before and had a terrible experience so I was nervous on how this would go, but she is definitely a WAY better professor in person and I honestly really enjoyed her class. Since it was A&P2 it was obviously very challenging, but the way she formats tests made it a lot less intimidating.

Reeves is the most unorganized teacher I have ever had.The tests are so hard and Reeves does nothing to help you prepare for them. As someone who works extremely hard in school, I did everything I could to succeed in this class and still got an A-, losing my 4.0. Please don't take this class unless you want to lose your sanity.

Kim is one of the most caring and straight-to-the-point professors I've ever had. She truly wants the best for her students and makes sure everyone understands the material. The class is work-heavy and you'll spend a lot of time in the lab, but she's fair, supportive, and you'll actually learn a lot. Highly recommend!

Defiantly the worst professor I have taken from so far. Each "lesson" is an 100 - some page power point cluttered with info. The study guides have nothing to do with the exams. She does not care whether you fail or not. Each weeks lessons are easy and straight forward, but one bad exam score will destroy your grade. No extra credit or test retakes.
