She is the epitome of a GREAT teacher. Extremely helpful, she wants you to pass the class and get an A. She makes the tests based around her lectures and notes which does make the tests easier. She structures the tests to be split in half so you won't have 4 or 5 chapters on one, as other teachers do. Overall, one of the BEST teachers I've ever had

Biology was a very tough subject for me, there is a lot of extra credit offered, & she is always willing to help, take advantage of her office hours, attend all mock lab practicals, and make a friend, and start a study group. QuizExam questions come from power points, mastering biology, & textbook. Great Prof. taking her this semester for A&P 1

She is strict (counts you absent if you leave even 5 minutes early unless for a good reason) and will withdraw OR fail you if you have 3 absences. As a teacher, she leaves a lot to be desired however she did get across what you will need to know for exams. She also offers EC in the form of disease questions on exams. I rate her 35 stars.

Very sweet lady who really cares about how well her students learn and perform. She uses a lot of analogies and applies stories. She offers some extra credit, and homework is easy but long. You have to study, no way around that; but if you do an A is very doable. Accent is a little tough. She doesn't teach AP2. Dr. Nimri is an excellent professor.

Dr. Nimri is a professor that doesn't cut slack for students who don't try. She knows what she is teaching and is very helpful when you are stuck. If you do the homework she assigns you for each upcoming test you will pass the tests. This class is a hard class so not reading the material, not doing the homework, etc you won't pass.

Dr. Nimri is a wonderful teacher. She is extremely qualified and passionate about biology. I took her for the Spring semester and honestly she was one of the best professors I have ever had! Dr. Nimri not only has passion for Biology but also really loves the art of teaching. I say "art of teaching" because she uses multiple techniques etc.

any anatomy class is tough but she tries to make it as easy as possible for her students with keeping the level of difficulty. if you don't understand something, ask and she will help clarify. 4 exams, 3 practical and we had 2 quizzes in there this semester. Super sweet lady and would definitely take her again if she taught A&P 2

She's is nice but she do not know how to properly interact with people. she can be very rude at time. If you are late for just a 5 mins she will start taking points off from your attendance. She will tell you that you can use your electronics but go back and tell you that they are not allowed. Her test can be all over the place. DON'T TAKE HER!!!

Dr. Nimri has been awesome all semester. If you're taking this class, it's most likely because you're actually going to use this material in whatever field you choose, so she's very specific and helps you understand entire concepts. If you pay attention, she repeats the main test topics throughout lectures so studying isn't bad if you just listen

She makes the class easy but she is very hard on attendance. She wasn't good at time management.. class often ran up to 5 minutes over time and the class felt rushed. I wouldn't call her a bad teacher but personally would not take her again.

I took this class with Professor Nimri and found it very difficult. I studied my notes form the lecture and looked over all the worksheets we did in class. The lectures are super long and you have lots of quizzes. I recommend doing practice activities on the mastering biology she assigns. People who passed the class said that helped a lot.

Nimri cares very much about her students and wants them to do well. That being said, you have to meet her halfway. A lot of students that complained about her didn't show up for class and admitted they rarely study. This is not easy material, but Nimri does a great job teaching. Extra credit available on exams.

Encourages you to ask questions and when you do she is very rude with answering them. Goes over way to much information most of what you don't need to know for the exams. Runs out of time in class for lectures.

Very sarcastic, which i like and shes really passionate about teaching. The lectures last the entire class period which can be difficult to sit through but she really goes through everything in detail. Loved her creative analogies and the repition because it really helped me understand the topics. Would take her again!

I read all the reviews and I think these two comments are TRUE! "If you want to sit and have someone read a departmental power-point show to you, this it! Dull, boring, tedious, unimaginative, not even her own work! Powerpoint came with the book. What happened to critical thinking or teaching" and "Hard to get through her accent" DONT TAKE!

Professor Nimri cares about her students and wants everyone to do well in the class. She gets upset if she sees most students struggling to pass the tests or understand the material and feels it is her fault. She is very trusting or was until a student in my class was cheating on the lab practical scrolling through pictures on her phone.

I was so scared to take AP1 but i got by with an 84!! Nimri is an excellent teacher. As long as you pay attention and study her outlines. Lets you take quizzes in groups! I took her for a crash course and was surprised i came out with such a good grade!

Its miss leading when you meet her but i assure you do not take her classes. I didn't signup for a spelling B. I studied my butt off and missed testing points due to spelling. this is flawed and I wouldn't had taken her class If i knew what I was getting into. There are better teaches. Save the money and heartache.
