I can't believe people think that she's a hard professor. Dr. Laura is very clear about what will be on quizzes and practicals. She doesn't waste time on the useless/boring stuff (I've heard that a lot of the AP Lab teachers are a snooze.) I'm taking her now for AP1 and hopefully will take her for AP2. No problem getting good scores in her class.

Dr. Laura is a great teacher. Her quizes were only challaging if you did not study, as with any class! She made it very clear what was going to be on the quizes, and the practicals were reasonable. She would allow extra study time after class, and was very easy to work with! I wish she was teaching A&P 2 lab :(

Dr. Gionet is a sweetheart! Very fast paced class, but she covers everything thoroughly. Short lectures and lots of time hands on. No surprises on the practicals. If you pay attention it is all stuff you've seen before. She has very little patience with lazy students and she rewards those who are earnest learners with her undivided attention.

She is not a bad instructor. Although she is a natzi when it comes to timing the quizzes. On her quizzes she gives you like a minute to answer the question and you have to move on even if you're still thinking. But she does interact with the class and interested in your understanding of the subject. I would recommend her.

Great Prof! I wish she'd lecture a little more in class, but that's just me. She goes over everything she'll test on(test every class, 10 ?s). If you need more time on the test, say so (unless it's a mini prac, she'll give more time). Stay for the whole class and she'll do whatever she can to help you. leave early and she won't be so keen to help.

Has the potential to be an excellent educator. If you are among the chosen students in the class that are liked, then she is very helpful. If you aren't, then she is extremely unprofessional.

Dr G is completely unprofessonial. Chooses her favorites in class as if she's an adolescent and tries to embarrass/announce students who may be struggling. Very unwilling to answer ?'s that I've had in both lecture & lab. In addition she treats you like you're an idiot if you ask ?'s. I'm a straight A student but she treats me like i'm an idiot.

She was the worst teacher who I ever had. She doesn't teach nothing; you have to teach yourself. Be careful, if you try to ask her questions, she might give you the worst attitude which sometimes make you cry.She is very unprofessonal and moody, one day she is so nice and next she is so mean. Her test and grading is easy, but I don't recomend her.

I guess I was one of the "chosen ones" I thought she was fine! She can be moody, but is very supportive, and helpful. She just hates it if you don't study, apply yourself, interrupt her or don't read before class. Lab is harder than lecture anyway.

I was nervous taking A&P 1 during summer since it's an accelerated class, but she is a great teacher. She is passionate about this subject and wants you to succeed. She makes power points for all her lectures and she goes through them all pretty quickly in class. Read the chapter and print out the lectures before class and use the study room!

Dr. Gionet is a really great instructor, but tough. She is very thorough and really wants her students to grasp the information and there is A LOT of information. She is very organized and provides you with all the lecture notes to study from. You do not really need the book, unless it is for reference. Just make sure to be very detail oriented.

I am taking her summer A&P 1 lecture class and it is a lot of information, but she gives you the information and tools you need. She is very helpful outside of class as well. I was going to take Brightman for A&P 2, but I decided to switch to Gionet because I love her class so much. I recommend her if you are going into nursing.

Dr. G cares, she can be flexible, she makes herself accessible, and she knows her material; however, I wouldn't call "teaching" her strong suit. She expects you to know a lot. We would benefit from her taking a moment to recap things she's had years to understand and digest. Things we JUST crammed in A&P 1, or earlier in the same semester, even.

Be prepared for class. Books aren't required for the class but printing lab sheets and the notes are very helpful in being successful in the classroom. During lecture it does actually help when you print out the notes and bring it to the lecture class to write down any info that the prof. says that isn't in the PowerPoint.
