This lab is ridiculous. This is by far the hardest thing that I have done at Auburn. I study more for this lab than I do anything else. There is a lot of information you have to know. Lab exams are fill in the blank, and now have free response paragraphs on them. I think they are trying to make us all fail lab and drop our curriculums.

Linda made this lab into something that I dreaded each week. I enjoyed the lecture and made an A on all lecture exams so I had a good understanding of the material, but Linda just made this lab impossible. She is unfair, never accessible, and rude. Worst professor at Auburn in my opinion.

This is the worst class that I have taken at Auburn University so far. The lecture is great, but the lab is something awful. She takes this lab too seriously for little class credit. Busy work is all that you do for homework. It is ridiculous. If I had not done poorly in the lab, I would have had an A in anatomy. Lab is half of your grade...

I spent more time on this lab than I did for any lecture class this semester. Way too much work for a 1 hour credit. Her instructions are not clear and you don't know the correct status of your grade until final grades have been submitted. so. many. assignments. And she takes off fractions of points even when you answered the question correctly.

A lot of work for a one hour credit. I had to put as much work into this class as my lecture courses. She is inpatient and rude through email, so it's good that the labs are actually run by helpful TAs. Your grade will basically be your 3 practicals, so you can't bomb any of them for a good grade. Do every extra credit opportunity available.

The Anatomy II lab is nearly impossible. For a 1 hr credit I spent more time on this lab than any of my other classes. She gives extra credit, but the material is outrageously difficult. I learned nothing because I was so focused on memorizing and moving on to learn the 1000s of terms she gave us. Be prepared to work. Hopefully you get a good TA.

This lab was AWFUL. I spent more time on this one hour lab than on the actuall anatomy class. The information was insane and the testing was so stressful. The only thing that saved my grade was the few bonuses that she gave because we were all failing. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!!!!!

This lab is so hard for no reason. There is so much material to learn it is nearly impossible. The practicals are extremely hard especially online due to COVID. She did give extra credit, but it took me days to complete and it still wasn't enough for me to get my grade where it needed to be. The lecture (BIOL 2500) is 3 credit hours and 10x easier.

Do not take this class if you do not have to. I have never had to do more work for any other class in my entire life, and it is literally only 1 credit hour. She tests you on tons of information at once, and is really just not the best in general. AVOID IF POSSIBLE!

She is rude over email when you ask a question about her unclear announcements. We got to go in lab 1 time and then got tested on something we had only seen once or not seen at all. She did not give us proper material to help prepare and study. I put an extreme amount of effort into this class and have struggles to keep a B.

This lab includes an INSANE amount of information. Get ready to study. We had the choice of taking the practicals in person or online which was nice. However, I would never take this lab again. The practicals were insanely challenging. I would study for two weeks and still fail . The only thing that saved my grade was the bonus. I was so thankful.

To only be a 1 credit hour course with the amount of studying you have to do is unrealistic. If I didn't have a good GTA my grade would not have been an A. Tons of extra credit which is great. But the amount of information you have to know for the practicals is insane. She's the only lab coordinator pretty much for A&P so you just gotta STUDY!

Hardest class Ive ever taken taken! and hard to no reason. This was a lab class and much harder than the lecture class. Impossible tests and quizzes. gives bonus assignments that take hours to do and barely helps your grade. sweet woman but awful class. Ive never cried so hard and been so stressed over a class in my life. I got a B, but barely.

Not only was her class impossible due to it mostly being online, she is beyond rude and disrespectful to students. When I asked her for help she told me that my grade was my fault and clearly I just didn't do what she said instead of working with me about my confusion in her class she told me "Good luck even passing." Horrible prof-worse person.

Truly made AP1 and 2 labs living hell. Very limited resources given for study, and pictures never match the practicals. Also has an attitude about low grades, when they entirely reflect her. TAs saved my grade with zoom reviews and ways to study and are the only reason I passed.

Get ready to study way more than you should for a one hour course & make a bad grade because she tests on stuff that she doesn't tell you about, but expects you to know. I make good grades because I work hard, but in this class it doesn't matter how hard you work. She also walks in the lab barefoot with her dog that chews on the preserved organs !

For starters, her DOG which she brings to class ATE my brain dissection. He jumped on the table and just NOMMED on half of it. She is an "animal behavioralist" and cannot even teach her own dog the simple command "stay." Secondly, she walks around class BAREFOOT! Talk about "lab safety." She badmouths students in the hallway for asking questions.

Linda is most definitely the worst kind of person. I unfortunately have had to have her as lab coordinator for 3 years and I have NEVER seen her before. She doesnt care if you pass or fail and she doesnt care if you email her about a problem, your response will be you shouldve done better TERRIBLE professor. ONLY way to pass is thru LAs.

I feel very sorry for you if you have to take A&P labs because Linda is the only lab coordinator. Linda is god awful and she made lab a living hell. Ive never studied so hard for a class before only for it to be worth 1 credit. This lab made me feel like I was drowning in information. If you want to pass I recommend studying AT LEAST 8hrs everyday

IF YOU CAN TAKE THIS ANYWHERE BESIDES AUBURN DO IT! Linda is mean, unprofessional and your only option. Least respected prof by ALL her students because she is unreasonable. The LA's are the only reason people survive. I heard her in the hallway laughing about a failing avg (56%). AVOID . INSANE amount of information and harder than lecture. WORST!

The amount of work and time required for this lab, being that it is a 1 HOUR credit is ridiculous. It takes up just as much time as the 3 hour credit anatomy class and compared to other labs that I have taken such as organic chem 1 and 2, it is way harder.

If you have to take anatomy lab at Auburn and she is still the only lab coordinator- Just transfer or take the class somewhere else. She makes fun of students, mocks emails she receives, screams at GTAs, walks around barefoot in lab videos and is not only a terrible teacher but downright mean. Truly do not know how Auburn hasn't fired her yet.

I try to give every professor the benefit of the doubt, BUT linda is literally the worst. She is incredibly rude and super unwilling to help, if she even reads your email. Class should be a 3 hour credit class with the amount of work this woman assigns. Gives extra credit that takes hours to finish and barely helps your grade. AVOID at all costs

The only nice thing Dr. Pastorello offers is extra credit, although she only has to offer extra credit because her practicals and quizzes are so difficult. I have never heard of students spending more time studying for a 1 credit lab than a 3 credit lecture class until I had Dr. Pastorello. She is incredibly unprofessional. DO NOT TAKE.

Worst lab ever

Linda is extremely hard. Considering that this class is already hard normally, she makes it 100 times worse. If you have to take this class for your degree, TAKE IT SOMEWHERE ELSE. Even though this is a one hour class, I felt like it took up more time than my 3 hour lectures. This class honestly made me want to drop out of Auburn. DO NOT TAKE!

class is extremely difficult. linda is absolutely the worst. i have never been more stressed over anything in my life. all of her students are pre-health majors, so you know we aren't expecting anything to be easy at this point, BUT this is ridiculous. i've had her for two semesters now and i cannot wait to never have to deal with this lady.

Very displeased with the organization of her class. It was all over the place and poorly executed. Linda is not understanding nor does she care about the students. She gives bonus but only because if she didnt everyone would fail. I studied more for lab than class. The only thing I learned from this class is what extreme test anxiety feels like.

Worst professor by far. Completely unprofessional and Auburn University should be ashamed to have her running the Anatomy labs.

Not Helpful Rude Unsympathetic Lots of study materials, but hard tests

This class is extremely hard. The amount of studying she expects you to do for this 1 hour credit class is a little over the top. Yes, this isn't supposed to be an easy class, but she makes it harder than it should be. Be prepared to fail like every test because they are ridiculously hard. She does offer extra credit which is nice.

Her lab practicals have been the lowest grades Ive ever made even though I studied the most for them. She does give a lot of extra credit so it isnt impossible to do well in the class, but you will be very stressed all semester. Unprofessional attitude in emails and in person. Shes the only anatomy lab coordinator at Auburn so take at a CC

This is a very hard class. You will need a lot of time devoted to this class to do well. Her practicals are extremely difficult and graded very harshly. Has an attitude problem when responding to questions or emails. Shes very unorganized and its hard to know what is due and when. She does give a good bit of bonus. Thats the only positive.

She was my only option for lab. Dr. Pastorello is terrible, spelling counts and the models we have tests on are falling apart yet we are still tested on them. There is so much to memorize so study a little every night and that will help so much. DO ALL THE EXTRA CREDIT.

This class is insane. For one credit you are studying so hard for a practical that is graded so harshly and given no feedback. When you do get feedback from Linda it is snarky and rude. She could care less how her students were doing. She talks badly about students to the GTAs in the hallways. She very unprofessional and doesnt wear shoes in lab.

She caused me so much stress I had to get back on my seizure medication after being off of it for two years. She couldn't care less about you as a student or a human being. She wants you to struggle and every question was met with aggression. Her dog even ate the brain from dissection in class. Don' take this class if you care about your well being

Linda regularly walked into lab without shoes on and stuck her bare, ungloved hand into the animals we were dissecting. She's rude and practicals are graded harshly and without the option for partial credit. GTAs told me nearly everyone bombed our first practical. Overall she's just unprofessional and not a nice person so good luck.

I heard the horror stories of taking this class, so I opted to take the online lab version. It seems like it's been easier online, I like that I have time to review all the materials in my own time. Still a lot of weekly assignments and quizzes and the practical's are extremely detailed and difficult. I would recommend taking A&P lab online though.

She is the most unorganized, clueless person I have ever met! Hard to contact and doesnt give you any information. Barely talks to TAs and so they cant help either!!! Only took her class again because it was my only option!

This professor is THE WORST. Her grading style is so picky and it is impossible to pass her practical exams. She expects you to know absolutely everything in no time and gives no lee way. DO NOT RECOMMENDED.

Linda is not a good lab instructor. Rude, adamantly unwilling to help students who reach out with concerns, defensive, and loves to make assumptions without showing any empathy regarding student's situations.Sure she offers bonus assignments but if you physically cannot participate in one, she offers no accessible alternative, ruined the experience

Linda herself is terrible, but you shouldn't have to deal with her. GTAs make or break the class, mine were amazing. Arguably way too much information and studying required for a 1 credit hour class, but it's very easy to make an A or a B. Linda offers a LOT of extra credit. Make sure to do well on the first practical, it's the easiest.

I took her for a&p 1 and 2. No one could pay me enough money to take anatomy 2 lab again. There's only two practicals and weekly quizzes. The practicals are all free response and she is very specific. The average on the first practical was a 50. I only got an A because I did every extra credit opportunity and said a lot of prayers. Study every week

how is this woman still a "teacher"?! so many people fail her class. she is the reason I have to drop out. I have taken her lab 4 times but cannot pass it due to her decision to count off for spelling errors, even after she was told about my accommodations for dyslexia. TA's don't know whats going on and actively talk about how they hate her to POS

She gives extra credit quite a bit but it isn't worth spending 5 hours on a powerpoint your only getting 2 points for. this is way to much work for a 1 credit hour lab. She herself is a horrible person so you have to teach yourself 90% of the material. lab is nothing but busy work that offers no help. you couldn't pay me to deal with this lab again

She genuinely gives such an ABSURD amount of pre/post lab work that never ended up teaching me anything. It is possible to do well in the class and the labs themselves are fine. But the amount of work is insanity for no reason

HORRIBLE! This lab class should be a 3 credit hour class for all the work done before, during, and after. I wouldn't ever take her again but unfortunately she is the only one to choose. There is extra credit. Practicals are write in and you have to spell the words correctly or you don't get it right. Good Luck!

DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT take this class if you can avoid it. Like literally by all means. Take it at Southern Union over the summer or SOMETHING. You will either fail or barely pass this class.

She is the worst professor I have had during my time here. She is extremely hard to get in contact with. I emailed her in August a never recieved a responce. The workload for this class is so much for a 1 hr credit course. The practical exams are VERY hard. In class quizzes are horrible. Averages were 2/11 or 3/8 typically. AVOID HER!! Don't do it!

I took Linda for both A&P 1 and 2 labs, and ended with over a 100 both times. These labs are inherently tough classes with fill in the blank practicals and hundreds of terms to memorize, but I think I could've made the same grade in both labs whether I went or not, as I ended up teaching myself the material due to the lack of instruction in lab.

She is the worst professor I have had during my time here. She is extremely hard to contact. I emailed her in August and never received a response. The workload for this class is so much for a one-hour credit course. The practical exams are VERY hard. The in-class quizzes are horrible. Averages were 2/11 or 3/8 typically. AVOID HER!! Don't do it!

My GTAs were amazing, but she was not. I was sick and had a family emergency, and she was hard to reschedule the lab with, and she expected me to skip other classes for hers. She was rarely reachable and just lacked empathy. The class was organized well and was fun with good peers and GTAs. How is she in charge of grades when we've never met her?

The work load for a ONE CREDIT HOUR CLASS is genuinely laughable. The homework takes hours to do and it isn't even really that helpful it is mostly busy work. The practical's are insane. I get this class is difficult anywhere you go, but making it so time consuming makes it unbearable. If you can, take this course somewhere else for your sanity.

Course is disorganized and confusingly formatted. The Canvas page is difficult to navigate, making it hard to find important information. The amount of busy work involved in this one-hour course is over-demanding, and often does not contribute to learning or retaining information. Pastorello is the only coordinator for anatomy, but it is doable.

Genuinely the most work for any class ive ever taken. Multiple times harder than the lecture for the same course, she expects around 60-100 in-depth fill in the blank questions worth of homework every week. You have to either cheat or self-teach all the content as it is weeks ahead of the lecture. Overall worst class experience ive ever had.

Don't take if you have a choice.

This is the epitome of a professor that should never teach. Bright individual, but brutal quizzes and poorly graded practicums. Don't let this class determine your future, you can still have a wonderful career and hate this course.
