TOUGH!!! IF (and that's a BIG if) you are able to pass her class with a B or better, rest assured you will be an EXPERT in the field of anatomy. Excellent teacher who teaches her students how to be excellent learners!!

Professor Woolsey is very helpful and tries to make the material easy to understand. She is very easy-going and cheerful.

she is very knowledgable, and very hard. I do not have anything negative about her way of teaching. She prepares the student for post graduate schools and the real world of medicin. If you pass her class with a good gread A or B, then you know that you are really a hard core estudie

She knows the material well. She is helpful too. But her Lab Tests are generally hard. You have to really study hard in her class. But she will prepare you for the science field, especially Nursing.

Inspirational teacher. Expert in her field, smiles all the time, very demanding, very helpful. You'll learn more than you want, but it ends up being helpful in later nursing classes. She does daily quizzes, but it forces you to keep up, rewards you for attendance, and helps dilute the weight of lecture exams. Don't take this class with Chem 306.

If you're a friggin' genius, then you should have no trouble at all in this class.

If you study for her tests then you will do fine, all you have to do is study what she gives you in class. The lab tests are not bad if you study, but the lecture exams are pretty hard. She is a good teacher though.

She is hard but she is the best. At least she does not lose your papers. I toke biology 430 with Dr Woosley. Because, she was hard I toke Biol 431 with other teacher. But, my biol 431 teacher lost some of my papers. So, I did not get any grade for some thing that I finished. In my opinion, Dr Woosley is the best Biology teacher.

She is a good teacher, as long as you study the notes and lab syllabus you will do okay. To get an A you have to work really really hard.

She knows EVERYTHING about the human body and makes it seem like it's simple. This is not an easy class but I will take her for 431 as well. The notes she gives you (which are abundant) are all she will test you on.

If you are serious about learning and want a great teacher, take Woolsey's class. I can't believe some of the other reviews that complain she is so difficult. This isn't high school anymore...suck it up and actually put some effort into school. A&P is an inherently hard subject, that is why you should learn from one of the best.

She is a wonderful person however a hard teacher. I took her for 430 and I am taking a different teacher for 431 and have realized that her teaching style is very auditory, Listen carefully and get a recorder! She knows her stuff however if you are not able to learn from a lecture you will struggle. Read all the exam questions carefully.

She is very organized and helpful teacher. She also explains the concepts very well but it's up to you to go over the material more often. All the questions on her tests are from her lectures so pay attention even a joke can be a question in her test. Tests are hard if you don't study DUHH its A&P. She does mark you off if you mis-spell. Take her she is AWSOME :)

I have heard that NURSING classes are 10 (or even more) times harder than Dr Woosley’s biology 430 and 431 classes. So if you want to be a nurse please take her class and make yourself ready for the nursing courses. Nurses need to save people’s life, right? How they want to be a critical thinkers when they cannot learn the basic anatomy and physiol

I completely disagree with what other people are saying about this teacher. I took her in fall 07 and really liked her as a teacher. Yes she is hard but the subject is a lot harder!! She offers tons of extra cred. I managed to get an A in her class and so can anyone else. She is fair and organized. Just be focused and STUDY STUDY STUDY HARD.

She is a very very intelligent professor, she knows her stuff but it will also take hard work for your part to get a good grade in this class and understand the material. I actually enjoyed her class because she actually challenged me.

Wonderful teacher! Fair, organized, knows her stuff inside and out, quizzes almost daily, hands out lecture notes and lab notes, uses study guide and practice exams, no blackboard, very little email correspondence. Study, study and you will do fine!

Professor was hard. Had quizzes almost daily and not much lab work at all. Lectures the whole class period almost. If you stay ontop of your work and quizzes and manage to do ok on your tests you should do ok. but STUDY! STUDY! if you want a good grade!!

This professor rocks! She is extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and interested in truly teaching!

WOW! let me just say im happy this class is over!!! i had marcie for both 430 and 431, i got a B both semesters but i worked so hard! dont plan on taking the class if you dont have time! test are VERY hard! Lab quizes you either know it or you dont! She prepares you for the nursing program! cares for her students! she is my favorite teacher so far!

wow im just glad this class is over!! she is a wonderful teacher!--but very hard!!! if you dont have time to study dont bother taking the class! she prepares you for what the nursing program will be like! she cares for her students, and offers over 1000 points in the class so even if you dont do well on test you can still get a good grade

This class is hard regardless of the professor. Marcie is awesome. Great teacher, great person. I am definitly taking her for 430. She hands out packets with all of the lecture notes for every single unit...VERY HELPFUL.HARD CLASS but great teacher!

PhD level A&P Prof. who used to teach to medical students. Demands that you know A&P. If you are willing to do the work there is rarely a questions about a&P she can not answer, and will go out of her way to help if you ask. Excited about the material, but expect a long wait for bathroom breaks.

Loved her!! Everyone told me she was SO HARD but really, sh'es alright. My life didn't have to revolve around this class to get a good grade, like with some other bio profs. She is very knowlegeble. I think her class is easy because of the way she explains the information. She makes it stick in your head with her examples. She's great!!

Great teacher, always appy and smiling, brightened my days! A wonderdul teacher full of knowledge and she just wants to help her studenst understand! I would definitely take her again. Go Woolsey!!! Loved her class! Definitely take her for A&P. The people who say she's really hard, they just want to pass without doing anything. She's great!

Dr. Woolsey is AMAZING. She is brilliant and she wants all her students to do well. If you pay attention in class and go to every class you do not have to read the book to get an A in her class. She gives your lecture handouts and just add to her notes and you will do fine. She offers a lot of extra credit. Best teacher I've ever had!! A+++

Great professor! She's VERY tough and definitely doesnt teach at an entry level, you really have to study hard and stay on top of lectures or its easy to fall behind. However, she offers a lot of extra credit and is VERY good at answering questions. Very tough professor, but would definitely recommend her.She taught me how really study for a class!

Great prof! Tries to make a difficult subject as easy as possible. she's amazing!

For anyone who says she's a hard teacher, why did you take this class then? A&P is supposed to be a hard class. Professor Woolsey is such a nice lady and you can tell she really loves the subject she teaches. Just keep up with the textbook reading and you will get A's on your exams. Use the online resources as well! Like practice quizzes, etc.

Dr Woolsey is an excellent professor, took her 431 class Fall 2010 and her stories are hilarious. She is very helpful and will take the time to help you understand, she can be hard to follow but if you record lectures and listen to them or write them out you should be able to get an A or high B in her class. I just wished I had taken her for 430 a

Professor Woolsey is an AWESOME teacher. She is only has hard as she is on students to MAKE them learn. She is extremely smart and knows her stuff. I would never have chosen another A&P teacher over her. If you want to learn something and your willing to do the work, take her!

This teacher is fantastic. Take good notes, and learn them. Use flash cards on everything, know the material and you will get an A. She tells you exactly what your going to get tested on. If you cant get an A in this class you don't belong in healthcare. It only gets harder folks.

Lectures fast paced,reading before lec is VERY helpful. Hands out packet-like notes that are condense version of lec. Literally draws out lectures, so take picture with phone so that one can focus on what she's saying. Requires more than memorization skills...crit thinking!!! Tests reflect this. Extra credit available. always willing to help!

Professor Woolsey is hard, but that is the nature of the subject. She has her doctorate in Philology so she can get crazy detailed, but her tests are less detailed than her lectures. She gives out note packets for every unit, and each packet has an old test ext. She is hard, and she knows it, but you have plenty of chances to pass with a good grade

Not only is she very knowledgeable about the subject, but very helpful as well. She gives out packets of lecture notes which are then used for the exams. The material is extensive, but if your career involves this subject, it should be a breeze.

Dr. Woolsey is an incredible professor. She knows the material and can convey it in a manner that any student should understand. This course is not intended to be easy but if you're taking this class you wouldn't expect it to be. I highly recommend Dr. Woolsey to anyone needing anything she is teaching.

Do you want to understand A&P and be able to know the WHY behind the WHAT? Take Professor Woolsey, but you WILL have to work for the A. Want an easy A but not really learn anything? Then you want Won. Woolsey's class has made nursing school at CSUS so much easier, or at least it s for me compared to my peers. Take her if you want to LEARN!

Marcie is amazing! Definitely knows her stuff. But this class is HARD. Her lecture exams test your knowledge extensively. Lab is mainly identification but she likes to throw function in there. Be prepared to study EVERY DAY. 4 lecture and 4 lab exams and 1 non-cumulative final, 10 lab quizzes and LOTS of online hw and quizzes nearly every week.

Dr. Woolsey knows her stuff. She is the hardest instructor I have ever taken but well worth the hard work. Form a study group and put in the time. She is very helpful and cares for the students. I would not take any other difficult or time consuming class while taking this instructor. Will take her for other Biology classes if I can.

excellent professor. a tons of extra credits (100 points out of 1700 totals). she curved too. Easy A

SHE GETS U READY FOR NURSING SCHOOL (OR, MED SCHOOL ETC....). AND, THATS ALL THAT MATTERS,,,

Biology is not easy! Don't expect an easy A. She is clear and straight forward. Gives out power point print outs and lab pakets. Its A LOT OF STUDY MATERIAL! She goes above and beyond to make sure students understand concept. Allows questions and discussion. *What really helped me was reading the book and material on d2l prior to lecture.

I had her for 431 and I wish I would have had her for 430! She gives plenty of extra credit and online quizes, which she keeps open for a week and allows you to take multiple times! Plenty of practice material and study notes given to you! Practice identifications online! A&P is a difficult subject, Woolsey does her best to help you understand!

Dr. Woolsey is one of the best. She knows A&P and is gifted with the ability to make it interesting. Her class material is very well laid out and she has lots of materials to make taking notes and studying easier. She will help you to be well prepared for your career in the medical field.

Woolsey Bio431 Spring13 on youtube, her lectures are there. Watch them BEFORE class. Record your own, and follow along. ALL of the information you need to know, she will say it during lecture. Study, and ask questions. She prepares you for the healthcare field. She makes the material understandable. Wish I had her for 430 too. Extra Credit- do it!

Currently in Nursing school in an ABSN program and I am SO thankful I had Woolsey for AP. Don't be scared to take her and work hard in her class. Strive for that A and put in the work, as a nursing student you will be THANKFUL. Prepare for class by reviewing prior to her lecture. Her lectures are on Youtube, listen before you go! She's awesome!

Best bio professor ever. There is 5 lec and lab exams. Online quizzes every week. Online lab reports. She offers plenty of extra credit throughout semester. And opens up online weekly quizzes at the end of semester for second attempt. She also offer optional comprehensive final exam and switch its grade with lowest lec exam.

This class was extremely hard at first but once you get the hang of how Professor Woosley runs her class, it'll be smooth. Her lectures are prerecorded. No homework but TONS of quizzes. She is a smart doctor and knows her stuff. She offers extra credits. If you watch her lecture videos and take notes, you'll do fine.

Dr. Woolsey is one of the greatest professors I have had at ARC. She is very passionate about teaching and has a lot of real life experience. Her exams are based heavily on the lecture videos, so the books aren't needed unless you need more information about a topic. I had some medical concerns during the semester and she was very accommodating.

Get ready to study like you have never studied before. Everything she says matters in the lectures and be prepared to see it on tests! I was struggling to keep up towards the end due to the overload of material. I learned a lot from her and am thankful. I am glad I did not drop and rode it out.
