Although the material in this class is challenging, Dr. Howell presents it in an easy-to-understand way. Lectures are interesting and somehow she's able to squeeze some fun and humor into everything. When you finish with the class, you walk out knowing so much that you consciously believe you have improved your own neuroplasticity.

Dr. Howell is the best professor at Sante Fe Community College. If you simply come to class and listen to what she says you will do well. She did much more than I would have expected for test preparation and really made the class fun and interesting. I wish I could take more classes under the direction of Dr. Howell.

Loved her teaching style. She makes you print notes out that you fill in for each lecture and then she tests from these notes. You don't need the book. She also reviews the class before tests and basically tells you what is on her tests. The final was actually a little tricky, but keep up an A on the first three tests and you'll be set.

Dr. Howell is a great teacher but she teached in depth, and you MUST memorize every bit of it. Her study guide helps, but she makes you highlight every word on it which makes it even harder to study. Near the end of the course she was supposed to let me make up missed work and refused.. Shes also bad with emailing back. I failed because of that..

Great teacher, hard subject. Howell made a notebook for us with all the info you need to pass her class and the departmental final. The textbook is good for supplemental information and diagrams. DO NOT take this class while taking other core classes, take it with electives instead. Only 5 of 60 kids have an A. And she's the easiest instructor.

She is a great prof that cares about her students and caters to all learning types. Her teaching style seemed weird at first but I soon learned that she exposes you to new material in lab and forces you to get background knowledge so that in lecture you can learn a lot better. Tests are straightforward and she gives GREAT study guides.

Dr. Howell is a professor who knows Anatomy. She knows her stuff but is difficult and EXTREMELY judgmental. If she doesn't like you from the beginning, good luck trying to talk to her, she won't care. You will have 5 exams, lab midterm & final, lecture final, and quizzes for lab and lecture.

First of all, I clicked "yes" for the use of a textbook but, let it be said that it's not a textbook. It's a workbook that she made herself for her class that condenses everything you need to know. In short, it's perfect. Her classes are a "let's sit in a circle and find out what you know and talk about what you don't know."

Great professor, I had her last semester. Lectures were informative and funny. She has a unique way of helping you memorize things. The pop quizzes are for extra credit and to help with memorizing the material. There was five unit test and she drops the lowest one if you follow her criteria for it. Attendance does matters.

Dr. Howell is a fantastic anatomy professor that has lots of medical knowledge. She utilizes her own lectures so you will need to purchase her notebook and lab manual. She provides study guides for exams. Her exams are not insanely difficult. However, this class does have hard material so you will need to study regardless of professor.
