I dont know if all of the information here in "Rate My Professor" are right. My GPA is 3.9 and I have 12 A's, 2 B's and no C, D, F, W. I study 14hrs during weekend and take 9 Units instead of taking 12 Units to be a full time student just to focus on her class. I was disappointed, and I still failed her class. If you are an Asian, I don't recommend her. She speak very fast, and she is not talking loud in the class. The instructions in the laboratory are pretty complicated due to the speedness and clearness of her speech. Imagine can you able to comprehend an information going to your brain, if the teacher talks very fast and soft. Assignments: You need to study everyday. Extra Credits: She gave us a lot of activities such as 10-15 pages of coloring in every chapter (One extra point only in our exams), 20 pages of index card assignments in each chapter (One extra point in our quizzes). Extra point means if your score in your quiz or exam is 21. Extra point is she will add an additional point and get 22. Quizzes: Pattern of her quiz is complicated. I swear to God, I am trying my best to get an A to her class. Unfortunately, I was disappointed the way she gave us quizzes and exams. I am expecting that she would give us a multiple choice question istead she gave us a confusing matching type question using our scantron. Example istead of choosing A-Z you are choosing A, B, C, D, E, AB, AC, AD, AE, BA, BC, BD, ABE, ACA, ACB, ACD, ACE, and so forth. Imagine how long does it take to shade each box for 10mins plus we need to read all of the questions. We need to finish her quizzes in 10mins and it compose of matching type of 20 Items. Then I am not comfortable the way she give us quizzes. She will do the lecture first then after our lecture class she will give us our quiz. Istead of giving us a quiz first then focus on the next topic. Anatomy is very easy A class. She just make Anatomy complicated by giving us a hard time in the class. I might be wrong but I was disappointed in depending in Rate My Professor and I also found out that her dropping rate is extremely high. She required everyone to have the "Essential of Human Anatomy and Physiology Lecture Book", "Essential of Human Anatomy and Physiology Laboratory Manual", "The Anatomy Coloring Book", and her "Anatomy and Physiology Outline Book." I wasted $250 in this class plus we also need to buy the dissection kit, color pencil, and index card. Then I just failed her class. I want to cry but its already there.

If you have a problem with the format of her quizzes, you have problems PERIOD. The quiz is a 20 question matching. Obviously there aren't 20 letters on the scantron.

I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PROFESSOR FOR PHYSIOLOGY unless you're into a lecture of just here talking away for 4 hours WITHOUT ANY IMAGES ON YOUR NOTES. her notes were written be her, she abbreviates words and expects you to remember them along the lecture.

Pretty horrible teacher. Lectures were boring and uninteresting. Teacher would get mad when asked any questions during lecture. Read off power points she would often get wrong herself if somebody did not check her. Some teachers get to that point where they become lackadaisical in they're teaching. Look elsewhere for an anatomy teacher.

I had a slight advantage because I already knew so much physiology, so those parts were simple for me. But I spent A LOT of time outside class for anatomy practice. It's a lot. As long as you study the sheets she gives you, you'll be fine. Write down everything she says even if its not on the outline. It will most likely show up on the test.

She gives a lot of extra credit and I thought she was fair with grading and tests. It's not an easy class but it's possible to get an A if you put in the extra hours to study and learn the material. Show up to class, go over her lecture notes until you've memorized them, and do extra credit. Youtube videos helped me study/memorize outside of class.

She is one of my favorite professors at El Co. I took A&P 34 A and B with her. She gives very descriptive and thorough lecture notes. I am currently in nursing school and still reference her notes when I need to refresh on anatomy or physiology. A&P is a tough subject. Be prepared to work hard. Steinberg makes to doable with easy extra credit.

Her quizzes are weird and theyll throw you off.. She was not helpful and only cared about finishing her lecture not the students success. I would not suggest this professor! Take at your own risk.

Professor Steinberg did an okay job lecturing. She always covered all the material and gave us a lot of time with the models in order to prepare for the upcoming tests and practicals. It was hard to follow along with the information, though, as it was not made very interesting. You have to work harder to focus and work even harder outside of class.

Professor Steinberg has been teaching for so long it reflects her teaching styles. seems like she has not updated any of her lectures. lab is fun, lecture is not. get ready to breathe and sleep physio. if you want to pass her class. if you have kids work or can't handle long hours of study, do yourself a favor and find another instructor.

Prof. Steinberg is a kind and caring individual. Her lecture is a bit on the boring side, but if you pay attention during class and study you will surely pass. She also gives a lot of extra credit. Her class is hard enough as it is because of all the information, but the extra credit really helps. If you don't have time to study, don't take her.

This was by far the hardest class Ive ever taken. Do not expect an easy A. Her tests are super in depth and very very difficult, but if you study for them, they really help you digest the information. Shes very nice and willing to help if you ask. Use all your extra credit opportunities, she provides lots. And show up to class!

Do not take her if you are taking Physio for the first time. Her lectures put me to sleep and she lectures even after exams which are 100 questions each. Thats right! She has 200 questions for lecture and lab exams total and she still lectures after them. She is a nice lady but her teaching style is outdated and it seems like she doesn't care.

Overall, Prof Steinberg is a nice a lady and I can tell she cares, but I never had to drop a class until I took this one. The subject is hard itself, but her teaching style didn't really make it easier. I do not recommend taking this class PERIODT..

I LOVE Prof. Steinberg - best professor ever. Definitely participate, ask questions and take lots of pics of diagrams if you want to pass. 5x 100 MC exams + walk-around labs (include lab hw) + EC opps. She gives an extra 10 points for showing up to class every day too. MAKE SURE YOU READ AND STUDY. Take her, study, and enjoy - it'll pay off.

This class had tons of lectures and lab assignments to help you accumulate points. I consider myself an above average student but it's still a challenging course so effort and time management is crucial. Fortunately, she offers lots of extra credit so if you're willing to put in the work you can pass the class with some ease!

This teacher doesnt allow study groups, she doesnt teach and expects you to learn the material yourself without any guidance. You just do notes from the PowerPoints and thats all. Do not take this class for Physiology.

Excessive amount of assignments. At one point something was due every day of the week except one. No amount of time management will prepare you for this class. This is the most difficult course I have ever taken. The study guide she provided was essentially every lecture and lab we had. The study guide should have just said "everything."

I am a diligent student with a 3.7 GPA so far, I am sure she is an awesome teacher in a classroom setting but online it was a nightmare. She overloaded student with work and was a horrible grader. The exams were 1 minute per question. She used different definitions on exams (what I hated)and the study guides were irrelevant they were not precise

Not only does she assign a crap ton of work, but she also doesn't open things up ahead of time and makes assignments due each day of the week. Her quizzes are also way more in depth than her 'PowerPoints' which she just posts each week with no supplemental help. A toddler could run her online "class".

Never wrote a review for a professor until now. This professor is nice but the amount of material she assigns to do is a lot. There is a lot of homework that you have to complete each week on top of studying for a quiz each week. Her tests do not correlate with the lecture study guides she gives and makes it difficult to study. Don't take her!

Terrible and I mean terrible professor!! Her tests/quizzes do not correlate to any of the work she gives. She clearly doesnt understand how to run or unable to adapt to teaching an online class. Please save yourself the trouble and stay away from her classes. If you want to learn anything its best to find a different professor.

By far the worst online class Ive taken. The homework she assigns is busy work (3hrs of hw) & you dont learn much from it. She gives credit based on if you get every single question correctly so youre forced to get it right without giving you the chance to learn anything. She offers extra cred but the amount of work you need to do is extreme.

What makes this class tough, is that she does not do lectures. She posts her PowerPoint slides and calls them lectures. But she never explains them and there isnt opportunity to go over material. The lab portion of the class is in-person, so she goes over that, but the majority of the lab is filling out worksheets. She doesnt teach.
