Very good Professor for an online course, reaches out to students and replies fast. Wants her students to succeed. Would take again.
Prof Rice makes this class extremely easy. Anatomy 2 isn't an easy course especially when online but she made it well worth it. She gave study guides for every exam and even held reviews right before exams. She is super organized and has calenders for each month so you know what to expect. Definitely recommend!
Provides all the materials in order to do well in the class. Responds quick to emails/questions. Wants students to succeed and provides very helpful exam reviews. I was able to do well on all the exams with working a full time job by reviewing all the material. Gives extra credit opportunities. Very flexible online class.
This professor is great, I took her for online and a&p 2 is already hard, but she made her instructions very clear and easy to understand and provides a study guide for each test with a power point of all the answers to certain anatomy. Very sweet and always answers her emails quickly, would definitely take her again.
Professor Rice made taking this class online easier than it would have been. She gives a calendar of when everything is expected to be turned in as well as live exam reviews before every test to prepare you for success.
A&P2 is a tough class, but Professor Rice makes it manageable and sets her students up for success. She has chapter summaries and study guides posted which I found very helpful. She also does exam reviews through zoom which helped me a lot on the exams. Definitely take her class!
If you are looking for a professor to take anatomy and physiology II with, look no further. Rice is organized and provides great resources for her students. She is kind and gives a thorough review of subject material before every exam to best prepare students. She replies fast to emails and is understanding. Put in the work, and you'll be fine!
Just be vigilant. She has everything you need to succeed. You just need to put in the work.
Course work was heavy at first, but light the last month. Most online profs record lectures, but she provided typed summary of units. Calendar is fluid, she will give updated due dates in weekly emails, so do not skip even if you think your work is UTD. Lecture reviews for tests really help. A&P2 is departmental so difficult no matter who you take
Professor Rice was a really great professor for A&P 2. The class itself is challenging but Professor Rice is very organized and very helpful which made the tough class much more manageable. The materials provided to you are very helpful in making you successful in this course as well. You can tell that she really wants her students to succeed.
This class is easy if you study and keep up with your work. Shes easy to communicate with if you dont wait until last minute. Also, if youre taking her class online, remember that participation matters so try to make it to those zoom lessons. Also, dont make the same mistake I did and not do the chapter notes. they are important.
She is very available if you need help with an assignment or understanding a concept. There are participation projects and group projects. Keep on top of lab manual. ATTEND THE ZOOM REVIEWS they are worth their weight in gold.
Awesome class! Participation is a must in chapter notes and the online zoom test reviews. ATTEND ALL TEST REVIEWS, you will be thankful :) Multiple opportunities for extra credit and also a course calendar that hardly fluctuates so it makes it easy to schedule around your daily life. Anyone who failed simply did not put in the effort. TAKE HER!
Professor Rice is an amazing instructor and wants you to succeed. Attend her zoom reviews, they are super helpful for the upcoming test! She offers a ton of extra credit. She is very responsive and caring. She is very flexible with your schedule. Her workload is very manageable with other classes. I wish I can take her for all my classes!!
Professor Rice is one of the best professors I have taken at Santa Fe. She is so caring and wants you to succeed. Her workload is very manageable as it is not a lot. Her study guide and materials are exactly what is on the test. You will succeed in the class as long as you study and try. I wish I can have her for all my classes. She is awesome,
Take her
Clear cut and concise, she is open minded and willing to listen to your concerns and make changes if needed. Class lectures are everything, she gives you what you need to succeed. A&P II is about each compartment of the body so be ready to dive in, get some new knowledge or freshen up on some old skills!
Professor Rice is a very organized, in the beginning she lets you know how the course is set up. She gives you a calendar of all the due dates and assignments that are expected to be graded. She does reviews before every exam, which is very helpful. This course isn't easy but it not hard if you put in your effort to learn and participate.
I would highly recommend taking A&P 2 with Professor Rice. She really does a great job at helping you pace through the online course content. Keep in mind that you should read the textbook and powerpoints to be well prepared for exams. As long as you don't procrastinate, you will be just fine in her class. She is very enthusiastic and nice.
Professor Rice presented one of the more difficult classes I've ever taken, partly due to the denseness of the material. However, if you want to thoroughly know the material, take her class. She provides every opportunity, resource, and assignment to fully succeed, including comprehensive exam reviews. Do every assignment! I highly recommend.
This whole course was online, but the materials provided made it easy to know what is on exams, and the group work on notes is super helpful! Professor Rice was very informative and I highly suggest attending the zoom reviews before exams! The class can be hard if you dont do the readings, but as long as you pace yourself you will do great.
Would NOT take again. Be a professor. Show up for your students. Online classes are online for a reason. She seems to lack understanding of how peoples lives work. Only cares about her schedule.
Professor Rice was definitely one of my better professors at Santa Fe. She made it clear what you needed to know and study, she provided reviews and cares about her students. As long as you put in your half of the work you will make decent grades in her class. This is a hard course l, but Professor Rice made this semester much easier.
Gives good overall outlines and notes as well as study resources. Made what would have been a hard course easier to stay on track.
This was a tough class but Professor Rice provides a lot of material to aid in understanding and learning the material. She also responds to student emails in a timely manner. Her exam reviews are great. The only downside is that this is ultimately a self guided course so no video lectures are posted.
Pretty good professor, be prepared to study hard and keep yourself organized. You will also have to get involved in group activities such as study guides.
Professor Rice's A&P online course is one that you have to be on top of studying and space material out accordingly. The powerpoints helped me tremendously because majority of the information we need to learn are on there. Her teaching style is best for students who are more academically independent and do not like a ton of homework.
Professor Rice wants you to succeed and gives great reviews before the exam. The online course is pretty much self guided so if that is not your type of thing you may struggle. Professor Rice was very accesible via email and office hours though.
Overall Mary Rice was a great teacher. She is very understanding that we also have obligations outside of school. I love how her canvas is very organized and clear compared to other online courses i've taken in the past. PLEASE do the Low Grade replacement. I regret not doing is so much as it could of completely saved my grade.
Professor Rice is a great professor and provides clear expectations of what you need to do to be successful in the course. The course is self-taught but there are extra zoom reviews prior to the exams that were helpful. If you prefer to learn through lectures or recorded lectures, I do not recommend her. Most people do okay if look over the slides.
Overall good professor, clear criteria for how your grade is achieved. Up to you to put in the time to study, keep yourself organized and ensure your success in the class. Be ready to participate in group activities as there are a few even though it's online.
Zoom test review a couple days before each exam is really helpful. She uploads them to Canvas, and the material covers everything you're tested on. She cares that you understand the material and pass. Great professor.
Professor Rice expects a lot out of her students, but that's good because you learn. Her tests are intense, very specific and there's like 8 answers to choose from. However, you will definitely learn from her if you keep up with the calendar she provides. Tough grader and doesn't take any excuses, but I needed that to actually learn from this class
Professor Rice is a focused and helpful professor. All the material was made and assigned to help each of her students pass the course. My favorite part of professor Rice's teaching was that she would always hold test reviews on zoom and that the material on her study guides was actually on the tests. This was something special for an online course
This professor is really kind and caring and really wants you to succeed. She pushes you to do your best and really wants you to be able to understand and apply the knowledge that you learn throughout the course. Overall it was and amazing class!
Professor Rice was great! I was able to really understand the material and do better than I thought in the class. I had taken this course previously with a different professor and did not pass the class, but professor Rice provided many resources in order for you to do well. She gives extra credit! Great professor would love to take her again!
Prof. Rice Is a good teacher. She is fairly responsive in her emails. She also goes above and beyond with helping students understand content in terms of Zoom reviews and creating note summaries. There are also study guides for each test. There are also extra credit opportunities.
Professor Rice was excellent and the zoom exam reviews were super helpful!
Professor Rice was very clear on how the course was going to be laid out. 100% would take it again. It was an online class however there were live zoom review to help you prepare for exams. Super respectful and caring.
Overall take notes and attend the live exam review .
Professor Rice is super nice and caring. She is very clear about what to expect in her class and provides helpful exam reviews. While A&P 2 was a very challenging subject for me to learn online, she was a great professor!
Overall, this class was much less dense than BSC2085. However, you'll need to not only study the PowerPoints but also her chapter summaries. She provides extra credit opportunities throughout the semester, which helps at the end. I would highly recommend taking his course with Dr. Rice as the exams are fair, you just have to study hard.
Professor Rice was amazing. She really goes above and beyond for her students. She offers live exam reviews that are very helpful for the tests. There are also extra credit opportunities and exam study guides. I would definitely take her again!
Professor Rice is a teacher who cares about her student's success. She provides extra credit opportunities, test reviews, and study guides. This is a difficult class so be prepared to study, read the notes, and stay on schedule. Professor Rice expects her students to know the material and does what she can to promote success in the class.
This class is easy if you stay up to date on the schedule. Reading the textbook would help you a lot but I was able to do ok in the class with just the powerpoints and attending the exam reviews. Overall a good professor would take again.
Collaborations on notes were very confusing as they are split up and it does not always let you access the documents but she is overall a great professor who cares about her students and wants them to succeed! YOU MUST GIVE LOTS OF TIME TO THIS COURSE
Professor Rice was definitely one of my favorite professors so far! She maps out everything for you in a calendar to follow. She sends out weekly reminders about what is due that week. I 100% would take one of her classes again.
Professor Rice does a great job of telling you what is due when. She offers extra credit and does Zoom exam reviews. Very heavy on required reading and her powerpoints were not enough information to help complete the lab exams. I used some outside video resources to fill in the gaps.
This class was very straight forward of what is expected, Professor Rice sends out many emails of what is due in the upcoming weeks. Participation matters heavily in this course, and it shows in your grade. Provides many live reviews and extra credit available, these were helpful since this course is a lot of learning by yourself.
It was a difficult class; however, the professor was clear what she expected. She would do reviews before every test and provided study guides.
She is very straight forward and her live exam reviews helped to prepare you for the tests. She offered extra credit which helped the grades. However, she seemed very preoccupied with other things outside of class, she did not spend any time explaining anything instead, she would just post material that sometimes would.t even be on the tests.
Great professor for A&P 2 I enjoyed the zoom reviews before exams, quizzes and reviews are very similar to test questions. Lots of extra credit. If you use your resources and put in effort you will be successful.
Professor Rice is the best Anatomy & Physiology course. She provides you with a semester calendar that is super helpful to keep track of when assignments are due. She also does review lectures before exams which not only count for participation in the class but are very helpful. As of now I have an A in the course but have not taken finals yet.
Professor Rice was very helpful throughout this difficult course. She was quick to respond to emails, and her zoom reviews help prepare you for the exams. Be prepared to study if you want to pass the exams, but she provides PowerPoints and summaries to cover the material. This was a very challenging subject, but I would take her course again.
Professor Rice is very straight forward with what she expects of the class. She gives extra credit assignments which is a nice touch. The week of each unit test she does an hour long zoom call asking us questions to make sure we are prepared. She does not act like she is better than her students and explains things in a real life way.
Professor Rice was very straightforward and professional. The course was set up clearly and was easy to understand. Professor Rice is always extremely helpful. Be ready to study, this is an intense course and your grade depends on it. I would definitely recommend this course!
Considering the class is Anatomy 2 (a very tough class), the professor LITERALLY. could have not made the class any easier, there was practically no hw, some quizzes every other week, and an exam every month, yes they were tough but if you studied ahead of time it was no challenge. This class was truly a piece of cake. take online!!!! trust.
good prof, would recommend 9/10
Pros: no hw, quizzes with two attempts every other week, exams about once a month, notes were shared and split between classmates, zoom meeting // study guide before each exam -> prof made the class super passable, like if you don't pass its because you didn't try Cons: honestly none, 5/5 would recommend her online course
No homework , extra credit available , 2 attempts on quizzes . Anatomy is definitely not easy but Professor Rice tries her best to make sure you understand the material. I would definitely recommend the zoom test reviews , not only is it for extra credit but test questions are also in there. If I had to take her again I would.
Test are difficult especially during a flex semester. Be prepared to STUDY! Otherwise, assignments and quizzes are nicely spaced out.
Professor Rice is very organized and clearly wants to help her students succeed.
Professor is organized and clearly wants to help her students succeed.
There's not much study material so a lot is up to you to study but she's a great professor
Not many study resources, a lot is up to you
Zoom reviews and quizzes are a must to pass the exams. Time and effort is highly recommended. You get what you put in.
I took professor Rice's online anatomy 2 class and she was very kind and understanding and offered lots of additional help and extra credit opportunities.
In this class I felt like there was good communication with the class and the teacher. I liked how the notes were set up. The reviews were very useful when it came to test. I also felt like I had a good comprehension of everything in the class.
Great professor! Would definitely take it again. She cares for her students and wants them to succeed. She does extra credit which is very helpful and does test reviews before each test. Highly recommend this professor!
Well-organized and all the resources are provided to pass. Be comfortable learning the material on your own, since there's no lecture videos but she's always available for questions/concerns. It's not a super hard class - just know which study habits work best for you, stay on top of chapter/lab quizzes and take advantage of the course materials!
Professor Rice was very straightforward and made assignments clear and easy to understand. There wasn't an overwhelming amount of work, and there is plenty of opportunities to receive extra credit. She does very helpful exam reviews via zoom and as long as you keep up with your work you will do fine in her class.
So this is a hard class to begin with, HOWEVER professor rice makes expectations clear.
Very good professor, although all online be prepared for live review sessions that are graded.
Professor Rice had high expectations for her online BSC2086 class. She provided an itinerary, great resources (like worksheets), weekly updates and Zoom Reviews to help the students stay on track and informed. She was quick to respond to questions via email. No science class is easy, but it is nice to have a good, supporting professor.
You will work together on notes for the class as well as there are mandatory live review sessions on zoom.
Clear expectations, supplies a schedule at the beginning of the Semester that she sticks to. Not an overwhelming amount of homework. You are on your own to learn (is an online course) Mock quizzes are available to extra study which really helps. Did supply weekly emails of what is to come that week to help you keep on track.
She was very helpful and nice! I will say the exams were HARD! I think it may have been my own test anxiety but no matter how much I studied, the exams were the only reason I did not finish the class with a better grade. I highly recommend her despite the exams as she is a very well-organized and attentive professor. Be ready to study all details!
Professor Rice makes AP2 very manageable for those who work or are not on campus. There are weekly "to do" emails and deadlines and assignments are always given ample time to complete. Quizzes and Tests are knowledge checks without being unreasonable.
Professor Rice was an awesome teacher. She set the expectations for the course at the very beginning. The course was more difficult just because it was shortened, but she provides mock quizzes and live exam reviews that help you study for each exam. You just have to stay on track and study every single day.

Straight forward. Shes very clear in the beginning about what she expects during the semester. Live exam reviews are very helpful. Gives extra credit. Only thing I didn't like was the mandatory participation grade for note taking. Unnecessary busy work for students working fulltime. Especially if you know a lot of the content in some chapters.
Professor Rice was awesome. She set the expectations for the course from the very beginning. The course was a bit more difficult just because it is shortened, but she provides mock quizzes and live exam reviews that help you study for the exams. You just have to stay on track and study every day.
Gives good live Zoom Reviews that are extremely helpful. Available to meet for office hours. Clear and easy to understand notes and PP's. Not a lot of homework which is nice if you work fulltime.
Gives extra credit opportunities occassionally and very willing to help during office hours. The participation grades for note-taking I found to be unnecessary and time-consuming, but other than that, decent class!
Professor Rice is amazing! She sets very clear and reasonable expectations right from the start. Probably one of the best structured online courses I have taken so far. She makes it very feasable for someone who also works full time. Her Zoom reviews before exams are super helpful. Loved this class!
Going over syllabus, she made it v clear that her coaching took precedence over all, ghosted our class the minus test reviews. Said we were expected to check in every single day, but would not answer emails for days on end. Got defensive when many inconsistencies on calendar were noted. Gives extra credit for positive reviews on here
Taking a class like this online is challenging. Professor Rice was extremely helpful throughout the entire course. She definitely wants all of her students to pass. She gives a lot of extra credit options to try to help people keep up their grades. She does reviews before exams to help you study. I really recommend her for this course.
There are a lot of different materials provided for the quizzes and course. Mostly reading which isn't bad you just have to make sure to set time for it! Her live Zoom exam reviews are a nice way to quiz yourself and the lab keys. I liked her for me but you do kinda have to teach yourself in some aspects. I would take her again though!
Gives extra credit to help students pass! Also has zooms to help people prepare for exams.
Professor Rice is a great professor! I'm currently taking her BSC2086 online course. There are a lot of things that you have to learn about in such a short time and I'm personally having trouble with that. She gives a lot of extra credit and has exam Zoom reviews. I highly recommend attending the zoom reviews.
Anatomy and physiology is a difficult course to take online, but having a good instructor helped tremendously. The reading was supported well with PowerPoints and lab manuals for each chapter. She does Zoom reviews prior to each exam and for the finals as well which is a great study tool and I wish more instructors offered this!
A&P 2 is a challenging class. There are quizzes, a few worksheets, four lecture exams, 2 lab exams, and a cumulative final. The professor is very friendly and helpful. She provides reviews before every exam that are very helpful. You do have to read the textbook and lecture slides. Come prepared to learn! I would take again!
No lectures!!! Never responded in good time and like others have said, her coaching came first. Her test reviews are clicked questions from other professors. You pay for this class to read the textbook that is free online. Lectures should at least be offered. I taught myself everything.
Text heavy
Mrs. Rice is a good professor. Since it was online we did not have lectures however she did always do zoom test reviews and was very thorough about what she expected and required. Gives lots of extra credit as well.
PPT's line up well with the chapter material so it was good to have it open when reading to have a visual. Also had in-depth word files to accompany the chapter material. The only thing I see that could be better is maybe have some verbal lectures recorded onto the downloaded PDF files to help connect the dots when studying.
Professor Rice is a good professor for online class. She is flexible especially with people who work full time jobs. If you reach out to her about an issue, she is willing to compromise. Participation does matter, she hosts reviews that could towards participation so you have to know the content. This class is as test heavy as other science classes
Professor Rice made a course calendar at the beginning of the semester making is extremely easy for students to maintain a pace through the summer. Typically I do not perform well in online courses but Professor Rice made her expectations clear and I was able to succeed.
Professor Rice is amazing!! Everything is laid out perfectly and very organized. Her class isn't easy so you have to be willing to put in the work. She does Zoom reviews that are extremely helpful. If you can take her class!!
Professor Rice was amazing! She offers live exam reviews (which are VERY helpful) which also counts for participation. She provides weekly layouts to ensure everyone knows what is going on as well as plans out an entire calendar for the class to ensure proper time is taken out to study and keep up in order to ensure her students are on track!
Get ready to study, great professor!
It is up to you to read the provided textbook and take notes but she provides a study guide and does an exam review before all tests, midterms, and finals and they are EXTREMELY helpful. Very helpful and wants you to succeed. I would definitely take her again.
It is up to you to read the provided textbook and take notes but she provides a study guide and does an exam review before all tests, midterms, and finals and they are EXTREMELY helpful. Very helpful and wants you to succeed. I would definitely take her again.
She provides stellar study tools like chapter outlines and practice quizzes to help you really understand the material. The grading policies are very transparent so you'll know what to shoot for. She is also highly accessible outside of class - she's quick to respond to emails and makes herself available for office hours and extra help.
Hard class but good professor. No online lectures, you learn off of powerpoint and textbook. Group notes are useless.
Professor Rice gives clear instructions on each assignment, all materials are available at all times, gives great feedback and sometimes encouragement, and genuinely wants you to do well in her class.
It is a lot to read but my course was online with 4 months class and I had enough time to study.I think she speaks and directs clearly and I was comfortable in her class.I love the extra credits that she assign for her course. If I want to take another class I will definitely take it with her. I never had any issue communicating and contacting her.
Her zoom reviews are super helpful when preparing for the exams. She also has a study guide for each test that tells you exactly what you need to know for the exams. It is "self taught" but between the live reviews, study guides, and the PowerPoints, you can do well in the course. She has an online version of the textbook so no need to buy one.
Great class, teaches is very understanding and is willing to communicate of you need anything. Very flexible. Would definitely take again
STUDY STUDY! participation is graded. Be prepared to work in groups. Ask questions
Professor Rice is a great online teacher! Her feedback is spot-on, offering valuable insights for improvement and highlighting strengths. The class is dynamic thanks to Professor Rice's encouragement in active participation of live reviews. Highly recommended!
Professor rice made Anatomy and physiology very understandable! She holds exam reviews before each exam, keeps the class very organized and offers extra credit! She really makes the class stress free and manageable with a good guideline!
Professor Rice was great, the class has opportunities for extra credit and everything you need to know is in the lectures!
Definitely be prepared to study. Love the live zoom exam reviews that she does before each exam. She is willing to help you out to learn more and receive a better grade. Chances for extra credit which is GREAT. Drops your lowest exam score and replaces it with your highest if you do the low grade redo.
I took A &P2 (online) under Ms. Rice. She is an exceptional instructor. She creates a supportive online environment, is always responsive to questions, and provides valuable insights. I appreciate her commitment to making the subject interesting and relevant, using multimedia resources and interactive activities. She cares about students' success.
Great professor! A lot of testing, but makes sure you get the concept.
Ms.Rice was a great professor for anatomy 2. Even though we were an online course, she made sure the students communicated with each other to feel more connected! She gave plenty of study material and held informative/descriptive zoom reviews prior to testing. I really enjoyed her class!
Very straightforward and explanatory, also provided chances to redeem grades. Very good at doing reviews for tests. Homework and quizzes are also very useful for test review. Have great office hours.
Mrs. Rice was very helpful and knows the material very well, she has live exam reviews days before the exam is ever due and she gives you a good amount of chances at getting extra credit. The material is a lot to cover and I would recommend not working if you could because having a job and covering that much material is very very challenging.
Mrs Rice's class structure is super straight forward. The live zoom reviews helped me the most as she gives super helpful tips for memorizing hard topics. She actually made anatomy II pretty enjoyable.
Prof. Rice is knowledgable on A&P. She is available for office hours and through email outside of class. Her exam reviews and study guides are helpful. The course was difficult because there is a lot of content, reading and no lectures. That was hard for me because I'm used to having the lectures but she wants you to succeed and helps how she can.
Study guides are provided for the exams. She does prefer you communicate with her through her personal email which can be an inconvenience since all other work is done through Canvas. Online classes test through Honorlock, but the finals must be taken at a testing center, which makes zero sense. Can also be snarky and does not respect our time.
This class was such a joy to take considering it is a lot of hard work and material to cover. She does a very good job at letting you know what to expect from this course. Definitely need to be disciplined enough as a student to read through all the material and complete the homework. She does very comprehensive exam reviews that help greatly.
Professor Rice is a good professor who provides a lot of help outside of class. She does exam reviews on zoom that are very helpful and interactive. Clear grading criteria and organized schedule. Doesn't use lectures but offers a free textbook and powerpoints. Participation matters.
While she is a good professor and cares about the students I feel like she went into too much depth. She expected a lot considering you are learning a chapter a week and it is online and self lead without lectures.
Difficult class, but if you put in the time, follow the calendar given at the beginning of the course, attend all zoom reviews and do all of the assignments you will do fine. Live zoom reviews before each exam are very helpful. Organization is a must. Study all resources she provides, then study more. YOU MUST PUT IN THE TIME! Great professor!
Anatomy is a hard class in general but professor Rice does her best to make it as clear and easy as possible to retain information. If you put in the time to study, you will do great.
Very professional would definitely take again!
Professor Rice does a very good job with informing you on what to expect from this course. She has an organized schedule and clear grading criteria. There are no lectures provided in this course, but there's a free textbook and PowerPoints. She does exam reviews on Zoom that count as participation points and are very helpful.
Professor Rice is an exceptional educator who prioritizes student success. Her live Zoom reviews provide invaluable opportunities for clarifying doubts and reviewing key concepts before tests. Additionally, her meticulously prepared PowerPoint presentations and chapter summaries serve as invaluable study aids, ensuring thorough preparation.
She is an amazing professor, just gotta actually do her work and join her zoom calls.
Professor Rice clearly outlined what was expected of us in the course and gave us all of the tools needed to succeed. The fact that she was organized made me want to be very organized too. She definitely led by example and this is not a course for the faint of heart but it with Professor Rice's guidance it is very possible to do well in this class.
Her summaries, PowerPoints, and zoom reviews before exams were very helpful and prepare you for the exams. There is plenty of opportunity to improve your grade through extra credit.
Professor Rice was organized, clear and upfront with her assignments and grading. She had all notes, assignments, homeworks, quizzes and meetings posted and available in a timely manner. She even sent out a rundown at the start of every week to keep you on track. Textbook is free online and she has helpful Zoom reviews before each exam.
Professor Rice has a great A&P class. I would definitely take her class again. She is clear, concise, responsive, helpful, and fair. She seems to really care if you "get" it and her love for the subject is obvious. Her class is not convoluted, no busy work, just what you need to learn. She has plenty of video aids as well.
Professor Rice gives you all the information you need to pass her class. She is organized and responsive. Exam reviews are helpful.
Professor Rice was very clear of her expectations for this course and made things very easy to follow along throughout the semester. With it being an OL course it required a lot of self teaching but she was always open for office hours and held exam review zooms! I would recommend her class to anyone!
I firmly believe that success in online learning requires consistent effort Despite the lack of physical interaction, I had an exceptional experience with my professor who was not only approachable but also made communication easy. I am confident that the education I received online is on par with that of a traditional classroom setting.
Professor Rice is a really good professor. She knows what she's talking about and explains things well. She also has zoom reviews before every exam which is really helpful, and even if you aren't able to make it to the zoom reviews, you can turn in a transcript of the questions and answers that she went over.
Professor Rice provides calendars so that you can stay on track. She does zoom reviews prior to every test. Which is extremely helpful. I disliked that there was material assigned that does not show up on your canvas assignments and she does not provide recorded lectures so be prepared to read! I wouldn't take her class again due to no lectures.
Professor Rice is very smart and she wants you to pass her class. She gives plenty of opportunity to earn extra points and is flexible. I would take her class again.
Professor Rice is genuinely a great professor. She makes everything really accessible. The textbook is even a free textbook online. You definitely have to study, but Professor Rice makes expectations really clear. Her exam reviews on Zoom before exams are great- make sure to go!
Answer emails in a timely manner and is helps you understand the material
Sets a clear standard for her students and provides extra credit options, exam reviews and weekly emails that inform you of what is due for the week. The class is a lot of material, but that's because it is A&P2. However, I do wish the layout was more online friendly. It can be harder if you are a student that juggles school and work full time.
This professor is great. Shes very straight forward & upfront on the grading & whats expected. The class is a very informational dense course so thats what makes it difficult. There are no lectures, its heavily based on the readings from textbook & powerpoints. The live exam reviews are extremely helpful so make sure you attend these!
Make sure to read the summary notes on the chapters! It helps so much! This a very independent hands-on course. YOU have to READ THE MATERIAL! I personally found that rewatching the Zoom reviews after she uploads them and taking notes helped with the exams! Good luck!
She gives you all materials needed for success - it's up to you to discipline yourself. For every exam she does a live review - I recommend taking notes. A good study method is 1) Read/Review powerpoints & CHP. summaries. 2) Complete/Study: exam study guides, quizzes, labs & HW assignments. She's great at communication and cares about your success!
It's rigorous, but it provides all the essentials needed to pass. Exams are online using Honorlock, with finals in person at the lab. The instructor also offers pre-exam Zoom reviews to ensure you're prepared. Grading is transparent, and she's always responsive to emails. Be ready to study hard, but you have everything necessary to succeed!
Professor Rice is amazing. Throughout this semester she was very clear on what she was expecting from her students and what you needed to do in order to have a good grade. Very independent class so study up!
There is a lot of work and reading that goes into this class.There are 4 unit exams that can be taken online, 2 in person lab midterm/final exam and the cumulative departmental final in person exam that is 10% of our grade. One lab quiz once a week. Professor rice offers extra credit and reviews that help with each exam.
This professor was flexible and willing to work with crazy summer schedules .She had a baby during this course, but was very timely in her responses to any questions i had. I appreciated the level of extra credit given for this course and the fairness of the exam content. Would recommend her to anyone who feels uneasy taking Anatomy 2 like i did!!
Read own chapters and take own notes
This class is tough in general. Professor Rice cares about you doing well in class but you have to put in the work. Gives a decent amount of extra credit. I would take her class again.
Great professor! Would totally recommend her for Anatomy and Physiology 2! She desires to help her students and wants to see them succeed. The course is exam heavy, but she holds live exam reviews which were really helpful!
The online course is very self taught but she helps and gives many opportunities to reach a good grade by the end of the semester.
This was my first summer class online, and I wish there were lecture videos. However, the textbook is very helpful to go along with the PowerPoints, and she holds exam reviews which are also great. As long as you keep up with her calendar, there shouldn't be any concerns. However, I bet the class would be easier to take in person.
I thought that this was a good class. Professor Rice was very responsive in emails. She sends out a report every week to let you know what is coming up and the Exam Review Sessions are a HUGE assest. The only thing I would wish for is recorded lectures, other than that I think it was a great class and I would recommend taking her class.
She is good professor but be prepared to understand almost all material by yourself
Very good professor but you will have to learn a lot of the material on your on
The class is easy if you study and read the material, but there are no lecture videos to help you. She holds exam reviews and provides you with guides to study with for exams. At the end, the class was a bit rapid, but there is a calendar she makes to show when we start each unit and when assignments are due. She is clear with expectations.
For being such a hard class to take online, Professor Rice was always there for students and very helpful. There were live reviews before exams which were very helpful and showed she cared about the class although it was online. She was always available to help and to clarify anything. I would take her again.
Mary Rice was an understanding professor who worked with me and my circumstances. She was communicative and helpful with the detailed exam reviews. Would absolutely take her again.
This class is a difficult class to take online. You must be prepared to read and study material on your own. She was very willing to help during office hours or if you emailed a question. Live exam reviews were recorded, which was very helpful.
Professor Rice was really nice and very helpful throughout the whole semester, I really recommend taking her
professor Rice was very informative provided tons of notes. this is just a hard class nothing that you can just breeze by.
Professor Rice's class is rigorous but rewarding. She provides clear expectations and helpful exam reviews. With discipline and using resources like the free textbook and Unstuck study, you can succeed in this hands-on, informative course.
Professor Rice is great. As an online class it's very difficult unless you stay on top of it but she gives great resources and zoom review before every exam, and there are some activities to complete to be able to get a low grade redo(lowest grade on unit exam is replaced with the highest grade) which I think it's extremely helpful.
She is a good professor, there were live reviews before exams which is helpful to some. Though be prepared to understand all the material by yourself.
Great professor to take AP2 with. Free textbook. Provides everything you need to excel. 2 opportunities on each chapter and lab quiz so you can improve. If you make flash cards for each PowerPoint, do the labs then correct them when the key is released, study the quizzes, and attend the exam reviews (or watch them), the tests will be easy.
Professor Rice's online Anatomy and Physiology II course was engaging and accessible. She created a supportive learning environment and was always available to help students. Her quick replies and clear explanations made complex ideas easier to understand, greatly enhancing the learning experience. Professor Rice does her part , you must do yours!
Great professor. It is an online class so you are on your own for the most part, but she was very helpful and always had a zoom review before exams.
Professor rice is a great teacher . She sticks to the provided schedule and really knows her stuff. Frequent quizzes helped me stay on track. Live test reviews are very helpful. You can tell she cares about her students.
Probably one of the harder classes that I have taken. It is an important course, so it is hard for a good reason. Go to her reviews before the exams. I found them very helpful.
Probably one of the harder classes I have taken, but that is due to the material. Professor Rice answered e-mails and had really helpful exam reviews. Go to those reviews, as you'll get points and be prepared for the exams. I do wish the lectures had a voice-over component. I did take the online course, so if you do that be prepared to self-teach.
A&P is a hard enough class to take, but this class was extremely helpful with the study meetings with the teacher before each exam and the accessibility for help from the teacher. There is alot of work to do in this class, class notes with your peers, Labs, quizzes and exams. Be perpared to read the book and study. Be active in participation.
lot of work but great class. She provides a calendar at the beginning of the semester that marks due dates and when she will be hosting zooms. She also sends out weekly emails, to remind us of upcoming assignments, which is very helpful. The exam review zooms are required for participation and she is easy to reach out to if you have any questions.
great professor would take this class again. very straightforward. do the low grade redo option always nice to have.
Took her online. The tests are straightforward but it's a lot of material. You must attend Live Reviews for participation points (or transcribe the review which will likely take you longer than just attending) but that is a GOOD thing because she is going over what will be on the test.
Professor Rice is nice. There are no lectures so you will need to read the chapters, PowerPoints, and summaries provided to understand the material for each exam. All the necessary resources are provided for you to do well in the course. Utilize the calendar provided to stay on top of things. The exam reviews are really helpful. Great course!
She is a fair professor long as you show you are willing to put in the work. She gives really thorough and concise exam reviews which are extremely helpful. The pace of the course is very doable and she does a great job with letting students know her expectations and when things are due.
overall amazing professor, she was very clear with grading and assignments. she would do weekly checkins via email to make sure we were all on the same page. Highly recommend.
It can be a tough class if you're used to lectures. Course expectations and grading are very straightforward. The live zoom exam reviews were very helpful.
If I did not already have previous knowledge of A&P I would've struggled in this class. She gives you a link to an online textbook, but does not take much material from it. Her response time varied. Study slides. Majority of the exams reviews were pretty late (8pm).Clear about what she expects you to do in the class. Gives EC & very understanding.
Professor Rice is one of my favorite professors at SF. Her class is well organized and she goes out of her way to host zoom lecture reviews. Would take again!
Professor Rice is one of my favorite professors at SF. Her class is well organized and she goes out of her way to host zoom lecture reviews. Would take again! If I didn't have a full-time job on top of this class I could've gotten a much better grade. Thank you Professor.
I appreciate the fact that Professor Rice took her time for zoom lectures. The labs exam are hard but i guess with great study techniques i am sure you'll do great. She takes too long to answer to emails but other than that I definitely recommend her.
10 out of 10 would recommend.
This class is extremely difficult, but Professor Rice is very responsive and helpful to any questions. There are no vocab terms provided other than the ones in the book and no lectures and you will have to read the textbook so be aware of that.
This course is challenging when taken online. There are no formal lectures; you must read the book, take notes, and participate in the live exam reviews to be successful. With that being said, Professor Rice is awesome, her explanations during the reviews were helpful for the exams, and there are extra credit opportunities.
This class is a self-paced class, so if you aren't on top of it or struggle to teach yourself, then I would suggest to take an in person class since a lot of material is being covered. As for the professor, she is straight forward on what is expected and she hosts zoom reviews before exams (her zooms and office hours are 8pm so keep that in mind).
This can be a difficult class to take online due to the amount of information you must learn. Professor Rice makes that very clear in the beginning. She gives you a great amount of detailed slideshows and lab worksheets to stay on track. There was also a course calendar of every single day throughout the semester to help you stay on track.
This course is completely online, with no live lectures—just you and your resources. The class provides slides to aid your studying, but the only way you'll be successful is by watching YouTube videos and teaching yourself. The professor is essentially available for any questions and exam reviews, but other than that, you are on your own.
A&P 2 is a very difficult class to take online but Professor Rice was the best professor to take it with. She provides ample exam review material and hosts office hours on demand. Would definitely recommend!
Professor Rice is filled helpful information regarding this course the best way to get that information is to have 1:1 meetings with the professor. The professor was honest with the way the class is set up. There is NO LECTURES and learning is up to you. There are exam reviews but they are extremely fast paced. The class is hard but doable.
This course is a self taught online class. professor Rice does not include lectures in this course, but offers many outlets for learning the material to successfully pass the course. She also offers plenty of extra credit opportunities, exam reviews via zoom, and is available for further assistance via email, office hours, etc.
mostly just reading textbook and going to exam review
This is a learn at your pace class with no lectures. Lots of reading. The tests are very hard and very hard to study for. I would not take this class if you struggle with learning on your own. Having the class in the GroupMe chat was amazing, they were helpful in getting information and study material from.
Good professor. Clearly states how to effectively be successful in the course. Does live exam reviews which are helpful.
Professor Rice is a good teacher. Although I personally found the class difficult. Most assignments are quizzes and tests, lots of reading in the textbook. Zoom meetings about exams week of. Prepare for lots of studying as exams cover lots of material. She does offer extra credit so make sure to pay attention for that.
Be prepared to know everything and anything. There is thankfully a GroupMe, which really helped for studying for exams. There is a lot of extra credit which is a huge help, but do not bank on it, but do take every opportunity. Participation is huge so make sure to do all PowerPoint assignments and zoom review meetings. It helps, truly.
this class does not have any online lectures so it is very self taught. professor provides many opportunities for extra credit and provides many outlets to reach out for any extra help
There is a clear outline of what is expected (however, discussions will NOT give you a notification on Canvas when they are open), so keep an eye out for those using the course calendar. The course calendar is where most notifications are given unless it's a quiz or test. PARTICIPATION is graded even though its an online course.
helpful with tons of different ways to get your grade back up if your struggling in the exams.
Professor Rice's classwork load is a lot but the quizzes and tests are organized similarly so it's not that difficult to understand the material (as long as your okay with teaching yourself each lesson).
She outlines the course and due dates very clearly for you to follow, but the course is almost entirely self-taught. Which given the complexity of the material was difficult and forces you to spend a lot of time reading and trying to learn and understand from outside sources. Some kind of recorded lectures I feel are a must in a class like this.
No lectures. Apparently I need lectures. You have to wait for her to post the answers to the labs so you cant study. You have to attend or TRANSCRIBE? the 2 hour exam review and she doesn't post the questions so you have to listen to her read. And the discussion questions? Why do they even exist? Participation is required. Inconvenient office hours
She's good and give extra credit
I found the course to be perfect for convenience and flexibility. The professor does provide a lot of material in the form of quizzes, manuals, etc., but if you are a person that needs lectures, recorded videos, or in-depth exam prep, etc., then this course is not going to work for you. Participation = Extra Credit and is a GOOD thing! Trust me!
She's always available through email, gives extra credits + does live reviews before exams. However, there's no recorded lectures, so be prepare to read the textbook (which is provided online) or to relay heavily on YouTube videos. Complete all quizzes because the exams will be very similar. Few discussions to engage with the class + notes collabs.
Professor Mary Rice is a wonderful instructor for BSC2086 online. She communicates clearly, is very organized, and makes complex material easier to understand. She responds quickly, provides helpful guidance, and truly cares about student success. Highly recommend her to anyone who wants a supportive and engaging learning experience.
online BSC2086 A&P2. If you're someone who is very capable of teaching yourself by reading chapters and taking notes that way, her class will be perfect for you. If you rely on lectures to talk you through and explain material to you, than her class isn't for you.
If you take her online course get ready to read the textbook and make your own notes and study guides. It is a bit challenging to study everything and know everything on the exams because it is a lot of material. Overall she was kind and helped with online exam reviews but I wish there was more structured study material for exams.
This class is mostly self-led using outside resources and an online link is provided for the textbook. There are no pre-recorded lectures. The live reviews before tests are helpful and she gives lots of extra credit opportunities. Participation and organization are key to passing this class.
Professor Rice is organized and offers extra credit. You collaborate with classmates for notes. Lectures aren't recorded, only PowerPoints. Labs are mostly self-taught with slides and lab sheets. Live exam reviews and study guides are broad. Overall, it's a fine class.
I knew it would be a bit more difficult taking an online class but i would have appreciated more walk-through lectures instead of having to teach myself majority of the material. However, the quizzes and zoom reviews were helpful in going over the required material.
Professor Rice is a very understanding teacher and is lenient on all of the work she gives you, mind you the class is not easy by any means but as long as you read the material and just study you will be fine. We did have an "online textbook" we needed to read from but its provided so no money was spent on it.
She lays out her guidelines very clearly at the beginning of the course and even included a calendar to help keep us on track. There are not recorded lectures, which may not work for some, but she provides all the materials you need in order to learn. If you actually read the materials she provides and her weekly update, you will do fine.
Professor Mary Rice teaches in a very caring and understanding way. She checks in with students and helps them stay on track when they are missing something. Even though anatomy is hard and the class is fully online, she explains the material clearly. Her exam reviews are very helpful and make the course easier to manage.
Great instructor with clear expectations and very helpful Exam Reviews you can attend live or later, even for the final. The course is rigorous but well-paced. Also multiple chances to improve your grade. I liked the flexibility of using my own study resources (Always use Youtube!!). LOVED that tests were always weighted fairly. Highly recommend!
Professor rice was probably one of the best professors I've had. She is very understanding and wants you to do well in this class!!
If you need lectures don't take this class I only passed because Caswell extended his resources to me.
