Most amazing and insiteful teacher I have had at this university. She is crystal clear, but the TA's do alot of the work with the students. open labs are optional but you will not pass the class unless you go to open labs. The practicals are hard. KNOW what you are supposed to, study ALOT and go to the open labs you'll be fine. I LOVE THIS CLASS!

Prof explains things amazingly. Online and live lectures are very clear and interesting. However, this class is by far the hardest 1 credit you will ever work to earn. If you can't attend open labs on weekends, defer taking this class until you can. Impossible to pass otherwise. Need to know every piece of info forwards,backwards,and sideways.

Her book pretty much has what you need to know, but she lacks communication because she posts things online sometimes late. Now you are graded on 3 exams, and she goes out of her way to make sure she fails you over on the exams with tricky questions, and answers that only have one word difference from the book. I advise taking Hansen.Fay.

This is one of the hardest classes that exists in OU because u need a 98% or higher to get a 4.0. Professor Bee does a great job with her lectures and preparations. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS if u need a 3.7 or 4.0 because it is extremely hard to get above a 92.9999%

Shes a really kind professor... but the tests are extremely hard and she doesnt give partial credit for multiple answer questions. The grading system is terrible as well. You dont get your homework back after they are graded. You just get a grade in moodle and thats it.

Neuroanatomy was the hardest class I've taken in undergrad. While I loved the material and her lectures were amazing, there was so much to learn and exams were hard! Take the course but expect to study hard, especially the nerves in the upper and lower limbs.

Neuroanatomy was a great subject with Dr. Bee! Online lectures are very detailed and clear about what to expect for exams. Format is very similar to BIO 2100 (exam question style, quizzes over each chapter, video lectures, homework), had to do a "presentation" (just a ppt.), and group discussion boards over topics related to the material

Dr. Bee is by far the best professor Ive had at Oakland. Everyone loves her unless theyre not doing well in the class, which is never her fault. All the test questions come from her workbook that we fill out on our own from her online lectures. She is so funny, caring, understanding, and knowledgeable. Do yourself a favor and take her for anatomy

Take Neuroanatomy in person!!! You get exposure to surgical procedures on cadavers (craniotomy, laminectomy, etc). Format is similar to BIO 2100 (exam questions, online quizzes, homework). There is also a ppt presentation. Her book is amazing, just wish we wouldve covered the Enteric nervous system (gut)... Great grad school neuro prep!

Dr. Bee wants you to pass more than your own parents. She wrote the workbook herself, so all of the lectures match up, and she provides us with notecards. She is always making sure her students understand the content and provides you with the resources you will need (she will never test you on anything that is not in the workbook).

This professor doesnt know how to actually teach. Exams are basically just memorizing sentences, not actually understanding the material. Have her for neuroanatomy right now and not sure what Im going to get in the class yet. Exams are hard and literally 30 questions but worth 100 points. Very unfair way of teaching vs exams.

This professor expects you to buy her $200 workbook that you practically need to memorize to do well on the exams. The class she teaches as a 2100 level course should be placed as a 4000 level course with how in depth the material goes. Each exam covers around 8 or so sections on the body and no backtracking is allowed for exams. Ridiculous.

This one class is like a full time job. 9-15 chapters! per exam (3 total) and every question is "which statement is true/false" which really eats up your little time. Usually it'll be the difference between a single word. If you have a photographic memory, you'll do fine. If you're an actual person, you'll regret taking this course. She's nice tho.

9-15 chapters of material per exam. The class is essentially "memorize every single word of the $250 textbook that I wrote".

Teaching is definitely not her strong suit. She has a PhD and all but regardless, the quality of teaching is not great for students. She says to use her workbook, memorize it, and that's all so from her perspective she thinks that is teaching. If you are going to memorize verbatim, at that point I suggest taking another class.

Students need to avoid at all costs. Wants you to remember verbatim all the details of a textbook SHE created. Memorization may sound easy, but one you take her class you will see that her test questions are the types of questions that are too detailed. Like changing up one small word. If you miss that small word, you just lost the point.
