Absolutely wonderful class. Dr B has a passion for the Sciences and it shows in her lectures. I learned so much in class. Her labs allow you to work with your classmates to figure out needed information. She hands out review sheets before each Lecture exam and lab practical. Highly recommend. Must read chapters to to pass extra credit quizzes!

Dr. B was truly one of the best professors I have encountered so far at Seminole State. Her class is not easy and much studying is required. However, I have never learned so much in one semester. She really wants you to understand the material.If I could taker her for A & P II I would. It?s a shame we don?t have more professors like her.

I love this teacher! She is definitely hard but is willing to work with anyone to help them advance. She is so smart and breaks things down into simpler terms for better understanding. I highly reccomend this teacher.

Please disregard any of the previous comments. Dr. Byfield is by far the best professor I have ever had. Yes, it is a challenging course. Yes, you actually have to read the book. She is not a professor that just gives A's away. You have to work for it. I would recommend Dr. Byfield to anyone who actually wants to learn something about Biology.

Loves what she teaches and teaches at a novice level. I learned a great deal, she gives you all the tools to succeed, you just have to apply them. She is a must take teacher for biology.

Awesome professor! She makes it really easy to understand the material. I would definitely reccomend her for anyone taking anatomy! Wish she teached Anatomy II.

Dr. B is one of the best teachers! It's true, she follows the book closely with her PowerPoint, but still answers questions & explains material well. During lecture, she asks questions and reviews terms, so it's part lecture & study session. Labs are group efforts where we teach each other. It's a great way to memorize but you must participate. A&P is a lot of memorization, but between lecture and lab, Dr. B. really jump starts that process. Wish I could take A & P II with her:(

Dr. Byfield is an amazing teacher. She is extremely helpful and clear on what she wants. You can get an A if you study and complete the study guide. Mastering Biology is very helpful. She gets you involved in lectures because she wants you, and expects you to know the material. I would take her again in a heartbeat!

Great professor! Very organized. When she shows you how best to memorize everything in lab, LISTEN TO HER. She wouldn't emphasize her methods if they didn't work. Attendance is pretty essential. Lectures are based on Powerpoints taken from the book. Only negative: Her tests are unclear at times so make sure u know the ins and outs of the material.

I enjoyed taking this class with her. This class is overall hard but she helps u understand the material an goes step by step. She also gives reviews before exam which help alot do all the extra credit and quizzes I got an A anyone else can do it! Oh the lab practicals are tricky so study hard for those!

Dr. Byfield is good but "dry" She lectures w/ power points bc the book is overwhelming & she is very fussy about you listening to lecture & not taking notes (you can record). But most of what you need is on the power points in Sakai so just print & bring to class. If you pay attention & study you'll do fine. Doesn't seem to enjoy teaching lab!

Prof B. is awesome. I took bio with a different prof the first time and failed miserably; the second time around I took it with Prof B. and excelled. I am now with her in a&pI and class is great. prof breaks down the material making it crystal clear and easy. she also provides ALL notes and material on Sakai and review material which are helpful

She is about the best professors I ever got. Really cares about students success. Was sad when she told me she doesnt teach A&P2. If you really want to learn, is best professor to teach the subject. Very knowledgeable, professional, and knows how to teach in a very logical and simple way. Pay close attention to her summaries...they are excelent! MP

She is not an easy teacher but Anatomy is not any east class. I learned SO MUCH in her class. Come to class and pay attention and you will do well. This is a class to prepare you for a medical profession so take it seriously. Great teacher and great class. LOVED her.

Dr. B was very informative and detailed in her lectures. She stressed NO NOTE TAKING in her lecture for good reason. The concepts are difficult to master, but if you pay attention, she explains well. She can get short with you if you try to get off subject with dumb comments.

I enjoyed Dr. B she drives you to learn, so if you are not there to learn you won't like her. She takes learning seriously. She's a great teacher! Make use of her office hours, but Bio/ A&P you have to study!!!

This class was hard, but that's how a science class should be. If you're not willing to work for your grade and you want an easy class, then she is not for you. But she is a really good professor and she knows how to teach the material the right way. It's not about memorization or repetition anymore.

If you are looking for an easy A don't take her!! If you want a class where you can waste your and others time, don't take her! Now if you are looking for a professor that really makes sure you and your classmates learn and understand the subject, then she is the teacher you need. I had Biology and AP1 with her. I am sad she is not teaching AP2!

She is very thorough in her teaching. She will explain a subject and then have the class repeat it later on. If only a few student are answering, she will tell them to be quiet and have the rest of the class answer to make sure everyone is thinking and understanding the material. If you miss class, you miss crucial material. She takes no nonsense.

Dr B's class is tough. However, if you are taking AP to get into a medical profession, she definitely prepares you for things you need to know. Her teaching style forces you to learn the material which is essential for beginning any medical program. I got into PTA school and am using lot of what I learned. She's very helpful during her office hours

This is my second time taking her because she really teaches you the material. She is very sassy and it's her way or the highway, but you end up truly understanding and applying the information. Don't take unless you're willing to work (like you should in any science class!!!)

Dr. Byfield's a great Prof. If you wanna learn and gain knowledge, this is the Professor. She'll stop for questions anytime and she doesn't mind repeating the explanation over and over until you understand. She only came in to save our class through the end of the semester, but had I taken her from the beginning, I think I would have done better.

For the first couple of weeks I hated Dr. B's class, but after the first test I realized I really knew the material. Dr. B is strict because she wants you to learn. If you like talking to your classmates in class, then you will hate Dr. B. If you have a question she wants you to ask her, not the person beside you. But she is very fair.

This is a hard rating for me. In the beginning I did not like her, at all. Yet, through the months she grew on me. She has a way of speaking to people, so don't let that get to you it's just who she is. You'll eventually be able to joke and laugh with her, not a lot though. You can pass the class as long as you do everything she tells you to do.

Dr. Byfield is amazing! She is blunt but that doesn't bother me, some people are just overly sensitive. She pushes her students to do their best, as a good teacher should. I would take her for A&P 2 if she taught it. She's super intelligent and makes it very interesting. It's a difficult class but I couldn't have asked for a better professor.

Doctor. Byfield is a great Professor, she is so educated and knows exactly what you will need to know to pass all her test and Final. She is strict and straight forward and honest and wants all her students to pass with at least a C average so she is tough, but with that being said she is a great professor! Get ready to Read and don't SLACK!!

Great professor, very intelligent and wants you to do well. She is tough, and demands participation, but teaches you a great way to learn by doing so. This is not an easy class so you have to put in work, but she'll discuss any questions you have. Would take her for A&P II if it were an option.

Top notch, educated, experienced professor. The class is HARD and she is tough sometimes, but trust me--you need the push!! I can see why some people complain but trust me--participate in lectures & labs, study your guides and textbook and online portion, and you should do very well. She met with me during office hours to discuss my concerns. thx

Ms. Byfield was awesome. There is alot of reading but if you do put in the work you will definitely pass. Her door is always open for questions. She seems intimidating but she really isnt just dont expect and easy grade.

Hands down my favorite science professor at the school. She goes over and beyond to help absolutely any and everybody. You HAVE to do the work. Do her study guides PRIOR to lectures so she can clear anything up, and ask questions if you need to. She gives EC on tests. If she knows that you care about your goals, she will as well. Truly phenomenal.

You will learn so much in this class, and believe me when I read all these reviews the first time I freaked out. But stepping into her class was one of the best decisions I've made in a long time. If you want to be a successful healthcare provider, nothing worth having comes easy. In order to save someone's life you have to put in the time.

I can honestly say that I havent read anything from the textbook, matter of fact I didnt even buy one, I just checked one out from the library. Make sure to do her study guides, they arent whats on the test verbatim but they do help with the general idea of what will be on the tests. She gives tons of extra credit, just make sure to speak up.

It took me a while to get used to her teaching style but once I did, and started speaking out loud in class, my grades went up. She gives extra credit and really does care about her students even though it might not seem like it. I took her again for another class and she lightened up more! Make sure to do the study guides and pay attention in lab!

I took her previously for Gen. Bio. and she was a different professor this semester. She opened up and enjoyed teaching a lot and made it enjoyable for us. Do not miss class, she doesn't grade attendance but you need the lectures AND labs to understand the material. Speak up in class and you'll do great!

She is the best professor! I took her for anatomy and biology. She is an aggressive teacher but she TEACHES. She always open to help and answer questions. I just wished people would take advantage of her oOFFICE HOURS. SHE IS ALWAYS THERE !

Prof. Byfield's class may seem hard, but she practically tells you how to pass her class, if you do everything that she does you will pass. She is amazing at explaining everything during the lectures, and she will help you if you ask her. Also, she does give extra credit.

Dr. Byfield is very knowledgeable and a passionate professor when it comes to helping you learn what you need to succeed. You will have to work for your grade but it is worth it. She is always willing to help you outside of class and gives you great pointers on how to become an A student. Don't be afraid to ask!! Study and you can get an A.

She can seem very tough at first, but her lectures are so beneficial and informative. As long as you study hard, participate (she will ask you questions during the lecture which actually helped me retain a lot of the information), and manage your time appropriately so that everything is turned in on time, you'll pass. Love her teaching style.

Took her General Bio and A&P I. She is well educated and experienced. She is tough but she prepares you for the harsh reality that the medical industry is HARD. She really teaches, but you MUST put in the work. She is always in her office to help and really cares about her students. She tells you how to get an A! Huge impact on my life!

She is a knowledgeable, passionate teacher but she is a TOUGH teacher, and she expects you to work for your grade and put the time and effort in. Expect to spend 8-10 hours a week studying... She lacks clarity at times about assignments/test content which can be frustrating. WILL push you to become a better student!

She is the best Anatomy & Physiology teacher I had. I took her online during summer semester with this COVID pandemic. She has video lectures & give video reviews on the study guide on what you need to know for the test. She give extra credit for each unit. Her discussions are easy; just make sure you do your part and study.

Took her for BSC2093 & BSC2010. She really TEACHES. favorite professor. You have to put in the EFFORT. She is HARD but so is the health care industry. She will ALWAYS help with ANYTHING during in-office hours. Study guides and reviews are DETAILED! Her class is so organized, follow the syllabus. Taught me how to study and organized! LIFE CHANGING!

She is honestly a great professor who really cares for her students. She does not tolerate lazy students though. But failing or acing the class if you are trying to put in the work, she wants you to succeed and wants to help. She has great reviews and gives lots of extra credit.

At the beginning of the semester I absolutely hated her, but I have to admit, Dr. Byfield really grew on me by the end of it. She complains A LOT about students not participating and has a very difficult attitude to get used to, but she is highly knowledgeable and I learned so much from her lectures.

She is straight forwards. Before Lecture and Lab, you must have reviewed and studied the material she tells you to study. So before class, watch the lecture video on canvas and do the study guide. It helps for lectures.

Maya really cares about her students, she had many resources for her bio students. If I needed help she would explain it in a few ways that would make sense. Her tests weren't too bad but definitely listen in lecture. I can agree though if youre a sensitive person or get offended easily dont take her. She's chill but you have to be too.

I was scared to take her class because of all the negative reviews but she honestly was the most helpful professor I have ever had. I had to retake this class and it was way easier with her. Homework is person, she reviews before every test and gives you the answers to the quizzes. 10/10 take her to pass.

best teacher ive ever had, taught me how to study. if you do absolutely everything she says to do, go to every class, and listen to everything she is telling you, you will get an A i promise. it is hard work but that is what this field is and it is preparing you
