This prof has much passion for anatomy and desires for all students to learn and acknowledge the great artistic work of the human body. This is not an easy class. Must complete all homework and study at least 2-3 hrs everyday. Lectures on a topic and recaps right after to ensure everyone understands. No student is left behind. Thank you!!! :)

She does not respond to messages, the syllabus is unorganized, and does not use pictures relating to her modules, textbook, or worksheets on the exam. She will use the most awful representation of a picture on the exam that's blurry. During an accelerated 5 week session, you would expect a professor to be more helpful and understanding.

Worst professor I've ever had. She doesn't know how to navigate canvas, never responds to emails, doesn't communicate, leaves students guessing what to expect for the next class session, locks or changes grades randomly, didn't grade anything til a few days before grades were due, does not teach/explain well, forgets to upload lectures. Very rude.

Dr. Mubarak is a great professor. She connects the material to real life experiences. Her class is very useful in the medical field and if you want to learn, take her class. She is very caring and very patient. She works really hard for her students and available to help any time. She have office hours almost every day. She wants you to SUCCEED.

Tests and quizzes can be difficult, but she is very good at explaining all the information during her lectures. Not an easy class, but if you want a career in health science, she'll make sure that you get prepared for it.

I took anatomy and physiology with Dr. M. She was not only very knowledgeable but also incredibly kind and caring. I learned so much from her, and I would highly recommend her to anyone. She made the complex topics easy to understand and was always there to help us. If you get the chance, definitely take a class with her.

I'll say that until the end, I did not think I would appreciate Prof. Mubarak as much as I do now. She may seem tough on you, but she knows her stuff and clearly cares a lot for her students and wants you to succeed. I appreciate all her time she has committed to the class and it is not an easy class! Take her if you can, but prepare to study!

Dr. Mubarak is a hit or miss with some students. Her style is a little different in the sense of comparing to most American college professors I've had. She definately knows her stuff. She's pretty blunt and straight to the point when interacting with most students. She does have a big heart though. Just put in effort in her classes.

Tests are 58% so you need to study, study, and study. For homework, it was mainly to label the parts & locations. She does not lecture, she provides youtube videos. You are on your own; you are basically reading and taking notes of 1 chapter per day. The only thing I did not enjoy was that tests were 50+ questions and 30 minutes time limit.

Dr. M is an excellent professor. Although her class is lecture heavy, she always incorporates hands-on labs that help to reinforce lecture material. She conveys the material clearly and even teaches you how to study and be successful in her class. On a personal level, Dr. M is very caring and genuinely wants her students to learn and be successful.

Rarely gives class breaks, rushes through 3-4 long chapters per lecture. Syallbus locked after week 6. Doesn't communicate well & makes passive aggressive comments if you don't understand topic. She taught & posted incorrect info several times, & on review day claimed we misunderstood and only then would she correct the errors. VERY unorganized.

If you're wanting to show up once a week and to study hours before a test, this isn't the class for you. If you want LEARN for your future career and are willing to put in the work for it, take this class. Dr. Mubarak has a wealth of knowledge and truly cares about your learning and success. Exams are weighted very heavily and homework is easy.

She is an excellent professor, especially for teaching hard course like anatomy that is such a complex subject. I took this course during the most stressful period of senior year but she was always there to lend a helping hand. She provides feedback on work and loves to evoke complex thinking in the classroom. Just try reach out when needed. :)

She is a great professor but don't take anatomy online unless you're willing to study for at least 4 hours every day. She does not let you retake tests or quizzes. If you fail a test good luck trying to get your grade back up. You need to be ready to memorize the lectures and homework. Other than that she was a good professor, always offering help

terrible lecturer, slides made no sense/had little no information. even if you do the hw, if it's not to her “standards” she'll mark you down. she wants you to ask questions but will never answer them and if you ask a question she'll make you seem stupid for asking it (but says there are “no dumb questions). do not take her if you want to succeed

Professor's schedule is very irregular, does not stick to syllabus and often gets dates mixed up for quizzes. Tough grader, judges you for asking questions but then gets upset when questions aren't asked. She doesn't respond to emails at all and doesn't grade fairly. All around bad at communicating and is very passive aggressive.

The workload was extremely heavy for a summer class 4 to 6 hours of daily reading. There's very little flexibility or room for error. I've taken harder classes before and done well, but this was the most micro-managed and demoralizing experience I've had. I would not recommend her unless you're prepared for a very rigid and high-pressure course.

I took her as a sub because my original professor left during the last week of the class, summer 2025. She went over the actual professors slides, but during her teaching, I didn't really understand her she didn't really make things easier. She is caring though, she was understanding to our class. But I personally wouldn't take her.

Truly the worst professor I've had at ElCo. Over a month behind on grading the entire semester. Questions on quizzes that are not related to any content in the lectures. Grade weighting is strange, minimal points available so very little availability to impact your grade (at least in a positive way). Should not be teaching any only courses
