My all-time favorite teacher! Enthusiastic about the subject and very knowledgable. Lectures and labs are interesting. Sometimes I wish we'd go through lecture a little bit faster since it always seems we're a bit behind, but this is due to her willingness to answer questions and explain things again. Tests are challenging but very fair. A+++!

Methea is a cool teacher. She loves what she teaches and has alot of knowledge on related subjects. She is willing to help you out. You can do one make up exam in this class which was cool. You have power points to take notes on so whats on the power point is on the test. If you have to take biology, I would take it from Mathea.

Run! One of the only teachers I have had who actively set up students to fail. I have never had a teacher who expect half of her class to fail. Test are based on your fine print reading skills, not your knowledge of the subject. I should have listened to past students and taken Blevins at the Falls instead. Good luck!

Professor Sapp gives cool info in her lectures and she seems like a caring person. However, there are no assignments in this class except two that don't help learn the information, all graded tasks are exams. She doesn't require a book but I highly recommend you get it. There is a lot of info for each exam and most questions are on small details.

A&P 241 is a very hard class but Prof. Sapp was very engaged and encouraging! She was very helpful whenever I had questions and her lectures give all the information you'll need to do well on exams. If you put in much time and effort into studying and knowing the material, you will do well.

Lack of specificity in what will be covered in the exams other than "chapter whatever". Only "professor" I've ever had at SCC that requires a monitored browser. Few assignments other than very specific-question exams. Does not feel like an introduction to oceanography at all! Way too many scientific terms. The book is long and very hard to follow.

Methea is a such a wonderful professor who seems to love and have a true passion for what she does. She has been one of the best professors I've had the pleasure of having and has greatly advanced my knowledge of A&P. Her extensive knowledge is evident in her lectures, A&P is a tough class and you must put in the work accordingly, highly recommend!

Professor Sapp is a really good teacher. The lectures are very long but they explain what you need to know and learn for the exam. This class is exam heavy. There are very few assignments outside of the exams. She is responsive to emails and will answer questions that may seem outside of what is covered in class. The exams require a lockdownbrowser

Terrible experience. No opportunities for re-taking quizzes. Quiz content is unexpected and abysmal. Must read entire long chapters instead of segments. Poor communication, little participation in class. All her lectures are from 10 years ago. Nothing but a busy work course. Next to no assignments besides quizzes and exams from textbook.

Methea is super passionate about her work. She's understanding and seems to care a lot, she really does. The exams though are overwhelming. We have to memorize hours of lectures and take down several pages of notes and somehow memorize every little detail on monitored browsers. It's very daunting the amount of information you must know! Yikes!!

Exams are your entire grade. no practice. Study guides are "Learning Objectives" for each chapter. The issue is, those learning objectives have so much information regarding them, that it is tough to know what exactly what to study. Lectures are recorded at least. Doesnt teach during lab hours. be expected to bring a laptop and google

Methea was a Godsend. I knew from a second source to take her out of all SCC AP professors. Human Anatomy is a HARD class. Test heavy! Get a whiteboard when it comes to spelling. Getting a 4.0 takes 30+ hours of studying per test. Memorize those lecture slides + objectives. If you want to be a nurse, it's going to take effort! You have to WANT it.

I took Methea for AP2 as well because she is so great! Her objectives help out with the lecture tests. She has the same format from AP1 to AP2. She is always there for you especially when you need help. This class takes A LOT of your time. Lab exams are stressful but this is normal, study study study! Start studying a week before each test!

I found this class very interesting. Mrs. Sapp is genuinely passionate about her works and classes. However she is a tough grader and the quizzes are difficult. I recommend getting a Quizlet account!

we have 4 lecture tests and 4 lab exams. make sure to start studying as soon as she posts the material unlike me and you'll do good. labs are memorization and arent too hard. Biggest tip take advantage of the tutors.

AP 1 was not THAT bad. Just study and give it some effort and you will pass easily. Methea actually cares about her students and offers extra credit if a lot of people get the same questions wrong on the tests.

Overall, I love this girl. She is so caring and respectful to all of her students, the only issue I had was the exams. The tests were very heavy, but if you are a good note taker and watch every lecture, you will get a good score on the exams. She is very fair between every student and she remembers you even if you take 1 and 2 years apart.
