Horrible professor
horrible teacher
I'd rather chew my own arm off then have her as a teacher.
Worst teacher ever! She cannot communicate well with class. Score of 1 is too high.
Don't know why every thinks she is so hard! i absolutly loved her and i learned so much in her class, i think its only the mediocre students who dont like her. all students with 3.5 gpa and up that i've talked to loved her also!
I had a 4.0 until Carriger. The only good thing that I got from this instructor was the knowledge that I should always check feedback about instructors before taking their class.
She is a very good teacher. She makes sure we know the material and she helps you in anyway she can if you make an effort. Her teaching style is suited very well for adults who know that they have to apply themselves in order to get an A.
very unclear
I absolutely LOVED her! Definatly one of the best teachers on campus. She is a little tough, but if you are at school to learn adn are serious, then she is definatly a great teacher to have!!!
unclear, uneffective teaching style
Wonderful teacher!
Very unclear, anybody can read from the text. She didn't appear to be very knowledgable about anatomy. Worst communication between student and teacher I've ever had!
she rocks! good luck to her and the baby!!!!!!!!!!
She is very discouraging to good students. If you are one of the select you will be okay, otherwise you will be discouraged many times throughout the course. It is okay to expect alot from the class, but at least be nice to your students and willing to help. That is why she is there... to teach.
I learned a lot from her class. The material is kind of tough, but she takes all her test materail from her quizzes, so even if you flunk the quizzes, you can do ok on the test. I really enjoyed her class.
never again will I take any classes she teaches.
I simply think this teacher does not know how to teach. Reason: after 2 major test a new teacher came in and she simply told us (class) ok now you are on your own because she left to go have a baby and a vacation. She is not nice or helpful.
Ms. Carriger is a fun and exciting teacher. She also gives out quizzes before you take the teat,plus, she uses the same questions on the quizzes for the exam. Good teacher.
I have gained a greater respect for Biology and have enjoyed learning from her. Her teaching style is fun and effective. I would recommed others to take a class from her.
One of the best teachers at NSTCC that I have had so far.

She's such an awesome teacher. She's so funny and makes the class rather interesting. She's also very nice.
She is a funny teacher.
This is not an easy class, but she gives quizzes and for each test, which does help out alot. She does help you out, if you ask for her to do so.
She is very hateful when you ask her questions and treats her students like babies. She is not very nice or helpful.
Good instructor! I love her teaching style and why anyone would think that she is hateful is hard to understand. What-- did she make you mad in class because you did not like the way she answered your question? Grow up!!
Ms.Carriger helped to make sure that I passed Biology,even though I did not particularly like the subject. She actual helped me to understand some of the concepts!
I think Ms. Carriger is an excellent teacher.She covers the topics very thoroughly and is always willing to help.There are quizzes for each chapter but they give you a preview of the exams, so they are very helpful!She's also very funny and the class isn't as dull as I thought it would be!I would recommend her class to anyone who asked...
Does a really good job with everything she does in her class room!
Ms. Carriger cares about her students. She makes sure you thoroughly understand the subject. Lets face it, Biology is not fun. We had lots of fun and discussions in class. She made learning a good experience.
Mrs. Carriger took me aside and offered extra help when she sensed I was having trouble grasping the topic. There are a lot of teachers who are not willing to go that extra mile.
This is not an easy class and anyone taking it should be aware of that. I do feel Mrs. Carriger was very fair and an excellent teacher. I learned a lot in this class and am glad I had her as an instructor. There was rarely a dull moment. She is strict, but often this is necessary in order to maintain the integrity of the class.
Enjoyable and difficult. Mrs. Carriger was more than fair and always helpful. She does not want to waste your time. Her intent is to make use of each and every moment to better educate her class. I am glad to have had Mrs. Carriger.
Mrs. Carriger is a terrific instructor. She is helpful and extremely knowlegeable on Anatomy and Physiology, and the best part is she makes the class fun, and she keeps you engaged. I HIGHLY recommend taking her class....
I enjoyed this class with Ms. Carriger. She is a very good teacher and I like her teaching style!
She is great. Mrs. Carriger will help you a lot if you care. She is the best instructor I've had
She knows her stuff but she can get confusing at times. Her tests can be very oddly worded, and they are amazingly long. She will help, but you have to catch her and ask, she won't usually do too much in class. She also goes through the material really fast, and the pace never lets up. Lots of memorizing.
She taught me how to go about studying sciences and how to be successful. There is no more kind or sincerely concerned person at NE ,or anywhere else, than Misty Carriger. If not for her, I would have never made it in this hard science major. Yeah, she's tough, but just because she's thorough. LOVE HER!!!!!!THANK YOU, Mrs. Carriger!!!!
She is not easy, but she really works hard to help her students pass a very hard class.
her tests are too long
Unparalleled knowledge and concern for student's future. Simply the best.
Good class to take for your science elective.
I went in with a positive attitude and was ready to get this class over with. She seemed like she was more interested in talking about herself but she was interested in helping the students. I don't think that I would take her at all!
She is the most knowledgeable, interesting science teacher possible. Mrs. Carriger has a great teaching style and is very nice:)
Good teacher!
A phenomenal professor and person! Mrs. Carriger knows her subject inside out and is so willing to share her vast knowledge with students who care as much as she does. Just give it your best effort and she will do anything to assist you. Her class is tough, intensive, and enjoyable. I look back on it as my favorite time in college.
Very good teacher!
At first, I thought she was a hard professor, but later I found her to very helpful when I did not understand the concepts in Anatomy I. Study hard for this class when you take it because the class is not easy, but she will help you when you ask for help!
Good teacher
Great teacher and easy to look at-- unlike most college instructors.
Not an easy class but she is a good teacher.
One of the smartest people I have ever met, but not a great teacher. Knows her stuff but can tend to be all over the place in lecture.
Misty Carriger is the best teacher at Northeast State, hands down...and there are some GREAT teachers here. She is a terrific person and she is the reason I was successful in biology. I will never forget her and always think of her class as my best time in college.
Ms. Carriger is a great instructor.
Professor Carriger is an exceptional instructor! Enjoyed her class immensely and highly recommend taking A&P with her.
im sure some people could learn from her, but i just cant. She jumps around from subject to subject to subject, then back to the second subject. (you get the picture). she's a funny person.. but not a good teacher :/
She is extremely knowledgeable about the subject and expects her students to know the AP book in and out. Read the chapters at least twice and know the italicized and bold words well, even if they were not covered in class they will be on the exams. Good teacher if you can connect with her.
In her lectures, she is bad about wondering off to subjects that do not directing relate to what your currently learning. I don't think I would ever take her class again!!
Carriger is great! she makes a boring subject a blast. She knows how to be silly, and helpful at the same time! I would recommend her for anything. I'm horrible in any science and did really well! Awesome teacher!
Absolute horrible teacher! She knows her material well but doesn't know how to teach it to others!! She tests on material that can't be found in the book! I would never suggest taking her as a teacher to anyone! I made a good grade but struggled every bit of the way too!!
Carriger was one of the worst instructors I'd ever had! I dropped to audit the course. Her tests were too long for time allowed. I tried to discuss it with her, and she was indifferent. Other students complained about her, too. She was frequently late and rarely prepared for class. Class even had to wait 15 minutes for test copies one day.
Mrs. Carriger is an excellant teacher. I am happy with the way this course turned out and would take her again in a second. She is extremely intelligent and knows the answer to almost any question, if se does not know, she will find out and let you know. She is great
Wonderful instructor, she makes learning fun. If you can not pass her class, there is something wrong with your brain. Just study and you can pass her class.
Awful, Awful, Awful! Any class of hers you should run, run far away, no joke! This professor should seriously be fired, should have been a long time ago!!
When I first met Mrs. Carriger, I thought, "This is going to be a doozie"! I ended up liking her class and I made a B in it. Just pay attention, take good notes, go to every single class, and study, study, study! Mrs. Carriger is very, very bright but yet she can get on your level of thinking.
Mrs. Carriger is an interesting person to learn from. The class can be easy if you show up regularly since her tests are accummulation of the attendance quizzes. Make sure that you keep a copy of everything you submit. Although I'm sure it's accidental, labs have gone missing a time or two, and it's your grade that suffers!
Ms. Carriger is keeps it real in class.
Makes learning fun during class. Exams come straight from her quizzes. If you ask for help, it is always there.
Just study for exams & her quizzes and you will do fine.
Get ready to teach yourself. You will learn nothing from this woman. She is horrible and should not be allowed to teach. Tests on material not even covered in class. Treat it like an anatomy class; it is equally as difficult. Put it this way, she can call herself a teacher if she wants.. But, she is the worst professor I have ever had.
Mrs. Carriger is a horrible teacher; she has no business teaching and should be fired. When I say she is the worst professor I have ever had, I mean it. She's very vague, very unhelpful and cannot convey the subject she is trying to teach. I suggest if her name shows up on your schedule that you drop ASAP.
Great instructor...
She makes us study the book and the notes.
I absolutely loved Ms. Carriger. She's a little jumbled sometimes, but she has a lot on her plate. She knows the subject EXTREMELY well and if she does not know the answer to a question she admits to it and looks it up. If you study her quizzes you'll do just fine on her Tests. She has a good sense of humor and I always looked forward to her class
She's really cool and fun to be around. That being said, she is one of the most difficult teachers I've had because her teaching style is a train wreck. She is so ADD she can't give you one piece of information without going off on a rant about something totally off subject. Never knew what she wanted us to do
I was required to take this class as a science elective. She is funny. However, her tests are hard. She tells everyone to study the quizzes for the tests. Problem is the quiz questions aren't on the test. She gives "attendence quizzes" yet claims she doesn't grade on attendence. what a joke. You can't make them up. Just run and avoid this teacher.
I think the reason some people have issues with Mrs. Carriger is that they are simply lazy. The attendance policy is relaxed, and she only grades it based on attendance quizzes, so some don't show up and grades take a hit. She is great at relaying why a lesson relates to daily life. If you use all your resources and go to class, you'll make an A.
Extremely nice, and she knows her stuff. But she has difficulty relaying the message to the students. She would jump from subject to subject, and my notes wouldn't make any sense to me. I had perfect attendance, but still struggled to understand. The tests are pulled straight from the quizzes, though, so that's a plus.
I loved taking this class under M. Carriger. If you actually show up to class and to your lab and apply some effort- YOU will pass this class. Loved the fact that you could take the quizzes 2 times, and the test were VERY similar to the online quizzes. You are in college now, it's time to put your big pants on and be responsible.
I wouldn't suggest her to anyone but she was a decent teacher.
-Makes class very interesting, but never sure what to expect on her tests.
She has interesting real life stories but that does not help me in this lab class. She will not email or call you back & is never in her office. Her D2L content is totally useless & posts are irrelevant to what we cover. I am not lazy and have an A in lecture. If you take her, good luck. You will need it...desperately.
She is super nice!! however, she jumps from subject to subject, and she makes everything EXTREMELY difficult. This class with her has been so frustrating for me this semester. I'm taking this Biology again next semester, but not with this teacher, that's for sure.
Worst teacher I've ever Had! She was never organized, her material never matched anything we really needed to know. She would also skip around in the text to where you are always searching for what shes talking about. She knew her stuff but when she came in to teach it she would go over same stuff two days in a row!To where she never covered much
Excellent instructor! Please study for her exams!
Mrs. Carrier is a wonderful person. Unfortunately, as a teacher, she is disorganized, unclear when providing information and her quizzes are a jumbled mess. I would hang out with her, but I will never take her again...and I made it out with a B.
This was the worse teacher i have ever had... She doesn't know how to "teach". Her quizzes have too be pulled out of the air..I would NEVER recommend her to ANYONE
I have taken mrs carriger three times now by CHOICE!! (of course) I think she's wonderful. She isn't the most organized, but past that the class requires studying!! Biology has concepts most people aren't use to and she's willing to help. These classes take effort!!! You'll be fine she's wonderful! I would recommend her to the SERIOUS student!
Do not take her class. I repeat do not take her class. She is very unorganized and a bit nutty.
Ms. Carriger is by far the best teacher I had in my time at Northeast. She goes above and beyond for her students. She is energetic and full of life. You do have to work in her class if you want a good grade, but getting to know her has given me a life long friend.
She is one of the most scattered teachers I have ever had. Completely all over the place, will nevertake her again
Has to be the worst professor I have ever had. Never and I repeat Never take her class. Clarity is nonexistent, no study guides, completely disorganized, yells at students for asking questions!!! Shouldn't be allowed to teach!! Fire her!!!!!!!!!! If you have a good GPA forget it. It wont be after her class! She will fail you intentionally!!!!!
Almost time for finals and I have no idea where I stand. I am afraid it is going to kill my GPA. No study guide even though there is an immense amount of information in some chapters. Makes it too difficult to organize and maintain for tests! I cannot say I learned much in Bio 2 because I felt as if she taught way above this course level.
Honestly not happy at all! Never had a teacher not use study guides for this much information being learned. Taught over the everyone's head! Tests were insanely difficult, if you have a disability forget it! This will kill my GPA! I feel unprepared for finals due to lack of direction. Ask questions never get direct answers. Avoid if you can!
Never figured I would rate a professor, but wow after her class, Im pretty sure she is gonna fail the entire class. The thing is that its her own fault for being a horrible teacher. I wish I had known just how bad she was, I would have never taken her class. BEWARE You Will Fail!!!
Mrs. Carriger's class only seems hard if you are unprepared. She goes out of her way to explain, provide study material, and help. Her test are exactly what she says they'll be. It is a science class that requires work outside of class for success. The only people who don't like her are lazy students expecting to be spoon-fed A's.
Basically if you show up, do the quizzes and do the final project you will be fine. The online quizzes are the same exact questions that are on the test. Print the quizzes and study them for the test and you will make an A in the class.
I took Carriger for biology 1 and biology 2, she is an amazing teacher. She goes out of her way to try and help you pass the class. I did not think I was going to pass this class but she helped me so much that I had passed with a B. I would recommend anyone to take her class, she is by far the best biology teacher at Northeast State.
Carrigers class was so much fun. She made biology super easy for me. If you take the online quizzes then you will most definitely pass the exams!
Kind of disorganized. All of the lecture presentations came with the textbook. Uses widely available quiz questions instead of making up her own. Despite the insistence on learning concepts, I feel like the best way to do well is memorize the online quizzes. Not for someone looking to gain understanding of course material. Ok for easy grade.
Wonderful woman! She will help you if you just ask. Study from your quizzes and you will have no problem passing her class!
Great professor. She makes biology fun! Study the online quizzes she assigns and you'll do really well on her tests!
Mrs. Carriger is amazing!! I have LOVED taking her for Bio II. She's a little messy and you have to check her grading skills but she makes Biology interesting . Do the online quizzes and answer the study guides and you will have no problems with the exams. She won't answer "what's on the test?" but she will clearly answer specific questions.
I really like her as a person and she is really fun and interesting to talk to! She is so disorganized and jumping all over the place. Its hard to learn anything in her class.
Honestly love Carriger. Best Bio professor I have had so far. Take her and you will pass.
Shes wacky for sure but shes a good professor and you get used to the craziness. I also had her for lab and she likes everyone to work together which I dont really like but shes very thorough
Carriger is not a competent online professor. Online lectures will be broken and missing, with problems such as not having sound for an entire chapter's worth of lecture, or only posting 1/3 of the chapter's lecture. The lectures she does get to are riddled with small inaccuracies and spelling errors. Avoid at all costs, or at least take in-person
Prof Carriger is a brilliant biology professor. She is very knowledgeable about her topics and is extremely hilarious. If you take her for 1120, get ready to hear the word "anus" all semester LOLOLOL. I learned so much in her class and would recommend her to anyone. I would take her class again for sure.
Misty is such a great caring teacher! She really cares about her students and how successful you are. Pay attention in lecture and study the quizzes and you will be fine!
Misty is an extremely kind and caring professor who gives fantastic feedback. I have her for duel enrollment A&P 1 and she is very straight-forward with the way she teaches. She is always open to taking questions and giving great feedback on test, assignments, and open discussion. Overall Misty is a great teacher and I am fortunate to have her.
Misty is an amazing Professor and caring person. She is very understanding and always makes me smile. Her goofy personality makes her fun to listen to and easy to understand. If given the opportunity I would take her class again.
Generally difficult to ask questions and communicate to. Strict policies, and boring word heavy lectures lead me almost to falling asleep every class. She has strange, and often untrue, anecdotes about the past that often add nothing to the class except for distraction.
