Dr. Maddox is such a charismatic woman and wants all her students to do well. However, there isn't much motivation to complete classwork, so it was hard to become motivated to actually learn the material and study for exams. If you can get by with your own motivation, take her! But if not I would recommend another lab professor for sure.

Dr. Maddox is a kind soul. However, kindness does not make a great A&P instructor. From day one, she was unprepared to teach the class, and by the last day very little had changed. She needs to sit through A&P with those who normally teach the class so that she can understand the pacing of instruction as well as what material is most important.

Some times her lectures may be confusing but if you ask for help she will clear everything up and make sure you understand it. You have to work for the grade because it is anatomy after all. She is by far the best professor I have had at KSU.

Her exams were very easy, you just had to study from the lab manual and the diagrams. She provided extra help during exam week and they helped so much. You could only miss 2 days of lab or you would automatically fail and there was only 1 extra credit assignment given out. Overall, very nice and respectful!

Dr. Maddox is absolutely amazing. She really wants students to make an effort to meet her and she's really easy to talk to. She does have really long powerpoints and all of the information in them isn't always necessary. She puts lots of resources on D2L to help study. As long as you go to class, go through the things she puts online you'll be ok.

Dr. Maddox is the best professor! She genuinely cares about her students, encourages us, and wants us to succeed. Gives audio exam review that directly preps for each exam. Lecture is very helpful and engaging. 2-3 homework assignments per chapter but they were doable. Extra credit offered various classes (had 50 points by the end of the semester).
