Naomi is the best teacher I've had at BC. She gives tough exams. Be prepared to do a lot of studying. I would recommend Naomi to any students doing their program prereqs. She has a lot of insight into how her class will help you prepare for your programs. She has a wonderful personality that is not only motivating but also inspiring!

Naomi is without a doubt one of the best teachers at BC, probably the best, the down side is that now I see how much skill other teachers I currently have lack off. It's quite disappointing really, the fact that BC doesn't offer super high quality teaching for all the classes the college offers, like Naomi provides her students with.

Naomi is well organized and the grading criteria is very clear. You get tested on exactly what she says you will so time spent studying can be very focused. Do not fall behind in this class, If you are good with your time management then this should be an easy "A" for you.

Take A&P series with her. She's the best!!! I learned a lot in her class. If you can spend 3 hours everyday to watch her lecture and study her note. You will get an A!!!

Professor Jones runs a structured class with clear grading criteria. Expect challenging exams, but with dedicated studying using resources like unstuck ai, this can be a rewarding experience. Attendance is mandatory, so stay engaged.

Teaches very well, extremely lecture heavy but labs are incredibly interesting. Prelabs are required, quite a few small quizzes leading up to exams but she does create a complete notesheet about everything she covers over the course and teaches according to the notesheet. Very nice and helpful teacher.

Professor Jones is one of the best professors at Bellevue college. I took her for microbiology and A and P 1. Although I am not the best student and these courses are extremely difficult she really wants you to succeed. Watching the lecture videos and studying the notes are key to success in this class.

Nice professor but a hard and crammed class, almost felt like a weeder class with the amount of work. First half of quarter is pretty easy but gets extremely crammed at the end where in March we were doing almost 3 units at once with an exam every week. She provides lots of resources for studying but is still the hardest class I've taken at BC

Naomi might be Bellevue College's best kept secret. I have had several outstanding professors here at BC. Within the first week of her class, I knew she was among the best of the best. By the end of the quarter, she was easily THE BEST prof I've taken. The number of extra resources she provides is so above and beyond! You'll learn so much from her!

One of the best professors I've ever had. Super engaging and clearly cares about her students actually understanding/retaining difficult A&P concepts. She provides SO MANY resources to help make the material more digestable and truly gives you everything you need to succeed, as long as you use the resources and engage with the content frequently.

I feel like the exams are so incredibly hard and the stuff you learn in lecture does not cover the depth of the questions at all. They are very tricky and cover far above what you actually learn. I have had better professors, completely unnecessary test difficulty, study guide doesn't prepare you either. I wouldn't take her again.

By far the best professor I have ever had, and it's not even close. She provides a TON of extra resources, and if you use them and keep up with all of the lectures, you'd have to try to fail. That being said, it's a fast-paced class that covers a lot of ground, so stay on top of it! Tests are tough, but they're always on stuff that's been covered.

If you are taking A&P 1 or 2 I would highly recommend Naomi. She is seriously the best science professor I've had and really cares about what you have going on. She takes her time when explaining things and gives you all the resources you could need. She reaches out to you if she notices something off in your attendance, etc. Just a great person!

If you are getting ready to take A&P 1 or 2 most def take it with Naomi. She is such an awesome person—who cares about what you have going on and will do her best to help you succeed in her class. I had to retake A&P 1 twice due to personal circumstances and Naomi always encouraged and knew I could excel in that class before even I did.

She is nice professor, but if you want credit, More carefully consider taking her. There are lot of stuff you have to remember and study! Also she's Exam is pretty difficult and she only gives few extra credit. In addition, the grading on written responses is really harsh. I taked this class with another hard lac classes so it wasn't easy to handle

I would never take her again. She's a very tough grader. The class itself is difficult, but still easier than A&P. There are no extra credits, and to get a good grade she expects you to know everything perfectly. She explains the material, but her quizzes and exams drop your grade every time.

This class is MUCH harder than expected. The material is an extremely advanced course, and the notes are long & overwhelming. The level doesn't match the syllabus or typical 260 standards. Be prepared for a very heavy, fast-paced workload. Course violates WA Bio standards. This class made me want to become an alcoholic. Don't be fooled by the rates
