very efficient!!! a lot of people got an A in her class!!! *take note* those people who doesnt like her probably didnt study enough or just did not put time to study! students needs to earn it to get an A!!! but seriously - she gives all the essay questions and good study outlines for the exams...who will do that for students?! so good luck on thos

Prof C is an awesome teacher It is an extremely easy A, just read the notes and complete the practice tests. She tries her best to help you understand the material. It is not an easy class, but with time nad effort you can not fail.

I disgree w/some of these neg. comments. I was at ELAC for 3 years, now at UCLA. She prepared me 4 the HARD college courses i am taking now. She helps U if YOU ASK HER! Thats what college is about anyway,taking INITIATIVE! She's clear, concise,&helpful. She doesn't want 2 baby you, she wants you to learn on your own! She's a GREAT prof. in my book!

SHE IS NICE TO ALL THE STUDENTS. SHE GIVES OUT STUDYGUIDE. SHE WILL TELL YOU WHAT TO STUDY. A LOT OF EXTRA CREDITS. SHE IS MY FAVOURITE PROFESSOR. SHE IS ORGANIZED. YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THE POWERPOINTS BEFORE CLASS. SHE IS THE BEST......^_^

Super professor! Wonderful person. Very interested in student's success. DOES NOT SPOONFEED! Well, maybe a little. Gave very precise study guides and notes. ALL notes available online. Very helpful with the labs. Overall, it was a real pleasure to be in her class

This is one of the warmest teachers you'll ever meet out there. She really does truly care about students passing and doing well. Everything is provided for students to get at the very least a B. But definitely an EASY EASY A!!!

The best teacher I've had in a LONG time. Nothing is handed on a silver platter... oh wait, yeah it is! She gives you the questions for all the tests in advance and welcomes questions. I've NEVER seen effort like this from a teacher before so if you got anything under an A, don't blame her, just show up and open the book once in a while. No excuse

she explains things well and in simple terms but her tests are wordy and complicated. you HAVE to read and scrutinize the book. she is nice and will offer extra credit.

Most of these neg. comments must be people who failed or were looking for the easy way out. Teaching skills may need tweaking, HOWEVER, out of several professors @ ELAC, she offers the MOST help and is understanding. Most professors are lazy, un-interested, rude, and hardly helpful. She's not. FYI: almost every1 uses POWERPOINT!

I dunno why all these people are trippin' on her. The course is hard..NO****! IT'S PHYSIO so if you want something kickback don't take her, just drop outta school.Those who want to learn you will with her case studies, plenty of extra cr. offered. she is nice down 2 earth & is committed to help her students. She is an awesome teacher!

notes can be downloaded, lab ez, exams hard, lectures interesting,very knowledgable on topics, this is a class for ppl who r serious about wking medicine if you want the ez way out dont take her. great teaching skills, lab is good can b done 4 hw, LOTS of ec avail.

Great instructor. This class isn't for the week. Take this class if you want to learn something

awesome professor.. shes very helpful... amazingly smart and fun to talk to.. she gives study guides for all her lecutre exams that are the tests word for word.. u have to be an idiot or slow to not pass her class... lab practicums are pretty clear.. just do the study guides and you'll do fine

she gave extra points on tests and let you drop an exam if you don't miss any class. nice prof. to take.

She is the best at explaining things so that everyone understands. She's also very young, and pretty cool, but can fly off the handle and yell at the whole class at any given moment. I recommend her to anyone who is new to bio or is having trouble grasping the concepts.

She is well organized. Exams are staright from the text book, ( word for word). Gives study guides. She takes lab exmas if you go agianst her policy.Takes time to explain.

Not an easy teacher, But one of the best. She can prepare anyone for nursing school she legit proud to have been in her class.

Very knowledgeable and well organized young professor. Yet, she lacks compassion to students, except to her sister, and her certain "exam rules" are annoying. She is an admirable instructor but she won't be respected by students unless she changes her attitude and harshness.

These negative comments are from students that want the easy road out. This professor is the best I have ever had. She is helpful and extreamly clear. If you are looking for an easy A, she is not the teacher. However, if you are looking to learn information that will last a life time.Please take her! Note:a B in her class is like an A in another

She's really strict...If you're late, she wont let u do the test. Her test's not really hard if you study. She's nice and willing to help students

Its HYSTERICAL some of these negative comments. Want the easy "A"? Take Noice (he could care less) or Kingsley (he lets you cheat). WantREAL COLLEGE PREPARATION Esp for nursing/bio degrees? TAKE HER! EC opps, willing/tries to help if approached, and by far is opposite of what the "ELAC TEACHERS" stereotype is; You EARN your grade, as it should be.

I don't understand the negative comments here. She's very organized with notes [it's true you probably won't need textbook though]. Great with lecture and explanations, great notes w/ helpful animation. Test on solid facts, no trick questions. Not hard to get A as long as you attend every class and listen, since her grading's pretty easy.

Oh cry me a river. I am taking her right now and she is super clear!! She lets me review what I got wrong on exam and goes over anything that I need help on. She is awesome, she just doesn't tolerate LAZINESS. So far she by far is the best science teacher I have ever had.

To clarify, she is a good professor who is teaching difficult subject matter. Yes, she's very specific in her instructions-any deviation is frowned upon. But, she does leave the door open. While her office hrs, I believe are not convenient for most, one must remember she has a life too. Basically, she will equip you well in terms of the material.

Just by the question you asked, getting let out early. Don't enroll in her class!!will never leave early if anything stay longer. Hardcore professor, doesn't toleralte nothing so look elsewhere

Prof Canales is one of the BEST professors I've had at ELAC. She is always willing to answer your questions and wants her students to learn. She is NOT easy; you WILL have to work extremely hard. BUT physiology is one of the most important classes to prep you for med, nursing and pharm school, so why would you NOT want to learn in this class?

Just memorize the online quizzes and pre write out and memorize the essay questions and you will do great! She explains everything very clearly. Takes months to return grades,and is never available for office hours. Overall she is really nice and helpful.

Just study her online notes and memorize/master the case study questions!! She is very helpful and will pretty much give you the answers to the essay questions if you make the time to see her, which most peole don't. Best science teacher I ever had. You learn so much from her plus++ you'll remember everything since she drills it in you.

Took her during summer. It was hard work, you had to read a lot but her test were easy if you took your time to figure things out(she posted a lot of help/examples online.) Not lenient with missing tests or late work. Make sure you can invest time! Overall not a hard professor, you can totally pass. It was Bio in the summer, and I totally made it!

Awesome professor. Her class is tough, but she's very helpful. She gives study guides that make the tests super easy.. I'd recommend her to anyone and everyone

We are in the last wk of our winter sesh in bio---GREAT PROF! Enforces respectful/mature behavior and her learning policies are SUPER CLEAR. Yeah, uses powerpt, tests are challenging, but her teaching skills are on point with 4-year university expectations (I'm a UC student--taking this class to finish faster). Def. recommend!

Very easy class, but strict professor. Sometimes she spends most of the class talking about her life, like Tyra Banks. Study off of the online quizzes and short answers because everything there is on the exam, and I can guarantee you will get an A.

Excellent professor! Makes Biology very interesting. Presents information in an engaging manner. You will learn a lot from her class. She provides a good deal of reference material to help you in your studies. However, she is strict with attendance and does not allow test make-ups. Be on time and be prepared and you will do well.

Great teacher! Just pay attention and take good notes!Make sure you do all the labs and if u have any questions ASK!Dont wait until the last min to do PLATO!The multiple choice section of her test consist of moodle and its really easy!Go to her office hours!

You'll work hard for that A. Hardest class I took at Elac. About half the students dropped the class. But getting that A is doable. Study practice questions and her lectures. Not all exams have questions from the practice exams. Whether or not she makes up most of the exam questions probably depends on how well the class is doing. EC are on exams.

Took it over the summer last year and enjoyed it because it wasn't boring. Attendance was mandatory because you can go off her notes for the tests. Do the homework, practices, labs, and plato. Don't wait until the end. She'll help you if you have questions. And read ahead. It was some work, but I got an A.

Fantastic Professor!! She explains concepts so well that one year later I still can talk about them. This is the professor to have expecially if you want to get in the medical field. Foundation is key and she is the BEST!

Challenging class, but being in college it's supposed to be, right? Missed a few classes which could be irritating, but teachers have lives too so it happens. She's helpful, clear. Things posted online (lectures, etc) but no biggie cause ALL my classes post info online. FYI: In this class you EARN your grade, it's not "extra credit" handed to you.

I had Prof. Canales for Summer.Demanding workload, very specific, and overall rewarding. Best Physiology teacher on campus period...If you want to learn and retain something, take her. She might be difficult, but if you pass her class you will definitely have learned something about the human body.

She was a bit ridiculous in her policy and talks about her life a little bit too much. Nobody cares about your baby. She's a control freak and is anal about everything. But her lectures are clear and straighforward and she does prepare you for her tests well.

She demands a lot out of you but you can tell she really cares about her students. She understands that ppl have lives outside of class so shes very accommodating when it comes to assignments and exam rescheduling. As long as you keep up with the ciriculum youll be fine. Overall, shes a good professor and I would definitely take her again.

Professor Canales is a very caring professor. Don't be afraid to ask her questions. She will answer them no matter what and will give a clear explanation. She's pretty funny too and very interactive with her students so I would highly recommend her. Just respect her, and she will do the same.

Professor Canales is one of the best professors I've had at elac. She really is one of those profs who will change your life. Very great lectures, super understanding with her class, and very motivating. She provides so many resources that guide you to success. You can tell she's very passionate about what she does.

She is so knowledgeable, inspirational, and truly wants the best for her students. She wants you to succeed, you just need to want it too. She will work with you, you just need to communicate. She is open to students requests and is there when you have a question. She will spend time with you to make sure you understand. She is THE best!

One of the best professors I have had so far. She is very caring, gives good feedback, motivates you. If you need help don't be afraid to ask, she will help you. She is inspirational. Easy exams if you study. Her lectures can get heavy at times, but take notes, read the slides she provides, read the book, do the study guides and you will pass!

Professor Canales is the best professor I have taken in college! Physiology is such a difficult and complicated subject but her lectures are very clear and you actually learn. She tells you exactly what will be on the exam and all you have to do is study. She takes attendance everyday, theres a group project, online quizes and lots of homework.

The best and tough professor I have ever had. She expects a lot of each student because she truly cares about your career goals. She gives a lot of work and a lot of reading. Her lectures are detailed but you have to read the book too. Her exams are right of lecture notes and things she has mention. This class was a lot of work but i love it.

Her class can be hard but you know you will learn a lot. Lectures tend to be heavy and overwhelming. There is a group presentation which I suggest prepare as soon as you can, dont wait even a week ahead. She is willing to help out students as much as possible. This is not an easy A class, you have to really study and work for that grade.

Great professor. This is not an easy A class. If you want to really learn Physio take Prof. C. Would recommend to take advantage of office hours and to get started on the case study ASAP. Tests are 1/2 MC (quizzes & HW) and 1/2 free response (she gives hints on what will come on the exams), offers EC. Final is heavy and cumulative, but manageable.

Do not take this class in the summer! I have so much respect for Professor Canales. She can teach, but don't think that because its 5 wks that she lets you slack off on HW and quizes and exams. We started the semester sprinting. Her teaching materials involve, PP, whiteboard notes, and Mc Graw hill connect. You will be assigned a group ass.

Attend class, take notes, do study guides, and study some more, you will pass! Amazing Professor who knows what they are teaching. A true educator! You must attend every class, it moves fast and you will fall behind quickly. Gives extra credit on test. For lecture the majority of text is multiple choice. The study guides were helpful. STUDY

Don't be too intimidated by Prof Canales - Bio003 is a LOT of material (some of it is tough) but she has a lot of tests and quizzes that help you make up a missed or failing assignment. TALK TO HER OUTSIDE OF CLASS, and STUDY and you will get an A. Her quizzes have most/all of the material on the tests, so keep tabs on your quiz material.

she was my lab teacher of my first course and was able to add me to her abridged class when the first class fell apart when the lecture professor went off the syllabus she was very patient and willing to slow down if you didn't fully get something and go over it and simplify it

I took her winter online course, and it was pretty easy and straight forward, she is very understanding and gives straight feedback, it was a lot of work, but manageable. I would definitely recommend taking her class!
