Very clear in teaching, always available to help, very friendly
one of the best and helpful, very smart lady
Pat was the nicest teacher. Biology is a tough subject and she made it clear and really helped you out to pass the tests. She explained everything in a way that someone could understand that had no clue about the subject. Take her you will be happy.
As a returning non-traditional student Biology was a struggle for me. Pat was great. Her assignments were reasonable and she wants to help her students. She is a good teacher to take for you non-science majors.
she is smart, (Doctor Dillon)sweet and very clear when she explains the material. Her voice is very soothing. i would recomend her to anyone taking bio 111
If you don't like Science take her because you will understand it when you leave her class because she teaches like you know nothing. Because of that you will grasp it a lot easier!!!!
she's awesome. very down to earth and aproachable. she makes the class interesting and helps you understand how to apply the information you learn. she's fair also. her sence of humor and cheery disposition made a potentially horrifying class bearable.. and you don't really need to buy an A&P book.
there is nothing to say but the best,best,best,best,best,got to stop but really she is the best.chuck
Pat is a GREAT teacher. She makes Bio tolerable for non-science majors. Very helpful & understanding. Gives lots of quizzes which helps your overall grade and retention of material. EXCELLENT! Highly recommend to everyone!
Hey If I got an A you can 2, just take Pat Dillon!
Awesome teacher everyone should take a class with her if they can.
def. a sweetheart... cares bout her students... makes everythin very clear n makes sure everyone understands a topic before goin onto the next..def. recommend her!!!!!!!!!
nicest teacher in the world, and also one of the easiest teachers i ever had. Tells you everything you need to know on the tests and it almost impossible to not hav a 100 quiz avearge
She explains the most and clarifies the best of all the anatomy teachers...take her, but register early because she fills up fast!
She was an excellent teacher. Subject matter is difficult but she teaches it the best way possible. She's is extremely helpful and easy to talk to.
I would recommend that you take her, because she is very helpful and i think she is the best!
She's great. Overall, Bio 111 is difficult. Studying is a must, but Dillon is awesome. Cares about her students & puts a lot of effort into teaching!
Dillon makes bio interesting,shes very intellegent,loves her students,answers all questions.very fair quizs every week,awsome teacher,the best ive had in bcc.
Love Love Loveee Pat Dillion..the best bio teacher out there! you really dont need the book..just study what she goes over in class and you will be fine :-)
Excellent instrcutor. Makes sure you understand. Regularly verifies comprehension of class. Handouts are very helpful. She wants her students to do well.
Prof Dillon is excellent! She speaks clear and at a reasonable pace. Gives great quiz and test reviews. I would not have passed this class with any other instructor!
pat dillon is the rock star of A&P. She is personable and understanding, and she has a sense of humor. One of my top 3 fav instructors at BCC by far.
Pat Dillion is a great teacher. Explains this very clearly! Definitely would recommed taking her for biolgy!
Prof Dillon is organized, prepared and knowledgeable! She answers questions via email or after class. She works hard to help students understand material. Highly recommended!
Excellent
Everything is well explained, prior to taking weekly quizes you get practice questions which help you better understand the material you just learned. A Definate teacher to have when taking a science course.
Professor Dillion is an amazing teacher! She is extremely intelligent, she's very passionate in what she does! She will help her students with any question at anytime! Anatomy is a difficult class but she tries VERY hard to help everyone! She is very nice, her lessons are organized and crystal clear! By far one of the best teachers I've had!!
Very enthusiastic about topics which makes it easier to pay attention and learn new things.
Dillon is an EXCELLENT prof & a genuinely good person. She explains everything very thoroughly and her tests are straightforward. At times the material is difficult to understand, but you should get an A if you put in study time & hard work.
SHES REALLY NICE & HELPFUL. THE CLASS WAS HARD BUT SHE'S THE ONLY TEACHER THAT CAN MAKE SENSE OF IT
She is a sweetheart. Keep in mind, she is a great teacher, but you need to put in the effort.What a breath of fresh air. Last semester had to drop out of Templeton's class, I am glad I got to take her. I say take her course if you can.
If you have to take anatomy,Professor Dillon is the only choice!!! She is always willing to help you and trust me, you will need the help at least once this class is very difficult! But prof. dillon made it bearable!
NICE TEACHER VERY EASY I THINK TOO EASY TO BE TEACHING A&P.VERY SLOW IN TEACHING DIDN'T COVER ALL THE MATERIAL...TOO MUCH SPOON FEEDING AND IF UR NOT LUCKY TO GET HER BACK FOR A&P 2 UR SCREWED! I THINK SHE IS WAY OVER RATED IF U REALLY NEED TO KNOW A&P TO DO WELL IN MICRO TAKE CROWDER IF NOT, AND U JUST NEED THE CREDITS DILLON IS THE WAY TO GO!
I had her for A&P 2 and she is the best. She doesn't get a chance to cover everything but most professors don't. She makes sure her class understands each and everything she teaches. She goes mostly off of her notes on angel and her lecture. If you show up to class and pay attention its a solid B at worst if you study its an A.
amazing teacher. learned a lot. i wish i had her for 111.
She is the best Bio teacher, extremely helpful and clear I wish I had her for 111, I really learned a lot
Professor Dillon is a phenominal teacher. The only problem is that it's hard to want to come to class, knowing she has all of her notes posted on ANGEL. she takes her time giving class notes and makes sure everyone understands before moving on to the next topic. I'd suggest her to anyone taking A&P!
I am currently taking her class and not passing. She offered to meet me a couple of times before our next test to help me.
She is a great teacher, but you still have to put in the work. If you think you are just going to get by its not happening. If it wasn't for her, the whole Anatomy Department would be awful.
Excellant teacher!! All of her notes are on Angel. She posts questions for you to answer. They really help you understand the material. Wish I would of had her for Bio 112!!
had her for bio 111&112 & shes amazing! loves to teach and is a very nice lady, this class is extremely difficult and she just does an incredible job at explaining things and takes her time to make sure everyone gets it. she acknowledges that the material is hard for us. wouldnt of passed if i didnt have her! recommend her strongly
She is a great Professor very helpful. she put all her notes on angel I took her for bio 111 and i will be taking her again in the fall for 112. She is Awsome
Professor Dillon is the kindest, smartest, clearest professor you could ever want. She truly cares about her students and bends over backwards to be fair and giving of her time. Can't say enough good things about her. Tip - register early because everyone wants to take Anatomy with her.
Took Dr. Dillon for A&P II. She's amazing. She's so knowledgeable, and is really great at teaching difficult material. She is always willing to lend her help/support. Just ask her! It is evident that she wants her students to succeed.
amazing teacher! very helpful
Professor was all over the place. Wouldn't recommend her. Beginning of semester taught slow for first exam. After that was cramming everything, and wasn't able to understand material being taught. Doesn't like when students ask questions.
Professor Dillon is a great teacher! I had her for Bio 111 and Bio 112. Bio 111 was a little bit easier than Bio 112, in my opinion. I got a B+ in 111, and currently waiting for my grade in 112. In order to succeed in her class make sure you study for the weekly quizzes and keep up with the material. She is willing to help you!!! Very nice lady!
She was great, I loved her class. She post class notes, and practice questions on Angel, and she really helps you as much as possible. She is one of the best in the Biology dept. I will be taking her again for 112, she is that awesome!!
Professor Dillon is the sweetest most caring professor. She really makes sure we get the work and tells us which questions to study for the weekly quizzes. I am really bad in biology and she makes it fun and easy to understand! I recommend this professor to anyone taking anatomy!
Dillon is the best teacher ever!!! She makes you want to come to class, gives weekly quizzes, practice questions/ study guides, and makes the class fun!! Just because she's easy it doesn't mean you can cut class or not study! She's the best Anatomy and Physiology teacher I've ever had
She is the best teacher I've ever had! Proffesor Dillon is so very helpful. She gives quizes once a week but if you study her practice questions they are super easy. Everything is explained easily to understand fully and if there is confusion she helps you through. Bottom line...TAKE HER!! You won't regret it.
Prof Dillon takes a difficult subject and organizes it wonderfully to help students do well. Plus, she has a great temperament. Total sweetheart.
Prof Dillon should win an award for the most sweetest person ever. I loved her i took her for bio 111 and 112. i'm graduating in the fall, she will def be one of the most missed prof.
Out dated teaching style. Rambles on about things that do not matter which leads to complete confusion. Granted this isn't an easy course, but to me she made it so much worse. The only saving grace is her the notes online. If you study that you can get a B.
Prof Dillon is a very sweet and kind individual. When i took her class I thought it would be great. But, she makes things more confusing then they already seem. She complicates the words on the test and her quizzes are decent but when the test come its WHAT THE ? she gave notes till two days before the test. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND HER.
She is an amazing teacher. She really breaks everything down and won't move on if you do not understand the material. If you go to class, study her review questions, and follower her study guide you are going to do extremely well in her class. Don't think you will get an A if you don't put in the work. A&P is not an easy course.
Prof. Dillon is an excellent teacher. She really explains the material very well and won't move on if you do not understand. You just have to go to her class (quizzes are every week) and study her study guide you will have a great grade in her class.
Sweet lady, but not much of a teacher. Ask her a question and she doesn't know more than what she puts on the board. If you don't understand what she's saying at first or answer wrong in class, she can respond in ways that are cluelessly offensive and really put you on the spot. That said I got an A but it was a slog to just stay awake.
One of the best teachers at BCC. She truly was amazing in teaching anatomy and physiology.
Professor Dillon was such a sweet woman and I will truly miss her and her class. She explains how the quizzes are made up and gives a review sheet for the tests. Her tests are tough, so study or ask questions. She rewords them in a way that can be confusing. She always had a smile on her face and lecture is short. Practicals I received 100s.
Very good, lectures at a slow pace to ensure you understand the material, but not tech savvy so if you're used to power point notes posted or online resources, this is not the instructor for you. Weekly quizzes useful to make sure you understand as the course progresses. Overall, a very nice person, thorough instructor, old fashioned resources.
Professor Dillion is just the best. She's very approachable and she provides typed notes and practice questions so you can follow along. Her tests are hard, but you learn so much from her and the material she presents !
She is a genius! Explains things so well! If your not interested in Biology, you will be if you take her!
She rules. Straight up.
she is so excited about the subject, that she makes it interesting & makes you want to know more. Her grading is very clear cut. you know exactly what is expected of you. weekly quizzes & study guides are very helpful.
Love her!! She makes the class very interested and tests are very easy if you take notes. When you miss a class, be sure to make up the notes. Very sweet lady, one of the best professors I've had here at bdale.
Great teacher that made a hard class easy. There were 3 tests, 4 practicals and 10 quizzes. Gave typed notes and practice questions for each chapter. Quizzes were 10 questions and given every week. They were easy and great for not falling behind. Gave clear study guides for each test. Used many real life examples in lecture and kept it interesting.
Prof. Dillon is hands down the best teacher at BCC. Takes her time in explaining material and didn't need a textbook. Though there are 3 tests she adds extra credit to them to assure you pass. Grades are always posted quickly. Def recommend her for any BIO class.
Patricia is a great professor. Her lectures are Informative and she gives out study guides for every chapter. Read them. They help tremendously for each weekly quiz. Tests are right from the guides, if you read them, go over the quizzes and study notes, you should have no problem getting a good grade.
THE BEST PROFESSOR AT BDALE. A really balanced individual. Probably should be a doctor or a professor at a research school like Rutgers getting paid a lot. Very knowledgable, approachable, kind person. Isn't very outlandish but has a funny sense of humor. I go to class and enjoy learning. The material is hard to grasp. I give her a A+
Incredible. Extremely thorough. Very organized. Very put together. Writes notes on the board. Lectures are clear. Gives You Outlines of the Chapters & Practice Questions. Weekly Quizzes based on Practice Questions. Tests are Fair: Study the PractQues & Study Guide! Grades assignments & exams immediately. Passionate about A&P! Very sweet & bubbly.
Her teaching style didn't work for me. Mostly taught by writing things on the board. Gave out practice questions & study guides. The quizzes were alright; based off the practice questions but tests were very loosely based off the study guides. I felt as if I was all over the place when it came time to study for tests with all the handouts&packets.
Professor Dillon is great. She writes on the board, gives you notes and very organized. Each week there is a quiz on what you learned the previous week. It seems really bad, but will soon see that it is extremely beneficial to your success in the class overall. She wants you to do well, which shows when she is giving a lecture. You will love her!!
She is GREAT!!! Print the Powerpoint slides before class, highlight and note impt info. Weekly Quizes, a midterm, oral presentation, and final. At the end of class each week, the Prof. will write words on the board for the upcoming Quiz, write them down and study! A few worksheets are given (but not mandatory) to help prepare for the quiz.
BEST PROFESSOR. If I could take professor Dillon for every class I would. She's the sweetest woman ever and she really loves what she does. She makes a tough subject enjoyable and easier to understand. She gives practice questions and study guides. I took her for 111&112. Definitely need to study in both classes but tests in 112 were much harder.
AWESOME bio professor ! I struggled so much in BIO111, She made BIO112 super easy ! she gives extra credit on exams (which could be groups in your extra credit project) her quizzes are exactly what is on the study guide. Which she hands out each chapter as you go. very very very caring ! Definetly want to get into this class early, gets filled fast
Amazing Prof!! She knows what she's talking about. Very clear on the exams. Weekly quizzes, but she give you the material. She give notes on each lecture which are up on canvas and she also writes more notes in class as well. very helpful. loved this class. recommend taking her.
best prof she is so sweet and really wants to you pass. She offers extra credit and drops 2 lowest quiz grades.
She is a great lecturer, very clear with the material she expects you to know. Gives you practice questions that set you up for the exams based on the lecture notes. Just go to class and pay attention and you will do well!
This is my second time taking A and P 1 because my first professor was difficult and hard to understand. Professor Dillion made me actually understand the material and summarizes the lectures online as well as adding practice questions which helps with the quizzes. Very nice lady and highly recommend her you will not be disappointed!
Dillon is by far the best and easiest A&P professor. Her lectures are right to the point and there are quizzes once a week to make sure you are on top of studying (extremely helpful). Her exams are an easy A. Would take her any chance I get.
Awesome professor! One of the if not THE BEST professor at Brookdale. Prof Dillon is truly passionate about helping you learn. There's a reason her classes are usually waitlisted. Lectures are a must! She has a great, simple style of teaching sometimes difficult material. She breaks it down so you can understand it. Caring, devoted, kind, fun.
Great teacher! Lover her! Helpful, organized, accessible, clear. I would take her for every class if I could! Her lectures are clear. She gives outlines ahead of time on canvas, so you can prepare for lecture if you choose. Exams are a bit tough, but if you study, attend lectures, takes notes, etc. you'll do well. I highly recommend her.
Prof. Dillon is absolutely the best teacher. For a harder class like A&P, she makes it SO clear and makes sure every student understands what she's teaching! I took a different teacher for 111, and wish I took it with her. She makes hard material very understandable and if you're interested in anatomy and biology she makes it fun as well!
She is a good professor, but is very pretentious. If she does not like you, she will respond to any of your questions as if you're lesser. It's even noted by other students that she speaks down to you. I took her for A&P 2, and she took her time with Unit 1, and then rushed Units 2 and 3. Study guides for every quiz and test.
Professor Dillon is one of the best teachers at Brookdale, especially in the biology department. Her lectures are so concise and very very understandable and clear and she makes you be able to visualize and really internalize everything youre learning. The tests are for sure tricky, but if you take thorough notes, pay attention, and really take this class seriously you will pass with flying colors- especially with the help of Professor Dillon. She truly wants her students to succeed and you can see how passionate she is about her field and teaching! Definitely take this professor if you have the chance; you wont regret it.
She is such amazing teacher. I had her for Biol111 and I loved the way she explained the material that I took her again for Biol112. Dillon makes it so easy to understand. Not only does she post notes for each chapter online but then she goes into greater detail in class. She is so easy to get in touch with outside of class
Prof. Dillon is THE most amazing professor I have ever had. I transferred from a very well known university and all of those professors that I've had there don't even match up to Dillon. She cares about her students, her lectures are interesting & knowledgable, an awesome biology class to take with a fantastic professor.
Professor Dillon is really great! She is so clear and specific and will prepare you thoroughly for exams! Pay attention in class and you'll do great! Tough class in general, but she makes it doable!
One of the best professors at Brookdale, Professor Dillon really cares about seeing you progress. Total sweetheart, explains clearly. You gotta read and memorize a alot but seriously, If you wanna pass, you will. Totally take her
Tests and quizzes are very straight forward. Study and pay attention you will do great.
I love professor Dillon!! She is hands down the best professor I've taken at Brookdale. She goes into depth in all her lectures and makes it as easy as she possibly can. I took her for A&P 1 and registered for her again for A&P 2. If you have a question email her she will answer ASAP and help you as best as she can.
There are not enough words to describe how great of a Professor she is! I had her for BIO111 & BIO112. I am surely going to miss her GREATLY. If you attend class and pay attention to her awesome lectures, you will do great. Her lectures are SUPER interesting, and I love her teaching style; no powerpoints, all hand written on the whiteboard.
Professor Dillon is an amazing professor BUT i feel like her notes aren't enough for her exams. She is very hard but always gives chances fo extra credit on quizzes. Her exams are sooo hard no matter how much you pay attention or how good your notes are i feel like they're always different than what you study.
Biol112, Anatomy & Physiology II, is a tough course. Fortunately Professor Dillon is extremely knowledgeable, *organized*, and passionate about the subject matter. I didn't need the textbook, as the class notes and the notes that she posts on Canvas were detailed enough. I can't imagine having a different professor. She was very thorough and clear.
Prof Dillon is such a kind women who truly cares about her students. Tests were never the same as the material we studied, so it requires extra effort but she posts detailed notes in canvas of each chapter. She offers extra credit that helps boost exam grades! Very organized and knowledgeable!
OMG! How and where do i start? Instructor Dillon is an EXCELLENT teacher. She communicates clearly, super organized. Taking quizzes each week kept me on point for the major exams, super helpful. She gave us the opportunity to earn extra credit if we participate in SCIENCE LECTURES. Very cultivated, i appreciate every second spent in her class <3 <3
The best!!! Wish I could have her for all my classes. Definitely recommend for Anatomy lecture!! Will do anything to help all students succeed!!
If you are taking anatomy, I highly suggest professor Dillon for both I & II. She makes the material easy to understand and her quizzes once a week prepare you very well for the big exams. She is very invested in the material and makes it super interesting, she does her best to allow the students to relate to the concepts as we go over them.
I absolutely love professor dillon!! she makes the material so easy to understand. overall anatomy is a hard class. I will be taking her next semester. Thank you :)
I was scared to take anatomy and physiology online, but this class was super easy. a little time consuming but if you want it youll devote the time. All lectures are recorded for you to watch as many times as you want, practice quizzes are posted, she posts weekly questions that she goes over in class.
I have language barrier but she is very organized and make the A&P-111&112 very easy. She explain each of the topics very simply and easy to understand. She provide notes and practice questions so that way you can practice before your exams and get an idea what kind of questions you should be prepared. READ notes and study guide - you will pass.
I love professor dillon! she is amazing. She gives extra credit and it made my final grade go up 10 points! take her for a&p 1 & 2. You will not regret it. Class is not mandatory and there are recorded lectures if you have to miss. She is very understanding and answers all questions. She has a lot of patience and explains all of the material!
I love professor dillon i would recommend her to anyone. very helpful and kindhearted
I LOVED professor Dillon. Her lectures were so interesting and really helpful. She is a kind person and is always available and easy to contact for help or questions. I would recommend her to everyone, I took her in fall and got an A and I'm taking her now. This class is super hard and you have to study 24/7 but prof. Dillon made it fun and easier.
Worst professor I've ever had. I am a straight A student and received my first F in Professor Dillon's class. She was extremely rude when I explained my circumstances at home and horrible with getting back to me in a timely fashion. If you care about your GPA do not take this professor, the class was extremely difficult.
This was a perfect class to take online. Professor Dillon's powerpoints are interesting, detailed, and all you need to do well on the tests. After a point, I stopped attending the zoom lectures and studied off the recorded ones. She also gives a ton of extra credit for each exam. I've never done so well in a class. Highly recommend!
A&P is a tough subject, but I was able to fully understand a majority of the concepts, thanks to her teaching style. She goes in-depth with her lectures and notes, and even drew diagrams for visualization. I would take her for every Bio class if I could.
She is super nice, her teaching skills are excellent, but as almost every class you definitely need to study.
Patricia Dillon brings a form of sophistication to teaching and explanation it's really quite masterful. As students we could only be so lucky as to have a person like her and with her knowledge base explaining something so complex and difficult . Her teaching style is admirable and she is a very nice person. Even if the lab Prof isn't great she is
Professor Dillon is wonderful.A&P is heavy on content and requires a lot of studying , but her great recorded lectures and her teaching style made it so easy to understand the material. Her exams were based on study guides, practice questions and power points .She gives extra credit assignments and add extra 10 points on one of the exams .
Professor Dillon is very fair, she basically gives you the answers. All you have to do is study!
Her lectures are too long and are difficult to keep up with. Her tests have way too much content.
Professor Dillon explains all of the topics in A&P very clearly. She draws examples, and shows pictures of the topics, which make it easy as a visual learner to follow along with her lectures. The tests are based off of the lectures. She is so sweet and gives extra credit for every exam. 10/10.
She was alright would I take her again no the tests are hard the only thing that saved me was my lab average and the extra credit
Professor Dillon was very organized when it came with what to expect each week. Her exams were extremely hard, but I was still able to get my A in the end. She gives up to 5 points extra credit after all 3 of the exams. She draws beautiful visuals that help with having a better understanding.
She was just ok. she's a sweet lady but the 3 hr lectures were so crazy with her. she would just jump right in and wouldn't stop at all (only for the break). I wouldn't understand what she would be talking til i started studying for the exam. She gives extra credit and the tests aren't bad. just a headache tho to watch her crazy teaching style
Professor Dillon is one of the best teachers I've had. She is very clear, goes slow, makes easy-to-understand diagrams & ensures you understand the material. She has fair tests and provides excellent notes. She prepares you, but you have to put the work in and study, it's a lot of information, but if you follow her lead you will be successful.
Prof. Dillon is one of the best professors at Bdale. She understands A&P so well, and takes the time to really teach each topic well. She is also genuine person outside of class. A&P isn't going to be easy regardless, so don't skip class, take a LOT of notes, study the material she covered with her study guides, and you'll do great in her class.
this is hands down best professor at bdale if youre nervous or have anxiety about anatomy i promise you take her she is the absolute BEST EVER!!!!!!! LITERALLY got 95s on all my tests because she explains it so so well. a lot of info studied about 3-4 hours a day for this class but she makes understanding it so easy
