FIRE HER!!!!! Her tests are not based on lectures. Class average grades on exam are Fs and Ds. I don't recommend her to anyone. Go to Santiago Canyon and take Mr. Houska. And if you are stuck with her, best of luck.

Got an A but I had to work my ass off. If you want to do well you better read the BOOKS front and back. Her tests are based on the information contained in the syllabus but focusing only on the syllabus will not be a good idea. Her class was pretty much a self study course.

She is a very smart lady but, has no teaching skills. The worst teacher I have ever had.

try to find yourself a better teacher - highly NOT recommended

The WORST teacher ever. Horrible class with a horrible teacher. Find somebody else or wait. Do NOT take any class with her!!! You will be sorry you did!

I wonder if Mansfield wrote that her class is ez herself. There is NOBODY who considers her class ez. She loves students to fail and is proud of her 80% drop-out rate. There were 32 of us at the beginning and only six finished. She is wacko with a chip on her shoulder. And you MUST call her DOCTOR.

She is the worst teacher I have ever taken! She goes off on irrelevant tangents in lectures and shows indifference to our learning. She is not approachable and she probably gets a rush out of failing her students. DO NOT TAKE HER! She should be fired!

Should look at other professors. Don't be to proud of yourself.

The lecture is worthless, and she is not clear on what specifically you need to know and understand from the text. As a survey course one cannot completely memorize the text but that is exactly what you need to do in order to score well on the exams. Find a teacher at a different school.

As a medical student in MExico, I couldn't believe I almost failed this class. The class is very hard and the teacher is very professional, but her lecture is the worse. Exams are quite hard, though not impossible. All I can say is, take "Hampton" and if you really want to challenge your self, take Mansfield. PREPARE FOR PHYSIOLOGY :P

Horrible!!! Please never take her. Put it off for another semester if you have to. NO JOKE!!!

Dr. Mansfield as a person was actually very nice, but her class was horrible. The exams were extremely detached from the lectures and the class was not run efficiently in any matter. To her credit, she is stretched too thin and NEEDS!!! to give some of it up to focus on her students learning. Perhaps that would make a difference.

If you couldn't handle Anatomy, don't expect this to be easier, especially with Mansfield. This ain't no piece of cake or walk on the beach. Take Houska. He is way better. Mansfield doesn't give a s... for his students. Just study hard an NEVER GIVE UP in PHYSIOLOGY!!

She is very smart and knows her material so much in depth until she has no clue how to explain to students in lecture. Many hours of lecture is pretty much taking your brain around the circle to get nothing.

Horrible teacher!!! Save yourselves time, go to Santiago and take Houska!!!

She is the worst teacher I have ever had. Its an introductory course but she teaches it as pre-med, yea that may be great and you learn a lot, but I managed a B in the class, only because I spent over 60 hours in the study lab and over 80 hours studying at home not to mention all the reading. She does not understand that its a 5 unit class, not 16!

Get the fu.. out and take Houska. If you are already there, haha (immitating Nelson from the Simpson's) She is your worse nightmare. She'll make sure you won't forget her. Exams are beyong you if you tend to slack off. Just get the fuc. out. This lady is extremely hard even with a lot of studying. If ESL student, DON"T TAKEEEEEEEEE!!! You'll belos

This lady is nuts! Thinks we R all grad school students & that she & her team of superhero students R on the cutting edge of physiology research. She should retire or take a long walk off a short bridge. Don't make the mistake of taking her & hoping it won't be so bad. It will guaranteed! I had to drop cause she was single handedly ruining my life!

she is the worst teacher ever, for real. some of my friends barely pass the class. she told us to do the work book for every week lecture quizes, even if you memorize the whole workbook, the questions isn't from there. she chose 1 table and ask you just about that, eveyone got lost

I dropped the class and took it at santiago canyon college with Houska, ended up getting an A.... Houska ROCKS!!!! don't believe me, just ask anyone who took his class !!!

***WARNING: DO NOT ENROLL IN PROFESSOR MANSFIELD'S ANATOMY COURSE! THIS COURSE IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO PASS. OUR AVERAGE CLASS GRADE WAS AN F on EVERY TEST! SHE IS NOT LOGICAL WHATSOEVER. TAKE THIS CLASS WITH ANYONE BUT HER.

VERY HARD TEACHER, TEACHES UNDERGRAD STUDENTS LIKE PHD STUDENTS,VERY HARD TO PASS HER CLASS,GOODLUCK TO WHOEVER TAKES HER CLASS,YOU HAVE TO TAKE IT AGAIN TO PASS.

VERY BAD TEACHER, NOT EXPLAIN THINGS WELL ON HER WEB. EXAM SUPER HARD. SHOUD NOT TAKE HER

ONE OF THE WORST TEACHERS YOU CAN EVER GET!!!!

I am in the class right now and it is terrible. I choose to disregard the past comments about her thinking I would do fine as an EMT. This class is set up for you to fail! We wrote letters to the dean and signed petitions. If you want to work your butt off, live and breath anatomy and not get rewarded than this class is for you. Good luck.

Biggest waste of time ever. Makes you pay $100 for her own syllabus, plus $300 worth of other books & materials, and her utterly useless syllabus has typos in it. In my opinion, this professor sets classes up for most students to fail. Her assistant mumbles, refuses to repeat anything, and scolds you for asking questions. WE'RE NOT MED STUDENTS!

She is a poor professor she is head of the science Dept. her exams are not even based on letcures. HORRIBLE! Better of taking Houska At Santiago Canyon he is FABULOUS!!!!!

SHE Needs to get fired! Horrible! TAKE HOUSKA AT SANTIAGO CANYON SOO much Better GREAT PROFESSOR!

Don't take her. Even if she is the only teacher that works around your schedule. Her exams are consist of random questions that she find online (not what is in the textbook.) She is so bad that other professors will not recommend you taking her. If you're planning on going into the Santa Ana Nursing Program, she will put you back another year. ='(

poster of 4/12/05 is a loser, too. Take D. Burbridge or Houska instead of this so-called teacher.

This teacher is one of those whose questions on tests are designed to "trick" students. Even though you know the stubject matter inside and out, it won't help you, as you still have to "guess" on test questions because you're trying to figure out WHAT she's asking, not what the answer to the question is.

worst instructor i have ever had. very incompetent, useless, and lazy..no instruction, and no timely response to emails, phone calls, and totally unreachable via office hours. DO NOT TAKE HER... oh, by the way, who's her hairdresser? she should fire them too. you are the worst mansfield... DR.? of what?

The worst professor ever. I am a straight A student and did my undergrad at a great school. I had to take this out of necessity for a PA program and she made it impossible to get an A. Half the class dropped and the majority of who was left failed. She should never be allowed to teach because she doesn't.

This class was horrendous!!!! Don't do it!!! whatever you do don't do it!!! I've always been a good student and nursing has been what i wanted to do for awhile but this class made me doubt myself. She is SUPER unorganized and has a million different sources we have to look through to take notes.Take Houska at SCC, you will have a much better time!

NON-RESPONSIVE!!!...for an online professor, she is horrible at responding to emails, about exams, assignments, etc. She also replies with rude comments when you are trying to get a hold of her and she finally does respond back to you. I would never recommend her as a professor again. She needs to retire!

ouch!! hard to get a good grade, even if you are an A student & study a lot. she doesn't teach!! sorry, she might be a nice person, but she's not a good professor...

horrible teacher ever

Like others said, she is very nice - but she is ridiculously hard. She teaches at a PhD level - not a community college level. She bases her tests on her syllabus which basically have one word phrases and you better know every bit of information under the sun to have a chance at passing.

AVOID AVOID!!! I would recommend taking this course at a nearby college. 95% of her students do not finish or fail the class. Anatomy is high on a nurses list and you need a good grade. She even tells you on the first day. I hope you do not have a life because Anatomy has just taken over.

I would not take her again, is not worth it to attend her lectures because they are not clear. You are better off reading the book in your own and getting a tutor.she will trick you in the questions test. She is very sweet but I don't think. If you ask her questions her answers are not clear. Did not like her at all as an instructor.

I do not care how nice she is. We are not here to analyse her personality. There is a mid-term and a final exam and that is a big chunk of your total grade. No homework, a quiz every week that has absolutely nothing with the lecture. As a matter of fact, it does not matter if you show up or not you are already lost and depending on yourself to lean

This was the only anatomy class I found that was still open and I now see why. This class is pointless to take she has students spend 500 dollars on books/supplies, she does not give a study guide that actually helps, you are set up to fail DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!!! There is absolutely no structure to the class and you have to teach yourself!

Very difficult to follow. She gives you a syllabus that is impossible to follow, no real direction as to what you need to focus on and study. I would not recommend taking her.

Wow, that was ridiculous! Class is 550 points, 350 of them are midterm/final. Problem is, the exams are incredibly difficult with limited direction provided by the professor. Mansfield just makes the course as hard as she can, and does it with pride. I got a 98 percent in Anatomy, and struggled for a C in this course. DO NOT TAKE find ALTERNATE

DO NOT TAKE. if you are looking for nursing prerequisites...WAIT for a different class. this grade will ruin your GPA...multiple test answers were wrong...tests you on pictures of abnormal anatomy....

Horrible class and professor. I took her hybrid Anatomy course with online "lecture" and traditional lab. There is NO content to the online portion of the course except taking WileyPlus quizes and reading the book. Tells you to study her syllabus ($100+ at bookstore) and yet maybe 30% of the syllabus material is on the exams or quizzes. AVOID!

If you like organization, structure, and direction, do not take this class. I am a good student, (got all A's) except for this class. Syllabus was confusing, labs did not correlate with assigned reading. Midterm, final, and practicals (I,II) cover 8 weeks worth of material, which is difficult to memorize. Unbelievably frustrating class!

Worst class I've ever taken overall, in any subject at any college. Unhelpful teacher, tests have nothing to do with the lectures.Very confusing. Makes you buy her OVERPRICED lab syllabus. Avoid all together. You are much better off waiting for a spot to open up in another class. Don't waist your time and money.

I don't care how smart you are. You have to work super hard here to get a good grade. The exams are very difficult, master level. Find other college or professor that teaches this class. You won't like it. You will be miserable.Please listen to me! IF you only take this class, you are good, if not, MOVE ON!

Warning don't take her if you need a good grade. She is the worst teacher I've ever taken.. Stay away from this class. Trust me I'm helping you out. Doesn't follow PowerPoint or the realllllly long syllabus. She makes you memorize a ton. Not realistic. Formula charts, 50 page outline (that you fill in yourself)

She is very nice. Her exams are harder than graduate school exams. 10+ chapters for one exam.

She is a nice person and I want to believe that her heart is in the right place but she is not a good professor. She offers no lecture whatsoever and gives out the hardest exams imaginable. You basically teach yourself in this class and she is not at all helpful, in my opinion her input only further complicates things. I would avoid at all costs.

Im sorry to say but she is just dreadful. She has you do all your bio assignments on some other website and her class was once a week. its basically an independent studies class and you should only show up to the second half of class just to take the test. She rambles in her lectures and doesnt really teach biology. You will NOT pass this class.

By far the worst out there. Her midterms are extremely hard . She won't gov you any reviews for them and she give one out every 3 weeks. She changed the topics on the midterm on that same day. Won't rely to emails, or voice mails, never there during her office hours. No help what so ever! its not wroth taking her class, Long unhelpful Lectures

She is hard. Her lecture is all over the place. Hard to know what to study for. Nice person but her way of teaching is confusing. You'll probably have to teach yourself, group studies will help. And do all the extra credit possible. If u can take the class with someone else do it!

I would show up to class and her lectures were just really confusing. I was lost and when I asked questions she would reply to come see her after class.

Horrible person. Horrible. Just sad, please LEAVE! Unorganized, disrespects other teachers, bad attitude. No help at all. She doesn't listen to her students, sucks at teaching. I'm sorry but it's the truth.
