Professor steinke is a really great professor!! You must attend lecture either wise you will miss the lecture notes, she does not give you access to the power point lecture notes so you are gonna have to get ready to write write write a lot , she helps out a lot though if you have any questions in lecture or lab. I definitely recommend her!

Definitely recommend Prof. Steinke to anyone taking A&P! She's great, and really cares about her students success, she really tries to help you out in lab and lecture. She doesn't post her powerpoints on BB so class attendance is required. She grades tests the same day, & gives tons of extra credit. May seem hard at first but shes one of the best

She gives you homework every week. It is hard to find out how she operates because her tests and reviews don't match. She will give you lectures and all you worrying about is writing it down instead of listening, you just hearing it. She is a tough one.

Professor Steinke is THE best! Her reviews DO match the exams(I'm not sure why people below me say otherwise) They received a C so go figure. Goes to show they didn't study properly. Do the study guide, read the chapters, ask questions if you're lost. She answers any and all questions you have. There really is no excuse not to pass her class.
