She's great!

Prof. Pearson is the best one could wish for A&P2. The grade isn't handed out u have to earn it. Material is straight forward though. The test is based on the slides/notes. Study the slides and notes well and you will do well. Prof. takes time to write out the hardest stuff on the board in the very manageable and easy to remember format or diagram

Dr Pearson is the best. She is very clear from the start about grading and what is expected. As someone who is not a science person she will help you so much! If I could take her again I would. Definitely work hard in her class because it's not an easy class but she will always do her best to help.

I had an amazing experience with Dr. Pearson for A&P 2. This class is not easy but she makes it very manageable, if you put in the work. Very personable and genuinely cares about her students. Wish I could've took her for all my bio courses!

I genuinely believe that Prof. Pearson is the best A&P professor that SCCC has to offer. By no means is her class an easy A, you still have to work hard for it just as any other A&P class. However, she is very fair and teaches in a very clear and understanding way. She gives extra credit opportunities and truly does want you to pass her class.

The best professor at Suffolk. She is very easy to talk to and understanding. Extra credit on every test. Tells us what to study. Lab practicals were super easy if you pay attention. I didnt get anything below an A in her course, but I did study a bit. I wish she taught more courses, she is AMAZING. 10/10

Prof. Pearson is hands down the best professor i've ever taken. She teaches in a way that makes you understand and enjoy the subject. I took the 6 week course so it was pretty intense but she cares deeply about her students and wants them to do well. she gives a lot of extra credit opportunities and gives review packets for exams.

Took the 6 week summer course and of course it was intense just like any other A&P 2! she gives extra credit, no curves on exams. This is not a class for the week so get ready to do a lot of studying. Very easy to fall behind. She only required the lab textbook which she wrote but it's very straight.

She does not explain concepts thoroughly. She speeds through the slides barely explaining them. She talks extremely fast. She'll tell the class that it's okay to ask more questions but then is completely oblivious if someone does raise their hand. Yes you can do good on this class, though it will be entirely on you to learn the material.

I felt as if I was not in A&P 2, more like med school. She talks too much, reads everything from her million slides, goes off topic. If you can teach yourself the material great, her tests are super hard, no curve, she gives lab book homework every week, extra credit that's like 10 pages is only 2 points. She's too much. Her tests are hard.

She is rude and annoying. She has too many slides, expects you to read off every slide. Her lectures are super long and boring, she goes off topic about her life. Her tests are hard, she will give no curve, no matter how much work you do and show dedication, she does not care. She will give a huge packet to do only worth 2 points.

Dr. Pearson was very sweet and really cared about her students. She's very knowledgable and passionate about what she teaches and always tries to simplify hard concepts. At the end of the course she gives a 16 page packet that adds 2 points to your average upon completion. She offers a lot extra credit and really wants to see her students succeed.

Took her BIO-132 course in fall 2025. Dr. Pearson is a great professor. She is very understanding and makes sure that you truly understand the material. She prepares you well for upcoming exams and lab practicals. BIO-132 is a hard class, but if you are willing to put in the time and effort to study, you will pass. I highly recommend her!
